I only had 2 hours and found that it was not enough time. The museum forcefully confronts the development of racial segregation as it leads to what became Apartheid. The history of the English and Dutch settlers, and how they interacted with and ultimately dominated the native tribes, is explored in frank and moving ways. The museum also covers the student uprising starting in 1976, the reconciliation period starting in 1990 which led to Mandelas release and the ultimately the new Constitution and elections that ended the Apartheid era. I would suggest spending some time in the room with the film of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which shows a critical piece of the process of how the country moved peacefully away from the Apartheid era. The film is about 40 minutes but you I would suggest spending at least 1015 watching the Commission process.

Like most South African museums, the Apartheid Museum nearly always has a beautifully researched temporary exhibition. Until August 2008 the temporary exhibition at the Apartheid Museum focuses on Steve Biko and his place in the history of the country of his birth. The exhibition traces this from the establishment of the African intellectual tradition, through the move to Africanism, Pan Africanism, Black Consciousness, the student movements and official resistance and oppression. The exhibition has some very poignant moments. The medical evidence and the findings of the South African Medical and Dental Council which finally struck Dr Tucker off the role are shocking, even to people who remember the newspaper account. The comments of Minister Jimmy Kruger on the death of Biko are horrifying. The tributes to Biko by various public figures in widely diverse spheres are very moving.

The museum tells the story mainly through pictures and words with supporting videos and artifacts. It takes a fair amount of attention to follow the many complexities involved. I kept thinking I was missing important elements as it was sometimes difficult to follow the signage from location to location. That was aggravated by a special exhibit on Nelson Mandela located near the entrance that seemed to be organized topically rather than chronologically. That made it hard to follow. We literally kept losing our way through the museum and through the unfolding events of the story.

This led directly to a number of racial laws, including the Population Registration Act, which assigned every person to a racial category; and the Group Areas Act, which enforced separate urban areas for each race group.There were countless other repressive measures.

It's an easily toured museum because of its small size, but the rich resources it contains are outstanding.

The museum frequently also displays local art by AfricanAmerican artists a mustnotmiss feature of the museum.My one criticism: though the displays in the museum link the struggle of African Americans for rights to the struggle of women, laborers, the poor, various ethnic groups for rights, I have never seen any mention at all of the struggle of LGBT citizens of the U.S. for rights in this museum's display.In a city and state with an undistinguished record regarding LGBT rights, this is a major lacuna especially when important Civil Rights leaders from Coretta Scott King to James Baldwin, Bayard Rustin, John Lewis, Julian Bond, Mildred Jeter Loving and many others have emphasized that the struggle of African Americans for rights is linked to the struggle of LGBT people for rights." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg60766d106709r304229243LittleRockCentralHighSchoolNationalHistoricSiteLittleRockArkansas.html,Date of experience: August 2015,United States,Arkansas AR,Little Rock,"Saint Paul, Minnesota",A must see for every Little Rock visitor,"This visit was such a great learning experience.

I was going to take the course through PADI in Cedar Rapids. However, since I live in Iowa City and DiVentures is closer to me, I chose DiVentures. It turned out to be a biggest mistake. Heres my experience. 1The store operation was very disorganized. No one ever picked up phone calls, forcing me to drive there to get my questions answered. What ridiculous was that different staff gave me different answers for the same questions. One staff told another student the open water dive check began at 8 am in Cedar Fall, whereas it started at 9 am. My impression was that those staff had never been properly trained. In addition, no one ever informed me the schedule of classes and open water dive check. Only until the minute that the class started, I knew the schedule, interrupting all my own plan. The store only gave out the schedule at the last minute. Even worse, the store failed to follow its own lastminute schedule. The swimming pool reserved for the course was not open as scheduled. It asked us to meet at the swimming pool at 8 am on Sunday, had us wait outside of the swimming pool for 2 hours, and then told us it couldnt find any personnel to open the swimming pool. The whole Sunday was ruined. I paid 500 and imagined getting a decent training, but solely get crappy experience. 2It closed the store early without any notification, so I couldnt return the rental gear when I arrived the store. After my open water dive check on Sunday, the instructor who is also the store manager refused to open the store and take the rental gear back in the same day. Therefore, I returned the gear next day at my earliest time possible. When I arrived the store, a note was posted on the door saying that the store had to close early due to staff illness. The open water dive check instructor/store manager knew that we are going to return gear that day. However, she didnt email/message us the early closure of the store. I complained the early closure without notification to the CEO of the company. He said to me, is it you first time to encounter a store closed early No wonder the whole store was disorganized. If the tone at the top is to deny the wrongdoing, its not surprising that the store doesnt have any standard. 3Whats worse. Its instructors made racial comments/jokes. In the incidence that no personnel opened the swimming pool for the class, the instructor shouted out loudly, its more acceptable when white people screwed up. I complained it to the CEO. He thought I just made up stories. If you are a people with color, think twice before you choose DiVentures. Moreover, from its own staff, I learned that the retail price of DiVentures scuba gear is twice of the manufacturing cost. If youre economical, think twice before making purchase from DiVentures. Check out cheaper equipment online. There are plenty available online. The class and open water dive check were so simple, and the depth was around 10 or 15 feet. You dont need expensive equipment for it. If you plan to dive in ocean, there are plenty local dive centers to rent you a full set of equipment. Plus, scuba fin is too big to fit in a baggage. Also, ask around the dive level before you choose DiVentures. I learned it the hard way. After I received my scuba diving certificate from DiVentures, my friend who earned a certificate from PADI compared our certificate. Although both of us are certified for Level 1, mine allows to dive only up to 60 feet, but hers would allow up to 100 feet. It must be that DiVentures split the Level 1 course in PADI into 2 different courses, so it could charge students another couple of hundred bucks. In sum, if you are new to scuba and want to have a pleasure training experience, stay away from DiVentures. Its disorganized operation, horrible leadership and racial discriminated instructors will ruin your scuba experience." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg187147d190902r595843259PlaceMongeParisIledeFrance.html,Date of experience: July 2018,Europe,France,IledeFrance,unknown, employees who works in station are racial discrimination," in place monge station, I experienced racial discrimination. so if you have any question to employee who works in station, you would better to go another station." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg187399d8820198r551223471DresdenChristmasMarketDresdenSaxony.html,Date of experience: December 2017,Europe,Germany,Saxony,unknown,Culturalracial selectivity being practised here....,"We patronized 2 stalls and both stalls harboured staff who were inclined to be culturally selective.

We recently went for a oneweek ski vacation, renting a lovely chalet Unterberg 153 with my wife, children and their young families. The people were generally nice and the skiing was good, until we run into the gondola police. On the third day of our vacation, our two sons decided to stay back and take care of the babies instead of skiing. So my wife and one of our daughtersinlaw borrowed their ski passes to go up the mountain to enjoy the view. Little did we know that this was not allowed in Austrian ski resorts. We later found out that there is a sign in German informing the public that ski passes are not exchangeable, but nothing in English to warn foreign tourists. So when my darkskin wife and our blond daughterinlaw went to take the gondola up to the mountain, one of them was controlled and fined 50 Euros. What was most upsettingin addition to being punished for not understanding Germanwas that the supposedly random check left the blond passenger alone and focused on the darkskin person. So here is my advice to you based on this unpleasant racial profiling experience: Grossarl is a nice ski destination if you speak German, but if you dont you may want to think twice about going there, especially if your skin color designates you as a foreigner!" -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg42532d561009r600247904NorthvilleDownsNorthvilleMichigan.html,Date of experience: July 2018,United States,Michigan MI,Northville,unknown,Clerk's with racial issues Putting In Bets.,This was the most low class experience that I have had.

That stance is unfortunate because she took great liberty on her choice of content and we had a tour with minimal facts about the building, its pathbreaking impact or how the architecture displayed Jefferson's concept of higher education. We got quite a bitand it was valuableon the role of enslaved staff and how they were treated. However, she used Pavillions I and III and the racial prejudices of two of the first faculty members as illustration without any attempt to mention anything positive about them or other personnages of that period. Then we heard a lot about student protests of the '60's and '70's and more recently, involving politics Vietnam and racial inequities based on the experience of a personal friend of hers. These are valid topics, certainly, but we were there to learn about the Rotunda, newly reopened after a long restoration, not politics. She covered Jefferson's involvement with Sally Hemings, an enslaved servant at Monticello, framing it as a scientically proven fact that he had fathered several children with her after his own wife had died, adding that the relationship was nonconsensualperhaps true but certainly not yet accepted fact. In any event, Jefferson's sexual proclivities had no place on a Rotunda tour; we can go learn about that at Monticello.

I believe all prospective customers should know how this casino condones racial discrimination before affording them the opportunity of your time and money. The CSM did contact me the day after the incident, however, no future action was taken. Hence, I emailed the director of HR on December 28 and still yet, no follow up. Hence, this casino has absolutely no respect for their customers and allows racial discrimination to occur.""My experience tonight has been such an eye opener and has motivated me to begin creating some changes for the upcoming year.Tonight, my family and I decided to go to Table Mountain for a fun outing. Upon arriving to the casino my cousin's and I decided to ask a server for a complimentary drink. After, the server allowed us to get a drink I noticed a hair in my cup. I politely told her there was a hair in the drink and she rudely responded, ""Well throw it away."" I then asked her can I have another one and she replied no and walked away. I followed her and asked her once again, nicely, ""May I have another drink."" She still persistently replied no. Then, I asked to speak to her manager and she responded, ""No you may not, but I'll take you to security."" I said no I'd like to speak to a manager. Seeing as a officer was right there she told him I was harassing her. The officer was very professional when I stated what happened and allowed me to speak with her supervisor. The supervisor informed me that it would be handled and offered me another drink.Moments later, a man walked up to my cousin's and I and asked to see ID Identification. We showed it to him and then he told us that he'll need them to run a check on it, we hesitantly agreed. Confused at what the ID was needed for since it was checked at the gate, he said that the server claimed we were harrasing her. We restated the same story. When speaking to him and restating the story he had such a biased facial epxression. Reluctantly, he let it go.Later into the night, another server came by and we asked for a water. She served everyone else around us expect us. So we decided to ask one more time. She rudely said, ""Wait."" And after she handed us water she went to speak to the officer behind a machine and asked him why haven't they kicked us out yet and that she wants to file a complaint on us. She then went to speak with the biased ""manager"" and told him ""her story."" As we clearly saw what was going on we decided to talk to him ONCE AGAIN. He was rude when telling us we need to, ""Be quiet and listen to him."" He stated that the 2nd server said that I knocked over her cart and took a water."" Extremely puzzled, I said that never happened I sat in the same seat, her cart was still in tack with all its items when she came over to speak with you. My family members once again defended me because they were EYE WITNESSES. The manager said he's been watching the survielence and I told him well if he was he would have seen that I never knocked her cart down. Then he told my family members and I we have to leave the premises immediately. I've never felt so discriminated against. How is it that I was attacked from the very first interaction.

The exhibits display the injustices suffered by the people, their hopes and their struggles to overcome them.Gandhi This display section shows how Gandhi got involved against injustice suffered by coloureds including Indians in South Africa and later in India against the British colonialists who meted out unfair and unjust treatment to his countrymen. The display include two of his possessions, his bicycle and the spinning wheel which he used to weave his own clothes. The exhibition highlights his nonviolent movement, Satyagraha to achieve independence for India. His life ended at the hands of an extremist.King Black citizens in USA were not treated equal to whites. White people had their own schools, shops, parks etc where black people were banned. The exhibition shows various events and Kings fights against these injustices committed against his people. The exhibition also displays a film about his life and resistance together with a display depicting his famous speech I have a dream. His vision was to see black and white children attending the same schools and playing together.Mandela fought against the apartheid regime in South Africa where blacks had no say whatsoever. Blacks could not live in white areas, seating in buses were segregated as well as in the churches. Mandela was imprisoned for 27 years at Reuben Island and was forced to work in a quarry. His greatness lies in his vision and achievement of racial harmony between black and white people. After he became the President of South Africa, by his actions he won the hearts of many white people. His true achievement is the present South Africa considered a rainbow nation where all persons of every race has equal opportunities.This exhibition was an eye opener for me and a great learning and thinking experience!

One such place is the former Carver Theatre, a twostory, stucco faade brick building located on Harden Street across from historically black Allen University. Built around 1941, the Carver Theatre was one of two exclusively black theaters in Columbia that showed movies and hosted weekly talent shows during the racial segregation era. The other black theater, the Capitol, has been demolished.The Carver continued to operate as a movie theater until 1971. Though its been commercially repurposed with a first floor renovation, the National Registerlisted structure still sports its distinctive vertical marquee and has many original features inside, including a slanting floor, a lobby with ticket booth, and a balcony with the original seating and lighting.

The swimming pool reserved for the course was not open as scheduled. It asked us to meet at the swimming pool at 8 am on Sunday, had us wait outside of the swimming pool for 2 hours, and then told us it couldnt find any personnel to open the swimming pool. Even worse, its instructors made racial comments/jokes. In the incidence that no personnel opened the swimming pool for the class, the instructor shouted out loudly, its more acceptable when white people screwed up. I complained it to the CEO.

My husband and I felt like the guide we had was our teacher and we were in school to be taught about race relations. Yes, Uncle Toms Cabin was an important work by Stowe back before the Civil War, and it was interesting to see what led to her wanting or feeling compelled to write it, but from the moment we walked in to the Visitors Center to the moment we left her house, we felt like we were being judged on hw we could relate this novel to todays racial climate, including what novels we had read that were socially important somehow. The house had a homier feel than Twains but it was smaller and had been recently refurbished to feel like someone was living in it today.

We are writing an urgent complaint regarding the 2 tours we took with GLT tours in Rome from 15th July 2018 Rome by Night and 16th July Tivoli. Here are the highlights Paid for ONLY English means only English not English and SpanishWe had paid for an exclusive English speaking tour for 'Rome by Night' 'Tivoli with Adriana Villa'.On both the occasions, we had company of mixed Spanish and English speaking guides with majority emphasis given on Spanish words. If we exclusively have paid for English ONLY, then you cannot provide another substitute without prior knowledge for the same price. This is absolute wrong and termed as cheating.Rome by Night Tour was hopeless. The guide kept laughing at her own jokes and for no reason. We began to think she was drunk or too ignorant.The guide was very unclear when speaking English and was more loud and clear for Spanish making the English experience a disaster.The tour was mostly in Spanish and some of that was translated to English in blurry sentences.She could not pronounce the English words and had very little to talk about the history of Rome, its culture or any of her extended knowledge during the tour. It was mostly laughing her at own silly jokes which made the experience awkward and a disaster for us all as majority were English speaking tourists.Miss/Mrs. Samatha MacinatiWe are writing to urge you to remove/withdraw Miss/Mrs. Samatha Macinati from her existing or freelance contract job role of 'Tour Guide' GLT before further action is required to be taken by us.On 16th July, we took an exclusive English Speaking tour with her.Total of 64 assuming tourists were on board with 58/59 English and 5/6 Spanish.She began speaking more seconds per min for Spanish translation in the bus, and I understand that English words take longer to translate and even then her Spanish felt longer by the second. Other guests will agree with us. She skipped saying few important details about Tivoli in English which she mentioned in Spanish, and which other fellow tourists told us about later.We asked her to speak more elaborately in English upon arriving to Tivoli and she rudely answered that 'I am speaking in both'. She refused to even look at my father and me.This was clearly a racial behaviour. Here sudden favouritism to 6 Spanish tourists was beyond embarrassment for asking a simple request question to a tour guide. She was so blunt and rude and kept laughing at us, who were then the only Indian family with her on board.We believe she was thinking racially that we do not seem to understand her English which for your kind information was as hopeless as her attitude to Indian tourists and we disapprove of this behaviour. I have few other American witnesses, who were angry with her on the tour and are thoroughly disappointed with her rude, arrogant and overconfident attitude of a tour guide. Upon reaching Tivoli, she started purposely speaking more in Spanish and when she asked us all, 'how many Spanish people are here around', hardly few any hands were raised in the crowd.I pointed out, that 'this is what we mean', she arrogantly replied 'So what, they also paid for this too' and yelling at me instead, that 'Don't you know Spanish"" to me a tourist. I have witnesses who can confirm this behaviour.Her over friendly mode towards the 6 strangers was getting annoying to all other fellow tourists as she was only talking in Spanish during break time and we had common voice head phones attached to all our ears so we could only listen to Spanish and not even talk between ourselves during the common head phone tour.If we talk about payment assuming 64 guests, we English chosen tourists being majority, would hold 90 of your profit on 16th July. And yet, she chose to ignore us, 90 tourist request and kept mingling beyond limits required from a tour guide with the other 6 Spanish chosen tourists. We thought they were her family.My father started telling her to understand her customers requirements and pointing out that she was doing the wrong thing. So she immediately changed to being rude and arrogant with him. She demonstrated obvious raciest behaviour thinking that 'this Indian old man does not understand any English'. So she raised her hands in strongly disapproving motion to my father in front of everyone, when he was talking, and moved her head to the other side. Her behaviour startled and astonished my elderly father and all other people. I thought she was about to slap him. Her behaviour was uncalled for and very raciest.Miss/Mrs. Samantha Macinati, has no basic manners for customers, guests or elders. She is not fit to work for this job with tourists.She is highly raciest with her conclusion about my father and was inappropriately favouring the other 6 Spanish chosen language tourists during the entire 6/8 hours of the Tivoli tour.We have many witnesses who spoke to me and my family to share their disappointment about Miss/Mrs. Samantha Macinati and her arrogant attitude towards us.Upon reaching Rome, we and more tourists with us, went to speak with the reception staff at Green Line tours office who was very poor in supporting our complaint and instead telling us to leave. This was horrible experience at your office and we will inform all friends to never take the tour with you. To avoid further public embarrassment and rascal complaints on social media, I strongly suggest that you remove Samantha Macinati, from the position of GLT guide. She is not worthy of this position and is therefore creating a bad experience for all tourists. She is destroying the name of your business in Italy and worldwide. I have told this to everyone in my global contacts and they will also be spreading the news about Miss/Mrs. Samantha Macinati 'favouritism to Spanish and racism to Indian' behaviour and her links with Green Line tours. I request you to take this matter as top priority and take action as required. Your company's image and customer satisfaction is being misshandled by this employee. She has not only demonstrated racial behaviour towards my father in front of 64 international tourists but she has humiliated us for asking her to speak more in English and was very rude, obnoxious and arrogant with her biased favouritism to the only 6 Spanish tourists on board. Other guests were equally disappointed and angry with her attitude. Such are not called 'tour guides'.Pleas contact me to speak about this in more detail.Saloni Sonawala44 744 754 9441UK" -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg187791d1464963r118169390GreenLineToursDayToursRomeLazio.html,Date of experience: September 2011,Europe,Italy,Lazio,"Toronto, Canada",Stefano should rethink his career choice,"On behalf of our fellow travelers on 'Taste of Italy' and the Naples, Capri, Pompeii tour sept 13 th and 15 th let me echo the previous review.

Also their were seemingly Scottish older visitors also who all were not searched by the security guard after going through the scanner.

He showed us the techniques, it was a lovely sunny day, and we enjoyed ourselves.We wish the experience had ended there, but a younger woman got talking to us and the conversation revealed a level of racial and religious bigotry I have never before experienced. We felt really uncomfortable, and being handed a handwritten tract from the Koran as we left to 'prove' her bigoted opinions against Moslems did nothing to endear the place to us. So, despite the fun goldpanning, give this place a wide berth.

The store is full of native artworks, crafts, stone sculptures, jewelry, music, etc. However, following my visit in August 2018, this store has lost my patronage. My friends and I walked in looking to purchase a few specific items but the staff was completely disinterested in helping us. My friend asked for help and was abruptly cut off in mid sentence by a salesman who told her that he didnt have time at the moment to wait on her. And then we watched while he continued to schmooze another customer who was looking to buy big ticket jewelry items. As we waited for service, we proceeded to quietly browse around the shop until a younger sales lady snapped at another one of my friends; accusing her of taking photos of the stone carvings in one of their display cases which she was NOT doing at all... she was texting someone. There are signs everywhere telling customers not to take photos of the artwork they sell. They claim the reason is to protect the artists. As a side note, I fail to see how this policy protects anyone. Both the store and the individual artists who sell their works there are missing out on tons of free publicity and advertising by not allowing people to take photos of the artworks and share them. Also, if an instore customer knows someone who wants to buy a piece but they arent allowed to take photos, the store is losing out on a potential sale. Anyway, after this rude sales lady wrongly jumped all over my friend, an older man came out of nowhere and started to stalk our group around the store like we were shoplifting or something!! I finally said to hell with this place and we all walked out without purchasing anything. Later, we came to the conclusion that our poor treatment by the staff had been a case of racial profiling. 3 of the 4 of us are native and all of the staff we interacted with were white. And this store sells Native American ephemera. How ironic is that! And this whole episode bothered me enough that 4 months later, Im still thinking about it. Anyway, please dont spend your money here. This store puts dollars ahead of customer service and clearly has no respect or consideration for indigenous peoples." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg60750d181690r461039439CarmelMountainRanchGolfCourseSanDiegoCalifornia.html,Date of experience: February 2017,United States,California CA,San Diego,unknown,Extreme racial discrimination,"I am a whites woman engaged to an Asian man.

Really the only places we got to learn any was in the First African Baptist Church and here. While the museum certainly presents the negative aspects of race relations in Savannah Jim Crow, the KKK, overt discrimination, that was not the overall takeaway. I walked away inspired by the people who made the nonviolent movement work in the city. I learned about the sitins, boycotts and the movement to integrate Tybee Beach, none of which I had heard of before. The more well known civil rights leaders including Hosea Williams and MLK came to Savannah; however, I thought this museum did a great job of highlighting the lesser known heroes of the city's fight for equality. While I understand that the racial history of the city may be uncomfortable for many Savannah natives, it really seems that they have something to be proud of herea successful nonviolent movement that aided the progress toward racial equality in this country. These heroes should be celebrated, not relegated to a museum featured on the ""Savannah Off the Beaten Path"" list. The museum does not seek to blame or shame white Americans in fact, there is a whole panel dedicated specifically to white Americans who assisted in the movement. Instead, it seeks to educate and celebrate this important part of the city's history.After going through the museum, we spoke with Troy Lance, who was an attentive and helpful tour guide throughout our visit. We learned about the struggle to get this museum on the Dot route, on the mainstream tourism maps, and on the list of recommended museums by the Visitor Center which is only a few blocks away.

The exhibit does a great job educating the public about the financial and racial struggles the South has faced in it's past, while also pointing out it's enormous growth and success. Visitors really get a good understanding of how difficult it must have been to be a cotton farmer in the South, especially as a tenant farmer or sharecropper. The men and women of the past had to work so hard just to provide basic necessities like food and clothes for their families. It definitely makes you realize how fortunate we are today.The museum also does a good job at covering the Civil Rights Era and the boom of the Banking Industry in Charlotte that helped contribute to it's population explosion. The museum also has a few other exhibits upstairs that you can check out, but they are rotating exhibits and weren't quite as interesting as the primary exhibit downstairs.I visited the museum on a Sunday and admission was free.

To those that will read this review, there are two separate museum collections that are connected by the main foyer to the other. The Museum of Mississippi History as other reviewers have stated, displays artifacts, narrated videos, and features famous Mississippians from 13,000 BC until the present. The Mississippi Civil Rights Museum displays artifacts, prolific speeches, narrated videos, and film footage of AfricanAmerican life from slavery to the present. There are a total of eight galleries in this museum and it has interactive stations like the quality of a Smithsonian museum where you can listen to audio recordings of interviews and speeches of those who fought for racial equality in Mississippi. You will see the love and the hate that came with the fight for equality in this museum. The museum rivals other civil rights museums across the Southeast that I have visited.There was so much to see and read about some of the history of Mississippi and the Civil Rights Era that I, an educated person and native, wasn't aware of. My heart rejoiced and my soul was stirred. Some of the exhibit was emotional for me at times, but it was well worth the emotion to continue to learn about the past and how it has impacted the present. The museum gift shop was stocked with tshirts, coffee mugs, magnets, cookbooks, cheese straws, pencils, and other trinkets that were decent souvenirs. There is a small restaurant in the museum that sells sandwiches and other baked goods, but I didn't eat there. Perhaps on another visit when it isn't as crowded.Plan four hours to visit the museum of you tour both museums and take a break for lunch. My suggestion is to go during the week as early as the museum opens. I went two days after Christmas with my family and it was packed with families and visitors that I met, as far away as Washington state.

As soon as it could do so legally following the Brown vs. Board of Education ruling by the US Supreme Court in 1954, Berea reintegrated its student body.

Haunting. Gutwrenching.,"Exploring the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC was one of the most emotionallydraining tours I've been on. You hear of the Holocaust as a young kid, but the experience is elevated to a whole new different level when you get to see artifacts of one of the most horrific times in the history of the world with your own eyes.It was offseason when I visited no entrance fee, so the line to get in was not long. Security was tight; they'll check your bags before you get in. Then you'll head to the elevators, where you will be given a booklet detailing the story of one Holocaust victim. You are encouraged to think of this victim during the tour. You can easily spend four hours in the museum. It is huge. And masterfully designed. I think the crowds could detract from your experience. Avoid peak seasons. Come early in the morning if possible.The Holocaust Museum is filled with a mix of actual artifacts and replicas from a grim period. Shoes of innocent victims. Hats. Wedding rings. It shows tons of pictures of thin workers, cramped in tiny bunk beds. Dioramas of the gas chambers. Movie clips of the killings and burials. It is thoughtprovoking. It makes you think about the twisted ideology of racial supremacy. It makes you think about the innocent victims fighting for their lives, struggling to thrive in an environment where death is in the foreseeable future.One thing that should be pointed out is that the Nazis targeted hundreds of thousands of other groups, aside from the Jews. Jews became their main target, but they also singled out various groups for persecution because they were either ""enemies of the state"" or they were sources of social, racial, or biological ""degeneration."" Communists, trade unionists, liberals, and pacifists were arrested for their political views. Dissenting clergy faced imprisonment if they spoke out against the regime. Jehovah's Witnesses were persecuted for their refusal to swear allegiance to the state. Homosexuals were targeted because of their sexual orientation. Gypsies, Czechs, Poles, and Slavic people from the Soviet Union were stigmatized as racially ""inferior."" Mentally and physically disabled people were regarded as ""lives unworthy of life."" What kind of twisted thinking is that!And the sad part is that persecution still exists today. People are discriminated based on race, religion, sexual orientation, mental health, etc. The Holocaust Museum made me emotional. Furious. But it also reminded me that although we have moved forward and have gone a long way, there is still a lot of work that needs to be done. I need to be more vigilant. To speak out when needed. And to be the voice for people who haven't found their voice.Powerful. Haunting. Gutwrenching.The U.S. Holocaust Museum needs to be on your bucket list. Take a break from your fastpaced life and visit this museum. You will come out with a renewed vigor for life." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg28970d103441r631422667UnitedStatesHolocaustMemorialMuseumWashingtonDCDistrictofColumbia.html,Date of experience: November 2018,United States,District of Columbia DC,Washington DC,"Long Island, New York",Feel the pain of extermination of a racial people,"I went with my wife and aside for the fact that it shows what can occur when despots wish to eliminate certain people Jews Gypsies, Intellectuals, Handicapped etc I was glad but not surprised to see as a Jew that people of all races and creeds were there to view the history of the Holocaust of WWII.

But, this is much more than an emotional journey into one of modern history's most inhuman moments. It is a jarring reminder of of the banality of evil and the persistence of hateful prejudice that unfortunately seems to have no trouble justifying even the most horrifying exercises in persecution.The museum's exhibits are truly stunning from the photos to the documentary presentations right down to the sense of foreboding and the realization, perhaps the most important revelation of the museum, that these horrific acts were carried by human beings just like us! While in one sense the direct perpetrators of the Holocaust were surely among the world's most heinous evildoers, the more striking recognition may be to ask the question: ""How could the Holocaust have happened"" And then to recognize that the answer lies not in the manic presence of Hitler as a political leader, or in the mass hysteria that gave rise to the Nazi party, but in the passive acceptance of an absurd and surpassingly ugly set of beliefs that allowed a political movement to invest in emotional scapegoating, to justify mob violence and, in the end, quietly crept its way to the unimaginable genocide.There is no more powerful museum in Washington nor one more emotionally arresting. The message goes far beyond the promise of: ""Never Again!"" to a far more haunting query: ""Can you be so sure"" Have we once again entered an era of mass political rallies that generate a frenzy of hatred and justify nearly any action in the name of nationalism and alleged racial superioritySimply put, the Holocaust Museum should be on any and every tour of Washington, DC. It is a good counterpoint to the impressive monumentalism of the Mall and the federal institutions that fuels a justifiable patriotism but runs the risk of spilling over into the kind of xenophobia that justifies discrimination, fuels political excess and rationalizes the very violence it claims to deplore." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg28970d103441r596785499UnitedStatesHolocaustMemorialMuseumWashingtonDCDistrictofColumbia.html,Date of experience: July 2018,United States,District of Columbia DC,Washington DC,"Campinas, SP",Great Memorial,"The museum is divided in three floors: the first shows the rise of Hitler and the Nazis to power and their crazy racial ideology; the middle one shows the assault on Jews and mass murder, as well as Nazi invasions; and the last one depicts the liberation of the camps and aftermath.

Unless, of course, you want to explain to them the horrors of genocide or you absolutely have to. I will clarify this suggestion throughout.The first thing they will tell you is that the museum is also a memorial. They dont want you to be loud, and even one maroonedcoated individual said that if we were going to talk amongst ourselves, that it should be about the subject matter at hand. Take that as you will. There is so much reading to digest, that this is difficult for children and adults will have to spend the majority of time explaining/talking to their kids. There are short films 1416min on the 4th floor, and the whole time these kids were asking their mother, quite loudly, about it. I have kids, and I love them, but anyone under the age of 10 will only get nightmares from the graphic content. Just dont. Getting to the museum itself was relatively easy. Its just adjacent to the Washington Monument. There is street parking around free on Sundays, but its very limited. I purchased tickets for 12:30, but we arrived early and they let us in. I dont think they worry too much about the time in which you purchase the ticket. The tickets are interesting, because the actual museum is free, but since its so popular, getting an advanced pass ensures that you get a place in the actual exhibition; food for thought. The tour begins on the 4th floor, where topics ranging from the rise of the Third Reich, to the Nuremburg Laws, and racial identity are covered. This is especially interesting, but if you are looking to identify how a nonGerman from Austria was able to incite this sort of radicalism in people all over Europe, you wont find the answer here. The origins of Adolf Hitler, along with his henchman are not a focus of the museum; since this is a memorial, much is focused on the perspective from the Jewish population. There is one flow of traffic, so when people decide to backtrack there isnt much allowance. The exhibition itself starts out very narrow comparatively, and there is much to read on either side of the walls. In my opinion, this design flaw leads to a backup of people and it can take a while to get through, especially when you consider most peoples general lack of awareness for anyone other than themselves. The museum is divided up into three sections; Nazi rise to power, the treatment of Jews during the time period their movements to death camps or labor camps, etc. and then the end of the war, when the Allied forces finally accomplished the job, albeit far too late. There is a very interesting segment on Americas perception of the Holocaust as it was happening and their role before entering the war. This is available via listening phones attached to TV monitors. It is time consuming, interesting, and altogether shameful that more was not done to help the Jewish people. Askew from the Holocaust exhibition is a general exhibit on genocides that have taken place and that are currently taking place. It's worth a visit. Carve out a good, firm, three hours of your day to dedicate to this museum. It is awfully cold inside from my perspective and I immediately regretted my choice to wear shorts. The museum says that there is no rerentry, but we got hungry after the fourth floor and went outside to the HMM Caf, and were let back in upon request would not recommend because the best way to get to the third floor is by going through the fourth floor exhibition again." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg28970d103441r285877281UnitedStatesHolocaustMemorialMuseumWashingtonDCDistrictofColumbia.html,Date of experience: May 2015,United States,District of Columbia DC,Washington DC,"Atlanta, Georgia",Every one should visit,"Wow, this was a tough museum to go aroundnot only due to the crowds, but it's not a lot of fun due to the subject matter. Very sobering. The museum is weirdly laid out and one has to have a ticket to actually visit the Holocaust displays and timeline. I wish this was in a bigger and better building because it was very crowded hence why it is ticketed. Considering they mainly have only photographs to depict what happened it was very good. It was disappointing to see so many teenagers just flitting past many of the displaysprobably desensitized to the graphic images and horror of it all due to modern media and special effects that depict much worse today! After the war the surviving Nazi leaders were put on trial and claimed they did nothing wrong because they were merely following the laws of their land. This is one of the saddest testimonies to mankind's evil when he departs from God's moral laws the Creator of man and does what is right in his own eyes. Human beings were harvested and processed their remains used for the German war effort, as if only animals, and this was based upon Hitler's evolutionary ideas of racial purity.

Vietnam war was in full swing, students were protesting on every university campus, the protesters were shouting 'hey, hey, hey LBJ, how many kids have you killed today', every evening in front of the WH, LBJ realized that he could not win the war and had no way to extricate us, Civil rights marches were going on all over the south and the Southern whites were quite upset with LBJ's civil rights and racial equality business. Two Kennedy's and MLK got assassinated. It was a period of extreme turmoil, but the nation pulled through it and survived. That made me less depressed about the current state of affairs and brought about the hope that when it is all over, the stars and stripes will still be flying proudly on the shinning hill. By comparison, things today, as bad as they are, are not quite bad enough to lose hope.

There is a balanced view of how he is often portrayed A bully on a strategic tirade, a just man on a civil rights quest to level the playing field of opportunities for the poor and disenfranchised racial minorities. The constantly repeating film similarly depicts both sides of this intriguing historical figure, as do the opportunities to hear his voice in fascinating ways, including telephones. Similarly, the exhibit portrays a time in our history when the seams were being ripped open and for those of us who lived through it, it accurately and viscerally recalls that time of civil unrest and civilian involvement, war and peace rallies, social movements and selfrealization, youthful hope and shattered dreams JFK assassination.

Everyone was having a good time drinking and dancing until we entered the lake for the second time that evening. Besides myself, my brother and a small group of girls, everyone on the boat were predominantly white. The same security guard that dismissed me and my wife in the beginning of the night, made my brother exit the inside of the boat to tell him that he was told that my brother had dope and he was smoking it on the dance floor. My brother is a large Mexican man who also had on a flat brim White Sox hat. After, my brother told the guard, which we later found out was a previous police officer, that he does not do drugs, the guard made my brother empty all of his pockets and patted him down. Meanwhile, on the inside of the boat, the dance floor smelled of marijuana. I attempted to approach my brother and the guard to advise that someone is smoking inside while my brother was OUTSIDE, the guard began to scream into my face. Even after my brothers pockets were emptied, he was standing outside and the dance floor still smelled of marijuana, the guard still did not believe my brother. This is 100 racial profiling. Once we told the guard that is was racial profiling, he began to scream in both of our faces that he was not racist. For how fast this man escalated his emotions, Im assuming this is not the first time he has been called that. Not only did he racially profile me and my brother, he then continued to lose all control of his emotions, the atmosphere of the boat and other people on the boat who began to scream and physically fight. On Monday, we called to speak with the owner of the boat. It was stated that he was onboard Saturday night and was screaming in my face, as well as others, calling us fat and racist btches.

However, upon entering the theatre, I felt instantly transported to the dusty, dirty and crowded streets of warm Madrid, Spanish guitar playing rapidly, welcoming the audience to sit closely and drink in the sense of sun bleached wood and clutter provided by the sumptuous set design of Maria Kalamara.In the story, three very different and ethnically diverse men plot and attempt to have a video of what sounds like an hilarious bicycle accident involving one of them shown nationwide on a Television clip show. As they discuss daily life, plans for the future, and plans for the video, the racial tension and ongoing anger between each character becomes apparent and by the end of the story, personal identity has become the only thing that the characters have left to pick on. Although it begins humorously and builds to some very active and funny moments, the writing of the play flawlessly deepens its self to become something entirely serious in its message, both meaningful and clear. The use of space throughout Bazaar is fantastic. The whole stage is transformed by the opening or closing of a wooden shutter, the moving of boxes and tires, or by a very slick rotation of the central set piece which gives the show pace and a sense of time. Christopher Neels opens the show strongly as Anton, a brash but seemingly very clumsy man who swaggers around the city like he is the Don. During his interaction with Hassan played by Pezhmaan Alinia, a Moroccan Muslim immigrant shop owner, we see his character clearly demonstrate the depths that he will go to make a peseta or two. Funny, charismatic and full of energy, Christopher Neels presents the right angle of Anton, he is the kind of man you love to hate!Hassan was perhaps the most difficult character to understand. Without revealing too much of the story, he is seemingly very unhappy with the way he is treated in Spain, he dislikes the Spanish people and their values, but he shrugs away from dwelling on his home or past in an attempt to move on from something. But what Pezhmaan Alinia works hard to bring understanding to Hassan, but unfortunately the situations that the character finds himself in are so much a private battle that at times it was infuriating as an audience member to see him leave the action of the stage without explaining how he felt. Rashid, played honestly by Matija Vlatkovic is the voice of reason between the two cultures. He manages to bring a sense of togetherness, a sense of trust in which the other characters can reveal their true thoughts on the identity crisis which runs as a strong current throughout the show. Although he is not perfect and he uses his own identity for other purposes, he is the most relatable of the three men. He is seeing the situation through the eyes of someone who may not know what he wants to do with his life, but has a clear understanding of who he is. Matija Vlatkovic does a very good job of presenting Rashids young but routed sense of self to the situation he finds himself in. The production, although dutifully performed and beautifully crafted on stage, suffers from the sheer fact that the play was not written for a British audience. There were many moments that on later reflection should have been funny or moving or profound, but unclear of how to react, the audience made no response. The piece feels like it has been lost in translation and the culture that it was written for is not a prevalent culture in young London. Bazaar was unfortunately a little bizarre to me and to other members of the audience who struggled to find a connection to the show. I feel I need an understanding of what sort of real racial tensions exist within Spanish culture, to appreciate the severity with which certain things happen within the play." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg34948d13839698r567684064ChesserIslandHomesteadBoardwalkFolkstonGeorgia.html,Date of experience: March 2018,United States,Georgia GA,Folkston,unknown,Chesser Island Homestead Boardwalk and Owls Roost: YES!,"Before Gregory Peck was Atticus Finch in the film TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, he was the father in another film, THE YEARLING.

Walk around the top of the Fort that's free and you see the city you can access it from the north side of the Fort. Look at the most fantastic art works at the Constitutional Court including the most magnificent Marlene Dumas.With your R65.00 you can see inside all three prisons the fort was a prison too and be absolutely horrified with the conditions that people were held in up until the 1980s by all accounts the modern prisons in South Africa are not any great shakes either however there is no discrimination based on face, just money. The old black men's prison is very grim visiting especially the isolation cells at the north side of the prison. Look out for a very interesting exhibition on Gandhi as well as one in the Fort on Mandela both famous prisoners. The women's prison is very well presented and explained including the racial humiliation of black women.There is a lot of walking so be prepared with good shoes and there is only one cafe in the fort so bring water if the day is hot.

It was very depressing in the jail itself, particularly the part where the videos were being played in loop in the adjacent cells each depicting the life / pain of the person who stayed there. It showed that love was also considered to be a crime. From people being jailed for holding hands with a person from another race to having gone through prosecution for having an affair interracial mixing was not allowed at all. Also, marriages were only approved / acknowledged if married in a church. Hindu weddings were considered illegal as per one pic. Going from one cell to other left one with such a sad feeling.The men's jail gave a stark reminder of the discrimination followed even behind bars. From the overcrowded cells, to the cold shower stalls, from the ""blanket art"" competition to get a little more preference in jail, to the torture cells with their torture equipment, from the food ration for whites, colored and black people to the pictures abounding with severe atrocities, all was a throw back to the past. Number 4 was where they kept hardened criminals as well as political prisoners perhaps to affront them. Even Gandhiji had stayed in Number 4, himself being a political prisoner for having started the Satyagrah from there. Thus the seeds of Indian Independence were laid perhaps in Number 4. In the center was the spot where they made the prisoners sing by force to entice them to get a little relief from their punishments. The Constitutional Court was the brightest part of this visit. It had an exquisite and huge wooden door about 9 m in height. On both sides of the door, 27 rights enlisted in the South African Constitution are written in 27 languages spoken or sign as used in South Africa. This shows a remarkable show of unity solidarity in the country. A part of the old jail was pulled down to build the walls of the Constitutional Court and the Great Steps leading away from it. Again, symbolizing the South African sensitivity to give importance to the past as the way for the future is carved out.

She is learning about it at school and I thought a field trip would be appropriate. I knew it would be a bit heavy and powerful, so I planned a boat ride on the Ohio for the afternoon.I wasn't prepared for the impact the museum would have on me. It was devastating to learn how little I had understood about the slave trade and the terrible illtreatment of slaves, men, women, and children. We have a lot to learn and to face about ourselves and our society. My daughter pointed out that only three or four of the first fifteen presidents were not slave owners. The reconstructed slave pen brought tears to my eyes and I couldn't look at anyone else for a time. The Rosa Parks virtual reality experience, the Harriet Tubman movie, these and other exhibits are well presented. The walls have art. there is sculpture and exhibits about different aspects of the slave trade. The underground railroad exhibit brought home the fact of how few of the citizens stood out against slavery and that it was not tidily confined to the Southern states.My daughter took it all in stride better than I could have expected and she seemed to be familiar with much of the history. The modernday slavery exhibit is gutwrenching. But it is a mustvisitsection of the museum.Finally, the implicit bias area was also extremely interesting and informative.

We need to learn more if we are to face and be rid of this terrible history and its aftereffects that still tear us apart.The building itself is beautiful, stark and dwarfing. The covered parking is convenient, plentiful and inexpensive in the lot below the buildings. Street parking was all taken before 11 am when the building opens. There are clean restrooms and plenty of places to eat nearby. I took some pictures but I felt I was violating a temple to those who suffered and are remembered here.Take your children and visit.

Our experiences were distinctly different.The BadOur first experience with the waterpark was not good. We arrived about 6pm and prepared to have fun for three hours or so. In that time, my daughter and several guests were yelled at by other guests for playing water basketball in the water basketball section of the park. A young man pushed one of our guests off the pool stairs because he was in a hurry. An ethnic friend we brought was called a racial slur. To top it off, a father and son were playing highspeed dodgeball in the hot tub so highspeed that the ball was slamming off the fake rocks and hitting the ceiling.We complained to the lifeguard about the dodgeball hot tub is supposed to be a 'no horseplay' zone and after a very weak request, the lifeguard pointedly ignored both the father/son and us as the dodgeball continued. Our issue about it being inappropriate for other guests to make racial slurs or police our kids' behavior was ignored altogether. We ended up having to be on top of the kids to ensure that they got a fair shake at slides, balls, and general fun. Needless to say, we were disappointed.In the morning, however, new lifeguards were in place. They whistled infractions, kept an eye on the younger guests, and made for a completely different experience. My same kids who supposedly were problems and/or had problems the night before were now just fine. They even played basketball with some of the kids who'd been an issue the night before. On a separate visit, we again encountered active, working lifeguards and had a reasonably pleasant experience.The main problem with the waterpark is that it is very small bathers are almost on top of each other. If everyone behaves courteously, either by force of will or by direction of the staff, everyone can have a good time. The problem comes when the staff is not paying attention these water features then become much too close for comfort. I won't teach my kids to return rude behavior with more rude behavior and with guests packed in like sardines, there is no where to go when things get edgy." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg58560d3387225r220379021LeavenworthSummerTheaterLeavenworthWashington.html,Date of experience: August 2014,United States,Washington WA,Leavenworth,"Los Angeles, California",Horribly offensive and racially insensitive performance,"I attended an indoor performance of the ""Drowsy Chaperone"" and walked out.

I recommend it to everyone, including my family members, some of whom lived through the racial strife of the 1960s and afterwards, and some who never lived in a racially segregated and tense America.I breezed through the museum with ease, enjoying all of the displays and all of the exhibits.Yes the historical slave trade exhibits are buried underground and it's dark and some stuff is hard to read other tripadvisor friends already told you that. Despite the poor lighting, the material was ""enlightening"" for me.The descriptions of attempts at family life preservations of traditions and rituals and then at the disruptions and separations forced and voluntary were especially poignant similar themes that I know from my family, cultural religious and Jewish national history we have all seen dark days it is meaningful and no coincidence to me that the National Holocaust Memorial is visible from this building and anchors the opposite side of our National Mall, with the monument to our nation's founder and first president there between the two: symbols of the liberty and freedom we are all guaranteed here.But I digress...I learned a lot about the role of the blacks fighting on the Union side during the bloody American Civil War. Sad to say that despite being a history buff and learning all this stuff in public schools in the 1960s and 1970s and I didn't learn too much about this: we learned about Harriet Tubman and Uncle Tom's Cabin and that was it. Seeing an original teepee type tent where 25 black Union soldiers all slept together was amazing... and sobering.I skipped much of the Reconstructionera history until the 1920's, times that my grandparents experienced in this country.It was meaningful for me seeing and viewing evidences of segregation from the 1940s and 1950s: not that I remember it personally, but it was within reach of lifetime and therefore somewhat ""familiar"" and not foreign.The 1960s was a hot time for racial relations in the United States I remember living through and seeing and experiencing much of what is exhibited you yourself already know or will learn the details when you visit; to see one's life experiences behind glass in a museum is both exhilarating... and sobering...The 1970s and 1980s, even though I lived through them in the US, were less emotionally provoking for me.Upstairs is the arts ,and I went straight for the Motown memorabilia, especially the Temptations just about nothing, and when I asked the guard why, he didn't know and Stevie Wonder a video spin on a thin type of canvas There are clothes and costumes of James Brown and of Michael Jackson. Oh and there is Louis Armstrong's trumpet now that was fantastic my daughter was shocked when I explained that in the 1950s and early 1960s, he toured the country as a national headline performer but had to sit in the back of the bus and sleep in a different hotel... at least that's what I heard.Anyway: without a doubt a great and worthwhile and free museum... so if you've read up to this point, you are certainly now my tripadvisor friend, so look at all of my photos, like this review, and follow meYour pal.Buc." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg28970d10895065r620033854NationalMuseumofAfricanAmericanHistoryandCultureWashingtonDCDistricto.html,Date of experience: September 2018,United States,District of Columbia DC,Washington DC,"Wauwatosa, Wisconsin",Seriously need a FULL day or two!,"After failing at getting a same day pass last Easter, was lucky the museum was trying ""first come, first serve"" weekdays!

Enjoy the Oprah exhibit with costumes, shoes, and video of her tv show. I found the layout cumbersome. You are forced to go by elevator to the very bottom floor and then walk the ramps a mile and a half back to the 3rd level where you enter the museum. This would be fine if there were more benches to accomodate those who need to go more slowly or need to rest. We were there from 10 to 5 and never made it to the upper floors of the museum. You could do all the floors, but to read and begin to absorb all they offer, it takes a while. Another thing you won't like is that once in, there is no leaving for a meal and coming back. The museum restaurant is delicious, but pricey. It's divided into 4 stations, Comfort, Creole, Barbecue, and Fish, so there's something for everyone, including yummy desserts. Meals are about 15 dollars. Desserts were around 5 dollars. If you're bringing a family, bring snacks and be prepared to share meals at the the restaurant. It is difficult to convey what a thoughtful, emotionally daunting, even wrenching experience. Feel free to photograh everywhere except Emmett Till's exhibit. You take out your phone, you're escorted out.The folks in charge of the information and getting you around the museum are knowledgable and professional.

Obnoxious staff and no chance of getting in,"I thought long and hard whether to post this review but then decided that I really value TripAdvisor and the honest opinions of contributors who have helped me make informed decisions about places to visit so the least I can do is honestly relate my experiences trying visit this museum. To anyone reading this review please dont assume any intent from the title of this review. My wife and I are liberal people with deep concerns about the current state of the racial divide in America. I am white and she is Hispanic and we both have a genuine interest in African American history and culture and genuinely wanted to visit this museum to build our knowledge and seek to understand what we can do to contribute to improving the racial situation currently existing in the USA. Having gone to the Smithsonian Natural History and Air and Space Museums and finding that they were free to enter we decided to try and visit the African American History and Culture Museum too. Even if it wasnt free we were happy to pay whatever the entry fee might be. We arrived midafternoon and were told that we would not be allowed entry since we hadnt either obtained advance tickets via the website at 6:00am that morning, or option 2, had waited by the orange rock the obnoxious woman at the entrance vaguely waved her arm in the direction of the grassy area outside the museum as she said this at 1:00pm that afternoon. We could see through the windows that the museum was not busy and since we very much wanted to visit the museum and had no plan B at that time decided to wait in the shade while we decided what to do next. During that 20 minute period we noticed the same woman turn away 38 other people all of whom were nonblack but allow in 6 African Americans who, in the spirit of honesty, may well have had tickets. This situation has got to be resolved though. We never had another opportunity to visit the museum but either the logistics for obtaining entry, or the attitude of the staff outside the front doors needs to be changed. Just imagine the furor if the situation was reversed and a white person was arbitrarily preventing the entrance of black people to a national museum but allowing white people entry. By preventing access to people who genuinely are interested in the African American history and culture as a means to educate themselves, this staff member and the logistics of the museum are contributing to the issue rather than the solution of a major problem in American right now." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg28970d10895065r516189465NationalMuseumofAfricanAmericanHistoryandCultureWashingtonDCDistricto.html,Date of experience: July 2017,United States,District of Columbia DC,Washington DC,"Detroit, Michigan",Multigenerational family trip to DC,"This museum is amazing.

Otherwise, a three because of the curation.I and my wife, love history, love museums, know more on average about African American history and less than someone who has spent any time studying the topic.What is great about the museumMost people begin on level one the building design is very powerful, seven stories, from the bowels of a slave ship metaphorically speaking, not in display to the top level of culture, the arts, and so on. This level and the entire exhibit on slavery is not even close to what it cold have been. It is sanitized; distant; and in some cases factually inaccurate. The curators have created a narrative fair enough but that narrative obscures too much real and interesting history. I could not find, for example, any mention of the Somerset case look it up please I may have missed it and even if it was there that I missed it means the curators were focused on narrative not real education or history. I could quibble more another example when the museum presents the critical role of Christianity, the curation states slave owners wanted their slaves to become Christian them and so on. Well, n many places, the opposite of the truth in South Caroina, it was against the law for slaves to attend churches and instead they want to ""praise houses."" OK, I am a nerd.That said, as you rise to the post civil war period, and then on to the 20th century, the museum just gets better, so much so my wife and I are going back as we ran out of time. Form music to sports to eduction to theater it was very, very interesting and the section on protest and cicil rights reminded us how ugly os many things were in OUR COUNTRY not a foreign country when we were growing up.Best things large screens with videos; fabulous photography beginning around the civil war time period' the exhibits on the military service and post World War II America. And the visitors three quarters of the visitors on the day we were there were African American, this is their place, and you see on the animated faces of the grandmothers and the children how important this place is, how proud they are, and how some are shocked at the terrible treatment their forefathers suffered through. The museum, for them is playing a vital role in replacing family oral history that is fading if not gone altogether. Oops, almost forgot very good cafeteria, very attentive and helpful staff as with all Smithsonian musuems.Worst things a narrative that at times obscures critical parts of history and, worse, ignores the role of white people. Yes I am white this is not about that. How can you set up a music room rooms without Elvis, it was Elvis who brought black music into mainstream American culture How can you present exhibit after exhibit on the fight for racial equality without mentioning or if they were there, I missed it dead white civil rights workers or the black/Jewish coalitions in major cities that led the fight for civil rights, or the joint organized labor/black cil rights effortsThese are more than quibbles the narrative is flawed but the important thing is to go visit, it is a MUST place to go in DC.One last point this museum is the only tourist attraction in any major city I have been two where there were no Chines tour groups and few Chinese tourists.

She is charismatic, witty, approachable, and endlessly entertaining. I'm not into horror, ghost stories, or anything having to do with death, but Denise's cemetery tour gave me the historic, religious, racial, and socioeconomic context to better understand New Orleans on my first visit.The tour lasted 90 minutes and cost 20, plus tip.

There was another African American themed tour going on at the same time as ours given by a Caucasian woman. It made no sense whatsoever to us. If you want the factsgo to the source. We are a middleaged white couple from the North. I was born after segregation, Martin Luther King, Jr., etc.. It's always been difficult to understand racial tension. I couldn't care less about the color of your skin. Denise helped me to understand why it still exists. I felt like I could ask any question without judgment and get an honest answer. She gave such a thorough history of the music, religion. culture, and burial practices.

The factory became an internment camp during WW2.In around 1942, approximately 2000 people were transported from Camp des Milles to Drancy before being sent to their death in Auschwitz. The majority of those taken away were Jews, generally French citizens. Other people were also transported.

The band A Perfect Circle had their concert that day, and I had been looking forward to this concert for half a year. It cost me 106.55 for two tickets, and was also intended to be a birthday gift to my boyfriend, and this concert was supposed to be a fun, celebratory day. It was supposed to be one of the highlights of 2018.We arrived between 5 and 6 hours early in order to make sure we got a good position in the venue at the front. This band is extremely popular, so we had to plan well ahead and cancel other daytime arrangements. We were standing/sitting for many hours in line, patiently waiting for the doors to open, and because we were excited about the upcoming concert, we were of course okay with this. The point of arriving early was so that we could smoothly be the first to go through the bag checks and secure a good spot since it was a standing concert, which is important considering the expensive tickets.However, once the doors opened my entire day took a turn for the worse. Once I reached the security staff, a particularly hostile female member of staff asked me to open my backpack. I politely complied and showed her the contents, which was nothing unusual Antibacterial hand wipes, earplugs, keys to my flat, my wallet, and an umbrella since it was forecasted to rain. The lady began to angrily harass me about every single item in my backpack, aggressively asking me about the purpose of each of them. It was extremely uncomfortable, and even though I calmly explained what they were, she kept holding me back while other concert goers started slipping by me. These other people arrived hours later than me, and still managed to get into the venue before me.The lady told me to open my backpack a total of four times, even though she had already gone through it. It felt humiliating and embarrassing to be treated so suspiciously in front of everyone. I am originally from a Middle Eastern country, and it felt as if I was singled out because of my race by this staff member. She treated me like a suspected radicalised islamist at an airport, interrogating me about completely innocent and normal items in my backpack. Other people who also brought backpacks with many items, were treated completely normally and walked past me in the dozens. My boyfriend had to try his best to secure a spot for me as I was being treated like a criminal by the staff. I was shocked at the fact that I had to explain what my intentions were taking simply household items like an umbrella and wet tissues with me. Nobody would ever accept this kind of treatment, and I certainly will not either.I can only call this by what it is racial discrimination. There is nothing more humiliating than paying a lot of money, waiting for half a year, spending 6 hours in line expecting to enjoy a great evening, only to be publicly harassed by the staff as everyone else is easily let through. In the end I did not find a good spot in the venue to stand, even though this ideally should never have been an issue. It is completely unacceptable that I should be treated with suspicion simply because of my skin colour, and that I am forced to desperately try to reason with a racist staff member who seem to not accept that I come with the intention of enjoying my favourite band. It was so distressing to me that it has taken a week for me to gather the courage to speak out about this. I have never been treated so unfairly in any public place before, and I was being completely reasonable and polite towards her, displaying only good behaviour. I was held back for so long that at one point, I pleaded with her to keep my backpack so that I could get past her.Even worse, this experience has completely soured my relationship with O2 Academy Brixton. I can not even listen to A Perfect Circle anymore without being reminded of this horrible treatment I was subjected to. This is completely the fault of the staff member, and the venue who hired her. I sent a complaint email to the venue itself, which I received no response. This is extremely unacceptable.The venue ruined what was supposed to be one of the best days of 2018, and made it one of the worst instead" -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg499442d8284303r631274145CanaldelaPerlaTorreonNorthernMexico.html,Date of experience: May 2018,Mexico,Northern Mexico,Coahuila,"Torreon, Mexico",Best hideout from the HEAT,"During hot summer days, which in this part of Mxico goes almost year round it is a great way to walk the city belly under.

Enjoy it for what it is.,"Sonnenland park is not Disney World. But if you go in with realistic expectations you can still have a great time. You are in Eastern Germany, and you will immediately see that there are still some lingering differences between the East and the West. Without getting into geopolitics of employment, prosperity, wage gaps, etc., there are still some fun differences in fashion, speech, and tourism. You will see elderly ladies with blue, purple, or pink hair. Good luck understanding Schsisch if you are not a native German speaker. If you are an Englishspeaking tourist, you may be the only one here. Embrace this folks, and enjoy this diversity, because there is not a lot of racial or national diversity in the park, as the park is a reflection of the region. What you will find are good, humble, nonpretentious people flocking to Sonnenland. I know a little bit about them as I married one of them 15 years ago. While none of my inlaws have purple hair, I do understand a little about why the Easterners are keen to differentiate themselves from their western compatriots. Let's all be different, together! Here you will see all those efforts on full display.As for the park, it's big and green and if you get lucky, sunny. There are several rides for kids of all ages, there's a lake where everyone can have fun, but only little kids can swim naked. There's a Ferris wheel and a tractor ride which circumnavigates the park introducing you to all sorts of wildlife, some of the fourlegged variety and some on two.You can bring you own food or buy it in the park. They supply the grills; you bring the brats and the charcoal. You can even bring in coolers on wagons filled to the brim with your own beer. Find me another park that will let you do that. In other words, you are pretty much free to do whatever you want. In Eastern Germany. Go figure.If you pay attention, you will soon notice that this park almost runs itself. The patrons follow the rules, obey the queues, and don't get out of hand. There are very few people working the park so good luck finding help if you need it. Eastern Germans don't need someone to tell them to follow the rules; they will do so of their own accord.And did I mention that the prices are reasonable Once you've paid the entrance fee, you won't have to open your wallet again if you don't want to, so you can have a great day without going broke at Sonnenland.

Meditations were solid. But, I'm still processing what my more recent April 2019 experience means. I sat in a meditation led by Phillip Moffitt called Sustaining as Care Provider. There were 200 people in the room, 3 of whom presented as people of color. I brought this issue of inequity up to the front desk. I was told the primary reason for this is that people choose to sit with teachers ""that look like them."" When I began to comment of some of the barriers, other than racial profiling, that Spirit Rock has some influence over e.g. a scentfree policy, outreach methods, encouraging diversity through hiring and that people of color tend to be overrepresented in care provider positions and could greatly benefit from access to this resource, she cited that lack of public transit and/or the distance from Oakland were other contributing factors. These explanations, offered as finalities, seem harbored in troublesome stereotypes about people of color. I implore Spirit Rock, and Phillip Moffitt, to examine the ways in which they create a space that is not inviting, accessible to, or inclusive of nonwhite consumers. While the front desk listed a number of efforts currently being undertaken to serve more diverse clients, the statements made above indicate a greater need to understand the causes behind their homogenous clientele and to acknowledge the acceptance that folks gravitate to their own races upholds separatism, not dismantle it." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg294265d8820412r651361834RiverHongbaoSingapore.html,Date of experience: February 2019,Asia,Singapore,Singapore,"Singapore, Singapore",Spectacular fireworks display,"I am a local Singaporean and coming to age 60 but sad to say that this was my very first visit to River Hongbao. I was lucky to be given a complimentary entrance ticket by my grassroots committee but with a condition to lead 2 buses of grassroots leaders and residents to River Hongbao. I was really a green horn and don't even know how River Hongbao looks like and now bringing groups of residents to this place. Nevertheless, the bus drivers alighted us near the entrance of The Float @ Marina Bay where the River Hongbao is located and we walked our way in. This Float at Marina Bay is also the venue where our National Day Parades were held annually for the past number of years. The whole Float area is barricaded and security checks are conducted at the various entrance points. We went through baggage manual inspection to ensure no offensive weapons or explosive devices are brought into the float area. The whole Float is subdivided into the various areas:a Food Streetb Amusement Areasc Happiness of Spring timesd Harbor Home Exhibitione Trade Stallsf Main entrance archg Entrance walkwayh Main Performance stageThere were many lantern sculptures depicting the Samsui women, the God of Fortune, the Wishing Fountain, our Garden Homes, Abundance Prosperity, the Charms of Fortune, Happiness of Springtime, the 12 Zodiac animals etc. I noticed there was a long queue at a stall at the Food Street selling fried crispy vegetable puff. One piece cost 4/ but compared to the rest of the snacks sold at the Food Street, this puff looks more stomach filling and delicious. To me, the exhibition on the history of our Singapore River meant more for the tourists. I walked around and took some photos of the lantern sculptures. I found them beautifully made. We easily found our seats at the yellow sector after showing our tickets to the volunteers who guard the entrance. The seats are opened to the public after 7.45 pm if they do not have an entrance ticket. It was breezing cool and windy if you went up and select a seat at a higher level as you are rewarded with a breathtaking panoramic view of a metropolis city. It was a pleasure sitting and watching the performances at the stage through the 3 LED screens available. As dusk set in, the whole float turned so sparkling beautiful and glistening with golden lights as the lighted lantern sculptures glow under the dark sky.The cultural stage performances include multiracial Malay and Indian dances. There seem to be disproportionately more martial arts performances. They would be captivating if performance are from the Shaolin masters and not the amateur children so the martial art performances seem lack the wow' factor. There should be more singers rather than dance, martial arts and musical instruments performances. The most spectacular content is the firework display. Many came deliberately to watch this firework shows. We also delayed our departure time to watch the 10 pm last firework display by the Chinese firework team. Indeed for the 10 to 15 mins duration of firework display, we were mesmerized while our heart pound harder on every blast of the firework that erupted into attractive patterns on the backdrop of the dark sky. Marvelous and awesome! As the crowd dispersed, we were squeezed like sardines through the exit points. We never realized that four of our residents lost their way during the exit. We waited for them but they seem went to the wrong direction and have to take MRT home. Luckily, Singapore isn't that big. Despite this little hiccup, I think this trip was worthwhile at least witnessing right in front of my own eyes the spectacular firework display." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg55764d270349r510739840CampBenMcCullochDriftwoodTexas.html,Date of experience: June 2017,United States,Texas TX,Driftwood,"Driftwood, Texas",Site of what is now the Driftwood Reunion,"Well, the first time I went to what is really the CBM Confederate Reunion I wasn't sure what to expect.

Years ago there was a really popular drama series on local freetoair TV covering this culture, but as months and years pass the culture dies down.The Intan seems to be just an ordinary house on the outside, but upon entering you observe how much of a cultural sanctuary it is. Singapore is a multireligious, multiracial and multicultural society. I have lived in Singapore all my life 22 years, yet there comes an epiphany somewhere through the tour of the place; you'll see that many items in the house are testimony to the point that the Peranakan culture transcends, or is an exemplary form of, the Singaporean culture in certain ways. The cultures of Singapore, like many other countries out there, are merely where different cultures draw the line between each other and mostly do not cross the line. Indians in Little India, Chinese in Chinatown. It's hardly true in the 21st century but the fact that these separate towns are where the separate races congregate shows the inherent separation of the different cultural heritages.The Peranakan are different.One of my groupmates tried comparing the cases of coexistence of separate cultures between Peranakan and the global scenarios today, to see if we knew why the Peranakans coexisted across separate cultures so well. The host didn't have an answer, but after walking around the house and observing its artifacts, I believe I have an answer.The Peranakan culture is a synthesis of cultures that is built by marriage and love,and the cultural cohabitation today, built by merely geographical necessitations upon a general population can therefore not compare to it." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg294265d7791180r326135124TheIntanSingapore.html,Date of experience: October 2015,Asia,Singapore,Singapore,"Singapore, Singapore",A Day Out at The Intan!,Great to learn about Singapore's Peranakan heritage considering that Singapore is such a vibrant and multiracial society.

There is much more to Singapore than caning, chewing gum, gleaming skyscrapers and racial quotas; there is the history of some of the people who first came here and established the communities that grew up into this modern country. The Peranakan culture is an interesting story of blended cultures and unique assimilation and Alvin Yapp does an incredible job of weaving that history with personal stories, accumulated artifacts and his own wit and humor. I haven't been to any other Peranakan museum, so I can't compare, but this is a small collection that stands out due to the passion of it's owner and the help of his family and friends to keep it running. It is not open to the general public, you have to arrange a tour in advance, but you can arrange that tour around tea time to enjoy local snacks as well. You can also plan a dinner as my friends did and have an evening of history and storytelling.If you have friends visiting and only have time to do one thing, take them to the Marina Bay area and take the standard touristy photos, time for more, arrange to bring them here to learn about Singapore history.FYI this is NOT suitable for children, many artifacts precariously balanced on stairs and ledges just waiting to be knocked over.

It is as if his involvement in the military oppression of the communist opposition never happened, but then this was very much an undertaking by the British army. His NEP New Economic Policy is given a lot of attention, but the controversial aspects of it a racial policy to favor the Malays Bumiputra are downplayed.

Philly has an abundance of theaters for plays and musicals, concert halls and overall entertainment venues but most start at 60pp for any show. That being said, the TLA has little amenities and few updates to its building, interior and exterior. So if you fancy a place that you can have an expansive liquor selection, get a wonderful glass of wine or have a marble bathroom this is nowhere near for you. Negatives: The bathrooms are microscopic and often do not even have soap in the dispensers, their is almost always ""water"" on the floor in them, and the entire feel of the place is a bit grungy like it could use a reallllly good steam cleaning from top to bottom, side to side. Also, its 8 for a beer, and their are only about 45 beers to choose from Yards, Yuengling, etc. Positives: Completely relaxed vibe, they have chill bartenders and cocktail waitresses, loftstyle viewing from upstairs, 21 only section next to the bar on the first floor and a large standonly front row stage area. So whether you want to kick it on a stool and sip on some beer listening to your favorite bands, headbang and dance with up close and personal front row band action or if you want to overlook the crowd and get an on top of you view of the bands...the TLA has all of it.

See my picture.The permanent exhibits are also interesting, featuring fine examples of preColumbian art many objects are delightfully anthropomorphic, a variety of historical artifacts that do a good job of telling Mexico's history in all its glory and tragedy, and a display of historical paintings depicting the interesting and then thought to be ""scientific"" notions of ""castes"" or racial mixes. Properly understood now to be examples of pseudoscience, they nevertheless offer insights into Mexican identity.

The visit, convenient by S Bahn was well worth it the site is striking for the well preserved Olympic venues including swimming track and field,soccer and several other competitions. Although the Nazis turned the games into a propaganda festival for the regime, the games were actually awarded to Berlin before they took power. To give the world a false impression, the Hitler gangsters removed anti Semitic signs, newspapers and overt militaristic symbols from the Berlin area to hide the regimes murderous core. It is important to note they operated a horrendous concentration camp just miles from the site.It is important this be kept in mind when one visits the site where many modern Olympic rituals were first used. The stadium has undergone interior renovation to make it a comfortable, exciting venue for sports and music concerts. The architectural changes enhance rather than detract from the original stadium, softening the harsh Nazi era interior. Restaurants are very good, seats are comfortable.The American military used the facilities following World War 2 .The entrance and ticket area is staffed by friendly people who are multilingual. A brief film about the site is multilingual as well, the gift shop offers tasteful items related to both the history of the site as well as the soccer team currently playing games in the stadium. A walk around the grounds is a pleasant experience. Signage is excellent.The highlight for me was seeing Jesse Owens name chiseled in 1936into the large list of winners at the Western entrance, prominently reminding us of his triumph that overshadowed Nazi ridiculous racial theories about the superiority of what they called the arayan race, a concoction of racist mumbo jumbo.You will not run into neoNazis on the grounds. The 1936 site has become a symbol of their monstrous defeat and the emergence of a truly democratic Germany from that horrendous nightmare into the postwar era. That said, it is critical that we never forget this was the site of games staged by perhaps the most evil regime of the modern era." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg187323d242761r135622452OlympiastadionBerlinBerlin.html,Date of experience: July 2012,Europe,Germany,Berlin,"SouthendonSea, United Kingdom",Olympic Monument,"I have the delight of being the other half of an Olympic groupie....a visit to Berlin would not have been complete without coming here as if I had a choice...It is quite magnificent, ignoring the Nazi origins and focusing on the architecture alone you see a magnificent edifice and monument to the Olympic ideal.

Our room needed additional surcharge of RM300... Not a small amount. Upon reaching there, we were excited, but was cut short by insufficient car parks. Dropped a few family members to check in, the queue was extremely long. Only 2 counters were operational. What is the purpose of having surcharge We have been waiting for 2 hours just for checking in. Lobby area was overcrowded. Not systematic at all. People are smoking just by the lobby's entrance.. which is choking the internal queuing area when the door kept open and close continuously. This is Malaysia where smoking regulations is not really enforced. Once we checked in, we were told to wait till 3pm for occupying our room.. so we decided to go to the water park. It is overcrowded.. people everywhere... the floor always in wet condition.. although there was a worker kept mopping the floor. The locals are not really following park dressing code.. non swimsuit can dip into the water.. long pants, long sleeves, track suit, hijab.. as long as you name it, you will see it there. I am not racist, but please follow the attire code, as multi racial folks are visiting the are as well.. they will feel uncomfortable as well. Again, people are smoking openly in the recreational park. Even a resort can't restrict non smoking regulation. Clearly there are going for money but not quality. I eventually giving up to play in the water park as the water is not clear... We were heading to the room..one of the elevator is not working.. walkway is dark... Side wall lamp cover is broken.. young boys or girls can get electrocuted easily. Room lock not working.. even scan the card multiple times, ended up back to lobby again which is a block away... manage to get in, the room is clean, but a lot of equipment is broken... window shades, washroom water hose, intercom etc. No toilet papers provided, no towels and no floor mat bathroom. The sheer curtains is spotty black.. haven't been washed for ages i believe.. Water basin is clog.. unable to flow water.. The worst part is safety, the window lock is broken... even a toddler can push and open the window easily.. luckily they didn't fall off the window, else it will be casualties.. attached photo Damn this hotel.. really frustrates me. Expensive and not worth of staying. Water flow is slow... not good for bath.. Breakfast is sucks.. not worth for extra money paid for extra person. Be smart, bring in your own food, better taste, happier.There are not much attraction nearby.. boring.. remember to bring in water.. a lot of them...I would not recommend this place at all to anyone.. i will never go back to this pale again... forever a bad memory spending my precious quality time in a unworthy resort." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg294265d2341789r447949787SakyaMuniBuddhaGayaTempleSingapore.html,Date of experience: December 2016,Asia,Singapore,Singapore,unknown,A culturally significant place.

Firstly we had arranged, and received reminder emails the day before, to meet outside our hotel at 9.30am. The driver arrived at 9am, and was plainly anxious to leave immediately to go and collect 4 other passengers, so we rushed to get ready and set off about 9.15. We then waited in the bus for 65 minutes for the other passengers before phoning the company asking if we could either start our tour immediately or get a total refund. We left 10 minutes later and picked up the other passengers on the way. The tour description seems to indicate that we would have a leisurely trip and that it could be reasonably flexible to suit our interests. Instead we seemed to have a fixed itinerary and timeframe. Whats more we did not go to the final destination where we were supposed to have been able to go to little fish restaurants on the beach. Instead we were dropped off at our hotel at 2.30 rather dissatisfied and hungry. Other than the crowds, we enjoyed the places and sights we saw. It would have been more interesting, however, if our tour guide could have given us more indepth or informative details about what we saw and encountered. He did give us a fair amount of information but definitely not with the depth or insight weve come to expect from similar tours we have experienced around the world. Whats more right up front he started making derogatory comments about other racial groups which horrified us. In fact both the driver and the guide blamed the other passengers lateness on their ethnicity when their lateness was totally out of their control. I had to tell him we did not appreciate those sorts of comments. This is definitely not acceptable from any tour conductor!

But these riots obviously didn't represent all or most black residents, who realized full well that what happened was wrong; ethnic relations began to improve almost immediately thereafter. In fact, the neighborhood was originally mostly Jewish, but eventually many blacks moved in, especially Caribbean immigrants; during the racially tense 1960's 70's, whites Jews moved out, only the Chabad Hassidim of southern Crown Heights remained. Today the past is distant, there is no reason not to visit Crown Heights. The northern part, which is mostly AfricanAmerican, has recently seen an influx of whites moving in. There is a wealth of interesting architecture; use the architectural guidebook AIA GUIDE TO NEW YORK CITY.

The other focus is the community of croydon, and its local stories, told through selected objects, from the 1800s to the present. All of the local stories really make the community come to life, and it was great to see some focus on what can be harder stories to tell whether because they are painful, or have been hidden in the past, like lgbt stories, racial tensions, or war. There were also interactive elements in this gallery, in addition to the touch screens where all the text and stories were.

Evanston took custody of some of the survivors from the Riot and a few of them spent the rest of their lives here.

No support. No respect.,"We booked Phi Phi Island tour with Rainbow Lanta. This is undoubtedly the worst tour during our stay in Krabi. Why It is neither informative or fun.The moment we got onto the boat, we felt like we were in a China mainlanders tour and to add on to that, the tour guide was not able to communicate with them properly in English or in Chinese, because at every stop, some of the Chinese would come to us asking what they tour guide just said both my boyfriend and I speak mandarin well. But okay, that is inevitable.First stop is a snorkeling spot, which I previously asked Mr Sak whether this is still suitable if we don't want to snorkel or swim at all. He said yes, so I assumed that we could at least walk around on the beach. But turns out that we had to stay in the wobbly and wet longtail boat watching other people having fun in the water, which for me is the least we'd expect. And to note that there is beach area nearby. Okay, I shouldn't have made such assumptions.On our way to Phi Phi Ley, the waves became ridiculously strong and our pathetic long tail boat was dangerously shaking left and right in the sea people were screaming on the boat and water kept splashing into our face. Half way there, I was soaked and my boyfriend could barely open his eyes and he was sitting almost in the center. But that's not the worst! Someone puked... And then another... And then another... And more people asked for plastic bags because the puking smell in the small boat and the continuous wobbly feeling made most of us feel sick. I asked the tour guide whether he has any sea sickness medicine, and he shouted angrily, ""No! No tablets!"" As if it was something that he shouldn't have prepared at all.When we got to the next stop, the tour guide asked us to snorkel or swim again. And this time, many of the people on the boat chose not to as they were feeling too sick to do anything. They all started asking how much longer the ride was and asking us to tell the tour guide that they wanted to go back early as they really couldn't take it anymore. I was expecting the tour guide to propose a contingency plan, yet he didn't have any. He told us that there is one more Caucasian girl who was still in the water and we needed everyone to vote on this decision as long as we didn't get 100 vote, we had to go back by ourselves. During the whole time, we felt like the meat in the sandwich the tour guide kept shouting at us that they needed everyone to vote and he couldn't even get the vote from who were already on boat as he couldn't make himself understood, and the Chinese tourists kept complaining to us about how sick they felt and begging us to convince the tour guide to change itinerary. Finally, the Caucasian girl came back and said she wanted to continue with the trip, so we told the Chinese tourists that this is what she signed up for, and she has the right to continue. They understood and asked whether we could be dropped off at the nearby beach about 20 meters away to take a 30min break, since the next stop maya bay is just nearby in that area, outside is phi phi Ley and inside is maya bay and the Caucasian girl will snorkel there for some time anyways. The tour guide said okay, but warned us that there would be a delay in returning time, which I don't understand why, but everyone was fine with the 30min delay. Seeing that most of the people on the boat didn't clearly understood what changes it would cause in the itinerary e.g. Did we have to skip one stop or no, we asked the tour guide again whether water at maya bay is more stable, he said yes. So we asked if possible, maybe could we quickly go into maya bay for 5min after our break so that at least we still kind of got to see what we signed up for. And when my boyfriend asked, he was just trying to figure it out with the tour guide on what is possible and whatever the answer was, he would then translate into mandarin and discuss with the Chinese tourists for a final alignment. But the tour guide just blasted him all of a sudden after hearing his question, ""YOU DON'T DECIDE WHERE TO GO! THEY DECIDE WHERE TO GO! I DECIDE WHERE TO GO!""... Wohhhh, he made it sound like we were trying to manipulate him by pushing for our own secret agenda! To be fair, if he had been able to show more support in that situation and put his message across, why would we even step up to be the mediator/translator! We don't deserve to be treated like this when we were just trying to help them do their job. And I found out later that the tour guide was also video filming when my boyfriend was talking I know they need evidence, but this by no means makes the customer feel comfortable.Other than above, 2 more things that I feel quite bad about:First is that they started pouring water onto the boat to clean up the puke without giving a headsup. And for God's sake, my sneakers were on the floor and the water was poured towards my direction someone puked right behind me... So gross and he could have at least warned me before he poured the water.Second is that they kept making racial remarks by saying ""They are all Chinese. The Chinese people want to go back early"" when explaining to the Caucasian girl. But hey, please figure out the nationality of everyone on boat before you speak it as if it were a fact, because it is not! And after all, what has sea sickness to do with nationality If there is no connection, why would you keep emphasizing on that point" -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg298309d4323902r381494781ChingsanYanTempleKuchingSarawak.html,Date of experience: February 2016,Asia,Malaysia,Sarawak,"Sarawak, Malaysia","Chinese Buddhist devotees Malay folks forgot who they were, they were the same","One things that that impressed me was Chinese Buddhist devotees/worshippers and Malay folks racial harmony and religious respect.

