I go on holiday in 10 days time to Marmaris, Turkey. I've been a few times and absolutely adore the place.
The reason I'm scared is that I've only just read reviews on the hotel I'm staying in, they paint a very colourful picture, both trip advisor and facebook seem to have more negative reviews than positive. I'm staying in the Golden Star hotel if you want to read some of the glowing reviews. Most trip advisor reviews I pay zero attention to, I actually have a little system that I use to determine if a reviewer is just a moaner or not, all I do is check their reviews for other hotels and see if they just pick fault with them. I know some of the reviews are just over exaggerations of people who love to tear places to pieces but some of them seem genuine. Quite a few of the glowing reviews are from Turkish people so I tend to ignore those as they could be friends or family trying to make the business look good.

I've tried contacting the site I booked through to change my hotel but they have said it's too late to cancel (with refund) and because I'm not there I cant change. They're basically saying I can only change when I get there and turn up at the dump of a building that it is or lose out on money and try and find more to book another hotel.
