You should never trust the pictures hotels post online

[Uncle Q]

We recently learned that hotel stars can't be trusted, but you probably shouldn't fall for their photos, either.
Often, hotels find clever angles and smart ways to tweak the photos they post online to make them appear nicer than they actually are.

Hotel-review-website Oyster sends professional reviewers around the world to check out vacation properties and sometimes, these reviewers come across hotels that are vastly different than the photos on their websites suggest.
Here are some photos they took that didn't quite match up with the online fantasy let these "photo fake-outs" serve as a cautionary tale against relying solely on hotels' marketing materials.






FANTASY: Chilling at the Delfino Beach Hotel's private beach in Sicily, blissfully devoid of other people.

​

REALITY: Feeling like a sardine.

​

FANTASY: Sleeping like a baby in a giant, plush bed at Hotel Athena in Tuscany.

​

REALITY: Falling through the giant crack between two twin beds that were shoved together.