Bass and partner Bernard ""Bud"" Westlund owned Apple Valley Ranchos Land Development Co.The inn, which opened on Thanksgiving Day 1948, is a landmark in the community and a prominent feature in the history of Apple Valley.The inn was a popular vacation destination for Hollywood celebrities during the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. Frequent visitors included notable icons Bob Hope, Marilyn Monroe, John Wayne and Richard Nixon in its heyday. Entertainment for guests included such performers as cowgirl celebrity and famous trick roper, Texas Rose Bascom.The inn originally allowed only white Christians as patrons. Apple Valley Ranchos Land established racial policies in its covenants, conditions and restrictions CCRs dated Feb 14, 1946. The restrictions were increasingly relaxed throughout the 1950s as GI Bill money was used to purchase property.In 1954, screen writer and producer Roger Corman set part of his movie Highway Dragnet at the inn with extensive shots of the lobby, pool and exterior scenes. In 1956, director Douglas Sirk and producer Ross Hunter utilized the same features as the 'Palm Valley Inn' in the film There's Always Tomorrow.In 1965, movie stars Roy Rogers and Dale Evans and their family became residents of Apple Valley. Roy Rogers leased the inn and restaurant, which was then renamed Roy Rogers' Apple Valley Inn. The Outdoor Steak Fry and the Roy Rogers' Riding Stables, with its haywagon rides and horseback riding, were two popular enterprises attached to the inn. Mel Marion and then Billy Bascom managed the stables. Cowboy artist Earl Bascom and his artist son John worked there from time to time. Roy Rogers' personal horse, Trigger Junior, was frequently boarded at the riding stables.After many successful years, the inn closed to the public in 1987.

The Nagadeepa Purana Rajamaha Viharaya is one of the sixteen most sacred places of worship by the Buddhists in Sri Lanka. Pilgrims have been coming to the Nagadeepa since about the 1st century AC to worship at its famous Rajayathana stupa. The Rajayathana stupa was constructed by two warring Naga kings, Chulodara and Mahodara, at the site where Lord Buddha during His second visit to the country on a Bak Maha Amawaka Poya Day, five years after attaining Enlightenment, intervened and mediated in settling a dispute over the possession of a gemstudded throne. The precious throne was offered to the lord Buddha, was returned to the Naga Kings and was later enshrined in this Rajayathana stupa. History records that the Nagadeepa Purana Rajamaha Vharaya was developed and reconstructed by pious kings, Devanampiyatissa, Dutugemunu and converted into a fully accomplished sacred place. During the period of Portuguese, Dutch and British all the Buddhist religious places were destroyed and the Nagadeepa Viharaya too has been subjected to it and Buddhists were deprived of worshiping these religious places. In the year 1931 Ven. Randombe Somatissa Nayake Thero from Ambalangoda has visited this place and observed the ruins of the Rajayathana stupa and the Kiripalu Nuga tree and identified as the stupa constructed with the gem studded throne on which Lord Buddha has preached, and Thero then reconstructed this stupa with the support of donors to enabling Buddhists for their religious observances. Praveenacharya Damma Kiththi Sri Venerable Navadagala Paduma Kiththi Tissa Thero the Chief Sanganayake of the Northern Province is the present chief Incumbent of Nagadeepa Purana Raja Maha Viharaya and he is a pupil of former chief Incumbent Rajakeeya Panditha the Late Most Venerable Brahmmana Watte Damma Kiththi Tissa Nayake Thero of Amarapura Nikaya.

It floods me with pleasant Proustian impressions of beloved old libraries, natural history museums, rare book stores, and Wunderkammers. The museum is a mirror of the world, but the parts most of us give little thought because they are too weird, inconsequential, foreign, alienating, or taken for granted.One is free to roam the museum and explore its abundance of wonders, though there is usually a staff member or volunteer available for a tour or to ask questions you will indubitably have questions. Admission is a suggested donation of 5, and a guided tour is a suggested donation of 8. Children under 12 are admitted free. Nobody is ever turned away for lack of funds. This nonprofit museum seems clearly to be a labor of love and the small amount of money they ask is just to keep the project going, not to make a killing.Make sure to call ahead. We have learned from their newsletter that they've had to make some changes to their hours of operation due to the ongoing harassment and terror tactics of an aggressively intolerant neighbor who among other things screams racial and homophobic slurs at museum patrons. To my mind this is not a deterrent to visiting the museum, it makes it so much more important to go there and support them in the face of this shameful siege.Check out their website for listings of their special exhibits and live events! We have been to events there and they sure do know how to throw a party. You get live entertainment, sure, but you also have this comforting sense of being enveloped in a community.

He asked me in a very rude manner if i would like anybody to walk in my house wearing sneakers and told me the concrete surrounding the murti is mopped dailywhich is a lie. I told him i have always followed the rules over these many years and was never ever told before to remove my shoes to walk around the grounds and not the actual ashram before by many pundits and workers to whom i speak to everytime i visit. Many other persons of east indian descent were there in shoes, slippers and sneakers as well but he only targeted me and and my friends because we are of african descent.

I am usually a very enthusiastic endorser of museums, but this particular place drove me crazy. I wish I could break down my average rating because one part of this museum would rate a five, another few parts a one, and the rest somewhere in between. A one rating should be given to the recording system used if you are not on a tour, which we were told was not available to us. Not sure why. The small recorder kept stopping and then one had to go back to the beginning and try to fast forward to where it had stopped. I traded out my faulty recorder for a new one three times before giving up entirely since each recorder stopped working, and I never got beyond part of the second room with the recorder. The narration on the recorder was secondrate, in any event. Another one rating should be given for the almost total lack of labels or written explanations of the exhibits with a few exceptions. A two rating should be given for the fact that this museum needs serious editing. It seems that any and every artifact given to the museum is on display without regard to the worthiness of its place in the collection. Someone with museum experience needs to assess the collection and carefully choose what should be on display at a particular time. Then within each room, care needs to be taken to present the artifacts in a meaningful way with appropriate context. This museum does not have much space and they have a lot of material; the result is that much of the collection just looks like stuff emptied out of someones attic. One exhibit, however, rates a five. Along one long hallway there is a fascinatingly appalling collection of black memorabilia that spans a period of many years. This collection does have labels and some explanations. The casual and cruel racism of these pieces is eyeopening. I have seen other collections of similar material over the years, but this display is the most comprehensive and, consequently, the most revealing of them all. It is hard to look at this collection without becoming enraged at the ignorance and arrogance of those who originally created and displayed these pieces. If someone visits the museum with children, this particular display needs to be approached with a great deal of sensitivity and explanation." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg147416d7062240r611519281TheHeritageMuseumoftheBahamasNassauNewProvidenceIslandBahamas.html,Date of experience: August 2018,Caribbean,Bahamas,New Providence Island,Moshi,Amazing Artifacts about Racism and Slavery,I went to here prior to doing the Tru Bahamian Food Tour.

On a Saturday, as soon as I put a step into the bar, one of the waiters suddenly came and told me that I could not enter the club because of the way I look like. That night I was dressing a quite formal black chemise and gray pants, while I was carrying my colorful backpack with my jumper inside. I don't think my attire was the problem. Indeed I genuinely believe that the waiter took that attitude because I'm not a prototypical white blond hair blue eyes gringo like the vast majority of tourists who visit Vallarta and fill up the pockets of greedy club owners like this one. I got furious at that moment and told the waiter that this racist and classist forms of social exclusion were considered as a crime in this country. He apologized and confessed that it was his first day of work and his boss told him not to allow the entrance to Mexicans who did not look particularly wealthy. I think this way of working is deplorable and socially unethical, and the club's owners should be ashamed of perpetuating these classist and xenophobic practices." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg150800d1951130r479277832MuseoMemoriayToleranciaMexicoCityCentralMexicoandGulfCoast.html,Date of experience: April 2017,Mexico,Central Mexico and Gulf Coast,Mexico City,"Mexico City, Mexico","Great learning experiences of how intolerant behaviours, discrimination, racism and genre abuse occur in real life","The first 2 top floors flows from top to bottom are a jews' holocaust showcase; museography is excellent; it never stops being startling and heart grippling.

What I wasnt expecting was a long line of people of all ages, including numerous groups of teenagers, waiting to purchase tickets. Ive been to other memorial museums, and usually they are somber spaces, with school tours ushered through on weekdays, empty on weekends. Not this time. Tickets in hand, one gets into another line to pass through airportstyle security, then a third line to take the elevator to the fifth floor where the exhibitions begin. The focus of the top two floors is on the rise Nazism in 1930s Germany, the increasing levels of oppression directed at the Jews and some others, including people with disabilities, the invasion of the rest of Europe, and implementation of the Final Solution. The story is told through horrifying text, images and artifacts, including a rail boxcar used to transport prisoners to concentration/extermination camps. One then moves through a series of galleries that describe each of seven other genocides that took place in the 21st century, emphasizing that the call never again has not been heeded. But this museum wisely does not let Mexico off the hook. Several galleries describe serious human rights challenges in Mexico: focusing on the treatment of migrants, xenophobia, disappearances, and high levels of violence against women and girls. The last several galleries invite visitors to reconsider racism, fear of others and violence, and to develop a plan of action which they suggest includes supporting this museum. I had an English audio tour headset that provided short descriptions of each gallery, but the exhibitions were clear and powerful even without the translation. It looked like most the visitors the day I was there were local, but this is an excellent, albeit heartwrenching, museum to visit if you are spending some time in Mexico City." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg150800d1951130r444924041MuseoMemoriayToleranciaMexicoCityCentralMexicoandGulfCoast.html,Date of experience: December 2016,Mexico,Central Mexico and Gulf Coast,Mexico City,"Los Angeles, California",It's in the courtyard of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs....,"This amazing museum sits right next to the Foreign Affairs Ministry.

The content on display was fascinating with some of it so awful, I had goosebumps. There were some very powerful items that really got across just how dehumanised these poor people were, and how white people justified their barbaric actions. The video exhibits were particularly hard to watch but very effective at getting across the horrors of the slave ships. On our way out, we read stories of black/mixed race people in Britain and their experiences of racism. It was a good end to the museum as it drilled home that the shackles, plantations and whips were undoubtedly awful, but racism isnt just limited to these horrors...it happens in the streets of this country too.However, as a previous reviewer mentioned, the layout is very confusing. There are some arrows on the floor, but not enough to make it obvious which direction you should be taking. I thought the flow of the exhibition was slightly odd too...you skip from the slave ship part to modern day legacy to a timeline which according to the arrows you end up viewing in a strange order they have you start at the most recent time and work your way back. Not how Id usually view a time line personally! and then finally to a part about life on the plantation.

However, I found the dominant focus of this museum appeared to be convincing its audience that slavery was a negative thing, something I feel never needed establishment in the first place. Additionally, it seemed to be a celebration of African culture and attempt to portray the ongoing effects of African racism in modern society, which given it is a meant to be an international slavery museum, misses the point completely. Sadly, at times it felt like an exercise in promoting white mans guilt and very much felt like a missed opportunity to present a disturbing yet intriguing period of modern history. The information presented is also very disjointed. It is apparently been set up chronically, with the first being the life in west Africa, before the onset of transatlantic slavery. The next is in regards to Enslavement and the middle Passage, whilst the last deals with the legacies of transatlantic slavery.

Additionally, it paid almost no attention to Liverpool's hand in the trade and transportation of Liverpool, which would have made it stand out in the way of Slavery Museums. The exhibits mostly focused on how Liverpudlians of slave descent and not were working to right the wrongs, or move away from slavery, or pointing out the horrible things done to the people elsewhere. Basically, the exhibit could have been anywhere in the world. The few mentions of Liverpool and England and their involvement in the Slave Trade was minimal and dismissive, and appeared to myself and many of my classmates to be almost propagandaish in their attempts to avoid mentioning their involvement.The only thing I actually enjoyed and by enjoy, I mean appreciate was the special exhibition of the atrocities committed in the Congo, and the photos taken by a couple during a period of time to document these atrocities." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg186337d1138078r213078317InternationalSlaveryMuseumLiverpoolMerseysideEngland.html,Date of experience: July 2014,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,"London, United Kingdom",Disappointing disjointed badly organized,"Important subject matter which deserves a much better presentation.

Yes, slavery was a terrible thing and it is great that it was abolished. That point almost doesn't need making when you read the figures on your ship ledgers.

As soon as I entered the building, the woman in the gift shop not the same woman from Saturday came rushing over to me, pushing past several other guests who were milling about, to ask me if I had a ticket. I was not in a ticketed area, I was sitting on a bench in the lobby. I told her that we had visited yesterday and that I just wanted to use the wifi for a minute. She angrily told me that wifi was for the cafe and if I wanted to use it I should go up there and buy something. She was so rude and panicked looking I thought she may have been reacting to my skin color, which is black. She did not question anybody else in the lobby. I did go to the cafe, bough a cappuccino from a very sweet cashier cafe gets 5 stars. I checked that my book was indeed on my phone, left with my coffee to read outside. Only I could not concentrate because of the interaction. When my husband finished in the other museum, I sent him into the lobby to see if anyone would stop him from using the wifi. He is white. He sat on that same bench for 10 minutes and nobody said a word to him." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg186534d3940278r457418206SubClubGlasgowScotland.html,Date of experience: February 2017,Europe,United Kingdom UK,Scotland,unknown,"Unfriendly security staff, borderline racism!

We are self respecting people and do not cause trouble when we go out but this particular member of security working as the doorman decided he wanted to ask us 21 questions about why we want to go into the night club. The way he was asking seemed as though he was looking for any excuse to not let us in because we happen to be English and he didn't like that about us. His reason for not letting us in was in his words 'we only want people in this nightclub that know what it is about'. Which to me did not make sense at all, also this caused other people in the cue to feel very edgy as it seems that they have very prejudice security working on the doors. It also felt as though this particular member of staff was looking for some sort of reaction so that it would give him a reason to get violent!All in all this was a very embarrassing situation for me and my friends and we won't be coming back any time soon, especially while this man is still currently being employed as security!

So then made us empty our pockets and metal detected us in front of 8/9 passing customers which he hadnt checked half of the IDs other half was passable but the other half was around 1820 tops !. Even made me look at my belt and top of my trousers and everything. Anyway after passing customs we thought well lets have one drink at least after passing customs into the UK rolling eyes I ordered a corona with lime and a bottle of bud . Around 3 minutes later I had to jump onto the high top marble bar to point him to the bud bottle . Which the bud bottle was room temperature... Im guessing is which he didnt want to serve me it .

Fair play to the security I agree being a personal licence holder myself that they have to do random stop checks etc but if he explained it to us and not just because we look foreign and cant understand us even through were english and from the almighty Yorkshire then hes just a sausage that needs moving to a different door because hes gonna stop your custom .

We were so shocked by what had happened we decided to take a separate taxi back to Paris even if it meant incurring additional costs we were scared that we would be abused and humiliated by this guide even on the way back home. This guide was extremely racist toward clients of Asian descent she had accused us many times of not been able to understand her clear instructions for context my wife and I grew up in Australia and English is our first language. Instead of explaining to us the rich history of the Palace, our guide was more focused on telling us when she had to depart for her next tour. She explicitly said that she would not wait more than 5 minutes for a client on the return trip as she had afternoon commitments this statement was extremely offensive for a tour guide. oOther points to note:Upon her arrival at her hotel she immediately told us how inconvenient we were located for her to pick us up We were accused of not being considerate when we had rearranged the seating in the car such that my wife and I could sit next to our respective parents who cannot speak English well and are in their 60s. She started screaming at us for this when a simple explanation would have been more than sufficient. She treated us like 2nd class citizensThe final guest we picked up was of Korean decent, but instead of listening to the client who told her many times she was Korean, she continued to introduce/refer her as a Japanese tourist. And throughout the trip made various remarks suggesting that she had to do more work due to the clients lack of English speaking abilitiesThe final straw came when we were accused of misleading the group as we had all taken Entrance B instead of Entrance A to Palace. Why would anyone want to mislead the group and enter the wrong entrance, when we paid a sizeable amount of money to come on a guided tour because we were obviously foreigners to the country. Instead of acknowledging her own shortfalls she decided to blame us for our lack of understanding of the English language. She could have just asked whether we didnt hear her instructions but no, she started again yelling and screaming at us as if we were 5 year olds and telling us we were RUDEAlso please take note that this is not a guided tour in the traditional sense, as the only information if any that you will receive from the guide will be dished out in the car ride to the Palace. It was safe to say that our guide was not able to properly explain anything to us whilst navigating the traffic of Paris. Most of the time she was confusing the various Kings of France Louis 14, 15 16 and their background story and achievements with one another. I found reading the Wikipedia summary on my iPhone to be much more informative Our general advice to all is avoid Paris Euroscope at all cost our guide was abusive and rather than facilitating a new informative visit she completely ruined our experience.For those that care, the total cost of our tour was 356 89 x 4 for this amount we received a ride to the palace, a ticket to tour the palace, emotional abuse and was confronted with a racist. In comparison a normal taxi ride there and back together with tickets would have cost around 120 almost a third the price. Please do your homework, if given the choice again I would never have used Paris EuroscopeWe made a formal complaint to Paris Euroscope and spoke to Jean Christophe and was told the matter would be investigated and we would be called back that afternoon but this obviously did not eventuate. Clearly they didnt think it was a serious enough issue. We had also asked for the name of the tour guide so others may avoid her at their choosing but this was not released to us. So we can only provide you with some simple facts which hopefully means you can avoid the person in questions, our guide was a young lady, aged in her mid 30s with medium length brunette hair." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg187147d8662054r464420341BadaboumParisIledeFrance.html,Date of experience: March 2017,Europe,France,IledeFrance,unknown,Discriminition/ Racism/Homophobia/xenophobia,"The security staff at the entrance is very rude !

I explained to her that this is swimshorts and I showed her the backside of swim short so that she could see that it is truly swim short. Then she continued to say it is not a proper swimsuit and the outside material does not look like a swimsuit. I could understand the staffs do not want some people wearing shorts instead of swimsuits since the the dye in the clothes could ruin other peoples experience and may damage your own clothes.

It is, overall, a very good museum; if you want to read every panel and take everything in there are also some videos and clever animations, you will need to have more than 2 hours to do everything. I particularly enjoyed the comparisons and explanations of the various major religions, as this could be educational for most of us.The following points are nitpicking, but would make it an excellent experience: first, some of the texts are too small, or too low down, to be read if you try to approach some of them to read them better, you trigger the audioalarm ""Please stand back!"". This was a bit annoying, as there is no way one can read these panels otherwise; they are too low to be read by adults and I and my companion are not particularly tall. Secondly, it would have been good to present the nonEuropean objects alongside objects coming from European countries, or even Germany, as the collections did not include these. However, it would be of interest to compare say bridal wear from foreign countries at the beginning of the 20th century with similar garments in Germany of that time. Finally, it would be great if the museum allowed for a different order for walking through the very generously spacedout exhibition sections. It felt a bit as if one had to follow the exact route of the ""parcours"", and couldn't easily skip a section if one had had enough.Not a place to go to again and again, but I could definitely envisage going back some time maybe with a younger family member in tow, so that they had their eyes opened as much as I did." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg187371d2021665r370643724RautenstrauchJoestMuseumCologneNorthRhineWestphalia.html,Date of experience: April 2016,Europe,Germany,North RhineWestphalia,"Durban, South Africa",Very interesting Ethnographic exhibits,"This museum was very oldschool in its content with a huge collection of objects collected by ethnographers from various cultures, but raises the bar in its innovative and interactive display of these objects and its acknowledgement of western cultural bias and racism in the history of ethnography.

The NoPointMuseum,"There are good facts about this museum. First and foremost the technology they are using is impressive,except for the audio guide there are showcases which wait for your touch to light up and display the description of the artifacts,interactive books which display their content after the page is turned and many audiovisual descriptions. The welcome video is very moving, people from all over the world greeting each other and the guest in their language, I couldn't get enough of it. Also the personnel is very helpful, excluding the man in the audioguide desk which speaks very little English and gets rude when you ask him questions although it was not my fault he gave me the wrong audio guide... And that's about it.The main subject of this museum is supposed to be antiracism, displaying objects and aspects of everyday life in the former European colonies,together with the stories of the discoveries/exploitation of those lands. First and foremost,it goes wayyyyy on about the discoverers,how they got tattoos,how were their houses decorated etc etc. Why would anybody be interested in such details ""here is the basin that dr. Oppenheimer used when shaving...."" Seriously When we leave dr. Oppenheimer's lavishly decorated salon,we are placed in a big white room which shows videos describing how coloured peoplebwhere considered dangerous and/or contaminated,and how they were exploited and how that is wrong and so on. Those descriptions however are done in such an intense tone that they border on racism towards Europeans. As a European I didn't enjoy that very much. I like to believe that those where mistaken opinions of the past and to move on, not have someone throw them in my face. I am fully aware that our separate societies can't be considered 100 percent racismfree, but my main argument is this : even if there are such narrow minded people they will never visit such a museum to have their narrowmindedness thrown in their faces. For the more understanding people like me however, this museum was mostly a live repetition of the things/stories/utensils that I had already seen in encyclopedias.My third and final argument about this museum is that the showcases are DISTURBING! And it gets worse room by room! Voodoo dolls, hideous headdresses, the ugliest statues I had ever seen, videos of wailing during funerals and live making of mummies Shouldn't someone have put these in the description I don't have a very thick stomach and frankly, I left disturbed, to put it mildly. Last but not least, in the description it is mentioned that 12 hours are needed to see everything. Normally that would be the case, however, the audio guide goes on and on about every showcase for around 4 minutes and there are approximately 100 showcases. Adding the videos and the inwall audio descriptions,one might as well need 34 hours to see and hear everything as detailed as it's supposed to be. Needless to say, the endless rambling of the audioguide bothered me so much I hardly used it... Summarizing the above, I think this would be a hit museum some 3040 years earlier but for 2014 I think it's a bit outdated and blah, technology aside. Also fair warning, it is NOT pretty. I wouldn't rate it an experience I would have liked to have skipped, but it wasn't pleasant either." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg187371d2021665r148494379RautenstrauchJoestMuseumCologneNorthRhineWestphalia.html,Date of experience: December 2012,Europe,Germany,North RhineWestphalia,"Caernarfon, United Kingdom",An intelligent museum,"This museum is a collection of ethnic items collected by a German in the nineteenth century. Unlike many such collections which are a jumble of unrelated items this one has been put into an intelligent order and context. It has taken the theme that all human beings have the same motivation to display their gender, status, wealth, power, by means of outward appearance and rituals. So the ritualistic dress of Queen Elizabeth opening parliament with a crown and medals etc. is put side by side with the headman of a tribe in Africa or Asia wearing feathers or animal skin or some bones to show status and privilege. Suddenly the natives did not look so strange after all and Queen Elizabeth could also be seen in the context of a leader of a tribe. One of the items in the museum which struck home was the question ""When did you realize you were white"" This was in the context of the racism we take for granted around us from advertisements for chocolate using black people as ""exotic"" to cartoons about cannibalism. I left the museum with many ideas to think about which made the visit worth while. I have not mentioned the modern building and all the facilities including a bookshop and cafe.

Nasty racism","This university managed to present me with a narrowminded blind arrogance of Catalan ethnocentrism. Let alone the staff members always put a poker face as if you owe them one million euros. Regarding the academic spirit of this university, it is more than ridiculous. A typical example is what happened in my thesis defense, in which my thesis composed in English was being judged by a catalan professor who did not speak English at all.CAN YOU BELIEVE THATThe courses I enrolled in were 100 lectured in English as announced by the uni, yet in the final defense you sent a Catalan who did not know English to judge my effort and my work and my contributionWHERE IS YOUR CONSCIENCEFurthermore, in my study there were two groups being compared Turkish and Chinese students with B2 level of Spanish and English. However, during my defense, this catalan woman said in Spanish that even if when both the Chinese and Turkish student groups have the same level of B2, Chinese students still perform worse than Turkish students. REALLY I WAS SHOCKED.I am not sure whether I am being oversensitive, but still I sense that her statement is tinted with racial discrimination. Meanwhile, I am not sure from what database she managed to render such a conclusion. If there is one, please do share with me.Second, this catalan woman disapproved of my ""lengthy"" reference list. But if my memory does serve me well, the standards in the TFM do require students to faithfully reflect their literature references in the work. Although she stated that it was impossible for me to read that much, thus again I am confused: Is reading ""too much"" a mistake for those who strive in academic field Is faithfully reflecting the literature review also a mistake And on what basis was she certain that i was ""not possible to read that much"" Plus, when announcing my grade, she simply walked out and told my grade while refusing to let me enter into the classroom. Thus I really have no idea what I have done to be treated so differently.Also, I am aware of the fact that she is unable to pronounce my Chinese name, but it was not necessary for her to show such contempt on her facial expression." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg187497d1976641r507448901UniversityofPompeuFabraBarcelonaCatalonia.html,Date of experience: June 2017,Europe,Spain,Catalonia,"Lima, Peru",A Joke Univeristy,"The worst educational institution I have ever seen in my entire life.

I was confronted by a rude unprofessional team member named 'Carmella Cox' who demanded I immediatly leave the cinema and find ID for my younger sibling. she was chewing gum whilst speaking to me and used the slang and foul language ""stupid cow"" towards me. Finally when I returned with her ID I asked to speak to the manager to give a formal complaint whom I was turned away by as he stated due to the fact that I raised concerns I was a target of racism this somehow was me being racist.Therefore after wasting 1 hour of my time I was refused to watch the film. The man's name was 'Adam Watts' who was the most disrespectful ill mannered manager I have ever met at a professional establishment. I myself am a general manager and I always treat all customers with fairness, respect and equality. I strongly believe and will be pursuing a formal police complaint that article 19 of my human rights was completely violated. Article 19 states ""freedom of opinion and information"" therefore when I raised concerns about being a potential victim of racism to my younger sister and NOT at the staff my conversation was monitored and later reported as abuse to the general manager which lead to me being escorted by security for bringing up the universal declaration of human rights. Upon leaving the cinema the general manager was shouting abusive foul comments to me and my younger sister which attracted attention by other customers who where also very shocked.

After walking all the way to this place, I saw two young men who seemed to work at this place or even run it talking to each other. I took a while to go thru their rate card and then the younger one of the two men approached me enquiring my interests. At the same time a family of 3 from Germany walked. After some discussion between the older one and the younger one I was told they were booked. This happened after the German family finished their discussion with the older guy. I then challenged and asked them why didn't you tell me before these Germans got here. He then changed his reasoning and said the wind conditions are are not good for a sail. What he didn't realise is that I was fluent in German and I knew what the German family spoke to this guy. It was a simple case o mathematics. A business for three is better than one.But again I felt it was a case of racism than anything else because of certain things which I observed such as his unwillingness to talk to me or not responding directly to my queries etc. The younger guy was Italian and was keen to accommodate me.

Initially booked for a date and then told less than 24 hours before that this wouldn't be going ahead. After about four voicemail messages and numerous emails managed to get a response and rebooked though I wish I'd just gone with the refund.Fraser Island is beautiful and I camped in a lovely location and the facilities were adequate hence the two stars.However what did let it down was:1. The transportation: after settling ourselves in we were told that there was no aircon, no radio and the speedometer was broken. It was later found that half of the seatbelts in the back were either missing or defective the group tour was a total of eight. There was a Bluetooth speaker which meant that one of the group played endless Ed Sheeran, Oasis and Shakira.2. The driving: the terrain on the Fraser Island is certainly not flat so there is obviously an expectation of a bumpy ride, however the driver seemed to delight in riding rough shod to hear the squeals from those in the back. He seemed to always be surprised b the break pedal which meant harsh stops and people being thrown around.3. The racism: the tour was led by an ""Australian"" and I only say Australian in quotations, as I mean not a native of the country. His views on the indigenous population was inflammatory at best they being simple and ungrateful that people took over their land and killed and enslaved them. Thankfully and yes I mean this sarcastically these weren't the only brown people that he took against and rated about ""PC gone mad"" the debate around the nursery rhyme ba ba black sheep was interesting.The only positive thing I would add is that his racism seems to borne of ignorance rather than malice.4. I assume he is a fan of Clive Palmer as along with as along with his views on ""other Australians"" his views on gun control were insightful.His knowledge of the island and the animals were very good and had he stuck to that it would have been lovely or at least gauged the temperament of the group, before espousing his rhetoric. Though one in my group did find a hole in her tent which led to waking up to find a mouse in with her; the accommodation was nice and sleeping to the sound of the ocean was lovely.

Regrettably, when we arrived at the club the welcoming wasn't good at all. At the door, they first looked at us as if we were beggars, asked for our IDs and then refused to let us in. According to what they said at the door, it wasn't enough to have our national IDs, we needed an Australian driving license. Well, we arrived to Oz a week ago and don't have that, of course. Then they asked why didn't we have our passports, we answered that we never hang out with our passports, as in case you loose it then it's a hassle to get a new one while abroad. Moreover, we spent six months in Melbourne at the beginning of the year and this was the first time someone asked for our passport to join a party. When we asked why they don't clarify that on the event's webpage, they answered that this is Australian Law, so they have no obligation to write something which is 'already known'. Alright, we could accept it if that's something imposed institutionally, but then we realized that this procedure was not applying to all guests who were entering the party. A friend of us from Northern Europe was allowed in with his national ID, but it seems like our IDs were not as valid as his. We had our national IDs on us, as well as our affiliation card to university as we're both PhD researchers. We also said that we had the scan of our passports in our phone, but no way. We were not allowed to the party. If the same policy applied to all guest everything would be alright, but if you let in a blond, blue eye guy from northern Europe with his national ID, and treat like dogs other persons who show the same kind of identifications but have dark skin and brown hair, then we can't see any other reason but racism! Yeah, this club and its employees are RACISTS!

I had to face the tantrums of a grumpy co passenger behind me who refused to let me recline my seat though the person in front reclined it to the fullest extent. When I pointed this out to the stewardess instead of convincing the grumpy co passenger she told me curtly to put my seat ahead. Barely a few minutes later when i was informing my family over a 1 minute call that I have boarded safely, the stewardess came back with a complaint from the same copassenger saying I should disconnect the call since the others were getting disturbed listening to a foreign language. Looking at my plight a kind co passenger exchanged his seat with mine but he was made to go through the same torture of discrimination. The stewardess revised to serve the Asian customers like us after the initial round of beverages. If called she would screech WAIT and scamper off never to return for taking order. She also forcefully charged most of us for extra baggage for the small bags which are considered as cabin baggage in aircrafts. Her behaviour completely changed when an European passenger took the seat I had left in the night and told off the grumpy co passenger bluntly that she had to be more accommodating towards others in the bus. Thats when I protested again and the Stewardess assigned a new seat to the grumpy lady.To my consternation I had sent a complaint email to the management that very evening which was responded to a month later. They narrated a biased story and sided their staff and blamed me for the incorrect position of my seat and my loud phone calls. I was traveling solo and my phone call had barely lasted a minute. No foreign traveler would blow up a fortune on making international phone calls during their trip abroad.Nevertheless I am appalled by their abominable service and lack of apathy towards customers. They are extremely shortsighted in their approach. My second trip to Budapest with them was hassle free and they did not charge me for the same baggage. Even after pointing that out the management felt as a passenger I was crying foul.Flixbus is better any day. They treat all customers equally with the same amount of attention. Moral of the story: Better to travel by Flixbus though its a wee bit more pricey but ensure peace of mind and self respect is intact.

It hits home what racism is capable of doing. Unfortunately be warned we were part of a large group approx 20 people and it seemed there were multiple groups being pushed through giving you little time to absorb and reflect. Our tour guide was a nice man who spoke good English but unfortunately I struggled to understand him at times due his deep highly accented voice. During Auschwitz we did however have headsets so despite struggling with my arthritic hips and always holding the group up I did get to hear about most of what others could see. Felt rushed and struggled with the fast pace. No access for wheelchair users to safely visit. The ground was rough and muddy so wear good boots. Auschwitz have 1.5 million visitors a year so I can understand the speed needed to get every one of us around but I wish I could have had more time to reflect at a less painful walking speed. If you have any mobility issues then you may struggle. I wish I'd done a little more research on the types of tours before I booked. Perhaps a top private tour would be better for you and take advice from the organisers who may be able to accomodate you better. Will cost more but try and go.

After the bouncer asking them twice not to drink their own alcohol in front of the club, they were informed that their night in the club had come to an end and that they would have not been allowed in again.Once my friend and I tried to get in again since we had no part in the issue, we were also Polishstylekindly informed that we could not set foot in the club again.

This had 2 parts 1 hour of castle tour 30 mins of city tour. The castle tour went smoothly and was informative. Next was the city tour. Unfortunately, I had such a horrifying racist experience here with the guy handling the counter, that it left me in tears.This guy's name was Vladimir and he was wearing the company's yellow tshirt. He was courteous in the beginning. I was the only passenger and we were waiting for a couple of more to join in the 6 seater presporacik ride across the city. Things turned for the worse when a family of 4 came in. One of the family members started occupying my seat. When I said that I am sitting there and hence my belongings are there, one of them started to protest saying they wanted to sit there. It was fine till here and we would have resolved this matter ourselves.All of a sudden, the company representative, Vladimir jumps in and says I am the chief here, a family will be given the first preference so you must either take the leftover seat or Get Out of the Bus. I was taken aback with this attitude and explained to him that I can take the next seat too. But he said No, the only option for me is the seats that were leftover after the 4 people had occupied their seats and if I don't like it I should GET OUT OF THE BUS. Having said this insultingly he banged the door on my face leaving me standing outside.I had already paid and there was no time for me to see Bratisalva later as I was leaving shortly so I went on the tour despite feeling humiliated and in tears. I wanted to see the city despite this man making it such a miserable situation. Bad decision. While on the 30 min ride, I called the tour office info@tour4u.sk twice and emailed them 34 times in a span of 4 hours...all they had to say was we are the best tour company here, this cannot be possible. I asked them to verify the story with the bus driver who was sympathetic to me as he could see how downright insulting and rude the company representative was.Anyways, the story doesnt end here. Once I got back to the same spot, I asked the Vladimir and the people wearing the yellow tshirt that I would like to speak with the manager. VLADIMIR says that I am the manager here and he continues You get out from this country, GO TO YOUR COUNTRY. Wow! After all the insults earlier, now I get a first hand taste of what racism against brown skin is. As a single brown woman traveller, being judged and insulted for your skin color from a white man of Tour4u was quite the experience. Having travelled to quite some countries in Europe, Asia, Middle East, Africa, honestly I have only had the nicest experiences. In Bratislava too, the people have been so nice and warm, I will try hard and not let one person from tour4u tainting that opinion.One advice explore other options.

From being asked to leave the exhibit because it was members only while we were visibly wearing our membership pins to being yelled at while walking on the stairs to watch our head, weve been through it all.We heard that they museum appointed a Diversity Officer, so on our visit dated Oct 28th, when we experienced discrimination we decided to finally say something.I went up to the membership front desk and explained that I was unhappy and thats why we had decided not to renew our membership. The young woman at the front desk was nice and she said shed like to get a supervisor who had more authority to help.The supervisor was a young white man who took a bad situation and made it worse. When I explained the situation to him he said its the first time Ive ever heard anything like this and maybe the docents were having a bad day when I visited. At that point, I had had enough of the victim blaming mentality he was displaying and so I told him that it was not acceptable to dismiss overt racism under the guise of bad dayand tried to walk off. He then took an extra aggressive tone with me and asked what more he could do after clearly having done NOTHING except aggravating the situation. I told him as much and we left shortly after.Its amazing how this museum is appropriating the art of other cultures, bemoaning the lack of patronage from the younger generations but then aggressively dissuading minorities from visiting because they doesnt fit their image of who their patrons should be." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg28970d142109r381719846WorldAgainstRacismMuseumWashingtonDCDistrictofColumbia.html,Date of experience: June 2016,United States,District of Columbia DC,Washington DC,unknown,Disgrace ,"Complete racism, me and my sister walked past with a friend and they said he was 'too drunk to get in', do you know how much he had One beer and he was completely sober.

Out of 49 people on the bus, 9 of were black. They lumped us all together in 1 group, although we did now know each. But at that time thought, no big deal. We get to the spot and Speedy the tour guide announces that he needs to see our group for something special. That something special ending up being that they wanted all 9 Black people to pay before we even did the excursion, with the other 40 people being told that they could pay afterwards. We fought that, with the help of some other guests on the bus who stood up for us, while dealing with other people being frustrated at us. We still try to do the excursion. We go cave tubing first. My tube deflated and I ended up having to swim, hike, wade in the water with just a life jacket. No other tube was offered or provided. Then we were on the atv, someone in our group ran out of gas Then at the end. I asked about the food they said they were going to provide. Someone looked at me and said what food. I look at my reservation where it said lunch and pointed to it. We were then reluctanly given a tray with a tamale on it. At this point the bus we ride in on leaves with Speedy telling us it is crowded and the AC was malfuctioning. So we had separate transportation back to the boat. When it came time to pay, I had no problem paying for the Zip line fun atv super short but I felt there should have been somerthing taken off because, I didnt get the full cave tubing experience. Speedy aparantly leaves the bus and our van picks him up on the side of the road. He gets in the car stating that his job was on the line if we dont pay. We tell him we never stated we weren't going to pay but we would only pay for services rendered. Speedy was very disrespectul and condensing to our group. We get back on the boat and 2 girls from the bus asked us what happened. We told them what Speedy said and they looked at us with disbelief. She shared that the bus was partially empty and the AC work. Even more hurtful she shared that Speedy her group ""thats why I wanted them to pay first because now they are not trying to pay"".

Went on the tour because of the value with the cave tubing,ATV and zipline. Was very easy to find and was told to pay for the Excursion at the end. Out of all of the people on a 55 passenger tour bus only the nine people of color were asked to pay first by Speedy. When questioned why were we being singled out we were given some BS excuse we were also taken off the bus and put on a separate bus and we're told that it was because we were going to move around different from the rest of the people on the tour. In the process of taking the tour my ATV ran out of fuel while I was on the course. Another person that was in our group, her cave tube popped while in the river. She had to swim the whole course in order to get back to shore because they did not have an extra one or some type of plan in case something like this happened in place. We were also told that lunch was included with the tour but at the end of the tour they tried not to serve us lunch. Then when it came time to pay for the Excursion myself who ran out of fuel and the other person whose tube popped we're expected to pay full price for the tour. After arguing with Speedy we came to a resolution for a discounted price due to the mishaps on the course which was fair but he really did not want to do that and we should not have had to go through all of that because of their in efficiencies. And to add insult to injury some of the non people of color who are on the tour bus that referred us to the tour told us when we got back on our cruise ship that's Speedy told all the non people of color on the bus that that's why he wanted us to pay first and we were the only people not on the bus going back to the terminal!

Nevertheless the rest fairly entertaining. Unfortunately, we could understand nothing at all as they all spoke in Russian. What was shocking is the staffs who manages this place. They do not speak English but that wasn't the main problem. They do not respect people at all particularly Asians. There was no queue to collect coats and everyone practically rushed to the front to get their coats. When we Asians approached the counter, they told us off in Russian which we could barely understand but I guessed they told us to go at the back which I'm confused why the rest of them were not told off when they were in front without queuing We moved to be back, say about 23 people but many white people went to the front of us and right in front of us without queuing but this lady did not tell them off and allowed them to take their coats jumping queues. When it was our turn, as she held my shawl, it was dragging the floor and ""sweeping"" it. She threw our coats on the counter and continued to sulk. As I was collecting it just merely seconds, she told me off in Russian with ""get off"" hand gestures. I was surrounded by so many people who were jumping queues, and I could not leave. She continued to scold us and I had to tell her off in English to WAIT, because I am trying to leave but it was CROWDED!! She kept quiet when I told her off in English. Her attitude was not like that at all to nonAsians.I will suggest everyone to stay off this circus as they support racism.

When I think of California, I think of a progressive state but beware of areas where there is not much diversity. The locals made it clear that minorities are not welcome there. From the local convenient store to the restuarants and hotels. Please do your research. I felt compelled to warn people before they spend their money and have a less than delightful experience.

My spouse and I were in Orlando on our anniversary trip. We decided to go to gator world since we had never been. Being a clinical psychologist from up north where there truly is not that much racism I was completely shocked how I entered the gift shop as I was finishing my tour of the park and I was approached by a rather strange heavyweight white lady that was obviously scouting us out. Dirty looks and no greeting. As we left the store my spouse and I were asked for our receipt of admission!!We were the only ones that were being scouted at and asked for a receipt. I immediately started To show them pictures of the park while my spouse was retrieving the receipt from his wallet. At this point three white country women were surrounding me and treating us as if we were criminals. I immediately stated that if I were a Caucasian this would not be happening. One of the three miserable women repIied dont use the rascism card. We immediately left the park in shock of what had just happened. I then contacted customer service at gator world and got the runaround. Obviously the white women at the gift shop already contacted the front desk to tell them what had happened. If you are not white please do not come to this park there is no need for you to be treated as if you were trash. Take it from a clinical psychologist I study human behavior for a living .These sad three women were sad to look at sad to talk to and extremely ignorant. It is very sad that an educated couple such as my spouse and myself should have to be dealing with racism. For the record no one should be dealing with racism. !!!!!!

We decided to speed up our game and play scramble, with no issue. Another worker came by and said we have to hurry up, we are about 45 minutes behind schedule. I then looked up and pointed to the people in front of us who were holding us up since we were waiting on them. No one decided to go over the them and tell them they were taking too long. Instead the worker told me that he is the golf pro at the country club and he knows when people are taking too long. At that point, my group was soo annoyed that we went around 56 groups that we in front of us, which meant we skipped 4 holes. At the end, our group of 4 people took 3 hours to complete 18 holes normally it would take about 44.5 hours. I am completely boggled by the situation and will never golf there again.

Normal price for a cappuccino in italy is 1.201.40 but at dot.com is 1.75 The food options are ok but very over priced. Bathrooms at dot.com are horrendous, use the bathroom at Prada or gucci. Almost non existent wifi, impossible to connect and extremely slow.Prada outet it's strange compared to the same in Bicester UK or in the USA. In Leccio if you are Asian, more notable chinese, they are instantly bugged with you and SA's are curt, impatient, and tthe cashier asks to see your passport or ""documento"" before asking for your number under which your items are held for you. So being Asian from Singapore I was first asked for my passport and the women asked me three times if the two handbags and two wallets are for me. Yet next to me at the next register was an italian woman buying at least a dozen pairs of men's shoes......no asking for a documento, no questions at all. I then observed the cashiers changing demeanors to customers depending on if they were Asian or not. I don't like the way I was treated and I don't appreciate being made to feel like less than a human being simply because I come from asia. I almost despise my purchases becaus they remind me how bad I felt standing there prada.The gucci shop on then other hand was much better and so were the other shops.Also I didn't appreciate these random men in the middle of the road outside the PRADA outet asking for signatures for some drug movement or something.

Next morning, we skipped the aarti and decided to go for a walk. It was 4:30 AM and I noticed only Indian volunteers are engaged in cleaning the temple complex sweeping the streets, gardening, cleaning toilets, cooking and so on. Whereas the whiteskinned people are chanting mantras, maintaining storefront and meditating. On further probing, a boy cleaning the garden said that since they are dark skinned, they are advised to do the daily chores. As devotees prefers watching whiteskinned people performing aarti, chanting/singing Hare Krishna and selling products.Even the security stopped us from entering several roads adjoining the complex. The security personnel indirectly said that they are not allowed to permit Indians enter those roads as those roads leads to residential complex of whiteskinned volunteers and a few of them does not like that.I wanted to visit the temple to rejuvenate myself.

No reasonable reason was given he was wearing giuseppe designer trainers and was told these werent allowed. Even the most prestigious London clubs allow these trainers so why doesnt a small time club in Epsom Suspicious...When we asked the security guard if he changed his trainers would he be allowed in we were told noAlso suspicious...The security guard was rude to anyone who tried to reason with him and even brought out another security guard to intimidate my boyfriend who was showing no signs of anger or violence AT ALL! This resulted in him having to go home which is ridiculous. On top of this two other coloured men dressed nicely were refused entry whilst this was happening THIS IS NO LONGER JUST SUSPICIOUS THIS IS PLAIN RACISM. I have seen so many reviews reflecting the same thing so when is some action going to take place! No one should have to experience this kind of behaviour and you would think that in 2019 society would be able to see past colour! Would not recommend ever coming here you can find much better clubs elsewhere who dont tolerate any kind of racism and frankly have much shorter queues. -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg46841d273170r221070212WashingtonAveBeachSpringLakeNewJersey.html,Date of experience: August 2014,United States,New Jersey NJ,Jersey Shore,"Orlando, Florida",Racism in Spring lake!!!!,"Yesterday was the first and last of me ever taking friends my family to this beach.

I did not know what to say I responded back and said oh no they very nice they were just upset looking because something had happened to them before we got there but the problem was not with us sweetie. Then she says but mommy they were looking at us every time we moved. I was like really i barely noticed a thing.

The first couple times I went were great, then I went with family. My sisters boyfriend is of color. We brought him about 3 years ago. I thought maybe it was just because he looked young, they kept asking him for 2 forms of ID every time we would go, but we would go often and this happened EVERY TIME. So he stopped going with us. Then now 3 years later I go out with my friends and man, mind you the bouncer didn't even ask for my ID because he remembered me from 3 years ago that I was coming, let me in with no ID. My man went to go in and was told his dress code wasn't right. Which every man in the place had the same thing on my man did. Hat, tee shirt, jeans and sneakers. Then after my man felt disrespected because he saw what all the men were wearing, and said something to the bouncer, he was told go back to Troy where you came from. Ok So every black man is from Troy now Its a fun bar, but definitely disrespectful racist fat door men... Disgusted by this place due to that one and only reason.

You will hear the voice of injustice, you will hear their cry, you will have to face your own prejudice and be challenged to process what next Where do I go from here What voice am I meant to haveParking is free in the parking lot which is also patrolled by security. You will initially see the Lorraine Motel which looks like it is stuck in time and did not keep up with modernization. The Motel is the site of the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. The museum itself takes you through the story of African Americans and the injustice that has taken place from the early slave trade through to the present.It takes 23 hours to make it through museum...give it the time needed rather than rushing through it and truly being able to hear the voices and be challenged by what it represents.Cost is 16 for adults note, they are closed on Tuesdays. At first you can enter into an art gallery, no photos in this area.The rest of the museum is a selfguided tour. There is a lot of reading so be prepared to take your time. Although this is good for kids to learn about, much of the information may go over their heads due to the larger amounts of reading in each exhibit. Be ready to explain what is going on and help put things into a language that they will explain and understand. It is ideal for teens and adults as they shape their understanding around justice and peace. There are a lot of physical elements that you can also interact with displays like buses, a dining area, statues of protestors. Each room covers a different theme or element of racism towards African Americans. The first room starts with information regarding the slave trade from 1619 1861. They were viewed as a commodity to be traded and taken advantage of. In the first room, you can also wait to see a special film which shows every 20 minutes. Once you are done, you will proceed through to the next room of the museum.The museum continues through 16 different exhibit areas. The journey addresses slavery and Civil War. It then proceeds to the segregation that African Americans experienced and the fight they went through to be recognized as equals. This took place through the sit ins, the freedom riders, bus boycotts, children stepping forward, marches and strikes. All the while, they were met with opposition from groups like the KKK, attacked by dogs, shot with water cannons and their churches were burned.The museum brings to light several movements that came forward to try to stop the injustice: the Black Panthers and NAACP. Several voices emerged as leaders, many of them within churches. Much of the movements against the hatred and racism were met without fighting back and using strategic protesting to make their point heard. Martin Luther King Jrs last speech can be seen before you step into his final moments in room 306 and 307 before he was assassinated.After your time at the museum, you may want to go and sit in a coffee shop, talk about what you saw and continue to hear. Process in groups as you figure out what your own life steps may be going forward. If you have the chance, head to Birminghams Kelly Ingram park which is the site of many of the injustices discussed in the museum. The physical location adds another layer of wrestling with this as you stand at one of the other Ground Zero locations of the racism." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg55197d105742r666498677NationalCivilRightsMuseumLorraineMotelMemphisTennessee.html,Date of experience: April 2019,United States,Tennessee TN,Memphis,"Orpington, United Kingdom",What an education,"Learned so much and was so ignorant of the racism, tensions and civil rights of the day.

This museum takes you on an emotional journey through history covering everything from slavery to modern America. Often very harrowing and emotional you are given a greater understating of the challenges black people encountered in America. How institutional racism held them down, gave them little or no say in their lives and oppressed their speech and liberties. How strong people stood up, were counted and began to make a difference and how some of which tragically died for that cause. What a fantastic venue this is and an amazing monument to the work of legendary black Americans who sacrificed so much to bring freedom, equality and fairness to black American men and women. It leaves you with you heart broken for the misery and suffering that was delivered to the poor black communities of America and how oppression forced them into lives of horror and pain. While you are touched by the successes of the few you are reminded that people still picket the streets of America with placards campaigning for change and their rights to be upheld. Black people are a third more likely to be pulled over while driving and are 2 and half more times likely to be killed by a police officer. 45 of Black children under the age of 6 live in abject poverty where parents are having to choose when to feed themselves and their children. So the question you are left with is how much has really changedMartin Luther King said he had a dream by visiting this venue you are helping to ensure that that dream at some point becomes a true reality where each of us are afforded equality and shown the same respect, love and understanding irrespective of race, gender or social status." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg55197d105742r603391520NationalCivilRightsMuseumLorraineMotelMemphisTennessee.html,Date of experience: August 2018,United States,Tennessee TN,Memphis,"Cary, North Carolina",Go early! sobering instructive very worthwhile!,"Having failed to do any research, but as a foreigner wanting to understand more about the USAs troubled past in the South where I now live, I quickly was made aware of what Id not remembered:heres where MLK was murdered.

But misnamed,"Approaching this facility from the parking lot, I was strruck with a sense of heaviness. There on the balcony of the preserved Lorraine Motel is a wreath marking the spot where Martin Luther King was murdered, I don't use the term ""hallowed ground"" lightly but that's what it felt like to meand should the experience be rendered a conflict by other visitors who seemed to think it was an amusement parkSo we entered the museumand I was struck that it was not really a civil rights museum. That's not entirely a criticism; it's primarily a monument to Dr, King, and as such it's entirely fitting and proper to have on this site. But as a civil rights museumwell, it focuses only on the rights of African Americans save for a short video about the Polaris project that's combating world slavery, Don't civil rights also extend to Native Americans, Hispanics, and other oppressed groupsIt also failed for me as a museum. When I visit a museum I'm expecting to browse through galleries and learn things at my own pace and according to my own interests. Here, I was essentially herded through exhibitsmost of which told me nothing I didn't already know, I don't need to see the 12minute video that reviews the Civil War, Emancipation Proclamation, amendments 13, 14 and 15, Dred Scott, Plessy, etc. Perhaps most of the visitors doande then after, we're marched through corridors cataloguing the history of the civil rights movement in excruciating detail. Some of it was great for methe Rosa Parks bus, the burnedout Greyhound from the Freedom Riders, the simulation of the Edmund Pettus bridge, seeing into the actual rooms that King occupied before his deathbut so much was just a repeat of what I saw in the news 50 years ago. A museum that's mostly test on the wall is perhaps better published as a bookAnd againas a tribute to King, it's great. But for civil rights in general, it gives short shrift to many While I didn't read every word in the museum, I noted only 2 references each for Medgar Evers, Malcolm, X, Elijah Muhammed I didn't see Bobby Seale anywhere, Muhammed Ali gets one mention in the ""black arts and culture"" corridor GilScott Heron gets 2, not that I think he doesn't deserve them. Barbara Jordannowhere.Perhaps my discomfort is fueled in part by the sick feeling I got from revisiting so much of the racism that was endemic in the America of my youth. HoweverI've been to the national AfroAmerican Cultural Center and Museum in Wilberforce, Ohio. It's a facility that is true to its namea full range of African American culture, presented in a museum format rather than as a forced march.

I think if Dr. MLK Jr. was alive he would be disappointed with the curator. At the very first room of the museum was that very well done informative exposition, but with an enormous bias that tries to input all fault of the slave trade to the ""evil"" Europeans who stimulates the tribal rivalities as they aren't there for years and years before the arrival of them. So, you go to a movie theater to see a propaganda movie w/ misleading information that minimizes the major discussion that happened between the founding fathers about slavery Benjamin Franklin was ouvertly against the slavery and the ""Slavery Question"" was kept open on the declaration of independence to be further solved, in pro to keep the union of the 13 colonies against England. Other misleading information was the emancipation proclamation did by Lincon. At the movie, the narrator minimizes it to a mere ""strategic war act"" from the north to destabilize the southern economy. Those are the most crying faults of the movie, but they were not the only ones.It is also interesting that there is no information that science has a long time refuted the concept of race in humans. Instead, the museum speech gives strength to this error. However, the museum collection is rich in photos and other audiovisual sources. The most emotional part to me was the ""I have a dream"" room. Hear the speech gave me goosebumps. I loved the Rose Parks room with the bus and the audio inside, it made me feel uncomfortable as it should be. The second part of the museum across the street showed no bias and I love when I heard at the final movie that the opposite of love isn't hate but, indifference.I noticed that was no whites working at the museum, I don't know if it was an unfortunate coincidence.At the end, I was in doubt if I should buy any merchandise to the gift shop and support that vision.Summarizing: The goal to promote tolerance was a far way to be reached, the message of integration as Dr. MLK jr. wanted was not at the aim of exposition." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg55197d105742r523258130NationalCivilRightsMuseumLorraineMotelMemphisTennessee.html,Date of experience: September 2017,United States,Tennessee TN,Memphis,"Tulsa, Oklahoma","Great Museum, Missing One Very Important Piece of Information","One of the best historical museums I have ever visited.

While the museums focus is more on the civil rights protests during the 50s and 60s, it also has fascinating historical information on slavery since the 1600s through todays less obvious issues of racism with not just blacks but also other nationalities facing frustrating obstacles that contradict some of the principles our country was founded on. Unfortunately we did not have enough time to thoroughly visit the 2nd part of the museum across the street although we understood it was more focused on todays issues for new immigrants to the US.

I have yet to hear back from them. To whom it may concern,I am a 4th and 5th grade public school teacher who visited your museum this summer. I would like to write to you today to share some of my thoughts about my experience while attending this museum with friends this summer. To begin, there were several great things I took away from this experience. The constant moving around the museum, as well as the tactile experiences of reenacting the tea being thrown into the harbor, were really engaging experiences. I attended this museum with an 8 year old, and he loved this part of it. I also really appreciated how the museum laid out the chain of events that occured after the tea party. Within the context provided by the museum experience, it was clear to participants the importance and incredible risk this act posed during Colonial times for those involved. Although there were things I enjoyed about the museum experience, two things deeply bothered me. The first was the fact that as participants in the museum, we were given feathers, so that if need be, we could disguise ourselves as Mohawk Indians. I know that this is a historically accurate representation of this event, and I understand that a major purpose of this museum experience is to reenact, with as many layers of authenticity as possible, the events that took place in Boston Harbor that night. That being said, we do not live in a vacuum. We live in a broader historical context. It is 2018. I can see no way to justify having an audience made up of people living in the year of 2018 reenact the racism of the past. I did talk to my tour guide about this, and this guide did say that the disguise at the time was not meant to offend or disrespect the Mohawk tribe. She also said that none of the colonists had ever met a member of the Mohawk tribe before deciding to dress in this costume with a feather. She said they chose to use the feathers because it was an important symbol to the tribe. I would like to know more about your sources for this information, because I am skeptical of it. If indeed the colonists were not intending to disrespect the Mohawk Tribe with their disguise which I find hard to believe, considering the tense and bad relationship that existed at that time between colonists and Native Americans it is still a racist act, even considering the context of 1773. Even more so, in 2018, this act is incredibly racist. Other visitors of the museum were wearing their feathers in their hair during the tour. How would a person of Native descent feel about experiencing this part of the museum How is it ok to let people engage in a racist act wearing feathers in an attempt to look like a Native American so that they can ""better experience"" the event of the Boston tea party It is not ok, and it misinforms the public. People could very easily leave this experience feeling that it is ok to make light of both this treatment towards and false representation of Native Americans. The second topic I was bothered by was a topic completely left out of the whole museum experience the topic of slavery. How can a museum about Colonial America fail to include the topic of slavery I understand that slavery was different in the Northern colonies compared to the Southern colonies. However, it was an essential part of Colonial America. You cannot understand Colonial America without considering it as a whole, and slavery is too huge a piece to leave out. It may be an uncomfortable topic to discuss, especially considering how the colonists were comparing themselves as slaves to Britain during this time this was a quote I heard during my museum experience, but it is a necessary topic to include. Omitting it not only blatantly misinforms the public, but also wastes an opportunity to explore some of the unpleasant and contradictory truths about the American fight for independence from Britain. I write this to you because we can do better. We must do better. As a museum intended to educate the public, these two points I raised are highly problematic and must be taken into consideration. I write this as an educator, but also as a person who attended this museum with people of color, and specifically a young person of color. How do you think he felt about this museum experience How do you think other people of color would feel If we continue to perpetuate misperceptions about groups of people, specifically groups of people of color, racism and ignorance will also be perpetuated. As educators, it is our duty to address racism and ignorance. Your museum experience perpetuated this. I write this to you in hopes that you will take my criticism seriously so that you can improve your museum experience for all potential museum visitors." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg60763d136145r634014607MuseumofChineseinAmericaNewYorkCityNewYork.html,Date of experience: November 2018,United States,New York NY,New York City,"Boulder, Colorado",Small but interesting museum with a powerful story to tell,"This museum had been on my todo list for some years and I am glad I finally got to visit.

It is a powerful story that frankly should embarrass and shame white Americans I am one, with unfortunately true illustrations of truly horrible racism that persisted from the eighteenth century until long into the twentieth century.

The permanent exhibit takes you through the history of the Chinese people and influence in America. It is both illuminating and frustrating in showing the racism and xenophobia Chinese people faced when coming to America. With the current tone of our politics reflecting the same animus that greeted Chinese folks in the past this history is vital. The exhibit explicitly discusses how the struggle for a just society has been composed of all marginalized folks organizing together and it is a lesson that we would do well to carry into the future.There is also an exhibit on Chinese medicine in America that is great. This exhibit isn't permanent so you have to catch it before it leaves. They do a great job in discussing the false dichotomy between what we call ""western medicine"" and Chinese medicine. This exhibit also has great visual appeal as well as primary source material that is a wonder to look at. The artwork in the exhibit is evocative and really does seem to visualize the concept of qi. Learning the roots of Chinese medicine and seeing the latest developments in its practice has made me more curious about it and determined to explore more.The other traveling exhibit is a recreation of the Kam Wah Chung Co. General Store. In this exhibit, you step into what the store itself looked like during the gold rush. You also learn about the business savvy and medical practice of the store owners. It does an excellent job of telling you how people who were barred from participating in just about every part of the economy and society were able to create a place for themselves and contribute to the health, wealth, and culture of the nation even while they were under racist restrictions.The gift shop also has some sweet merch and good books.

But the tour of the museum is also like taking a short college course in the history of the entire civil rights movement from the days of slavery and Jim Crow to the current state of American race relations. The tour is weakest on the latter; strongest on the era of Martin Luther King, Jr. The museum is run with diligent professionalism; all the staff we met were extremely glad we could come. My high school students took away memories for a lifetime. The tour guides were very knowledgeable, but had trouble answering some detailed questions.

It spoke about a nonviolent movement, but the exhibits and guided tour aroused in me violent feelings of injustice. In that sense, the effects of the museum were ironic. The museums approach to the telling of stories was brute and lacked a gentle and compassionate viewpoint and approach. There appeared to be no recorded firsthand accounts from the black or white middle class or black or white protesters at the events covered. For example, note the four who started the Woolworths sitin in 1960 in Greensboro: there was a dramatic reenacting on video and a life size dioramaan account of a second hand account. Instead, I would have loved to hear audio or video recordings of what middle class black and white people saw and thought at the time of the happenings: for example, recordings of people alive now that were at the front lines and of how they felt. There appeared to be none of that. The approach of this museum is very similar to how mainstream historical societies or museums tell mainly one side of the race storywhen they do not talk about or they gloss over the plight of African Americans and African American slaves their descendants. Similarly, this museum does the same thing from the opposite end of the spectrum and does not tell about the opposing views, especially the nuanced views of the antagonist or adversary. Thus, this contained a predominantly one sided display about race relations. The result of the museum was a classic race baiting. The museum generated a sense of fear and anger more than it bridged any understanding between the races. Also, the museum simplified things when it was much deeper and complicated than that because there are many gray areas in the issues of relations between blacks and whites. The museum displayed the appalling outcomes of race relations by showing television news video snippets, pictures of brutal occurrences and protesters, displays of newspaper articles and classified ads. Displays were on angular signs, in dimly lit and in relatively narrow halls, further evoking a sense of adversity, fear, anger perhaps even rage to the museum visitor. As examples, it showed the actual Woolworth lunch counter which took up about 3,000 square of space in the museum which seemed to take up a lot of physical space. Also, there was a display of a police baton and a Ku Klux Klan outfit. These type of displays served as icons for the oppression of colored peoples, namely blacks. However, the museum didnt elaborate about the not as sensational and television newsworthy day to day experiences of how the middle class whites and blacks felt, which probably needed their implicit approval or disapproval, or lack of direct inquiry or research in order for the race relations status quo to get worse or stay the same. For example, how did middle class blacks and whites feel about the insidious effects on both blacks and whites of white flight, panic peddling, block clubs, blockbusting, mandatory busing, mandatory desegregation and white loss How did the people who didnt attend protests and who didnt display mob behaviors feel Furthermore, how did middle class white people feel when the police that normally patrolled their neighborhood went to patrol areas where blacks were moving into white areas How did middle class white people feel when desegregation and bussing was forced verse when desegregation in schools and bussing were optional How did middle class black people feel to have moved into a white neighborhood and find dozens of white protesters in front of his house and telling him to move How did middle class black people feel when police officers came to protect the white protesters verses protect the middle class black person from the white people as exemplified in the Calumet Park Riot of 1957The museum didnt appear to denote the nuances and differences of institutionalized racism, civil rights movement and racism in general. For example, the docent said people that were not white were considered colored, but it did not say many colored people were mistaken for white people on public transportation. As another example, it was really confusing to see an image of Mohammed Ali when he didnt support civil rights movement or its agenda at all, around 1971. This museum does a disservice to enhancing the race relations discussion; however, this museum is a great instrument of race baiting. And for that alone, it is worth visiting to see how the masses are educated to be distrustful of the other race.Other means the other race that one is not part of. For example, if you are black the other race is white. If you are white, the other race is black. If you are mixed race, the other race is white." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg60845d1798732r282145115InternationalCivilRightsCenterMuseumGreensboroNorthCarolina.html,Date of experience: June 2015,United States,North Carolina NC,Greensboro,"Durham, North Carolina","Informative, Challenging, Engaging, Motivating","This is one of the best museums I have ever visited.

You proceed through the museum with a guide and cannot take a selfguided tour. The general areas/themes are: 1 the famous 1960 Greensboro lunch counter sit in; 2 the ""look"" of racism and segregation in the US in transportation, education, public accomodations, etc; 3 a brief overview of key events in the struggle for civil rights. A fourth area just one room quickly touched on civil rights struggles in other countries.For me, there were two high points. The first was being able to see the actual lunch counter where this seminal event took place the museum is located in the actual Woolworths store. The other was an interactive display of the hundreds of lunch counter sit ins that occurred throughout the Southeast within only two months of the Greenboro sit in. Without email, texting, Facebook, etc. this movement spread rapidly and this is shown through a compelling interactive map.At the same time, I gave this museum average ratings for several reasons.1. Because you must see the museum on a tour, the tour is greatly influenced by the quality of the guide. Our guide tended to go through the information in a monotone and very quickly. Also, you must go through at the pace of the tour.2. Assuming you were given time to explore, there is not that much to explore. While the museum can be useful for someone new to the topic who wants a brief overview, there is little for someone who wants additional information.3. To describe this museum as ""international"" is a bit of a stretch despite the brief info on other civil rights struggles in other parts of the world.This museum would be good for school groups even though some images are extremely distrurbing and graphic and teachers/parents should be given a ""heads up"" and those wanting a cursory introduction to the topic. For me, having seen the much more in depth civil rights museum in Memphis, TN, this was mildly interesting, mainly because it provided some depth on the Greensboro sit ins.The tour lasts an hour and, unless you like gift shops, this is a 90 minute visit tops. It is also nice to stroll Elm Street in downtown Greensboro to look at the art deco buildngs and other architecture." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg60864d8028353r466163906Lower9thWardLivingMuseumNewOrleansLouisiana.html,Date of experience: February 2017,United States,Louisiana LA,New Orleans,"Bristol, United Kingdom","Important, overlooked history","I'm from the North of England and I was 14 when Katrina hit. I remember the news coverage, but at the time New Orleans felt impossibly far away, and I'm not sure, even as an adult, that I ever really appreciated the extent of the damage. And although I knew that it was mostly workingclass, black residents who'd been the worst hit, and that police racism had been a feature of the aftermath, I didn't know the extent. It made me very angry.The area is pretty easy to get to you can walk, if you're up for it, through Bywater and over the bridge. Or you can get the bus, which I did. The neighbourhood still shows signs of the damage done by Katrina it was very quiet when I visited, with plots of land notably empty. The museum itself is easy to find, and I was the only visitor when I arrived. The lady on the desk was very nice she left me to look around, and took a long time to answer my questions afterwards.There've been one or two comments about whether this museum encourages disaster tourism. It's always a bit of an ethical dilemma, and I confess to feeling slightly uncomfortable as a foreigner visiting an area devastated by Katrina in order to try to understand something that really, I don't think I'll ever be able to. However, I thought the museum got it spot on. It's not sensationalistic, and I thought the sections on the long history of the neighbourhood as a distinct, culturally vibrant centre for AfricanAmerican residents was a necessary counterbalance to the sections on the damage done by Katrina and the ongoing struggle to rebuild the neighbourhood. By emphasising the amount of community pride in the area, the museum avoids propagating a onedimensional stereotype of a ruined, dangerous neighbourhood, and I thought the balance between acknowledging the damage done and the positive sides of the neighbourhood was very sensitively handled. The most shocking thing was the racism. The police shootings, and the white residents of Algiers Point who took it upon themselves to shoot black people seeking refuge. It was heartbreaking and a very welcome reminder to anyone who thinks that racism is dead and buried. I also visited the Presbytere, because I was intrigued to see whether this history would be acknowledged in a more official exhibition. Bar one small section, it wasn't which speaks volumes.

The 3rd floor exhibits, primarily focussed on human rights struggles through history and across the globe.

If anything, the exhibits overcompensate in trying to be objective, playing down just how awful segregation and racism have been.

I was there four about 2 and 1/2 hours.The in depth way the Civil Rights Movement was presented was moving; including the timeline progression from separate but equal to civil unrest, the March on Washington, to the struggle culminating with federal desegregation and the pushback from those bigoted individuals in some states against the federal mandate. I loved that it had a talking tour that you can borrow from the guest services office in exchange for your driver license, which they return to you when you return the device I guess a lot of people don't ask for it, I think I was the only one who had one while I was there; it was really helpful in explaining the items contained within as well as the background behind the design of the exhibits to achieve a desired effect. I think they should update the tour device to allow the listener to stop, pause and rewind a particular section and that they should advertise it so that more people know about it. The lunch counter experience was intense. I did notice that some of the headsets were not working, but when I found one that did, I was able to get the full effect of probably just a fraction of the vile and hateful things those individuals who took part in the sitins experienced. I wanted to cry just knowing that all those brave individuals went through some of the most horrible things another human can do to another to allow me the freedom today to go about my life with little to no overt racism being experienced. It really caused me to check myself for taking these freedoms for granted that were not allowed to someone of my race less than 70 years ago in this country. While the museum did discuss the current human and civil rights battles taking place throughout the world, I was disappointed to not see any reference to the current racial tension in America including the murders of Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, Michael Brown Jr., to name a few of the wellknown cases, by those individuals who have sworn to protect and to serve the citizens of their respective parishes police officers. Do I believe that today in any way resembles the Civil Rights era, no, but I do believe there seems to be a general devaluing of human life by America in general and a devaluing of the lives of people of color by law enforcement specifically. This should be touched on in a ""Center for Civil and Human Rights"" museum as the human rights of citizens to live without fear of death by a person who is only separated from you or I by a uniform it's a job, say, like a sanitation worker are infringed upon time and time again with little to no recourse.

I especially appreciated how museum didn't just leave it at ""things are all great now and racism is gone"" and instead used the history of the civil rights struggle in the U.S. to transition to the larger topic of human rights as it exists today. The curators and designers did a terrific job of tell history and keeping the narrative current to today.My only slight criticism is the exhibit actively downplays the history of segregation and racism in Georgia and Atlanta compared to other southern states every chance it gets, which makes me question the authenticity of that claim.

The quad bikes are easy to operate even for someone like myself who has never ridden a motorcycle or a quad bike before. It took me two minutes to master the controls, and the quick tutorial was friendly and helpful.

There was some embarrassed laughter from members of another party from Gauteng. I was stunned. My mates and I didn't respond, in the moment. Later, after a stop at an historic graveyard on the farm, he said loudly, within earshot of the whole group which included children: ""Ek weet nie wat gaan die kaffirs hiermee maak nie dit trakteer hulle nie"" ""I don't know what the kaffirs are going to do with this it's not a treat to them.""He made reference to the hope that the family would win the lottery so that they could buy the farm...I can only assume that they are leasing the farm, or that the farm is subject to a land claim or similar. In any case, I came for a tour. I did not come to have bigotry and racism inflicted on me. I was on holiday, and wanted to enjoy my day, or I'd have been tempted to confront the owners and guide when we got back to the farm. This kind of behaviour is unacceptable frankly I'm gobsmacked.

We are amazed about the exclusively exquisite wines from this winery and was planning to purchase few good bottles back. Unfortunately we were totally gutted about our tasting experience which left us with no choice to leave the winery with empty hand.1.Firstly, we were served with a glass of white wine. I politely asked the Cellar Door lady if that's ok for me to read through the label at the back of the bottle so that I would know more about the background of this wine. I am not joking she gave me an annoyed face an eye roll and said to me ""There's nothing written on the back of the bottle, you should read the menu provided onsite."" I do not understand whats the problem for me to read through the description at the back of the bottle If the label wasnt set for customers to read so whats the point for putting a label on the bottle2.During the tasting, weve made some comments about 2 of the red wines. At some point the Cellar Door lady revealed to us that she is the wine maker and warned us to be careful when making our comments of her wines. I said to her wine is something personal and please dont be offend, our friends were just chatting about how they feel but not criticising anyone or anything. If a winemaker cannot take any feedback from the customers, what makes her a good winemaker Not to mention we werent saying something bad, all we were saying is which one we like the most because of the characteristic3.Few minutes later, one of my friends came out from the ladies' room and wanted to express her fondness for the wine logo design. Unexpectedly the Cellar Door Lady said to my friend, "" Yeah, but I dont want to see my wines to be sold in China. This is Racism. I could not believe its still happening in 2019 this generation with all high educated people around! Of course we are a group from different countries of Asia, Hong Kong, China, Malaysia and Singapore, most of us have been living in New Zealand over 5 years. The goal of this road trip is to bring 3 of our WSET students Award in Wines Spirits Level 2 to understand more about Central Otagos wine but turned out it was a disaster. We do not accept this kind of behavior, with someone trying to criticize us just because we are not a New Zealander. It's offputting to see a cellar door lady who was not appreciated of Asians visit. This is racism, discrimination which should not be happened in a democratic country, NEW ZEALAND.Before posting this review on Tripadvisor, I have contacted Desert Heart wines@desertheart.co.nz to ask for a feedback as I want to give them the benefit of doubt. It could be a miscommunication or what I am not sure. Unfortunately, theres no response until now so I would like to warn all the Asian Travelers, have a second thought before paying a visit to this Winery. You do not deserve to be treated differently because of your colour of skin or speak in a different language ironically, we all spoke in English during the tasting experience.

I couldn't get in. Why Because I was with an Indian friend. Yes. Because I was with an Indian friend. Six people total. Two were admitted first paying of course the entrance fee. The next two were my Indian friend and I; I had the cash out to pay for the both of us. We were rejected. I don't speak Thai so at first did not understand why. Then my Indian friend only him was pulled aside discretely and no less reprehensibly and told that he must go to the toilet to wash because of a ""bad smell"". I had to convince my friend that these absolute pieces of trash were in fact being racist. This determination of foul odor was made on a basis of sight, unequivocally, as I was the one who approached the cashier, not him. I confronted the doorman about this by asking directly ""do I smell good enough to get in""; to which he responded directly ""yes you are no problem."" My Indian friend then confronted him by asking ""why do you have a problem with me""; to which he responded ""I cannot speak to you."" Yes folks, I wish I was making this up. I spent a good while staring at the door staff in disbelief and shaking my head in disgust, hoping they would be able to realize how toxic they are as human beings, as well as how absolutely morally repugnant their employers are yes YOU MIXX. Unlike many of my friends and colleagues, I am not so optimistic about the nature of other human beings. However, I find that this often plays in my favor as I am usually more pleasantly surprised by acts of humanity and benevolence. Even with my low standards of the human experience, this takes the cake. It's absolutely sickening and I hope that anyone involved will not be able to sleep at night on account of their own toxic miasma that they bring to this planet. As a cynic, I know that they WILL sleep well, making the commission on all the beautiful and perfect smelling people they do let in. So please Mixx, if you actually give a damn about other human beings like yourselves, you will know to fire immediately those working at your door between 2 and 3 AM early September 8 2018 3 females, 1 male, approximately. Failing that, you can go ahead and extinguish yourself from this already foul planet. Don't be a part of this garbage that turns human freaking beings against one another.

A few Korean places. At least two black clubs and a handful of Indian clubs.I can't go in those clubs.So I don't try. I go to the clubs where I AM welcome.At the end of the day, the club owners want a club with a mixture of races, not one that's predominately white, Indian or black.

Previous to this the people of Bangkok to us were warm and friendly. MIXX is a different story altogether.When we got to one entrance the hostess gave us a look up and down and told us that this is a VIP only section and we should go to the other entrance. This is when alarm bells started ringing because as far as I know from partying all over the world, VIP sections only mean paying a lot more for space, comfort and bottle service. So my question is why did she not volunteer the information on what the VIP section was all aboutAnyway we humbly made our way to the next section where we were again denied entrance. The rather rude hostess on this side said that the club only admits regulars. WHAT That is the most illogical excuses that I have ever heard in my life. Ask yourself, to become a regular don't you have to start by entering the club at least once Utter nonsense.My friends once hearing this excuse got quite agitated and started noticing that something was clearly wrong. It was not a matter of dress code as we saw client upon client who were rather underdressed in our opinion being admitted in.When we demanded a clear explanation the hostess then changed her mind and said that the club was totally full and could not admit any more people in. So were the people we were seeing walking in GhostsI am not one to pull out the race card or the ""is it because I am black card"" but after reading the reviews on this place and experiencing it myself it is clear that MIXX has certain prejudice issues which they hide under ""Management Reserves the rights for Admission"".MIXX is clearly a place that will judge you by the color of your skin as there is no other explanation whatsoever as to why certain people cannot be let in. Its 2016 for Gods sake and for the first time in my life and travels across the world, it took a visit to MIXX to let me know that in some sectors of the world racism is alive and kicking.My friends and I eventually decided to keep calm and walk away knowing that if that was how we were going to be treated on the outside who knows what could have happened if we went inside.Oh and by the way...we happen to be very big spenders when we go clubbing wherever we are in the world, glad that we took our money somewhere else where we are appreciated." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg293916d4463396r330624555MixxDiscothequeBangkokBangkok.html,Date of experience: March 2015,Asia,Thailand,Bangkok,unknown,Racist club / boycott InterCon and Holiday Inn,"I've been let in quite a few times at Mixx.

