For me, honest reviews are really important because it will open the travelers mind into different conclusions whether it should totally check the place out or just don’t waste your time in this place and go to the next one.
Most travelers have their time counted while traveling so they want to enjoy the most possible, not waste their time in something that it will end into disappointment. Obviously, it will be just my opinion, but when you see hundreds of opinions saying the same thing, you should totally take it into consideration and have a plan b.
Google Maps has helped me a lot in my travels, as I helped a lot of people with my pictures and reviews of different places. I like to upload pictures on most of my reviews because there is a higher percent of the population that absorbs and learn things by visual interaction, including myself. Every time I log into my gmail, I receive an email saying that my post has helped XX numbers of people, and that honestly makes me very happy knowing that an honest post can save time and be efficient to different people.
I don’t share a specific type of post, I could be sharing my reviews from the Chichen-Itza Pyramid of Mexico like I can also share a post of a small pizza cart in downtown Rome. Anything that I feel like it will be helpful for other people, I will be sharing it for sure.
This year I have several trips which I am counting with Google Maps and Local Guides to get help and to help other travelers as well.