I went there with my wife, I was allowed access without any issue, like other previous guests has commented that the staff is racist, I didn't find any racism. dark and dingy place, bit rundown and smells of smoke.Different rooms were playing different music, decided to settle in one of the room, wasn't too crowded when we arrived at 11:30 pm, we were refused to sit in a lounge area, the security guard told us that this area is reserved so we ended up sitting next to the dance floor which was still empty. Everytime I bought a drink at the bar I was given a free drink I assume they thought that I am accompanied by a local girl and they gave me free drinks. My wife doesn't drink alcohol so great more for me.After I finished my first drink the security guard keep pushing me to buy another drink and literally he was forcing to buy drinks, i got upset and told him I will buy drink when I feel like, after that he didn't bothered us.We were there for few hours I bought myself five double Chivas Regal on ice and got five for free. Slowly the place started to get busy and you could clearly notice that the majority of the girls there were prostitutes both locals and Russian ethnicity and looking for business.After dancing for little while we left the place around 1:45 am, it was busy at that time but for whatever reason wasn't too comfortable and didn't really feel like staying. Saying that we were not uncomfortable due to the staff or security as commented by some visitors.I don't think that I will ever go back, next time we might some other place." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg293916d4463396r239727093MixxDiscothequeBangkokBangkok.html,Date of experience: August 2014,Asia,Thailand,Bangkok,unknown,Racists Racist Racist,"Thailand is known for its warm culture and most welcoming locals... but I'm shocked at their racism .. Mixx Pattaya and Bangkok both do not allow ppl of my religion to enter the night club both in Bangkok and Pattaya..I have travelled the world in Business Class and attended events like the FIFA world cup in Brazil and Tomorrowland in Belgium but I am shocked to know that I face racism in a place like Thailand where the people are known for their hospitality. Though, I am an Indian Sikh by religion and my religion does not allow me to shave my beard or cut my hair but I am well travelled and I know how to carry my self in public. Having said that.. when I reach the entrance of the night club the gentleman at the entry stops me and tells me that I need to shave my beard and cut my hair if i need to enter the club in pattaya. Though I was deeply shocked and saddened by their attitude, I decided not to make a fuss and leave instead of spoiling my night not to mention that I am in a foreign country. I thought that this could be a single call they must have taken because of some nuisance that may have been caused by some drunk countrymen misunderstanding the definition of fun ...!! What really shocked me is that when I tried to go to the MIXX discotheque in Bangkok this was the same kind of response that I got form the gentleman at their door as well ... He told me that that there was no place inside at 11.30 in the night but graciously let a few foreigners enter the club right in front of me... If u really want to filter the crowd put up a minimum entry of buying a bottle if u want to enter or just put up a BIG sign saying that Indians are not allowed. I work hard for the money that I earn and the only reason why i like coming back to Thailand is the fact that everyone is smiling and welcoming.... but if u really don't want me.

It stays open until 5.306am under normal circumstances. Currently there are a few restrictions on opening hours due to the political situation and it has been forced to close around 3am.There's a nominal door fee some nights I think 350 baht for guys and free for girls is the most I've every paid. That gets you entry and one drink.Once inside, the security and waiting staff are pretty attentive. There is very rarely any trouble there. Clientele covers tourists, expats and locals. Most but not ALL of the female customers are 'working'... Therefore don't assume the girl you're talking to is a hooker, she might very well be someone's girlfriend. Drink prices are reasonable. 3000 100 baht for a bottle of Absolute vodka with some mixers. That usually gets you a table with very comfy sofas.The club is split into two a smoking room that usually plays dance music, and a nonsmoking room that plays chart and hip hop. This is usually the busiest room and the one I prefer as a non smoker.There has been a lot written about the door policy and racism. Having worked in club security before, I might be able to shed some light on that.Anyone who has been inside Mixx will have seen it's a very multicultural place. There are white, black, Asian and Arab guests. However, you will notice there isn't a predominance of any one race. It's quite balanced I've partied in there with ALL races.If a club gets a reputation for being an 'Indian' club, other nationalities won't go. Likewise if it's labelled a 'Black', 'Asian' or 'White' club, it tends to lose other races who don't feel comfortable.Therefore, the management strive to balance the clientele. If the club already has a large number of Indian guys inside and a group of nine more rocks up, the bouncers make a judgment call.And do other people just walk in Sure! Regulars, locals, big spenders, hot girls... It's just business.Is it fair No...

He said it was a directive from the police and crowd control. While we were listening to him and trying to follow as we had just been to other discos and they all welcomed us, it became clear what was really happening. Right behind us was a huge group of white people and they were all let in, infact welcomed. I confronted the manager he said 'some people can enter as big groups and YOU cannot'. Racist behaviour and extremely rude to non whites. Sir i would like to bring this issue out in your papers.

Ive been living in Madrid for a month now as an English teacher and have dealt with some insane amounts of racism and have kept it from my family back home but today was just the icing on the cake. A friend of mine and her girlfriends were visiting from France and some after we had some tapas and visiting a couple of places, we decided to check this place out. When we arrived, there was a line and we stood in it as is normal but the bouncers let everyone in but when it was our turn, he pulled the 4 of us out of line and asked about our invitation. The ladies thought it was strange he didnt ask anyone else for invitations but I already knew what it was; I was the WRONG COLOR. But, rather than jump to conclusions, we found someone with an invitation and joined him, but once again were pulled out of line. I tried speaking to the bouncers in Spanish, trying to ask what the problem was but they insisted that they couldnt understand what I was saying. So I motioned to speak to them in English which I knew they spoke but they once again acted as though they couldnt understand me. It was clear that my SKIN COLOR was the problem but because they kept asking my group specifically about our invitation, my friends went up to talk to them after I had a heated conversation with them which was profanity laced. They told my female friends ALL WHITE that they could come in but I wasnt allowed in there. They had no problem acknowledging their racism. Once I started screaming and telling everyone how racist they were, they called for their black employee and pointed at him saying how can we be racist, we have a black guy working in here . I will never visit this establishment ever again not that I can lol and want to make sure my white friends out of respect for me, never visit this place.

However the classy party royalty in me took over.Through out my frequent travels, I had always insisted on partying at the most exclusive clubs and lounges..from Dubai,London,New York, Houston,Boston,Atlanta,Las Vegas,Miami........etc I had always partied with the most select crowd, so I decided I ll confirm if the profiling in Teatro is about race or about setting a bar.. I have always had that chip on my shoulder when I turn out in my designer ""flyness"" and my ""Naija swag"" and of course that Black American Express card was definitely going to swing me past any unwanted scrutiny. It was everything I expected, ushered in swiftly, presented my VIP pass and was immediately swept in to the party frenzy. Being a hip hop, RB and Afrobeat head I surprised myself at how much I rocked to Latin and Spanish beats on the main floor. Music was spiced up with a healthy dose of hip hop tunes from drake,Chris Brown and other heavy hitters. The Spanish Chica Bonitas were friendly, seriously feeling a ""fly homie""and the partying/getting down was nonstop....... Explored all 7 floors up to the smoke lounge at the top.Of course spent a considerable time at the Hip Hop RnB floors where some of the old school joints got me really nostalgic.

I was with a group of 10 people, which was a mix of Latinos and AfricanAmericans. I had read reviews about Kapital before going, and I knew it had a history of racism, but thought I would take a chance. I was the person who made my group's reservation, and I showed the confirmation email to both bouncers. I'm an AfricanAmerican woman from the U.S., but I can speak Spanish, I was dressed pretty nicely, and I was with a group of girls, so I have a feeling that's why I got in. All the AfricanAmerican men that I was with tried to get in, but were told that they ""weren't dressed nicely enough"". However, several white boys were wearing things objectively worse than they were, and they got in without a problem. Kapital uses their ""strict dress code"" as a way to discriminate against prospective patrons. If you are a person of color, not a Spanish speaker or you are not wearing something you would wear to a wedding, then there is a 99 you won't get in. In any case, I would strongly recommend NOT going to Kapital because I find it morally bankrupt, and people shouldn't support an organization that is clearly racist and colorist. There are plenty of clubs and bars in Spain, so I would suggest going to another one. If you DO decide to go, there are several things you should know. The ""free entry"" thing is a scam. If you make a reservation, the confirmation code you receive in an email is a discount, where you can get two drinks for 17 euros. It isn't possible to get in without paying. Once inside, I also realized that the ""7 dance floors"" they heavily promote is also a scam. There are at most 3 dance floors, and each one has a bar looking over it. There is also a lounge upstairs. The first floor is the largest, and plays a combination of Spanish music, pop music, and EDM. The second dance floor is on the fourth floor and plays ""RB and hip hop music"", but it's often a hit or miss. They play music by black people and thinks it falls into that category, but half of it isn't really music you can dance to. The 6th floor is the Latino music floor, which was okay. It isn't nearly as extraordinary as they advertise it, and honestly is not the worth the time or stress." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg187514d190566r566264271TeatroKapitalMadrid.html,Date of experience: December 2017,Europe,Spain,Community of Madrid,unknown,"Racist, abusive staff!","My boyfriend and I had an awful experience at this place. It is worth noting that I am a white, well spoken and well presented British female, and as such am lucky enough not to be exposed to racist behaviour often. My boyfriend is a well mannered, well presented and educated Brazilian national who has lived in the UK for 27 years, he booked us tickets for this club as special surprise for me and when we arrived he approached the bouncers and showed them the tickets, he was waved to the back of the long line for us to queue up, so like polite British people we did as he said despite the booked tickets. In front of us were a group of scruffily dressed tracksuit bottoms, tshirts and trainers early 20s males who got in without a problem, when we got to the front of the queue, my boyfriend once again politely presented the tickets and was roughly ushered towards the other bouncer, who proceeded to demand to see his passport which is British incidentally and then asked tell him to undo his jacket and show him what he was wearing a smart polo shirt, Chinos and smart trainers he then looked at him in digust and said in 'There's a dress code in here, this isn't smart enough' and told him that we could not come in and that was final. I was disgusted at how rude he was and at this clearly false reason for not allowing him entry, and now having read some more reviews on the club it would seem that they have a problem with anyone resembling Middle Eastern or South American heritage.

I visited Madrid the last 5 days of a 2 week trip to Spain in July 2015. We tried to visit at least 1 nightclub in each city as I do everywhere I travel. I checked TripAdvisor for reviews and narrowed it down to a few places...Kapital being one of them. Most of the reviews I glanced at seemed OK except for a few mentioning the staff possible being racist....and mostly complai nts of a 20 cover charge being too expensive. We thought we'd see for ourselves, so we got dressed up and headed over. When we arrived I noticed the clientele milling around out front. Not too impressive, average looking dressed a little to casual for what I'm used to at a popular nightclub in a major city. It was a Thursday night so I decided to give them a pass on that one. When we walked up the bouncers looked at us and proceeded to say 50 euro EACH to enter. That's about 54. Let me preface by saying i have NEVER been charged to get in ANY nightclub, let alone 54! I've not been charged in New York City, Los Angeles, Miami or even Las Vegas! So I certainly wasn't going to let a club that lets females wearing jean shorts and flip flops in, charge me 54. Im sure THEY did not pay 50 euro for entry. So apparently even though we could get in the most exclusive nightclubs elsewhere, we were not of the ""type"" that appeals to this place. Before they could open their mouths to say anything else i flagged down the next cab driving by and headed to Joy. They had a cover of 12 euro which included a cocktail and gogo dancers.

We initially thought we'd misheard but our Portuguese guide had been taking us to various bars earlier told us that he had stated very clearly that it was because of the colour of our skin.

Called the bar ahead of time to ask about the dress code and was told that it's ""casual, everyday wear"". Arrived in 2 separate cabs. 3 of us got into the club, no problem and they charged us 12 euros each. Inside the club, girls were wearing adidas sneakers and guys were in tshirts and jeans. In our group of 3, 2 of us had hats on and were told to take them off. We coatchecked the hats for 1 euro each. The second cab had 2 of our friends one who was black and the other brown. They arrived 5 minutes after us and were told they couldn't come in if they weren't on guest list. When they told the bouncers their friends arrived less than 10 minutes ago, the bouncers told them to go to the side door but they couldn't get in through the front. They proceeded to the side door and the bouncers there told them it was 250 euros EACH. They refused to pay. It was around 1:30 AM at this time and the club was less than half full. We decided to pay our bills and leave, however I asked to speak to the manager to find out exactly why our friends were refused entry. When the manager came out, he told me that it was ""up to the doormen and they can charge anywhere from 12 euros to 250 euros"". I was really calm as we didn't wanna start trouble in a new city. I told him ""I don't want to cause any trouble, I just want to know why they were charged 20 times the price we were charged"". He said ""you have to talk to the doorman, I don't have any answers for you."" I was confused, as the manager of the bar had no answers and seemed to just tell me that it was up to them whether they would let someone in based on their skin color. I told him ""ok I'm sorry to hear that, I just wanted a reason and to know that you weren't racist. We will be leaving now"". After getting my friends hats from coatcheck, we were about to leave. The manager came back up to me and told me ""I don't want you to think I'm racist because we have one black guy working here"". I said ""sir I'm not asking about your employees I just want to know why my friends were charged 20 times the price."" He said ""come we can go talk to the doorman but it is up to him. In Portugal the doormen can choose who they let in"". When we talked to the doorman he gave us the reason that ""your friends were dressed too sporty"". I said ""we got in with tshirts and jeans but my black friend in a sweater and black shoes and my brown friend in a dress shirt is too sporty"" He said ""your friends are borderline sporty, his tshirt is from adidas but we just let you guys in"". I told them that we called ahead of time and they told us ""casual everyday clothing"" but ""thank you and we're going to leave"". This place is full of racist employees who are on a power trip. They don't care about how they treat their customers. I wish we had read reviews ahead of time because seeing all the negative reviews, I would never have come to begin with! As a sidenote, beers are 4 euros for small cups and gin and soda is 6 euros. It's a tourist trap and not worth it. We went to Pink Street instead and there are so many bars that are full of locals and people drinking on the streets.I know that racism exists but I've never experienced something as blatant as this. I was outraged and wish that I had gotten the whole thing on video. We didn't want to start anything because we are smarter than that and it's not worth ruining the rest of our vacation. Never come here! It's not worth it and I would never want to support an organization like this full of racist management." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg189158d7374072r413347290KUrbanBeachLisbonLisbonDistrictCentralPortugal.html,Date of experience: September 2016,Europe,Portugal,Central Portugal,unknown,Racist club!

Violent unreasonable staff and the owner has an extreme 'God complex'!,"I'm a 31 year old female, we visited Lisbon as a group of 13 girls for a civilized hen do. We visited Urban Beach on the Saturday night. This club has a system whereby you are supposed to be given a card when you enter, which is then used as a tab whilst in the club, you then settle up when you leave. I didn't know this, as I was categorically not given a card when I entered. So when it came to leaving and they wanted my card, I didn't have one to give them and was really confused why they were getting angry with me. I assured them that I did not have a card. They demanded 50 otherwise I was not allowed to leave. I didn't have 50 and they wouldn't allow my friends to pay for me. They got extremely aggressive, they were racist and I was pinned to the ground at one point when I tried to explain that as a large group they clearly missed me out. One of my friends was pushed against a wall when she tried to help reason with them. A group of really kind British guys stepped in to help support me, one of them offered to pay for me to get out but he was immediately put in a headlock. I was ushered back into the club and was told not to come back out until 7am it was about 5am at this point, whilst back in the club very upset and shaken up by the whole thing I was followed around by bouncers with walkie talkies, I felt like a criminal and was incredibly humiliated! Meanwhile, my friends asked to see the manager, they were met by the owner, who resembled Count Dracula in his appearance, extremely intimidating and behaved like some sort of cruel dictator, absolutely consumed by power and getting a great deal of satisfaction by the level of helplessness he was inflicting! We were about to call the police but a group of Portuguese chaps, who were mortified by the behaviour of the bouncers, advised us not to bother, he said we would probably get arrested and they would have no ability to reason either. Eventually, they allowed my friend to pay them 50, which was received with a horrible smirk! After having such a fun night with my friends, my experience in this club was certainly not the icing on the cake, it was nothing short of disgusting and I would strongly advise anyone thinking of going here, male or female, to avoid it at all costs!" -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg189158d7374072r286878073KUrbanBeachLisbonLisbonDistrictCentralPortugal.html,Date of experience: July 2015,Europe,Portugal,Central Portugal,unknown,OMG!

When we got to the door the Rep was hiding behind the bouncer and the bouncer refused our entry saying that the club was full but if we made a reservation and paid 250 euros we could gain access to the club, this while the people queuing behind us where just being let in. From there we could see that the house wasn't even half full.I also saw that only white people was being let in while indians and dark skinned people where being turned away. A shameful behavior that shouldn't be tolerated but unfortunately it seems that they can get away with it. You can read the reviews of that place and we can see that this is a common practice for them.

My friends and I recently visited the club while on vacation in Frankfurt and as we were in the line I stepped out to talk to one of the guys ""in charge"". I asked him were they still letting people inside because I didn't see the line moving. He immediately said yes they are, but the bouncer chooses who he will let inside. I asked what that meant and he made a comment about them granting admission based on the crowd. I immediately asked if that meant that they were not letting in black people, as that is how the comment read to me. So I let it slide and get back in line because I figure we will just get to the door soon. They begin letting in groups of people and then when we get to the front of the line, the bouncer starts speaking to the man ""in charge"" in German and then he tells us that we can't get in. I ask why We have been standing in the line for 20 minutes IN THE COLD, so I wanted to know exactly why we weren't able to get in. He tells me he doesn't have to have a reason. I don't budge because I still would like to know what the problem is. He asked us to step to the side and says someone will be giving us a ticket. I ask a ticket for what He yells and says a ticket to come back next week which I'm sure was a lie. I tell him we don't want the ticket as we would not be returning, but I would like to know the reason we can't come in this night. Mind you, as he tells us we can't get in, they still let in groups of WHITE women that were behind us in line. So I ask why were they able to get in and we could not. Then call all these other men to come over. One gets directly in my face in a threatening manner and puts his hand in my face and tells me to move. At this point I felt super threatened. I told him don't ever put his hands on me. He continues and we are going back and forth. The ""in charge"" guy comes over and says that we can't get in and they don't have to have a reason. I ask repeatedly is it because we are black. Actually, I'm 100 sure it was because we are black, but it annoys me when RACISTS hide behind lies. He gives me the typical racist response ""my boss is black"" which I know is a lie. We eventually left but I would not recommend this establishment to ANYONE.

DONT LISTEN TO THE PROMOTERS THEYRE SELLING LIES. While queuing to get into the club as it opened we saw people getting turned away at the door and thought it was strange. We then got to the bouncer and we explained that we were on the LUX guest list and he replied saying that two of us can go free but the other three had to pay 20 entry fee. This was annoying as it is an extortionate amount to pay to get into a bar and we had been told that we wouldnt have to pay entry but we just split the 60 five ways and got on with it. We went into the club after texting the LUX promoters that we had arrived and they replied telling us to go to table 26/27 having never been to drama before and there were no table numbers this was a hassle in itself. We eventually found the table and saw people sitting there so we asked the man looking after the table if we had the right one and he said he would take us to our table soon but he was just serving drinks so we agreed and waited patiently. After about 20 minutes it became obvious that he wasnt going to help us so I said to him that we were still waiting for our table and he just replied youre sharing here and walked away. This was so frustrating as we were sharing a table with 3 other groups if not more so all of the free drinks with the table had been drank and there was no seating left at all. That was all within the first hour of being there and it only disappointed me more as the night went on! The promoters were rude, the atmosphere was pretentious, there is blantant racism on display, the drink prices are extortionate 50 for three drinks!, the list goes on...

They should know that obviously many tourists prefer not to carry their passports with them at all times, especially when roaming around locally in trains and taxis, that too heading out for a party at a nightclub! One could easily misplace it! So of course we'd left them back at the hotel in the safe. We then asked them, couldn't they accept our driving license as an ID proof They then diverted the issue and came up with a fresh problem your shoes ain't right, go around the corner, find a shop, buy new shoes and then come back. I'm not making this up, he literally said those exact words to me, all the while sheepishly avoiding eye contact. I had a minor suspicion we were being treated unfairly because of race/color, but this confirmed it. For the first time in my life i've encountered such rude behaviour, and we're well traveled. From US to Europe, nowhere have we ever encountered such horrible staff.

I asked them; ""so how do I make reservations for tomorrow"" The question threw them off and the bouncers mumbled something to the effect that we don't know and don't bother us.

I received no response via email so followed up with a call. During the phone call I was offered no apology which would be the professional thing to do upon the news of an initial complaint.

He insinuated 1500 is not a lot of money to spend in 2 hours 200 per person and even suggested I had no reason for complaint as the bill was paid for by one individual who was not me as if I spent no money so shouldnt complain that sensitive documents have been stolen by their door staff. I couldnt quite believe the tone I was faced with. He then sent me another email claiming to have checked the cctv and found the licences were handed back to us. Ok, if this is the case, but he then followed up with another email which completely contradicted this and asked me to provide a description of the door staff so he can find out if anyone is stealing them well if the cctv shows they were returned then why would you need these details When I was unable to provide a facial description of the doormen he then claimed that I obviously cannot remember whether they were returned. Obviously if James has checked the CCTV as claimed then he should also have an accurate description of who they were handed to and therefore not require one from me or my guests.

This club is racist, they choose who to let in at the door based on your face and skin colour. Ladies you could be wearing the most expensive heels on and the sexist dress, if your face doesn't cut it ... you won't get in and they make that quite clear at the door. This is regardless if you're on the guest list and promised to get in by a promoter. First occasion they just didn't let me and my girls in after waiting over an hour in about three different queues even though we were on the guest list. Me and my girls were looking glam and classy but I guess our Asian looks didn't cut it for the people at the door. We were simply told a ""no way you're not getting in"". We thought nothing of of it and just left Had s great night at dstrkt instead which I highly recommendThe second night trying to get in was yesterday. The promoter confirmed we were exclusively in his guest list! And to make sure we weren't double booked at any other club and promised an entry. Again waiting in the queue for over an hour ps there's an ""ugly queue"" on the opposite side of the road, so if you're ugly sadly you get asked to stand on the other side of the road . The only people in the actual queue getting in, were white blonde girls. The promoter kept promising us that we will get in and he battled our way to the main queue fighting with other promotors. When it was finally got our turn to get in, she again decided that we were to ugly clearly our skin colour wasn't to her fancy and told us we ain't coming in regardless. We waiting roughly an hour and half to once again get rejected for no reason. At this point I was fuming. It was absolutely absurd, we have never ever been treated like this before, even in clubs that are more high end then libertine. After I raised my voice calling the club racist and threatening to complain, the promoter spoke to the manager who finally let us obviously with a 20 pound entry. Pretty sure it's free if you're white and blonde. Now after the battle of getting in, it was difficult to have a good time, it was a very basic basic club, I honestly do not understand what the hype is about, overly packed with girls, hardly any room to breathe let alone dance, the venue itself was basic. Please do not come here. This club is such a waste of time. Dear people at the door. You're all a bunch of puppets, specially the lady at the door. You're rude. In fact you're very rude. You whispered to the promoter that were ugly, we heard you. You're pretty bad looking yourself. Dear libertine, honestly you need to calm the hype. You're club isn't all that at all. Ps you should allow more guys in to the balance the ratio, it was pretty boring looking at girls all night. Will never ever go there again and I'll make sure I'll let every one around me know." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg186338d2374842r407232846ChinawhiteLondonEngland.html,Date of experience: August 2016,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,unknown,RACIST,"Queued up at 10.30 on a Wednesday not exactly the busiest night, I am a white female, with a male friend who is black.

We waited outside for an hour whilst desperately trying to find the promoter we had 'booked' through only doing this because it was a birthday, the girls on the door mimicked a friend of mine and were being extremely rude. Classless, no need. All Whilst watching about another 50 guests get into the club, not on the guestlist queue, remember it doesn't exist!!! the promoter finally came out to tell us that the ladies on the door thought we looked 'untidy' when I asked him to clarify this he pointed to the women inc me with curly natural hair. I guess now comes the crunch line......we are all women of colour apart from one . And before anyone says anything, We were in dresses, heels and 'glammed' up so to speak. Non of us were drunk or rude either. I was even told my faux fur scarf was too hippy JUST WEIRD and that it was because we were wearing coats Eventually I just asked the promoter who was black if it was because we were a group of black/mixed raced women and he admitted that 'Yes, this is probably the reason' and that he himself as a black man would be turned away at the door!I suggest you don't play any RnB and Hip Hop or music of any black origin in your club.

Turned around to see that my husband, brother in law and friend were all told to step out of the queue. They were all refused entry. No reasons were given, because they had a disclaimer sign and all the security staff did was point to the sign that said management reserve the right to refuse entry and no reason is needed to be given! Having observed what then followed, it was clear that racial profiling was the decision maker here. Numerous other guests, of ethnic backgrounds were turned away. When we challenged security, they stuck by their disclaimer, though one did say to me ""I know the reason, but if I told you I would lose my job"". That clearly is confirmation that the racial profiling exists and that my husband et al were refused entry because of their ethnicity. To add to this ignorant and discriminating behaviour, another security staff then said that we can come back Monday, suggesting Monday was the day that ethnic minorities were allowed!

I have lived in Dubai for four years and have never come across anything like this. Last night, we were in a group so some of our white friends had already entered. We tried to enter as three Asian women and four white men. The men were allowed entry while the women were stopped because we looked too drunk. This is ridiculous because there were people in our group who were definitely a lot drunker but were allowed entry but they were white. We tried to reason with the staff as we felt this might be a racist decision and we wouldnt quietly walk away if someone is simply basing their decision on someones skin colour. There was also a man from the bar possibly a manager or a supervisor who very rudely told us we were simply not allowed in and his decision was made and where did we think we were going I asked him to tell us exactly why he thought we were too drunk and others werent, to which he replied let me call the police and they can tell you that. We told them to call the police but by this point in the argument, the bouncers had already grabbed hold of two of the women in our group and physically were pushing them out in hotel lobby to remove us from the entrance. When our male friends tried to intervene, they were grabbed and shoved out even harder. When i asked the bouncer are you going to manhandle women He responded with a simple yes. As this all occurred in the hotel lobby, hopefully theres a cc tv recording from the hotel to prove it, if the management is interested to view this. Needless to say, this was beyond acceptable and I would advise people with ethics to boycott this place as its racist, sexist and physically assaults women." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg308272d8594786r643553723FusionShanghai.html,Date of experience: January 2019,Asia,China,Shanghai Region,unknown,Kiza,"DO NOT GO TO THIS BAR IF YOU ARE FOREIGN!

Twice we were told by smokers outside the club that it was empty, and that it wasn't really as lively as they had hoped, but both times we were turned away because the club was 'full'.

Bar staff including a racist Chinese man, refused to serve us, we found this laughable as he of all people should know how it feels to be at the hands of racists, he was completely ignoring us served others who had come to bar after us, deliberately made us wait then he was extremely rude when he did decide to serve us, had a face like thunder at all times, at 1 point he even sent someone else to serve us even though he was doing absolutely nothing just because he didn't want to, when he had no choice but to serve us, he had the cheek to wait around for a tip which we would of happily given, had he been polite to us, like we were to him but instead he treated us as though we did something wrong clearly he did all of the above because we were black. We are nice people, we caused no trouble at all, we drank all night when we eventually got served we danced all night, socialised met some great people but when the 2 guys went back the following night the bouncers made them wait outside for ages well over an hour in the freezing cold minus centigrade for no reason gave them no reason as to why, just left them there waiting, kept snarling at them trying to intimidate them by being rude and telling them to move out the way to let others in simply again acted towards them in this way because they were black. After waiting around for so long realising the bouncers were not going to let them in they then went on to have a great night elsewhere with no discrimination, may I also add at this point the said 2 guys are hard working, law abiding citizens who are two famous music producers from London New York 1 was even recognised by a Prague local who told the bouncer of his status who simply just wanted a tourist night out were looking at a possible after party venue hire for a festival coming up in August. Big mistake fancy lounge, you play black music but do not like black people, that is very bizarre. And as for the manager/owner don't bother writing back that your club is not racist because CLEARLY IS as we experienced first hand, YOU may not be but your staff are. I suggest you have a staff meeting about your club discrimination policy and how to be polite and courteous to the general public despite what colour they are and most importantly CUSTOMER CARE and address the issue with them instead, hopefully they will understand that everybody is the same regardless of colour and may I also point out that using the term 'coloured' as a reference to black people or anyone of colour is not politically correct, this could also be classed as a racist remark, just thought I'd point that out to you as you used it in response to one of your other reviews claiming your club was RACIST. I hope that you will not take this lightly and as respectable business man wanting the the best for his business and reputation sort this occurring problem out. I have written this with the deepest regret as I would of loved to write a good review but instead I write it with the regret of ever stepping foot into your club, spending my money in there sending my clients there.What a degrading experience." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg274707d6016261r430061366FANCYLoungePragueBohemia.html,Date of experience: October 2016,Europe,Czech Republic,Bohemia,unknown,Racist venue racist staff,"Place to avoid if you're a colour people, we went there to enjoy ourselves but been waiting forever to be served by the barmen most of the time but he never came to us, after being frustrated trying to leave the premise, security guard who suppose to avoid any harm was punching us and we even had a swollen mouth ......... racist venue , racist staff .

In over 22 years I have seen a tremendous amount of shows. In Vegas, this is the funniest we have ever seen. We laughed so hard our stomachs actually hurt. Take the warnings seriously. This show is definitely NOT for everyone. If you get offended, absolutely go see something else. Not for children or those who are interested in hearing things that are politically correct. You will find everything from racy to racist. This show is epically sassy. Found in a very unique setting, an actual circus tent in front of Caesars Palace. You pick up your tickets out front, and this show is generally sold out. If you want to see it, plan ahead. If you want great seats, this is the show to splurge on. If you sit in the front 3 rows, you can plan on being involved, made fun of, and probably peeing your pants with laughter. While the ringmaster and his assistant are super entertaining and hilarious comediansthe acts that this show is comprised of are some of the most amazing things you will ever see in person. Since the venue is not huge, the seats are all decent, but closer is better, and will give you an experience you will never forget. These gymnasts, acrobats, dancers, skaters and entertainers are all amazing athletes. All their acts are truly jaw dropping, and you will look at your neighbor over and over and say How is this possible! How can they do that! Did you see that!! The amount of strength talent these men and women have is just incredible. I want to thank them all for giving us an amazing evening of entertainment.The downsides you ask The drinks are expensive, and the seats are put in very close together. It really gives you the feel of an old school traveling circus. We thought it was pretty cool the way they have it set up. Obviously, people that are easily offended will feel like they wasted their money. The gentleman next to us left within a few minutes. It appeared the majority of the audience stayed and had a wonderful time. Again, use your personal discretion by educating yourself about what you are going to see, so you dont chose something and regret the decision. Dont read about this, attend it, get offended and give them a bad review. They are very upfront in letting people know this show has offensive content. Go see one of the neutral Cirque shows if you arent sure you can handle this one.This show isnt cheap for a reason. Simply, its worth it. Spiegelworld has a huge gem here. This show is epic, and for those who can handle it, you will have an amazing evening at Absinthe.

The two shows are very similar in format though this one has no storyline to speak of, which is fine. The acts are all jawdropping. Amazing acrobats and feats of strength and so on. Especially loved the bathtub act and the rollerskating finale. They are all acrobatic/dance in nature though with the exception of a single and hilarious comedy routine. I would've liked a little more variety, but that's where Opium excels instead.The humor is aggressively and ruthlessly vulgar. As vulgar as humanly possible. And yes, occasionally racist in nature. You will be offended at some point. And, fun fact, check out the 1 star reviews to see the people who are no fun and hate life. If you think you might be offended, go see one of the wordless Cirque shows instead to preserve your delicate sensibilities.However, skip the bar.

While most of the acts are incredibly mouth droppingly entertaining and worth the cost of admission on its own, the hosts of the show, a crass ring bearer and his unfunny side kick, distracted with their classless jokes about gay, black, Hispanic and Asian people who were sitting right in the audience. While I like to think of myself as having a good sense of humor, I dont believe there is any venue which makes this ok. The fact the theatre was filled with 95 white people seemed to make this extra perverse. On another note. There needs to be stronger warnings for this show. Not just 18 and that its performance art ... Do not sit in the first few rows, Unless you like torturous, unrelenting, jabs thrown at you all night. Do not attend if you dont want to hear very descriptively graphic sexual stories. And of course do not attend if you dont like racist jokes.

If you can't handle some adult jokes and possibly being picked on in front of the audience, then don't go. I read a lot of comments that said the show was ""racist"". For the show I went to, the people that got picked on the most were racist Trump supporters, so I think calling the show racist is just ridiculous.

I didn't know what I was going to see when my friends got us the tickets, so I was a bit shocked at the jokes. I still thought they were hilarious, but do not go here for a family outing. If you do go as a family outing and you sit in the first 3 rows, you could potentially be the butt of a joke....which everyone will laugh at. Do not go if racist, homophobic, sexual, or political jokes get you upset. Also, don't be the middle aged guy who takes your daughter, because boy are you in for an awkward time.This is amazing talent with a lot of crude humor mixed in. I thought the talent was great and they all performed well. The hosts provide comedic relief between the acts and the jokes get super raunchy. I'm in my mid30s and I thought the jokes were funny, but I could see where someone older or more serious may not appreciate the humor. My only complaint about the show is the venue. We were crammed in like sardines on metal barstools. I was fortunate enough to have a seat with padding but the other 3 folks I was with all sat on metal barstools. That's a long time to be that uncomfortable and right on top of your neighbor. It helps give everyone a great view of the acts but it's a bit too crowded for my taste. There is an outdoor bar and seating area.

The comedy by the MC and his sidekick assistant is meant to be shocking, raunchy, and totally inappropriate politically, racially, sexually so expect it and dont be offended as its part of the show/act. The ticket prices are expensive, paid with fees etc included about 150/tix and was in the 4th row or so back just behind the VIP section. The view is fine wherever you are because its a small venue. Try to get a seat near and aisle as you are packed in very closely. VIP seats have a cushion on them and are close to the stage but are also in the splash zone for one of the acts.

The show is in a round, so everyone can see everything, and everyone is close. It's spectacular. The tickets are pricey normal for Vegas, honestly and my husband and I would have happily paid more.Now, the two negative points which should not dissuade you from attending you should be aware of: 1 The seats are essentially folding chairs that are ziptied together. You will be pretty much on top of your neighbour. There is no leg room. The show is amazing enough that you stop noticing, but if you're claustrophobic, aim for an aisle seat.2 The performers are, again, breathtaking and hilarious. The MC's are not. Their ""humour"" ranges from extreme sextalk meant to be shocking, I'm sure, but really just limpingly funny to straight up racist/ homophobic. Stereotypical comments about audience members' race and possible sexualorientation were the backbone of this humour; racist comments were also directed at the performers themselves. Now, before you call me a fragile snowflake, the humour is STALE. SO LAME. It's supposed to be shocking, I'm sure, but it's disappointing.

The semiimprovised humor of those two brings European clowning into this century, drives the show's energy, and is the cohesion between deathdefying acts makes transitions nonexistent so the show run at an absolutely nonstop, breakneck pace.The humor of those two is part parody, part absurdism, part supersuperdirty no problem there it works comedically and is ironically ""appropriate"" for the context of this Vegas show... but then it is also part heavily racial.The main actor's audience interaction revolves largely around naming people's races and the wellknown stereotypes thereof. They actors scream out the stereotypes as if being politically incorrect is funny for it's own sake. It is inyourface brashness that plows through the sense one is ""not supposed to say such things"" so incredibly forcefully, and it appears to bend the audience's will unto submission. It taps into a baser level of groupthink catharsis. Uprourias laughter ensues.Here's the problem. Minority individuals selected by the actor from the audience are put in the terrible position of either going along with it one selected audience member's mimed response as he was pulled onto stage indicated, ""Yup, go ahead and say it, it's true, I am black and haha yup I know the stereotypes about my youknowwhat being big etc etc hahaha."" or, alternatively, to defy the onstage actor running the show authority role in addition to a hugely revved up audience that has been whipped into a frenzy of ""hilarity."" Putting that onus on the individual takes away their right to to exist as an individual who's not being labeled and thought of in terms of their race. This is a grave infringement on privacy, to say the least. It's a dirty trick, engineered to elicit huge laughs from the audience, which leaves the individual with almost no option to protest. The ""volunteered"" individuals are often unable to even consider protesting this ""comedic"" conceit. They are swept into the attention of being a momentary celebrity, even if a compromised one. The only alternative would be to quickly! build up the strength to publicly act in defiance of the entire audience.The show's directors, producers, and actors need to change this. It is a seriously cheap laugh if ever I saw one. The cheapest, easiest, dirtiest laugh. They're capable of so much more. The two main actors who also strip down and do an incredibly funny parody of the physical acts that compose most of the showtime are young, vibrant, dynamic, creative and top notch in their talent acting, comedy, clowning. They must let go of this crutch they could so easily find less cheap humor to swap in. They're brilliant.I don't mean a raucous, boundarybreaking show needs to be super careful to protect individual highlighted audience members and walk on eggshells like they can't handle some teasing. Rather, I mean that the comedic conceit of this particular teasing calling out their race and the stereotypes thereof just for its own sake is way, way, way too grave an infringement on those individuals, when you take a step back and consider the consequences of that line of thinking and how it has evolved in such relatively recent years and persists today.I'm not calling the show racist. ""Racism"" falls along a nonbinary spectrum and I would hazard to guess these white actors are dynamic and openminded in general, with the ability to assess individuals as individuals much more astutely than the kinds of people one would typically label as ""racist"" and quite possible even much better than average not that average is such a high bar, IMO. However, by participating in this semiscripted show as they do, the actors and the entire production demonstrates a outright lack of sensitivity that falls far below the bar as to where public outlets/institutions must stand in this day and age.OTOH, many or most believe stereotypes are funny because they are somewhat true. Therefore, the comedic conceit at hand is not an excercise in laughing at the inanity of stereotypes. Even if there is some factual albeit not usually empirically evaluated reality that would support the claims of a stereotype, stereotypes are not meant to be constructive or helpful, especially to the group being stereotyped. If you don't think stereotypes have an inherent problematic and hurtful side to them, I'm afraid I don't have the space here to change your mind.In principle, it is these two doofus characters who are being insensitive and obtuse, not the actors or show itself. However, that is far from crystal clear it doesn't scan that way most of the time. The lines are heavily blurred, partly because the characters are directly interacting with the audience. The main guy interacts with the audience just like any other comedian, even if a bit more ""in character"" than your normal standup. As an audience member, you are complicit, even if unwittingly so. The guy's ""right hand woman"" character is more absurd and seems more clearly at the whims of her own dysfunction, so there's a bit more room there to interpret her humor as, ""Haha, look at the socially obtuse head case."" But, with the main character the guy, that is not how the comedy is operating.Some will inevitably defend this form of comic schtick by pointing out that it goes after all races, equally, including poking fun at your typical ""dorky white guy."" That simply does not resolve the inherent problem to loudly proclaiming stereotypes about the minority races black and asian, during the performance I saw, because it's is not a level playing field on which we play; teasing the group in power doesn't evoke the same level of problem, nor does it eliminate the problem inherent to putting a black man on stage and saying, ""Haha, you're our 'black guy' today, we love ya, you must have a huge youknowwhat, haha.""I mean, come on! They don't need to do that. The ensemble is so good and there are so many other ways they could engage the audience. It's a creative show with a creative spirit. Dismiss with this comedian crutch; just engage a bit more of your amazing creativity instead.Clean up your act, Absinthe. Recognize that your racial remarks are truly at the expense of some individuals." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg45963d2423291r592452218AbsintheLasVegasNevada.html,Date of experience: July 2018,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Nasty fun,"I was a little worried about how I was gonna feel about The Gazillionairethe raunchy emcee of this show.

What's really remarkable about Absinthe is the acrobats and performers themselves. The graceful twoman balancing act had my mouth hanging open. The erotic performance of the two aerialists, the lovely South American woman who performed with a hanging hula hoop. That last one appeared onstage in a filmy blouse with something sexy underneath.

I paid extra for premium seating in the first two rows, which could have been a disaster as my husband and I are shy and would have hated to be pulled onstage.You enter the big top through an outside bar area with plenty of seating. We were told there was a bar inside so we opted for this since it was boiling hot outside. The wait was longer than expected as the bartenders were slow. I'd recommend getting drinks outside to spare you the discomfort of standing in cramped quarters.The tent furnishings are a vintage lovers dream. It's decorated with unique art, vintage furnishings and a dramatic Absinthegreen curtain draped from the center of the top. This is true seating ""in the round"" with circular rows of eclectic bar stools with back support. The first two rows do have chair pads which was a nice touch. However, be warned that if you sit there, you may become one of the ringmaster's targets.About the show it's best for a VERY mature audience and has several cringeworthy moments. One couple came out with a young college aged son and dad was absolutely mortified by having to hear questionable topics in front of his kid. The announcer makes it abundantly clear that you'll hear all sorts of foul language and vulgarity. No one and no sexual topic is offlimits you will hear everything. The ringmaster is a bizarre looking dude with a sleazy voice. He singled out some people in the audience, calling them nasty names, coke heads and making suggestive comments. He called out audience members for being gay, Republican, black, Asian, and goofy white guys. Some of the humor made me squirm because of the racial stereotyping; I was uncomfortable and terrified of being roasted. I noticed that the farther you were away from the small central stage, the less likely you'd be targeted. But if you can get past that and aren't offended by this type of comedy, you'll have a great time.The cast is comprised of scantily clad, stripteasing acrobats we're talking pasties here!, mindbending jugglers, trapeze artists and dancers. Water was used three times and we were provided with plastic sheeting so we wouldn't get soaked. Speaking of getting soaked, one of the most unique acts was a hot guy doing the male version of an acrobat working with silks. I've never seen a beautiful man do acrobatics from a clawfoot bathtub full of water it was mesmerizing! The acts got better as the show progressed, with one of the audience favorites being dancing twin brothers. Their energy and passion was truly inspiring and uplifting. The show ended with a deathdefying roller skating duo and an elaborately staged curtain call. Overall, I'm very happy we went, even if it was just to see my husband laugh for 90minutes.

I was at VIP table and even that had very little room, and the chairs are rather uncomfortable to sit for an extended period...at the same time the tight seating does allow for a smaller more intimate venue so you can see well from anywhere.

The show itself was great. It is essentially a variety show, but what makes it exceptional are the hosts. They were hilarious, but in a very mature way. If you are easily offended, it wouldnt be the show for you. The 2 hosts are raunchy, crude, a bit racist though every race is open game, and just when they would be pushing the limits on the raunchiness, they would introduce an act to reel you back in. There were acrobats of different types, jugglers, dancers, and singing. There are 2 shows nightly at 8 and 10 pm.

Do NOT bring your children. That being said, there was a TON of laughter and the acts in between the comedy were pretty amazing. This really is one of the best shows Ive seen in Vegas. LocationIts right off the strip on the Caesar property. Its just a stones throw away from Gordon Ramseys Hells Kitchen it was so convenient to make dinner reservations here and then then run on over to the Absinthe tent right before the show.VenueIts a big circus tent. Outside there is a bar and a place to hang out before the show. The VIP people had a separate entrance and got to enter through a telephone booth! The rest of us nonimportant people went through regular glass doors. Inside was not your regular theater seats. It looked like a big bar with seats arranged in a circle, with a small circular platform in the center. The seats were an assortment of folding chairs, bar chairs, etc. You are pretty squished in there so if youre a big gal or guy with long legs or broad shoulders, get an aisle seat or VIP table. For us short people, section 3 row F was pretty good our seats were taller chairs and they looked over the lower folding chairs. I felt so lucky because sitting on the folding chairs in front of me were some pretty tall guys! I said you may want to get a table, then again, maybe you dont. Table seats are prime for getting picked on by the billionaire and owner host. The first 23 rows in the whole venue were too. You may be verbally and/or physically picked to be the brunt of their joke. I would only dare sit there if you are pretty comfortable with yourself and can take this kind of joke. There are also a couple of acts that spray water on the first 23 rows. You are given plastic to try to cover up for these instances. Dont sit there if you just got a perm!ShowThe format is host, act, host, act, and so on. The acts were great. The feats of strength, balance, artistry were pretty amazing. There stage was the center platform and the air, but they also came out onto the tables. If you bought a table seat, just expect the some of the show to come right in front of your face.The hosts were the billionaire owner of the tent and his assistant. They swore a lot and made a lot of sexual humor jokes. They are the ones that could pick someone out of the audience to pick on them as the brunt of the joke or put certain body parts on them. They are also what helps to make the show so funny and entertaining.

Nothing matched, and many had been 'decorated' with childish depictions of genitalia or rude words. Even the seating challenges the audience.

Jugglers, trapeze acts, a semistrip tease, acrobats and all hosted by 'The Gazzilionaire' and his female assistant.

They are far more informative. The MCs are disgusting, crude, racist, sexist, childish, bigots; and they are going to push things to the point where everyone is offended. Likewise everyone is a target. There is no ""safe space"" inside the tent. The acts were great. I've seen most of the Cirque show's in Vegas and after awhile they start to all feel similar. This felt different. It's almost odd to me that it was Caesars doing this show, since the set is so minimal. It doesn't have near the production cost of shows like Ka, La Reve, or Love. The show is essentially acts that could take place on or above your dining room table. For me that intimacy of the show really works.

While there we saw 6 shows and this was by far the worst and was the most expensive. We are certainly not easily offended by language and could have coped with that but it was the blatant racism that made us uncomfortable. We were sat next to a black couple and I could feel how awkward they were feeling it was so unnecessary. The performers were ok but Ive seen just as good in the UK at a Christmas party and the seating was terrible. I would have rather stood at the bar than on the tiny fold up chairs about two inches wide.Dont waste your money on this show. It isnt funny and the performers are average. -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg45963d2423291r567380274AbsintheLasVegasNevada.html,Date of experience: March 2018,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Anniversary ,Not for the easily offended.

I couldn't even tell you how much I paid for the ticket as it was prebooked by friends.The venue is as described by all reviewers, a tent filled with chairs cable tied together. It can be uncomfortable, but then it is 'edge of the seat' acrobatics and errr, comedy. I was warm in there. I'm glad I went to the toilet before the show started.I found the performers, mesmerising at times. The acrobatics were excellent, even mind boggling. I particularly liked the stacked chair routine at the start, but the other acts were also very, very good.Now for the bad and sad bit. I'm not an easily offended person and I did find myself laughing, but not at the ridiculously crude, mostly disgusting and immature trash that came out of the mouths of both the male and female host 'double act'. I was actually laughing at them, and not in a good way. Quite simply, they weren't in any way 'funny'. I'm sure they realise most people are laughing at them purely in embarrassment. They clearly think their gross humour is 'edgy' and 'out there'. It certainly isn't, it's rude, crude and utterly offensive to I suspect, the vast majority of ordinary people.In short, if vulgar, sexually, racially and politically offensive material mixed in with some stunning acrobatics floats your boat, then this show is for you.

The ringmaster is hilarious and is just as amazing as all of the acts. It is fast paced and because you are sitting right on top of the action, it is as if you are part of the show.....which some of you will be.

It was a good show, but be prepared for sexual, political, and racial jokes. We went there specifically to see Billy and Emily England, and they did not disappoint, nor did any of the performers. This show was amazing, every act was impressive. My only complaints are the tiny, folding chairs. We paid over 300 for 2 tickets to sit in the front row and were a little disappointed when we saw the seats. The other issue was the fact that even if you buy your tickets in advance online, you still have to stand outside in the box office/will call line to pick up your tickets. It was windy and cold the night we went, and the line was long so that part wasn't very enjoyable. Overall, we had a great time!

The show takes place mostly on a 9' stage in the center of a small circus tent. There is a bar inside serving a selection of pricey drinks. We went to the late show and they just let us walk in with our drinks in hand, so there was no need to purchase more inside. I've seen most of the Cirque shows in Las Vegas, and this has a much more intimate feel. We were in the 4th row, and I felt at times, if something went wrong, some of the acts could go flying into our row. I've read quite a few reviews and it seems like some of the acts have changed over the years, but the current entertainment is first class. The rollerskating duo was fantastic, and I've never been a fan of juggling, but these guys were unbelievable. I do wish I'd seen Melody Sweets as the green fairy.There has been criticism of this show being racist and I think people are highly confused. There are portions of this show that contain satirical racism, which in the style of the great Mel Brooks is used to show how stupid racism is. If you don't like satire, or are an advocate for all things PC so see a different show. My wife didn't know we were going to this show until the day of.

The early century styled circus tent adds to the unique styled show sprinkled with sexy burlesque, some funny crude humor and attractive talented acrobatic artists and acts.The bad: I don't mind paying 100 seat even with a military discount, for the 4th row there are no bad seats, but only the first 3 rows get pillows on the assorted folding chairs, some are wood. Beyond the 3rd row, just a folding chair tied tightly together, no cushion. You are scrunched together with your neighbor for a solid 90 minutes. Most of the clientele are slender, hip, beautiful creatures dressed to the nines, which doesn't change anything but it's not your average type of crowd. The jokes cross all racial and sexual lines, making certain chosen people in the first 3 rows the butt of all jokes throughout the show black, asian, white people labeled as republicans like that's a bad thing, dorky people, people labeled as lesbians...no one left out. I work in a casino commercial kitchen and my husband a retired Navy fleet chief and are no means offended by crude sexual natured jokes by the ringmaster and his nympho side kick. We get it's just the act. I guess we don't find continuous humor in repetitive xxx rated jokes, literally verbal porn, very funny. We leave that to comedians like Kathy Griffin and Amy Schumer. Again by all means we are not prudes in the least bit. I guess thats what people think is funny. If you pay to be in the VIP area be prepared for the ushers to drape you in plastic occasionally to keep from getting wet depending on the act, and you just might get the bonus of becoming the butt of the 90 minute ongoing joke. If that's what you want to spend your money on. I've been to many cirque du soleil types of shows, and they make sure to include a few of the hanging silk/strap performers. Again, cool to see but you've seen one you've seen them all.

Small, but OK and well air conditioned it was the hottest week in history of LV when I visited. The sitting is quite uncomfortable. Almost all the seats offer the same visibility; the first two rows are splash rows for one act only. I got the most expensive VIP ticket, which gave me a seat at a table but on an uncomfortable tall chair, and a bottle of what they call ""champagne"", but is in fact an extremely poor sparkling wine.The show is a combination of comedy and acrobatics. I found the comedy part horrible nevertheless, most of the audience was laughing out loud. All the jokes were dirty and/or racist. Not clever jokes, though. Humor was replaced by constant swearing as if that is funny by itself. For instance, the host labelled three men in the front row as gay, and kept telling ""jokes"" about them throughout the show what they like to do to each other, what will happen in their hotel room after the show, etc. It was not funny, but pathetic.The acrobatics part of the show was better, but far, far below the standards of for example CDS. The stage is very small, so this is one of the limits for sure. The costumes and the scene are what you would expect in a circus, without an extra something. There is no nudity despite the ""adult"" label, and if a barechested girl in one of the acts is what you are looking for, then I am sure there are plenty of far better alternatives in Vegas.One act though was by my opinion inventive, fresh, and something new the girl and the balloon dance. Absolutely not enough to justify the 150 I paid for the ticket.

Absinthe presents a rare combination of greasy carny barker with breathholding feats of acrobatic talent in a very intimate tent setting. Don't take children unless they need to learn every bad word in one setting. My best buddy from high school came up so I got us VIP seating. We were given a special VIP entrance through a limegreen tardis British phone booth Dr. Who style and a free selection of water or champagne. Each chair in this tent is different and there are not a lot so this is not an arena. There is a small section of tables, which is what I got us. The lighting and staging is eclectic and from a bygone era, which adds to the sensory delight. The master of ceremonies is fantastically caustic and sharpwitted! His gold tooth, awful and greasy haircut, gold jacket and shoes are perfect. He slices and dices all races, genders, political affiliations. He has a young hyper woman sidekick who cannot stop talking about everything sexual that comes to her mind without filter. After talking to two Jewish people about the cuts they'd see in the men's spandex, he told them if they didn't believe him to just ask the two gay guys sitting behind them me and my buddy! OMG! Then the sidekick goes on a long diatribe about all the gay sex we're having. I cried it was so fricken funny! But it's not all racist or sexist humor. The performers are truly talented acrobats that deliver some great and conceptual performances. At times, the tables we sat at were used by the performers. At times the audience is the performers.

It is difficult to describe, but I'll try. This show is like a variety show with raunchy, racist comedy mixed in! My husband and I found it to be hilarious and entertaining. Some of the tricks the performers did had me gasping and covering my eyes and so did some of the jokes! It was held in a small circus tent with a large array of mismatched chairs! In fact, I believe my husband and I had the best seats in the house: high back tufted arm chairs! The main floor had a variety of folding chairs and then people on the outside of the main ring like my husband and me had things such as church pews, old bath tubs, and even barber chairs to sit in! The acts ranged from tap dancers to tight rope walkers to acrobats and other things in between. I was definitely entertained! Do note that it is an 18 and over show!" -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg45963d2423291r473162517AbsintheLasVegasNevada.html,Date of experience: April 2017,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,"Rude, Crude, Offensive Amazing Must See.

It is rude, crude and offensive utilizing blatant racism parities and graphic sexual situations as the backdrop to some of the most amazing physically artistic acts you can imagine. If you leave your ego and self righteous at the door you will have a historical laugh and experience a top notch cirque du soleil show.

I'm not really that PC, but it just wasn't smart comedy. If you are a minority and sit near the front, you should expect racist comments. You will also get sprayed by water including some spit by the acrobat it you sit up front, although they give you plastic to hold up during the act. We sat in row two, and I got a sore neck from looking up. I definitely wished I had sat in one of the couches further back.

The show emcee started the show with a monologue if you are insulted easily or don't tolerate sexually explicit, demeaning or racist comments, this is not the show for you. We generally found the show to be funny, but several times I thought it crossed the line by targeting individuals in the audience and commenting on them an Asian woman was selected and he started speaking to her with an Asian accent making demeaning comments. He moved to a bunch of guys and started calling them the gay guys throughout the show. He selected an African American couple near us and started making comments about them in the back of the theatre and another interracial couple, commenting on them. The couple near us was so uncomfortable, they got up and left. It was ""all in fun"" BUT it was very uncomfortable. Once they had the acts they were great. The seats are unbearably uncomfortable the main bowl seating is folding chairs linked together with zip ties. If you are tall, make sure you have an aisle. If you go, sit at tables in back.

There are probably 10 rows of seats so you are really close to the action no matter where you sit. The seats are a collection of random folding chairs, so its cramped and not necessarily comfortable, but its part of the overall underground vibe. The tent itself is air conditioned, so it was not uncomfortable even in the 100degree heat that we experienced.The show itself is a mix of the aforementioned outrageous comedy, acrobatic acts of balance and strength, and some dance routines. What really stood out for me is how close you are to the action; it lends an excitement and immediacy that you dont get when you go to a large stage production like any of the Cirque shows.

It's the fact that such discrimination has given rise to hatred, conflicts, and wars around the world. Such bigotry and judgment is the cornerstone of Absinthe's comedy and I loved every second of the show. The refreshing comedic stance of stepping into the unholy and disapproving subject matters,I believe, is what makes it draw crowds from all corners of the planet. Everyone likes a taste of the forbidden fruit. The comedy is intertwined and alternate between skits, jokes, and amazing acrobatics. Even if one cannot appreciate the crude, adult humor, there's no denying of the talent and skill the physical performers have. From displaying raw strength, to high wire balancing acts, each and every performer will surprise you and have you on the edge of your seat. The venue is under a small outdoor tent outside Caesar's and seating is comprised of ziptied foldout chairs. Don't fret if you have a seat near the rear and cannot fully see the stage; the majority of the acts and performances will be at an elevated level. Be warned, seats at the front may not be best for shy folks given that there are in a splash zone and the scurrilous MC tends to pick those closest to the stage. All in all, if you're looking for something that's different and enjoy raunchy humor, Absinthe will be your type of entertainment. It's a refreshing change from the typical Vegas shows and will make you die laughing and feeling dirty at the same time." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg45963d2423291r371525671AbsintheLasVegasNevada.html,Date of experience: May 2016,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,White Trash Cirque De Soleil but in a GOOD way!!!,"This is in a tent outside of Ceasars, by Serindipity. If you are picking up tickets prior to the show, the box office is outside by the tent as well. For the show the best way I can describe it is white trash cirque. Seriously. But in a good/fun way. I've seen all of the Cirque shows, as this was my 20th trip to Vegas. The seats for this show are random, small, garage sale/old school desk type seats. Don't expect to be comfy. They are ziptied together too so you will be elbow to elbow with the person next to you. Don't let this steer you away by any means, it is part of the experience. They have some very talented acts in this show. The host is very vulgar, racist, dirty, raunchy and will pick on everyone in the front row so it makes for LOTS of laughs. If you get offended easily, this show probably isn't for you. For instance, he was picking on the ""trophy wife"" sitting up front and called her up to the stage. He also pulled out a token white guy from the audience and a black male from the audience to give this girl a lap dance. She then had to touch the crouch of the guy she thought did the best dance. The guy and girl on the skates are amazing. The strength of the talented artists are top notch. It's cirque talent set to modern and fun music. Give it a shot. You will love it. I'm not sure why we've put this show off for so many years.

The staff did a great job getting all 14 of us to our seats. The show was hilarious and our faces hurt from laughing the entire time. We were in awe of the athletic ability of the performers.

SO different from anything you will have seen up to now. Don't go in thinking you are going to a cirque show. Yes, they have acrobatics and gymnastics....not the kind you've seen until now. Don't be shy to nudity or a little racism although they do it with class and no one seems to be offended I said to my Aunt when we left this show ""If everyone could just sit back and laugh at themselves....black...white...indian...asian....catholic....protestant...tall....short,well you get my drift. If we could all laugh at ourselves and not take everything so seriously in the world....I think we'd be so better off. Everyone is so sensitive about everything now days it makes me sad.

But we couldn't have been more disappointed in the show. First of all, you walk in a tent and it just has a grungy feel. You are scrunched together in fold up chairs with nowhere to move. The narrator was so vulgar and so disgusting it was offensive. I can take a joke and I can take curse words, but if it takes 20 minutes to do one act because you're too busy yelling out cursewords and racial slur's, this isn't the show for you. The acts were good but nothing compared to Cirque du Soleil. I would much rather see a show like that where music is played in the background in a nice theatre than the awful narrative in a shabby tent. My husband and I walked out of the show probably 30 minutes into it. If you thinking about buying tickets, think twice, save your money and definitely upgrade to Cirque du Soleil.

But I have to say that I was a bit disappointed. I had been warned not to go if we were easily offended. We are not at all, but it even pushed my limits at times. And at other times I was laughing so hard my face hurt! There are some very good acrobatic acts some quite erotic, but I would have preferred to have seen more of those and less of the show hosts. The theatre was nice and small, under a tent. We had been told there were no bad seats because of the size. However when we booked our seats we were pointed out sections where it would be more difficult to see because there would be posts in front of us. Even with the ""good seats"" we ended up having to move over because of a post in the way! We were in the back row, which was fine for a view since it is such a small venue. Definitely don't sit in the first few rows of you don't want to picked on. Especially if you are from a visible nonCaucasian or nonstraight group. And if you are easily offended by racist, homophobic, sexist jokes, don't go. All in all, it was okay, but I have to say that I do regret spending that much money on it.

The tent is small with a quirky old 50's circus tent feel. Seats are varied and can be anything from a wooden folding chair to a bathtub or barber chair. There is not a bad seat in the house as there are only about ten rows from the stage. If you book ahead those at the back are a little more comfortable. We we are T19 a table for two with a great view. The acts are circus like extraordinary performances of strength, talent and dare devil thrills, with many omg moments.

We had a blast. As one half of an interracial couple, I was actually a bit nervous going in due to the if you dont have a thick skin dont go comments. But it really wasnt bad at all. My husband and I love stand up and weve been to a lot of shows were the comics were much worse. But I suppose, if you really are sensitive you wont enjoy it. I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes. Heres the other thing, the comedic aspect of the show served more as transitions between acts. The hosts would do the intro and introduce the acts. The main attraction, which really was spectacular are the performers. All the acts were wonderful and the small intimate venue made it that much more aweinspiring. I also found all the staff to be extremely helpful. The time just flew by and I was a tad sad when it all finished. I like to ensure my reviews always keep the spirit of trip advice so here goes: 1. The tent really is very small as everyone has said those middle seats all tied together looked cramped and uncomfortable. Per the reviews, we opted for seats in the back which I highly recommend. We had a little table for our drinks and what looked to be comfier chairs. It is also a little raised so no trying to see over people's heads. The tent is so small I feel like calling it the back is misleading as you are still really close to the stage. No bad seats here. 2. Another reason to sit in the back is often people in the front are held up when going to the bathroom or to get drinks. Depending on the act the staff may stop you and you may not be allowed to walk up the isle until an act gets going. 3. So if I say the back is close then VIP is REALLY close. Sit here with the expectation that something will be thrown on you or youre going to be picked on. Wigs, tops, glitter.some people dont mind this but just be mindful. 4. The closest bathroom is across the way basically not in the tent. So timing is key. I would recommend going right before things start so you dont miss anything. 5. There is bar outside and I think one inside that sells drinks typical Vegas prices and popcorn 6. We went to the 8pm show and the outside bar opened around 7:15ish and the doors opened at 7:30. 7. Box office to pick up tickets is separate from the Caesars box office and is located right outside the tent. 8. Not for kids. Adult content both expressed and implied. Go have fun!

In general, I'd say its in line with the other ""variety"" shows we have see in Vegas. Performers seem a little less polished though. Their skills are of course, amazing, and I would not take anything away from them. As my wife likes to say ""they demonstrate the peak abilities of the human body"". The rest of it is pretty crass. No actual clever or sophisticated humor at all, basically toilet humor. the whole damned show. Throw that in with some pasties and I guess that is enough for people. I would say its a 40 show. The humor, as it were, was designed to make people uncomfortable and squeamish. Highly successful at that. If you are into that, 120 for a tent with little actual humor, lots of toilet humor, racist and sexist commentary to the max! and some pretty good performers this might be up your alley.

The stage is very small and raised in the centre of a tent. Seating is on free chairs surrounding the stage and there isn't much room. My only complaint is if you are sat behind several huge fellows then your view for some acts will be partially blocked. The show lasts 90 minutes and passes very quickly. Drinks are expensive.

The final tight rope act is a little weak but maybe that's just because the rest of the show was so amazing. Advice: sit in the back row. All the seats up close are fold out chairs and cramped.

We had very little knowledge of the show and simply chose to go based on TripAdvisor ratings and the proximity to our hotel. I will start by saying the show is funny, witty in a most politically incorrect and often offensive way. If you have a low tolerance for stereotypical racial jokes, jokes of an explicit sexual nature this is probably not for you. Otherwise you can expect a nicely balanced variety show where the performers stage acts are creatively introduced in the fictional ""Spigelworld"" setting. The individual acts may not be the very very best that Vegas had to offer but they are all quite amazing and incredible to watch. The circus tent venue has a very ""1800's"" feel so the entire theatre becomes part of the act. It's quite cool. I did hear quite a few spectators voice frustration and disappointment about the actual seats which are an eclectic variety of folding chairs and other wooden chairs, but I actually thought they enhanced the setting. Bottom line is there is not a bad seat in the house. A word if warning if you are the shy type do not sit in the first two rows. There could be a very high likelihood that you will find yourself part of the act or the recipient of some fairly funny but none the less demeaning jokes. If you take that stuff in stride go for it sit in the front row and enjoy.

We were seated on a raised platform in section A. Not only did we have a great view the theater is very small but we weren't packed in like sardines on very narrow folding chairs!!! Our section had a small table between two chairs so we had space to breathe.

Then there's the The Gazillionaire a grumpy, aging, foulmouthed, jerk. He's very amusing when doing parodies of Cirque or teasing the other performers. It is even worth a few chuckles when he pokes fun at gays, lesbians, Asians, blacks, and nerdy white guys. That's his character, after all. We can all suspend being politically correct and have a good time. But his merciless, nonstop homophobic and racist humor gets old when he picks on the same few people in the audience the entire show. It isn't necessary, even for this character.

Wow what a surprise. The variety of the acts and uniqueness was incredible.Now for the helpful advice that all of our reviews provide:1. The venue is a small tent that is located in front of Caesar's Palace hotel. Being small and that it is a tent and round almost any seat is a great seat. The almost phase is because of the front row seats. If you get nervous about having roller skates coming by your head maybe 3 feet away going about 20 mph than do not go front row.2. The MCs host and hostess for the Absinthe are incredibly funny, but it is very adult, sexual and racist/political humor.

The performers themselves were great. The tap dancers and the bodyguards were the highlights for me and my wife. The singing was mediocre. The show would be great without the host.

The most important advice I can offer and don't be offended by this, it's for your own good if you are overweight, call the ticket office for seating advice. The chairs are a mishmash collection of old folding chairs one right next to the other. Skinny people are wedged in like sardines. Most of the chairs are HARD.

The sexual overlay for the acts is offered with tight smiles and isn't too distracting. The one brief comedy piece that spoofs Cirque du Soleil is hilarious. The MC and his female sidekick, however, are broadly and pointlessly crude and racist with no wit at all. At one point I noticed people leave. This is the point in my original Tripadvisor review where I laid out in simple, clean language, using one legal term, the gist of a particularly crude riff that the female sidekick addressed to a male audience member as a faux remembrance of a disordered relationship, in order to give you the true flavour of the lack of wit practiced in this show. The word picture violates Tripadvisor's guidelines, however, and they have a point, as the imagine she painted of destruction and violation sticks in my head. The racial ""comedy"" ran on the lines of black men have large penises and white men aren't able to dance in a manner sexually enticing enough for Asian women. Not at all entertaining.

We waited 2 days, anticipating a wonderful night. We were paying quite a bit more than for other shows we had seen this trip. We were incredibly disappointed. The comics running the show used extremely racist comments over and over again that would offend just about every person in the audience. There was absolutely no ambiance to enjoy. The ""seating"" included ancient folding chairs and the ""building"" was similar to old drafty barns. My companion pointed out that one chair must have been salvaged from a church as it had a ""kneeler"" mechanism on the back. We did arrive about 5 minutes late, the show had already started and they GAVE OUR SEATS AWAY! We paid quite a lot for those seats, and instead were told that we were getting an ""upgrade"". The ""upgraded"" seats were extremely uncomfortable and the legroom almost nonexistent. I made a point to go check out the seats we paid for, which had a much better view and more leg room. If I could have read a review like this one, I would not have wasted my time. The acrobats were pretty good, but we did not really enjoy our seats, we finally got up and moved. The comics continued racist humor detracted during key portions of the acrobats performances. All in all, I would NOT recommend wasting your vacation dollars to see this show. Instead, try some of the higher caliber LV shows that are thoughtfully designed for the audience's comfort and enjoyment. As the MC joked, you have to be really drunk to enjoy Absinthe and if you are sober the experience is excruciating.

However, the seats are old metal chairs sort of tied together, and they are not comfortable . They state that if you are a prude or thin skinned or easily offended this is not the show for you . It was a fair warning. I tended to like the not politically correct attitude displayed by the emcee and his female co host . Refreshing actually in these times when the most blandest statement seems to spark a lawsuit. It is sort of like a circus with act after act, coming to the small center stage . The acts, everything from tight rope walkers to tap dancers and some super gymnastic type routines, certainly do entertain. Each act lasts just a few minutes with some off color bantering by the Emcee in between acts . He can be very funny and his off color racial remarks are spead across all skin tones equally . There is a good amount of skin on display but the pasties are in place . The mockery of the Cirq shows was a very funny routine .

If you're easily offended by sex, dirty words, references to sexual orientation or racial jokes this isn't the show for you.They offer a variety of acts which are all very good but, if you're accustomed to Cirque shows, this is definitely second or even third tier acts.

It was a great change of pace from the Cirque shows we usually attend, even if many of the acts were basically the same stuff we've seen many times before. The theater is very intimate, you are right on top of the stage and right on top of the folks sitting next to you. I loved the design choices and look of the whole space. I understand that the tight seating is a result of maximizing sales in such a small space, but it really is comical just how little room there is between rows. Airplane seating is 10x more spacious and comfortable. As far as the different sections, we sat in the lowest priced tier but ended up in the 6th row. After seeing the show, I can't see the value in the extra 50 just to be a few rows closers and have a tiny pad on the seat. If you are shorter and the only seating available is the last few rows it might be worth it.Since the seating is right against the stage you really get to see the pain/concentration in the performers faces and bodies during their performances. It's easy to lose sight of just how difficult what they're doing is since you know they perform the same thing every night, but when you see them shake and grimace you quickly realize how silly that thought is. Every act, with the exception of the bubble, held our attention from start to finish. Since most of the crowd was drunk/rowdy during our show they basically became another character in the performance. Their reactions made it seem like they were watching a sorcerer or alien on stage, much different from the more reserved response you get from the Cirque audience.Penny and The Gazillionaire offered some great laughs with their obscene humor. My wife was somehow shocked at just how far they took certain riffs, but I don't know what she expected given that is the show's MO. She wasn't offended, just surprised by the extent of the racist/sexual humor. Definitely be mindful of the people you are planning to attend with, I wouldn't spring this show on anyone without knowing for sure they won't end up offended/uncomfortable.Overall I would say this has been the best show I've attended in Vegas and would strongly recommend it to anyone who is interested in it after looking at their site and videos.

I'm surprised no one mentioned that the seats were fold up chairs, tied together at the legs so it was WAY TOO tight and cramped, with minimal leg room. My seat was bare wood and if I slouched even a bit, I slid forward. By the end of the evening, my tailbone was in much pain :The acrobatics were good but not spectacular. The price of this event is in the same range as Cirque du Soleil's O, and the acrobatics at O were significantly better. I also am generally not fond of shows with reluctant audience participation, and I felt bad for the three people who got pulled up to the stage and were requested to perform lewd acts for everyone's enjoyment.So fair value for money, poor seating, good but not spectacular acrobatics, combined with sexist and racist humor caused me to deduct two circles.

I have been to Cirque du Soleil shows, and don't get me wrong I love them and they are incredible but this was a whole new league.

The host and hostess are wildly hilarious and if you sit anywhere near the front, be prepared to be insulted and made fun of!If you don't have a raunchy sense of humor, if you get offended by cwords, are offended by gay and racial humor, I wouldn't recommend this show.

I suppose the show could best be described as a Cirque de Soleil Burlesque Comedy Show mash up, but it was, without a doubt, one of the highlights of our Vegas Trip.Absinthe is staged just outside of Caesars Palace inside of what looks like a giant red and white tent, but do not let the modest venue fool you. There is a bar outside of the venue where you can grab a drink prior to the performance and additionally they do serve adult beverages inside the venue as well The inside of the venue is. how shall I put this. interestingly decorated with the stage in the center and the seating surrounding the stage for 360. Take some time AFTER the show, to really look around at some of the decorations. They will make much more sense once you have actually seen the show. I will stress that from what I could see, there is not a bad seat in the house and the venue is actually designed to feel quite intimate. Even from the back of the venue, the performers are still quite close and due to the fact that a good bit of the show is actually done above the stage during acrobatic performances, I cant imagine anyone complaining that they did not have a good view of the performers. I will also stress that the first few rows of seating are EXTEREMELY close to the stage. This show is written to involve the audience particularly those in the first 67 rows, so if you do not want to run the risk of being part of the show, I would suggest sitting further back in the venue.The show itself was spectacular; however, I will warn you that it will not be for everyone. The performance has a VERY sexual theme and the comedy is i racially/ethnically charged, ii sexually charged and iii EXTREMELY GRAPHIC. This is not to say that there is anything disgusting or disturbing, only that they really take a no holds barred approach to the comedy. I loved it and laughed almost nonstop during the comedy portions of the act. The master of ceremonies the Gazillionaire is hilarious and had impeccable comedic timing. That being said, I do understand that some people are what I would term easily offended and I will warn anyone who falls into that category to steer clear of this particular show. The other half of the show consists of gymnastic and aerial performances that are similar to some Cirque de Soleil performances. The performers are very talented, performing acrobatic acts as well as feats of strength and balance that were extremely impressive. I will not ruin the show for anyone by describing/giving away the acts, but I will say that many of the gymnastic acts had a sexual theme to them in line with what I might expect in a burlesque show. Nothing lewd, just erotic back and forth between the performers sometimes male/female, sometimes female/female. Again, I enjoyed myself immensely and was particularly impressed with the strength/balance acts.In conclusion, I really cannot speak highly enough about Absinthe. In comparison to some of the other Vegas shows out there, this was an absolute bargain and I would recommend it to just about anyone who enjoys a raucous good time!" -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg45963d2423291r205227355AbsintheLasVegasNevada.html,Date of experience: May 2014,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Awesome...,"The show is awesome.

APART from this talent Absinthe is the worst show we have ever seen! It was recommended by our hotel concierge who clearly has no idea what entertainment is. Our choices were David Copperfield, Elton John or Australian Bee Gees! How he could think Absinthe would come close to any these is beyond us. We paid for VIP tickets as we were told no other seats were available. There were at least 20 empty seats on the nights. The set up is in a tent where the wooden metal seats have seen better days. The stage is not much bigger than a child's garden trampoline. The main characters seemed to be one female one male, who are quite frankly appallingly lacking of any talent or class. We don't mind the profanity at all, however the context in which it was used lacked any humour. Racist personal insults seemed to be a main theme.

It's almost too raunchy even for me, and it makes the worst episodes of South Park look mild. But if that's your cup of tea and it is mine, it's absolutely hysterical. The characters are lovable, in their own disgusting, racist, offensive ways.The chairs and decor are all mismatched and probably stolen from yard sales and crappy antique stores. They're not very comfortable, but there's not a bad seat in the house. I prefer to get a table, because if you're close to the front of the seats, you WILL get picked on. Lots of audience, uhhh... participation Verbal assault Either one.It's a variety act, and all of the acts are incredible. The fact that they do their acts in a fairly tiny space just adds to the wonder and amazement. They're all terrifying, gravity defying, and honestly pretty freakin sexy.Every night the house cocktail is different. 10 a pop but you only need one to stumble out of there at the end. I've seen this show twice, and the first time, the drink was lemonade and vanilla vodka so gross but so strong, and last time it was OJ, orange vodka, grenadine, and amaretto.

Those things were mild compared to the assault inflicted on every person of color who had to mask the pain as they endured the verbal attacks behind so called ""humor"". The ""German"" and ""white guy"" humor didn't come close to the assaults done on the people of color. The laughter from the white people in the audience was as close as you could get to a southern lynching being witnessed by insensitive Klan members in the 1950's south. We have not come a long way.

The tent allows for seating in the round and the front row seats are only a few feet away from the performers. There are only about fifteen rows so there is not a bad seat in the house. Well, not a bad seat from the standpoint of sight lines. But ordinary folding chairs, some of which have no padding, are what your 80 or so per seat gets you for a place to sit. Fortunately, the show is so good that you will not notice when your rear end gets numb.Since I am not offended by raunchy humor and foul language, I found the entire show to be extraordinarily funny.

Located in front of Ceasar's Palace, It's a very small, quaint little venue, only 13 rows around a center stage, so you can see well from every seat. The MC and his side kick run the show with their vulgar, sometimes racist jokes and remarks in between different types of circus acts. Some of the acts are really good, talented, some not so much, but its really the MC's humor that gets people roaring in their seats. I laughed so hard, I was crying; however, looking at my girlfriends and people around me, not everyone felt the same way. Also, it's audience participation, so if you don't want to be pulled on stage, or made fun of, don't sit in the first few rows.

Go see O and take a nap. Absinthe is sexually vulgar, racially humorous though I found it to be good natured and not offensive, and also has some great acrobatic performances as well. There's a little bit of everything in this show including audience participation. Beware if you sit in the first few rows, you are fair game for the host to poke fun at you! The show takes place in an air conditioned circus tent outside of Caesar's Palace. We got table seats which were well worth it because the row seating looked cramped. There really isn't a bad seat in the house viewwise however. We got two glasses of champagne included with the table seats. The only inconvenience is you have to leave the tent and walk across a courtyard to get to the nearest restroom but that's about it. Really overlooked because of the provocative nature of this show is that the mini circus acts in the show are really as entertaining as a lot of the cirque shows in town. The funniest skit is one in which they parody the circus performers in clumsy and raunchy fashion. I couldn't stop laughing. There's also a skit where a beautiful woman carries in a huge bubble and then ends up topless inside of the bubble. What's not entertaining about that! I personally don't understand all the haters of this show.

I left feeling like it would have been ok to never have seen it. My husband liked it a bit more than me. I had read reviews prior to booking tickets. I was prepared for the foul language, however, I didn't realize there would be some stripping, and so much sexual inuendo. Don't get me wrong I was not offended by this just not entertained. This show is definitely not appropriate for all ages and people. Lots of the jokes are very dirty in nature and are very verbally graphic. Again, not so much offended as I just didn't find it funny. It's WAY over the top. My grown children that were with us on the trip joked that we were about to witness ""soft porn"" a comment that I laughed off. Now that I've seen the show, I think they were right. Apparently they checked out some video online about the show and they knew what we were about to see. I only read reviews which mostly warned about the language lots of use of the Fword and racial slurs etc. The venue is very small and crowded similar to a tiny circus tent. So everything you see is very up close and personal. Now, for all the negative said, there were parts I thoroughly enjoyed. Some of the strength acts will blow you away! Two people roller skating on a tiny circular platform at 75 miles an hour amazing! There is a bit of magic, singing,dancing, trapeze, and various other acts mixed in. Just when I got to the point I was checking my watch to see how much longer before the show was over, something entertaining would take place on the stage. So, my suggestion is that you spend a little time looking at some videos online and judge for yourself. It really is a mixed bag. And far from being the greatest show on the strip! I'm glad my husband had the opportunity to see it something he has always wanted to do. He enjoyed it more than myself or our grown children.

Basically everything you want in a Vegas show. On the stunts alone you will be Wowed MANY times with things you didn't think possible. You are brought right into the performers element of danger due to the size of the venue. An unassuming tent on the outside is turned into a beautifully themed show floor that sits almost 360 around the stage, and the farthest seat being maybe 30ft from the stage.

I liked the front row seat because the seating was cramped and I liked the leg room. However, you would not need to spend so much 150 for a ticket and you would still have a great view. The theater itself is made to look like a vaudeville tent, with lots of props on the walls. The show host, the ""Gazillionaire"", and his female sidekick were very funny. The various acts trapeze, roller skating, balancing act, high wire, etc. were all well done. I recomment this show, but only if you will laugh at the raunchy hunor.

For real. The acrobatic stuff is amazing and the burlesquestyle acts and numbers are fun, wellsung/performed, and sexy but not vulgar. Props to the crew as well for all the work they do clearing sets and stuff. Each act is unique and stunning. When some of the acrobatic acts start it's sort of like, ""oh, another one"" But each is different and pulls you in. I had chills and thought they were were very moving. Especially the asian dude and white womanvery emotionallydriven. If you think you've ""seen that"" on America's Got Talent, you haven't. These are amazingly crafted and performed acts. Loved the burlesque numbers. The Green Fairy has a beautiful voice. There is nudity but with pasties, and it is not tacky. Men are on display too, but not nude and more because of their acrobat custumes. Nowthe humor. It is raunchy, racist, and ribald. I loved it. The Gazillionaire emcee is a master at improv and skewering the audience ala Don Rickles. It was all in fun though and people were good sports. No word, sex act, or bodily function was off limits in their humor. I laughed out loud til I cried. I was in row D and you are right there. Like the first row is 2 feet from the stage. Don't sit there if you are at all scared of being skewered by the Gazillionaire. The only downsides are the crappy seats. I have never seen a cirque show so can't compare, but I think I would like this better from what I heard.

The first was rejected by Trip Advisor because it was too graphic in its description of the Gazillionaire and Penny's acts. Apparently, they thought it was obscene and that is the nub of the problem with the show. The reviews of this show are mixed: people either love it or hate it. My wife hated it, and if she could have left early she would have done so. I thought it is a great concept but the show overplayed its hand. Here's the problem with the show. The acts are fabulous. They perform right in front of you in a very intimate setting and that is nothing short of spectacular. The acts include a strip tease, contortionists, trapeze, a beautiful make/female ""duet"" on a bungee chord which was a ""wow"" by any standard, a beautiful lady who puts herself into a giant balloon you have to see it to believe it, a tightrope act, an hilarious duo spoofing Cirque shows, and more. It is a fast 90 minutes. The problem resides in the emcee and his sidekick, Penny. It wasn't the constant use of the ""f"" word, gay humor, racist remarks, scatological remarks and the like that bothered us. Kathy Griffin has made a career out of this and she is hilarious. The problem is that in striving to be funny, shocking and overthetop, they left the ""funny"" part backstage. Their act was crudity for the sake of crudity. You were supposed to laugh because they were being crude and many did. My wife called it ""high school locker room humor."" And after a bit it just got dull; a onenote song. Every other word was profane and in extremely bad taste. We felt the same way about Jon Lovitz when we saw him a few years ago; in his attempt to be funny by being crude and profane, he just wasn't. We were supposed to laugh simply because he was crude and profane. Perhaps it is a generational thing because the younger folks in the audience perhaps those closer to high school locker room age thought it was uproarious and they raved about it as we exited the tent. Me I thought that this could have been a sensational show if only the emcee and Penny and especially the emcee had been comedians instead of slash and burn offensive for its own sake. In their defense, I will say that Penny was genuinely funny on occasion. So my bottom line is that the price you will pay for seeing the amazing acts in an intimate venue is the banter of the emcee and Penny that in many respects just isn't funny. Of course, if you are offended per se by the types of humor described above, or constant use of profanity, then you should avoid this show because you will be offended." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg45963d2423291r151198105AbsintheLasVegasNevada.html,Date of experience: October 2012,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Might be the best show on The Strip and I've seen them all!,"Absinthe at Caesars Palace might be the best show I've ever seen in Las Vegas, and that's saying alot as I've seen them ALL!! This is Cirque meets comedy show meets cabaret.I really wasn't sure what to expect, as this show is not advertised much and there aren't many helpful reviews on the web. But, since it was the only show we've never seen in Vegas, I bought tickets and we were off to Caesars. 1st things 1st.....I'll save you some calorieburning with this tip: the show is held in the ""tent"" OUTSIDE of Caesars Palace. We walked through the entire casino in Caesars before we finally asked for help and realized we actually had to go outside and enter the ""tent"". Obviously, it's not as classy as most theaters, but don't let that turn you off. When buying tickets, there really is not a bad seat in the house. This is coming from someone who is VERY picky about seats. There are only a few rows of seats 11, if I remember correctly, so unless you are blind, you will be able to see the show well regardless of where you sit, or how tall you are. The venue is rather small, compared to others on The Strip. The seats in the theater are regular, wooden, foldaway chairs. You know, the kind you sit on at a backyard bbq. They are not comfortable or glamorous, but once the show starts, this won't bother you one bit. Show was hilarious both husband and I were cracking up. However, if you get insulted by sexist, racist, political or fat jokes, DO NOT go. We are openminded individuals from NJ/NY, and were not insulted at all. We understood that the show was meant to entertain, not insult. If you don't understand that, you probably shouldn't go. Acrobatics were great comparable to Cirque shows. There are some really talented performers in this show. Tickets for this show are MUCH cheaper than Cirque shows on The Strip. If you are low on cash, but want to see a show, this is the one for you.

The actual physical stunts and performances are exceptionally good. I won't spoil it for anyone but you get about 8 different performances and they vary from novelty burlesque to tests of strength.Just give it a go from what my friends said it is unlike any other cirque show." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg45963d2423291r130017628AbsintheLasVegasNevada.html,Date of experience: May 2012,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,The BEST show i've ever seen in Vegas!,"We've been to Vegas many times over the last 10 years, having seen most, if not all, of the headline shows, which have provided entertainment that cannot be matched anywhere in the world. Absinthe is new in Vegas, located at Caesars Palace in a newlybuilt circus tent. Being a variety performance circus act, we were looking forward to comparing with the other acrobatic, Cirque du Soleil shows that have practically taken over the Vegas night scene. This not only matched up to all of the highproduction Cirque du Soleil shows, it bettered them. Our front row seats gave us an intimate and involving experience with all the highwire acts, as well as the witty, hilarious comedy performance of the Gazillionaire. The acts were daring, dangerous, as well as being erotic and funny. It had everything, including the adorably filthy Penny who provided some of the best standup comedy iv'e ever heard. Don't get me wrong, its not for everyone. If you're the sort of person who cringes at sexual humour or erotica, or even racial humour, this is not the show for you. It was fantastic, the most unique show i've ever seen, and will certainly remain in my memory for a very long time!" -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg45963d2423291r129960832AbsintheLasVegasNevada.html,Date of experience: May 2012,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,"Rowdy, risqu, and raucous!","I didn't know what I was getting into with this show, but we were pleasantly surprised and delighted. The Gazillionare the fictional host character is a hilarious cross between a stand up comedian and a ring master imagine Chris Rock mixed with Borat. If you're at all offended by racist jokes, very graphical sexual humor, or the copious use of the ""F word"", you probably won't enjoy this show. If, however, you are not easily offended, you'll love Absinthe. We laughed our off.

However, if you would like a little risque behavior this is the show for you. Funny and the performers are very talented. The only bad thing that I have to say about it is the seating. Not a problem if you are of average size, but I did not enjoy sharing my seat with the rather large person next to me. So, if you are large, pay for a seat upgrade.

My husband, myself and our best friends went Valentine's night to the 7 pm show and were quite surprised that it was not jam packed. We had our choice of seating and if I had one complaint...that would be it. The seats are too close together and even skinny people were wishing they could move their seats apart about an inch. We originally sat down and found this a little close for comfort and moved to some fancy chairs that were located to the left of the stage and found it to be very comfortable there. Everything you read and hear about the humor is absolutly true!! This is not a show for the faint of heart or prudes. If vulgar language, sexual overtones, racial jokes, partial nudity offend you....don't go. Plain and simple. We loved it and the acrobatic acts that went along with it!!

The acrobatics compare to Cirque, and the humor is awesome. One of the best things of vegas shows is we can pull off jokes and all get along that wouldn't fly back home. When I went there were racist jokes, sexist, jabs at the sniors being republicans, and being a local even Ihad one of the tall souvenir cups, even I got hit for that but its all in good spirit.

Firstly, we went in with a group of 6. 5 of us were Irish and we had one 30 year old Brazilian friend with us. We all got in without any problem but then when it came to our Brazilian friend, they told him that it was not his night and to go somewhere else. After a bit of complaining and arguing from us they shushed us and told us to get him back and hurry inside. The second incident was far more disturbing. As we were leaving, a young black man was walking out in front of us and realised that he had left his jacket inside, he went up to ask the bouncer to let him back in and a conflict began. The conflict ended with the bouncer pushing the young man down the stairs and telling him that he was in the wrong f country. We called the police to report what we had seen and were told by police men that they knew Johnny and hes a sound bloke that normally wouldnt do anything like that. We were also told that the incident wasnt that racist on the grand scale of things and as the young black man was flying back to England the next day, there was nothing we could do about it. The bouncer, Johnny, still stands on the front door every night, even after the manager was informed about both incidents and it seems like this is the normal in Copper Face Jacks. The main reason that we go there is that it stays open until after 5 but after spending a lovely night in Everleigh Gardens a few doors down until 5 am, we most definitely wont be going near Coppers again." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg186605d12861571r582809917CopperFaceJacksDublinCountyDublin.html,Date of experience: May 2018,Europe,Ireland,Province of Leinster,unknown,So bad experience,"The security are racist.

In fact it was the saving grace of the show, that and the first couple of songs such as 'Hello'. Even the parody of Hakuna Matata was hysterical. After those songs, I thought we were in for a real treat. Unfortunately, we were not.I'm no prude, and swear like the best or worse of them, but the constant swearing became tedious. Somehow, real people swearing the c and f words with such regularity falls flat. Had the dialogue been delivered by a South Park character, such as Eric Cartman with his silly voice, it would have been funny but using racial stereotypes to deliver it was frankly distasteful. In a cartoon, racial stereotypes are strangely acceptable, but in real life are surprisingly uncomfortable. Was this the point of the show If it was, it was overdone. I have lived in an African country decimated by AIDS and AIDS is no laughing matter, nor is ""fcking babies"" in the mistaken belief that it cures this disease. Some things are ripe for a satirical send up on stage, but not AIDS and certainly not the sexual abuse of children. The plot was like a weak amateur production of a pantomime and just a vehicle for the satire, rather than presenting a gripping satirical story. Good satire that is funny and clever, such as the Bin Laden scene in the Family Guy, is a joy to watch. This was not clever. It was predictable and tiresome, and we couldn't wait for it to finish. No wonder the doctor had ""maggots in his scrotum"".

I am honestly more shocked and confused at its reception and the success and popularity this show has garnered than the actual content itself. I felt uncomfortable at the largely white audience hysterically laughing at the antiAfrica, racist jokes. This story was written by two white men who have profited hundreds of millions of dollars off the back of issues such as genital mutilation, AIDs, and rape, in a country they generalise as 'Africa' and have probably never set foot in. I am honestly just speechless at how I am in the minority for thinking this, and how in 2018 people still think this is a smart, terrific show. The humour is childish, repetitive, cringy. I am not easily offended but this crossed a line for me.The show might as well have been a blackface performance, which at the time no one thought was inappropriate but now it's general consensus that it's racist. I can't imagine that this show will go down well in history in the future.I really think there was a missed opportunity to create a story that had clever satirical ideas without having to revert to archaic, overused, racist jokes. Racism is present and latent. It's embedded in our history and societal stucture. This musical plays on this within its audience, which is probably why people laugh.

The following thoughts may make more sense if you've seen BoM at least once. If you haven't seen it yet, I hope it genuinely entices you in to experience an event that your ordinarily sensible self struggles to believe is actually unfurling in front of you.Firstly, it is a stomach crampingly funny and foul mouthed experience, housed within one of the most uplifting and enjoyable musicals you will find in the West End, performed exquisitely by the most talented and engaging group of actors around...and now for the pseud's corner critique.Dont go if you are offended by liberal use of Anglo Saxon descriptors in all their permutations and / or use of multi layered comedic deconstruction linked to wonderful tunes South Park meets South Pacific, as has been aptly described by others of all religions, western societal perspectives, superficiality, prejudice and corruption. Appreciate these are grand claims for a musical which on face of it can be viewed as a collection of crude, racist, misogynistic sketches to catchy tunes. However, with respect, if thats how a theatregoer processes the show, theyre missing an opportunity for some seriously meaningful reflection as to human nature and misuse of religion and abuse of power by those seeking to control the lives of their citizens, particularly women. FGM is brutally exposed for the abomination that it is; rightly and unapologetically so. Offence at the use of various names for that intimate part of a females anatomy is nothing compared to the real pain still felt by hundreds if not thousands of women still subject to this needless mutilation to this day.Highlights of the show are many so take as read the outstanding performances by Elders Price, Cunningham and McKinley.Third time around though, what struck me was the gem of the revised narration of the Mormon story to the visiting elders by the villagers using their own culture bound language with some imaginative input from Arnold. It reinforces the point that all established religions, in their origins at least, rely on oral transmission from one generation to the next Sal Tlay Ka Siti, shaped and reconfigured by contemporaneous cultural references. Why then do so many accept literally as gospel the more unpalatable elements of religion which were a product of their time and early cultureThe visually obvious double meaning of Baptise Me shouldnt be as amusing as it is to anyone older than 13 years of age but it is so wonderfully sung and choreographed by Elder Cunningham and Nabulungi, both switching effortlessly between innocence and desire, that it had me squirming uncomfortably and laughing in equal measure.As has been mentioned in countless reviews, the whole cast are incredibly talented and engaged. Id just add it feels like there is an amazing camaraderie and buzz across the whole team, making the audience I would surmise from their hearty continual appreciation feel a real part of the event.Leanne Robinson who played Nabulingi in all three performances I have seen is a huge talent, whether in her emotional and powerful solo performances or in wholly conveying the innocence, joy and hope that I am sure Parker and Lopez intentionally built into her character.I cant end without a special mention for Steven Webb who, in my opinion, has made the part of Elder McKinley his own. You could invest a whole show watching him alone and it would be an extremely entertaining two hours. His knowing expressions and engagement, even when he is not front of stage are a lesson to any aspiring actor in being fully in character 100 of the time. I hope he stays in the role for as long as I go to see this show as his eventual replacement has big sparkly shoes to fill." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg186338d3905591r571660832TheBookofMormonLondonLondonEngland.html,Date of experience: April 2018,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,unknown,Entertaining and offensive in equal measure,"Nothing is sacred here, racist, homophobic, antiSemitic themes are present throughout.

The show started off energetically but things took a rapid turn for the worse when the newly graduated Mormon elders were sent on their first Mission to Uganda. That was when the 45 minutes of essentially racist jokes started when the majority of the humour seemed to revolve around Africans having AIDS, raping babies and having ""maggots in their scrotoms"" and being totally thick. I literally cannot understand who would find this funny. I came to see this show expecting amusing Monty Python style satire and only found something that was deeply, deeply offensive. The fact that anyone actually finds this funny pretty much sums up everything that is wrong with the world. Oh, and before you think 'snowflake', I am not easily offended. I was so annoyed that the theatre is right opposite The Comedy Store, where we could have had an awesome, funny night of risque humour, but instead we got this absolute pile of rubbish that we paid 175 for.

According to the rest of the audience, a black person putting on a Ugandan accent and saying the fword is hilarious...There was the odd moment where something mildly amusing happened, but nothing to me was laughoutloud funny. I bet if this same production was applied to the Islamic faith, there'd be uproar about it! Positives about Book of Mormon were that the actors were really good super enthusiastic and full of energy, which was enjoyable to watch.

The only reason we bothered was because we had some Ticketmaster vouchers that were due to expire and had to be used on something, otherwise I would NEVER pay full price for this crap. There are essentially just two sets. And although well done, these, the costumes, the lighting and so forth were very straightforward. When you think about the complexity of shows such as Wicked, Ghost, Lord of the Rings, Bodyguard, Phantom, this was one step up from a high school play so it's disgusting that they charge so much. And as for the content, I pray to God a la Mormon that the success of this show does not mean the state of things to come in the West End because if that's the case, theatre is doomed. I am anything but politically correct and my humour is very much about pushing boundaries. But child rape, female genital mutilation and the most brazen racism I've ever encountered just takes it too far. I'd be lying if I said I didn't laugh there are some very funny moments, but this not only crossed the line; it left the line many miles behind.Crude lyrics aside, the music is catchy and some of the voices were excellent, as was some of the choreography.

Its exposure of western attitudes toward Africa, its way of making you reexamine your own atitudes towards cultural differences and the terrific way it forces you to see that issues such as FGM and baby rape are really happening are just some of the examples. I particularly admired the way they contrasted Africa's vs first world problems ""80 of us have AIDS"" vs ""my bus was late"", was one notable example. Of course FGM is not funny but including it in a comedy show means that many more of us become aware of it and may even be inspired to do something about it.Compared with other South Park programmes it's actually pretty kind to the Mormons, since the central message seems to be that although much of their bible is a nonsense if it nevertheless leads people to be nice to each other, that's a good thing. I noticed that the Mormons themselves have a one page advert in the programme.The music is not bad, although not brilliant either.

This was a real surprise considering how good Trey's music has been elsewhere see the Academy Award nomination for 'Blame Canada'.The two lead missionaries have great energy and are obviously talented, but the material they're working with is, as Cartman would put it, ""........lame.""" -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg186338d3905591r246983963TheBookofMormonLondonLondonEngland.html,Date of experience: September 2014,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,unknown,Terrible,"An absolutely awful show.

I looked at several including Adagio, but this one is miles ahead of them all.All the negative reviews on tripadvisor are from people who could not get into the club. It's a business, you dress well, have both female/group, spend money and cause no trouble you will get in. We are British Indians, there was no racism by the door staff, yes we had to pay 700 euros 50 euros each to reserve a table, VIP entry and then we could spend 700 on bottles of drink. It's one of the best clubs I've been to in a long time, you walk in and the first part is like a wine bar where you chill, the centre of the bar has a huge lit up tree in the middle, around midnight, one by one all the VIP guests are taken to the club, through a small door, security is very tight. Once seated they take your drinks order. It takes about an hour to get all the VIP tables sorted, 1am the Rnb music starts, and the remaining guests are filtered through from the wine bar area. The females in our group felt very safe, it's the first club I've been to where the female to male ratio is a lot higher. 65 female/35 male...I think that says it all. No sleazy blokes, I got talking to a gentleman in the VIP area who had a table for one, with a bottle of grey goose.He is a nightclub owner but comes here to unwind once a month, and advised that this was the no.1 club in Berlin, as they are very strict in who they let in. So don't listen to the negative views, if you going to try and get in, dress smartly, try and come as a mixed group...stag groups haven't got a chance unless you book VIP." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg187323d4881172r325267784ThePearlBarClubEventBerlin.html,Date of experience: November 2015,Europe,Germany,Berlin,unknown,well worth a visit,"Went this club as 42 seconds security are just pure racist and refused for no reason.

Many of our friends had recommended Berghain to us so we thought we'd give it a go. We visited on a Sunday as it would be quieter. We queued up and all of the people in front of us who just so happened to be white got let in. When it came to my girlfriend, the doorman said ""no,you're not coming in. I don't like the look of you"". My girlfriend replied ""why"" when another doorman grabbed her from behind and threw her on the floor. As she got up, he punched her so hard in the face that I heard it. As she got up, shaken and in pain, all 4 of the bouncers started laughing. We shouted at the bouncers that we were calling the police. We stood about 20m away from the entrance, when 2 female staff members came out of the club and threatened us and told us to leave. When we explained what happened and that we were calling the police, the women started hitting us and then grabbed us and dragged us to some benches about 50m away, whilst the doorman who punched my girlfriend followed behind them. Eventually when the police came they spoke to the doorman but it was clear that they didnt care.As we were leaving, a local couple came up to us and said that Berghain is notorious for being racist and violent to black people. PLEASE DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU ARE A POC, IT IS NOT SAFE. After what we were hoping would be a fun night, my partner and I are traumatised. Her jaw is swollen and sore when she chews or talks. My wrists are sore from where the female staff members grabbed them up. Please boycott Berghain.

A friend and I queued up on a Sunday afternoon. We had fully expected to be turned away its just what happens and for a lot of people it must be very confusing why. I dont think there is a particular dress code, it doesnt matter whether youve had a couple of drinks and certainly has nothing to do with racism we are Australian and dont speak much German. But, if and when you get inside it is the most incredible sensory overload, surrounded by people who are there to have a good time with no judgement. The dark, industrial interior compliments the music and creates an awesome atmosphere. If you love techno and are open minded, you have to try Berghain, and if you get knocked back, be respectful, and you can always try again.

All the reviews stating the door policy is racist are complete nonsense, inside the crowd is vastly mixed. White, Black, Asian, Latin, Young, Old, Gay Straight. It's this stringent and undefinable door policy that has created something truly special inside arguably the safest clubbing space any of us had ever entered. There are no judgements here; people whoever they may be can become who they want and do what they want whilst within the club. We have never experienced this before at a club and it truly was something to behold. A place where one can act out ones fantasies without fear of shame of reprisal in the after event. Berlin is a truly special city and Berghain is more than just a club with a confusing and sometimes alienating door policy. It's a welcoming, open truly inspirational place to party. Treat the place with the respect it deserves and you will be greatly rewarded once you step through its doors. Clubbing will never be the same again the benchmark has been upped to unrealistic/superhuman levels by this wonderful wonderful venue.

So, Sat Oct 1 the big day arrived and I realized this is something totally out of my hands and decided to go with absolutely zero expectations and to enjoy the ride. I wore black pants, grey tank with flower pattern, black fall jacket and black shoes. Btw I am a 35 year old brown single male, look younger about 26/27. My motto was ""if I dont get in...life goes on"". Arrived around 12:30, line was huge but being in the queue for two hours was an experience itself, met so many great people and all of us had the same mindset. Once we got closer the selection process was very much visible and thats when everyone got serious and quiet. Then Sven appeared, for some reason I felt like he was staring right at me maybe because I have a manbun like him lol. Most people before me got in, wont lie in my head it was more like ""this is it! watergate here i come lol "" but decided to act calm and confident. So my turn comes, bouncer standing to my left smiles at me and I said in a very calm way ""hi, how u doin"" with a smile and look away. Sven stares at me for few seconds and he gives the nod within split seconds the other bouncer waves me in, honestly I couldnt believe it! Then this rush out of no where hits my head.. it was a blur. They didnt even search me and points to the cashier..pay 16 Euros, get the stamp and enter this so called paradise.I wont mention what I saw or experienced just to respect the club and its people. But yes it is huge inside, Surprisingly, the music was not that great.. am more into tech house. Berghain was playing hardcore techno and Panoramo had more my style. Took time exploring the whole place not once but several times and yes it is quiet fascinating, we have something similar on a smaller scale in Toronto called Comfort zone but everyone gets in, no dark rooms and its more ""tamed"". Some people told me music is better on sunday evening.So after spending 14 hours, got my hand restamped and leave around 3 pm on Sunday, queue outside was enormous. Later that night they didnt let me in even with a stamp saying it was not completely visible but I think its because of my jeans or simply didnt fit the criteria for that night so I hit Watergate. Berghain is not racist, saw people from all walks of life. Bartenders, bouncers and other workers were all polite to me. This place is an institution, a mecca for many people and respecting their ""culture"" is what Berghain looks for when screening.Other than the music my overall experience was pretty good and am grateful for being allowed in. I think its the hype that makes this place so much more attractive. But people seriously remember its just a ""club"". My advice, have a plan B, dont expect to get in, act calm and confident, dont have that hungry look on your face." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg187323d2038917r402356568BerghainBerlin.html,Date of experience: July 2016,Europe,Germany,Berlin,unknown,The best club in the world ,"There are clubs and then there is the temple of techno, Berghain. I thought my clubbing days were coming to end but this place took me back the 90s warehouse raves but a hundred times better and I was by no means the oldest in there. Arriving at Ostbahnhof with thousands of other hopefuls we walked the short distance to the old power station and joined the line. It was a long wait 2.5 hours, but well worth the wait, during the time we kept our voices down, didn't get drunk and ignored the hawkers which approached us a simple ""nein"" and they eventually got the message. As we got closer to the door we saw Sven or as he is fondly call The Lord of the Night. Sven is the daddy and with his security team they decide who is coming in. There is no VIP or guest list, ""celebrities"" have been turned away but their format for selecting who comes in or who does the walk of rejection is the reason why this place is heaven on earth and has the reputation as the best club in the world. When we got to the front we waited and the doorman said in German two and in my best German I said no four, he looked and said English and I said ja he nodded and we walked in! I can't explain the euphoria I felt walking in, after seeing literally hundreds of people get turned away we were in! We remained cool and passed security, there are full checks and phones have their camera lens covered. Photography is strictly forbidden. After security, we paid our 16 euros and we walked into the foyer, this massive space with large clock room. What amazed me was the size it is literally like walking into a cathedral with its high ceiling.We headed straight for the bar service was fast, we waited less than 5 minutes to get served, another great thing about Berghain is the fast friendly service. The crowd aren't drinking fancy cocktails or Cristal champagne it's ice cool bottle of beer and water, all very reasonably priced. It doesn't exploit its customers, more reasons to love this place. The main room was pumping we were fortunate to get the last 30 minutes of Ben Klock, just one of the many world class DJs that play here. Getting lost in the dry ice, the smiles from the crowd, the sweat pouring off me and the freedom to be whoever you want to be and just party! The lights, strobe and lasers are something else and the sound system is out of this world. Up more stairs and you come to Panorama bar, playing funky house, the music isn't too loud that you can chat and make new friends. Panorama is very much a house party feel it's just so cool. This club is raw, underground, industrial full of free spirits who are up for partying it's very mixed of ages and nationalities. We stayed 6 hours and met some wonderful people, danced like I haven't danced in years and for me that sense of freedom and liberty in a world full of hate this club is the opposite it's just full of love. Fat, thin, beautiful, less attractive, black, white, yellow, gay, straight, bi, trans, abled bodied, disabled, young and old, everyone gets on and is enjoying the party! If you are homophobic, racist or have any other hang ups this isn't a club for you and I wouldn't waste your time trying to get in but if your non judgemental and like to party hard you will appreciate The beauty of Berghain. Thank you for the most incredible night of my life.

We left wondering whether it was because we were 2 straight couples or beacause we were dressed too normal, or just because the doormen were pure racist. I guess a bit of all, but made me to read the door policy at the other clubs we went to very carefully. This one says: do not dress too nice, do not smile and cheer while in the queue, don't come in groups....so basically Berlin's 'best club' wants me to drop my friends, get some clothes from a homeless guy on the corner, look to the ground and mumble for myself otherwise I would not fit!

Wow club was amazing, music was evenmore amazing an there was a very big group of mixed people inside. Very diverse club with lots of multi cultural people within. Do not listen to reviews stating that they are racist just because they didn't get in! Once being to the club I realise why they turn people away an would of not been upset if I had been turned away. I honestly think they pick each person to preserve the vibe an diversity of the club. Tips come in twos, don't speak in queue, wear black an wait to be spoken to once reach the front.

It is a shame that Berghain's management believe that they are successful by allowing their Bouncer to illtreat visitors at the entrance. As avid travelers around the world, it was shocking to experience the brutal behavior of refusing visitors into the Club. The Bouncer has been given the power to speak and behave offensively to visitors who he chooses to refuse entry. There are no particular rules for the Club and the decision made by the Bouncer is clearly based on his judgement. We were observing the Bouncer and it was very clear that he was insulting and shunting out people who were mainly tourist and couldn't speak German. Even if the Club has certain conditions to refuse entry, I'm sure they can conduct this process in a decent and polite manner. I'm even surprised the Human Rights Authority in Berlin have allowed Berghain to continue their business under such inhuman conditions. There should be a better reason why a night club should be popular. There are no moral principles or intelligence to such discrimination by Berghain. We were literally asked to 'Get Out' because I guess we were Indians and because we didn't speak 'German'. Do not recommend this Club to any one unless you want be maltreated!

I was wearing Givenchy gentlemen only and my friend was wearing Dior Homme, for the record. We were then told to empty our pockets, which we did, although it was a massive inconvenience. They then patted us down and found nothing, as there was nothing to find. My friend and I explained that we wouldn't take such risks as smoking marijuana because of our jobs, and we proceeded to explain that if we had been smoking marijuana, we would be acting accordingly. One bouncer, the extremely skinny one who should consider a new profession claimed that when he ""smokes a blunt"" he's fine so perhaps that's where the smell was coming from They said they would talk to other people in the area, of course they didn't though. The only two people of an ethnic backgrounds are obviously in possession of marijuana stereotypes in 2015, who would've thought it. The larger bouncer, an overweight guy by the name of Danny, then decided to label us as threatening and aggressive, after we said we would wait for the police, and after we questioned his fabricated authority. We were then told to leave, weren't able to finish our drinks and the management weren't much help either.

Whether it be Putin and Abu Bakr alBaghdadi one week, or your seething other half the next, it would seem as though we are always under threat we are never safe and we have nowhere to call home! That is of course, until I found The Slug! The Slug is like that moment you collapse onto the sofa after a long day, that moment you wake up late in a panic before realising its a Saturday, that moment you think youve left your passport behind and then realise you were holding it the whole time. The Slug is relief. The Slug is relaxation. The Slug is release. There is no judgement. We are all equals in the eyes of The Slug. Ive seen a man throw up all over himself whilst wearing a Superman shirt. We all realised the irony and he may have briefly appeared on Instagram, but we did not judge. We applauded this man, for this man felt safe, he needed a release, and he knew The Slug would offer him that drunken solace. There is also charity in The Slug. We are offered drinks so cheap that it makes The Salvation Army look like a bunch of money grabbing fat cats!! Where else in London can you buy 15 jager bombs for 30! Only The Church offers cheaper wine but the vicar drinks most of it, and the playlist at church has nothing on the back to back 50 Cent In Da Club and Beyonce All The Single Ladies. However what is shared between these great pillars of civilisation is a sense of community and a feverishly warm welcome. The bouncers at The Slug, in the famous words of Admiral General Aladeen The Supreme Leader of the Republic of Wadiya in the critically acclaimed documentary titled The Dictator are like mafroom Wadiyan fruit, hard and spiky on the outside, but soft and really mushy on the in. Whilst they may seem a little unfriendly, once a level of trust is reached, there is no warmer welcome in South West London. Unfortunately Shane described, a tad racially I may add, as the white English man by one ignorant antislug is no longer on the door, but he was the first to introduce us to the new boss with a broad smile and a friendly pat on the back. So, if youre looking for a warm welcome, a feeling of instant release, an experience of real community, and an opportunity to get completely annahilated off the shrapnel in your back pocket, then head down to The Slug and enjoy a night youll never forget!!" -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg274856d12177270r636758203SmolnaWarsawMazoviaProvinceCentralPoland.html,Date of experience: November 2018,Europe,Poland,Central Poland,unknown,Racist place DO NOT GO!!!,"Im a Jewish person and I went to Poland because of the history of my people.

The first group who were rather tipsy but all white, walked into the club without incident. The second group, with 3 white and one black were told they could not go into the club because one or two of them were drunk. Now, as they were all sober were rather shocked at this news. When the doorman were asked for the real reason they the white members of the group were told 'it's not you... Hint hint'. The remaining girls all turned up in taxis to find that we also were not allowed to enter the club because this time 'our group was too big'. But had we entered the club as we arrived in groups of 3/4 they wouldn't have realised we were all together. Let's call a spade a spade. They just didn't want black people in the club.

APPAULED,"Never in my life have I experienced such treatment in any venue. Me and my friends booked a table for my friends birthday for 250.00. As we arrived the service was very poor but to make it worse, towards the end of the night, say about 2a.m. the club resold our table to another set of people. We went back to our table to find another set of people sitting there and drinking our bottle of Moet and using our chaser. I proceeded to ask a girl sitting at the table to kindly move over so I can sit also and that she was welcome to join. She proceeded to threaten me in my face, stood up, put her fist in my face and said 'im going to knock you out three times. She said id need to get securty to sort the situation out. I went to the security guard who confirmed that it was indeed the table we were on. He then proceeded to get the manager Henry to deal with the situation. Henry proceeded to speak to the girl and then moved us to another table bear in mind our alcohol was still on the other table No apologies, no compensation, no efforts from the staff whatsoever. The VIP manager a lady named Katherine I spoke to who had clearly sold off our table then informed me that we will have another table in the corner in a very rude manner. I proceeded to exit the stairs to find one of my friends and was approached by the same girl who previously threatened me, shouting at me again saying she was going to kill me and knock my teeth out. Henry the manager, then turned to me as if Id insinuated the incident. I was absolutely shocked. I had no hang ups with this girl, didnt know her and did not know why she was speaking to me like that. A guy who was with her then proceeded to come over to me to tell me to ignore her, im sorry but i take assaults very seriously, especially when I am not in the wrong. Henry the manager then proceeded to blame me and my friends for the incident, saying that he 'cant be explicit' to deal with the situation and why dont we 'just get out' proceeding to then blame me and say that the girls actions were 'nothing' and why cant we just 'keep to ourselves' As I proceeded outside to find my friend Henry then says to me 'oh your other friend who is white is civil and nice and you are the complete opposite' Now im sorry, I am trying to help my friends in the best way possible, save our money and our night, and defend myself towards one of your customers throwing threats in my face and youd like me to not inquire with you about any of this He was beyond rude and racist towards me, making racist comments towards my friends and basically waiting for all of us to leave although our remaining party had done absolutely nothing to cause any trouble whatsoever. I know clubbing in London I would have never experienced this issue, as it would have been dealt with by police. I am planning to take this matter further with shoosh, Katherine the manager and Henry who supposedly dealt with the situation on the night making it worse for all of us. If I am unsuccessful I will be writing to press about the club's antics. I am extremely disappointed in security lying about CCTV footage, the management for being so rude and racist and overall in the venue for not getting what we paid for. My poor friends who had travelled miles for the night were left feeling racially attacked and like they wasted their money. Would not recomment this place for any reason. The floor is sticky and VIP area also sticky and gross, the alcohol cheap and poisonous, the bottles are clearly refilled and the only helpful people were the floor staff who informed me that the management is constantly racist and this happens often apparently and that I need to take this up with the owner, Igbal" -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg186273d4858738r426310553ShooshhBrightonEastSussexEngland.html,Date of experience: October 2016,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,unknown,Disgusting racist and should be closed down,"I was here with friends and was shocked to see bouncers acting like tyrants with every single black man.

The Bouncers completely ruined our night. They allowed several teens who openly admitted they were under 18 into the venue, and they were simply told that they were not allowed to drink. However, when my two friends who are 18 attempted to gain access they were met with a very rude and dismissive rejection. This may have been for several reasons, however when the only two sober 18 year olds not allowed in are of a differing ethnic background to the bouncers, the topic of racism is called into question. After refusing to see any form of ID from one of the boys, the bouncers forced the rest of us back in to the venue and continued to allow other 17 year olds in to the pub. After 40 minutes my two friends decided to leave and we were all left agitated and disgusted with unfair treatment of the two. This was only built upon when the party was shut down early when the bouncers claimed that one of the boys tried to swing for him. This turned out to be untrue as the boy was not intoxicated or violent. The actual circumstances were that he had been punched in the back of the head as he was walking away by one of the bouncers. Many onlookers corroborate this version of events. NEVER have I experienced such unruly, aggressive and vulgar behaviour from bouncers. It was clear they did not want us there and found reasons to get us out. I must say, the bar tenders apologised several times and made it very clear it was not them who had complained and complemented us on our civilised gathering. If I had any advice for people wanting to have any form of party here I would suggest you DONT unless you want you want half your group waiting outside, the odd person punched and the group racially segregated." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg186411d667952r333812164TheOriginalOakLeedsWestYorkshireEngland.html,Date of experience: December 2015,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,unknown,Racist!,"This pub is awful, they just let English people in.

We could clearly see space and there were people coming in and out. Next we thought Ok maybe he is right so we headed to the club entrance. I immediately approached the bouncer in a friendly manner and greeted him. I then asked about entry and coincidently and rather abruptly he said ""no space"". I was then shocked to see he had let some white Europeans in immediately almost 10 seconds after us. I the asked again is there no space at all. He goes ""no, no space"". We were dressed in shoes and blazers for which we would usually get into fancy Mayfair clubs in London. There was not a single ounce of doubt in my head that this was definitely because we were Asian. I am warning you. If you are ASIAN or BLACK Do not go to this club. The bouncers define racism.

The bouncer at the entrance denied him entry at the pretence of dress code as he was wearing sneakers and then he asked us to step aside. And just 2 mins later 2 other men in sneakers went in. Then a group of people with torn jeans and sneakers went in and we were astonished as to why aren't they denied entry. Upon confrontation this guy says they have a reservation and so if you can pay 650 he can make an exception. Now it was clear he was taking us for a ride. I asked to speak to his manager to which he replied wait here for 10 mins and he would be here, of course no one came, later on his colleague comes in saying I am the manager and justifies saying it's his bouncer's rule and his discretion here so he can deny entry to anyone. At this point we were furious because we were being descriminated against. Here are a few photos can't upload a video here the whole episode where you can see him allowing others in sneakers and denying us on the same ground.

The door woman is a stuck up, foul woman who shows no compassion. Myself and my two friends waited in the queue for roughly an hour only to be rejected by this disgraceful individual. Despite being on a promoter's guest list and only 15 people max having got in, she claimed that there was a ""limited"" guestlist and therefore only two of us can enter. The underlying implication was that one of us was not good enough for Cirque. I understand that Cirque has an image to preserve and want to attract the right clientele but none of us are ugly so it was simply a ridiculous judgment. There were 4 girls in the queue behind us who got let in, no questions asked. One of which I knew and who, as a favour, asked the doorwoman to let myself and my friends in. Her response was that we were not ""Cirque enough"" which sounds absurd considering we were all well dressed. She then specified exactly which one of us could come in coincidentally my white friend and not either me or my friend who is mixed raced. This was downright racist and absolutely appalling behaviour on the part of a club which is in the most diverse city in the world. The door woman looked at us as if were scum which I found even more degrading considering she could have at the very least shown some respect or been polite. She then proceeded to tell us to stop standing near the queue although I was trying to speak to the promoter to understand what was going on. None of us were drunk and nor do we look like rowdy girls who don't belong in this scene considering we all went to private schools. I am certain it was solely based on race as when I asked my friend who was let in what it was like inside she noticed that everyone was European and that there was no one of colour. It's an absolute shambles. I do not recommend going here unless you want to greet someone at the door who discriminates based upon race, in other words Hitler.

And to anyone thinking I'm playing the race card or being sensitive I quote the clipboard guy ""no you told me you was with the blonde guy not the black guy"". He repeated this 3 times. My friend in shock tried to explain why he would say he was with the blonde guy when he has no idea who that guy was. One of the bouncers said ""he's with the black guy"".

At this point my friend and I along with the bemused blonde guy who was on a list are all removed from the queue.

Neither of us are religious and we're both big fans of South Park, Beavis and Butthead, King of the Hill, Family Guy, etc., so we knew this production should be right up our alley. Only problem is, those tv shows are actually funny. Book of Mormon just isn't funny. The line ""I have maggots in my scrotum"" isn't funny it's just stupid. It's really stupid by its 4th repeat. Writing a comedic play like this particularly where they're toeing so close to the racism line would take great satirical skill, which I thought Parker, Stone, et al., had in spades. Trust me they don't. At least they don't show it here and the play does slip into some very unfunny racist views. This play is exactly what you would expect if it was written by two immature 9year old boys who just found out that farts are funny. Vulgarity, cursing, bodily functions in the right hands, these can be the basis of great comedy see Mel Brooks. But it takes talent, and Parker and Stone's comedic talent is nowhere to be seen in this production. And that's what I'm criticizing the comedy. It's just not funny. At all. But...the production values are very good. The cast NYC was great, the singing great and some of the lyrics were very clever. But again...funny No. Now, I know a lot of people think the play is hysterical and I've talked at length with them to find out what they found funny. And, usually, they can't point to anything or what they do point to never holds up outside the theater. Try this with a fan: ask them to repeat one single joke from the play that was funny. Not verbatim just the general ""funny essence."" I haven't come across one fan that can do it. They might think they can do it at first, but then, when the joke comes out of their mouth, I just look at them and watch their face as they realize hmm...yup, that's not funny and sometimes you can see them realize: yup, that's racist. Mormonism, for better or worse, has plenty of fertile ground for vicious satire check it out for yourself on wikipedia or elsewhere on the net. The result should have been a hilarious play.

The music is excellent and the lyrics, though crass and filled with expletives, are smart and witty. The staging is brilliant somehow simultaneously over the top and simple. The cast is phenomenal Josh Gad is fantastically and lovably geeky. My face hurt from laughing and smiling during this show, which is not something I experience on a regular basis. We plan to see it again soon.If you enjoy South Park, you will enjoy this musical. My 73yearold father does not like South Park, but loved BOM. However, in general, if you think South Park is intolerably offensive, you will likely not enjoy this musical. I can think of a fairly long list of friends and family who would not be able to stomach this show if you cannot laugh at your religion, are very literal in your religious views, and/or wouldn't be able to tolerate blasphemy in any context, you will probably hate this play. However, most of the people I went with identify with an organized religious group including Christianity, Judaism, Unitarianism, and Buddhism, represent multiple racial/cultural backgrounds, and age groups 23 to 73, and we all enjoyed it very much despite the fact that there were parts of the play in which the jokes specifically targeted each and every one of us at some point. The play pokes fun at just about everyone and everything like South Park, they dont hold back when dolling out the jokes. My husband and I were both speechless the first time we heard Hasa Diga Ebowai, but in the context of the show as a whole, we've accepted it as an undeniably catchy song with some pretty good points about the effect of human misery on faith. There are words in the show I would never use, and lines in the show that go against everything I believe in, but I would still recommend it to anyone but the most conservative of my friends and family. I think it's ultimately positive about the value of religion and the joy it can bring us, and that there is an underlying faith in the inherent goodness of human beings, which is refreshing compared to the negativity we see in so many other forums." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg187069d12955572r622821903ArkDeansgateLocksManchesterGreaterManchesterEngland.html,Date of experience: June 2018,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,"Kathmandu, Nepal","""Racist Bouncers !

The manager turns up and tells us that unfortunately we are not allowed entry and should decide to look elsewhere as our tickets will be refunded within the next 24 hours. I can say for sure that we were not allowed entry due to the mixture of ethnic groups amongst us and the manager was clearly English as this is the exact same thing the bouncer stated also said that this has happened on several occasions and youre not the first ones. The bouncer apologized on behalf of the manager which i appreciate coming from the bouncer, However we were told that we will be refunded with our sum within 24hours as after speaking to the bouncer , He clearly said that the only thing i could help you with at the time being is an advice that you must get your payments now otherwise they will delay refund transactions and also said if they deny to give you the refund on the spot, Make them aware that you will make a complaint and escalate the matter further and eventually they will return your money which they ended up refunding in cash. However, this is very unacceptable from the manager as firstly throughout the conversation we had, we were very polite with him from the start and did not want to give him any reason however he still decided not to talk to us after we asked him the reason we are not let entry very politely and told us to move away from the site when they owed us 200!!

You'll have to pay for a table with a minimum spend of 50 euros for drinks, per person, before you go in. Although I don't think that rule applies to the locals too.What puzzled me is why one HAS TO drink alcohol when clubbing!!! I suppose they should just say that the entrance is 50 euros,and that would sound better because not everyone drinks alcohol. FYI We were in a group were not everyone drank alcoholNow, the price of the entrance fee or 'entry for alcohol' wasn't the main issue, but if I am going to spend my money, no matter how little, I should be happy to do so. I should not feel like I am paying my hard earned money and begging to get into a place where I do not fell like I am welcomed.I personally found the manager, and the door man to an extent, 'power tripping'. I wouldn't go as far as saying they were racist, although his/their demeanour didn't leave me with many other options. I hate to say, but I would not recommend this club to a minority person/group. You're better off spending 1000 euros where you're welcomed than 10 euros where you are at best tolerated.One of the the manager's parting remarks was '...this is the best club in Bratislava'. But if he didn't get my reply on the night, and I know he'll probably get it now, 'I've been to clubs from Tokyo to London, Mexico to Dubai, and around the world, and I've found only one club worse than yours, and that's 'Coyote Fly' in Riga. 'Best' doesn't necessary mean what you can squeeze out of your patrons in terms of money, its the experience and your expertise in delivering'.

The company employs and encourages Racist behavior. I and my wife had an awful experience in one of the tours to Grand Canyon and this post will reflect how badly the company manages and handles such Racist behaviour. I have travelled many countries but this was the worst Racist comment I've ever come accross. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE TOURS FROM THIS COMPANY.Following is the point by point story of this terrible experience.1 It was a single biggest mistake of booking a Grand Canyon tour through this company, Anyway, our tour coordinator Jeff a day before asked us to hop on the bus which has a signage of 18002 Grand Canyon on bus from treasure Island.2 We were putting up in Venitian Resort however Jeff insisted that the pick up point would be from treasure Island to which we agreed to and we were asked to reach the pathway of treasure island at 6.10 am.3 Around 6.05am we spotted a bus with the signage 1800Grand Canyon near treasure island and we were trying to find a door way to get on the bus. At that time, the driver was continuously honking at the car which was ahead of the bus. My wife went in front of the bus and asked the driver to open the door, to which his reply was get off the road in a very arrogant tone. He opened his window and told us that we are at a wrong spot again arrogantly and we need to be at the treasure island pick up point to which our reply was why are you shouting at us He shut the window off and he kept honking at the car ahead of us. And then, he continuously was honking for about 23 mins at a stretch at 6.05 am. This was a behavioural issue of first speaking to a Woman in that manner and then shouting at us of why we are standing at the wrong spot. This happened because we live in Venetian not treasure island, in no way we could've known the exact location of the pick up point and even if we we're at the wrong spot, the driver could've been humble enough to tell us that and show us some direction on where to stand, instead of was fuming at us.4 After the bus came at the pick up point, we went inside the bus, and he told us that we we're standing at the wrong spot. But since he was shouting at us earlier, I told him that this is not the way to speak to anyone and he needs to speak with us nicely. To which he started arguing about the situation and in that I told him not to spoil our morning and our trip to Grand Canyon and in that argument he said, I don't know how you two me and wife got in this country and he continued with his statement which was in relation to our Nationality and that nobody wants us here. This was a Racial remark against my community, nationality and to many such Asians especially Indians who are in the United States and such kind of behaviour is unacceptable. I told him to Shut Up and we decided to stay quiet since we did not want to spoil our trip but thought about registering an official complaint against the bus driver as well as the company who employs such folks which is disgraceful. 5 After speaking to their manager DAN from Grand Canyon Tour Company he asked me to send an official complaint to the email ID, to which I did. The reaction was very subdued as if they have already decided to do nothing about it, anyway I emailed them giving them a full picture of what really happened.6 Since then, not even a single apology phone call or even a revert on my email is made by the company which is disgraceful.Therefore I urge all folks especially Asians who are in search of Grand Canyon tours to look somewhere else and not this company who employs Racist folks." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg45963d1637112r631896826TheGrandCanyonTourCompanyLasVegasNevada.html,Date of experience: September 2018,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,"Racist driver ""luxury vehicle"" was like riding in a trunk Company won't respond STAY AWAY!!!!","This company doesn't even deserve a 0 star. My husband and I did the ""VIP Hollywood tour"" though this company at the end of September when we went to Las Vegas and it was the biggest mistake of the trip.The website boasts ""luxury vehicles with WIFI"" but it was a Ford F550 bus As per Steve from guest relations on another Trip advisor review, the vehicle was to be one of their ""fleet of luxury Mercedes"", with no shocks, no legroom, no WIFI and 3 of the 5 TVs on the bus didn't work. To top it off, it's supposed to be a siteseeing tour, however they covered the bus in a black wrapping so you couldn't even see out the windows. It's a 14 hour tour. It was like riding in a trunk. picture attachedThe driver Nino made racist and derogatory comments about women and other cultures the whole day which we found very offensive.Not once did anyone tell us that there was no supper stop, or to pick up food at one of the stops, so we didn't eat from 1:30 when we had lunch, until 11:30 when we got back to our hotel. The website advertises a free ballcap, however when we inquired we were told that they were out, and to contact the main office. As per below, the main office doesn't respond to anything. At the Santa Monica pier we were told to go explore and meet back at the restaurant at 1:30. We got to the restaurant at 1:26 and were yelled at by the driver for being late. Santa Monica we had less than a half hour. At each stop we were dropped off at some random point, given vague instructions and left on our own to see who knows what, we weren't told. At the Chinese theater in Hollywood the group was taken to a mall, directed up the escalators and then left by ourselves to figure out what the heck we were supposed to be looking for apparently the hollywood sign which we found out from another tour groupAbsolutely terrible tour. Waste of vacation time and money. What makes it worse is we've contacted the company multiple times, even spoke to a woman named Rose over the phone who promised she would handle it, and no one will respond. We've also contacted the better business bureau, who advised that this company has an F rating because they won't even respond to them regarding past issues.SAVE YOUR MONEY. Go with a credible company with inoffensive drivers with vehicles you can actually see out of." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg45963d1637112r475659663TheGrandCanyonTourCompanyLasVegasNevada.html,Date of experience: April 2017,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Lots of 'padding' and long waits,"The actual 3 hours at the Grand Canyon's West rim and the Skywalk were wonderful and I encourage other visitors to see this spectacular sight. But if you have a fear of heights, I'd advise not actually buying a ticket to walk on the Skywalk until you've seen it. It was the bus trip itself and the bus driver that spoiled what should have been a spectacular day.Scheduled for a 6:10 a.m. pick up at our hotel, we rose at 5:30 a.m. and were at the designated pickup spot by 6. When the bus arrived, we were told it was not the bus which would take us to the Grand Canyon it was only a shuttle which would take us to the office of the Grand Canyon Tour Company not at all what we were expecting. Once we reached the tour company's building, we waited outside in the parking lot for 11/2 hours before boarding our bus then sat on the bus for an additional 15 minutes before leaving. One of the reasons we chose this tour company was because their website stated we would not need to disembark and wait for a shuttle once we reached the Grand Canyon and that their company was the only one allowed to drive onto the reservation This turned out not to be true and like all the other companies' buses that came onto the reservation land, we had to take a shuttle to the three sites at the rim. But it was all the delays and 'padding' during they day that made the trip tedious. Along the way to the Grand Canyon, we made a trip to the Hoover Dam Walkway where the driver kept us on the bus in the parking lot for 5 minutes telling us what we were going to see. I mean, seriously We couldn't simply get off the bus and see the sight And, quite frankly, we saw just as much when we drove over the adjacent road later twice, so the 1/2 hour stop was unnecessary. When we arrived at the Grand Canyon at noon, the driver said he expected to leave ""around 3:15."" Given his penchant for repetition, it was surprising he only mentioned the departure time once and didn't tell passengers when to be back at the bus. It was less surprising when several of the passengers didn't return by the 3:15 departure time. We ended up waiting another 40 minutes until everyone was aboard and we could leave.During the 13 hour day, we were 'treated' to stops at two different gas stations, as well as racist and sexist comments from the driver plus complaints about tourists and how when driving on the Strip he liked ""to play a game where we get the bus as close to the pedestrians without hitting them."" We also got the 'benefit' of a 15minute hard luck story about how little drivers make and how he, the driver, did so much for the passengers because tips are important. Though the website and the sides of the buses proclaim ""Free Wifi"" there's apparently no service for most the area the bus travels through so why advertise something that passengers can't actually access Power outlets were available in each seat row and the driver encouraged passengers to use them to charge their devices, but none of them worked the passengers tried them all. What should have been an amazing day turned into a 13 hour slog broken up by a 3hour visit to the stunning Grand Canyon. We checked other tour companies after our adventure and it's always going to be a long day but this was still long in comparison. And the driver's incessant rambling only made the day feel longer." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg45963d1637112r474835718TheGrandCanyonTourCompanyLasVegasNevada.html,Date of experience: April 2017,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Lack of customer service and caution for Any Asian for attend the tour,We attended 1 day west rim tour.

We had absolutely no WiFi on bus 1963. The only time we had WiFi was when we parked next to another Grand Canyon Tour Bus at a rest stop and we could use their signal until we pulled away when we lost the signal immediately. They picked us up in a luxury bus, right on time, from our hotel. That bus then dropped us off at their ""terminal"" where we had to wait in a long line that snaked back and forth like at a theme park ride to reach a counter where we were assigned to our bus... Our bus was old, had window shades that you had to manually roll up by hand as they were broken, and offered no WiFi. Our driver used foul language over the P.A., and made racist as well as inappropriate comments directed toward our Japanese passengers who did not speak nor understand English. The driver showed us a pirated copy of a movie, and then proceeded to show us a pirated copy of a Las Vegas ventriloquist show that contained many sexual and homophobic innuendos. We were highly offended, as were the passengers sitting across from us. At the end of the tour, the driver told the bus load of people that since we were running late, he would be dropping some of them in a central location close to their hotels instead of at their hotels and they would have to walk. Lots of arguments ensued between the driver and passengers. We were not at all happy, and embarrassed for international visitors to Las Vegas and the USA who had to endure the time spent with this driver. The Grand Canyon was just beautiful and we were afforded plenty of time to take in its majesty. It's just a shame that the tour company permits a driver such as this man to represent them." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg45963d1637112r371799635TheGrandCanyonTourCompanyLasVegasNevada.html,Date of experience: April 2016,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,"Bizarre, Awkward, Racially Insensitive ","Proof that advertising campaigns work. WOW.First impression VERY disorganized! The ""hotel to hotel"" pickup and drop off was not at our hotel, but rather a nearby hotel. This was made clear to us when we reserved over the phone and was not a surprise. However, what was not made clear was the bus we got on at ""pick up"" at a nearby hotel was not our tour bus. It was just a pickup bus. We didn't know that's what we were on until we arrived at the tour bus company site and the bus driver finally said something to us. We'd been on the bus picking people up and getting ourselves situated and never once did anyone tell us this wasn't our bus. Actually, the bus driver never said 2 words to us other than clarifying our names before we got on the bus. So we packed up our stuff again, in a rush to get off the bus, and were corralled into the ticket building where there was a long line went pretty quick, actually and 'breakfast' a coffee station individually packaged danishes you might see in bulk boxes from BJ's or Costco. Not entirely impressive, but then again, what else would be expected.The feeling at this ticket building and the busses was complete chaos. Employees holding doors open doesn't equate to an organized presentation. No one seemed to know where to go to get to their bus. We figured it out by watching others who had asked about their busses, but it seemed like a grand majority of patrons learned where to go by also asking other patrons. Not a great way to promote on site safety, considering busses are coming and going and patrons are walking around the parking lot lost and confused. In addition, as I was first in the line for our bus, attempting to start an orderly line a safe distance from our bus aka ""in front of the bus, not between 2 busses"" a man walked up in front of where I was standing and declared himself 1st in line. Then came the rest of his family. Apparently, in some countries he didn't speak a word of English you have to be hugging a bus door in order to be considered 1st in line. So some sort of sign or placard that indicates a safe place to stand in line for each bus is something I would recommend highly.After finally boarding the bus this process took forever while all passengers watched our bus driver do his pretravel walkthru we were on our way. I must add that our bus driver didn't address anyone standing in line while he entered and exited his bus on numerous occasions. We had been told the bus number by another bus driver, but some sort of acknowledgement we were in the right place at the right bus, while we all stood there acting as this guy's audience for quite a lengthy time, would have gone a long way. Maybe even a statement that he was doing a safety check and would be done shortly, or something. Busses were leaving what if someone in line was in line for the wrong bus numberOur bus driver was 'Texas' born and raised, but still, he was really good with regional facts, trivia, and typical tourguide humor. He took his hands off the wheel a few times to point things out to us, but the ride was smooth and entertaining. His driving skills seemed to be really good. Which brings us to the actual Grand Canyon West site on he Hualupai Nation lands. WOW. What a madhouse of chaos. This place is a blue ribbon tourist trap. Are there views YesIs the Grand Canyon a majestic site to behold Absolutely!Was every man, woman, and child treated like a dollar sign YES. Overwhelmingly, YES. It was a disenchanting experience before we even made our first of the 3 stops along the Hualapai Nation's West Rim tour.The first stop is a mock Hualapai Village. The 2nd is the SkyWalk which you need to pay extra and can't take anything onto it with you no phones, cameras, bags... nothing, and the 3rd is a scenic outlook over the canyon. There is a large raised section of canyon wall a mound, of sorts that you can climb and see in 360 to the canyon, all around. The location is super clean. The employees were all extremely nice pleasant. The bathroom facilities were clean, functional, and well kept. The Grand Canyon Tour Company's bus company's box lunch was sufficient to address hunger, but that was it. A bready sandwich, chips, and a cookie. The bus was comfortable but the WIFI was a sham. It's not that we 'might' get kicked off or have a bad connection b/c so many ppl are accessing it at the same time like the bus driver told us. We know this because no one was on the bus when we tried to connect to it and it still wouldn't let us connect. The fact is, the WIFI does not work. It is not connectable. The bus WiFi was a selling point when purchasing our tickets. There were a few selling points, actually. Among them were: the breakfast, box lunch, WIFI, and early return time. I must note that the bus driver stated the WIFI would be very iffy, before we even left view of the parking lot. He also noted that the company has been complaining to the WIFI provider about it and they're trying to get a better system in place. So, this being known, it is safe to say the company knows it should be telling all ticket buyers this fact since WIFI is such a big selling point for this bus company, compared to others.The rest stop our bus made halfway to the Western Rim was at a gas station I like to refer to as ""the saddest place in America"". Congratulations Arizona, you win the boobie prize for this one. Bus tours stream through here numerous times a day. I was aghast at how trashy the outside of this store was. The bathrooms in the store weren't entirely impressive. I'd call them 'marginally clean', at best. And there were not enough stalls to address a bus load of people.Our time at the Western Rim was 'adequate', and I only say this b/c we purchased our tickets at a discount price. If we'd have paid full price for this my review would have been a more pointbypoint analysis of the tourist trap both of these operations truly are. I expect more from an experience that takes me to an American gem and some of the most unique geologic formations on the entire planet. People came from all over the world on our bus, alone to see this site. What was offered all of us was 'adequate' on all fronts.What may be daytoday visual experiences for people who live in this region of the American Southwest is something tourists are likely seeing for the very first time. This is a concept that is clearly lost to the bus company and the Hualapai Nation, per my experience on this tour.After finishing our tour of the Grand Canyon we still had 2 hours left to our 4 hour stay. We wound up booking an onthespot helicopter flight, and that made our day complete. It was very basic, but that was what we needed a quick out and back. It was pricey, and I think that's the point. The more you spend, the better time you have at Grand Canyon West. This disappoints me not because we don't want to pay to play, but more because 'this is the Grand Canyon'. When you're surrounded by this much beauty and geologic history you shouldn't have to spend a fortune to enjoy your time while being surrounded by it. IT should be enough. There were no trails to walk on. There were no paths to traverse. No uniquely possible photo spots.Every single place we were corralled into so were, also, droves of other people. Every visible area was saturated with bus loads of tourists. There was not a single place of peace at this monstrous geologic site not one. If anyone was looking to have a spiritual experience at one of the most glorious places the American Landscape has to offer, the Hualapai Nation made it nearly impossible to do so. As I mentioned, we did a helicopter tour to the bottom of the canyon and then a short river boat run. The helicopter was safe and smooth, and well worth the trip. It's pricey but worth it. I suggest comparing prices of buying onsite vs. in a combo with your bus ticket, because I think there's a difference. We went on a helicopter tour at the last minute because the rest of the sightseeing at the ""West Rim"" was such a disappointment.We arrived back at the bus 1 hour before our planned departure time, as reiterated by our bus driver. He had told us he would stay with the bus so we anticipated he'd be there. When we got there he was nowhere to be found. More people showed up directly after we did, and they knocked on the bus door. The weather had shifted and it went from cool and breezy, when we arrived, to chilly, windy and drizzling in the last hour, only, our driver was nowhere to be found. A bunch of people stood between 2 busses to keep warm. And more people arrived at the bus. It was cold, windy, people were in shorts and short sleeve shirts, and we couldn't get into our bus. People knocked. Another bus driver of a different bus swore our driver was in the bus, so he knocked. Finally, a couple minutes later another person knocked and up popped our driver. The ride home was ... bizarre. That's the best way to describe it. Our driver, whom we already considered ""racially insensitive"" understatement, due to his numerous racially driven statements on the ride to the Canyon, took to singing out loud speaking a bunch of the punchlines to the dialog that was being played on a video he put in for us to watch. I suppose it's nitpicky in a way But he puts a video in a comedy show playing on the Las Vegas strip and then he announces all the punchlines directly before the punchlines are delivered by the people in the video. So it's like why are we watching this It was more weird than annoying, but he wouldn't stop and so we were trapped there as we listened to our bus driver predeliver the entire script, at points, of this video, and then awkwardly look back at us people in his eyeline for what seemed to be some sort of approval. It was weird. I'll definitely chalk it up to that. I suppose it's when our driver started smacking himself across the face while driving us back to Las Vegas that I started to think maybe this guy has been behind the wheel a little too long. And, when he made a small number of sexually inappropriate jokes at the expense of women which my husband found 'awkward' because there were women present we just sort of grimaced and cringed, speechless. And if that wasn't enough, I have to laugh when I type this, my husband did not respond to one of the inappropriate jokes and so the bus driver clarified the punchline by enunciating loudly what he thought my husband simply did not hear. When we finally escaped the bus he told me he didn't respond because it was offensive to women and not something he would want said in front of his wife me, so ignoring it was said at all seemed to be the most reasonable thing to do. It was like the bus driver had no sense that his nature would be considered a mite bit inappropriate to the English speaking patrons aboard.We arrived back at the hotel by around 6:00pm 6:30pm. Right before dropping off the first bunch of people at their hotel the bus driver reminded everyone that drivers don't make that much as drivers so tips are greatly appreciated, and the recommended tip amount is 15.00 to 20.00 per person. Literally, the bus driver told us all it is ""recommended"" that the tip be for 15.00 to 20.00 per person. We laughed at each other when we heard the driver recommend how much each person tip we really did. We were going to tip anyway and we did tip him anyway. It was the way it was said to the tourists, it was just another awkward moment on this bus. We had started out our tour with racially inappropriate behaviors toward nonEnglishspeaking patrons. We then listened to numerous racially insensitive remarks, which seemed to flow without a care in the world, fall out of his mouth between here and there. We'd been made to stand out in the cold, wind, and drizzle while he slept in the bus he told us would be open and available to us during our time at the West Rim. We listened to him make inappropriate sexist remarks jokes, sing louder than the radio for a stretch of awkward time, verbally predict entire sections of a video he put on the tv's for us to watch, and we watched in confusion as he slapped himself across the face on numerous occasions on the way home. But yah please do ""suggest a recommended tip"" of 15.00 to 20.00 a person. By all means! Look at that, I'm chuckling again Hey, what kind of vacation doesn't create a quirky memory or twoMy advice for this tour company and this tour to the West Rim Hualapai Nation of the Grand Canyon is to just know what you're getting into. I won't say don't do it, but I will say to read all the different ranges of reviews before deciding. Read some good, some bad, and some neutral. It'll help you understand what others may have gone through and then help you determine how much you think it's worth to get to the Hualapai Nation lands because you can drive there yourself quicker and easier. We took this tour because it was convenient to have someone else drive we thought and there was supposed to be WIFI to keep us busy." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg295424d15140666r6503591481OAKDubaiEmirateofDubai.html,Date of experience: January 2019,Middle East,United Arab Emirates,Emirate of Dubai,unknown,Top ,"Loved this place Great music, beautiful and stylish people, top service.

At Opium, I spent some of my favourite nights in Barcelona, and it's definitely the best club I've ever been to. The music is great, the atmosphere is great.

You shouldn't have any problems getting in based on race despite some reviews you may read, I'm black, two of my friends are Asian, and we had absolutely no problem.

Perfect to avoid the 1520euro entry fee. The drinks are quite expensive but you can only complain so much when they're filling three quarters of your glass with vodka!I'd heard about Opium and read mixed reviews here on tripadvisor. Personally, I'd give the place a five star. There are all types of people there, locals and tourists from allll around the world. The smoking/outdoor area is awesome, we actually spent most of our last night in Barcelona tipsily bouncing around and dancing on the white sofas outside in the VIP area outside which was so easy to get into, even without wristbands with all of the new friends we'd made.

AMAZING,"Don't believe the bad reviews about this club, it s the biggest and the most tourist friendly club in Barcelona, you can meet people from all over the world dressed up and ready to party. Everyone dress up so if you are heading there with a snickers and expect the bouncer would let you in, do it on your own peril, my advice is dress up... This place gets packed almost every night of the week, drinks are 14 euros each, i think for a nightclub of this scale it s very reasonable... Some reviews mentioned rude staff and bouncers, in my 8 nights stay, i went there every night and i have never had anything but a smile or a nice chat with the staff, the drink costs 14 euros may be to leave a one euro tip to the bartender think about it : ... because he will, you always win when you tip the bartender , about the bouncers if you are well dressed and you are handling yourself , they won' t bother you they are just doing their job, some of them are actually fun, had few chit chats with some of them,, most of the times you see some touristic police with them on the outside to secure the exit which is very good. Some reviews mentioned racist bouncers towards some, i think it might be true, but the true reason about it is to prevent some professionals to get in, but i think you can still get in dress well come early from the see side entry and go early for dinner , you are sure to get in." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg187497d2386989r167632467OpiumBarcelonaBarcelonaCatalonia.html,Date of experience: June 2013,Europe,Spain,Catalonia,unknown,"Glam, Young Crowd, Commercial Music, Expensive","Had a 15 Strawberry Daiquiri early evening after a long day at the beach, lovely comfy, white lounging chairs DJ made it was quite difficult to leave.....if we could have afforded another cocktail!

The tickets are sold by guys hustling on the street, and I get the sense their contractors not employees, so they can wheel and deal on prices. Face value of the ticket is 30, but quickly if you show that youre waffling or wanting to make a deal, the price starts falling. We got 2 tickets for 30. Ive read that folks have scored a 10 pp price. So all in all, 100 for a couple hours entertainment would not be bad. But oh man, it was bad. When I decided to write a review, I read some others beforehand and actually the other reviews are spot on. I appreciate the fact that discomfort is necessary to affect social change and a lot of comedians aspire to do just that. I can also appreciate that some comedians can go overboard and if s/he has the misfortune to have a sensitive audience member, it can lead to a bad reviewthis should be a rare or occasional combination. HOWEVER, the show was replete with overt racism that offends a person of average sensibilities. The all black cast took their pound of flesh and then some. Worse yet, all but one of the six or so performers were talentless. The one who wasnt talentless would almost qualify to be a warm up act anywhere else. I hope this review helps.

I appreciate intelligence in my comedic favourites. Being a comedian is a tough gig and requires skills most dont have. Hence why people can charge money for being good at being funny. It requires smart wit, on the spot thinking and stage charisma. These guys had very little of those things. My opinion is not king, however, I feel that when a comedian uses mostly only insults to the crowd, racism, sexism and stereotypes Im wondering why youre in the job If youve lost that much sincere interest in your writing, why are you there And thats sort of the vibe that came across too they didnt want to be there. Its easy to stereotype, thats almost copying every other try hard out there. Its easy to insult, were naturally quite judgmental. Its easy to be sexist, we havent long moved past gender imbalance, most current generations remember it. And racism is a problem thats very much alive and is actually considered a crime where I am from. Racial discrimination isnt tolerated in my country. Their shows were easy. I could have gotten up there and done more or less the same gig if thats the clubs Level of expecation. Im not a precious type at all, in fact, I laughed a fair bit. Problem here is that I will have a giggle at most things. I laugh at myself. When Im alone.And I dont mind a bit of banter, its my favourite game. But this was too far.There were two blokes out of I think 6, that really werent too bad. They were funny without having to pull apart the crowd without distasteful talentless linecrossing. 3/10" -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg60763d4406482r629128594LoLNewYorkNewYorkCityNewYork.html,Date of experience: September 2018,United States,New York NY,New York City,unknown,Islamaphobia and Misagony at LoL Comedy Club,"September 8:The last comedian pointed to an Indian person in the audience and said, I am afraid of youYes, you the brown personYou know when you hear Arabic you know you think, hes a terrorist...Come on admit it. He pointed to someone else and said, you know you are afraid of himYou know when you are getting in a plane and you hear Arabic, you are like I am not getting on here. This is about to blow up. I gave him a thumbs down and got up to leave, when he said, did I offend you. I responded, this is Islamophobic, you are a fueling hate. It is not funny, and it is not okay. He replied, fine if you dont like it, leave. Just take your ugly face out of here. In defiance, I took a sit on the front row. I was not about to let an Islamophobic and racist individual intimidate me. For the remainder of his act, he made rape jokes targeting me. He told me to leave again, but I didnt. His rhetoric got worse and he began inciting violence in the audience. He encouraged one girl to beat up the people who had walked outAt his point at least 7 people got up and left. I love comedy, it is a coping mechanism for a harsh world. I tend to have a dark humor and I am okay with being made fun of. I went there to laugh. Yet the problem is that Islamophobia is never funny. Inciting violence is never funny.I had managed to keep my composure throughout the show, yet as soon as the Colosseum was over I broke out into tears. On my way out, the show, several people came to thank me and to tell me how sorry they were. My response was to ask them why they didnt walk out. One of the individuals who approached me said, I wanted to see what he would say next, it was a car crash. But it wasnt funny. I am so sorry. Herd mentality compounded by a comedian spewing hate is lethal during an administration that empowers islamophobia and misogyny. Ravi the person the comedian targeted said the following: He didnt ask my name or where I am from or what language I speak or what is my religion. He was just looking for someone to make that joke and selected me because I am brown. This is a stereotype...What scares me is what he is speaking could percolate into the minds of the audience and lead to violence. It might reach the minds of people like Adam Purinton in Kansas City. Recently, Purington fired a weapon that killed Srinivas Kuchibhotla and injured Alok Madasani. He did this after screaming a familiar phrase which I heard at this show, get out of my country terrorist. What gives me hope is that for every hateful incident, I know there are 10 people who oppose it and stand up.Ravi is a software engineer that came from India looking for opportunities. He grew up watching Nova and dreamed of being a scientist in the U.S.After the incident I went to speak with the manager.As I spoke to her, she smirked and rolled her eyes. When I pointed out she was not taking this seriously, she said: its my face. I asked, will you continue to book him. She said, there was nothing she could do. Someone began recording the conversation.She threatened to call the cops as she said it was illegal for bystanders to record her. She said, delete that now or we will call the cops. At this point, I told her I was walking out unless she was going to hold me against my will. She told the guard to stand by the door until the police arrived. The people recording were afraid and deleted the conversation.

Racist, terrible terrible comedy appalling business model","Before I begin, I've been to LOTS of standup around the world, and I've even performed myself a few times. So I don't use the term 'racist' lightly. More on that later. Also, I have done over 40 tripadvisor reviews and this is my first EVER '1star'. Once you've bought your ticket, the club itself makes you buy a minimum number of drinks/food to stay or they kick you out effectively doubling the ticket price, but just enough to stop you walking away. On top of that, they have people selling tickets on the street lying to you saying 'you get two free drinks with the ticket' or 'insert famous comedian is performing a secret gig to test material' which isn't always out of the question in time square to a naive tourist. While this isn't the club directly, they clearly weren't surprised to hear this when I told them. So from the start the audience has been lied to, doesn't want to be there and is pissed off.When I was there, they were running two shows simultaneously slightly different start times so that they always have something about to start, both with about 15 people in the audience with the 5 or 6 comedians running between the two stages presumably repeating the material. I felt sorry for them to be honest, it's a dreadful venue and some of them were OK I'm being very generous here I've seen worse once or twice. However, the final act who I won't name kept picking on the only black person in the room making comments like 'are you carrying drugs, I know most minorities are' and blaming the audience for not laughing at other comments because they were 'PC' rather than perhaps realising he wasn't funny. I've honestly NEVER seen racist material on stage before I'm 30 and from the UK and I really didn't expect it in NY of all places.I actually asked the guy who was picked on afterwards what he thought turns out he was a professional standup comedian and he thought it was racist too. We bonded in a bar over a few beers and how unbelievably terrible the whole evening and set up was and it was honestly the best part of the evening. AVOID AVOID AVOID.To be balanced, all the ingredients were there for a good comedy club venue they just need good comedians and a ticketing structure that doesn't leave people hating the place. For the sake of comedy and comedians everywhere, in the nicest possible way I hope this place goes out of business or improves!.

When we came to the place, we were forced to order two drinks or snacks each cheapest at 6. After that, there was an additional mandatory tip of 19 on the receipt and then a tax for all of that, including the tip.The show itself was very unprofessional and all the speakers were talking about similar topics: mostly poor racist jokes.

Show times are flexible and you can use the ticket over a wide range of time. We used the 10:15 PM show time and a midnight show time followed after hours.You are ushered upstairs to the fourth floor and eventually admitted to a darkened, smaller room that may hold about 30 people with a variety of tables.Did they tell you there was a minimum two drink limit per person which will add another 40 a couple onto the bill. In fairness, I believe that all the New York Clubs may have that caveat.On to the show. The host comes out and attempts to warm up the crowd with a barrage of racially sensitive verbiage I wont even call it comedy as it is anything but. Behind us sits two young ladies that were obviously there to laugh at anything that was said or not said. The host berated them about their moral low ground and they laughed even harder. This was getting really hard to endure.The first comic was actually not bad and we thought, sans host, this is funny. However, the remaining four comics who do about 710 minutes each; were terrible and I believe, they thought the more F bombs they dropped the funnier they were. The last performer was the worst! As people began to leave in the middle of the act, we left as well. This was painful to sit through. Do yourself a favor and do not subject yourself to this torture. Summary, the cost is cheap and you still do not get your moneys worth. I am no prude and have heard adult comedy tastefully done, this was anything but!

What can I say, was a fantastic night. Firstly I thought I wouldn't get in as I was dressed as Alan from the hangover complete with baby Carlos and was suprised to be welcomed in. Secondly the music was awesome. I stayed in the house/dance bit most of the night although the RB bit eas pretty good too. Didn't like the cheesy pop section but that's just a matter of taste. There were 1 or 2 idiots in the club but you seem to get that in places with a high footfall like this one. Some people just can't handle there drinks I suppose! Which brings me onto the subject of drinks prices. I would have given this a 5 out of 5 if I didn't have to remortgage my house for a round of drinks. That was the only spoiler really but it seems to be the way of things to charge a fortune for drinks in a nightclub. I noticed a few accusations of racism on previous reviews. The group of lads I was with consisted of my Jamaican father in law and 3 Asian friends. None of them had any trouble with the security staff.

To start, I have always been a fan of cameo Bournemouth because of its four areas and popularity bringing in a diverse group of people, mainly I enjoyed seeing familiar faces. That is about where the benefits of visiting this venue ends. The floors are often sticky, mainly in vinyl, but also in other areas. The drinks are far too over priced and there is a lack of selection, for example there is no beer on tap and if your planning to purchase a 330ml bottle of Budweiser or Becks on a weekend expect to pay around 4.50 this is probably one of the cheapest drinks on offer excluding shots., please note these prices don't apply on a Wednesday where drinks are a good value for money but other factors can still lead to a disappointing night. Staff I mean staff excluding security do a very good job in general and are always positive when serving and happy to help. One factor of the low rating regarding this review is the overcrowding which mainly occurs on a Saturday night where you feel as if you are in a constant cue and if you were unfamiliar to the venue I wouldn't be surprised if it took you 30/45 mins to find the way out. The ultimate factor in which leads me to believe that I will never visit again is the SECURITY.This is where this review begins to get more than just an aesthetic and personal review but it also shows the morals in which this nightclub upholds please note I am a male, a young male just like a third of the clientele this venue receives. Earlier this evening or should I say morning I was previously in Bournemouth on a night out and I decided I would meet some friends in Cameo Bournemouth not thinking there would be any issue with me entering as I have previously been able to enter throughout all stages of the night although, maybe not so late as this instance. I approached the doorman and roughly 4/5 others at 02:05am to be told that I could not enter due to the grounds of the club being now closed for entry, although I found this shocking as the club was not due to close until 4am I wasn't bothered to much of an extent because I could understand that they needed to stop entry at some point. I then called my friend and alerted her that I could not gain entry and I would either go home in a taxi or wait for them to leave, HOWEVER! While I was on the phone I could see a member of the security telling two girls that I had recently been told the venue was now ""closed"" and that they should wait out of sight until I had disappeared. I did not disappear! while the two girls were waiting across the road staring blankly at me waiting for me to leave, I also saw another girl gain entry shortly before the two girls previously mentioned proceeded to cross the road to gain entry for a second time. Cut story short, all three girls gained entry after I had been told it was closed and that I would not be able to gain entry under any circumstances and when I approached members of the security of course they are unable to reason with. This leads me to believe that the club is sexist and just not worth a visit if you care about equality. The club has recently been in the news for being racist, at first I was apprehensive, but after receiving this appalling quality of service today I am now sure that this was a genuine act of discrimination that the company carried out and its a shame to see that the same is still happening to this day. This venue needs to learn that people should all be treated equally no matter who they are because although they think they might know who they're dealing with in terms of customers that have an influence of the reputation of the business, they really have no idea and to treat customers in this way is unacceptable." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg186262d7186288r356255528CameoBournemouthDorsetEngland.html,Date of experience: March 2016,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,unknown,Don't bother unless you're under 20,"Literally full of really young people who just want to not remember anything and start as many fights as they can.

I used to love White and I would recommended it to everyone. Used to go every week to the Urban Nights on Saturday. Last Friday I decided to try out another night at White and bring along my friends from Switzerland. I told them how great White is and that we will have an amazing time.We did not have a reservation that night so we went to the walkin queue. It was 4 of us and we thought we were dressed appropriately for a club of this type just to find the arrogant person I can't say lady, because ladies don't behave that way at the door looking at us from HEAD TO TOE! Even if you want to check people's dresscode there is a discreet way of doing so rather than shamelessly looking a person up and down with an arrogant smirk on the face. Do you think that people are that desperate to get into this club Before the person even answered with yes or no, we turned around because we are not desperate and we don't tolerate lowclass behavior like that..... There is something called : RESPECT and this is a value you should teach your staff.I understand that this person makes up for her nonexisting manners and brains with her looks, but she doesn't even recognize an Herve Leger dress : which she probably can't afford anyway so I don't blame her there. I suggest you post the following list on your website/social media:""Rules and regulations for White wear your highest heels : everyone loves girls who can't walk in 15cm heels flats are just ""so not classy"" wear your shortest skirts and by short we mean it should look like a top and you just forgot to put pants on skirts that cover thighs or go below the knee are just not acceptable we suggest you wear 1kg of make up, bright Ronald McDonald lips and Courtney Love Eyeshadow and Liner we don't want you to have fun unless you are ready to spend over 10k the walk in line is there to humiliate you so don't bother we do support racism and disrespectful behavior we are here to ruin your weekend ""This club is now on my blacklist, probably not for long since I am sure they will rebrand it in maybe a year or so, like all clubs in Dubai....

While we were there several people just walked in. When we asked the doorman why they were just walking in, he said that single women were allowed and people who had booked tables. At least 100 people who were not all couples, or single women must have walked in. When we protested we were told that they had a door policy of either reservations or couples entry. This was difficult to understand as we were 2 couples and we were appropriately dressed in elegant casual clothes and had in fact come from two other clubs. The doorman was noncommunicative and almost hostile when we asked him why we were being asked to stand outside and not allowed to enter. We left the place and then spoke with the Manager of the place, Mr yehya , on the phone , who was nice and apologetic but could not explain why we had been refused entry . He informed me that the doorman was a certain Mr Ali but did not know his last name. I would not like to label the place as racist , but their policy seems to be to keep foreigners out.

Tried several different times. They kept telling all the black ppl that it was a private party on the third floor so they couldn't go up. However, they would let all the white ppl go in just fine. Finally, when I couldn't take hearing that line again, I asked the gentleman how he knew that I was not there for the private party. Wait for it. ...... He said because they had a list, but there was no list in his hand. I asked if he could check to see if we were on this ""list"". He called for the manager and the mgr came down to speak to us. When I told the mgr what was said, he admitted that there was no private party or ""list"". He said we were probably denied admission bc of the dress code. I then pointed out that we were ALL dressed very nicely bc we attended a semiformal cocktail party right before coming down to Beale St. After giving us all a look to check out our attire he then told us that we could pay 20 pp to get in.... no problem. FYI: We watched the door for along time and NO WHITE PPL paid anything to go to the 3rd floor. I was sooooooooo embarrassed that this was happening in front of our of town guest that I brought to Beale street to have a good time. Even more embarrassed that the black workers I talked to admitted that they were aware of what was going on and still worked there. I really used to love going to this place. Before the constant blatant racism, I visited this establishment over 20 times. Bottom floor had live music until it turned into a club sometime after midnight. The 2nd floor is the urban floor. Lots of ganster rap and music of that nature. Hardly any whites go to this floor. Once the 2nd floor closes, everyone from that floor goes down to the 1st floor since it's transitioning from a live band to a rb/rap dj at that point. The 3rd floor used to be predominantly white, but had a sprinkle of nonwhites. This floor plays pop mixed in with current and old school jams. The 3rd floor crowd was as diverse as you could get for a memphis club which is why I preferred this floor. I lived in Nashville for 10 years so it was refreshing to see a club with a semimixed crowd in memphis. This floor stays open all night until the entire place closes. If you don't believe they are racist just stand outside the club and watch the entrance to the 3rd floor. White ppl get in no problem... no matter how they are dressed. A black person can get in ""if"" he A. goes in with a BIG group of white pplB. PaysOn the weekends, they even have guys standing outside of the club and at the corner near blues city cafe giving ""Free"" wristbands to get in the club on the 3rd floor. However, they only give these to white ppl and will make up a lie whenever they are approached by black ppl as to why they can't give them one. If you're black and don't believe try it. If you're white and you don't believe me watch a black person try. I'm leaving this bad review after being denied admission over 5 times due to the color of my skin.

Now My honest review, DrinksVery Good They have some of the best bartenders in Memphis even when it is very crowded, You Are Served promptly and QuicklyServiceThis goes either way on some nights the place is just over run you may get your drink fast but it may take triple the time to cash out if you have a tab going, the waitress usually take their time getting to you if you have bottle service, and depending on your bartender they MIGHT compensate you with an extra drink here or there, certain bartenders have their style of bar tending I prefer to go to the side bar not the main one next to the dance floor I've always gotten quality service there.DJThis is where this place shines the DJ IS EPIC on the weekends if you like dubstep rap mixes and other pop music if not you wont like the atmosphereAtmosphereTypical club, laser lights , couches , and a mini stage.For A club with no cover that try's to maintain that upscale feel to it its a pretty nice place but It does have its downfalls.NotesI've been to this place with great service, and terrible service, the main thing to watch out for will be how the bartenders treat you, I'll never forget the one time a Bartender through My amex card at me upset because I didn't tip before she even realized I Tipped in cash, this one time event almost ruined the place for me but I gave it another try, Be WARNED some bartenders attitudes are piss poor but the majority are the most humble people and really want your service." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg189449d2299330r524999447ColoradoClubRhodesDodecaneseSouthAegean.html,Date of experience: September 2017,Europe,Greece,South Aegean,unknown,A racist working as a doorman,"We was 2 couple try to get in tonight, we white from norway got in but one of our norwegian friends from Iraq with a darker skin that has live all his life in Norway had a HM shopping bag cause we went shopping earlier that day.The doorman asked him to look in the bag, that was okey but when he didn't find anything others than clothes in the bag he touch his arms and all over and asked if he had a bomb on him and was very rude in the way he talked and screamed.

The doorman yelled that he was not giving me that option, the conversation was over and that we needed to leave. I was shocked because I had not done anything to be treated like crap. I spoke to another guy outside that claimed he was the owner and he yelled that he didn't want to hear what we had to say because he was not letting us in. It was all so surreal. They had no real reason not to let us since we were both dressed appropriately. We ended up missing our friends party due to this bars racially discriminatory practices. I will be filing multiple complaints with the Office of Inspector general, the states attorney general and any other place I can go to. Do not patronize this place. They have a history of discriminating against anyone that is not white. Look up their Yelp reviews for evidence. I suggest that everyone else that has experienced this treatment from this bar to report it. They need to be shut down. It's ridiculous that it is 2014 and we still have to deal with idiots like this.

Our whole group were made up of a range of ages and races of people who were sober, acting respectably and were all dressed very smartly eg suits and dresses. We were told once by a bouncer wearing a beanie hat ""not tonight."" As we prebooked a booth and were on the guest list, we repeatedly asked for a reason why not and after repeatedly ignoring us we were eventually told to move on and get out of the way. Myself and two of my best friends then asked ""if we go and stand in the normal queue do we have a chance of getting in"" Referring to all of us He then replied that yes the three of us young white females would get in and we should stand in the queue. At the same time we heard one of the girls on the door talking on her radio saying that a group was coming in and to keep a both free but she was quickly shooshed and told that no, our group was already told by him that we weren't gaining entry and have no chance of getting in. We watched as groups of people who were very drunk and in much worse states than ourselves were allowed entry over us. The clear reason that we were rejected is because he didn't like the look of the people we were with skin colour/slight accent so being disgusted with the treatment we received we then swiftly moved on to the next club down, Lola's, which had absolutely no problem letting us in whatsoever unbiased and non racists, after telling the bouncers in the Lola's of the treatment we received they also agreed that we were grossly mistreated. All in all the outcome of our story is that we won't be giving Kushion our money again as anyone that treats paying customers this way doesn't deserve our custom and we will be telling all of our friends about it. Perhaps they should train their staff to reject people who will actually cause a problem instead of misjudging people who were clearly out for a fun night with their work mates before Christmas and not looking to cause any trouble at all." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg186370d7044204r621988640ZeroZeroBathSomersetEngland.html,Date of experience: October 2018,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,"Oslo, Norway",Racists,They did not let us in because of our race.

You should not give them any of your money. The bouncers are discriminatory and racist. They were unwilling to let one of our friends in, just because of his race. They put it down to how he was dressed, but he was dressed to the same standard as the other men entering the club. It was clear that this was the reason, as it has happened before to other friends of mine.After attempting to have a reasonable discussion with them, they kicked us out of the line. In an attempt to receive clarification from another member of staff, we were simply disregarded. Understandably, the bouncers are able to decide who is allowed to enter and who isn't. However, this was clearly an issue of race. As a result, I feel it is necessary to point out that the people who work here, who represent the attitudes and values of the establishment, are perpetuating a racist policy. The staff here are prejudiced and evidently attempt to create a specific image for their brand, founded on skewed ideals of how both men and women should look and dress. This is even more preposterous considering this club is perhaps one of the lowest in terms of quality and clientele in Barcelona, therefore its concern for creating a specific image doesn't reflect its position in the Barcelona nightlife scene. I've spent a year living in Barcelona and there are plenty of other establishments that are far better to spend a night. I will never return and I will strongly insist on others to avoid this club.

One of my three friends was also going to see the Waitomo glow worm caves, but had previously called the intercity office and was told that we would all be riding on the same bus. While the return trip from Matamata was lovely, our experience en route to Matamata was unacceptable.After arriving to the bus terminal at Sky Tower half an hour before our 8am bus, we were unsure what line we were supposed to wait in. We got in the line for Hobbiton but, because we were unsure, one of my friends went to ask one of intercity's employees if we were in the correct line. She told us that we were while addressing my friend as if she were a small child and not an adult paying customer with a legitimate question.After being condescended to, we waited in the Hobbiton line until we reached the woman working at the counter. I told this woman my name, but she couldn't find me on her list. Eventually she determined that we were in the wrong line and then physically shoved me out of the way of the next customer.Having been physically shoved by one of intercity's employees, we then ran to the other end of the terminal to the other bus. Here my friend continuing on to the glow worm caves was told that she was not on this bus with the rest of my party despite previous assurances that we would all be traveling on the same bus and the previous confusing, rude instructions of other employees. We then were split up and I did not see my one friend for the rest of the day.While on our bus ride to Matamata via Hamilton, we at one point stopped so that one woman could use the bathroom. The driver announced that this would be the one chance to use the bathroom before we arrived at Hamilton, though did not specify how far away we were from Hamilton. As such, roughly half a dozen or so people got off the bus to use the bathroom. After these people returned to the bus, the driver got on the microphone and specifically addressing the women who got off to use the bathroom, and not the men told them that they were rude and inconsiderate for needing to use the bathroom and it was their fault that some passengers might miss their connections and that it was cutting into his break time, and that next time they should use the bathroom before getting on the bus.Beyond this just being incredibly tone deaf and only addressed at the women who got off the bus, and not the men, this was wildly unnecessary. If we were on such a time crunch, the bus driver should have just told the bus that we would be in Hamilton in forty five minutes, instead of implying that we still had a ways to go. Publicly shaming women and not men for getting off the bus to use the bathroom is entirely inappropriate.Meanwhile, my friend on the other bus listened to her bus driver explain how the Maori people were ""barbaric."" This sort of racist rhetoric is entirely unacceptable for reasons I hope are obvious.I would like to reiterate that the return half of our trip was lovely and I have no complains about the way that I was treated on that leg of the trip. But I think it is unacceptable for employees to condescend to paying customers, shove paying customers, shame paying customers for having to use the bathroom and then only shame the women, and then spew racist rhetoric. I expect better from Intercity, and was severely disappointed by the way I was treated.

I feel embarrassed by him in front of others passengers. Well, I never said that I will occupy an extra seat for my backpack, as I will just put on my thigh or floor and it definitely won't affect the other passengers.

As our turn arrived, the bouncer simply looked at us, didnt even let us talk, and directly smashed us with the famous sentence you cannot enter, too many boys. The point behind all this story is the following:We do not look Europeans and we have a Jewish look.The bouncers were three NeoNazis two of them had the perfect look of neonazisThe club is typically antiSemite and anti all dark people.The club simply is bad for Belin because the city itself is magnificent and simply great.

It is a very RACIST environment for locals Asians, not by from crowd but the staffs, they treat customers with different colours differently. A very WHITE SUPREMACY place to enjoy your night, you can have your privilege here and enjoy your night as long as you are WHITE.I made a reservation in the afternoon last Friday hoping to book for the sofa table by the edge, but they told me it's only for a crowd of 10 but not 5, which I understood so at the end booked a small table in the middle instead.Arrived at the place around 10pm, took the small table but saw there were only 3 ppl sitting on the sofa table next to our table, Caucasians customers to be exact. Didn't suspect much cause thinking there would be more people joining that table. 11pm another 2 Caucasians customers showed up and joined that table, and 5 of them sit there until 12pm then they left. So basically you don't need to have a crowd of 10 to book that table, you just need to be WHITE.So after they left the table we asked the staffs if we could switch over to that table, of course they told us that it had been reserved. Sure, after half an hour no one showed up and we asked again if we could switch over, and saying that we could sit together with the 3 Chinese mainland customers which we had made friends with that night and it would make us 8 pax for that table, which we thought would be reasonable enough. But no, the staffs told us that we have to open 1 bottle of liquor to be entitled to sit there, and they claimed that it's the rules to sit that table after 12am. Of course we don't think it's worth it as we have spent a lot on drinks since 10pm and so we gave up the idea.But then this is where the racist part really starts. A group of 5 Caucasians who initially sat at the small table like us, approached the staffs and requested to switch over to the sofa table, out of our surprise the staffs allowed them to sit there, and you know what, they only each had a pint of beer with them, so where is the ""purchase 1 bottle of liquor"" rules We were so mad we asked the staff again why they could sit there and we couldn't, they just simply walked off and ignored to serve us until the end. Seriously Like that's so rude and really WTF.The whole night 8 of us had been drinking 3 bottles of wine, half a dozen of shots a few glasses of cocktail which added up to over a RM1k bill, as for those guys at the big sofa table, they only had 2 to 3 pints of beers each, tops. We were very disappointed and pissed on this RACIST RUDE manner from the staffs towards local customers.TL/DR: As long as you are White, you can enjoy the party here. As for locals, Asians and yellow skin You can come here if you want to experience how to be treated differently among other skin colours, unless you have a White dude or White chick with you, then you will be cool." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg60763d4682641r602843936LeBainNewYorkCityNewYork.html,Date of experience: August 2018,United States,New York NY,New York City,unknown,Racist place,"I've tried to enter the place couple of times.

I have been going there for more than 7 years and have always been quiet and respect full in the cue, polite and courteous when speaking with the staff is also key even if you get refused. once in the venue they do expect respect at the bar, you have to remember they are dealing with quite a volume of impatient and rude people so be patient and say please!!!!!I have in 7 years only ever witnessed so very few minor incidents inside the venue itself simply because they pick a crowd that can for the most part deal with being in there.

I had just a single Saturday night in Berlin, having traveled half way around the world, and was looking forward to an unforgettable club experience. What I got was unforgettable, but for all the worst reasons. After standing in line in the sporadic rain for an hour, I finally was at the entrance. The doorman eyed me with ferretlike eyes and told me to wait while allowing to enter the two Germans in front of me with whom I'd been having a great conversation during the wait. After a couple of minutes wait I was informed, with an air that denoted his clear belief that he was god here, that I would not be entering. When I gently asked why, explaining the distance I'd traveled, he simply stated that I won't. As his 3 henchmen in black moved closer, it was clear they were there to enforce the wishes of their furhrer and that compassion had no place here. For a city that publicly claims the value of diversity, I have to wonder if this was an isolated incident or if the true underbelly may be different. As I walked to the taxi stand, I became aware of and was shocked at the utter lack of ethnic or racial diversity in line clearly the message was already out. In talking with the cabbie on the way home, I learned that nonGermans were routinely turned away and that the German youth who might not get in one night wouldn't say anything in hopes of being accepted the next time. This persecution of those who have little voice visitors and those wanting acceptance seemed eerily close to what was occurring here 70 years ago. Rather than a line of lemurs hoping to enter, I would much prefer a procession of protestors demanding diversity and acceptance. Had I stayed quiet about this, I would be condoning this behavior as much as those who failed to oppose the last Reich. I hope that others will speak out and ensure that this unforgivable behavior and those perpetrating it will be brought to a rapid halt before it spreads further!" -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg60763d12390258r619006278LOLTimesSquareComedyClubNewYorkCityNewYork.html,Date of experience: September 2018,United States,New York NY,New York City,unknown,Racist humor isnt funny,Sad what some people think passes as humor.

As soon as you get there you're made to feel very uncomfortable by security and staff behind ticket stand who when we asked a question about entrance price they turned to one another, said something In Hungarian and laughed in quite a malicious manner before answering us there is a general uneasy and unfriendly vibe. Then after paying an entrance price you have to go upstairs and pay again to use the cloakroom. Me and my boyfriend had no problem with this but at the time did not understand if it was 100 compulsory to have to also use the cloak room to gain entry. We tried to ask the 2 ladies behind the cloakroom this who were disgustingly rude and made no attempt to understand us just screwed there face up and kept shouting the price at us and when they finally understood what we were saying didn't say sorry just looked at each other and sighed and rolled their eyes and exchanged a few unimpressed words in Hungarian. Once inside you still feel uncomfortable by the way the bar staff speak to you and many of the locals stare at you and make you feel unwelcome for being a foreigner. It is clear that the English are not welcome in this club by both the locals and staff members despite it being marketed towards the British with flags on the walls and a hostel upstairs. The owner of this bar clearly has no business knowledge or he would not employ staff with such appalling customer service.

It was around 1AM when we wanted to go for a jive and we didnt think that we needed to make a booking to go to a place such as Societe for a few hours.How wrong we were!! A number of small groups of ladies, including us, were at the front of the queue and were told, by a bodybuilder type bouncer, we cant go in because our names were not on the guest list and we didnt have a reservation to spend a minimum of AED1500.Other groups, who were all Western looking, after some small talk and flirting with the bouncer were let in. We questioned the bouncer and he said they had a booking although he had no paperwork or anything to go by. The second batch of Western looking girls were also let in. I inquired again as to how can they go in and we can't as none of us have a reservation, the bouncer replied ""I don't want to deal with you, go away"", and so we obliged. As we walked away, another group of Western ladies who had just turned up were also let into the club.It seems that this is not the first time Societe has made people feel subjected to such racist practices.

There was never a time I didn't bring a minimum of 610 people with me and I would think they would want that type of business. However, the bouncer outside the door has claimed the last 3 times me and my friends tried to come in that they were only allowing ""regulars""...really I would think me knowing the bartenders and visiting at least 10 or more times throughout the year would make me a ""regular""!!! So I politely ask this ""person"" how does he decide who constitutes as a regular or not and he completely flipped his wig! I ask for the owner/manager and he states he will NEVER want to speak with me, that's why he's there. During the midst of all this, a couple who happen to be Caucasian comes up and he checks their ID and asks a question, she answers and says ""Well, I was here a few weeks ago""...and I guess that was good enough for him because he let her in. He then tells me you can go to the other bars besides this one! FURIOUS is and understatement as to how I am feeling right now! Not to play the race card, cuz I'm usually not that person but as I walk away I notice the place is partially empty and there are only, I do not exaggerate when I say this, ONLY Caucasian people in there. Before he turned me down, he turned down a group of about 8 young black people....but get this....the bouncer is BLACK! Again...really!!!!!

But, like any nation, it has its faults and there are some areas in which the country does not have a good record. Racism is one and maintaining standards is another. Both of these issues are in evidence at Zoo Negara.The race card is played at the ticket counter, where I was charged a 30 premium on my entry price because I was not Malaysian and then obliged to walk around the zoo with a label that read 'Foreigner.' I understand the nationalistic pride that wishes to put Malaysians first all countries do this in one way or another. But charging different prices to visitors to the country and then labelling them as aliens does not send out a good message. And, as someone who feels Malaysian and who loves the country as I do, I was offended and embarrassed by these quite unnecessary actions.The zoo itself is a mixture of healthylooking animals in wellpresented, roomy enclosures and others which are distressingly caged with inadequate room and inappropriate meeting of their needs. I visited Zoo Negara many years ago and it was one of the first to use paddock enclosures to display its animals rather than cages. It was an excellent start which held much promise. But, as so often happens in Malaysia, this was not built on and the zoo is probably worse now than it was 30 years ago. On the plus side, there is an excellent paddock presenting African animals such as giraffe, zebra and ostrich together in a single enclosure with a watchtower for better viewing. I found this innovative and thoughtful. And the new panda house is also an excellent presentation. On the down side, the Asian shortclawed otters, beautiful, playful creatures that are a delight to watch swimming and playing together, were in a cage with a tiny pool of still water which was clearly not big enough to swim in and looked frankly stagnant. Needless to say, the little animals were not in the water, but were literally climbing the walls at the back of their cage. Finally, for all its size, there are not actually many animals here and a significant number of those that are there are doubled or even tripled up in enclosures around the zoo. So there are three tapir enclosures, for example. Lovely to see these animals, but there are so many different uses to which these enclosures could be put to display a wider variety. There are almost no monkeys, this is a country where such creatures are plentiful, but often go unseen. And those that are there are in small cages with thick meshing which makes them difficult to see. Even the ape enclosures, which are nice enough, contained only one chimpanzee and one orang utan, which was a shame.So, all in all, having been offended and humiliated upon entry, I enjoyed some beautiful tigers, wellpresented pandas and African plain animals and had a pleasant stroll through some welllandscaped scenery. But I was ultimately disappointed by the lack of variety, the repetition of some animals and the poor care that others were receiving. As is so often the case in Malaysia, here lies true potential for a world class attraction which fails to deliver because they are unable to sustain a good start and build on it. And I was obliged to pay a 30 premium for the privilege. It would be very easy to put these issues right, but I fear there is not the will to do so." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg1087671d1595517r362701381ZooNegaraAmpangSelangor.html,Date of experience: April 2016,Asia,Malaysia,Selangor,unknown,"Rather disappointing, except for the pandas","Was seriously disappointed by this zoo, especially compared to the Singapore Zoo. Some enclosures were completely empty, and the animals that were there looked depressed and their enclosures were often lacking in terms of cleanliness and space. The bird aviary was absolutely pathetic it was designed as a walkin aviary where you can walk among the birds themselves, but there were only two birds in there, a pigeon which clearly looked lost, and some fat blue bird there were no placards anywhere so we didn't know what we were looking at that was flying back and forth in a pathetic attempt to escape. The walkways are poorly designed, so you're often doubling back to see animals which sometimes aren't there!, and there is very little shade/shelter to be found, which is a serious problem in Malaysian heat. Also, the entire zoo appears to be in construction right now, so visitors to the zoo have to weave between piles of rubble and even a forklift at one point !. What was most shocking was the total lack of respect for some of the animals, which were having to live in cramped enclosures and right next to loud construction. Also seriously shocked by the price! My friend and I are expats living in Malaysia, so when the ticket seller saw our white skins, she instantly tried to charge us RM165, which is extremely extortionate for a Malaysian park, especially of this quality. As soon as we pulled out our MyKads, the price dropped by half, which feels both racist and just generally unfair!The best part of this zoo was definitely the panda enclosure, where some money has clearly gone into making a large, airy space where it is very easy to get a good view of the pandas. If you're into pandas, come for them, especially while the cub is still small and cute, but otherwise don't waste your time. If you're a tourist in Malaysia looking for a nice wildlife park, I would recommend the bird park instead." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg312851d1633688r648207789HieloyAventuraElCalafateProvinceofSantaCruzPatagonia.html,Date of experience: January 2019,South America,Argentina,Patagonia,unknown,"Friendly guides, less than friendly drivers","The minitrek was good. You get an hour at the visitor decks and then are transported to a different part of the glacier, by bus and then boat, to do the trekking. The guides were friendly, funny, very nice. The tours are in English and Spanish our guide spoke perfectly fluent English. The trek was informative. There was whiskey at the end of the trek and water for nondrinkers that I sort of wish wasn't a thing because, as a nondrinker, I don't like subsidizing other people's alcohol costs. Overall, if you have done the Franz Josef glacier trek in New Zealand, I think that one is run better from booking through hiking, but this was still good and I'm still happy we did it. Wear waterproof clothing and hiking boots if you have them; sneakers may be a bit chilly and wet but should be fine too.When you are booking, you have to email. You do not get to choose a time of day; they basically start filling in each day at 8am so if you are the first to email you are at 8am and if you are later to email you get 11am.

However, what happened after the minitrek really upset my significant other and me, and I was annoyed that it put a bad taste in our mouths after an otherwise enjoyable trip. An older tour guide with Hielo y Adventura, who was leading a group before us, was incredibly racist to us and some other Asian people on our tour. After the tour, were waiting for the ferry to take us back to the buses. We were standing in line when the ferry for his group arrived. Instead of telling us nicely that we should wait for the next ferry, he yelled at us and began talking to us for about a minute in gibberish meant to sound like Chinese or Japanese, in front of the other tourists. His attempt to put on a show at the cost of our comfort was severely racist and misguided. That a grown man can behave this way to his own customers is incredibly mindboggling, and sadly, reveals an utter lack of respect for people who happen to look Asian I am Chinese American.

This rude guy seems to be forced to work the same things over n over again for 12 long years which might explains his bitter attitude that he brought from his bitter life.All i can say to Hielo Aventura that, if nothing done here, one really bad egg can spoilt the rest of the teams effort in trying to make a good image for Hielo Aventura...So to all of you who thinking of going for their tour, u can risk spoiling your dream holiday of patagonia with the rude bad egg, or you can opt out the tour which is all about trekking on the glacier which you can do in el chaten instead as advice from the others.

The staff at the door let my friend through with her big bag she was white, but subsequently proceeded to search two of my bags. As an afterthought to not make it look too obvious, the same member of staff searched her bag, after suddenly noticing it. After feeling slightly uneasy about this, I then questioned the bouncerwho advised that their policy is to search every other bag which was inconsistent as why had he searched my friends bag as he had already searched mine. In addition, me and my friend whom I was with, were tailing behind four of our other friends and none of their bags were searched, therefore making their search every other bag policy a load of old tosh. We were meant to be going to The Bramley but accidentally went into the queue of The ballroom as they are so close together so I cant comment on the bar itself, only the inconsistent door policy. When the owner of the Ballroom found me in the Bramley, and offered me an apology about how, the bouncer was feeling really bad about the whole thing, and how he isnt at all racist and then proceeded to guilt trip me I felt he was trying to make me feel bad for making a fuss, and had absolutely no consideration of how this had affected my night in any way, shape or form whatsoever. All the protestations with words about how not racist the bar or any of the staff were, and how bad the bouncer felt , and how he was questioning himselfmaybe he should without taking any consideration of how this unpleasant incident had affected my evening. As we all know, people can claim to not be racist with their words, but at the end of the day its actions that matter. I felt this whole thing had been handled really badly and the owners response was really telling I told him despite anything he said, this incident was going to be on tripadvisor he then said thanks in a petulant way, then walked off.

The two unwelcoming bouncers mumbled a bonjour and let us in ""free of charge"" after searching our bags. A staff guy took us to a bed and handed us a drinks menu. Since we had already eaten elsewhere we were fine with just a cocktail, a water and a beer for the few hours we were there. We spent our time swimming,playing cards and lounging which was fine but the problems started on our exit. My bf was handed a bill for the overpriced drinks with an ADDITIONAL 600 dhms which they said was for bed hire. We were not told this on entry nor did the waiter explain there was a charge. All he asked us was whether we wanted to open a tab for the drinks ALONE!Of course we calmly and respectfully disputed the matter and as the waiter was not really letting us get a word in edgeways he called over his manager who was even more rude, insulting and racially profiling. My bf and I are both people of colour in our mid 20s.The manager was quite obviously intimidated by my boyfriend's physique commenting 'you think it's because you are big you don't have to pay You will not leave if you don't pay'...This completely threw us off but let me know he was clearly insecure, has a poor level of customer service, and trained his staff to follow his poor example...He even had the audacity to suggest we call the British embassy to rescue us if we were broke or we could not leave. They did not care that it was my birthday or our first visit to Morocco or that we had a flight booked in 6 hours time. For us, it was the principle more than the cost. Our waiter insisted that he had told us upon arrival that the tab would include the cost for the bed WHICH WAS A LIE! At this point we were surrounded by a dozen members of staff and their cocky boss who stated we would have been told about the bed fee at the door. We weren't and to top it off when we went over the doorman the idiot shamelessly LIED and said he clearly told us about the price of the bed. It seems like a scam they are running not a business. They talk down to young people of a certain profile.I can assure every reader of this review, that there was no misunderstanding as I am fluent in French. In the end we were forced to pay the bill and were escorted out like street cats in the Medina and it didn't stop there.....we were further conned by their taxi drivers outside the venue!!!WE WILL NEVER EVER VISIT ANY NIKKI BEACH BASED ON THIS SHOCKING EXPERIENCE.....I WOULD ADVISE THAT NOBODY ELSE DOES EITHER.

The two unwelcoming bouncers mumbled a bonjour and let us in ""free of charge"" after searching our bags. A staff guy took us to a bed and handed us a drinks menu. Since we had already eaten elsewhere we were fine with just a cocktail, a water and a beer for the few hours we were there. We spent our time swimming,playing cards and lounging which was fine but the problems started on our exit. My bf was handed a bill for the overpriced drinks with an ADDITIONAL 600 dhms which they said was for bed hire. We were not told this on entry nor did the waiter explain there was a charge. All he asked us was whether we wanted to open a tab for the drinks ALONE!Of course we calmly and respectfully disputed the matter and as the waiter was not really letting us get a word in edgeways he called over his manager who was even more rude, insulting and racially profiling. My bf and I are both people of colour in our mid 20s.The manager was quite obviously intimidated by my boyfriend's physique commenting 'you think it's because you are big you don't have to pay You will not leave if you don't pay'...This completely threw us off but let me know he was clearly insecure, has a poor level of customer service, and trained his staff to follow his poor example...He even had the audacity to suggest we call the British embassy to rescue us if we were broke or we could not leave. They did not care that it was my birthday or our first visit to Morocco or that we had a flight booked in 6 hours time. For us, it was the principle more than the cost. Our waiter insisted that he had told us upon arrival that the tab would include the cost for the bed WHICH WAS A LIE! At this point we were surrounded by a dozen members of staff and their cocky boss who stated we would have been told about the bed fee at the door. We weren't and to top it off when we went over the doorman the idiot shamelessly LIED and said he clearly told us about the price of the bed. It seems like a scam they are running not a business. They talk down to young people of a certain profile.I can assure every reader of this review, that there was no misunderstanding as I am fluent in French. In the end we were forced to pay the bill and were escorted out like street cats in the Medina and it didn't stop there.....we were further conned by their taxi drivers outside the venue!!!WE WILL NEVER EVER VISIT ANY NIKKI BEACH BASED ON THIS SHOCKING EXPERIENCE.....I WOULD ADVISE THAT NOBODY ELSE DOES EITHER.

She was telling everyone that Chinese people all have slender eyes. What a racist remark! She was gesturing the eyes, and she said ""we don't care if you're Korean or Japanese, we call you Chinese, because your eyes are like that"".I can't believe she works in the tourism industry! She calls herself as a tour guide Save your racist remarkst to yourself, NOT to travelers from around the world! Havana Colonial was the tour we booked with a Sunwing reprepsentative at our hotel. It was pretty bad. Save your money for a selfguided tour where you actually stop at places. First half of the day was spent on the road and picking up everyone from their hotels, which took 2.5 hours. Then we arrived at a dingy looking restaurant in Havana for some uncooked chicken and rice. The restaurant was dirty and old looking. The rest of the day we rushed from place to place and only stopped at Old Havana for a 45 mins free time and some walking tour. We really didn't get to stop or see much. The tour guide made the whole trip worse. Delia or so I think her real name is talked nonstop for 2.5 hours since our pick up. She kinda had an attitude, and shared her pet peeves of what tourists complain the most. I disagreed with a lot of things she said, and didn't give a chance to respond. We got so sick of hearing her talk about politics and feminism, while all we needed to hear was the tour sites and a bit of their history. I felt trapped in the tour. She finally stopped talking on our way back. She was also very rude, and argued with us for some minor things. Didn't have respect or sensitivity for seniors or had an understanding of traveling with seniors. By the end she said that she deserved tips, and had to be more than 1 CUC basically outwardly asking for tips. That kind of made it awkward for us. Sugar, Rum, and Cigar tour was alright. The tour guide was friendly and very laidback, and very helpful. His name is Alexander. The tour itself was kind of dry, where you visit the countryside and watch someone cut a sugar cane, then ride a steam train in the middle of nowhere, with nothing to see, except some shoeless children chasing the train for money. It was hard to watch. I think they try very hard to share what they have to offer though, so it's a real Cuban experience nonetheless." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg147275d8843505r608603117NexusToursVaraderoMatanzasProvinceCuba.html,Date of experience: April 2018,Caribbean,Cuba,Matanzas Province,unknown,Havana One Day Tour.

Don't waste your money!,"Stellenbosch is one of the most racist places I have ever travelled to in my life! I have travelled all over Europe, North America, and South America, and have spent many years living abroad as both a teen and an adult, and I have never been to a place that was as bad as Stellenbosch. There was a squatter camp a few hundred yards from my ""upscale"" apartment. It seems like almost everyone in South Africa has a propensity to be dishonest and exaggerate how ""great"" South Africa is, and how their facilities are up to western standards. They aren't. The above I could have handled if the racism wasn't thrown in the mix. I wouldn't recommend going there for travel or studying. I have a 3.6 GPA in the sciences from a top rated university outside of South Africa and deciding to study abroad in SA was one of the worst mistakes of my life. They think all black people are stupid and they will treat you that way. The professors I worked with were racist and incompetent. One of them even went out of his way to try to destroy my reputation with my references after I started standing up for myself. Insults were the norm. Stay far far away from Stellenbosch if you're planning to study abroad and if you want a quality education! There are plenty of other schools that are much higher ranked and more importantly recognized internationally.

But at the main entrance to the mall, a security guard refused us admission and said we would have to walk all the way around to the other side of the mall where there was an entrance that led directly into the restaurant. So the three of us, including my firend's 93 year old father who walks with a cane, did that. Once we were seated inside the restaurant though we saw lots of people entering it from inside the mall. And when we were leaving, our server told us we could walk through the mall to the exit facing the hotels where the security guard had prevented us from entering. It took us a while but we eventually figured out what had happened. The guard had looked at us wearing shorts nice shorts and it is a tropical climate after all! and at our skin colour two of the three of us are brown and decided we were too poor and too dark to be allowed in. It was quite shocking to realize that we had been profiled in this way shocking too because we have visited the mall many times before without incident. My assumption is that the mall management trains the guards to do exactly this sort of screening. It's a moment like this that makes explicit the racism and ugly class divides within Brazilian society.

After walking around for a few minutes, we asked guests and found the unmarked main facility building. Once inside the main building, we found two information people. So you have to find and enter the unmarked building to find the very helpful information people. It was 50 degrees, so they weren't hiding from the cold.There is no complimentary place to check in your skis or snowboard, but you can leave equipment at the place where you can rent a big basket to store things. It is fairly quick to get your basket or equipment at the basket desk, which are both inexpensive. You should check in your skis or snowboard at the basket desk as they imply it's not safe to lay your equipment around. You should get a big basket for your things, as there are only tiny lockers in the tiny locker/changing area.The snack machines were 95 empty, which sucked, because there were limited food options. When we arrived, the only restaurant we found didn't open until noon or something like that. And a better food option restaurant we planned to eat in after skiing was closed at or before 5pm. Food options very limited. I was interested in buying some googles, but before i found the shop, I was told it wasn't worth finding and or didn't really exist.The slopes are great for beginners and intermediate, as even the blacks diamond and double diamond were all really blues. The snow bases at bottom and top of mountain seem to be less than half of what they claimed.I kept running into abnormally rude employees not guests, and initially thought I was just running into people having a bad day. After seeing those people interact with white people in the same situations, I eventually figured out I was actually running into kinda aggressive racist employees all day.

Near the end of the evening, around 10pm I'd say, 2 staff members from Bartini were cleaning up in front of their own bar and were complaining that people had left glasses on top of their green wheely bin hint: don't leave it in the middle of the street then. As I went to put my glass on top of the bin, the young Malay guy told me in a not particularly friendly tone to take the glass and put it inside the other bar because it's from them, to which I replied ""that's not my job, I'm a customer"". The guy then snatched the glass from me and threw it into the bin, then turned around and said ""this isn't your country either, it's my country"". This threw me off for a minute as I was frankly flabbergasted that someone would say this, especially in a place like club street that relies on foreigners for it's business.I wasn't going to let it rest their so I asked the guy numerous times, are you a racist, do you hate foreigners, to which he admitted that yes, he does hate foreigners. He said those words. After this, I told him he was stupid and where did he think his bar would be if there were no foreigners around There was no coherent reply to this and the female Malay staff member then decided she would also get involved making insults and telling me I was stupid and crazy. They then made a tactical retreat inside the bar and we didn't see them again for the rest of the evening before we left, I think the manager possibly spotted what was going on and told them to go inside but I can't say with any certainty.So that's it, I've never drunk in this bar and I certainly never will now. It's up to you to decide if you want to give your business to a place that insults potential customers and is racist to boot. I'd love to see the management of the place come on here to try and defend the indefensible, but I won't hold by breath." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg34439d217849r242045367SetMiamiBeachFlorida.html,Date of experience: November 2014,United States,Florida FL,Miami Beach,unknown,RACIST DOGS,"Wer shall I start.....

We decided to visit Gullivers to enjoy some cocktails and to play some pool. When we arrived in the pool area it was empty apart from two groups of men playing. The area was maintained by some female staff who monitored the pool tables. It was clear that they were irritated by the presence of a group of females playing pool.They were very pushy when we were ordering cocktails, took their time bringing our change and were also pushy when waiting for us to pay them for the pool table. We had about 4 games between us when we before told that we had to finish up because other people wanted to play. Meanwhile around us the group of men who were there before us continued playing undisturbed. Whilst we were playing we felt rushed to finish, the staff started clearing our table making it very clear they wanted us to hurry up and move. After my friend potted the black ball we decided we would quickly pot the few remaining balls. However the woman monitoring the pool tables came over and kicked us off. Meanwhile the groups of men around us carried on playing undisturbed. It seems that this is a bar which is heavily targeted at men. There are lots of beer, pool tables and women looking to pick up a male customer. Male customers are left undisturbed where as women are pushed about to make room for them.We were hoping to spend the night drinking cocktails and playing pool but instead we found ourselves in a place that was unwelcoming, rude and sexist.

I, as a white man in his 60s, could not believe how he treated some of his passengers, particularly nonwhite/minority ones. He abruptly chastised in a rude and browbeating manner several wellmannered East Indian adults in their 40s/60s talking amongst themselves in their native language, telling them twice in a threatening manner as though they were children to be quiet. Those passengers surprisingly responded graciously. They were apparently talking too loud for Bellows' liking even though he was at the helm 10 feet away with his microphone, but had no problem with white passengers sitting farther away and talking amongst themselves at the same volume level given the ambient noise. In embarrassment, several of the above noted persons later moved farther away from Bellows; the apparent family patriarch moved to the bow of the boat.Likewise, Bellows later chastised another minority woman in her 50s, quietly standing for 30 seconds on the bridge taking photos, 5 or 6 feet from where Bellows was originally standing, before he approached and ordered her to stop taking photos, and then abruptly grabbed her cellphone from her hands. He gave it back after the protests of several other passengers who did not know each other.The Big Bear Lake Marina owner Steve indicated they are not affiliated with the Queen tour other than ticketing, but apologized for Bellows' behavior and offered discounts to those involved for any of the Marinaowned watercrafts. I don't know if Chris Bellows is RACIST or just has ANGER MANAGEMENT issues, but a caveat to anyone who takes a ride on his boat, particularly if you are nonwhite. I would certainly recommend choosing another boat tour as there are several others at different marinas on the lake." -Attraction,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg298507d8092256r380231745BelugaDeluxeStPetersburgNorthwesternDistrict.html,Date of experience: June 2016,Europe,Russia,Northwestern District,"Montpellier, France","Terrible racist customer service, high prices for very ordinary things","Unbelievable, such a horrible customer service!

A group of friends and I stopped by this past Friday for drinks and were kicked out 30 minutes later due to what they called a ""mistake"" but we know to be straight up racism. My entire group was forced out of the bar with no explanation or courtesy, we barely had time to grab our coats. Once outside we demanded an answer from the bouncer and were told that we had a large tab that was paid without a tip. Now there were over ten of us and we had all ordered at least 20 drinks between us and some food, not one of us had run up a tab as large as they claimed 100 and none of us neglected to leave a tip on our purchases. After many minutes of conversation, the bouncer finally told us that they had made a mistake and offered to let us back in. Apparently, it was some other group that had left the poor tip. My group refused to return and while we stood outside on the curb, we did not witness any other individual or group of patrons removed from the bar. The ""mistake"" explanation was thrown at us once we started accusing them of racism given that our group was mainly minority women that didn't fit in with the largely white crowd that night. If they truly did catch their mistake then another group should have been removed from the bar but that was not the case which goes to show that their explanation was really just a lie. One of my friends had not been given a chance to even close her tab so we headed back in to do so. We asked the bartender about what had happened with our group and all she did was laugh and shake her head at us. No apologies were offered, not from the bartender nor the bouncers at the door. This was my first and last time at this bar. Horrible service, terrible music that was played way too loud and bad drink choices. We went to Bond Street Social afterward and the crowd was so much better.

We went there shortly after 8 PM, and the tasting room already had a few customers. We were asked where we were from and answered, saying we are from Turkey. We were six people, so started trying the liquor in twos. After two people drank their drink as a shot we weren't given any explanation as to how the drink should be ""tasted"" as you would expect in a tasting experience, one of the two people behind the counter, a bald guy with glasses started going off about how they were not ""barbarians"" there, their liquor was craft and the establishment rejected serving to customers who did shots. We smiled thinking he was joking, and he said he ""was not laughing"" and asked us to leave immediately, which we did after paying, in shock. An old woman behind the counter kept giving us bad looks as we explained what was going on to the rest of our party.

My friend and 1 visited a few days ago and did not notice any sort of unfriendliness or racism. In fact there were so many mixed ethnicities in the club that I am surprised people apparently got refused entry there were Black, Vietnamese, White, and we are South Asian. Anyway music was AMAZING. A true RnB and Hip Hop club. The DJs really know their music. The setting was beautiful simple and classy decor set overlooking the river. Clean and open space with plenty of room to dance. Bar staff were efficient considering how busy it was. You can't complain about a big club being overcrowded It just means it's a good place to be. Payment is at the end so yes you can get carried away with how much you are spending overall as you have an individual tab for the night. You are given a card upon entering and you get it stamped at the bar each time you get a drink. At the end of the night my friend and I forgot about our cards and tried to walk out security directed us towards the back where you pay. Staff were friendly and efficient no problems at all. I will say however, I dont actually know how much the drinks cost etc we paid a total of 60 each for the night, and we had 4 drinks each. That to me is very reasonable for the type of place it is. If you are looking for a night out on a budget, this isnt the place to go. Dress code smart/dressy. If I'm ever in Lisbon again I will 100 go back!

When I voice my displeasure with her having lied and that I was leaving, she canceled my reservation. Moreover, Marriott did not credit me with the reward points for my stay.

I was thrilled and couldnt wait for a winter wonderland weekend. Sadly Mother Nature didnt play into the fun seeing as there has been no snow here in Minnesota all through December and into January, but the trip was already booked, so we headed up there this past weekend. What a thoughtprovoking experience, the lodge claimed that we would have a fireplace king suite except for the fact that the fireplace didnt work! The rooms temperature was horrible! We could never get the room at a comfortable level because the gauge to the thermostat was also broken. In addition we were on the lower level which is fine if it hadnt been right directly in front of the stairs so throughout the stay we could hear people coming and going. Also, there werent that many guests present so how ironic that we happened to get a family directly placed above us. The insulation needs to be updated because every time someone walked around upstairs it was very disturbing because you felt like they were going to fall through and that made it difficult to rest peacefully. Likewise, we were quite astonished with the service at the restaurant attached to the lodge. We had been given a voucher for dinner during checkin and decided to use it that following night. The service was ok, we enjoyed the food and tipped our waitress at 30 mind you but once she collected her earnings we were useless to her. She never returned to our table to check up see if we needed anything else additionally or even gave us a thank you for our generous tip. Regardless, because the food was so wonderful we thought we would try eating there the next night. Wrong idea! Once we arrived we were disregarded almost immediately by Doreen Gallawaythe head of the wait staff. She tried to make a scene but we read her energy as soon as we stepped in the door and by that I tell you, she made it quite clear blacks were unwelcome. That woman needs a lesson in racial competence, she was extremely rude and clearly based on our interaction with her, has serious issues with cultural acceptance; Looking down on us because we were a biracial couple as well of the fact that Im a woman of color. She also tried embarrassing us in front of everyone by making a scene because we had a preference of where we wanted to sit for dinner and started berating her waitress right in front of usunprofessional, quite unnecessary and classless is how I would some up her personality. Funny some people are still so ignorant, Doreen Gallaway is an illustration of someone who sees color vividly and anyone with differences should be looked down upon and less than because they arent white. For that reason alone I would give this lodge a poor rating because if they are willing to staff individuals who have serious identity issues and discriminate their guests based on their racial or cultural backgrounds, I think that shows the integrity of this establishment. Needless to say, we will not be visiting that location again and if youre expecting a romantic getaway and youre a person of color, or in a biracial relationship, be prepared to be mistreated and disregarded by lowgrade, uneducated, country bumpkins who havent realized that its 2012 and times have changed." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg34439d1811881r655033026LeslieHotelMiamiBeachFlorida.html,Date of stay: February 2019,United States,Florida FL,Miami Beach,"Fullerton, California",UNPROFESSIONAL and RACIST HOTEL,"The worst hotel and overall experience!

I arrived at the Nomad hotel around 2.30 PM yesterday and was told by the receptionist that check in was at 4 PM and that no rooms were available yet. I walked to a seat to wait, letting the Caucasian couple behind me have their turn at the counter. The couple had also just arrived from the airport with all their bags. I expected them to be told to wait as I had been, but instead, I watched as they were checked in and given a key by the same receptionist. I was stunned. I went up to the receptionist and asked why the couple had been given a room immediately if check in was at 4 PM and there were no rooms available just minutes ago. She coldly said that they requested for an early check in during booking. Did they really I told her to check my booking again because I had also requested the same during booking. She had no response. Racists usually dont. For the record, Im an Asian female who was traveling solo. I speak English fluently, have clean hair, and was traveling light. I had just gotten off 20 hours of travel so it wasnt a pleasant ordeal to have to fight for equal treatment at your hotel. Racism is exhausting. Five minutes after I confronted your receptionist, she magically came up with an available room. No apologies. Later on in my room, I looked up your website and discovered something more appalling. Your hotel check in time is at 2 PM. Not 4 PM. Another person on your staff confirmed it for me too. The discrimination was obvious. I wont go into how this incident made me feel, but Im sure your goal as a hotel isnt to make guests feel unwelcome and secondrate. While I hesitate to blame an entire hotel for the action of one employee, there was at least one other employee who was aware of what was happening and heard as I was told that check in was at 4 PM. Racism never makes sense, but its unbelievable that anyone would think a paying Asian guest isnt good enough for equal treatment at a nofrills, airport hotel. So for the benefit of anyone considering your property, I would appreciate a response here explaining your policies and procedures if any against discrimination and intolerance. I stayed at the Nomad hotel out of necessity for transit, but even for necessity, I do not recommend it unless your policies clearly protect against discrimination by anyone yes, including customers at your properties." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg42354d1477345r652853707BestWesternPlusKalamazooSuitesKalamazooKalamazooCountyMichigan.html,Date of stay: February 2019,United States,Michigan MI,Kalamazoo County,unknown,Racial Profiling,"We checked in this afternoon at Best Western Plus Kalamazoo Suites in Kalamazoo, MI and experienced racial profiling.

I am an Asian American and I was the only Asian I could see that day staying at this hotel. I noticed instantly that the staff treat the German speakers way more friendly than me. Not only with a bad attitude, they put me in a single tiny room despite I clearly booked a double room with a double bed via Expedia. I called Expedia twice and they confirmed that I did book a room with a double bed but the staff and manager insisted that I had booked a single room. It took me more than an hour communicating to them and Expedia back and forth and finally they reluctantly agreed to put me in a double room, which I had originally reserved. The manager seemed surprised hearing me speak to Expedia on the phone in perfect English and that I live in America, and it was clear to me that was the reason why they changed their mind. So, for non German speakers, especially Asians, please do take the racial profiling and discrimination into consideration if you are considering this hotel. I will NEVER stay here again. Location wise, this hotel is very far way from the two center where all the restaurants and places of interest are located. It was very inconvenient. The so called black forest view is a joke.

This is absolutely disgusting racial profiling and discrimination by the hotel.Most of the hotels in Brazil have moved to display their prices in BRL used to be USD and Renaissance Sao Paulo is one of the few holdouts Hilton, InterContinental, Grand Hyatt and Sheraton hotels in Sao Paulo all price their rooms in BRL.Hotel uses extremely unfavorable cash exchange rate that is off by 4 to 5 to convert this USD rate to BRL.

I was approached by a man by the name of David Cox, a Hispanic man in his mid 20s early 30s on November 8th initially he politely asked if I needed any assistance where I replied ""no I do not, thank you"" when I continued to walk around the premises among a good percentage of the other visitors as their was some sort of banquet taking place on the lower levels David once again approached me when I found a spot to sit near the restaurants where there were complementary couches for what I could only gather were for business where he then aid I would have to leave the establishment. At this point I could only grow agitated however keeping my composure as I had a conference call to discuss on vacation I kindly decided to not go through the hassle of arguing my point with this man as to why I was singled out among about another hundred more individuals mostly not of color knowing the racial climate of Los Angeles California. But if I were to be asked if this was an experience that I enjoyed a definite no. We came here to escape from the same treatment at other establishments in Los Angeles in the past. In light of the racial bias in Los Angeles from it's less than perfect history I'd definitely recommend the Ritz Carlton for an event free experience as even your profession can be a burden on vacation at times definitely a warmer, smoother environment for all demographics to enjoy." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg189542d617491r576360430DanhostelHelsingorVandrerhjemHelsingoerHelsingoerMunicipalityCopenhagenReg.html,Date of stay: April 2018,Europe,Denmark,Zealand,"Struer, Denmark",Horribly horribly beds and racial profiling,Beds are impossibly soft not suitable fro sleeping inStaff are very in your face and artificially polite.Officially there is free coffee but apparently only for Danes as they pretend not understand foreigners when they ask for it.

I arrived at the hotel at 1:30 PM, requested a room with two separate beds or at least a sofa to lounge around. I was told that if I am back at 3, they will have the room ready. I come back at 3 and they didn't have any room ready and there was a new receptionist who had no idea what i was talking about. I was asked to come back in another 45 mins. I come back and there is no room ready as housekeeping hasn't even started cleaning the assigned room for the past 2 hours and 15 mins. I then insisted on sending housekeeping to the room right at the moment, which the receptionist kept refusing and eventually agreed upon after such a long timeconsuming debate. I went to the room, and the housekeeping is chilling in the room listening to music with zero sense of urgency. She spoke no English and called her boss over. In the process, she called me a ""china"" just because I am Asian. Racist much Totally unacceptable, offensive, inappropriate, unnecessary, and illegal. The housekeeping supervisor arrived and starts AGGRESSIVELY yelling while not apologizing. After another round of long and exhausting argument, which should never happen in the first place, the supervisor agrees to clean the room with her staff and got the room ready by 4:30. I was made to wait for 3 hours on a Saturday afternoon just for their lazy staff to coordinate and get the freaking room cleaned!!! Plus the racial slur by the housekeeping staff. This is such a ridiculous way of treating platinum members. The housekeeping supervisor said she will ask the general manager to contact me, but nobody reached out after over 2 weeks. I logged a ticket on the SPG site which was ignored for months and 5 round of follow ups. The GM reaches out offering no proper apology nor recognition of what happened, offers measly 9,000 points which he never even deposited and stopped responding.

The Italian restaurant also refused to give us a table, and I had to ask the hotel staff to help us.

THE WORST HOTEL IN THE WORLD,"Hello,I am glad that I have had an opportunity to give a feedback. I only wish that the owner/senior management of the hotel reads this. We checkedin on the 04th Oct for 5 nights till 09th Oct 2016 and stayed in room number 410.I and my wife are doctors, surgeon and a physician respectively, originating from India, settled in Canada. We are widely traveled, to over 97 countries with several dozen bookings from Booking.com. I want to state that I went through the worst humiliation and racial abuse at this hotel. The matter was brought to the notice of Mrs Dilek, Manager, personally, who promised of action but was repeated again and again for the next two days. When we checked in I had the worst of experiences. The receptionist was unwelcoming, outright rude, making fun of our origin, asking if we were Muslims and then mocking at the negative reply...... After checkingin we asked if tea can be given. The receptionist while we were at the lobby answered that there is no tea and this is not a tea shop like you have in India. Trying not to make a scene we avoided contact with the reception. However he once shouted at my wife, ""Oh Lady come here"". We avoided all contact and insinuation.On the 06th night, can be verified from the calls to the reception, I requested if the wifi can be made ok, as the wifi in Room 410 is pretty weak and would turn off by itself. The receptionist shouted...""So what can I do .... Tell anyone else...whole city like this."" I believe the hotel has a recording of all conversations. Please do check this. All incidents till this point were personally informed to the manager, Mrs Dilek. She noted the details on a paper, but no action was taken, as the abuse persisted.Before checkout I had sent a mail for checkout at 1.00 pm. This had been personally approved by the manager. However when I told the receptionist at 10.30 am that I would leave the room by 1.00 pm, he was so rude, saying that there is no manager here, today is Sunday and only he is the boss and made fun of me, making faces, mocking me. I felt like reporting him to the police for his behavior. He said what do you think of yourself I also traveled to USA, Europe...don't think much of yourself and so very much more. ""Make sure that you are here at the reception before 1.00 pm or else...We are doctors, done fairly well for ourselves, financially very well off. One does not expect that from a receptionist. Some dignified reply, some decency, and most of NO ABUSE ON ACCOUNT OF MY SKIN COLOR OR RELIGION, is least one expects in any reputable hotel.I have never stayed in a hotel with such poor reception staff. I wish I had not stayed at Deluxe Golden Horn Hotel.IF EVER I COME TO ISTANBUL AGAIN, I SHALL NEVER EVEN GO NEAR DELUXE GOLDEN HORN HOTEL, LET ALONE, STAY THERE.WHY DOES THE MANAGEMENT NOT REFLECT ON THE FACT THAT, A WELL DONE UP PLACE, WITH THE BEST LOCATION IN ISTANBUL, WITH EVERYTHING ELSE GOOD, HAVE A LOW RATING ON VARIOUS SITES. REFLECT AND DELIBERATE ON THIS, YOU WILL SEE THE BEHAVIOR OF THE RECEPTIONISTS RESPONSIBLE. AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, I AM DONE WITH THIS HOTEL. HOWEVER BEFORE I CLOSE THIS CHAPTER, I SHALL SEND A DETAILED COMPLAINT, INCLUDING TWO AUDIO RECORDINGS OF THE RECEPTIONIST TO THE CONCERNED MINISTRY OF TOURISM.

I was simply bringing the issue to his attention so it will get fixed but he didnt care, not only that but he was so rude during the entire conversation. He didnt even apologize for the inconvenience and didnt even offer an assistance to find an ATM nearby. Ive stayed many upscale hotels where Duty Managers were at helm to greet and engage with guests to ensure that guests are well looked after. Sadly he was measurably failing to look after his guests and being extraordinarily Duty Manager. It was also sad, no one seemed care about the first impression, as walking in to the hotel main entrance, Ive noticed cigarette butts all over.

Yesterday04/10/2018 was our last night in Switzerland, staying at Eden Palace au lac hotel, the best position beside lake Geneva and we have already paid the fee in advance. There are two staffs at the reception table, one male and one female with white short hair. She asked for our booking information and told us we have to go to another Hotel named Hotel du Grand Lac Excelsior, which location was quite different from the original one. We asked the reason and she said the whole rooms on the third floor were flooded with water and they were not able to offer any rooms.Since we have ordered the room month ago and we did not receive any email or phone calls in advance. We required to see the problem of the room on the third floor, they refused with no patience and said the hotel manager could come to solve this. At this point, the woman's attitude became very bad, and she started to communicate with the man in French. She even throw things on the reception desk deliberately!When we were waiting for the manager, a British man was warmly welcomed and successfully checked in to the room on the forth floor.Then the reception told us that the hotel manager was busy and will not come to see us. We feel very sad because we received no RESPECT at all.The reception desk of their hotel has a key counter, anyone who leaves the hotel should keep the key at the reception. Then we asked the male staff why the keys of the third floor were only six on the shelf The rooms need fix and so do the keys His faced turned red immediately and he could not even say one word! Then he explained that there were only six rooms unavailable on the third floor! He was telling lies!The female worker is very impatient to say that she did nothing wrong, so did we. And the ""decision"" was not made by her, she could not change the result and we have no options. I guess it was a very interesting decisionWe finally asked three questions.1. We booked the hotel a few months in advance, and you didn't inform us in advance, even not inform us during the day, could you explain it2. At the beginning, you said there was a problem with the whole floor, and then it became only six rooms. You lied to your customers3.

If you believe in treating people from different countries and cultures equally, avoid this place. If you don't care about that and are of Indian origin or at least look like you are, it's not bad and you shouldn't experience any discrimination. I just don't feel good supporting a hotel that believes discriminating is acceptable. I was even told management supports this kind of behavior. The 6th floor of the hotel stinks horrifically in the halls. It will make you feel sick to your stomach just walking to your room. The decor and electrical are horribly outdated.

The rooms were large, though none had air conditioning we stayed in two different rooms on either end of our stay in Joburg and it was extremely hot in both rooms, and the last one had a timer on the lights where they would strobe starting at 3am and there was no way to get them to stop. This location came highly recommended to us, and while we loved our stay in Melville, would not stay at the Space Guest House or recommend it to friendsespecially if they are traveling with people of color.

After having placed our drinks order with Thandi, who removed the extra plates serviettes, we went to help ourselves at the buffet. On returning we found two men seated at our table. We spoke to Richard, the supervisor, who refused to move them because, in his words, ""it might cause an incident"". On one of the previous evenings we observed Richard requesting another white couple to move as a black couple were already seated at that particular table. When the waitress returned she placed our drinks at their table was surprised when I told her that we were no longer sitting there as two black men were now occupying the table of our choice. Thandi said that this was nonsense asked the men if they would move, which they did. We remained at another table because we had by now already started eating. Thandi was highly efficient attentive handled the incident with politeness graciousness. She was extremely apologetic for something that was not her fault. We felt that it was because we were white that nothing was done to rectify the situation caused by Richard's refusal to act.

My family and I wanted to extend a room until 5 pm for checkout, which was clearly asked at the reception desk a day before. The receptionist knew that there were no more rooms for us, but told us to ask for extension the next day morning anyway. When we asked for room extension the next morning, another receptionist told us that all the rooms were fully booked. We then asked to leave for the airport at 12 pm but was promptly rejected by the receptionist. The receptionist told us that they scheduled us for 5 pm, without our consent, and denied any changes to be made.On the other hand, one of the staff threw rude words at us when 5 of our people who are staying at Beach Villa visited the other 6 people at Ocean VIlla. The staff scolded us that we were not allowed to enter, even with the our family members' consent they were staying at Ocean Villa, in three different rooms. The service staff at Ocean View treated us like criminals, watching our every move. I feel extremely uncomfortable and even threatened by the way they treat us.Secondly, we felt a strong racial discrimination between a few service staff that held higher positions. Besides that, most of the service members did not smile nor show enthusiasm in serving us, but were kind and polite to guests from Western countries. For instance, one of the service staff that helped us get on the boat blocked some of our family members from getting on the boat first and let the other Westerners go on board first. They only relented unwillingly when we told them we are a family and should board the boat together.Third but not last, the living standards are not worth the price we paid. We requested an extra bed for one of the rooms in the Beach Villa, which I slept in, but the bed spring was damaged. The two nights were absolutely horrible for me, and I did not sleep well at all. Besides that, the waiters at the restaurant were terrible as well. A glass of water might as well take eternity to come as some of the waiters pretended not to see us or waited until our section's waiter came to serve us.There are still a lot of problems with the management at this resort that are not stated here. The manager at the resort definitely has issues with management and should be removed or at least sent for management classes. I urge Adaaran Select Hudhuranfushi's owner to take immediate action and offer compensation for our unpleasant stay." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg304038d15850744r660241410WildRoverHostelHuacachinaHuacachinaIcaRegion.html,Date of stay: March 2019,South America,Peru,Ica Region,State of Sao Paulo,discriminatory and racial profiling hostel,"The hostel staff caught a girl smoking marijuana close to me and the manager called my girlfriend to talk thinking it was her.

As this was at the end of the day and the pool was due to close I decided, let it go, move on and have a better day........boy was I wrongThe following day wasn't so bad, food was as grim as the day before with fancy named dishes that the eye translated as 'slop trough', the Tagine was as dry as a camels back side as was the chicken, one bonus, fresh oysters, I took a chance and didn't get ill they were actually very nice and fresh.The day after was where all hell came loose, following a relatively pleasant day, eating the same slop, how does a country like Marakesh who have bountiful quantities of spices and herbs in the market fail to send any of them to the Aqua Mirage, catering team I spent my time in the 'quiet' pool enjoying conversations with my fellow guests, 6pm rolled around and out of the pool we all go, following the lifeguard chaining up the perimeter.As I'm collecting my gear to take back I hear a massive splash and behold two young French girls having a lovely old time in the pool while their mother filmed them, so I figured hey, why not colleect a little evidence myself, then realising how creepy it would look filming young girls, i decided not to hit the record button but to display that I if this was a British family they would have been kicked out without a moment's hesitation.As the mother saw what I was 'doing' she approached me very aggressively and took my phone, which I struggled off of her rescuing my phone, however, saw her fall on her back side, her daughters screamed for security who also came a' runnin' and it was here that the French were given the opportunity to defend themselves and in the red corner, myself with no recourse to a defense. Fortunately some of the English guests who I was conversing with came to my assistance to make up numbers and defend the position of my situation.Following that evening's meal I was then approached by the 'hotel manager' and asked to come with him and a security guard. I was lead into an office and I was asked to give my account of what happened which I did, they then also brought up the incident with the lifeguard the following day and said that 'we are evicting you for your inappropriate and aggressive behaviour' I stated to him that he was displaying 'racial bias' by allowing this to happen without due process and ignoring that the French guest had their part to play in all of this too. Unfortunately for me, the hotel manager got very upset and shouted in my face 'ARE YOU CALLING ME RACIST, I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO INSULTED' I again stated my position of racial bias, trying hard to explain to him what this was versus overt racism, but I may have just as well been trying to show a labrador a card trick, never the less he continued screaming about his no racist bone in his body bla bla bla......Nevertheless I was evicted from the hotel at 10pm on 19th July 2018 from the Aqua mirage, where I decided to leave the country despite having another 7 days left that had been paid for, my wife and children also decided to follow me home, much to my chagrin and 555 to my credit card, but one thing we know to be.......WE AINT GOING BACK TO AQUA MIRAGEIf there is anything you should take from this review......never go back to the same place twice and there is a strong racial bias from the staff at the aqua mirage, which is different from overt racism" -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg255100d255448r655916856QualityHotelBatmansHillonCollinsMelbourneVictoria.html,Date of stay: February 2019,South Pacific,Australia,Victoria,"Seoul, South Korea",Suspecting racial discrimination.,"I am writing on behalf of my mother.

The positive ends there, however.We arrived fairly late in the evening, and the night staff was neither efficient nor friendly. For a long time they couldn't find our reservation, then sent us to a room only to call us back to the desk saying no, that room was occupied, and they would have to give us another. Before ultimately deciding that it was indeed unoccupied and sending us back to the same room. But the bigger issues were:1 we had specifically bid on a fourstar hotel. This property as clearly explained by posters on the wall behind their reception desk apparently has both 3star and 4star rooms available. Even after I showed them the receipt for the 4star reservation, they without apology assigned us a 3star room2 that room was quite cramped and poorly designed, and generally did not represent what most people would consider even a threestar experience3 upon arrival, I was asked if I wanted a double bed or two twins and I indicated that I definitely preferred a double bed. Without explanation or apology we were instead given a room with two awkwardly arranged separated, arranged in an L arrangement twin beds. I had the impression that this may have been related to disapproval toward us for some reason. Just because we had booked the room at a ""good"" price Because we are a samesex couple Because we are an interracial coupleThe property was definitely disappointing, but I suppose poor, not ""terrible"". And the service from the ladies at the front desk the next morning was fine, actually. But the service from the night staff definitely warrants a ""Terrible"" rating for this property. I would recommend you avoid it, and definitely avoid bidding with Priceline for a 4star hotel in this area, until they drop this property as one of their providers." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg1006845d148598r638040291WyndhamGrandRioMarPuertoRicoGolfBeachResortRioGrandePuertoRico.html,Date of stay: December 2018,Caribbean,Puerto Rico,Rio Grande,unknown,Total lack of respect,"Today as I was driving to check in to the Rio mar resort and also go into the convention I was stopped by a parking attendant who wouldn't let me park my vehicle in the garage he told me I had to park at the convention parking.

After parking I went in the hotel to the convention after a while I decided to leave the property to and come back later. As I was approaching the parking ticket stand the same attendant that I was dealing with earlier started yelling at me and accusing me of lying to him. I tried my best to explain to him I would check in later , I was in my vehicle and proceeded to leave and he continued to yell at me so I stopped my vehicle and got out i told the gentelman he is not allowed to speak to me like that, We went on for about 3minutes all the time he was yelling at me i was embarrassed and humiliated I asked to speak to his manager. To my amazement the only thing the manager could do was defend his actions and explain to me that today has been a hectic day and that people have been caught smoking pot and that the same attendant was almost hit by a car non of which have to do with me. For the manager to explain to me why his employee was irate with me is unprofessional.

We have been staying here for over 3 nights and whilst walking back into the hotel lifts , I was stopped by a Philippine staff standing by the lift area asking for my room number and name. The people entering in front of me were not even though they looked like they have just walked off the beach into the hotels in their slops. On catching him out on this behaviour , his excuses range from 1. If it is a guy and girl together, we need to ask room number 2. If they are going to restaurants we don't ask for room numbers 3. We need to ask room numbers from everyone. Pray tell me how did he decipher that the people with slops and suitcases were going to their restaurant We than proceeded to the reception to complaint about this blatant profiling and a middle eastern guy at the reception told us that the lift guy should ideally be asking everyone but he is human after all so he can miss a few people. What a pathetic excuse for a hotel. I think my husband who is white was more offended than I was when the reception guy kept on saying "" please don't be offended, he is only human "". He completely did not understand our issue. In my 100 trips to Dubai , I have never once been profiled like this minion at this hotel did and than tried to show us attitude like he is the bees knees. I would strongly suggest you stay away from this hotel if you are a person of colour or in a mixed race relationship. There are much better options available in Dubai So you don't really need some lift man subjecting you to profiling and than his ""boss"" patronising you by telling you not to get offended who by the way ate getting paid by your dollars ." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg147249d151277r593271827HotelRiuPalaceArubaPalmEagleBeachAruba.html,Date of stay: June 2018,Caribbean,Aruba,Palm Eagle Beach,"Newark, New Jersey","Security does racial profiling, DO NOT GO NEAR if youre not white","Unlike all other resorts in Palm Beach that allow you to walk in and out of facilities, this hotels security personnel decided to pick me nonwhite out of all other people walking in and out of the property to tell me Im not allowed inside, questioning whether I was a guest.

My trip to the Riu Palace included my fiance, and I. Check In The process was quick. Thanks to Avion for checking us in.Room 639 This room was very spacious. I was not please with the view. Upon, looking directly out of the window not much of a sight, and it was a view of another hotel. You must step out on the balcony, and look to the right you could see a view of the beach. The room up keep was okay.Restaurants Guests had to make dinner reservations for one of the restaurants included with the all inclusive package between 8am11am. We arrived at the hotel Friday afternoon approximately at 3:30pm. That evening our first group predinner reservations was not found in their system. We had to scramble to find a place to eat Don Pablo. Saturday morning approximately 8am as instucted to make dinner reservations. All restaurants were booked. Thank Goodness for Don Pablo and Natulis buffets this weekend. The Riu can do better with their restaurants accommodations for paying guests. These restaurants had two sitting for 6:30pm or 9pm for all their guests, and there was no way to accommodate their guests. We were very disappointed we was limited to where we could have dinner. Thank you Don Pablo for your breakfast, and dinner.Room services and house keeping was decent. Show/Disco The Saturday night show was nice. The disco was fun once it opened up at 11pm. They played a mixture of music for everyone to enjoy. I danced all night.Beach Attendants In my opinion I have travel to several all inclusive resorts, some attendants are not eager to assist or help black guests. I was on the beach and I needed some assistances with one of the beach chairs to be set up. I asked two attendants to help, they began to conversed back and forth in spanish who would help me. We had a few more racial undertone experiences.We had a few other undertoned racial experiences such as who they preferred in selected areas as well as events. However, the other 80 of servers were very welcoming.Renova Spa My massage was just okay for me. It was very cold in the room. The oil was not warm at all. They lady was nice, but did not apply any deep tissue techniques. In DR their spa time was excellent. I fell a sleep, and felt wonderful. My fiance enjoyed his massage. The spa appearances was nice, and clean. Bring your own towels if you get in to the hot tub. Hotel Appearances Visiting my coworker in room 702 the view is beautiful. The lobby is very beautiful.Shopping We left the hotel for a 5 minutes walk to a little shopping area to buys gifts for our sons. It was very reasonable, and a lot of beautiful jewelry ladies to select from. Casino My fiance enjoyed the casino.Near Hotels Some other hotels along the beach were very nice to visit, and to interact with guests from around the world. Some other beach activites were very fun with a small charge. Airport Bus arrived on time to escort our group to the airport. Customs was no problems just follow their instructions. However, due to a problem with Southwest Airlines we were stuck in the airport from approximately 5 hours until the problem was fix. Which was fine. I rather we were all safe then sorry. Southwest did issued us a 100 voucher towards our next trip. We arrived home this morning safely.I rate the RIU Palace of three stars. The most important part is knowing how to have fun, and we made the best of the trip by enjoying each other company. However, I have no desire to visit this hotel again.

They did not approach his 3 white friends. I sent a note to corporate expressing my concerns and asked that they train their employees, mistaking this Hyatt with the Hyatt Rosemont located down the street. I immediately heard from the Hyatt Rosemont manager who apologized for the situation, but we quickly realized that the incident actually happened at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare. The Rosemont manager forwarded our communication to the manager of the Hyatt Regency O'Hare. I never received any communication from the O'Hare manager, which leads me to believe that it is not a situation that he is taking seriously. This is a huge concern. I am an event planner/producer, and I will not bring my business to the Hyatt Regency O'Hare. Racial profiling is an extreme violation that needs to be addressed promptly. I do hope they figure out this issue and are able to train their employees to value all guests." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg34141d84259r129923190RodewayInnClearwaterClearwaterFlorida.html,Date of stay: April 2012,United States,Florida FL,Clearwater,"New York City, New York",Does Not Feel Safe,"My wife and I were looking for a one night stay after arriving at Tampa Airport before moving on. We had stayed there many years ago when it was the AMERICAN INN. This was some years ago and although the Hotel has changed from the American Inn firstly To the Ramada Limited and now the Rodeway. As seasoned travellers we thought this would be a good bet. In the days of the American Inn it was family friendly and couple friendly however now as the Rodeway Inn it was anything but.We checked in and the guy on the reception was fairly friendly but his guidance to finding the elevator was not at all helpful. In fact we could not find it and we were a little jet lagged and ended up hauling our suitcases up the steps at the rear of the hotel.I decided to move the vehicle from the rear of the hotel because a group of youths had gathered, I moved it to the side of the hotel where we could be closer to it. These youths along with some older people had been shouting racial comments at each other. I went down to get some snacks out of the machine but there was hardly anything in the machine. One good thing came out of my journey for snacks was that I found the elevator which really was around a sharp corner and we had driven right past it upon our haste to get to our room, but again the receptions directions in the first instance were not that accurate.We then proceeded to check the beds for bed bugs and I am happy to report that there were no bed bugs to be found.We decided to settle down and watch some TV. the TV was at least 20 years old and was of the same type when we visited this hotel in the bygone times of the American Inn. The TV signal was not very good at all and the wifi signal kept dropping out. The decor was very old and the room grubby. The carpet was not clean at all and my wife said they needed to improve the overall hygiene.We were awakened around eleven pm by bad language from the guests on the same floor as ourselves and they were congregating just a few feet outside our window. It looked as if some of them could have been construction workers from the nearby road improvements being conducted nearby. The shouting continued for a while. Then during the night at 3 am there was a row from next door and loud Spanish voices cold be heard, it was obvious that a couple were having some problems. Again people congregated outside. We eventually got to sleep but not before I had barricaded the front door AND this is from someone who travels a lot.Thankfully daylight came and we waited for the nearby guests to leave before venturing down to the free breakfast. I have to say which was not too bad at all.I can tell you there are better hotels in this area and my advice to you is to check in with them. You do not feel safe at this hotel and there does not appear to be any security with regard to this hotel in anyway that would make guests feel protected.Avoid this hotel but if you have to stay here don't take your wife's or kids" -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg34141d84259r91286413RodewayInnClearwaterClearwaterFlorida.html,Date of stay: December 2010,United States,Florida FL,Clearwater,Virginia,DISGUSTING,First of all the guy at the front desk is rude and not helpful at all.

There is so much that could be done to spruce this place up. Little things like touch up paint, someone to vacuum air conditioner vents, and even a little furniture polish and dusting are things that are just expected. Apparently, this hotels idea of clean rooms is to change the sheets on the bed and remove items from the refrigerator. I was afraid that they hadn't touched the bathroom. With Greenville, MS's water already being brown it was hard to tell if the toilet was even clean!! This I turned back my covers and a racial obscenity was written on the box spring...it read ""Greenville, MSNrs So Sad!!"" Not to mention the boxspring had Marriott on it...I guess they go to other hotels and savage whatever it is that they throw away. That racial slur was unacceptable and that box spring should have been removed!!!!! I will never stay here again and regardless of the budget you have, you should not choose this place.

There are exactly ZERO bed and breakfasts we've ever given a negative review about. Could we have rated Cartier's Mansion a zero, we would have.During a telephone conversation prior to arrival, I got a bad feeling about the host, Sue Ann, because as a courtesy, I mentioned to her, ""We are coming from Indiana and we'll be arriving late, so should we just call that evening to let you know"" She reiterated exactly what I'd just said, but in a strangely directive tone that came across as, ""I sure hope you don't put us out!"" She tried to say it gently, but it came across as crass. Heevyjeevies already.We, indeed, arrived late that Friday night 11:30. I dreaded calling to let her know because conversations with her elicited stress. It's like a bad feeling you can't put your hands on, but you feel it. Profoundly. Her speech seems edgy... as though she's giving it everything she can to be warm and pleasant, but it's not natural. Nor is it possible, it seems.Her spouse Gary, however, seemed entirely different. He was pleasant. Warm. Seemed sincerely hospitable. My husband and I enjoyed our talks with him. Gary welcomed us upon arrival. He reviewed the policies and showed us to our room, the Lighthouse Room.The home itself is nice, if you enjoy old homes that are somber. What the heck was I thinking when I selected it This much was indeed my fault. I knew it was historic. Nonetheless, I enjoyed learning about the history behind the home, as Gary was kind enough to give us a tour one morning. But I was quite unimpressed with the smell of the old home, the creaking doors and floors, and the depressing ambiance. Just a personal taste... I'm sure antique lovers would love it..Far worse than the visual lack of appeal for me was the thick, uncomfortable atmosphere. There seems to be a heavy, dark negative energy permeating the home, in spite of the faint, melodic spiritual tunes that emanated from the music room.My introduction to Sue Ann was the ""icing on the rotten cake,"" so to speak.Our first morning there, I was tired from the drive and we were meeting friends elsewhere for lunch, so I called Sue Ann in a very timely manner and notified her that I wouldn't be going down to breakfast. After getting dressed a couple of hours later, my hubby and I were leaving to meet friends. I told him, ""I'm going to go and introduce myself to Sue Ann and thank her for the accommodations."" He and I thought that would be kind and thoughtful. So my husband joined me.I heard voices behind the kitchen door, where Sue Ann was, so to be polite, I knocked. She came to the door and bounced out. Smiling, I said, ""Good morning! I just wanted to introduce myself before we left."" Sue Ann's response With a seemingly fake smile from ear to ear, ""WELL, WHO LET YOU IN DID YOU GET A CODE FROM SOMEONE"" Being the only African American female in the home my husband is Caucasian, I assumed she didn't realize she had an African American guest, as she hadn't yet met me. I said, ""I'm Sharen. We're renting the Lighthouse Room.""She said, ""Ohhhhhh!... and said some other words... but honestly I didn't hear one word she said after that. The grand smile she wore seemed as distasteful as her unusually crass and utterly boorish greeting.I was floored. Nothing was worse than that depressing, creaky home except Sue Ann. She seems to have no business in the hospitality industry, as far as I can tell... if a BB host is expected to be, in any way hospitable. And yes, I believe they are.All in all, I don't take much offense to racial matters. I'm not moved by racial arguments or claims. I tend to be a cheerful, happygolucky person with a very warm temperament, and I embrace the world with open arms. And everyone in it. So, I'm not broken up by the experience, nor do I necessarily see it as a racial slur. I'm not really sure what it was, except rude beyond belief. Sue Ann read my comments in her guest book and called to apologize. She admitted, ""You're right. It is exactly word for word what I said. I was curt. I will give you that. I was curt. I'll apologize for that. But it had nothing to do with your being African American. Let me tell you.""I accepted her... apology I guess you could call it that. But I honestly don't care about the reason she was curt. I just don't think I or my husband deserved it. We paid 288.00 for a 2 night stay in a mediocre room with uncomfortable accommodations and a very rude host. Even the homes policies are written in a crude, unrefined manner. At the bottom of a list of directive policies which SCREAM, ""Be grateful you're staying here!!"" vs. ""We're happy you've come"", the entire pet policy simply says, ""Your pet will have to find other accommodations."" In Sue Ann's guest book, I suggested they phrase this in a more gentle manner. A simple, ""No pets, please"" would typically suffice.Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone... not even one's pet. There's far too much stress involved with a stay at Cartier's. Sue Ann's overwhelming presence, illmannered temperament and negative energy weighs too heavily in setting the tone for a guest's entire experience. Every other BB we've ever stayed at felt like a peaceful haven we retreated to in the midst of our explorations. BBs when done well tend to fade into the background of a vacation, lending support, amenities, peace and comfort to passersthrough. This one doesn't. It's dominating. Costly. And really, not worth the trouble.Hubby and I typically hate to see our BB stays come to an end, but we actually celebrated our departure from this dark little heavy place. Seriously, couldn't wait to leave." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg60763d80081r584771729ChelseaInn17thStreetNewYorkCityNewYork.html,Date of stay: June 2018,United States,New York NY,New York City,"Rosedale, United States","Front Desk Discrimination and a Dark, Dank and Dirty BASEMENT Room","I faced racial discrimination at the Chelsea Inn. The hotel management should invest in sensitivity training for Vincent at the Front Desk.From the moment I walked in, Vincent, who was at the front desk, refused to acknowledge my existence and would not speak to me with the respect and courtesy that ALL human beings deserve. Vincent did not greet me with the customary: ""Welcome to the Chelsea Inn."" Instead, he refused to look me in the eye, his responses were terse, rude and abrupt. When I approached the front desk, Vincent was beyond rude, in fact his behavior was repugnant. He refused to make eye contact with me at any give moment; he merely mumbled that I would be in room 90, which was downstairs. He did not offer to find anyone to assist me with my suitcase down the narrow and steep staircase to the BASEMENT. Fernando, one of the hotel workers was kind enough to assist me when he saw me struggling with my bags; and for that I am very grateful to him. The room, which was located next to a loud and noisy staff room or club, was smaller than my bedroom at home. It was also dark and dank. It seemed that no effort was made to make the room appear welcoming, never mind beautiful. The towels I received were soiled, ripped and frayed, there was no washcloth, and the floor was dirty. I honestly think this room is used as a staff sleeping room between shifts. It was small, dirty, and noisy. After stepping out for a quick bite with one of my friends, I returned to the Inn with the notion of requesting a room change. When I approached Vincent a second time, he remained true to form and refused to look me in the eye, which is what common courtesy and the Hospitality Industry require. I approached him with kindness and the courtesy which he refused to give me, and asked if we could talk for a moment. He said yes, but continued to play with his computer. I asked him if I could change rooms because I am a light sleeper and my room is next to a very loud staff room or club. Vincent, without missing a beat and without removing his eyes from his everimportant computer screen said: ""Your room was assigned before you came."" I then replied: ""That is not what I asked. I want to know if there are any empty rooms because I cannot stay in this room because it is too noisy."" Vincent made no effort to make my stay comfortable in the dark, dank and dirty basement room. He only insisted that my room was assigned before they arrived and saw that I am an African American woman. The most interesting fact about our conversation is that I never once asked if the rooms were assigned before arrival, but Vincent's guilty conscience spoke for itself when he continued to reiterate that feeble point. I checked in at 5:30 p.m.,and checked out at midnight. I did not care one iota about ""losing my money."" There are more important things than money in this current climate of racial discrimination and intolerance, such as treating human beings with kindness, courtesy, compassion and respect. If these qualities are important for you when staying at hotel or inn, then RUN and I mean RUN away from the Chelsea Inn." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg298171d1132777r660076843MountViewHakoneHakonemachiAshigarashimogunKanagawaPrefectureKanto.html,Date of stay: March 2019,Asia,Japan,Kanto,unknown,never this racist place,"I would give this place a 0 star if I could.

However, got charged for 2000yen second day when we checked out. For us, I understand the rule and respect the rules of your hotel but she shouldn't lie to us about the extra charge. This was ended up a scam. Third, after she realized that we have possibly found out that she does speak Chinese. She passed by us she confronted us with a face but without a single word as we left the hotel. Last, they gave us ONE small bath onsen which only suited for 1 person althought they charged us for 2 persons. A friend of mine told me that they could offer us onsen with 2 baths instead. This was horrifically racial profiling.... The only good memory of this hotel is the lady who served us at dinner and breakfast. Informative and friendly. Food was okay.

The confirmation of payment was done days later after a followup.Check in was smooth.Room allotted had a electrical problem in the bathroom for hot water. This was resolved after I called up.The next day I needed water to take meds but apparently their stock of water would arrive much later and they didn't have a single bottle of mineral water.While checking out too the process was slow and tedious, despite doing a 50 advance payment , I had to remind them about the same while settling the bill.The breakfast buffet was the only positive with a decent spread of fruits, south and North Indian food optionsWhat I found disgusting was the racial discrimination towards Indian tourists which is very apparent not just here but in many places. There's an AC bus for foreign tourists and when I asked the reception staff about the bus, the way he said it's for foreigners and Indians shouldn't use it ; gave me the first hand experience of racial discrimination.Sadly in our own country people treat fellow countrymen so badly.The location of the hotel is close to the clock tower area, about 15 min walk.Not happy with my stay here." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg50226d217653r636580539HawthornSuitesbyWyndhamColumbusWestColumbusOhio.html,Date of stay: November 2018,United States,Ohio OH,Columbus,"phoenix, United States",TERRIBLE customer service and DIRTY room,"I have never experienced such rude and racial behavior.

Even the officers said it was a racial thing. We booked for 4 people for one week and left the second day. It was Thanksgiving week and also my daughters birthday.

On arrival, we offered the credit card and the ID but one of the employees insisted that we first bring the letter from Wyndham's Welcome center otherwise we can't check in. After some discussion, this individual singlehandedly decided that we will not be allowed to stay at the hotel. At our request, she called the offsite manager who defended her employee's decision and threatened us that if we did not leave, they will call the police. I wish I had let them take the next step but we were too terrified. What is it if not racial bias because we look different being from another country and culture. When I contacted Wyndham, they did not want to do anything about the misconduct and they cited that they do not own, operate, manage, control or occupy this facility. The Manager, of course, refused to do anything either even no apologies for what happened and how we felt threatened, discriminated, and nowhere to go at that moment. Nobody wants to answer the question that if a customer has an advance reservation, shared a credit card to pay for the room, and has a valid ID, how and why s/he can be denied a room in the hotel. The manager of the facility or the corporate has no answer. That is why it appears to be a case of racial bias in 2018. I wish I could offer compliments on the facility and food but the management never let us have that opportunity. Sad but true and so I decided to share with fellow travelers." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg1188672d1197247r308542315KyprianosstudiosapartmentsLimniKeriZakynthosIonianIslands.html,Date of stay: August 2015,Europe,Greece,Ionian Islands,"Chigwell, United Kingdom",Mrs,"Great relaxing place to stay.

My pregnant wife and I, being racial minorities, felt like we were not welcome in a few incidents. The checkin experience and an encounter with a security guard left us frustrated. We had high expectations from the reviews and recommendations of others and were shocked by some interactions with staff. This was not expected from a wellknown and fine establishment such as yourselves.We arrived for checkin around 3:30pm and walked up to Sylvia, who was focused on her computer. She did not look up, greet or acknowledge us as we sat there waiting for about 20 sec. Then Geri called us over to checkin. She lacked warmth in her greeting and told us that our room was not yet ready which we expected. Geri told us she would call us when it was ready. While we were with Geri, we noticed an older white couple walked into the lobby to checkin and Sylvia welcomed them with a friendly attitude before they were at her desk. We waited at the Loch Ness Pool until 4pm and walked back to the lobby. Geri told us it was still not ready. When we asked about the checkin time policy, she said that it was only a couple minutes after 4 and that there was a large group of people checking out, hence the delay. That is understandable, but she was not even apologetic about it, as if to say, ""That's too bad."" Again, she told us she would call us when the room was ready. We sat in the lobby for about 10 to 15 min. before Sylvia walked over to us and told us that we were being switched into another room. This was appreciated, but why wasn't this done sooner if you all knew that there would be a delay with checkinI already addressed my concerns about Sylvia and Geri above. Before my wife and I left the property, we decided to sit at the Copperhead pool to read. Nobody else was at the pool at the time. A few minutes after sitting down, a security guard drove up to the pool and told us that someone called about the gates being locked to the pool area. He asked us how we got in and we told him we came through the gate and it was not locked of all the times that we were at the pool, we have not had any issues with the gates being locked. After he checked one of the gates and repeating that someone called about the gates being locked, he said, ""While I'm here, do you have a guest pass"" Fortunately, I had it with me, but since when did we have to have a guest pass to access the Copperhead pool None of the other guests that we had seen during our stay had to display a guest pass, nor was there anyone checking. He looked at my pass, tried to make small talk, and then left. We were surprised about the encounter and the fact that he did not check any other gates to see if they were locked." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg34535d86142r575658901InnisbrookASalamanderGolfSpaResortPalmHarborFlorida.html,Date of stay: April 2018,United States,Florida FL,Palm Harbor,"Philadelphia, Pennsylvania","Dated, Friendly Staff, but could use Sensitivity Training","In the beginning, the experience was good. The room was clean, the food at the Market was tasty, the Tram drivers and bellmen were polite and friendly.Toward the end of my 4 day/3 night visit I encountered what I believe was racial profiling while relaxing by the Peacock Pool alone on Tuesday, April 17th around 5 pm. I was approached by security and asked for a pass for the pool. I didn't have my guest pass so I showed my room key. The comment used by Jacob, the Securitas security guard, was ""since you cooperated, I will let you slide this time."" I didn't quite understand what he was implying, but I felt that the comment was racially motivated and I was greatly offended. After my experience with security, I was no longer interested in using any other facilities. I just wanted to go home. This experience has impacted my views about Salamander and iPrefer resorts. I do not plan to stay at any resort associated with this brand. I am also not pleased with the way Ron, Director of Operations, handled the situation. He was very insensitive to my complaint and feelings about what happened. I do, however, appreciate the way J. Michael Williams, General Manager, handled the situation. He seemed more sensitive to what I experienced and more willing to try to accommodate me for the last night of my stay.On a positive note, Noeme Lott of housekeeping was very polite and pleasant. She did a great job with the room. Also, Andrea of the Market Grille was an excellent waitress and very polite and attentive. Other pleasant experiences were with the Tram drivers and bellmen." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg1497917d4872252r190719283BirdsNestHotelTanahRataCameronHighlandsPahang.html,Date of stay: December 2013,Asia,Malaysia,Pahang,"Quezon City, Philippines",The name insults the birds!,"I am not a finicky traveler so this is not a review that just wants to issue bad press or a kind of revenge. I can sleep in hard beds and won't mind old rooms just as long I am treated well. I also try to be patient with hotels when I travel because I know it's tough to maintain a business. However, I am writing this review to help travelers make an informed decision and 'alert' the owner of this hotel to consider a performance assessment and attitude check of the hotel's staff particularly the male manager.We had been treated like secondclass citizens by its male staff we suppose he is the manager/supervisor. It all started with their credit card machine. Apparently, they do not allow the use of the machine's swiping mechanism and only allow the use of the mechanism for micro chips. This information was not mentioned when I called them up by the way, they also do not answer emailsI confirmed our booking only because I made an international callthey did not answer any of my 3 emails.Therefore, upon arrival about 5 pm, we were not able to make the payment for the 1st day of our stay we booked for 2 nights, using our credit card because of this 'weird' thing about not using the swiping mechanism. As we were running out of RM already, we said we will change our money in the evening and make the payment later on. We had available local currency so we temporarily used it to serve as 'security payment' for the room key subject to the agreement that we will replace the local currency with RM as soon as we had made a forex transaction again that evening. The lady staff graciously accepted our money in local currency. We were thankful.We went out and had dinner with friends and, unfortunately, didn't come across any forex shop nearby. We then went back to the hotel thinking that we can postpone the payment in the morning or if they will insist, pay with our money first local currency and we will just replace the money with RM first thing in the morning. All we needed was to have a good night's sleep as we had been in the middle of a road trip around Malaysia.Just a few minutes after entering our room, a staff knocked on our door demanding payment. We told him we did not see any forex shop nearby and asked him if he can accept the exact equivalent of a day's stay in our local currency. He agreed so I asked my husband to settle it at the reception area.Lo and behold, after about 20 minutes, my husband returned saying that their manager arrived and did not allow us to temporarily use our local currency first !. He said was talking to him arrogantly when I went down, I noticed he talked to me that way, too, demanding payment in RM. I went down with my husband and explained to the manager that it was not our problem that they wouldn't allow us to swipe our credit card. Apparently, my husband told me later on that they no longer allow the use of the swiping mechanism because they had been duped before. It's like now, because of that incident, they consider all guests as possible scam artists who will dupe them again. We explained to them that in fact, they accepted our money for the key deposit so why not accept the same money for a day's stay and it was just for the night anyway and swore to find a forex around town, even if we wake up earlier than usual. We appealed but the manager will not listen to any pleading. According to my husband also, the manager demanded to hold BOTH our passports as ""security"" in case we don't want to find RM that evening! Hold BOTH our passports as if we are fugitives! This was turning out to be something that you only see in the movies in a previous era where there was still too much racial discrimination...To make the long story short, my husband and I went out, at about 11:30 pm, in the dead of a very COLD evening, tired, just to look for an ATM machine. Fortunately, there was a branch of a global bank nearby. Can you imagine if we're not depositors in an international bank What if there are only local ATMs there with no global connectivity What if the ATM malfunctioned Will the hotel push us out in the middle of a cold night The hotel manager made us feel that way. He made us feel that our currency is useless, that we are not trustworthy, that we are trying to dupe them. I also thought, in retrospect, will he treat a whiteskinned guest with such arrogance and insensitivity It may sound illogical but such things happen even in the country where I come from. I have seen how local staff tend to prioritize whiteskinned guests in hotel lobbies or reception areas. But that's probably beside the point. Racial discrimination aside, the hotel owner should thoroughly talk with his manager and educate him about manners, about respect, about valuing customers, about the unfairness of treating all guests as possible scammers. If they were worried about guests not paying up, they can improve their credit card policy, or adequately make announcements that ""swiping"" is NOT allowed, especially during the prebooking process. And they should answer emails !.More importantly, they can charge it experience that they have been duped before but they have no right to regard their future guests as possible scammers. A dishonest person will always meet his bad karma. Let the universe teach him a lesson. But for someone to treat people/guests as possible cheaters or criminals just because of a single bad incident is really unfair. This manager should not be in the hotel business unless he learns to be more professional, respectful, and kinder. Any business thrives on good client relationship and customer management. You treat your guests like this and you are causing your eventual downfall.The name ""bird's nest"" reminds us of home, of a nesting place, of a refuge. Sadly, this establishment does not deserve this name as long as it employs a very uncaring manager/staff. Even birds will feel insulted.As for the physical features of the place: They have no elevators and the hotel is on road that climbs up so this means that even climbing up to the lobby and reception takes a lot of effort. Bed quality poor Room below average at least the room assigned to usBathroom terrible sink was leaking so the bathroom floor is always wet. There is also no partition between the wet and dry areas of the bathroom so this was somewhat an issue because Cameron Highlands is a cold place and that means stepping on wet floors all the time in the middle of a very cold eveningOverall comment: You may want to avoid this place. There are other better places in this price range." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg33255d946938r603135862SacWestRVParkCampgroundWestSacramentoCalifornia.html,Date of stay: August 2018,United States,California CA,West Sacramento,"Sacramento, California",Worst experience ever !,"I went there today to attend a birthday get together for my best friends daughter and was enjoying myself until one of the employees approached us very rudely ! Our cars were parked in rv spots we weren't aware and instead of just letting us know that they were rv spots she told us very rudely that we needed to move them to the parking spots by the office and pay 5 which we had no problem doing. Then she goes on about how we had to many people there and that we needed to leave..again very rudely !! We overlooked her attitude with us and tried to find other alternatives like maybe renting another space or cabin for the night or something and she said no ! So we ended up talking to the manager and she said it was okay to rent another space etc.. so then I go to get some stuff from my car and take the kids to the swimming pool and she approaches me and tells me I cant park there AFTER SHE TOLD ME TO PARK THERE! . She was just giving me the hardest time .. so after exchanging a few words I tell her okag I'm gonna walk over to my friend and see what we can do about this. .She tells me to take my car!! .. It's like 1 minute away walking ..so you want me to load all 3 kids up just to drive 10 seconds away ! I just didn't understand why she was being so rude so i told her she was being very rude ..its not what you say it's how you say it !! So she follows me to the trailer where everyone was and starts tripping again so finally everyone was just like is this a racial thing and this crazy lady said ""Yes!

I dont think the people who run it understand that the people who check in there are PAYING THEIR SALARIES and keeping their crappy hotel functioning and should therefore be treated with much more respect. I checked in at around 10pm and my daughter and her friend were coming up to hang out for a little while. I had to run to the store and left them in there and when I came back, they were in the hallway with the manager and security who had accused me of trying to sneak unregistered guests into my room, and a security guard who was clearly racial profilng accusing my daugther black of being a prostitute, most likely because her friend was a white male. They told me there are no guests after 9pm, though there was nothing about this rule posted at the desk or in any paperwork that I signed, so they accused me of breaking a rule that I was never informed about in the first place. Upset that I couldnt have my daughter over for a little while keep in mind I am visitng from Massachusetts, I wanted to leave and get my money back because I cannot fathom staying at a motel that doesn't allow you to have guests, and the manager refused saying the room had been used which it really hadnt. I hadnt been in there for more than 45 minutes and hadnt disturbed anything, and threatened to call the police because my daughter and her friend were clearly upset about not being able to come up after driving up so far to see me while I was in town, as if his solution to angry guest being upset with poor customer service policies and practices is to just call the police. He also threatened to charge me a 50 cleaning deposit if my daughter and friend didnt calm down, which is extremely unprofessional to resort to threatening to taking my money instead of working toward a resolution. Interestingly enough, while they were so busy scrutinizing us as if we were up to something sketchy Im an ordained minister so go figure...all of these weird tweaker looking people were roaming the hallways freely without being questioned at all. And its not as if this is the Taj Mahal. My room itself wasnt bad, but the place in general is dirty and full of negative energy and weird looking people. I checked out as soon as I woke up because I only stayed so as not to lose any money. I have been really outraged by the racial profiling that I have endured in California since I have been here, but this one was completely ridiculous!! I am not encouraging anyone to stay here or not. That is entirely up to you, but all of the one star reviews of this place says SO MUCH about what you""re dealing with at this place." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg41131d93677r508855528ResidenceInnbyMarriottColumbiaEllicottCityMaryland.html,Date of stay: July 2017,United States,Maryland MD,Ellicott City,"Salt Lake City, Utah","Would have been 5 Stars, but......","So here's the deal with this place. It was Fantastic for the most part. They had eat and mingle nights for families Monday thru Wednesday and that was awesome. The staff was super friendly and great people. The room was decent, not luxurious but ok. They had a great breakfast, laundry facilities, pool, and exercise room. So here's the down part. They didn't ever really cleaned the room. If there was even a pillow of ours or one backpack on the bed they wouldn't straighten out the bed at all. The biggest thing that made this place a 3 star instead of a 5 star was that one of the staff had kids there or some kinds of another family member, which isn't a problem at all. It's great if someone can bring kids to work, as a working mom I'm all for that. But one of the youth one night had his friends over at 9:30 pm at night and our family went to use the pool while they were there, which also isn't a problem. But they were a group of older teenage boys of maybe 8 total, who were yelling diving and splashing all over the pool. I don't mean just normal splashing like crazy stuff. They were cursing and using profane and offensive racial language so we could purposefully hear them, the whole hotel probably heard them. One of the young men said that they should calm down since others were at the pool too and it was late and the other boys got all worked up about how we addressing my family didn't own the pool and just cause we were white didn't mean that we could tell them what to do, Um, we literally didn't even say anything at ALL. They then started saying things like ""the south will rise again"" and other racial things that I don't feel is appropriate to write here. They started saying passiveagressively that we were being racist to them, which we weren't even doing anything, like talking even to each other because they were so out of control and loud. This was not a situation that had anything to do with race it had to do with a group of young men who have some kind of issue with people of different skin colors and think that it's everyone else, they were rude, had bad manners, were verbally and physically aggressive and had no supervision at all. And, we felt like we couldn't even say anything because we knew from talking with other employees and hearing one of the young men talk about his parent that was working there and seeing and hearing the parent address and instruct the boy several times throughout our stay that his parent would be the one at the desk we would have to complain to. We had several other situations that were weird with other guests at the pool too, but that could be the part of the town this hotel is in and that fellow guests are unpredictable. So, would I stay here again Honestly probably not. Not if staff have their kids there and aren't supervising them or are allowing them to bring unruly and dangerous friends that threaten the peaceful stay of paying guest." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg58337d110381r496537453QualityInnSuitesWythevilleVirginia.html,Date of stay: June 2017,United States,Virginia VA,Wytheville,"Toledo, Ohio",Terrible experience with guest and general manager,"My family and I were a guest at the Quality Inn located at 2015 E.

I reported the incident to the front desk attendent. She contacted the general manager, James Payne, who instructed her to call the police. The police arrived and took my wife's statement. The perpetrator of the racial slurs had since left the parking lot, but was still checked into the hotel. For the safety of our family, my wife and I decided to find another hotel closer to our final destination. The police officers agreed. However, when I asked for an obvious refund for the night, the general manager, James Payne, refused to grant us one. He informed the front desk attendent via phone that we had already been in the room, and since there was no housekeeper on staff that night, he would be unable to rebook the room to someone else. This made an already emotional situation even worse. We understand that the hotel is not responsible for the actions of their guests, but the lack of empathy, inaction, and poor business practices of the general manager is unacceptable." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg469397d1108563r458416874ImpangeleSwellendamOverbergDistrictWesternCape.html,Date of stay: February 2017,Africa,South Africa,Western Cape,"Western Cape, South Africa",Safari in Swellendam,"Amanda and her husband Dave have been quietly building, around them, a community of diverse, old and young, multiracial and multiclass, friends and family.

The rooms are not top notch nor super sanitary but still charming with Maharajalike interior decor The hotel has a lovely courtyard and garden square where peacocks would walk in the mornings during breakfast.I was already liking the place until dinner time on the second last day. We sat down to dinner in the small hotel restaurant with a group of friends. We decided to get drinks from the bar located in the adjacent room. The first batch of people from our table came backs with free drinks because there was a sort of ladies night deal and we could get drinks for free. The next batch of people on our table also obtained free drinks and soon I felt that I wanted to get something as well. I walked up to the bar and when I got there, there was an extremely rude and outrightly racist at the bartender who told me I could not be served with a drink. I politely inquired why the rest of my party had gotten free drinks but I could not. He replied in barely audible, terrible English something I could barely understand and asked me where I was sitting. Imagine the shock ad embarrassment of having to walk with the bar tender to show him my table just to prove that I was actually a guest at the hotel!! He muttered an okay but just went back to the adjustment bar room. Suffices to say that I did not get a drink and when I went got back to the table, a perfectly fine night been ruined because the conversation changed to racial microaggression. More importantly, no one bothered to apologize to me. While India is certainly not known for its fair treatment of blackskinned people, as a paying tourist, you'd think you'd be getting your money's worth. I traveled across India during this time and had BEYOND amazing experiences at other hotels across the country The Hilton Garden Inn in Delhi, Aloha on the Ganges, and others. This particular hotel was the ONLY one where I was treated differently from the rest of the rest of the group I was travelling with who were mostly white or Asian. Friends, family and colleagues suggested pursuing legal action against the hotel for racial discrimination but given the short duration of the stay and the complexity of navigating the Indian legal system as a foreigner, it deemed somewhat impractical. This by far ranks as the worst travelling I've had not just in India but globally." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg297555d655581r626101236TropitelNaamaBaySharmElSheikhSouthSinaiRedSeaandSinai.html,Date of stay: October 2018,Africa,Egypt,Red Sea and Sinai,"Amman, Jordan",Not five stars hotel all shame to be classified as a 5,"The staff not professional they dont smile they are not welcoming they don't appreciate that people coming from long trip , they dont prioritize first come first in guests who came after us got a room we had to wait from 3am in the morning which is fine with us , but we keep checking with them till we got our rooms at 1:00 pm while the hotel wasnt full as we asked staff working there , we were able to pay more in order to get rooms ealier or even to get higher category but reception staff is too bad , they have the racial in treating the foreigners better than arab countries passport holder which is too bad. We had to wait more than 40 minutes when we arrived the hotel around 3 am the bellman insisted to keep our luggage up while it is backbag .there was no guests in the lobbay except us and we had to wait 40minutes till they brought our luggage in order to get some stuff. We asked them to place our luggage in luggage store they refused they kept it in the lobby next to bellman desk which is unsafe for us. Upon process of check in three different agents had to switch in order to check us in . One came he got our passport then he left us and send us someone else to print the registrations he just asked us to sign he is front desk supervisor when I asked him about the room rates for each room his answer was unprofessional you booked you should know what the rate is. Am wondering if this is how they train their guests . When I saw his reaction I insisted to get the rates he was frustrated. He didnt give any information about hotel facilities nothing. Just got the keys at 1:00 pm and left to our room . When we entered the rooms it was another story the floor dirty the bathroom floor full of dirt and hair. The chair stained with big spots of coffee the walls full of spots and,stains it was so disgusying. I called the hk in the floor immediately and showed him all the dirts I haf to wait another 40 minutes infront if the room till he finish cleaning . Too bad experience. Internet is too bad signal only available in he lobbyand keep disconnecting every day we have to pass by reception to get a code . This hotel should not considered as a 5stars at all maximum 3 with the bad service from the team and poor facilities. Animation were good freindly , pool attendant were good. On the beach we asked to have a place yo sit one if the egyptians working there said if you want to have sunbeds just go to that guy who is weating red I think ligfeguard and give him 150 pound he will arrange immediately a place to sit. What a shame Is this a way to encourage toutists !! We asked for iron and iron board they brought an iron with wired appealed . What a five stars safetyOne day prior to checkout we passed by reception to ask for a wake up call and to settle our bill if any because we are leaving early and dont want to wait at queue ,he refused and mentioned to pass by tomorrow morning. What a bad customer service. I will not recommed this hotel at all . Definetly behind this racial and bad service there is a bad managment. Its obvious the treatment between foreigners non arab and arab guests. Even when I asked one of the team he mentioned suunce we started to have arab guests we forget about standard .

And to some extent it did most of these things. The Confederate House is in a lovely part of the Historic district of Savannah, and while it is some distance from the hustle and bustle of shops, cafes and restaurants, the walk to them every day either through the park across the road or along the beautiful old buildinglined streets was great. We felt quite safe walking in the evening and there were lots of joggers/walkers and families about. The building itself is quite a site to behold, both inside and out, and while there is a bit of a tiredness to the place, it sounds as if repairs to water damage to the building from the recent hurricane will help provide a needed refresh. On the ""unique and charming BB experience front"" it certainly was a unique experience, and one that added to our appreciation of the complex dynamics of social/racial tensions in the U.S. I'm not sure that this should be the case, but like other reviews below, the host was surprisingly outspoken in sharing her conservative political and racerelated opinions. The experiences that have led the host to hold these views are obviously different to our own, and I guess to some extent, we respect that, but I think by expressing her views so openly runs the risk of making guests feel very uncomfortable and potentially inciting feedback on forums that is not helpful to a commercial operation. We also found our experience of The Confederate House to be unique in other ways, including our welcome and introduction. On entry, we were shown to our seats in the enormous grand hall by Colleen and where the facilities and rules of the house were explained to us. We found the very detailed verbal virtual tour of our room upstairs as we sat in the downstairs hall to be somewhat odd and would suggest to Colleen that she instead develop a simple one page of basicinformation rules around keyuse, wifi details etc that can be handed to guests on arrival allowing her an opportunity to simply chat and welcome guests, without having to get into the nitty gritty details of our room. While I'm sure the intentions behind the sitdown welcome are all good, it seemed strange for things like buttons on our remote and black TV boxes that should never be touched to be explained to us verbally at this point. In all, in terms of facilities we feel like we got what we paid for. In some ways, as visitors to the U.S. and as educated and curious travellers, the hosts input to the morning conversations at breakfast and our subsequent debrief discussions with other guests following were insightful and added to our own understanding of US society at a pivotal time in the country's history." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg60814d595729r433405076TheConfederateHouseSavannahGeorgia.html,Date of stay: October 2016,United States,Georgia GA,Georgia Coast,"Racine, Wisconsin",Caution: Bates Motel Experience,"The Confederate House is nothing more than a place to sleep and shower; that is, if you dare. My husband and I planned a trip to the south, including 3 nights in Beaufort,SC, and 4 nights in Savannah, GA, at The Confederate House. Following our 3 night stay at a true southern BB, we arrived here at about 2:25 pm and called the owner/operator, as instructed. She informed us that she doesn't check guests in until 3:00, so perhaps we would like to go sit in the park across the street. Proceeding to the park, through the yard, was daunting. The yard is a mess of crumbled brick, concrete and mulch. The exterior of the home is filthy. Once inside, we were told exactly where to leave our bags and which two chairs we could be seated in while she went through the checkin process. The interior of the home is dirty, as well, and has a distinct, musty odor. The first thing out of Colleen's mouth was a political statement I did not agree with. A business owner should be more tactful when addressing guests she doesn't know. She informed us what time breakfast is served and other matters of business, including a warning not to touch the buttons on the t.v. and NEVER to touch the Comcast box dangling from the t.v. because, if something were to go awry with the cable/satellite, it would cost her 100, which would be charged to our credit card. We also heard odd stories about her son and her ailing health. During checkin, she received a phone call from her insurance company and told us she had to take it, leaving us alone in the 2 chairs she ordered us to sit in for about 10 minutes before dismissing us, telling us we were done. Upon going upstairs, we found the room to be okay on first glance; however, the comforter and the floors seemed to have debris on them, and the bathroom had, perhaps, been given a quick onceover, leaving hairs, dust and toothpaste spatter behind from previous guests. Don't expect spa soaps or even facial tissues. Colleen provides large bottles of Suave body washes, shampoo and conditioner for her guests to share. Thankfully, I always pack my own toiletries. My husband and I were so put off by the first impression of the house and the proprietor, we immediately wanted to leave. My husband began searching the internet for other places to stay; however, in the end, we stuck it out because Colleen does not give refunds of any kind. We were not at all comfortable here and spent as little time as possible in the house. I never ate a single breakfast here, but my husband did not have any kudos to give Colleen on her cooking ability. In fact, one morning after breakfast, he was very upset about the conversation at the breakfast table. A couple from Australia had asked Colleen about racial dynamics in the U.S. He told me about how Colleen proceeded on a tirade, the specifics of which I will not repeat here; however, be assured, the remarks were shameful and inappropriate, particularly in the presence of guests. The kindest thing I can think of to say about Colleen is that she did make an attempt to say good morning each day. Please do not spoil your stay in beautiful Savannah by choosing to stay here. If you are on a tight budget, stay at the Quality Inn, instead. The Bates Motel is more welcoming." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg187147d595754r598014770HyattRegencyParisEtoileParisIledeFrance.html,Date of stay: April 2018,Europe,France,IledeFrance,"Lake Tahoe California, California",Racially Profiled Case 1735742,"I was a guest of this hotel from April 24, 2018 thru April 29, 2018. On Thursday April 26, 2018 approximately 1:30 am I was racially profiled by one of the security officers. A group of us had just returned back to the hotel from dinner. Several of the people from our group stayed outside talking. I jumped out of the UBER and proceeded to enter the hotel thru the revolving doors. A white couple was a couple of steps in front of me. They entered the hotel and the security guard greeted them with hello madame, hello monsieur. The white couple responded by saying hello. As I walked the security guard told me he needed to see my identification and insisted that I show it to him. I responded in by telling him no I was going to use the restroom and to leave me alone. He followed me to the restroom. As he followed me he kept asking for my identification and I told him no. After, using the restroom I proceeded to walk thru the lobby and once again as I left thru the revolving door another white couple entered the door as I was making my exit. I chose to stay in the revolving door and sure enough the guard greeted the white couple with pleasantries. He did not ask for any identification as well he did not follow them. I proceeded to walk towards him and asked for his name and badge information I also used a couple of expletives because all of a sudden he could not speak English. I asked him why he did not ask for identification from the white guest. He did not answer. I did manage to take a picture of him. The first manager that I spoke to was David . He swore to me that it was not racially profiling. At this point my anger was heightened. I advised him that as a white man he has no idea what being racially profiled is like because he never will experience it in his world. The next person that came out of the office was Mylenepanda . She came out to deescalate the situation because she is a black woman. She proceeded to speak to me and then she tried to speak to the security officer. The security officer did not respond to any of her questions. Finally, Jennifer came out and was trying to diffuse the situation. Jennifer, kept insisting it was not a racially motivated incident. I asked Jennifer if we could watch the video tape so she and everyone else could see what occurred. She told me that the only way that could happen was if I placed a police report. I asked to speak to the General Manager of the hotel on several occasions. I was told he could not be reached because he was on holiday. He did send me an email on Tuesday April 30, 2018 once I was back in the states. Mr. , your team has failed! Not one person has taking accountability for the racial profiling that occurred to me at the Hyatt Regency Etoile.I gave you a very descriptive account of what occurred. The incident has been documented several times. The hotel has the security tape, unless they deleted it from the files, which it should have not been. Your customer relations took a report and the call was recorded. Lastly, you received a detailed email from me. Mr. failed; he apologized for the breakdown in communication. He never acknowledged the racial profiling occurred. Mr. stated,"" We also take very serious any situations where our guests do not feel respected and treated fairly."" Let me be clear with you, it is not a feeling of being disrespected and it is not a feeling of being treated unfairly! It is a fact that I was disrespected and it is a fact that I was not treated fairly! You have the documentation. I hold you accountable as the CEO of the Hyatt Regency. It is your responsibility to take ownership of the epic fails. Everyone in your organization had an opportunity to correct this and make it better. I want you to take responsibility for the actions of the employees that represent your company." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg60956d99445r641855490HolidayInnSanAntonioDowntownMarketSquareSanAntonioTexas.html,Date of stay: December 2018,United States,Texas TX,San Antonio,unknown,Waited Over An Hour To CheckIn,"We arrived at the hotel at 2:00pm to check if our rooms were ready and they were not. We left our luggage and headed out to some local attractions. We arrived back at the hotel at 9:45 pm to checkin. We waited in line for over an hour to checkin. They only had one receptionist and she kept getting interrupted by guests who didn't have toiletries in their room, didn't have towels in their rooms, didn't have coffee in their rooms, beds were not available and room cards were not properly programmed. I don't blame the receptionist as she was trying to get through the line as fast as she could but management should have scheduled another receptionist as we were there one night before Christmas eve and they should have expected a holiday rush. While waiting in line we also experienced a very hostile guest that was spewing racial slurs at another guest. He continued to get louder and nobody did anything. The receptionist was so busy I don't know that she heard him but again management should have several staff at night. I have never been to any hotel where it takes over an hour to get a room.

Firstly, sent an email to the hotel a week before my arrival, unfortunately this was not responded to, I even tweeted the hotel which they did not respond to. This made a bad initial impression, most so called five star hotels respond to most if not all email communication from guests who have upcoming stays. As a result of this poor initial impression, I wasnt expecting much from my stay. I was checked in by a young woman named Samantha who I admit was very nice and welcoming, Pedro bought my bags up, he was also very nice and managed to have a conversation in Portuguese with him even though my Portuguese is not great.The breakfast service was poor, so, staff were not attentive at all and actually appeared to ignore customers, I am a black male in my early 30s and sad to say this may have had an influence in the attentiveness and attitude of staff. When walking in, I was not welcomed or acknowledged at all, 3 members staff were having a chat amongst themselves at a mini reception leading in to the breakfast area and continued to chat amongst themselves, I proceeded to find my own seat then get up to go and get some cereal, when asking for warm milk, also asked for a cup of tea, the person handling the milk station had to ask a waiter to bring the tea to where I was sat. Anyway, when I am having my breakfast, I notice 2 young white woman walk up the breakfast area, staff acknowledge and welcome them and one proceeds to escort them to a seat, I notice this occur again when an older white male turns up. I am little disappointed by this and am left to question why the apparent difference in treatment When, deciding on hotels to stay in capetown, I was aware that racial undertones still existed in South Africa and had led me to reject a few other 5star hotels based upon trip advisor reviews which had indicated undertones of racial biases. Unfortunately, I wasnt expecting this from the westin, given that most reviews I read hadnt pointed out such issues.Staff cleaning the room are not as effective, I went out twice in the morning from 10 to 11am then again 11:30am to 2pm each time staff cleaning the rooms saw me go out, as I was going back to the room at 2pm staff cleaning the rooms ask me if I want the room cleaned, of course, I do, they tell me they are about to finish and the staff who do turndown service can clean the room after 4pm. I wanted the room cleaned and had room service from the night before which I wanted taken out. I opt to go up to the gym whilst the room is cleaned. Again I am not impressed, I know staff are busy cleaning the rooms but surely 2pm is very late to get a room serviced which still has occupancy, I would have expected the room cleaned much earlier especially when I was out let alone having to be asked to wait till 4pm for turndown service to clean the room.Another gripe is that my room was prepaid before arrival, I was asked to leave an amount for incidentals which I opted not to and was told that room service etc would have to be paid on the spot which I was fine with. Most hotels take a deposit which I was expecting but this hotel did not take one. Anyway, I have room service the previous night but the waiter didnt bring the credit card machine and didnt even ask for a payment then, I signed for the room service and expected to settle up the bill when I checked out. Again, I order room service for lunch, same situation occurs, waiter didnt ask for payment just asked for me to sign for the service, again I expected to settle up at checkout. 2 hrs after my lunch I get a phone call from reception saying a payment wasnt taken for room service the previous night and they would need to take the payment today and would be coming to my room with a credit card machine, I was expecting to settle this at checkout like most other places but no problem in settling the bill then, I I tell her about my lunch as well and also tell her to ensure that the waiters bring a credit card machine next time I order room service. Less than 2 minutes after this call, I get the waiter who brought my lunch 2 hours earlier on the phone saying they need to take payment for the lunch I just had. I tell him that I had just got a call from his colleague who was coming up to my room to take payment for the room service the previous night and can pay the lunch as well with this colleague. The receptionist who called earlier turns up at my room but she only has the bill for the room service the night before not my room service lunch, I then had to call the waiter who brought my lunch, now he wants to come up to my room with a credit card machine for the lunch bill, I get annoyed and tell him that its highly inconvenient, I already have his colleague with me and she can take the payment for the lunch, I get the total for this and add it on to the bill for the previous night. Again, this was very poor service, what I have a particular issue with is a lack of trust, in most hotels you can settle on the room service bill at checkout, its not like I am just going to run off. I am also aware that your hotel at checkout will want me to pay the tax bill for my stay and would expect the room service bill to be sorted then.Overall, so far the service has been poor and fails to meet the 5 star rating this hotel has. More worryingly is the differences in treatment I noticed at breakfast service in particular. I also question if the room service fiasco may also be influenced by race. Either way, I will be looking to stay at a different hotel when I am next in Cape Town." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg294217d1458545r208464593ChungKiuInnHongKong.html,Date of stay: May 2014,Asia,China,Hong Kong,"Hong Kong, China",Way overpriced and run by bigots,"The hotel is about what you'd expect in size and cleanliness from a guesthouse in Chungking Mansions, but for more than twice the price.

The room itself is small, with very basic amenities, and a few cockroaches just like Chungking Mansions.

The place has always been affordable, which is why I have always looked past the filthy rooms and seedy people living there. Unfortunately, the last time I stayed there, I experienced such poor customer service and disrespect from the staff that I no longer will stay there. I will say the general manager was very apologetic when I called to inform him about my experience a couple days later. The woman at the front desk, as well as the cleaning staff, showed absolutely zero professionalism or sympathy, even after I pointed out their mistake with my booking and customer service experience there as well. The cleaning staff laughed at me and made racial slurs at me when I went to make a complaint at the front desk! The assistant manager looked as if she wanted to jump me, after I simply asked the question, ""excuse me""....I had to explain to her that I was simply asking her to repeat her last statement. I left feeling that the women working had some kind of personal problem with me for no reason. I was so shaken up by their disrespect.

One of the pans was empty when we went for breakfast, and we were almost finished eating by the time it was finally restocked. And last, but certainly not least, when we were checking in, during the conversation with the front desk clerk, she made a couple of racial stereotype comments not about us that were rather surprising to hear and not what we've come to expect when checking into a hotel.I did bring our issues to management shortly after our stay, and we received an email rather quickly.

This was my second stay in less than 2 weeks. First of all, they have room access problems. The company wants you 'ditch' the card key and use their app to access your room. Even though the app is a waste of life they encourage you to use it by making the carded entry troublesome. Every other entry the card fails forcing residents back to the front desk for assistance. My 3pm late check out was under the wire and I was locked out of my room. I asked the manager for 10 additional minutes beyond 3pm and Doris expressed what she thought of me by asking: ""How'd you even get a late check out in the first place"" Shocked by her query I immediately asked, 'How else does one authorize a late checkout other than paying for it' Before she could answer I continued, 'Ms Doris I'm asking because I'm using the time I've paid for to replace faulty key cards.' ""That's not my problem,"" she said. ""I need my room at 3."" I reminded her that I had chosen this specific Hampton Inn twice in less than two weeks and asked politely one last time: ""Is that how you practice quality customer service here at Hampton Inn, Doris"" She dug her heels in and reminded me that I could stay as long as I liked when I pay for it.I left ontime. I went to the front desk and asked for the district supervisor's contact info. Doris gave me a business card for the front desk. I know because I immediately called the number in front of Doris. When her coworker Joy answered the phone this further confirmed she had no respect for me as a person. She did not care enough about my experience to help me make it right with 10additional minutes nor by honoring my request to share my experiences with her supervisors. People of Colour BEWARE! Hampton Inn Seaport has no respect for you. Should you cross paths with Doris, save your common courtesies. She will literally insult you to your face. She does not care about your dollars nor does she believe in providing quality customer service for People of Colour. BEWARE!!Hampton Inn please note your coworker Doris may be knowledgeable in her field but she is reprehensible as a human. Training her to be a civil human may require racial sensitivity training.

People of Colour BEWARE!" -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg635767d1014044r591446320AndaluciaBeachHotelResidenceEleniteBurgasProvince.html,Date of stay: June 2018,Europe,Bulgaria,Burgas Province,unknown,An Honest Review of an Abysmal Place,"We had a late night/early morning arrival time of 3:00am, the hotel was not organised for us no key so had to wait at the reception to have this sorted. The entire staff did not speak basic English so was difficult to communicate. Finally, we were put into a spare room, not the seaview in which we paid for, but a small unclean room with big brown stains on the carpet however as this was now 4:00am we put up with it and went to sleep. By chance, we bumped into the nightshift receptionist at the bar the following morning where we were advised we were in the wrong room and had to move our own bags to our new room without any assistance from the staff. Although described as a double bed in both rooms, this was 2 single beds which had been pushed together. In general we found that the staff we spoke to were unhelpful and rude.The hotel is equipped with several elevators throughout the building, however only 1 worked which had to the used by both staff and guests. The room service times were inconstant, varying between 7:00am to 11:00am meaning on several occasions our room was not cleaned. However, even when we did receive this service our room was far from clean they made the beds and swiftly left, meaning the floor was sandy all week and the bathroom was not cleaned. As there was noone attending our room, noone had restocked our toilet roll on 2 nonconsecutive days so we had to find someone on both occasions where were met with blank stares as noone spoke English or Bulgarian.When we asked the receptionist the easiest way to the pool, we were advised we had to go out the main entrance and walk around the whole hotel as there was no shortcut. The sunbeds beside the pool were very limited for the amount of guests in the hotel, and although there was a sign illustrating that people were not meant to reserve these, there was people who went to put their towels on these prior to breakfast and didnt use these all day meaning they were unavailable for guests who wanted to use them.No racial conjecture implied; the guests were predominantly Russian and Polish no other British people in the entire village. We did not feel welcome and we were stared at on many occasions as if from outer space. Few of the staff were actually Bulgarian, as was confirmed by a barman at a bar out with the hotel. Overall, not a friendly place for British people. The hotel was full of families, however it felt as though children were left to run riot around the hotel whilst the adults were downstairs at the bar. Therefore, kids were screaming down the halls at all hours of the day and night, with parents screaming all through the night down round the pool. There was rubbish left on our doorstep for us to trip on by either children or parents, who knows.As we were all inclusive, we were looking forward to food and drink being provided throughout the day. However, this hope was met with more subsequent disappointment of the hotel. The doors were left open all through meal times, so the entire room was full of flies which walked over all the food as nothing was covered or protected from these. Every day each meal was cold, no matter was time you arrived. There was no queueing system, so guests pushed in front and on more than one occasion, I was elbowed and someone stood on my foot and shot me a look as if I was in the wrong. The meat on offer was incorrectly labelled, an example when the dish was labelled chicken and it was brown/grey. There was a freezer available full of ice cream, which noone manned so it was a freeforall. The flavours were not labelled so you were unaware of each flavour and the scoops provided were not functional and did not release the ice cream so was constantly full of various flavours. On only a few occasions they provided a small jug of water to clean the scoops, however this was dirty and was not changed for the hour we were sat near it, truly repulsive. The last straw was when we watched a little girl put ice cream on her cone, lick the scoop and proceed to stack her cone using the same scoop, repeating each and every time. The drinks were also vile, the fruit juice which included apple and orange was pure syrup and sugar, not fresh which we were expecting. Our saving grace was a small supermarket where we could purchase a few items. In the whole 7 days we were there, I was unwell 1 day and my girlfriend was unwell 5 days. When we had finally had enough of the horrendous food on offer, we wanted to try an onsite village restaurant but you were unable to go to any of the restaurants without a reservation which you had to book in the hotels. There was a small window of between 10:00am and 11:00am to book these by one guest relations officer, after waiting in the queue for 40 minutes, we were told that he was no longer taking any reservations today and he had places to beappalling customer service, as us and the man behind us had been waiting for an extremely long period of time.Our experience was far from satisfactory so was really looking forward to our departure day. The transfer was 22:50pm, the checkout time was 12:00pm, and the receptionist expected the bands to be cut off at 12:30pm meaning we would be without food, drink and toilets for over 10 hours.In our stay, we spent the entire time being as polite as we possibly could be given the circumstances, no complaints were raised to the staff or other guests despite their behaviour. We hope in writing this, someone will read this and avoid the ENTIRE Elenite holiday village. Go to Sunny Beach or a different country altogether. The hotel does not deserve the 4 rating and definitely unworthy of the price tag attached for staying." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg39143d225020r603500853Super8byWyndhamWichitaEastWichitaKansas.html,Date of stay: August 2018,United States,Kansas KS,Wichita,unknown,Worst experience!,"I was leary of reserving at Super 8, however, it was associated with the chain Wyndham so I booked. Mistake. There was no elevator that went from lobby to our floor, the bedside tables had to be plugged in and unplugged to turn on and off, and the floor lamp had no lightbulbs. We stayed in a smoking room and there were burns in the comforter! Not to mention they rerented our room while we were out and gave someone else keys to our room!

My family arrived in the evening for checkin. We tried to stop at the front, where there's a sign that states that you can stop for 10min for checkin. A man, that later turned out to be the hotel's manager, standing near the front kept shooing us forward, so we decided to just drive on, and park in the back parking lot instead. After rudely and repeatedly telling us to keep driving, the manager then tried to open our friend's rear passenger door they were following behind us in their car. She initially thought he was opening her door for checkin, so she told him that she wasn't checking in; that the car in front of her us was actually customers trying to check in, and didn't understand why he didn't let us stop to check in. He claimed that she was his Uber driver, and when she said she and her daughter were not Uber drivers, he pointed out that her car fit the description for his Uber ride. When we tried to check in after we parked, the receptionist told my husband that they were cancelling our reservation, and that the owner told him to do so. When my husband turned to tell me this, we were in shock. The receptionist stated that the hotel reserved the right to refuse service to us. We were taken aback, and confused, as we had just entered the lobby, and didn't know what we had done wrong. We asked to speak with the owner or manager. The receptionist contacted him, and about 2030min later, the owner/manager, Chirag , called the front desk, and spoke with my husband, and then to me. He claimed that our friend had been rude, and despite not being their customer, he was refusing us service because she is our friend. He denied thinking she was an Uber driver, and accused her of using a racial slur. She never saw his face from the driver's seat, would never say anything like that, and she didn't understand why he would accuse her of that. Of note, my husband and I are minorities, as are our friend and her daughter, and she would never do anything like that. They were so taken aback by all this, and asked if this stuff happens normally in America. They are visiting relatives nearby, and are from Egypt. The man was belligerent and hostile in his words and attitude. When I told him that we had two young children with us and that he's throwing us out late it was only 8:30pm, but this is late for our children at night without a place to stay, he said, 'you're welcome.' It seems that we were in the wrong place at the wrong time, and suffered because the owner was in a bad mood and took it out on us it's scary that he would do this to customers on a whim, and seems like he had a power trip.It was a difficult night for our family. We and our friends were hurt and upset by Mr. 's actions, and by his accusations. Only after did we see on Yelp and other review sites that many others have made similar complaints about this hotel and the staff.

Our family of 5 stayed for 8 days for my child's sports tournament. Our room was never cleaned ""refreshed"" properly on any day. Some days, they would take our dirty towels but not bring new ones so we would have to go hunt them down. They would make up one bed but not the other one. They never emptied the trash. They once took the trash can away and just threw a new plastic trash can liner on the floor by the toilet. We always ran out of toilet paper and had to go get more. Every single day we had to contact the front desk for several issues. Once when I called, my husband happened to be standing at the front desk with other customers. He watched the front desk woman say our name and room number aloud, make a loud sigh, and just pick up the phone and hang back up on me. The evening manager promised we would have a full cleaning due to so many mishaps but it wasn't done the next day. We had to call again and finally they did a shoddy full cleaning the evening before we checked out but they put a bloody sheet on one of our beds. I think it was intentional. The evening manager told us that their cleaning crew kept quitting and they were using people from other local hotels. I'm sure it is because the management is so poor. On the day before we left, we discussed our concerns with the day manager and she said they would compensate us for this horrendous stay. The day of check out the overall manager said there was nothing he was going to do, he never apologized and told us that ""if we had problems after the first day, we should have found another place to stay"". I detected some racial overtones in his treatment of my husband that are of great concern to me. We called the corporate Marriott office to file a complaint and were told they would contact us within 3 days. It has been two weeks.

The bathroom area could of used a good scrubbing and the carpet didnt look like it was vacuumed in months. I dont think any of the housekeepers vacuum between the bed and drawers being their was crackers crumbs and used condom rapper laying there. I found out what housekeeper cleaned my room and her name is Reneta. I highly recommend management to retrain this person in cleanliness. The room has an iron, blow dryer, coffee maker and laundry service. This room you could hear all the noise from the kitchen to guests coming and going out the doors in the hallway. Since I was only here after 3pm I had to listen to the kitchen noise till 10pm.My second day here I went up to the front desk to ask about transfers and I do not know what was going on in back but it sounded like a circus! Loud music being played and people laughing and talking so loud with bad language I couldnt believe management would approve of this type of setting or even if they cared!Didnt bother to use the pool or gym being most of the hotel looked dusty and dirty. Also looked like the housekeepers needed to be kept busy instead of talking bad about what appeared to be other employees right outside my door. This hotel is way over priced for what it offers.

A negative was a broken rung on one of the bunk ladders, needing a chair to go 'upstairs', but that apart, the room bunks were clean and comfortable. Reception also served as a breakfast coffee room, with comfy sofa chairs to relax in. Staff on duty chopped and changed, but all had one thing in common...friendly and helpful. Especially after having a little accident in the town, having a tumble and...rupturing my left Achilles' tendon! But we coped and my memories of Brno and Hostel John Galt remain positive. I'll probably be able to walk again, one day!" -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg187497d4353534r175049651SerenityGoticHostelBarcelonaCatalonia.html,Date of stay: March 2013,Europe,Spain,Catalonia,sheffield,let down by night staff,"First night here went off mainly without a hitch, the rooms were ok for a hostel, but the lack of decent heating meant that it was absolutely freezing at night. our main issue with the place came from the night porter, who was both aggressive and racist and meant that every time we came back to the hostel we were met with racial slurs and abuse and were left wondering if he was going to follow us back to our rooms which he did in fact do once. I wouldn't suggest going there if you are English as he seems to have some problem with us and put a sour edge on what is otherwise a beautiful city." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg187791d776335r187188250PapilloHotelRomeLazio.html,Date of stay: December 2013,Europe,Italy,Lazio,"Singapore, Singapore",Rome trip,Crap service.

Was asked to leave after checkin because the staff considered a black women travelling alone must have some illicit business. This is just gender and racial stereotyping that is not expected in today's society. Very disappointed in The Originals hotel group. -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg34877d7392737r502812046FairfieldInnSuitesAtlantaCummingJohnsCreekCummingGeorgia.html,Date of stay: July 2017,United States,Georgia GA,Cumming,"Atlanta, Georgia",3 night stay...Overall disappointed,"As travel agents that travel very often for business and pleasure both in the US and abroad, I must say that we were disappointed in this Fairfield Inn. At checkin the young lady was very nice and welcoming, but the guy that was assisting her was very unfriendly as was one of the other ladies while we were there. They would not speak or smile at any point. We even passed by the front desk on one occasion and heard a conversation between the guy and a guest where the guest was saying how unsegregated the area has become and its not what he was used to in this area. Smh. So if you plan to stay here, please know that this is Forsyth County Gasimply google it with a very small AA population less than 4 and a history of some extreme racial tension, so we were not suprised at all by his comments or the overall lack of friendliness during our stay.The room was much smaller than expected and had no sofa or loveseat as the pictures showed when we booked it. The AC unit is one of those older model ones that sits under the window and is controlled by the thermostat on the wall. It didnt cool very well or circulate throughout the room. It was VERY loud....so loud that we had to have the tv volume at 25 to hear over it. And it was difficult sleeping through the noise especially if you are accustomed to a very peaceful nights sleep. The cleanliness of the bathroom was disappointing. And when we arrived, one of the pillowcases had a large amount of dry blood on it!! We left the pillow on the floor for housekeeping to take with them the next morning, however when we returned the following day housekeeping had put it back on the bed when they came to ""clean""!!!! I called to notify the front desk, and because the lady very nice and apologetic was alone down there I had to get back dressed and go down to get a clean pillow. The pool was very small, almost like a large hot tub. We did not bother with getting in. Overall, for the price of about 175 per night total there are definitely much better choices in the area. Go a few exits up 811 on the Fulton County side for nice accommodations, more welcoming environment, and a better value. We will not return, or recommend this hotel to any of our clients.

All swimming happily, myself and spouse included, were black. Strange older white woman approaches and ask "" What's your room "". She didn't ID herself as management and it wasn't until after some disclosed personal info of room that she explained concern about unwelcome local kids sneaking onto property for a swim. We were all adults and paying customers. One person said their number and she replied, ""All of you"". She assumed we were together. I felt unsafe for several reasons. 1 I may have looked like I was with the other occupancy but just because I was same color doesn't make this a fact. I did not want to disclose my room number to them. and 2 I did not want to disclose my room to her. She was a stranger as well. And, with Georgia being at the top of list for sex trafficking, I had no interest in disclosing my personal whereabouts since her intentions were not clear yet. My husband was traveling on business and during day I was left alone at hotel. I didn't want uninvited guest. Later my husband identified her as someone from front desk. Why didn't she recognized me he asked. Everyone swimming that day concluded same idea. If all white folks were in the pool, no questions would have been asked. Simply too many blacks in one space at one time having fun. That made someone nervous. Thinking back, I recall white visitors on balcony towel in hand looking like they were missing out. I understand she has business concerns to prioritize but perhaps she should take this up with pesky locals not pay customers. Suggestion: Maybe a pool wristband would help. That way visitors can enjoy without harassment. rm204" -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg31522d76111r451878324Super8byWyndhamConwayConwayArkansas.html,Date of stay: January 2017,United States,Arkansas AR,Conway,unknown,Really bad service,"The rooms looked nice and clean from the last time I visited here some months ago.. but the front the front desk check in was very rude at around 2am, after traveling for some hours, I came to check in and she acted as if she didn't want to give me the room. She looked disgusted, and didn't smile not once and had this really horrible attitude. Upon my check out the other front desk attendant was rude as well and I heard her talked down upon her coworkers. My race is African American and she refused to look me in eye, but when this causcian walked in her attitude completely changed.

To begin with i'd like to be clear that i am in no way racist... if you are black DO NOT STAY HERE or even land at Antalya International airport... THE AIRPORTWhen going through passport control, there were 5 different queues; Disabled passengers2 for Turkish citizens2 for E passportsNo one knew which to stand in until a security officer came out and told us to queue anywhere so we did. We queued for 30mins in the shortest queue which was for disabled passengers. Once we got to the desk the woman behind the desk asked us for our visas which we didn't know we needed. I explained i wasn't told to get one to which she sucked her teeth, rolled her eyes and pointed us to the left with a snap. So we went to the office that she directed us to and i explained that i needed a visa but only had Turkish liyra. She made out she didn't understand and that i couldn't pay in liyra only euros and dollars. I asked her where i could take out the correct money and she shooed me off. So we went looking for a cash point and couldn't find any... i decided to go to the window next to her and ask again and was able to obtain a visa for 120tl make sure you have your visa before travelling I'm not entirely sure if everyone had to but i did once i got back to my sister she explained that whilst i was walking away the woman was flapping Turkish liyra around whilst pulling faces so she knew i could pay in tl... from the moment i arrived in the airport i was met with racial hostility from staff. Because of all of this we missed our shuttle but luckily, a gentle man was able to take us.ARRIVALThe hotel was almost an hour away from the hotel. Once we arrived at GS we were met by 2 lovely hospitality staff; a young man who looked like MJ and another older man unfortunately i was too exhausted to get their names. We were then taken to our rooms in a slightly run down lift that spoke weirdly once we reached the 4th floor. There were buggies and prams in the corridors which sometimes got in the way of traveling around the hotel.ROOM STANDARDSOur room was standard but not 4. The bathroom light made an electrical buzzing sound when you turned it off as if it were to explode and the main shower head churned violently when you turned it on and constantly dripped if you used the smaller shower head instead. The shower doors were a little worn and by our 2nd day one had unhinged.The floors in the room weren't mopped for the duration of our stay but the room in general was very clean. The beds were like sleeping on the floor with absolutely no bounce to provide a decent sleep unless you were wasted. We went to the beach on the 2nd day and i noticed my hip was stinging where the bed sheets had scratched me and i ended up with scale like cuts. The bed was awful. There were 2 plug ports one across the room and the other in the wardrobe so i had to sleep away from my phone which made turning my alarm off very difficult.To get away from all of the German and Polish people who constantly starred, laughed and pointed at us, we stayed in our room most evenings although that was a difficult task. In the hotel manual it states that they have tv channels in several languages; this was false, everything was either in Turkish, Polish or German. Everything from avengers, comedy central, cartoon network, csi and the big bang theory. There was absolutely NOTHING to watch so we ended up paying 24tl for wifi that barely worked. I called reception to ask and they confirmed there were no english channels; we went to the shop and got a pack of uno cards. The air con was a huge nuisance, trying to find a decent setting was a nightmare so we would often wake up super dehydrated or shivering. The minibar was stocked with 3 bottles of water. The room had a decent sized balcony but it faced another hotel and a short road, however it was pretty handy because they played decent music occasionally and made a nice background for photos. If you looked completely far right you could see mountains in the distance and to the far left the sea.FOODThe food was always the same, although there was a small menu that was given to us on a hotel timetable which was really handy which had specialities on different days but that wasn't the case. The food was out so there were often flies buzzing around or stuck to the food so you had to be careful what you were eating. The catering staff and waiting staff were lovely... waiting to het food was difficult especially if you have O.C.D because there were so many kids running around using their hands and coughing around the food, their parents didn't seem to care much. There was an freshly squeezed orange juice table; i walked past and could smell a mildew kind of smell, when i looked into the bowl half of the oranges were rotten. The juice costed 1 for a glass. The meal schedule for fully incl was breakfast, lunch, snacks burger chips, dinner and midnight soup which was whatever was left over; so chicken soup after roast chicken at dinner etc. The juices tasted like they were spiked with vinegar so we stuck to chips and Fanta or 7up. Most days we had to go to the local restaurant to eat because we didn't enjoy the hotel meals and so we were starving!Make sure you get your alcohol at duty free as the drinks served were not nice at all.On a positive note, my sister managed to get a table dressed for my birthday breakfast which was really lovely.POOLS, ENTERTAINMENT AND SPAThere were 3 pools; main pool with slides and bar, medium sized pool and paddling pool. They were checked regularly by specialist staff so i was very happy with that. The pools were always packed but when the children came over it was pretty busy. The entertainment was terrible and we heard the same activities at least 3 times whilst we were there. Again we didn't join in due to the starring and children running scared of us.The spa therapist who was hounding us was very irritating. We were sun bathing and he came over and started a conversation which then proceeded into a demonstration totally get that he has to promote the spa but he often disturbed us. We finally gave in and asked for prices although i had wanted to get treatments done on my birthday. He explained the prices which he said was 30tl35tl he asked us to add it up so we did but apparently it equalled 50tl instead, he was anxious to book us in and asked us again the next 2 days until it was uncomfortable seeing him.OTHER FACILITIESIn the hotel there are a few other services;A little shopOpticiansHair salonSpaSouvenir shopBag shopClothes shop super expensive almost 8 32tl for a sarong and the man was very rude and impatient because he couldn't understand mePhoto memorabilia we purchased a plate for 65tl but you may have to order it straight away as it takes 24hrsDiscoTHE BEACHThe beach was a 10min walk from the hotel. It had different sections for different hotels. There was food left on the side uncovered for guests and several birds were just pecking away. You would only see ""the beauty"" of it on alecarte evenings which i still wouldn't attend because the food is constantly left out. The sections had a large amount of loungers, some that were under a mass shelter and others that were dotted around closer to the sea which was good. The beach was relatively clean until you got to the end.THE AREAThere strip is very long with numerous shops selling pretty much the same thing. There are 3 or 4 convenient stores which would as you where you were from in a ""friendly"" way so they could bump the prices up if you said London. They sold lots of haribo, pringles and mms but nothing else familiar other than those.There were 3 main restaurants close to the hotel; a grotty looking kebabish, a slightly pricey shisha restaurant and a casual restaurant called Saray Restaurant owned by a lovely man. The food was quite nice especially the pizza and the service is lovely! A margarita pizza is 12.Further down to the right is a small shopping centre full of eager salesman that hound you as you walk past asking where you're from. They don't accept bartering so its best to look around the whole centre for better prices.If you fancy kfc or burger king you're looking at 1530 min taxi drive as the hotel is nowhere near the city!!!CHECKING OUTChecking out was awful. We were expected to stay all day without a shower. We checked out at 12 and our shuttle wasn't arriving until 7pm. We asked for a day room to freshen up before traveling home and we were directed to a single shower that had a missing shower door so water went everywhere. I paid for my wifi but i had my last day included so i could make contact with people especially as it was my birthday, however my wifi wasn't working. When i went to reception and explained the situation they said i had checked out so i had to go to the manager and demand that i had access to the wifi or my money back.Overall i will NEVER stay there again, its not 4 and not worth the money i spent." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg30226d72929r648714229BestWesternMountVernonFtBelvoirAlexandriaVirginia.html,Date of stay: January 2019,United States,Virginia VA,Alexandria,unknown,Racially Harassed by Staff and guest,"Awful treatment. The manager allowed other guest to make racial and harassing comments to me while these guest were blocking me in my room at the rooms door. The hotel security was standing watching them harassing me and they did nothing to stop it. The other guest were repeadily calling me a white bith at my door when a member of the hotel staff brought me a new room key to a different room because the neighbors were harassing us threw the walls for absolutely no reason. After going to a new room that was not very clean and not what I booked, I called the manager to discuss the room and the harassment. She spoke over me and did not allow me to speak. When I told her that I felt the need to call Best Western Corporate, she told me I had to leave and said she was calling the police. As a very law abiding citizen and someone who only treats people kindly, I did leave because I dont need to be involved in that. She also refused a refund after she made us leave due to my worries of being racially harassed and approached aggressively by other said guest. Im very glad that the hotel has video surveillance cameras near the door of my original room and vehicle that was parked outside. The videos will be extremely useful." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg1142455d1185234r247773775SchwarzwaldHotelGengenbachGengenbachBadenWurttemberg.html,Date of stay: December 2014,Europe,Germany,BadenWurttemberg,mumbai,"lovely hotel,not so lovely reception staff. 20thdec to 24th dec 2014","let me begin by saying that this is an absolutely lovely ,comfortable , value for money hotel. it is located across the river with wonderful views of gengenbach,slightly away fom the gengenbach oldtown centre but a very easy walk , the rooms are spacious ,the beds comfortable,breakfast adequate.in short this hotel has everything going for it except,it has the worst reception staff in the world.there is a lady called frau martin and I would advise future travellers to this property to stay clear of her.she is cold un cooperative and has absolutely no idea how one should conduct oneselves in the hospitalitly industry. she caused me immense discomfort in many ways . firdt of all she was always making faces rite thru the 4 days I stayed there. secondly I just needed a siple thing done like calling one of the mobile companies in Germany and getiing my pin for the sim card. I don't speak german or would have done it myself, she made such a ig deal out of it and in the end did not do it and even misguided me that it cannot be done on the phone . ultimately I got someone else to help my from a shop and got it done on the phone.now to some more serious matters. I had a booking here only for 2 days and I wanted to extend for another 2 days as I absolutely loved the hotel inspite of our dear friendly lady she tells me there is no chance of extending as they are totally sold out this was at 8 pm before the day I had to check out. so I packed up all my stuff and was ready to check out next day after breakfast. I saw a more approachable lady at the reception and asked her if I could extend. and surprise surprise she said of course I could.as there was room in the hotel. as if this was not enough frau martin caused further trouble for me I am sure intentionally since I was cxhecking out early on 24th dec moring I went to settle my bill on 23rd night itself.i was utterly dismayed to see frau martin at the reception I suspect the feelings were mutual I requested her to do the billing and as I never check I paid the 576 euroes by amex card which she asked for without a thought and went to my room.just by intuition I checked the bill once in my room and no surprise frau martin had charged me 42 euroes extra. I went down and pointed out her error which she was not willing to admit for atleast 10 minutes.then I gave her the day by day break up and showed my booking copies to her again.she cancelled the transction and charged my card again for the correct amount.as my account is in rupees amex charged me quite a sizeable amount as foreign exchange difference which I had to pay for no fault of mine. thre was another lady at the reception when I checked out,and just becose I forgot the card key inb the room slot she gave me such a dirty look as if I had commited a serious crime. all aspects of this hotel are very very good, even the price is definetly worth the hotel. would highly recommend staying here if you can stay clear of frau martin. I hope the management realizes that they truly have a really nice hotel and should make the most of it by keeping appropriate staff who are suited for the job. the hotel has an indoor pool and freee wifi which works pretty well. the room also has an heater and a clothes drier in the bathroom. I have travelled all over Europe but never seen staff which goes out of its way to cause problem to its guests. since no other guests have seemed to complained about this earliear reviews I suspect there may be an racial shade to this treatement as we are from india." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg1599559d1048931r552592251BanyualitSpanResortLovinaBeachBulelengDistrictBali.html,Date of stay: January 2018,Asia,Indonesia,Bali,"Seminyak, Indonesia",Discrimination,Nice hotel reasonably priced and good garden.

We had read other rebiews about loud campers but didn't think it would be a big issue. It was! Our neighbors a large group shined a bright light into our tent, yelled and played loud music until past 3:00 AM. When they were asked to be quiet, they laughed. It took until 2:00 AM for any park employee to come out. After he left they used racial slurs, cursed and said they were going to get their money's worth. He came again after 3:00 AM. They laughed about him getting overtime. Nothing was done. We complained the next day and were offered a new site. We declined and left. We talked to a dad at the playground who had a similar issue on the other side of camp. Apparently it seems to be a known thing that you can be loud, rude and inconsiderate and nothing happens. This creates bigger issues. Also dogs on the beach in the swim area when the sign clearly said no pets. Three employees walked by and didn't enforce. Once again, people will do whatever if rules aren't enforced. Will never go again and will tell everyone not to go.

There is a microwave in the room however looked like it was just thrown in to cover a hole. It was even unplugged and when we went to plug it, the plug wouldnt reach the wall. We had to take it down, put it on the floor so we could plug it while we heated up some food. The so called gym was a total joke.

We were there for 2 nights. Staff was mostly courtesy, our room was very clean and spacious, we picked a corner room on the Hilton app. The only issue I had with the room is the outer curtains didn't close all the way and inner curtains were veil thin so there still light from the streets coming in and then the sun in the morning. Still had a few good nights of sleep. Bed was comfortable as you can adjust the firmness and temperature control was steady.We had breakfast there our first morning, we waited to be seated for a few minutes and asked a staff member if we should seat ourselves. They showed us to a table and explain it was a buffet style, also they weren't our server. The food choices were little to choose from, they had some made to order items. Not being hopeful, I asked if they had turkey bacon, they didn't but had turkey sausage I was pleasantly surprised. Made to order items will be brought to your table. We saw our server twice to bring utensils and the made to order food, then she disappeared. We manage to get a cup of ice from her since I wanted ice coffee and it at first seemed selfserved. We heard her asked everyone else if they wanted coffee or water and the were brought mugs and glasses. We were never asked. Kind of put off by that, we kept getting up to get our own water and coffee at the self service welcome station with paper cups until they ran out of coffee at 10 am...mind you this was only the self serving kind. We were advised by another employee it would be refilled and to ask our server for more coffee. When we finally got our server's attention for water and coffee, she only brought out 1 water and coffee and ran off. There were two of us... my husband went to the buffet and had chocolate milk until we Overall the food and coffee were decent we both enjoyed our own pork and turkey sausage but the service needs to be work on. I'm not sure why we received poor service; the only differences between us and other tables with couples were we were a younger couple and a biracial one. I am not claiming bias as my husband is the same race as the server, honestly, our server just seemed lost in space but it doesn't account for her being attentive to the other tables and not us.I didn't use any of the other amenities like the pool working, business center or gym. We had a few drinks at the bar both nights. They were good and reasonable price, however some garnish would've been nice for my cocktail. Also, they had Cruzan rum listed on the menu but only carried two other standard rums. I wish they would update their menu as no reason was offer why they didn't have it. The bar area is very small so most guests were making use of the lobby seating and breakfast tables, it made for a cozy and comfortable atmosphere. I would stay here again, however we would take our chances crossing the busy road to have breakfast at Starbucks or go further into town and eat at a cafe like we did the second morning." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg37209d224832r505525083HolidayInnExpressSuitesIndianapolisNorthwestIndianapolisIndiana.html,Date of stay: July 2017,United States,Indiana IN,Indianapolis,"Westerville, Ohio","Clean, decent accommodations.",O my 1 waffle maker. Pic shows two. One tray of scrambled eggs and sausage patties. There wasn't enough room for everyone and there was a group of teenage boys hovering around the food and hogging the 1 waffle maker. Their language was offensive and racial slurs were being dropped making guests uncomfortable. They were African American dropping the n word at eachother. The breakfast area could use another waffle maker and tray of eggs and sausage for the number of guests who were staying there. Wait time did not permit several people to take advantage of the free breakfast which is taken I to consideration when booking a hotel. Just drop the breakfast and lower your price by 20 bucks and it would cut your expenses and provide a better stay experience for your guests. -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg1066443d1235856r624142687ShangriLaHotelTokyoChiyodaTokyoTokyoPrefectureKanto.html,Date of stay: October 2018,Asia,Japan,Kanto,unknown,Overpriced nothing,I vacation a lot. I have spent many months in city around the world. This place was the largest rip off I have come across. Everything is over priced and not good. Breakfast buffet was a total rip. The worse show of using a big name for overcharging guests. Many staff could not speak English which is disappointing. I am North American and found this hotel to have a racial component as well. Seemed a bit that all of Japan did. I just didnt expect it at my hotel. Ordered our 25 bar drinks after waiting for 15 mins just to wait another 20 mins to get it. However some Japanese guests treated instantly. We looked presentable and did not cause trouble. Were just North American. Our room was facing the train tracks so loud all day. The 2 elevator systems sucks if you want to enjoy the outside and come back in. The gym is very small.

Always a good reminder, that even in 2019, in this part of Goa, people just don't know how to treat people decently, and more importantly professionally.I stayed a couple of nights in Mandrem, and went to Dunes for dinner on both nights. It wasn't too busy on the first night, and though the staff was fairly surly I just assumed they were always like that, I received my order quickly, and it was tasty.I came back the second night, and it was a lot busier. I had to wait to be seated, and though they had a few tables open in the back section, I wanted to sit in the front by the sea. A table right by the front became available after a few minutes, and the waiter indicated that I should go and sit there, and said that he would be with me shortly.As I was walking towards my table, I saw a young, foreign couple get up from their table towards the back and start rushing towards the empty table that was supposed to be mine. They got there a second after I did, and the girl grabbed the chair and squeezed past me to try and sit down. It was absurd that they were behaving that desperately in the first place, but I calmly said to her that this was my table. She responded by saying that they'd been wanting to sit there, and I merely said that I'd been waiting, and this is where I'd been seated.By this time the waiter had arrived at the table, and when confronted by a scene where he presumably had to choose between pleasing a slightly unreasonable foreign couple, or doing his duty and seating his Indian customer, he chose the former.He motioned with his hand towards the table that they'd just vacated, and said ""go sit over there"" in Hindi, and gave them the table at the front.I contemplated making a scene, but decided not to go through the trouble of doing so, since sorting this out was their responsibility and not mine. Giving the couple the benefit of the doubt, I asked the waiter if perhaps they had put their names down and asked to move tables earlier, but he confirmed that no, they hadn't. I asked him on what basis he gave them the table over me, and he shrugged and said ""what do you want me to do"".At this point, I told him that it was pretty clear where his ideals were, and he just smirked and walked off. I left the restaurant feeling quite sickened and upset at being treated like this I honestly don't know why this kind of thing still happens. It's a beach shack in Mandrem after all, so it's not like spending power is really a factor here.I called the place later, and made a complaint to the management. They barely bothered to listen to the call, and ended it saying they would pass my ""feedback"" on. I'm pretty sure that went nowhere." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg1021352d1122203r640521652LotteAraiResortMyokoNiigataPrefectureKoshinetsuChubu.html,Date of stay: October 2018,Asia,Japan,Chubu,unknown,Racism,I am extremely disappointed to share my experience of the racism at lotte Arai hotel.

However, compared to other four seasons branches the resort in Mauritius seemed more like a 3 star hotel in terms of ethical standards and service. We had an incident where we were subject to a racist attack and verbal abuse by a couple at the beach because they wanted to sit on the beds that we were sitting at even though all other beds around us were empty. We were three girls wearing head scarfs and the foreign couple made comments about our head scarfs, the country we come from and gave us the middle finger. The beach attendant raised the matter to the management of the resort as he seemed genuinely concerned about us. However, the statements made by the resort management once they became aware of the incident were very sad and alarming. The front desk manager stated the following ""the couple's behavior is not a breach of any law in Mauritius and the resort can't do anything about it"", ""the guy is from Italy and giving hand gestures is something normal"" and ""only if there was physical abuse then we can take action against it"". Further, they assured us that we will not encounter the couple for the rest of our stay at the resort but nothing was done by the resort. We have encountered the same couple at every restaurant we had breakfast and dinner at. The resort became a very hostile environment for us following the incident. I don't think the staff at the resort understand the magnitude of racism as they tried to offer us spa treatment to ""forget about what happened"". The code of ethics available on the four seasons website clearly states that verbal abuse will not be tolerated. But, their own staff don't uphold any of the integrity and ethical standards mentioned under their own code. Nowadays, even small shops that are desperate for business take firm actions against racism by reporting it to authorities and refusing to host racist people and a 5 star resort like four seasons decided to tolerate racism and do nothing about the matter." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg1189030d3659056r277934435SouthBeachResortKoggalaGalleDistrictSouthernProvince.html,Date of stay: July 2014,Asia,Sri Lanka,Southern Province,"Las Vegas, Nevada",Amil K. is worng!,"The review written by Amil K. does not relate to reality and what could have happened. As a former travel executive I could vouch that Amil K. is wrongfully referring to the world wide policy of hotels allowing only guests to use the pool. Hotels all over the world from Las Vegas strip to Maldives use this policy to provide privacy for their guests. Amil K. must have attempted to use the hotel pool and was told that the pool is only for guests. People from Sri Lanka are very friendly and kind. They even do not have a word or term for racism in common use Sinhala language. I am not going to believe a hospitality industry worker from Sri Lanka would make such a comment even in private. But Amil K would like me to believe that the receptionist made such a comment to the face of the race that she was offending.The receptionist in question has the skin color of brown or black! Amil K. states that she is being racist to her own race If that is the case that is not racism. Amil K. has arguments that are horribly poor. Just like his spelling. I am going to be visiting Sri Lanka again soon and will make it a point to stay at this beautiful hotel.

The rooms were beautiful and the breakfast was great but if there's one thing that I stand firmly for, it would be the understanding of different cultures and acceptance of diversity. Traveled to Nea Kios with my hockey team mates for the EuroHockey Indoor Club Champions Challenge II. The majority of my team mates are pakistani and due to their religious beliefs, they can only eat halal meat. Since Nea Kios is such a small town, there is no halal meat available so they had no option that to order food to be delivered from Athens. We all gathered in a room, moved the furniture around, laid a sheet on the ground and placed the food on top, then sat in a circle and began to eat something that they've done several times in other hotels in countries like Serbia, Turkey, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Sweden, and Germany. Next thing we know, the owner comes in screaming in half greek half english saying it was not allowed and we were destroying his hotel. Words cannot describe my horrifying experience. His rage was unnecessary and it got to the point of being violent he had slammed his arm against the door, broke the bed after hitting it, and almost hit one of my team mates. He eventually yelled at all of us to get out and started picking up the food and almost throwing it on the ground outside. I didn't understand what we had done was wrong.His justification for reacting so strongly was that he had spent much of his time and money into building this hotel and we were destroying his room and it wasn't allowed to gather everyone in a room and eat together. Apparently, if he had called the tourist agency, we would of been taken and placed in jail for what we did... but honestly it's complete bs. If he didn't agree with us eating there he could of went about it in a much more rational matter but this man came raging in like we had ransacked his hotel. It saddens me to say but if I had been traveling with an all white team, we would of never have been placed in this situation. I understand Greece is going through harsh financial times and with all the illegal immigrants being deported back to Greece breeds much animosity between different races but that in no way validates discrimination and racism. You cannot judge a person based on stereotypes and assumptions. I've played hockey with these men for sometime now and I know they meant no harm; it's in their culture to gather together and eat... as it is in many others.How can the we make the world be a better place if we continue to close our eyes to different cultures and give into to stereotypes rather than change them Even if this hotel was the best, it's against my morals to condone to such behavior. I'd rather have slept in a sleeping bag on the beautiful beaches of Nea Kios..." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg147289d281753r515158182HodelpaCaribeColonialSantoDomingoSantoDomingoProvinceDominicanRepublic.html,Date of stay: August 2017,Caribbean,Dominican Republic,Santo Domingo Province,unknown,Problem racism,The room was great and have good equipment.

I thought it was going to be nothing more than pleasantries but to my dismay I was incorrect. Once I got to the resort I was nearly manhandled for my luggage by the concier. The gentleman continuously try to grab my bags. I told him more than three times I do not want my bags taken and place to the side. If he had secured my bags I would have been okay but he wanted to take my bags and put them in a pile of other guess bags that was no more than 10 feet away from the entrance into the resort. There was no one on constant watch of the luggage that sat in that position. I don't understand to take their luggage and just place it 10 to 15 ft away from the entrance especially during the time of now when we are experiencing high volume of terrorism and thievery. If that wasn't enough I went to the bar in the lobby a mature Russian lady was waiting to get the attention of the bartender before I got there I saw her from less than 5 ft away. I was second in line as I approach the bar. The bartender was speaking to a manager at the time no one else was serving drinks at that moment a gentleman if I should call him that approach the bar and as soon as the bartender and management had finished speaking the bartender looked over the lady that was waiting there. He directed his attention pointed to the male who walked up last and asked him what was he drinking the mail gave his order at that time I spoke out and said to the bartender that this gentleman was last the lady was first the bartender ignored me and continue to serve the mail that came last. I looked over to the lady and gestured would she speak up she told me don't worry about it. Once the man was served he made a smart comment to me and I informed him such behavior is not becoming. The bartender was informed by me once again that the man came last and should have been served last but not before the lady who was standing here. The bartender seemed as though he didn't understand what I said and told me as he motioned his hand to stop he said I'll serve you last. What was the reason for that He then served the lady and the lady walked past me with her drinks and said sexism. The bartender then came over to me and said what do you want Not what would you like to drink Miss. He clearly was Not being courteous to me by saying, what do you want I figured there was a language barrier so I said to him did you understand what I was trying to say to you sir The bartender said what do you want to drink I told him I will order a drink but I'd like to know if you understood what I was expressing to you I had made mention that the man was last to come to the counter the female was first I second and the man was last but you served him first. The bartender said so you don't want anything to drink I told him are we having difficulty understanding each other He said no I understand. So once he said he understood it clearly told me he purposely was rude and sexism played apart in his decision. I was going to go to the manager and let the manager know how disrespectful this person was so that he or she could look in the camera and see exactly what took place. I'm hoping that the camera footage is still available if management decides to make contact with me. The bartender was given my order and when he made my drink it was not tasteful. Regardless of his behavior I counteracted it with kindness I even gave a tip. He never said sorry he never apologized for his despicable Behavior. I experienced racism wow at this Resort it appears if you are Puerto Rican some Dominicans are not fond of you. This experience came about while going to the discotech that this Resort publicizes as a discotech they recommend. A staff member at the bar had the audacity to speak to a patron using the word n e g r o. The person is from Puerto Rico their skin color is dark and once he opened his mouth and spoke it was clear he was not from DR. Before speaking his girlfriend ordered the this Resort is definitely not some place I would recommend drinks where she is from Dr and everything was fine once the girlfriend left the bar to go to the restroom he ordered another drink something happened between those few seconds with the bartender and the patron as a result he was insulted and removed himself from the bar without the drinks. When his girlfriend came from the bathroom he had a very small discussion with her she wanted to approach the bar tender but he pulled her and they left out of the club. I just don't understand why people can't get along. I will not return to this Resort if it were only one staff member that was rude to me I might. But being harassed by the Bellboy to take my bags and even though telling him more than once no then being insulted and disrespected by the bartender and to hear such negativity from another bartender at the Disco more than enough for me not to return. I must admit the food was not all that too wish for. I would say the best meal was the Asian meal plan they had one night. The morning breakfast was a repeat the day before using the same products not necessarily the same food but the same thing they cook that day they cooked the day after which was a repeat it wasn't very much of a change if they added one or two things it didn't really make a big of a difference. The entertainment that they offered at the pool was not exciting. The music that they played at the club or though Spanish music Bachata salsa Merengue were all welcome what happened to RB pop and alternative music. The entertainment at night at the atrium was not very entertaining either. I just would not return I suggest anyone who decides to go here because the price looks good to really read over a few of the reviews because there's no reason for patrons to give a two or one star review because they're not being paid to do so. The action must have taken place. Best of luck. I have posted pictures one includes the disrespectful bartender" -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg150807d13010726r575292527MelodyMakerCancunCancunYucatanPeninsula.html,Date of stay: April 2018,Mexico,Yucatan Peninsula,Quintana Roo,unknown,Racism,"I stayed here with my boyfriend last week with very high expectations based on the reviews. Unfortunately, we did not share the same experiences other people had.I do want to talk about the positives as well. I was very happy with the bar restaurant staff. They were so friendly and I was happy to tip them everytime they made a drink for us. I also really enjoyed the breakfast buffet. There were many things this hotel was lacking.1. The food options at this hotel are extremely limited, very unusual for an allinclusive hotel. There is a buffet, 2 asian restaurants open only for dinner, 1 mexican open only for lunch. Apparently there is a French restaurant as listed on their website, but numerous times when asked when the French restaurant will be open they responded tomorrow. This was never the case and I was informed they made french food in the buffet. 2. The room in the hotel is severely lacking. We stayed in the oceanfront suite. The were dust everywhere especially on the counter on top of our bed. The air condition also provided unbreathable air. I dont think the filters are changed regularly. We decided to turn off the air conditioning and had the balcony open most of the time when we were in the room. The fridge did not work as well. Out of the 7 days we stayed the fridge was restocked once. We had to call the front desk to restock our fridge each day. We also had to call several times to get more towels toilet paper. I experienced poor service numerous times but we did our best to enjoy our time at the Melody Maker. This all changed when I faced racism. We decided to go on various tours and only had Friday Saturday to enjoy the hotel services. Unfortunately, we were unable to find towels or an umbrella on Friday so we gave up and enjoyed our time inside the hotel. We were committed to spending the day outside on Saturday but had an outrageous experience. I was in charge of finding a seat and umbrella and my boyfriend went on a mission to find towels. I found a seat and asked 3 different staff for an umbrella and they all said they were out. I would have been okay with this but I noticed they were not out of umbrellas and a lady maybe manager telling the staff members where to distribute the umbrellas. I went to her and asked for an umbrella and she told me she was out. After I spoke with her 2 people went to her and were brought umbrellas immediately. I then saw her distributing 5 more umbrellas to guests. I then went to her again and she told me she was out of umbrellas. My boyfriend had been walking around for 30 minutes trying to find a towel. He eventually gave up and brought the towels in our hotel room we used earlier that morning. I explained the situation to my boyfriend and we concluded that maybe she was being racist towards me Asian Canadian. My boyfriend White Canadian asked me to stay where I was seating and sat alone a few seats away from me. He then asked for an umbrella and was brought an umbrella immediately. When I went to join my boyfriend the lady noticed I was getting an umbrella and gave me a really dirty look. Unfortunately, racial discrimination is an everyday reality around the world but I should not encounter racism while I am on vacation. Looking back I regret not saying anything in that moment. Maybe if I had said something I would have enjoyed the last 2 days of my vacation..." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg150807d155818r613358184ReflectKrystalGrandCancunCancunYucatanPeninsula.html,Date of stay: September 2018,Mexico,Yucatan Peninsula,Quintana Roo,unknown,Racism and derogatory slanders,"BEWARE. Although we encountered many disappointments during this bachelorette trip with this resort, the most offensive came at the very end of our trip. We were unfortunate victims of racism because we are African American. We were called Negras by the bartender in the main lobby bar, which we ignored at the time.... but then when we tried to get wine for our last night in the room with the bridetobe and went to the front desk to ask about burning a bottle for the room, we were completely ignored by the front desk receptionist, Isabella. Isabella never looked up from her desk, compl text ignored us, and was blatantly racist towards our group. At this point we asked for a manager and Alexis came out to assist. Alexis was helpful and we decided to report the deragotaory term used by his bartender with us that evening as we wanted him to know exactly what was going on at his hotel. As our friend explained to him what happened, Isabella began to laugh when we said that we were called negras, she laughed. She laughed at a deraogratory term used to refer to her guests at her resort. It was the ultimate slap in the face. We all were flabbergasted by her laughing and asked Alexis why she would laugh at something like that. We asked Isabella her last name and she pointed defiantly towards her name tag and said her name to us. We asked her why she would laugh at something so horrific that happened to guests at her hotel. Alexis then told her in Spanish to go into the back and she walked away. This was the most offensive, inappropriate, hateful treatment I have ever received at a resort. Further, this treatment is illegal and unlawful. We have booked 6 rooms and 12 people are here attending the bachelorette party. Alexis has told us that a report will be filed and it will be investigated. Once thats done I am more than happy to update this review. This is such an unfortunate experience. But my hope is that no one else would have to experience this kind of racism because of this warning." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg1576935d2308346r143972803EldoradoLodgeKurumanNorthernCape.html,Date of stay: October 2012,Africa,South Africa,Northern Cape,unknown,Terrible service with racism,"I had made bookings for a two night stay and ended up being only one due to the terrible service and racism.

Was fined 800 the following day and chucked out of the hotel for that. Even the cleaners confirmed that such accidents always happen but chasing us away was something else. The ladywhite manager was very rude and could see herself that her grounds for chasing us out were very weak and full of racism. We claimed the bedding we had been charged for and it was already washed with no stains to show that they are used to this. Because we went to a wedding at kuruman we left the hotel after day 1 to another hotel but was totally inconvenienced and offended by the treatment. I wouldn't advice anyone to go to that hotel as the same thing can happen to you. She even threatened to call the police, I was really waiting for her to do that because the table were going to turn to her due to her discrimination. I haven have proof of what they have done to us.

Horrifically, the three white members of staff verbally abused and tried to diminish her for a full hour in front of guests until her son arrived, all over an apparent breach of the hostel's terms and conditions, which they later confirmed didn't even exist. Such an ugly display of hate by young men and women who should know better. This came a day after they kicked a black man out of his room so a young white woman could have his bed.

Granted, I was with 16 other Taiwanese people in an architecture tourist group, so certain amount of uncomfortable glances and rudeness was expected anywhere we go as we werent accustomed to their culture and ethics. At this point, if you still havent get where Im trying to get to in this delicate matter, then I will blatantly say that we are RACIALLY DISCRIMINATED. Personally, Ive travelled well enough all over the globe and to some, studied to recognize racism when I see one. First off, I think one or two people in my group decided to change rooms after the rooms didnt meet their standards general speaking, hygienic matter. The concierge reacted rude as they rolled her eyes and spoke god knows what in French. Secondly, when my friends and I went down to the lobby bar for a drink that night, we had to wait 45 mins until the bartender actually showed any interest in taking our orders. After taking the orders with a unbelievable attitude, as me and my friends were playing cards, the concierge earlier and the waiter argued in French, clearly about us but not directly. They specifically were arguing with each other and pointing at us and shouting les Chinois, in which, even if they didnt, anybody couldve tell by the body language they were displaying. Waiter later had no interest in taking our money, overall, it was just despicable. What came after was the worst. In the morning we were yelled and pointed into another private room even though the dining room only had a family eating there. At this point, I thought to myself that it was understandable since we have such a big group. HOWEVER, WHILE WE WERE EATING, WE DISCOVERED THAT THE HAM IN THE BREAKFAST BUFFET WAS ROTTEN. THEY HAD MOLD AND DISCOLORATION, ON PURPOSE OR NOT, THIS HAS CROSSED THE LINE AND WHEN ONE OF OUR MORE FLUENT FRENCH SPEAKER CONFRONTED THEM, THEY SHRUGGED AND SAID, WHAT ELSE DO YOU EXPECT. Even though, the manager did come after waiting for another half an hour, she showed no remorse and spoke in a condescending tone. Now, I think in all perspective, I would have been less angry if the 4 starred Mercure didnt advocate their great professional service and their international known fame. It was disheartening and disappointing. I will not recommend ANYONE to visit because it left a bitter taste in my first impression of France." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg187175d226984r572670837HotelLeClocherDeRodezToulouseHauteGaronneOccitanie.html,Date of stay: April 2018,Europe,France,Occitanie,"Jakarta, Indonesia","Worst Hospitality ever, clear racism","Traveling through South of France a Family of 7 with 1.5 years old infant, Parents in law and mom 70 old .

We were shocked Hotel has cancelled our paid booking, apparently they informed me by email me 6:30 pm evening before. I am travelling with a baby, senior citizen. It's raining and cold and windy, waiting to get into a room. Traveling by delayed trains thanks to French railway StrikeCompensation: they booked us in a another hotel, umbrella, to walk to the hotel. water to drink and promised to send our luggage to new hotel.How can you cancel our ""paid booking"" when you know we have a infant baby cot during booking she said some guests over stayed seriously. I asked the reception ""In this weather will you walk with your child and old people walk to another hotel this in a unknown city"" she said its common in France. ""Seriously"".I said why didn't you arrange atleast arrange taxi, because we are with senior and a child. where is the Manager, ""He is Busy"" A family with infant and senior, you cancelled the booking and Manager couldnt even appologies I said, I will share my review in websites..

New hotel won't mention the name Motel is a over statement, probably good for a day trip. She said our breakfast is free in Hotel le Clocher de Rodez, but then we have to go back to that hotel for Breakfast. We asked why cant u put us in a better hotel. She said you can save money with smaller hotel. You will get the balance of the money. This is where I felt clear racism since I come from Asia. I am sure if I was a European or of American Origin, they would think twice before cancel my booking, or even thinking of making me walk in such bad weather. Racism still exist in France.

Rooms are outdatedfurniture still from the fifties and are rather stuffy. This goes for the whole place... There's WiFi but it's slow and only works in certain areas.

Last, it's far from the city centre.Whenever in Nice, and this has been a couple of times the last fifteen years I go to this hostel but this is the last time. I had a heated discussion with one of the cleaning ladies about her poking around in my stuff. She was very rude and just downright impossible, and the other staff pretty much followed.

While I understand that this was probably meant to be friendly, it is 2019 and that sort of behavior isn't acceptable to me as a guest of the hotel. The fact that one of the biggest topics of conversation on his mind was my race, and then to make that gesture just left a bad taste in my mouth, and I got no apology for it either. The other incident was that waitress at one of the restaurants was WAY too pushy about getting me to sign up for a OneHarmony hotel memberhsip account I kept saying no around 45 times when I was in a hurry to pay my bill until the point where I felt like she must get commission or something for it.

Because, I have nothing bad to say about the hotel per se, as for rooms, cleanliness etc. I mean, this is a newly built hotel, located really pretty by the guest harbour, and it had fresh, clean rooms with comfortable beds. We stayed at the 4th floor and weren't bothered by noisy drunk locals, and were pretty satisfied roomwise....But here's what bugs me: I have never been as ignored from bartenders as I was at The Bishops Arms the hotel's pub/restaurant, and I have never suspected it to be because of my origins until now! I don't carry Swedish features, but I am brought up in rnskldsvik, although I haven't lived there for many, many years now. On Friday evening, me and my boyfriend decided to have a beer before going to bed. It was around 10.30 pm, and the bar wasn't crowded, and what happened next was like from a movie cliche:You know, one walks into a bar, there are hardly any guest there I think there were about two more guests standing around, waiting to get served yes, the patio was crowded, but the bar area was almost empty. Then, the new arrived guest waits, and waits, and waits. The three ! bartenders glancing at the new guest, but keep on ignoring. The other guest get their drinks, walks away, but the first one still waits. New guests arrive, get served before the first guest... And so on. Then, finally, I said to my boyfriend, ""let's split up and see what happens"" and, what do you know, five seconds later the bartenders came over and he could make an order!Next morning, at breakfast, I saw one of the bartenders were working as a breakfast host. And, when I asked him if they had any lactose free milk, he didn't look at me, didn't utter a word, just pointed at a spot where the milk carton was and walked away.So, if I had only the hotel rooms to review, I would say ""Great! Stay at this hotel with clean rooms and average breakfast."", but since Bishops Arms is part of the hotel and evidently they share service staff, I can only shake my head and say that I'm truly and utterly disappointed and sad that I have the notion of being subjected to racism in my old home town." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg190383d1546276r662926804GoldenTulipNicosiaHotelandCasinoNicosiaNicosiaDistrict.html,Date of stay: April 2019,Europe,Cyprus,Nicosia District,unknown,Racism and discrimination,"DO NOT visit this hotel if you look or are Chinese or Russian.I stayed at this hotel for business.I had a few hours to myself, so I decided to visit the casino.I sat down at one of the Blackjack tables and one of the employees asked for my name,so I gave him my Pasha casino card.He returned my card with the announcement: You're not allowed to play at the Blackjack tableI asked him what the reason is to refuse me, he said again: You are not allowed to play BlackjackAnother employee maybe a floor manager also came to me and he confirmed that I was not allowed to play at the Blackjack table, but only on the machines or roulette table.So I asked this man again, which casino rules are refusing me to play Blackjack here.He answered: Russians and Chinese are not allowed to play Blackjack hereSo I showed him my Dutch National ID card, proving to him and his colleagues that Im not Chinese, but a Dutch citizen!Again I asked them, why Im not allowed to play here because I just proved to him Im a Dutch citizen.

I got the recommendation from a friend to be certified at Blue Ocean Dive Resort. Nicki was so friendly and responsive over email that I became even more excited about my trip.With all of the great reviews and recommendations, you can imagine how surprised I was when management was blatantly unprofessional and disrespectful towards the staff. Being American and having traveled around southern Africa I am well aware of the racial tension but this was the first tourist spot that made no effort to even hide it. I am not sure weather they are not concerned with attracting international/forward thinking travelers the place is BURSTING with regulars decked out in Blue Ocean Dive sweat shirts or it is just a result of no one calling them on it, but I was very uncomfortable on multiple occasions. Race aside, there should be no reason why costumers hear you screaming at your staff because there is no food and another boat is coming in! or how absolutely ridiculous it is that breakfast is not out yet or any of the other frustrations that should be kept behind closed doors multiple times. Even after I told my dive instructor that it was fine and I was happy with toast he responded that that was not the point and remained agitated, giving the start of our lesson bad energy. This experience was later followed by a rant from said instructor prefaced by Not to be racist in anyway! about how apartheid was good. I was willing to let all of this slide so to speak until I was sitting at the bar at the same time many of the black staff were and the owner came over and jokingly asked Is this an illegal gathering All of these blacks sitting here. Back in the day you all wouldve been arrested. It made me sick to my stomach to listen to the staff laugh reluctantly. Management was so kind to me that I began to feel I was getting my first taste of the phony treatment money can buy you. It is unfortunate because the younger guys, dive masters, skippers, kitchen staff and the actual diving are cool; but in this case a few rotten apples does spoil the barrel. If you are not okay with racist remarks and public displays of stress and frustration I would HIGHLY recommend you check into one of the other dive centers in the area. If racism and unprofessionalism do not bother you, then perhaps the absence of curtains thankfully had a large blanket in my luggage to cover my window forever flushing toilet, dampness from the half walled in bathroom or the unfilled promise of cheesecake will. I had trouble equalizing and was all for just diving shallow and exploring but I became so offended and fed up that I decided to get out asap! The silver lining is that this sleepy beach town is not to far from the city so it was easy to book somewhere else and change my plans." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg2435125d3491989r349003300ThePalmyrahHouseMannarNorthernProvince.html,Date of stay: February 2016,Asia,Sri Lanka,Northern Province,"Colombo, Sri Lanka",Racism at its best,"Beautiful place indeed, unfortunately, I was at the receiving end of the Manager, Mr. Manilal's racism, when I called enroute from Colombo to let him know our time of arrival and order dinner as we were late.The booking was made by one of the visitors I was traveling with and we were given the number by the Colombo office. As I was traveling, I couldn't hear the lady on the phone and mistook Manilal a Sinhala name for Mariyadas a Tamil name, so I spoke to him in Tamil assuming he was a local. But when I said ""Vanakkam"" greeting in Tamil, the Manager shouted ""Speak in Sinhala! This is Sri Lanka! Speak in Sinhala or English, I don't know Tamil!"".It was rather unfortunate that we were on a field trip to the North and East and the Palmyrah House was our first stop. The visitors remarked at the rather evident racism.I couldn't bear to speak to the Manager when we arrived, though he was bent over double and almost servile when greeting the international visitors.I was too upset to bring up the matter, and he also didn't apologize.I later heard him berating the two Tamil speaking boys who brought our bags up, in English. Which was rather ironic.They seemed to pick up on my discomfort and asked if I had called earlier.Given the rash of military owned and run hotels and resorts in the North and East, it would be interesting to know the story of Palmyrah House and it's supposedly ""Sri Lankan"" Manager who not only doesn't seem to know one of the local languages of his country, but also is rude to anyone else who speaks it.Rather an unpleasant stay." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg2550417d3213839r335985829OlievenfonteinPrivateGameReserveBehoudeniskloofLimpopoProvince.html,Date of stay: December 2015,Africa,South Africa,Limpopo Province,"Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa","Tranquility in pristine bushveld or, alternatively, ""Henry R, what on earth are you on about""","What a wonderfully relaxing and enriching experience!The management team of Johan and Jen were welcoming, friendly and helpful. The rest of the staff were equally friendly and helpful, as well as being wonderfully efficient. The rooms were spotless and nicely equipped, pretty much exactly as described in the information blurb on the website. I'm sorry Henry R, but nowhere on the website could I find reference to aircon and the ceiling fans were no more noisy that any others I have come across anywhere else maybe you should actually go to the trouble of reading up on the places you choose to book at The reserve itself is absolutely beautiful! Pristine, unspoiled bushveld in a flat valley set between two ridges in the Waterberg. Game numbers seem to me to be about what I would expect to be appropriate to a well managed ecosystem plenty to see, but not to the point of numbers that would result in overgrazing. Despite this, Johan informed me that it is generally necessary to augment feed for about three months of the year. I'm writing this sitting on the veranda outside our chalet watching half a dozen blue wildebeest, a dozen or so zebra, a small herd of impala and a sounder of warthog all with their young grazing less that 200m from where I'm sitting. Henry R, perhaps you are confusing a zoo with a game reserve The game drives up to the plateau on the top of one of the ridges were very enjoyable and pretty much what we have come to expect sometimes seeing a wide variety of game and other times not much at all. However, even when there is not much game to see, the differing vegetation in different areas of this small area is amazing and there is abundant bird life. Johan might not be the most chatty of of guides, but regularly pointed out interesting things on the drive, including stopping to pick ""stamvrug"" wild milk plums for those of us who hadn't tasted them before to sample, picking fronds of Boekenhoudboom wild beech tree seeds for those who wished to attempt to germinate them at home, venturing off road to get us closer to the eland and zebra herds and accompanying us all to view and discuss a pelvis and spine with attached skin spotted next to the road in the absence of a skull, he eventually concluded that it was the remains of a particularly large brown hyena. He was clearly very knowledgeable and quite willing to answer questions in detail, being fluent in both English and Afrikaans one of our party is a Brit. Monique717, I can fully understand your disappointment at your picnic being washed out, but on our arrival Jen very clearly explained to us that picnics are only available during off peak times when the lodge is quiet enough to enable them to arrange them almost lucky you we wanted to arrange a picnic too, but couldn't due to the lodge being fully booked, and that game drives were undertaken three times a day on a strictly firstcome, firstserved basis. I further understand that he people you saw going on a game drive after you were informed that no further game drives were going to take place that day was in fact the owner of the game reserve. Whilst I can fully understand your disappointment, I guess the owner is entitled to go on a game drive whenever he wishes toFrom what I could see, the walking trails on the reserve are clearly marked and vary from easy 2 or 4 km rambles, to hikes up into the ridges for the more adventurous we were advised against trying these due to a couple of very active leopard in the vicinity Jen explained to us that they very definitely prefer not to lose guests to the leopards : . Being somewhat lazy, we stuck to the easier rambles, which we thoroughly enjoyed because no hunting is allowed on the reserve, the animals are very relaxed and do not startle easily, allowing one to approach to within 50 100m before they move off. I was somewhat intrigued by Henry R's vitriolic criticism, given that this flew directly in the face of our experience and therefore decided to explore some of his criticisms. The chalet next to the septic tank he complained about did not smell at all of sewage and the group staying in the chalet confirmed that they have previously booked the chalet and have never experienced this to be a problem. On enquiry, Johan confirmed that the sewage line from the chalet to the septic tank did block whilst Henry R and his group were staying there, entirely due to the group flushing sanitary pads, tampons and condoms down the toilet, in direct contravention of the standard request in the bathroom not to do so.As far as the complaint related to having to pay extra for extra guests staying in a chalet specifically designated to sleep a specific number of guests is concerned ... really REALLY Tell me Henry R, do German lodges I understand that you are German, allow guests to stuff as many extra guests as they want to into their chalets that are advertised to sleep two only, without extra chargeThen onto the complaints of racism. There happened to be two separate black families staying at the game reserve at the time we were there. Both families were visibly surprised when I described Henry R's accusations of racism against management to them. One of guys I spoke to spontaneously responded ""there must be something wrong with that guy!"". On enquiry, I was informed that the unpleasantness appeared to have started after one of Henry R's party, who happened not to be white, seriously damaged the hoisting mechanism of the rather expensive umbrellas at the swimming pool, apparently due to not understanding how the mechanism worked. Reportedly when Henry R, as the head of the group, was requested to please ensure that his party did not do any more damage, but rather request assistance, he took serious umbrage and publicly and vociferously accused Johan of racism. Justified The black families I spoke to did not appear to think so. Some people, it appears, are just impossible to please!In conclusion, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, find little or no merit in the complaints posted and would happily recommend Olievenfontein as an amazing venue for those seeking peace and quiet!" -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg2550417d3213839r245890888OlievenfonteinPrivateGameReserveBehoudeniskloofLimpopoProvince.html,Date of stay: December 2014,Africa,South Africa,Limpopo Province,"Hamburg, Germany","Basic accommodation, excessive price. Bad service and racism included.","We went here with a group of 10 adults and stayed in different cottages. We did not enjoy our stay at all for the following reasons: Eventough the hole complex is very nice and we'll looked after, the cottages themselves are only on a very basic level: No airconditioning only big fans, which are very noisy, tiny rooms, small TV. Apart from that, no bar or shop facility is provided. Moreover, one cottage was placed directly near to the septic tank the smell was very unpleasant. This would have been alright if not the pricing would not be so unfair and in our case just excessive. As I said, we stayed in different cottages: Although we were told that every client hat to pay the same amount, for the people of our group it differed between 1100 Rand and 650 Rand per person and night. Although the cottage of the other groupmembers was much nicer, we had to pay most. Furthermore, we booked the hole cottage on Booking.com and then we're forced to pay 50 more for a third person. This is just ridiculous; we felt ripped off. At the end, we payed 13.200 Rand for 3 person for 4 nights in a basic selfcatering cottage this was the maximum we had to pay in 2 weeks travel through Southafrica and we stay only in very upmarket and luxurious places. When we complained about this, we got a very harsh answer from the management. We ordered breakfast for the first day. Again, very expensive and just bad. When we asked for a fried egg, we were told in an inappropriate way that we had to accept what was offered and our wishes would not be heard. Some members of our groups were black. Twice, the manager made racist comments an absolute nogo. They did not feel welcome. The game reserve does not have too many animals. Therefore, the ""game""drive was quite boring. Also, the manager seemed not motivated and made no comments at all on the drive. While the black travelgroup members were told, that it was a quiet place and they had to calm down, no such comment was made to a big group with several wild kids chilling at the pool therefore got embarrassing." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg255102d736458r569861786BroomeBeachResortBroomeKimberleyRegionWesternAustralia.html,Date of stay: March 2018,South Pacific,Australia,Western Australia,"Melbourne, Australia",The elder lady behind the desk is a typically racism,"At the first day we arrived there, its a young lady who helped us check in with patient.

The fresh fruit juices blended with mint are heavenly, all servings are generous and really cheap! Note though that they only allow people who are staying at the hotel to enjoy the restaurant, so you can't share these treats with friends who may be staying elsewhere.The woman who offers tourism advice in the foyer is lovely, there is a swimming pool and although the rooms are basic they are clean and have a balcony and it all comes at a very low price tag. All these things are great. Me and my friend were however treated with arrogance and INCREDIBLE rudeness, in its worst form, by the man in the reception who is there every day, from the moment we arrived at the hotel until we left. He made us feel really small and VERY unwelcome! I wish we had reacted with anger and that we had just left the place but we were so stunned at the way he treated us and questioned us and were also too tired to start looking for another place. We were also asked if we were staying there, EVERY time we had food in the restaurant. We were the only ones they asked and were the only ones with more exotic looks. I am Swedish Half Indonesian/Half Swedish and my friend is French born in Madagascar and we are short and brown. We are nice and friendly and dress ""properly"" and really didn't do anything to warrant the reception man's behavior towards us. The girls in the restaurant were just doing what they have been asked to do but it was actually still really hurtful. You don't want to be faced with racism on your holiday. If you are ""white"" and preferably 40 or have children, they will treat you nicely and you will enjoy the place. If you are dark or in a mixed couple, I would recommend you to stay somewhere else!" -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg293919d951634r423386902TheBJHolidayLodgePattayaChonburiProvince.html,Date of stay: September 2016,Asia,Thailand,Chonburi Province,unknown,number one in racism .....,this hotel have good atmosphere and good price.but hotel dont accept middle eastern traveler specially Iranian..i think it is not good for this hotel.i hope manager of this hotel have good reason for this reaction. -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg293924d3478124r479328352GemBoutiqueHotelHanoi.html,Date of stay: April 2017,Asia,Vietnam,Hanoi,unknown,Racism toward hotel guests,"I'm a 20 year old law student from Sweden who has been traveling around asia with my two good friends. We have lived at many different hotels/hostels during these three months and have barely had a problem. Unfortunately this changed yesterday.So, we left some clothes for laundry at the reception of the hotel and when we got it back I noticed that my tshirt was completely discolored and the colour had loosened from it. I was, naturally, very sad so I went back to the reception in hope that something could be done to compensate me. I never thought I was going to get a full refund, but at least something since it was an expensive tshirt from Italy some might say it's stupid to bring such a shirt on this kind of travel, but how could I possibly predict that something like this would happen. Since I have been working with service myself I'm well aware that sometimes you have to deal with overly rude customers/guests. So I started the conversation politly and simply asked for help but I was met by an aggressive receptionist who was really rude. He was telling me that I was lying to get money and that I was wrong !!. He told me that it looked exactly like it did when I left it there, something he wouldn't know since I left it to a girl in the reception and not him. Also, they don't do the laundry theirselves. They leave it to another laundry service somewhere close to the hotel.But this isn't the worst part, the receptionist was openly racist towards me. He said things like ""you're a foreigner, not a local, you come and make trouble"" and now i'm qouting ""Don't come to vietnam. He accused me of lying so I could ""steal"" money from them!!I was left speachless, I had started the conversation nice and gentle and made it clear I didn't want to fight over a tshirt but obviously, something had to be done.I was met with open racism and accusations of lying. Even threatening me to call the police if I wouldn't get back to my room.I understand that sometimes tourist behave bad when they're out traveling, but that does not justify such a behaviour from the staff. I'm always nice since I know how frustrating it can be to stand on the other side of the story.I have sent an email to the hotel hoping that it will reach the person in charge so it wont happen anyone again." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg293989d611856r273963996BlackIrisHotelMadabaMadabaGovernorate.html,Date of stay: May 2015,Middle East,Jordan,Madaba Governorate,France,Uncomprehensible reaction : cultural misunderstanding or racism ,"I tried to stay at the Black Iris Hotel for my last day in Jordan after a 6day trip. We needed two rooms : one for my friend and me, and one for our local guide from Petra.At the beginning, a woman took care of us at the lobby, saying that two rooms were available. Then, the manager arrived while we were paying, but suddenly told us that there was only one room left for the two tourists, but that the guide had to go somewhere else !! ""No room for Arabs"" he said !!! We just had the exact same experience with the Mosaic Hotel a few minutes ago !!This was an unacceptable experience !! We had to try a third hotel, and again, our guide wasn't accepted ! I don't know if this way of managing a hotel is typical of Madaba, but to me, it was really a bitter experience.

The staff were rude and unhelpful, the manager was not just actively unhelpful but deliberately rude and racist against several of our party. The accommodation was poor and overcharged. Our whole experience was not just poor but actively dreadful. Additionally, there was open racism against black people and Japanese. One of our party was from Kenya and was called an animal by the staff, whilst another Japanese friend was almost attacked by the manager and was told that while the whites would be welcome, Japanese and Africans were not. All in all, this is a nasty place run by actively racist people and we would strongly recommend it is avoided. After one day we found a nice place in Ciqikou and moved out.

I did not expect to find it in Colombia and frankly was shocked to find it in spades at this hotel. The night manager was about as openly racist as anyone I have met in my life. As a white American visiting with a dark skinned friend, I feel a need to stand up for him and anyone else who is subject to such hideous behavior. It was downright insulting. As a result I, in good faith, could never recommend this place to anyone. I also felt like it was a bit of a tourist trap. Yes, the room is fine. The beds are fine. Breakfast was decent but it's very over priced for what you get. You pay for the location, but there are many other wonderful areas to visit in Medellin. And for a hotel that caters to tourists, particularly Americans many of the guests were Americans, they don't have even one person on staff who speaks any English. I speak Spanish so it isn't a problem for me, but for my friend, it was disconcerting. My personal advice Keep on moving. You can find a million places better than this one." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg297666d735551r430463740HotelHarasarHaveliBikanerBikanerDistrictRajasthan.html,Date of stay: October 2016,Asia,India,Rajasthan,unknown,Terrible experience in Harasar Haveli in Bikaner: Felt harassed and racism,"I'm going through a trip in Rajasthan, where everywhere I'm greeted by a smile. I believed that is the hospitality of Rajasthan, before I came to Harasar Haveli. Here in greeted by a shout and threat. There's a young staff named Saroj, who thinks he has the right to shout at and threat guests. Reason: I had booked a deluxe room 4 months back; but since I came from Jaisalmer, I came in the evening and I was given the most horrible room, at the back of ground floor. And I had requested to change the room. But, according to them, they are fully booked. So the staff shouted at me and threatened me. The room was so bad and poorly ventilated, that it looks like a cave even in broad daylight. One side windows open to the dining room, which definitely can never be opened. We still agreed to stay in the room. But, as soon as I entered the toilet, I saw strands of hair lying on the floor. The bath place was extremely dirty. I again went to the reception and requested them to change the room, but to deaf ears. They were so busy then chatting with foreigners. This is a place in India, where foreigners are given A class treatment and Indians receive horrible treatment. One staff came to check my toilet, picked up the hair and left. We stayed in the room for the next 45 mins, but no one came to clean the toilet.This place is the perfect example, where a wonderful building can be made a horrible experience just by rudeness and racist behaviour of the staff. I feel sorry for the owners. And warn all my fellow Indians to stay away from this place.Never believed Rajasthan hospitality can be this bad, before I experienced it myself." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg297666d735551r169387132HotelHarasarHaveliBikanerBikanerDistrictRajasthan.html,Date of stay: July 2013,Asia,India,Rajasthan,"New Delhi, India",Don't go here if you are an Indian,"I stayed with them for 2 nights and 3 days in July 2013. I liked the hotel because it was clean and beautiful. But the good things end here. The hotel staff is RUDE. They cater ONLY to foreigners so if you are an Indian get ready to taste racism in your very own country. Not only this, the staff accuses you of lying even when it is their fault. I do not think they know how to run a hotel.The last night, we had a train to catch. When we went for dinner, we asked the waiter how long will it take. He said 1015 minutes. We also requested him that we have a train to catch and if he can hurry this up. We waited for 35 minutes and there was no food so we decided to cancel the order and go to the train station. We informed the night manager and instead of rebuking his own staff he started shouting at us the guests!!. Had to threaten him that I am from the press to get him to shut up. NIGHTMARE!!I must admit though that the owner and his wife were rather courteous and they do not know of this incident where the staff was so rude to my colleague and me. But all the same.

He said the first night he only had a small room available, we should stay there the first night and tell him the next day what wed like to pay for it and if its too small we would be able to change the next day. So all seemed well, except the room was tiny and featured cigarette butts from the last guest. The next morning I went to see him to sort the price and fix the next night as well. When I saw the son the next morning his attitude towards me had changed. When I asked what he wanted for the small room he said 700 rupee, a ridiculous rippoff I paid 600 rupee for a much better room last year!I asked my friend to join the discussion, he came and the guesthouse owner father also turned up, in dark mood. What followed was racism and discrimination of the lowest kind. Amongst other things he told my friend that if he would be seen with me in public the police would arrest him. This incident truly shocked me. It was disgraceful, disrespectful, threatening discrimination by the guesthouse owner. We had done nothing wrong, we were respectful, quiet, clean, paying guests. It was simply my friends Indian origin that seemed to get up this guesthouse owners nose and he let us know that he was displeased by seeing a western woman befriended with an Indian man. A hotel owner should be able to leave discrimination aside. He should be able to keep his own moral convictions to himself and not openly attack his guests with verbal aggressiveness. I have now spent more than 14 months travelling in India and never encountered anything like this.

We had a Honeymoon Candlelight Dinner as part of our package, I am appalled by that dinner after being under lights and not even a single candle in sight the food was pathetic to say the least. We had to eat because there is not much options, it wasnt special at all, we were even tempted to go to the normal buffet The next encounter of sutle racism was on Wednesday night, guests were invited for a Cocktail meeting with Management, practically observed the management team that actually came to talk to us. Only the Spa Manager came to us and she made an effort to chat to other guests the rest of the manager didnt bother to come to us they just to other white guests and amongst themselves. Im a frequent traveler, traveled various countries and various hotels thought this would be a good honeymoon experience but the service at this hotel is not that great at all. What I can say is good is the rooms and the sea view only but when it comes to food and service this hotel would barely hold a 3 star rating.So if you are of color avoid this hotel by all means you would be ignored.

My other consultants room could not open and the manager would not assist and when we came home in the evening he could not get back into his room, the manager came back and provided the key to the room that he had locked up in his office, more racism and prejudice.

I booked several rooms here for 4 nights for my organization, which consists of myself and my wife, my partner and his fiance, and our Filipino employees. I am white, and my partner is Asian.We had MANY incidents of racism. My partner experienced it himself when he went to bring drinks to the beach where we were having a meeting and was told he couldn't bring them, and after some back and forth was allowed to, after the worker said, ""Oh, I thought you were Filipino"". He was also told he wasn't allowed on the beach after 6pm when everyone else is allowed there. This was told to him when he wanted to bring some glasses onto the beach. My employees received similar treatment, being told they could not do things that I was doing, such as moving some chairs so we could sit together as a group. One employee went to the spa and was ignored by the attendant. The second time she went in, it was at the same time as a group of Korean women, and then she was handed a towel. There were several incidents like this.In addition, I should note that one of my employees tripped and sprained her ankle when walking down to the beach. She went to the onsite clinic and was told to take an antiinflammatory. She is a trained nurse, and she knows that it wasn't handled properly. I had to go back to the clinic with her to get them to wrap a tensor bandage on her. So if you stay here, don't rely on their illtrained ""nurse"".We made a formal complaint about these issues to the hotel. They pretended to take us seriously and said they would investigate. They didn't. I received an email that denied any racism had taken place, and they ""basically had a briefing with all our team members and stress the importance on treating each and every guest equally. I can tell you that our team members doesnt have any preferential treatment to specific guest in the resort."" When we met with the management, one of the people told us privately that yes, Filipinos are racist against other Filipinos in situations like this. So not only did hotel deny that anything happened, they lied about the attitude of their employees. I spend over 12,000 at the ShangriLa Mactan to reward my employees for their hard work. The ShangriLa Mactan punished my employees for their reward.

However, the brand new Hotel, with an international brand like the Marriot, sure sounded initially the next Number 1, especially with the low prices, which are in place to beat the competition.But, it turned out 8 days of hell, I prefer the slightly older Transamerica, where it might not be so beautiful and new, however, they know how to run a hotel smoothly.The one with the booming mega phone:My first room change was when I realized that one side of the Hotel is faced towards the main street of Avenida Engenheiro Domingos Ferreira. During the work hours there is constant loud noise from a mega phone that is set on automatic, constantly hammering sales messages, it keeps on repeating itself again and again for hours on end, day in day out, enough to drive you totally crazy!The day of floods:The second room change occurred when the hotel was seriously affected by the heavy rains, the hotels restaurant and ground floor became waterlogged, the gym was closed and the rooms on the 9th floor, where I happened to be have all become waterlogged, due to the rains. Obviously, something is seriously wrong, when it rains inside the 9th floor of your 45 star hotel room, see pics. Taking into account that this is a new building, its not hard to guess that there are some serious structural problems, that they have to cope with.The day of heat:Recife, not only had heavy rains, it had some seriously stifling hot weather too and the air conditioning system was suddenly out of service for an entire day. The room temperatures reached a colossal 35 degrees, slightly hard to do anything in such heat. After some begging I got a fan from Cris front desk, who tried against all odds to be as helpful as possible, she also offered compensation, free breakfast, which was nice. The fan alleviated the situation somewhat, but eventually, I actually had to leave the hotel for a few hours and come back at night. There were more air conditioning problems throughout our stay, the thermostats often didnt seem to work in the lobby and restaurant areas, where it got really cold to a degree where everyone was shivering. In the room too, the only way the thermostat actually worked was if you put the air con on auto mode, but if you set the temperature at low or high it will go below the temperature you set. I often set it at 24, but it went down to 19, unless I set the fan at auto. The hotel staff explained to me, that this is how it works, and only in this manner.The cold showers day:One day we woke up to a no hot water day, after many hours of maintenance work, we were advised that the hot water has finally returned. I was excited for just about one minute, as a shower in the simmering hot Recife, would have been pretty nice, but no, the water coming out of the taps looked like piss water, totally yellow, see pics. We were assured that the yellow waters, that look like its coming from a nuclear reactor, will disappear after a while, however, we actually wanted to disappear even faster than the off putting water color.The forgetful cook:Caio, is the nice guy who prepares omelettes on the spot at breakfast time, actually, it would have been a great service if we were not to take into account that he actually forgot to make my order twice. On two separate occasions he simply took an order and just totally forgot to prepare it. Maybe someone with a better memory, would be more suited for the job, not to mention his general demeanour which was all a bit haphazardly. You never knew if he understood you or not, mumbling under his breath some intangible words, which often left you more baffled than before he opened his mouth.The restaurant actually serves good food and is a fab facility and is quite a good substitute to the room service/mini bar, which they dont have. However, you have to eat there under freezing conditions, due to the air condition thermostat failing, and the wait time for food to arrive is terribly long, but the food is good, especially if you have an hour or two to killLousy Housekeeping:Rooms dont get cleaned automatically, we had to constantly bug them to come and clean the room, change towels, etc, as if it was some favour they do, nothing seemed to run smoothly in this place.Bad maintenance:Lights in the lifts were broken for a few days, all but one single bulb which was working. What hotel leaves all their lifts with one small light, as if you are in a lift to a prison cell, for god sake, who runs this place, how simple is it to change a blooming light bulbOn top of that the lifts are badly designed, you have to call each lift separately and there is no centralized system which coordinates all the lifts. Here some clever designer, made it in a way that you have to decide which lift is best for you and call it, or press on each lift separately to call them all and see which is the quickest, totally and utterly ridicules. On top of that the lifts to the car park, really look like they have never been prepared for proper public use, see pic. It is unbelievable that a hotel of this calibre have these kind of lifts to their car park. Yeah, they have some excuse, that the car park even though part and parcel of the hotel building is run by an external firm, however, that is a weak and unacceptable excuse!!Bad Management:I had two bookings, one for a the first few days and then for more days, they closed my first booking, took the liberty and charged my credit card without even giving me a breakdown of charges or telling me for that matter, only after I asked for it, they said, ohh it was taken off your card. How nice, which hotel charges your credit card without giving you before a breakdown of charges, thats kinda basic, I would have thought.Racism in the Marriot:I came in with my girlfriend one evening and we were basically verbally attacked by the reception desk girl Kylyandra. She kinda yelled across rudely to us, as we were walking past, trying to find out, if my girlfriend is registered, showing that she is suspicious that I am bringing in a hooker into the hotel. This is after staying in the hotel with my girlfriend for an entire week, I initially arrived with her to the hotel when I first arrived and her name was registered on the booking from the first minute. I responded, well, check on your system and you will see shes registered and we walked right on to the lift. When we arrived to the lift, we were surprised to see that she chased us all the way down the corridor and demanded yet again to know, if shes registered. At this point, I got really angry with her, and I reminded her, that less than 60 seconds ago, when we walked past the reception desk she demanded the same information, yet what the hell is she doing chasing us to the lifts, with the exact same question. I said to her, you dont believe my previous answer, I think, I told you loud and clear, she is registered, go check on your system. I tried to understand what was not clear in my previous answer, I asked her to explain to me, what was not understood in my previous response, she had absolutely nothing to say for herself, no explanation or an apology and just went back to her place without uttering a single word.However, instead of receiving an apology, which would be kind of minimal, 5 minutes later we got a hotel staff member knocking on our door, together with none less than an armed security guard. I must stress, I have been travelling for nearly 3 years in Brazil, sleeping most nights in various hotels, never ever in my entire life has a security guard knocked on my door in a hotel room. They were demanding that we changed rooms still this same evening, since the day before the water was raining in to the room, due bad infrastructure of the hotel see above. Whilst it had dried up already and after a long day and evening out, we wanted just to go to sleep and see to it in the morning as there was nothing pressing at this moment in the evening, we didnt fancy packing up all our stuff so late in the evening. However, they insisted that we move rooms there and then. That was ordered by Kylyandra who was not too happy with my rightfully angry respond to her suspicions that my girlfriend is none other than a working girl.I walked in to this same hotel with a friend of mine, a white girl a good few times during my stay and she was not registered with the hotel and not a single word was ever uttered, no questions asked whatsoever. However, since my girlfriend is not white, the whole demeanour and attitude was as if shes some working girl, who needs to prove who she is before she can enter, whilst she was actually registered from day one. Clear and open racism which is not uncommon in Brazil, especially in these types of establishments, however I do except an international brand to have clear cut guidelines of who has the right to questions the identification of people who enter the hotel, and most importantly, guidelines as to when to be questioning peoples identities that apply to all and does not depend on the whim of some racist receptionist with a bias towards none whites." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg306996d1371229r194919863SevasHutsCabanasCanaconaSouthGoaDistrictGoa.html,Date of stay: February 2014,Asia,India,Goa,"Zurich, Switzerland",Racism and lies,"For ten years we have been staying 6 weeks in winter in Goa/ Palolem. Last year we invited two Indian! friends to Goa. We went to ""Sevas"" to book a bungalow for them. We were shown a quite nice, clean bungalow near the reception. We booked it for two nights and paid it in advance. When we arrived with our friends, the manager seemed to be unpleased because he obviously doesn't want Indian people in his resort. He put the two guys in a shabby hut in the farthest, darkest corner of the resort, just beside a building site with awful building noise during the whole day, pretending there were no other rooms free which was a lie, although we had already paid for a much nicer room. We felt betrayed, ashamed and were shocked about this racism.The Sevas calls itself an ""eccofriendly habitat"" ,which is completely ridiculous. They throw all their rubbish plastic bags, bottles, rotten vegetables and so on just behind their bungalows a huge stinking landfill which attracts vermin, even though there exists the possibility to have the garbage transported and disposed of against a fee of course. Somtimes they burn it. Can you imagine how burning plastic stinks For days on end toxic clouds of smoke pollute the air of the surrounding resorts with their foul smell.

In short, I found the food to be delicious, and the staff to be lovely. But I felt the lodge had an owner that was unpleasant at best and the lodge to have an uncomfortable feeling of racism. Some of the other guests we spoke with felt it, too. Our guide was seated separately from us, despite our asking multiple times if he could be seated with us. Once, we were told he had left, though we found out later he was there, but they had put him in the back room where the staff and guides eat. At dinner, he was seated with the other guides and staff at a table to the side, even though we had specifically asked to be seated with him. He told us that the same thing has happened to him at that hotel before.The room also had no phone, and the front desk shut down at some point during the night. We narrowly avoided a disaster when we arrived back late and no one was at the front desk, though they had our key locked inside. Luckily, we were able to track down someone in the kitchen cleaning up, but I'm not sure what we would have done otherwise.I would not stay here again, nor would I recommend it.

We arrived to the inn in the a.m. hours, tired from our long road trip.The blonde woman who assisted us at the front desk, Kory, told us that the cabin we rented online was not available. From the beginning, she looked disgusted and gave off a weird, distant vibe to both of us. As she feigned attempting to search for rooms on her computer multiple times, she kept lying repeating that nothing was available at their inn for us. And that we would have to sleep somewhere else. My boyfriend had never had a problem like that, so he called hotel.com's customer service. After a while of telling a hotel.com employee that we could not stay there, a room was magically made available, lol. She put us in that room not a cabin, like we had originally booked that she knew for sure had a front door that did not lock, and had been out of service for months. It was scary sleeping there. We put a chair by the handle and went to sleep. The next morning, we found out through talking to house keepers that many rooms in the inn were available, and the room we stayed at isn't supposed to be given to customers Racist Kory and the rest of the staff are aware of that. They also agreed with us that she is without a doubt racist and provides horrible service. They have complained before but nothing has been done. Its 2018, why has this known racist woman, Kory, not been fired yet We were made to feel like dirt. I've never been the victim of such a dirty, dehumanizing act of racism.

It's certainly not discouraged by the staff and management. One goes to hot springs, in general, to relax and unwind. My experience was a disaster.

It didn't stop there. I chose to walk away. He was looking for a fight. I didn't give him the opportunity. As it turns out, his threats did not end my horrible experience.I left and went straight to the front desk. The offensive patron was not removed. However, management did take swift action they cut my wristband which is used to regain entrance the same day. You see, if they give me a free pass a refund they feel I should not come back that day. I didn't end up getting that free pass. Do not expect management to manage threatening situations at all, in fact. They're more concerned about ensuring you don't come back. In truth all that kept me coming back was convenience. I'm a local. And I have friends. And they do too! Violent racism in these days, whether physical or verbal, should not be dismissed so quickly so as to ensure that you comply with some ridiculous policy and further offend your customer just to make a buck.

But, there is no staff or lobby. You book privately with condo owners. While there for a week, we had 2 overnight fire alarms that we guess were false alarms because no one told us anything and there simply was no one to ask. One was at 2:303:00 AM, the other around 11 pm. Kind of scary considering we weren't familiar with the facility. This is an old facility, dated. We aren't very familiar with Daytona, but it seemed in a rough part of town with alot of the cheap 35/day hotels directly across from it. The people roaming around those areas didn't seem to be tourists at all but residing in those hotels. There is also public beach access and parking directly on one side of the condo. If you are unlucky enough to have a window on that side, you will hear anyone and everyone who pulls in there overnight. The pool was out of service for 2 days, we didn't know about this in advance. Very sad to report that our African American son experienced some racism from what I assume was another condo owner in addition to a security guard. We are a Caucasian family, but we have an AA son. The first night, as soon as we arrived, our AA son went down to the pool. My husband, myself and our younger son went down after we unpacked. He was just sitting in a pool chair with headphones listening to his mp3 player. We walked past him and were standing by the gate to go to the beach. A short while later, the security guard came to question him and ask him to leave. Interesting enough, he never said anything to us about leaving. The guard told him no one was to be in the pool area after 8pm. The rules posted did say the pool closed at dusk, but we'd just arrived and were just excited to check everything out and hadn't read the rules yet. Another day, our AA son went back to the condo ahead of us from the beach. Once he walked into the pool area to rinse off his feet, one of the condo owners actually approached him and asked for his room number and explained he wasn't supposed to be walking through there if he wasn't staying there. Who does that Our AA son is only 18 and not a thug looking kid at all! He had just graduated high school and the trip was a graduation gift. Thankfully, our son refused to give our room number and about the time we were walking up, pointed to us and said, ""that's my family."" Again, the man never said a word to us. But, our AA son didn't tell us until later what happened. Of course, this same condo owner was drinking it up with friends all day, their table was lined with coolers and the area where they were stunk of alcohol. Those same pool rules that our AA son seemed to violate on day 1 also say no food and drinks at the pool. So, only some rules apply to certain people. I wouldn't even let my kids swim that day because of that group drinking so much. Again, no one EVER approached my husband, myself or our younger son to ask us a single question during our stay. But, our AA son was questioned on 2 different occasions. That alone was enough to make us want to leave early. The only good part of staying here was the fact that our particular unit was oceanfront. Our owner took a little pride in his unit so while it was older and dated, the unit was decent. But, all the rest that I wrote above just sort of ruined the week for us." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg34345d272305r642061930IslandHouseKeyWestFloridaKeysFlorida.html,Date of stay: December 2018,United States,Florida FL,Florida Keys,unknown,"Come for the amenities, stay for the casual racism","My husband and I recently visited the Island House for the second time.

I took our my temporary ID issued by the state of Indiana, and she immediately said I cannot take that paper. Did I ask her why Since this was a legal document and I had even used at the airport. She said that she needed to scan the document. So I unfolded the documents and showed her the bar code. She then said, "" I am not taking this document because it's not a valid document."" I then told her that if she was not aware that this, in fact, is a legal document and unless she had a policy or a company handbook that prohibit this document, she could not turn me away. She immediately said, "" Well, you people are always providing illegal document."" Mind you, I took this very personal since I am Latino and I do not tolerate any type of racism. I immediately asked her to get a hold of her supervisor and to provide me with her name. She said she was not giving me my room until I provided her with a legal document. I continued to tell her that the temporary document was a legal document issued by the State of Indiana. She then said she was not calling her supervisor nor was going to give me her name. I had never in my entire life felt so disrespected and humiliated simply by the color of my skin. So of course, I told her that she picked on the wrong Latino because I am educated, know my rights, and I do not tolerate racism. She then continued to ignore me as I kept on asking about my room. Another guest walked in and asked what was going on, so I explained what happened and he said that he had checked in earlier with a temporary ID as well. So he went and got it from his room and showed it to her. So she said, "" I don't care what you showed earlier, I am not giving HIM his room until he provides me with a valid and legal document."" The other guest then said, ""I cannot believe you are doing this to him, you were present when the other front desk took my temporary ID. Are you racist or what is your deal with him"" I then thanked the gentleman for standing up for me but it was impossible to even talk to her. I waited for more than an hour before I got my room.

Since this is a very long journey we stopped for one day at Tarbes. Looking for relaxing places in the neigbourhood we decided to go to the high mountains, and specifically to Estaing, since it was said was one of the best small villages in France.So, after some driving in the mountains we arrived at Estaing at 4 p.m. The place was lovely so we decided to stop, have an ice cream, take a walking tour, and then decide wether we would stay for dinner or not. In the road we find a signal that said something like ""Snack pour un randonneur""; it was a nice caffe of a beautifull camping named Pyrnes Natura. We parked our old Saxo next to the wall of the caffe and went inside the caffe garden. We check the icecream menu outside and I said to my friend: I need to go to the bathroom, please wait here and then we'll ask for the icecream since she doesn't speak french. So I went inside the caffe. There were some clients chating friendly. I had to pass through them to the WC, I said ""Bonjour, excuse moi"", and I went. Someone who must have been the lady owner said ""Bonjour madame"" and I said ""Bonjour"" back. I rushed into the bathroom. When I was inside my friend phoned me. I was intrigued but I didn't answer since I was finish in no more than 2 minutes. I went outside of the WC, into the door of the bar, and saw her at the entrance of the garden, some 20 meters away. I called her and she said for me to come near her. Meanwhile a man came to me and asked me if I had been in the WC, in english. I said yes. The man said please go out. I was stuned and said ""Estce que je peux m'expliqu"" can I explain myself. And I said in french that yes, I've been to the WC and now was calling my friend to come and ask for the icecreams. The man asked me if I was going to buy icecreams and I said yes. Then he ordered me again to leave, three times, in a menacing way and phisically very near. I was apalled, never been so humiliated in all my 49 years of living.When I arrived near my friend she told me that he had already asked her, very insistently, what she was doing there in the caffe garden she said she was waiting for me in her bad english. The man asked where I was and she said I was inside. The man went inside, didn't saw me since I was in the bathroom, and came outside ordering her to leave.We are caucasian with a sun tan. We were dressed informally even though the guy was even more poorly dressed than we: training pants and tshirt half out of them; not sure if he was the owner or a security assistant but from the orders I would say he was the owner. We drive a very simple old car. We think that because of racist assumptions we were taken for thiefs or non consumer clients. This has spoiled our last day of hollidays.

His behavior would have easily caused any HR manager to relieve him at least for the day he treated a fellow employee the way he treated my girlfriend and I today. He was seriously questioning the accuracy of a newly issued New Mexico state ID today. Calling into question the height of my GF and I can only conclude his actions to be drawn on a basis of racism. Mind you, she had already stayed one night, however a disastrous 48minutes beyond the checkout time of 11AM had passed and when presented with the original credit card used to check in, he did would not accept it, I offered to pay with a corporate card, he wold not accept either; my name was not on the card though I have valid local ID. We offered cash however would need an additional 50.00 for a deposit. He indicated we would have fiveminutes to pack her room, FIVEMINUTES! I asked if she or I had done something wrong to other than her being 48minutes beyond check out; other than that, No. I asked if who the franchiser was and perhaps I we could see about getting even a little leniency to make a payment that he would accept bear in mind she had the same credit she checked in with at the ready AND I ever offered to pay the extra money so I could ""check in"" an use my corporate card he told me he was where the ""buck stopped"" and there is ""process"" to contacting the owners at which time I mentioned ""I used to broker the sale of hotel properties and I'm asking you to provide the name of that group"" he retorted without hesitating saying to my GF, ""That just got you kicked out"" ...... Having the money, her having stayed one night already; the only conclusion I can see why was behaving in a manor preventing her from staying another night is that he is a Latino and she is white. I am a Mexican and I can tell you, that is all I can conclude. Because if it was not racially based then, when I contact Motel 6 Corporate, The New Mexico Corporation and find the LLC that owns this property; it will have to be a complete failure to meet in the minimum objectives of selling rooms to viable, law abiding, clean and willing customers and he need to be completely relived of his duties. Otherwise, it will have to be something that needs to be heard in a court of law to address and possible racial motives. Not to mention the late check out as stated via Booking.com when the original reservation was made. This is not an ""when available"" feature either.

Most of the servant at the hotel were polite and friendly. The reason I give this perfect hotel 4 stars is racism. On a breakfast morning, one waiter showed racism and severe discrimination between western and eastern customers. No welcome juice as we started our table, but other western customers had.

They noted, from our booking, that we were on honeymoon and very generously placed a bottle of their own sparkling Blanc de Blanc and strawberries in the room for our arrival.The room was great, it was not large and Hilton'ish, it was a reasonable sized room decorated in local Tuscan style.We ate at the Tuscan restaurant, not the gourmet, the service was good and the food was simple and tasty.

I even heard the receptionist ask if I was African when the gate called to check my identity. I was appalled. When my European friend came to the gate, I watched as he was let in with no questions asked. I was shocked! A resort owned by foreign investors, providing a service that is supposed to be OPEN TO THE PUBLIC should not mistreat its hosts. My aunt, her two kids and brother were turned away from the gate despite a message being left with the reception. My family is well respected in Nairobi and watamu and we provide business to many enterprises including sending our relatives to the Sun Palm resort. Until this policy changes, I will avidly protest staying at this resort. I understand security is a concern, but making Africans treat each other this way is disgraceful and enforces a backward colonial mindset.

In brief this place supports prostitution, some of the girls also being of questionable age. The owner, Bianca, is happy to allow this and seemingly makes her money from it. Alongside this she openly treats her very good staff despicably and uses racist remarks towards them in the public areas.I would imagine her high ratings are mostly from her regular European tenants who love the freedom she allows while they exploit young girls and boys. Watching an old man pay off a young girl in reception whilst you eat your breakfast puts the place in perspective. I would advise potential customers to thoroughly read reviews as we should have done prior to booking. Even some of the higher ratings make the same complaints and the star ratings given don't seem to match up....For what it's worth, the rooms and facilities are as described. Basic, but nice enough for the price. Bedsheets were scratchy, but I guess they are well used! Hot and stuffy with only a fan. Fridge and cooking facilities are useful for more flexibility.We chose not to use the pool having seen at least two couples being 'intimate' in it. Fittingly they have a cocktail on the menu called Swimming pool with a mysterious 'white cream' addition...Despite her apparent friendly nature the owner Bianca loves to gossip about her guests. Within an hour we were told about the medical conditions of one of her guests and later once we decided to leave, she discussed it with every guest that came within earshot perhaps it's a surprise to her that some English people can understand German In the two days we were there we witnessed her shout at and abuse her staff on at least 3 occasions in the bar area, including using some strongly racist terms which I hoped in this day and age were not used. I do have to say the local staff were excellent, attentive, friendly and very helpful. They assisted in our poor attempts at learning Swahili, and all from the groundsmen, security and the waiters were happy and friendly throughout. Undeserving of the way they were treated. Please think twice before booking here and funding this place. It's 'quiet and out of the way location' are only good for one thing: exploitation of young and the less well off by dirty needy old men and possibly women who can't find affection without paying for it." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg776013d584292r528227892NautilusHotelBarbatiCorfuIonianIslands.html,Date of stay: September 2017,Europe,Greece,Ionian Islands,"London, United Kingdom","Lovely views, basic hotel, racism at its finest","Upon arrival The hotel Receptionist did not advise us that it will cost us 10 Euros to keep our personal belongings in the room safeRoom Very basic, only 3 channels work on the tv no English speaking channels, all German.

We planned to have couple of other friends too to join us there and have some food and beverages. But the lady at the entrace refused to let us in with an excuse that we had not made a prior reservation at the 'club'. Her racist attitude was so evident as she looked at us from top to bottom and simply nodded her head negatively. The club was empty, as i inquired with her if it was busy. As a hotelier, I am aware that signature or finedining restaurants do prefer to take prior reservations in our part of the world. But, since when have doha lounge bars started this policyInterestingly, this afternoon, I was chatting with one of my european colleagues who shared a similar incident where she felt sorry for four african ladies who were refused entry to Oxygene at La Cigale, while my colleague was allowed to enter.Atleast the hotel can come up with a better excuse without showing their racist attitude!" -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg294009d799409r301609177LaCigaleHotelDoha.html,Date of stay: August 2015,Middle East,Qatar,Doha,unknown,Racial Discrimination,I just have one query. Why you discriminated me because I am an Indian and did not allow me to enter your Hotel bar Skywalk on 11th Floor in your Hotel. I work for a reputed company Vodafone and I am completely aware of these type of discrimination.Your receptionist on 11th Floor gave me a reason that it is your hotel policy that only couples are allowed.

Location is good and convenient. Stored our luggage at no cost. These are basic services that are to be expected when staying at any BB accommodation.The owner does not live in the house and was not presented when we had questions and did not show up in the mornings as promised.I would suggest that travellers pay a little more to have a more pleasant experience such as reliable hot showers, hair dryers, strong wifi signal and staff to help out. I am disappointed that the Chilean owner questioned our interest and visit to the 'Human Rights and Memory museum' that explains the tragic Chilean history which is also the no 1 thing to do on TripAdvisor in Santiago. In fact, he was very discouraging about it. I would have recommended this place as a budget accommodation due to its location but his racist email to my wife shows the owner, Christian's true colours and reveals his disrespect for other cultures. He did not even have the courtesy to reply to the review on TripAdvisor but instead wrote a nasty personal email to my wife who had arranged our whole trip.Would NOT recommend this to any traveller." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg294305d5288217r269801454TravesiaBedBreakfastSantiagoSantiagoMetropolitanRegion.html,Date of stay: April 2015,South America,Chile,Santiago Metropolitan Region,unknown,Unpleasant and Abysmal,"Stayed at this BB in April 2015 during our visit to Santiago.Plus: Clean, decent room size and bed Nice location near restaurants and bars Ok value.Minus: Poor water pressure.

Taxis were organised promptly also. Our luggage was stored whilst we were away for a couple days also. Excellent location, close to landmarks, transport shops etc.THE NOT SO GOOD The property is an old and creaky guest house. It has it's own rustic charm but potential customers should be prepared for things like poor plumbing and limited hot water. Not a nice feeling stepping into the shower in the morning and being ankle deep in last nights cold water. For the price range however this seems to be the norm.Our host also stuffed up our reservations. Twice. Not all rooms in this property are equal, in fact the one we ended up with was quite claustrophobic and in my opinion not worth the 1015 usd discount that was offered. Breakfast was fairly basic tasty nonetheless. THE UGLYOur friendly host doesn't seem to respond well to constructive criticisms and unfortunately instead of responding to a post on tripadvisor, he resorted to contacting his last reviewer via her personal email to leave some fairly sarcastic, distasteful and discourteous remarks. To quote; ""...Thank you again for your input... as this helps me thrive in making my travelerssic happy and deal with Asian guests pretending to be Australian"" Now I may be taking this way out of context Christian, so I'll offer you the chance to explain these remarks publicly on Tripadvisor. The way I see it, despite the fact that we have paid you and left, this still falls under service. In this instance, you've failed yourself by resorting to such petty racist remarks.I don't doubt that other travellers have and will continue to have good experiences with your venue for as long as they don't try to offer any constructive criticisms. and as long as they're not Asian either" -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg294305d5288217r269593077TravesiaBedBreakfastSantiagoSantiagoMetropolitanRegion.html,Date of stay: April 2015,South America,Chile,Santiago Metropolitan Region,unknown,"Good, bad, and ugly","Good: Location is quite central and within 510 min walking distance to nice restaurants and bars. The house is quaint and the common areas are pleasantly decorated. the large rooms not the small rooms are good value for money. comfortable beds. owner initially quite helpful and friendly giving us a map of Santiago Bad: the small double bed rooms are tiny, with hardly enough space for two people to squeeze past each other and no ventilation in the bedroom itself. The bathroom is also tiny, and the shower floods the bathroom if you take a shower for more than 2 mins due to poor drainage. Owner overbooked rooms. On the first and second night one couple on our group ended up with the small room because the owner overbooked both nights. This happened yet again this time to me and my fianc on another night after coming back from Valparaiso even though we were assured that there would be the large room available for us. In fact, we had a booking elsewhere for that night and the owner encouraged us to cancel the other booking because he reasoned that it would be easier for us to leave our bags at Travesia only for us to discover that he had given our large room away to other travellers we ended up with the tiny room. cold showers if you are the last bedroom to use the shower. I understand that the house is old, which adds to the charm, but it would be nice to be warned rather than coming back to the hotel room on a chilly night and then taking a cold shower. smelly bathrooms with poor ventilation. Ugly: One of our group posted a reasonable and fair review on TripAdvisor with pros and cons. She then got a long and abusive email which ended with the rather racist paragraph ""Thank you again for your input as this helps me thrive in making my travelers happy and deal with Asian guests pretending to be Australian.""

I will try to give the most neutral comment.Hotel is not looking like the pictures. All furnitures and the building are much older. The location is good. It is just couple of minutes to central station. In our vacation we didn't use any public transportation and walked everywhere. Hotel is not close all of them but it is not a big city you can walk.Hotel was generally clean.There is no 1 big size bed, there are 2 of them connected and there is a gap between them. It is wring information if you see it is a king size bed.Windows are really old and wooden. They are not closing completely and because of that you can hear the noise of street. But in the night it was pretty silent.I have a insect phobia and when I saw the windows I needed to ask if they have a problem with insects. But our host was pretty sarcastic and asked where I am from after that became a little bit racist and said here is not Turkey.It is writing ""don't touch"" on air conditioner controller. It was hot inside and we asked our host if it can be cooler and he said ""it is not possible, we have automated system which is holding the coldness around 26 degrees, I can't change it even I want to""After that we said okay but in the night air conditioner was working whole night and inside was ice cold. Here a lot of people complain about it was not working. So I am thinking he did this on purpose.He was so rude and was not accepting any of his mistakes. I mean on internet it was writing wrong checkin time and in the paper which stays at room it was writing wrong check out time and we had some problems with them. He woke us up and said you have to check out. And when we show him the paper he said you should have check it online. But online page was already wrong too. All this comments about him are true. He is answering and blaming others but it is definitely not true.

The booking was for a double sized bed and we got two individual beds set together... The guy explained me that ""there are no double sized queen or king mattresses in Italy"", which is false. The automatic A/C doesn't work very well and it was off during the day so the room vas very hot! They also cancelled my reservation the morning after I arrived for a ""no show"" reason I believe they did this to avoid being reviewed, since they realized I was not pleased to be there.

Blankets are all ripped and old. Air conditioning didnt work for 4 nights due to them not having it on the correct settings for it to be cold! Very dirty and old fashioned.

They then stayed the night in her house and left a mess when they left. .of course I understand she was annoyed by this but to greet a group of people of a mixed nationalities was racist and really offended us, with two of us being this nationality.

I told her about what happened and how I did not think people that work in hospitality should behave like this and how unprofessional she was.

Stay well away! Very racist owner!,"I had booked three nights 15 to 18 February at Yale Kandy park hotel, Kandy, Sri Lanka. It was advertised as a five star hotel but it was more like abandoned half done construction site! We drove an hour up very tight unsafe roads in the mountain to get to the hotel this was not mentioned any where in the hotel description. Upon arrival we were greeted by the lost looking Sri Lankan workers they had no electricity at the hotel and asked us to sit and wait. We were very concerned for our driver as he had to drive back down the unlit mountain and it was getting dark. We asked him if we could see the rooms, however our standard room was too far away and there was no one to take us. At this point the hotel manager was getting angry and stressed, he started raising his voice and saying I have no time to deal with you, if you want just cancel and leave. He then walked away from us. We were shocked by his mannerism and unprofessionalism. This was very surprising as nothing had happened for him to be so rude. This is not how you greet your guests after climbing several unsafe roads. He was saying to us its the Sri Lankans fault as they are all against him and they are silly and stupid people and are giving him a very big headache all the time. All this time we were standing in darkness.We were told he doesnt have the two rooms we booked and paid for so we would need to stay in a room together with one king bed and two compact beds. The second room we had actually paid for was still under construction. He said that he had two other guests in the hotel and he couldnt give us that room. The state of the hotel was very appalling, we could not leave as by now it was dark and it was too dangerous to drive back down. We had no choice but to stay, non of us wanted to stay, we wanted to find another hotel with polite staff. We decided to spend one night and leave early the next morning. We informed we would stay one night only because he left us no choice.During this night we had no electricity for majority of the night our hot water finished after one girl had a shower and were unable to get hot water for the rest of the night as no electricity. When one person showered it flooded the whole bathroom, one sink was blocked and there were dead flies everywhere. The WiFi was cut and phone lines were also not working. We couldnt charge our phones or tablets, we couldnt communicate with anyone. This is not what you except from a five star hotel.The Sri Lankan workers were treated at such poor levels they kept apologising us to as we had to put up with such a horrible manager. At one point the manager yelled at his employee infront of us and two other guests which was awful to watch. He treated his staff with no respect and blamed them for everything.No one slept that night, we were just on edge the whole time, the fold out beds were so uncomfortable and room was full ridden with insects crawling and dead everywhere. As there was no electricity we had no air conditioning and you can imagine the humidity and heat is unbearable without air conditioning in February in Sri Lanka.We had no dinner that evening as the state of the kitchen was disgusting, the wonder trades illegally he purchased alcohol at very low prices and sells to his guests at triple the price with no license. It is unacceptable in this day and age to have such a hotel running with such a rude incompetent and racist manager. People cannot be treated with such disrespect.

Racist owner !,"First of all it is at the back of beyond, no taxi is willing to go there. When we reached, we were taken to a row of rooms...which were not a part of the main resort. The main resort was a twenty minutes steep uphill walk. If available, a vehicle was provided. One of our rooms had a stench, which the owner was well aware of. TV was not functioning. Nor the phones so we had no connection to the main building. Taps were dry, and we had to complain and then wait for someone to come and put on the water pump. Staff was sparse and difficult to locate, as we were lodged a distance away. Most parts of the ""resort"" were still under construction. There was no swimming pool the pictures of the infinity pool shown on the site, is only with the villa. There was one cook, with one stove, who also served as a waiter. This was definitely not a relaxed holiday that we envisaged. My daughter had posted a comment and review of our experience, to which we received an unexpected racial reaction and tweet from the owner against all Indians, and that he would ban allowing Indians to stay at his ""resort"", and that he had told Agoda and others to refuse Indian booking, as Indians are not welcome ! We informed Agoda, through whom we had made this booking, and surprisingly, they have done precious little about these racist comments, and still continue to support him instead of boycotting such a racist." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg293925d1995617r53840112496GuesthouseHoChiMinhCity.html,Date of stay: November 2017,Asia,Vietnam,Ho Chi Minh City,unknown,Racism !!!,Please read this comment.Yesterday i was with a group of friends.

The lady from the bar forbid to take another chair for our friend and said to her, she should leave! We stood up and offered one of our chairs to our friend and the staff said they don't serve her! We recognised, that not one asian person was allowed to sit in the first row. Every 'non western person' was given a seat inside or anywhere away from the street!

So we went across the street to a similar bar which is run by nicer people. 96 Bui Vien has a bad rep in Saigon due to the rude staff. There are also rumours of them being racist but I can't say I've ever experienced it.

They actually have the decency to not rip off foreigners. If you intend to sit there and sip on one drink that will only bring in a couple of cents to them, then yeah, you will probably be better off elsewhere where you will pay three times the price.

We were in the room for just a few minutes, so we went back to the front desk to ask him if we can get a refund... we just told us ""Take everything down and turn everything off""... so we ran to get our moms and kids out of there.

We invited a friend to go with us and after we got off the river we all decided to pick up some fast food and bring it back to the hotel room and eat before a friend took off back to san marcos. The room was very dingy and smelled like smoke even though it was suppose to be a smoke free room. We didnt mind so much because we just needed a quick place to crash on our way to visit friends.We didnt even make it through our burgers before we got a call from the front desk. On the phone was the manager of the hotel telling us we were being evicted for having a friend in the room. I tried to explain we were just having dinner and she was gonna leave, then he threatened to call the police on me before i was even done explaining this person wasnt going to be staying. He said we couldnt have any people in the room. My girlfriend and i both went down to the front desk to explain that we werent trying to take advantage of him and as it was already getting late we didnt want to have to get all of our stuff and find another hotel. The manager was extremely rude so we decided to just ask for our money back and we would be on our way. He just called the police and said we were threatening him. The police were even less helpful and just said that they had to evict us and we werent getting any money back because the manager wanted us to leave and since its a private property he could evict us whenever. We gathered our things and left, the people that run this business are extremely rude, disrespectful people and most probably filled up their hotel and kicked us out so they could sell the room twice that night. spend the extra couple dollars and get something that isnt a complete dive.

Instead of making reservations at a hotel, we decided to play it by ear, and after a nice dinner, we chose to stay at the Edelweiss hotel. It was adorable from the outside, with a German inspired exterior.We saw a banner out front that said they offered reduced rates of 49.95 for Sunday through Thursday. My husband went inside to ask how much it would be to stay on a Saturday night. The man told him it was 59.95, so my husband paid for the room. He asked the man what time we should check out the following day, and the man told him 11:00 A.M. We were in a nonsmoking room, and we were so excited to be away from home for an evening, we ignored the fact that the room reeked of cigarette smoke. We also overlooked the brown ooze coming out of the ice machine. I decided to take a shower, but I discovered that there wasn't any shampoo in the room. My husband and I walked to the office, about twenty feet from our door, and picked some up from the man at the desk. After our showers, we settled in and called it a night, falling asleep. We were hoping for a chance to get some rest and to sleep in the next morning. The broken air conditioner kept us up all night. At 8:30 A.M., we woke up to an unwelcome wakeup call, which we did not ask for. At 9:30 A.M., we were woken once again with a second wakeup call, which again, we did not ask for. At 10:30, we received a third call. This time, it was a woman asking if we were going to check out, or if we were going to stay another night. I told her we were going to be checking out. At 10:50 A.M., as I was packing and changing, there was a violent, loud pounding on the door. I hid, half naked, in the bathroom doorway, afraid that they were just going to burst in. My husband answered the door. The man who had checked us in the previous night, was at the door. He asked my husband in a hostile tone, ""are you checking out today"" My husband replied, ""yea, yea, we're checking out at 11:00."" He shut the door, the man left, and we continued to get ready to leave. We started to wonder if it was daylight savings, but that was a few months ago!We packed up our Volvo, then walked to the office to check out. We wanted to ask if there was a reason we were rushed out of our room, and we wanted to let them know how uncomfortable the morning had been. When we reached the office, the man and a woman were behind the desk, talking with a customer. We were waiting for them to finish their conversation, but the man reached out and said ""thank you,"" indicating the key. My husband began to say what a horrible experience it was, and I asked them, ""is there any particular reason we were rushed out of our hotel room this morning"" They said yes, because we had received a discounted rate, checkout was 10:30. We told them that we were not informed of this the night before, and that we in fact were not even informed it was a discounted rate. My husband asked them that if they rent a room at a discount, does that also mean they give the discount rate service Astonishingly, they replied ""yes."" In a furious tone, the woman said, ""that is why we have the discounted rate, for people like you."" The man then added, ""you people don't even have shampoo to wash your hair."" One of them also told us we were uneducated, to which I replied, ""I beg your pardon"" The insults were totally unprevoked. My husband and I were flabbergasted, and he was furious. He pushed their paper sign off the edge of the counter, and walked out of the office. The woman told me, ""this is the kind of person you're with."" As if I married a lower class of person. Maybe she thought a white woman shouldn't be married to a Mexican man. I asked how we were supposed to know we were supposed to check out early, when we didn't even know we had received a discount rate. The woman told me to leave, and said they didn't want ""our kind"" there anyway. I was dumbfounded, and for the second time, I asked her, ""I beg your pardon"" She told me to leave again, and I walked out of the office.My husband and I got into our car, and decided to stop in at the office to ask for a business card so we could call the appropriate authorities and report this heinous treatment. We decided I should go in, since my husband was in a more agitated state than I. The man was outside at this point, and asked me where I was going. I said I wanted a business card, walked past him to the inside, and spoke to the woman. She gave me a card, and pointed at a sign. She had to turn it around, but on the back, it said, ""discount rate checkout 10:30."" I asked her how we were supposed to know that, since we obviously didn't even know we had a discounted rate, and because there were about eight other signs on the desk. I wasn't even sure the sign was facing the right direction the night before. She simply told me in aggressive tone, ""LEAVE.""As I left the office, I saw that the man had approached the Volvo, and was antagonizing my husband through the window. The man was saying ""oh, well then what school did YOU go to"" I got in the car, and my husband was considering getting out to talk to the man, with one foot out of the car, shouting back at the man. My husband was defending himself, and only getting angrier. The man said he was going to call the police, for what reason I do not know. I told my husband just to forget it, so he sat down and we drove away. Contrary to these people's beliefs, my husband and I are educated and well spoken. I am a fashion designer, renowned world wide, and my husband is a highly successful business owner. I went to college for art at one of the top schools in the nation. We don't look like clean cut, trendy dressers. I have a nose ring, and he has an eyebrow ring. We are what I can only describe as ""alternative."" Regardless of these facts, and even if we had never been to school in our lives, or if we looked like we stepped out of the gutter, we should have been treated with respect, and we should have been allowed our dignity. We paid for a service, and we were treated horribly. These people were racist, classist, and rude, with no reason to hand out such treatment, to anyone of any race, of any class, with any level of education.

I have stayed in a lot of hotels all around the world and the Atlas Almohades is by far the worst I have ever experienced.The receptionist was racist and xenophobic and made it clear he did not want to serve my nationality. Whilst asking for directions he would actually just turn walkaway, preferring to help customers who were obviously 'more local'. I've never seen anything like it. He became aware that I had found out his name so I could complain to management. Whilst I was getting directions from the very helpful concierge, this receptionist rudely interrupted and started shouting in my face ""what's the problem, what's the problem"" and then walked away laughing loudly. On arrival the receptionist failed to inform me about any of the facilities in the hotel such as the gym and the availability of breakfast in my room. The room itself had no hotel guide so I missed breakfast. The hotel is next to the beach and a lot of nightclubs which are open till gone 4am. The hotel also has a loud music bar downstairs and a nightclub upstairs. You will struggle to get any sleep here. Both bars are popular with prostitutes. I was hounded by one who wouldn't take no for an answer. The bar staff didn't care less and even allowed her to try to put a drink on my bill.My room had a wardrobe that was falling apart and unpainted plaster repairs across the ceiling. A lot of items in the room where either missing or broken, including the air conditioning. The bed sheets where worn and thin and did not fit the bed. Meaning they would come off the bed in the night leaving me sleeping on a bare stained mattress.I did get breakfast on my second day. I was glad I missed it the first day. The only thing that was edible was some croissants.Whilst at this hotel I emailed both the group head office and hotel manager and emailed them again on returning home.

It has been close to a year since I visited this property with my husband and still the bad memories cease to settle. We had been very excited about our visit to Paris. My husband was visiting the University and I was tagging along. This property is about an hour away from central Paris and one needs to hop across a bus and a train at least to reach the destination... frankly, I wasnt too bothered about this.Rules of feedback tell me that I should cite good things first... We liked the property. In that season, with the colors beginning to show it was pretty and tidy. The room cleaning staff was good but the reception and cafetaria staff sucks, to say the least. The wifi worked well and the technical staff at the hotel were cooperative.I had a special meal requirement and was carrying my food packets that I needed to warm before I have my meal. For all the 5 days we stayed there, I struggled to get the staff to get me to warm the packets since there was no microwave in the room. The lady at the reception, who was too quick when I asked her to furnish my bill, said she didnt understand English so couldnt help. The cafetaria folks, obviously cared more about people who were dining in, and kept me waiting for more than half an hour in my pyjamas at the dining area before I gave up and stormed out. Ultimately, it was the electric kettle in the room, which I used to warm the packets... I still get goosebumps in anger and disgust when I recall this experience. The only saving grace was a gentleman called Jihed I think who was very courteous and helpful, but his shifts never really matched the time when I needed help.I hadnt heard notsogreat things about French hospitality and this hotel tried its best to prove the point. Our next stay in Paris was overnight at a small 2 star hotel near Garu de Nord and I would say it was 200x better in terms of warmth and hospitality than this 'luxury' property. I have stayed in another Novotel in Bangkok, and the experience was exquisite so I guess the problem was essentially with the staff.

I purchased an ice cream cake as a surprise for the children and set up a little party in the hotel room for the children. Before I made the purchase of ice cream cake I called the hotel and spoke to Wendy and she stated that she could hold the ice cream cake in the freezer for the children until I was ready to get the cake. That was the only discussion that we had regarding this cake. My family and I were in the pool and the manager Stephanie burst through the door with a side kick employee and Stephanie put her hand in the air and said there is no food allowed in the pool and we looked at her and said what are you talking about we don't have any food here and she said someone told me that you were going to have a cake in here and I said well someone told you wrong. Stephanie said I am the manager here and I run this hotel. Stephanie did not walk in and ask us any questions she just walked in and was very rude and racist we were the only AfricanAmericans in there in the pool she was a Caucasian woman and she was very disrespectful in front of 5 little children and 5 adults. We were even supposed to stay an additional day. However we checked out of the hotel a day early, we did not feel welcomed or comfortable at that hotel at all. I immediately got out of the pool and went to grab the ice cream cake because I was totally disgusted by the service from Stephanie, a manager who was supposed to set an example and be a professional. When Stephanie went to get the cake she gave it to me and said she doesn't know why I was so upset. I informed her that her actions were rude and unprofessional. I took the cake and told her to have a good day. No one ever mentioned having food in the pool or in that area at all that was not the plan and that was never even talked about with Wendy so I don't know where she received that information. This was supposed to be family fun time and Stephanie came right in and ruined it with her racist attitude. My family and I will never stay at this property again.

To begin with the hotel room and beds are equivalent to a motel room in decoration and comfort, but our rom had a strange smell in it as well. However, the WORST part of the hotel experience was the staff. While staying at the hotel I saw a group of Asians checking in. As they talked to each other in their native language in the lobby two hotel staff pointed at and laughed at them behind their backs. My husband and I are also Asian and experienced some of the most indifferent interactions with the hotel staff that we have ever experienced. Later that night my husband and I got food poisoning from the hotel wings, which an employee later told us we should never eat. We asked the hotel if we could have a late checkout because of being sick from their food, but no one with authority to make that decision was in the hotel. We left the hotel at 3:00 am because of how sick we were from their food and how unhelpful the staff was. Staff did not even apologize for our sickness nor help us with our bags as we left. When calling the hotel to discuss the food poisoning and racially prejudice behavior of their employees management was indifferent.

He was not particularly welcoming, but we ignored this, as my partner and I were not going this man spoil our holiday. When we made our way down to our room, we noticed that the door had been left open to let the room air. We quickly unloaded our belongings into the room, and then went out for the evening.Upon returning to the Motel around 9.00pm, we went into our room, and noticed a very unpleasant smell in the room. We realised that as it was a very cold Hamilton evening, that once we turned the heater on, there would be little escape from this smell.My partner tried to contact the office by telephone, but after 4 attempts, decided to walk down to reception, to see if there was another room available.Speaking with the owner / manager person who had checked us in, this person rapidly got agitated and agressive saying that he had Indians in the room room the night before, and making very unkind, derogatory remarks about an entire race.We explained that we would be unable to sleep in this room, and that we wanted another room. We were told rather agressively, that he did not like my race either, and if he had know what race I was over the telephone, he would not have take my reservation. He then came out from behind his counter, and tried to physically intimidate my partner. I actually thought this man was going to hit my partner.At this point we told him that we were leaving, and I was relieved that he had not asked for my credit card details upon check in. As we walked away, he continued to shout racist and derogatory comments at us in front of other guests. This was a totally humiliating experience, which I hope no other person ever has to endure. I like to believe that as human beings, that we have evolved as a race, and that this primative dirty little man is not representative of Hamilton Moteliers in general. My only advice is that if you are not happy in what you are doing, that take a step towards making a change.

Rooms are very average with very little space to move around. There are hardly any facilities near the hotel. And honestly, there isn't anything great about this hotel.But what ticked me off the most was the racist behavior of the staff. I am proudly an Indian origin, however my skin color has nothing to do with the way I should be treated.Our breakfast was served in a dingy part of the rooftop restaurant away from where the other guests were being served. When I walked into the regular dining area, I was treated disrespectfully and was told ""you are Indian, you go sit there"", pointing at the separate place where our group breakfast was laid out. And the breakfast served to our group was ALL LEFTOVERS and did not even include the full breakfast buffet which the other hotel guests were served. We had practically nothing to eat in the 'So called"" buffet served to us. The fruits were clearly leftover cuts from the previous day dumped in one big bowl, the bread was stale, the eggs were made and kept there since hours and not even heated. There was no coffee, no cereal, nothing. There was practically nothing to eat. So the racism was from what they served us for breakfast to how we were treated. I wasn't the only one who was told harshly to go away from the regular dining area. My father and a few more travelers from our group were told the same thing as well with a specific mention to ""YOU ARE INDIAN, YOU GO SIT THERE"". These were the words of the serving staff AND the CHEF who came out to assist the serving staff in verbally assaulting us treating us disrespectfully.Of course it did not end here. A complaint at the front desk got us regular breakfast the other day, but with no different treatment. They had harsh facial expressions, didn't care, and were not at all apologetic. In fact the entire staff of the hotel behaved like it was their right to treat us that way, including the front desk. The manager of the hotel did not even come forward with an apology in spite of asking to speak to him.The front desk said they would have a meeting, but said they know their staff wouldn't do anything like that. Even when we left, no apologies and no remorse.Sad sad sad to see this at a Ramada Group Hotel.We talk of equality over the globe, and here skin color gives such people the right to treat another badly. Haha! Not sure if these people have even gotten out of their small town so see what the concept of the ""World"" is.Horrible experience from check in to rooms to to food to check out." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg190445d2151518r593595289HotelRamadaInnsbruckTivoliInnsbruckTirolAustrianAlps.html,Date of stay: July 2018,Europe,Austria,Austrian Alps,unknown,Not so good.

The girls presented their debit card, but the hotel refused it saying it had to be a credit card. Then they escorted the girls by security to the front gate and deposited them on the street at 11:00pm. NEVER GO TO THIS HOTEL! Was it because they were black I think so. They could have taken the deposit on the debit card, let the girls into their room and sorted in the morning. Today I called the hotel. They told me ""too bad"". I told them I would write them a very bad review and also get an attorney. He said ""Do it!"" I spoke to Edward. A very bad man. It was by sheer luck, that I live not only in Costa Rica, but close to the Villa Sol. I have stayed their in the past when we were building our house. It was dirty and the service was awful.

For the past 8 years on travel, we have insisted on staying at a Hilton Hotel. But, this experience at Double Tree by Hilton LA Rosemead was devastating. Let's start with an AsianAmerican staff at front desk. He was very rude to my husband and I. A bottle of opened wine was found under the mattress, and then I realized that the housekeeper didn't change a clean sheet before we move in. However, this guy didn't really seem to care and act as if we were bothering him, he even said: ""You stayed here four nights and just found it this morning Why you guys move the mattress"" We were shocked by his astonishing response. The real issue is there is a bottle of opened wine in the bed, is the housekeeper didnt clean our room carefully. If my husband didn't drop his phone under the headboard we wouldn't be able to see the wine in the bed. Also we wouldn't know the fact that they didn't change a clean sheet before we move in. If we didn't happen to see the wine, Im pretty sure it will be there like forever.There was a huge mosquito or maybe a spider in the bathroom during our stay. I don't know what is it. It is uncommon to see any worms in hotel but we see here and the size of this mosquito or spider is too huge, more than one inch. Each time when we returned to our room, there is always some trash, such as empty water bottles, left in the room. On the third day, I returned to hotel after my conference in downtown, the room hasnt been cleaned yet. The housekeeper finally came around 4:30 pm. We asked her to come back a few minutes later, but she never show up. No housekeeping at all on that day. We talked with the lady who is in charge of housekeeping in the hotel. She said it is normal for housekeeper comes late. It USUALLY happens. But it is allowable for housekeeper not show up at all at Hilton chainWe also spoke to the manager over the phone. He was not willing to help either. His first question to my husband was:"" when are you guys going back to China He never met us, how could he possibly judge we are going back to China after the trip Under this situation, I don't think as a manager in this hotel, should ask us any question like this. Should he apologize for the dereliction of duty of housekeepers first However, the manager threatened me:"" you can tell everyone in the hotel you found a bottle of opened wine in the bed, he doesn't really care. "" The way he is talking is so arrogant, I can't believe this is how a manager in Hilton family communicate to his guests.So far weve been waiting here for almost 2 hours, nobody in this hotel is willing to help. I booked my trip with Expedia, customer service contacted them quite a few times but most of time they just ignore it. I realized they are not going to solve the issue and decided to end the conversation with them and checked out. What's even worse, we saw an additional 250 charge for room damage. The front desk said the housekeeper reported on 17th because of smoke, the second day since we moved in. However, no one ever said anything about the charge until we check out. What is the duty of housekeeper The duty of housekeeper in this hotel is no longer about keeping the room clean but looking for any evidence in the room that can charge client's additional money, therefore the hotel can get a quick revenue boost at our expense. Think about this, if the housekeeper was able to find any tiny evidence of smoke, why can't she see the wine in the bed, mosquito in the bathroom and empty water bottles in the room What's more, we were charged 31 for a movie which I believe it should be 19.99 plus tax. The California tax for a movie is 50 I feel doubletree in Rosemead is trying to make some extra money from us. Even though most of staffs here are AsianAmerican, unfortunately they are extremely unfriendly to Asian guests. This is the first time that we are being mistreated and look down by hotel staffs and manager. The front desk, especially the manager and the other guy I mentioned above, discriminate against us. Are they doing this because they thought we are tourists Are they doing this frequently to other tourists already Think about managers question: When are you going back to China You can tell anyone in the hotel you find wine in the bed, I dont care. Most tourists have no place to complain about, is that means their feelings are no more important to Hilton Family This is how the doubletree management team in Rosemead is taking care of the guests. Until now, nobody gives us any explanation for all of these and apology. My husband and I travel often and we stay with Hilton Family, but we really spend a miserable stay at doubletree in Rosemead LA.In the end, I want to clarify it really not about where we come from, what color we are, or who we are, we paid the money, so we deserve equal treatment and respect. Each client is the reason why you still have the job. Maybe you don't care about losing us, losing one customer, but think about this, how many clients have you lost in the past few years and how many clients you are going to lose in the future because of poor management" -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg2334950d7297795r632101360MagicWorldPalolemPalolemCanaconaSouthGoaDistrictGoa.html,Date of stay: November 2018,Asia,India,Goa,unknown,RACIST STAFF,"Terrible experience at this restaurant.

I did not, however, cancel it as I figured if he would not refund my night stay, no way was I going to let him make money on another booking. Well he did not like that. Yelled at me when I checked in following night. Also yelled at me because I tried to help young Korean woman who was attempting to check in ahead of me. She was alone, crying, and using an app to try and communicate. She was early 20s and so in over her head. He told me he did not appreciate that I did not cancel night before and that my help was not wanted with this young lady. Really I am a mom of daughters. I would hope that someone would try to console and reassure them if they had problem. The room was TINY not that we needed large room but not even space to open travel size suitcases. And like previous reviews stated toiletries and toilet paper left much to be desired. Next day upon check out was told again that my help was not appreciated and I was a ""typical American"" and to go back to TRUMPLAND!!!Quite honestly this host was by far the rudest I have ever encountered in my 50 years and the most racist.

This is really disappointing .. unprofessional and very racial !! I understand to put restrictions for swimming suits materials for safety reasons through pictures or so ..

Below are my reasons:1. The hotel is really far from the beach. You need to go with a car. Even the nice big pool is really far.2. I asked for a beach towel. I had a card from the hotel. The beach guy told me ""You came late. There are no more towels. Come tomorrow early""!!!!! No comment3. My wife's friend was wearing a diving suit a Hijab. The beach management asked her to get off the water. They told her she has to wear proper swimming suit. So what is a proper swimming suit A bikini A wetsuit was designed to get into the water. They don't like her covering her hair, this is called RACISM.4. The TV in the room is hanged in an unsafe position. My wife and I hit our heads hard. Even we had 2 visitors who had their heads hit because of the stupid position.5. At 12 pm I asked the reception to get me an extra pillow. He told me it's not possible because I am late. I have to ask in the morning.6. The next day in the evening, I wanted to pay so I check out the next day fast. The receptionist told me the finance guy left and I have to pay in the morning.7.

We had a very warm welcome and the room was good with pool view. Private beach with the decks is the definition of vacation for me any day and it's all well maintained here. People in the dining area were generally very helpful and throughout our stay we required some additional baby food to be made. They were very understanding and made all the baby food as we requested. Buffet had good varieties but the local food tasted better than the Continental they provided. It's a small resort and I wouldn't call it as a four star resort in terms of room and services. And what's with the racism. My husband and I were so amused at the way the dining staff neglected us when they were brownskinned themselves. We were not offered menu or coffee/tea at the table. It was like we were invisible when they promptly attended to white people. Lol. Some people do want to feel inferior based on skin color. You feel inferior all you want but don't think your customers are too. We are not staying for free in your hotel. I request the hotel management to educate the staff that no people are superior or inferior based on skin color or anything for that matter. It's high time to stop blaming white people for racism when they are generally very friendly with everyone. I would like to make a point that not all staff were acting weird but one or two, especially the ladies at the dining area. Other than that the stay was pleasant and I would like to thank all the kitchen staff who made sure to cook and provide baby food we asked for.

The location, the view and the dcor of the hotel were definitely fascinating. Not the staffs and the services though.By checking a 5star renowned hotel in the world, you know what youre anticipating of. However, Im sorry to say that W Barcelona was a real disappointment. Some of the staffs were indeed quite helpful, but some were not. I did not want to put it this way, but were not certain if thats because were Asians, were treated quite differently.When we had breakfast at the caf next to the lobby, the guests in front of us Westerners were led and arranged with seats; when its our turn, were left on our own and had to find a table ourselves. When we intended to sit at a table resided nearer to the pool, with the guests just left but not set yet, they asked us to move to another table set with less decent view. OK, thats fine. But when another group of Western guests showed up and did the same, the staff let them sit there and served them well! I had no intention to associate this with racism but honestly, its very frustrating. I have never confronted anything like this with hotels ranging from 1 to 5 stars, but this time, W showed me.Since it was our first time in Barcelona, we sought for tourists information at the front desk. On the first day, the lady wearing a pair of optics was really sincere and helpful, but not really the case when it came to the rest of them. Some of the staff tended to rush all the information as fast as they could, then stopped and stared at us, gave us a feeling let they just wanted us to leave ASAP and did not want to lend us a helping hand at all. I didnt expect services like this from a 5star hotel!! Far from professional.I will not recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for a 5star experience.

The guy with the mustache was racist, together with the other staff members. First, they said that they gave out our key cards already, which we hadnt received. We told them multiple times we didnt have key cards, however they ignored us and said that they dont care anymore since they gave out all the key cards as far as they know. We were like refugees, sitting along the hallway, waiting for them to provide us any key just to open the door to our assigned room. I had to go down and argue with the racist guy and asked him of any proof that they indeed released the key cards to us, which they did not have, thus he searched his drawer, and IT WAS JUST RIGHT THERE! He didnt even bother to apologize for the inconvenience we experienced just because he couldnt care less about us and didnt exactly tried looking for the cards. We waited for almost an hour!Second, we always had breakfast at the 5th floor as that was the common area where we can eat. There was a microwave there as well as a refrigerator. My friends and I just bought bubble milk tea and when we entered the hostel, just before we got to ride the elevator, this racist guy again stopped us and shouted NO! NO FOOD OR DRINKS UPSTAIRS! I then told him that we were going to the 5th floor, but he still said no. I was confused and embarrassed because there were other customers there. I asked him where we can stay and he said outside. I asked him again if we can stay inside because it was raining, but he didnt answer me nor even look at me. He spoke immediately to another customer without even answering my question. I was dumbfounded on how we were treated. He seemed nice and polite towards other customers, but not to us. Now, the funny thing is, we stayed inside and continued drinking our milk teas, until 2 other staff members came to us and apologized. They mentioned that they were still cleaning the 5th floor thats why we werent allowed to go up. They told us that we can go to the 5th floor now, and stay there. And so, we went up, and there we saw our other friends, whom we asked about the cleaning excuse that the staff members told us. And behold, it was not true at all. Our friends were there for more than an hour already and no cleaning happened. We were made to wait downstairs for almost an hour before they realized that we were actual customers that hate racism and are frustrated with their service.

I guarantee you that no person of African descent was involved in the rebranding that happened just a few years ago. The hotel name is one thing. The choice to use African caricatures is another, and recent. While I'm sure the hotel will say that it's not racist and that that's not the intent, this is a dangerously tonedeaf and typical of such a homogenous area white people telling people what is and isn't racist.If the hotel chooses to contact me, I prefer it to be by the staff member of African descent who was involved in the branding decision. Disappointing, but despite how wonderful this hotel is, I couldn't in good conscience stay here again.

The other manager at the Front Desk was good but no one wants to be treated like this.Needless to say, I have second thoughts about all of Best Western." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg187351d632569r426683367GHOTELhotellivingHannoverLowerSaxony.html,Date of stay: October 2016,Europe,Germany,Lower Saxony,unknown,Racist Staff,"Was staying here on a work trip, upon arrival I asked where i could fill up my water bottle only to be told ""this is a hotel, you'll have to buy a bottle from the bar"". the woman was shockingly rude to both myself and my staff all male brit's and between 25 and 30.The following German customer got a smiley warm welcome, her attitude as soon as I opened my mouth was disgusting!" -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg187351d632569r76429153GHOTELhotellivingHannoverLowerSaxony.html,Date of stay: August 2010,Europe,Germany,Lower Saxony,unknown,Rude service to nonGermans racist and disgustingly bad service,"I stayed at this hotel for six nights. The service from the male receptionist and brunette was disgustingly rude. The blond man at reception actually asked me: ""What is it NOW!!!!"" in a really rude and irritated way when I approached the counter to ask for help about something. I asked for directions to catch bus and tram to the city center, and he gave me incomplete instructions. He rattled them off like it was a speed contest and he left out a lot of necessary information. I ended up waiting 20 minutes waiting for a tram that never came because of the lousy instructions, and spent 15 euros on a taxi instead. Another time, I had to walk 30 minutes to get back to the hotel because of the lousy directions and I got lost. Getting information about anything from this receptionist was like getting blood from a stone. For example, how to use the internet in the lounge downstairs there is NO FREE INTERNET in the rooms 10 Euros an hour in the rooms. He told me I needed a LAN cord and he was so unhelpful he didn't tell me they supplied LAN cords to guests. I was about to go out and buy a LAN cord, he was so unkind and uninformative. He seemed to want to get rid of me as quickly as possible. Also the brasserie is terrible. I ordered pasta and water. I paid 2 euros for a tiny glass of probably tap water and she didn't even bring the bottle. It was not mineral water. Then the pasta dish was so salty and I got food poisoning from it abdominal cramps and diarrhea all night. If you are not a German or European, you will probably be given terrible treatment from the arrogant blond male receptionist and the stupid ditzy brunette female receptionist who couldn't even give me instructions on public transport to and from the city. The blond FEMALE receptionist was good though; she seemed the only one who wanted to help. WARNING: Don't go here unless you are a German and have a car. You will be treated like a leper for asking questions and will pay through the nose for something like a glass of water 2 euros for a small glass 60 mls of tap water and no bottle brought to the table.. . It made me really upset. Lost tons of money catching taxis and spent tons of time walking around lost trying to get back to the hotel. Only good thing about the hotel is the park setting including a lake with ducks which is good for guests with pets but be careful there is dog poo everywhere I almost sat down on dog poo when I sat down on the grass in the park." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg1192001d243099r589610573RheniaMykonosTourlosMykonosCycladesSouthAegean.html,Date of stay: June 2018,Europe,Greece,South Aegean,unknown,Rude staff read racist,"It would not be an exaggeration to say that this is the worst hotel I stayed at in my entire life. The only saving grace for this place was the port which is right across the street.From the minute we checked in, the lady at the reception desk seemed to be in a terrible mood. It was as if she was offended at the sight of us. Not easy to describe but we were definitely treated differently from other guests. To confirm our belief the same lady blatantly told our agent that she does not wish to have any Indians in the hotel! When we asked for towels, we were literally reprimanded to not dirty them by taking it to the beachP.S.we did not spoil or misuse any stuff. So that piece of statement was totally unnecessary Also, she was visibly irritated as we asked for fresh towels at 11:30 and the housekeeping staff wanted to give it at 12! I mean are we supposed to take shower at their convenience!!! Hahah terrible terrible terrible service. When we asked for a bottle of water to be sent to our room, it wasn't sent at all even after reminding twice or thrice. Apart from this horrendous experience, this hotel also does not have porter service or inroom dining service which is actually very important considering that it is located at a slight altitude thus making it uncomfortable if you are not in the best of health or have heavy luggage with you.When we asked for a glass of water at the breakfast buffet we were told very sternly that its chargeable. Ofcourse, no problem we will pay. Funnily, the same lady at the reception was very happily offered a glass of water to another guest even without asking because he looked tired.

Well let me start off by saying the beginning of our stay for Labor Day weekend started good, we were coming from LA and got there super early and was able to check in good the girl that checked us in was super nice and even helped us with downgrading one of the 10 rooms we had to a less expensive one per our request and got money back which was great!! On our 2nd day we went to the river so it was good but on our 3rd day the old lady watching over the pool was so rude to us she didn't want my daughter which is 18 to enter without an adult supervision, mind you she's 18 she is an adult well I got that taken care off besides the fact that the restrictions for the pool are beyond super stupid nothing at all like it says on their web site. That same night we decide to chill at a bar with live music LORI was super nice at the beginning, my nephew was dropping money like a real high roller in the tables as he comes across one he's playing good but a guy with a TRUMP hat sits in the table and tells the dealer that he will not play unless my nephew who is black was removed, yes removed so he could play, well unbelievably the dealer asks my nephew to remove himself from the table because he could not play anymore, after that they began to give him a hard time getting his money only because he was black, he told me what happened and he left upstairs upset, I decided to tell LORI our bartender what happened and ask who could I speak to she was cool and said oh my that should never happen then I mentioned he was black and her coolness dropped from a 10 to a 3 she said oh your nephew is black im sure he did something wrong to our dealer I said NO he didn't she kept saying yes he did they all act crazy sometimes, I said let me speak to your manager, I spoke to another man bartender and he right away took care of business and told me I will get you the manager ASAP because that's not tolerated here, I was sent to AUDREY the Pit Manager who was understanding and right away after mentioning my nephews name she knew who he was and had already crossed words with him after he had lost 2500 the first night, and did mentioned he had been betting a lot of money over the weekend and the dealer had no right to kick him off the table only because someone did not want him there, although Audrey was nice enough to hear us out and seemed she would take care of it, I didn't feel like a simple ""he can play anywhere he wants"" was what anyone in my nephews shoes would of wanted, mind you he had gotten 2 rooms there and spending money like a high roller at least an I'm sorry would of been good, after all she did say ""we do know he's betting high in our casino on every table"" main point: I will never stay here again they are RACIST RACIST RACIST we had 10 rooms there!" -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg1449629d4182486r216386030GrandAkcaOtelGazipasaTurkishMediterraneanCoast.html,Date of stay: July 2014,Europe,Turkey,Turkish Mediterranean Coast,unknown,"Very very very dissapointing, rude/racist staff.

Hotel has a strict check in policy and you agreed to that but yet reached the hotel at 7pm and expected a warm welcome, meals and service Hotel would have to pay for the staffs to stay back just because of your inadequate planningNow back to the real deal of Bessho Sasa, its an premium level for housing guests on the level 3 4 of the hotel Kaneyamaen.When we were there, the upper levels were still under refurbishment but little disruptions to us.The magnificent Kyo kaiseiki meals if not appears hurried courses was served at a speedy pace was perfectly done and presented. It does not make the serving any slower even if you choose the option of 6:30pm or 7pm thinking the staffs might want to finish off early and head home into the night. Thats the reason for a four star grading cos kaiseiki is meant to be enjoyed course after course at your own pace and. It dictated by the servers.Taiku performance at main lobby was met with enthusiasm drummers who arranged the guests seats, rearranged back, host the bingo game every single night. We were there for two nights and each performances were done with immaculate precisions and synchronisation. After the performance, Bessho Sasa guests were also given drink voucher to be enjoyed with a live piano recital at 9:10pm every night. That was unspoken by lots of reviews and management and its a welcoming gestures. Though we thought its only a one time coupons, the family were presented another set together with the breakfast vouchers each day. We thought thats good hospitality! Breakfast was briefed to be crowded at 0800 but only 50 occupancy in the large dining hall, choose the corner of the dining area for a majestic morning view of Mount Fuji! You can skipped Cha do or Japanese tea ceremony at the tea house cos all the ladies did was to plonk your ready made green tea and dessert on your table and much leave you alone. An wonderful experience in Kyoto make up for their lackluster efforts in the tea house. Wonderfully manicured Japanese zen garden and a nature river at the back makes a beautiful backdrops to your holidays pictures. Theres a unmentioned open air tea garden where you can take pictures with a nice giant umbrella and a bold red cover on the seats making the dark and dull greens and backdrops a standup for your Instagram worthy pictures.Requests to use the shuttle service was a Breeze at our own personalised manned hotel desk on the fourth level. Names were submitted and driver were identify you though this service was not used frequently by Japanese who drove to the hotel. If you do see a Japanese man, hes always smiling and treated you as a distinguished guest even to the extend of sending you off at the lift. He works only 10001900 though. Lounge with average Japanese vineyard white wine and superb sparkling Japanese wine were provided together with the yummy mt Fuji green tea cakes and snacks were catered.

I have never heard of any hotel in the world that closes checkin Guests travel from all over the world, how can we ensure no flight delays to arrive at the hotel by 6pm Japan timeWhen we arrived at the hotel, the receptionists were therefore really pissed at us for arriving past 6pm. They gave a black face despite our apologies although I still don't understand how any hotel can close checkin and did not respond with any courtesy. When we asked for extra amenities in the room as I am travelling with my baby, the ""butler"" showing us to the room rolled her eyes. I can't even believe this.Breakfast in the hotel was a terrible experience. We received racist treatment, just short of chasing us out of the hotel. When we left the hotel, the receptionists at the lobby couldn't be bothered to thank us and say goodbye. What a stuck up and racist hotel!

This review is so late because I have been trying to get an apology/response from the hotel management but this has not been acknowledged.My boyfriend and I have lived in Japan for over a year and can speak a fairly decent level of Japanese. Despite this, we received a hugely biased and racist level of customer service from some staff members. Yes, the hotel room was beautiful and the onsen looking over the sea was great, but it was completely not worth the expense considering my holiday ended with the receptionist making me cry in the public lobby, due to his lack of compasion and hideous service. For example, when we wanted to be served, the receptionist just threw his hand up at us and pulled a stern face an action similar that people usually use when communicating with their dogs. Yet, the following Japanese customers he was happy to serve with a smile.When we emailed the hotel about our experience , they would not acknowledge this at all. They stated they DO NOT have racist staff, and it was our problem for not understanding about Japanese food and culture. Clearly we do, and we usually experience fantastic customer service in Japan as the customer is always respected.

Maybe the manager needs some sort of training, and having been robbed in sa already i can see why some establishments aren't willing to have locals. but it has to be handled better." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg312578d2388558r366357985HomeBaseMelvilleJohannesburgGreaterJohannesburgGauteng.html,Date of stay: April 2016,Africa,South Africa,Gauteng,unknown,Racist treatment by manager,"This was my fourth stay at Homebase and I have always enjoyed it but my last stay wasn't so memorable. I checked in and I was immediately informed by Bruce the manager that they no longer take ""locals"" but because I had paid before I arrived I would be allowed to stay. My friend checked in as well and everything seemed to be okay, besides the fact that Bruce was very indifferent when it came to my friend and I, he hardly acknowledged our presence and made it a priority to monitor our interaction with the other staff. On the Tuesday of our stay as we were in the kitchen preparing to make supper for that evening, Bruce abruptly informed us that he needed to cook for other guests so we had better speed along our cooking, bear in mind that we had not even started cooking, we were still preparing to do so, he turned around and told Kristy the other receptionist that he had to eventually put his foot down. My friend and I were both in awe because we did not understand what he was referring to as the previous night we had cooked pasta which had taken us 45 minutes to prepare and we had cleaned up afterwards. Bruce took it a step further and came back into the kitchen and monitored our cooking, standing behind us, hands folded over his chest and waited for us to finish up whilst continuously sighing audibly. Bear in mind that my friend and I were gone as from 8 am till about 4:30 in the afternoon yet everytime we came back to the hostel we felt unwelcome. It got so bad that we started contemplating staying somewhere else because of Bruce's treatment towards us. What further upset me was the fact that he would monitor our interaction with the other black staff and make us feel guilty for merely conversing, another thing that really upset me was how he openly disregarded and humiliated the black staff at Melville, he would openly criticize Chenai in the presence of guests, he then also accused one of the cleaning staff of theft after the staff member submitted his resignation in which he attributed one of his reasons for leaving was Bruce. My friend and I were not the only people who complained about Bruce's racist treatment towards them, two other ladies that had checked into Melville a day before we were supposed to check out also complained about Bruce's racist behaviour and intolerance towards black people. I emailed the owner privately to inform her of this but she is yet to acknowledge my complaint. So if you are black and thinking of staying at Homebase I would suggest you don't as Bruce made it quite clear that he is not tolerant of black people, I would honestly suggest you look for somewhere else to stay as you will be quite unhappy and you will be made to feel as though you are a nuisance despite adhering to all the rules and settling your bill, Bruce and his equally racist son will make sure that your stay is horrible. Homebase Melville was such a better place when Vaughan and Jason were working there, the atmosphere has changed totally now that Bruce has become manager. To show his intolerance towards black people, he informed me that both my friend and I were barred from every staying at HomeBase and when I enquired as to why he could not give me a straight answer as I informed him that I had transgressed any of the rules at HomeBase nor were there any complaints from my fellow dormmates about me but he took it upon himself to forbid me from every stepping foot at HomeBase. This was quite a disheartening and saddening experience." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg312578d2388558r152369620HomeBaseMelvilleJohannesburgGreaterJohannesburgGauteng.html,Date of stay: January 2013,Africa,South Africa,Gauteng,unknown,"""Racism, Apartheid in 2013...Shame""","The place had the feel of a rehabilitation facility not that I have ever been. I stayed at the backpacker for 3 days. We paid our fees on time, and cleaned up after ourselves. As an African American I have had to ignore ignorance, but never on this level. Upon departure, my father asked if he could stay another night. I was positive it wasn't going to be a problem... surprise, surprise. The head manager claimed that the rooms were entirely booked, even though the place was entirely empty when we were packing. When I confronted the manager, he condescendingly drilled me with a series of personal questions. I was disgusted, angry and hurt. I talked to a gentlemen who later told me that they don't like to do business with ""blacks.""

Avoid!","My husband and i had initially booked 3 nights and were taken to a very small room. We asked to be shifted to a bigger room with additional cost as we were planning to stay for 2 more days. We were given a twin rin on 4 th floors. Beware there is no lift so had to carry the bags to the 4 th floor. We knew that it was a budget accommodation so i won't moan about the quality of the room and bathroom.This was the worst accommodation i have ever stayed in in last 3 months traveling through South East Asia or even other parts of Thailand. On the second day of my trip I gave the key to the reception before going out for the day. When returned back at night the guy at the reception was rude to me and blamed me for losing the key. The next day i went through the cctv footage on the receiption area to make sure whether i had or had not lost the key. The footage was not clear one way or the other. The guy at receiption at the time said that i must have dropped it as the key ring was quite lose. We agreed that he will cut a new set of keys. For days my husband had been complaing that he was being bitten by some insect am over his body. We thought that it was mosquito bites till i discovered bed bugs in the room the day before we were to check out. My husbsnd rang the reception to report about it and ask if they would give us another room. Twice the guy hung up on my husband and finally he sent the cleansers to check if there were any bed bugs. We were shifted into another room for our last night there. When we were trying to check out the same rude guy who is at the receiption at night asked us to pay 500 baht for the keys they already had that amount as deposit for the keys and 450 baht for our room which we had to pay. We told him very nicely that 500 baht is too much to cut a set of keys. We were ready to pay for the keys even though it was not proved that we lost the keys. He kept shouting that it's the hotel's policy. We again vertu nicely told him that it'snot fair that he wants us to pay 500 baht. He got very aggressive and started shouting and kept saying, ""you leave from here you swear word go back to India and not England"" my husband and I are both British of Indian origin.There are lots of accommodation available next to this hotel at similar price." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg187791d203076r606950460HolidayInnRomeEurParcoDeiMediciRomeLazio.html,Date of stay: August 2018,Europe,Italy,Lazio,unknown,Holiday Inn Rome Eur Parco Dei Medici,We stayed at Holiday Inn Rome Eur Parco Dei Medici and it was a group.

After several pleas they fixed this issue.On the first breakfast of the stay the coffee shop staff began frantically exclaiming how we were Indians and we were to sit outside. This was being shouted in the middle of the coffee shop in front of tons of people. When we asked meet the GM, the staff claimed we couldn't reach the gm because he was on his weekend off. Finally Monday came and we complained to our staff in the middle of our tour manager writing frantic emails. The GM promised that the issue had been taken care of. We entered the coffee shop to take our breakfast and again the racist frantic shouting of Indians needing to sit outside began. When we protested and informed the staff of our discussion with the GM they began to wave their hands and walk in other discussion being extremely polite to others but being extremely rude to any Indians. When we called the staff and complained about our dirty cup, she came to our table and banged the cup and saucer and came back later to bang a spoon.We visited the GM to complain about this reissue and claimed he had no control over the staff because they were outsourced. Then we guided him to the concerned staff and she outrightly refused to take responsibility of her job, again shouting. On a lot of insistence from the GM she pretended to rudely apologize, still shouting in the middle of the coffee shop as if it were some favor to us.On tweeting about this issue the IHG says they're unable to reach the staff and have left a message and they'll get back.

Room quality is good and so is bathroom. I dont really have much else good things to say about this hotel. Location is very poor. This hotel is only good for people who want to stay close to Fumicino Airport. If you are flying to Ciampino or any other airport, its quite difficult to get here. Let me tell you something more about location: there is no other restaurant nearby. So you end up eating at their restaurant which is very unreasonable food vs price, especially if you have children. They have this thing called ""children eat free"". I was visiting with my family. I asked for free children deal and the response was that I need to eat three/four course meal at 40/50 euros per head then children can eat for free. Like most other family person, I dont allocate this kind of price for each meal. Anyway, you end up buying adult main meal for children which is around 20 euros per head. Food was not tasty as well. Children menu only has two meal: spaghetti with tomato sauce and the other with mince pork. Breakfast is reasonable and children eat for free. However I didnt go after just one breakfast. Very few/small choices and boring food. I dont want to pay 16 euros per head for very limited choices of food.One of the main reason I chose this hotel is because of the swimming pools. They advertise by saying two swimming pools. I will call only one of them as mini swimming pool. Other one is about the size of a small fish pond. The mini pool was dirty and with cold water which I suppose is only good for FEW hours a year. The hotel I suppose would be good for business visitors and are visiting nearby engineering companies like tecnip etc. This is not suitable for family, nor it is suitable for rome sightseeing. I did not feel secure at this hotel. There was no safe at the room either. So I ended up taking my wallet at the sightseeing trip. There are pickpocketers everywhere and they target all new visitors. As I was a victim of crime at this visit, I ask you to be very careful. You are very likely to lose wallet at the metro. Police is not doing anything to help, which leads me to believe that some are profiteering from it as well, at least some of them. The path that leads from the hotel to the station is dark and isolated. I did not enjoy walking via this road after spending days in sightseeing. STaff is reasonable but needs some lessons in customer service, racial education etc. I am not going talk anymore in this topic.As a visitor of Rome for three times in last 15 years, I ask you to be near to city center. Toilets in the city are virtually non existent and the bar ones are very dirty etc. So if you stay in the inner city ones one can be a nearby hotel for comfort and also you can somewhat avoid using metro etc. I guarantee that you will enjoy your trip better. Also you have time to explore and eat at various bars / restaurants which offer good food at good price. Wifi is also badly advertise. Very poor signal." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg1498192d4521279r224174326MountainViewResortMindemoyaManitoulinIslandNortheasternOntarioOntario.html,Date of stay: August 2014,Canada,Ontario,Northeastern Ontario,unknown,"Enjoy Mountain View Resort's scenic beauty on Manitoulin Island, Ontario, Canada for a tranquil getaway!","My family and I love coming to Bob and Peggy Hildebrandts Mountain View Resort on beautiful Manitoulin Island every year! If you want to enjoy a restful vacation away from the trappings of technology and stressful city life, Bob and Peggys Mountain View Resort with its spectacular views of pristine Lake Manitou is the perfect remedy to help you unwind.I'd like to address some negative reviews left by three previous guests that won't likely be allowed to stay at the resort ever again I'm sure in which they accused Bob and Peggy of rudeness, racism, and unfair rules.The false accusation of rudeness: One guest stated that the Hildebrandts offered a fire pit on the resort's private beach, but then these guests were denied use of the fire pit. That was due to the fire ban that was being enforced on Manitoulin Island at that particular time due to extremely dry weather conditions that greatly increased the risk of fires spreading into the heavily wooded areas from sparks and flames. When there was a fire ban in place, Bob and Peggy had no choice but to comply with those regulations and it's disappointing that those particular guests had no consideration for the safety of their hosts, other guests, or islanders when Peggy very clearly and courteously explained the conditions of the fire ban to them.The false accusations of racism and unfair rules: Another guest accused Bob and Peggy of racism which is utterly petty nonsense since nothing could be further from the truth. The Hildebrandts enjoy having guests of all races, colours, and creeds and race has never been an issue. The key though is guests have to be respectful of the hosts and of other guests on the resort. Ive found that those that obsess about racism and accuse others of racism are often racists themselves. Its not racist to enforce a fire ban in place, to ask guests to not throw rocks in the lake or in the dock area, to ask guests particularly children to not stand in boats used by other guests, to ask guests to kindly sweep and tidy their cottages before leaving, and to maintain some tidiness outside of their cottages for the benefit of other guests and the hosts trying to attract additional renters.Apparently, these three guests and/or other members of their family became so obnoxious due to not being able to use the beach fire pit and having to comply with some simple rules that other cottage renting establishments ask of their guests that they repeatedly paced around the Hildebrandts home and rang their doorbell hundreds of times to harass and intimidate the Hildebrandt family which is not an intelligent or civilized way to behave, least of all when one is a guest on a resort.Sadly now and then, Bob and Peggy have had to put up with some very spoiled entitled guests that are unwilling to respect a few simple rules and instead they prefer to make false, wild, irrational accusations against their gracious hosts.So, to sum up, I highly recommend spending a week or more at Mountain View Resort which will certainly help you feel refreshed. Remember that respect is a twoway street and Bobby and Peggy are always willing to make their guests stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible as long as their guests' expectations are realistic. The Hildebrandts are wonderful people and their cottages are some of the cleanest and most comfortable ones available on Manitoulin Island. Cherish your time there and have fun like my family and I have every single year! Thank you so much, Bob, Peggy, and Katie! All the best from Jon Hammond." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg1498192d4521279r175182621MountainViewResortMindemoyaManitoulinIslandNortheasternOntarioOntario.html,Date of stay: August 2013,Canada,Ontario,Northeastern Ontario,unknown,Stay Away from ruining your vacation!!!,"Hello,I would like to let you know that our experience at mountain view resort was shocking.

The front desk is extremely prejudice and racist against Black people. My significant other was treated very distasteful. I came off the elevator and the lady at the front desk was speaking to two other white guests , I stepped outside and forgot something so I came back in and proceeded to the elevator she then said Where u going Me being totally confused I was like excuse me Im a guest here. So we went out and came back the lady at the front desk was in my room and went through my personal items. Then I had someone who was driving me come to pick us up and she told him he cannot wait in the lobby and to step outside. My significant other asked her what the problem was and she then said to him dont ask me anything!! At this point we were beyond confused. I went up to my room to get ready she then called the room and ask for someone to come to front desk immediately. My bf went down as I was still dressing he then calls me to say that her husband who works there as well said and Im quoting I dont care and check out immediately and that the lady at the front desk said my bf harassed her when my bf said to him well u have cameras check to see if I harassed her. He didnt care at all. I then came downstairs with my luggage and I put the key card on their desk the man then threw the key card at my bf head and proceeded to curse racist slurs at us. It was truly horrific and disturbing to see that in 2018 you cant even get peace of mind. I wont advise anyone to stay there. They are UNPROFESSIONAL and their service was in no way comforting. I dont like making things about race but I couldnt see any other reason why they would treat us so poorly and the racist comments made after he threw something at us makes it more so." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg319729d2486647r439210936HotelMoonlightPushkarPushkarAjmerDistrictRajasthan.html,Date of stay: November 2016,Asia,India,Rajasthan,unknown,Worst of the hotel a RACIST owner!

After travelling from Delhi to Pushkar for the entire day, we were excited to find the hotel and check in the room. To our surprise we were asked to remove our shoes and the owners brother ""Vikram the most rude person I have met in the hospitality trade"" banged the door on our face saying that we have to keep our hotel clean so stay out. He was busy with some disastrous incense sticks in the lobby which is dark and gloomy like any ""RED LIGHT AREA"". He said there is a booking but of the next day not the day we reached which was a blunder made by him and the owner. He wasted our 02 long hours in arguments and was not even apologetic. I looked for another hotel and asked him to offer a complementary dinner to us. The owner moron Joshi agreed and asked for our favourite dish to be prepared. We simple asked for good food and no such special arrangements to be made. After visiting the fair, we went for a dinner at his hotel and Vikram said ""Are the guests Indians or foreigners"" He dos not entertain Indians and is a racist..

Feels like young guys hanging out there, and financing their hanging out by barely managing a hostel.While I might have been there at the wrong day the staff who was there said he's only filling in once every two weeks, my experience in this hostel was awful. Short version, hostel staff unable to provide instruction for parking, then unable to get me past a racist parking guard.Long version. Across very little to no English, I finally got a room booked which was not ready yet, fair enough as it was before official checkin time. Then I tried to park next to the hostel, there is a very big city owned parking for 300yen/day, which is very cheap. The parking guard obviously doesn't like Gaijin, and just didn't want to let me enter. Lied to me and sent me around the block searching for another parking. I got the staff to translate, guard said I can't park here because it's election Sunday tomorrow, but there's another parking for the same price more lies. I drove around with the hostel guy in my car, he finally had to admit the guard lied. But he didn't want to confront him about it. I asked the hostel guy if he knew another parking which is not too expensive. No idea. Asked him if he can call anyone who knows. Stammering, but no action. So I finally let the hostel guy run, and parked the car for 100yen/20min, went to the hostel, talked to Japanese traveller who HAD parked his car there, but didn't want to talk to the parking guard either. I talked to the hostel guy again, he finally said all people usually park there, and that the parking is not guarded over night. So I parked there over the night. Left early. Came back for an errand, parked at the side of the road, the parking guard comes running, ""600 yen! Yesterday 300 yen! Today 300 yen!"", he obviously saw my car on the parking lot. So I tell him that he should let me in next time, and I will gladly pay then. He doesn't understand English, I don't understand Japanese. He's trying to keep me from leaving, by force. When I get in the car, slams the windows with his fist. He's also 2 heads shorter than me, 15 years older, wears glasses and is intellectually challenged. Can't hit that. His guard friends stand around, do nothing, and want to be elsewhere. So I open the window, try to shoo him off. At this point he's shouting ""No! No! No! 600 yen! No!"". Crazy. He starts grappling again. I've had enough, shake him off, drive off under blows against the windows and threats. I stop at a traffic light, think about it. It's 6 bucks, and he's got my licence plate. Are the police going to be fair to a foreigner I drive back, tell him what I think of him in my native language, and want to pay the 600 yen. He seems somewhat remorseful for completely losing his Japanese public face, leads me to the hostel, the guy in the hostel not the one the day before has obviously paid him the 600, so I now have to give HIM the 600. I tell him the story, but he has nothing to say, really. Obviously still too afraid to say anything that could lead to conflict with the parking guard. I understand you need to keep up Tatemae. But the parking guard didn't, and it was clear for everyone to see that he was just racist. To then NOT do ANYTHING about it if you're hostel staff and you have paying guests, that's not Tatemae, that's just cowardice and bad service." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg51177d225718r570152640EconoLodgeWorthingtonOhio.html,Date of stay: March 2018,United States,Ohio OH,Worthington,unknown,"Racist, Front Desk Clerk or General Manager! Hope Tina is not the owner","I stayed in this hotel last month. I booked for 3 nights under my employable discount. Once I got to the hotel ready to check in, I was ready for bed. I was told that I am not able to stay there because this has to be for BUSINESS ONLY!!! WHAT YOU are so wrong. I have stayed as a choice employee many times. In town and out of town. I am manager at a near by hotel.. She did not know that. I have a personal relationship with the owner of my hotel and Senior VP of my hotel. So called both of them very upset and explain what my issue was and they were also upset. As I explained how this front desk person treated me and this front desk persons reaction to my explaining that she is racist she the front desk person did not defend herself at all to say she was not racist. I called Choice and explained my issue. After 2 calls to choice and being the lobby standing up and being on hold while they try to convince this ignorant women to allow me to check in and tell her she is wrong for thinking that you can only use yor Choice employee discount if you are on business.. which I know she knows this already she allowed me to check in. By the way the front desk persons name is TINA!! Tina then cancelled my 2 other nights without even telling Choice or telling me. I had to asked her. Tina is very uneducated and unprofessional. Not to mention she was dressed like she was a person off the street with jeans and a loose tee shirt on. I will never recommend this hotel to a homeless person to stay. Id rather stay on the streets then to ever feel the way she made me feel on this day. I have never had racial contact in my face like it was on this day!!

I checked my reservation the day before I was supposed to check in and it had been cancelled for absolutely no reason. I booked another room, and upon arrival was told that I would not be allowed to check in because my friend is not a fellow Choice employee!! I have had many friends and family stay with me in my Choice employee discount rooms, I have NEVER been told I couldn't have a room because of the person I would be sharing it with. We ended up leaving and going to a Quality Inn down the road, where the front desk agent told us that they are notoriously racist people. My friend who was checking in with me is black. I fully believe we were denied a room because the awful woman working the front desk is a racist. I have NEVER encountered a staff of people so incompetent, unhelpful, and rude!!! DO NOT STAY HERE!

It's the worse customer service!! I felt so abused and violated of my human rights. Do not stay at this place. Because the owners running this place are absolutely racist. We arrived into Wellington Porirua this morning after a long 12 hour drive from up North. Unfortunately, where our church group was booked up the road was fully booked. So me and my partner were forced to find somewhere else to stay. Due to the large conference happening this weekend, it was hard to find something available. I called Belmont lodge, a man answered and sounded very polite on the phone. I asked for a room for two nights and two adults, so he then continued to reserve the room, I then added Im checking in my family to a different motel but we will be in shortly to finalise our reservation. We arrive to the motor lodge, and female her name was Suzie comes out of the office and says looking at me up and down, can I help you I say to her, yes I called about the room earlier. Out of no where with not even asking, she says we have rules of guests staying here, and I then say that's fine. My dad will be paying the room, and she says there's a bond. I continue to say, I will pay the bond. She goes on to say all this information, in the meantime my dad says his going up the road she abrupts says to me. She has decided to refuse my booking, and not allow us to stay. I then say why, she says because she has the right to refuse me and my partner staying there. I said to her in shock are you being racists. She says no, I then said, are you always this rude I will make a formal complaint. Not to mention I am heavily pregnant, and she just right denies me the room because of the way I look and the fact I said I would pay the room and bond separately. I said we want to stay here and you've just said you will not allow us. You must be rasict because you can't me an explanation of any sort to why you will not allow us to stay here. She led on to say, she wasn't racist but still couldn't explain why she refused the room. She made me feel like we couldn't afford the room, and we were hooligans and were out to ruin the room but yet we were only standing in the reception area waiting to confirm the booking. Racist or NOT, I felt violated and abused especially being someone of colour who is 6 months pregnant who just needed a room to sleep in to rest after a 12 hour drive. IT was only me and my partner in the car who needed a room as my parents and all our friends had booked out the Mana Motel. I couldn't believe in all my years, the treatment I was receiving from this lady who is the owner Suzie. She could NOT once give me a clear explanation why she refused my booking on the spot. I have witnesses to prove this behaviour of this lady. My parents couldn't believe the she denied me a booking considering how nice and calm I was being to her. NOT ONCE did I swear or yell at her. All I kept repeating was the truth ""why are you being rude, why are you being racist and why are you refusing a booking with no explanation""....To be honest, from looking at the other bad reviews of this lodge, is seems like a common factor in the bad reviews. She clearly has customer serivce issues. She shouldn't have a lodge in Poririua even she doesn't accept the kind of population Poririua has. My experience was the worse in all my years!!!!

While checking in she was very clear of the rules which is fine, mean while I advised that we were visiting Wellington to attend the NZ Womens Basketball Championship at Te Rauparaha Arena. At the end we enquired about how much it would be for a bigger room but was given the price and decided against it. We walked to our room, on the way grabbing two extra towels. 5mins later we had a knock at the door and she said ""We have a problem here, I don't believe there are only two people staying here"", we explained that indeed there were only two people staying in the room and our three family members who had come with us to check in already had accommodation in Stokes Valley and we were simply 'relaxing' before the game in two hours 3pm after walking and training from Wellington City with our luggage. She then questioned why we needed extra towels and we explained it was because we were going to have a swim at the Arena after the game, she said we weren't allowed to take the towels offsite so I asked if she wanted them back but she kept accusing us of trying to sneak extra people in, it was only 1pm and she did explain that we were allowed visitors until 9pm but no matter how much we explained the situation she wouldn't let up. By now my sister who saw her pulling faces behind my back had had enough and responsed sharply to all the questions and accusations she threw at us, she then suggested we move on because she was getting attitude. We must of been having this conversation with her for 10mins repeatedly justifying ourselves, she went on to insinuate that we couldn't afford to stay at such places and after the reception and such comments we decided to leave and get our money back .....For the fact I do stay at such places several times a year, mostly always for sports trips and I have never experienced anything like this.

I am in communication with Hilton headquarters in the USA, where I reside to submit a formal complaint.The residence, staff and services at the resort were all excellent, aside from the GM. The wonderful staff excluding the RACIST GM even called me while I was on the way to the airport, to return my wallet which contained several hundred Euros, as I had forgot it when I checked out. I could not have asked for a better staff, services and accommodations except, of course for the General Manager.As previous guest jeansolme stated, the incident on Saturday, 26 January 2019 sadly showed that the racist General Manager improperly targeted the bartender, named Hamilton a professional local St. Lucian who did not deserve this improper treatment.Let me describe my experience:On the morning of Saturday, 26 January 2019, I had a lovely breakfast with my friends local St. Lucians at Julia's restaurant in the hotel. Perfect service. Upon return to my room, I requested that Hamilton the bartender, bring up to my room one cocktail and a bottle of water. He brought the items and also assisted me with the television which was not properly functioning throughout my stay and then exited my room. Approximately 5 minutes later, the General Manager, who I now know to be Jean Pierre, a white French man, aggressively knocked on my door with another security man. I was packing, in my bathrobe and was quite frightened. I am a solo woman traveler and I take my safety very seriously.This GM was a complete bully and demanded to know where the bartender was. I was shocked at his demeanor and boorish behavior. I told him that the bartender had left and I had no idea where he was. The GM was so aggressive that I feared for my safety.As I mentioned, I am in communication with Hilton headquarters in te USA. I have never in my life experienced such horrible behavior from a GM.

When we wished to understand the pricing quoted on the bill this dish isnt even mentioned on their restaurant menu, he behaved in the most unprofessional way, pointing fingers while talking, rude behavior and not hospitable at all.

After seating ourselves again, no menus were offered again and we were asked to move to another table which was located in a muddy grass patch. When we refused, the waiter shouted and responded rudely. At the same time, a white family arrived and again, better service was offered including being chauffeured to a table and provided menus. My partner asked to see the manager and we were told he's ""outside"". We asked that the rude waiter apologise for his behaviour but was refused a simple apology too. There was an obvious difference in service offered to white and nonwhite customers which was potentially the most frustrating part of the experience since we're all darn paying customers.

The members of staff were frequently making racist comments towards our group calling us stupid english people and muttering slurs under their breathe in French not knowing that a lot of us actually speak the language.There was no hospitality at all. We had a check in time at 1pm and had to wait a further 30 mins to collect our key cards, which of course was fine. The lady came and and gave half of our group the keys and said there were no more rooms and we would have to wait until the evening. She wasnt apologetic in the slightest and looked like we were just a massive inconvenience. When we arrived back at the hotel at midnight ready to collect our keycards and go to bed when the lady said they key cards hadnt been programmed to our rooms yet. 20 of us were waiting for another hour to finally get our key cards, 12 hours after we were suppose to check in. When we finally were given key cards half of them were for rooms that were double booked and some of the group walked into people in their beds! Personally it took me a further 2 attempts to go back to the incredibly rude lady at the desk to get a room, however some of my colleagues had to try four times.The three rooms I saw were okay, would have been better if there were less strangers belongings and strangers in them.This is by far the worst service I have ever encountered.

The quality of the hotel is extremely poor. Filthy carpets no space to move around the rooms. Shower stalls were on concept with water all over the washroom floor. What's worse the tall woman who supervised the cafeteria was racist and rude. When confronted seemed to just laugh it off. With her attitude, she is more fit as a prison warden rather than in an hotel cafeteria. Many in our group noticed how she treated some clientele from European countries with added courtesy. Even the hotel manager was introduced to the European clients, however when she pointed to the leaders of our group he rudely waved his hand to say he was not interested and walked away. My review will also be sent to Purple Orchid, the organizers of our trip. We do not pay good money to be housed in cheap lousy hotels like this one.

As you can see from the reviews on here, which she only responds to if negative, she is somewhat aggressive and invasive with guests. Her response to the other review from our group is both inaccurate and lying. One of us ordered linens before we arrived none of us afterwards. It was me that she picked on from the moment we met. When I walked into the kitchen she immediately made fun of the fact that I still looked a little tired and worn out, which is strange seeing as I had just showered. Two sentences later she starts staring at me and says 'somebody owes me 3 for bed linens.' I looked for some money, but didn't have enough and stated this. She keeps staring future note for when you read this: it is polite to say at that point; It's ok, just make sure you give it before you leave. and just stood there saying nothing. After getting the cash of the other members of the party I looked at her whilst putting the cash in her hand. One coin dropped by mistake and she was still staring at me in a discomforting way then says 'thank you, to which I looked her in the eyes politely and said 'you're welcome.' Somehow she took offence to this and retorted 'Of course I am, I do own the place.' Not wanting to get annoyed by her demeanour, I decided to go and stand in the other room to remove myself from the tense atmosphere. She then followed me and some other guests there and started a very patronising lesson about the recycling which was not needed considering the number of signs explaining this. As I was not feeling in the mood to respond to such behaviour I didn't neither did anyone else in the group. This is when she got very strange, putting on a slow and deliberate accent and stating loudly 'DO YOU SPEAK ENGLISH' I was absolutely shocked by this behaviour and even if I was not a mixed race individual it would still be racially offensive. From what I can understand looking through other reviews and from the other guest in our party, you don't take to criticism well. With that in mind, I ask that rather than use negative energy trying to send abusive emails to me, to call me or even deny things on here, take one of those 1000000000 Bibles you have on the property and read the sections on respecting your fellow humans regardless of who they are. You have a few things to learn in this area.

The location is very convenient and the facilities are ok. The place is clean enough with an acceptable amount of resources compared to the average hostel in the UK and I have been to many. Unfortunatley, you will not be able to avoid the owner completely so you may well be better off paying a little more for a friendlier place or paying less at the campsite.You would be more likely to find Stella's attitude and communication style in a prison than a hostel. She was cold, condescending and strict right from the start. It is understandable that a hostel would need certain rules, but the emphasis that she places on them and the severity ascribed to them are very odd indeed. Another reviewer said that she is respectful if you respect her, but this did not hold true in our case. She came at us with a confrontational attitude right from the start despite our politeness. She seems to have the impression that she is doing guests a favour rather than them being paying customers. Here is just one example from moments after she met us, whilst we were cooking breakfast, hungover: Stella: Give me the 3 for the bedsheets now.Guest: Ok, hold on, here you go.Stella: Thanks.Guest being polite: You're welcome.Stella stern tone and smirking: Of course I'm welcome! This is my place.A short while later, she did a racist impression:Stella: asked a question once which I cannot rememberGuest who is clearly not white: no answer as he did not hear herStella Indian accent and tilting head from side to side: Excuse me, you speak EnglishMe utterly shocked: Don't be racist! Stella got in my face and smirked: Aww, you're sensitive aren't you It's not racist.This of course set off a big argument in which she would not accept any responsibility for her rudeness. Trying to ridicule someone white or not with a stereotyped foreign accent as if they are stupid is apparently not racist in her book. I guess the Katie Hopkins fans out there may agree with her. But, even without that label, it was incredibly rude and aggressive.Luckily, despite her disgusting attitude, we managed to have a great time. That does not say anything about the hostel itself though." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg53449d96777r610975021MicrotelInnSuitesbyWyndhamPittsburghAirportPittsburghPennsylvania.html,Date of stay: August 2018,United States,Pennsylvania PA,Pittsburgh,unknown,This place is racist!!!,"I attempted to stay here and the front desk person is so rude!

The family here has been taking care of their little slice of Pahar Ganj for 40 years, so they know a thing or two about the business. The old lady who runs the place goes by Mamaji, and she will definitely treat you like a mother while you are here.I moved from another hostel nearby, Kuldeep Friends, because this place was just so much more superior.First the cons. For me, these didn't make much of a difference, but for others it may, depending on your lifestyle. They do not have attached bathrooms, the bathrooms are separated from the bedrooms by an internal courtyard bring your own soap! But they have towels for you. The bathrooms also contain squat toilets, so if you have weak knees, you're in for a challenge.I've been drinking the tap water located at the sink in the courtyard haven't gotten sick so far, it's been a week and a half, but if purified water is something you're adamant about, you'll need to buy some bottles of it in the road next to the guest house.Those aspects aside, I cannot think of any reason to not stay here if you're visiting Pahar Ganj or Delhi. The metro rail is a 10 minute walk away, and you are 3 minutes' walk from the main street of Pahar Ganj where you can grab rikshaws and autos local taxis. Transportation to the rest of the city is no problem whatsoever, the location is good enough for that.There is no food served the kitchen is mostly for the family who maintains the place, but you're in the middle of Pahar Ganj! There is so much food just on the street right outside, including a veg dhaba across the street with decent prices 110 rs will net you two dishes and a couple rotis, enough to enjoy a filling meal at the end of the day. There's lassi stands, a couple bakeries one Indian and a couple Western or ""German"", a fruit stand nothing beats a plate of watermelon for 20 rs, all cut up and fresh, and a few Bengali/Assamese restaurants if you crave seafood. If none of these local places meet your fancy, you're a walk away from the main street where there are more places to eat, including a Subway.Smoke stands are also right outside, and you can grab some bottled water at these places too. If you're looking for a place to drink, there is a cheap bar Sam's, happy hour is until 5:30 in the afternoon near the main street of Pahar Ganj, a 3 minute walk from the hostel. It's also a great place to bring friends and to use as a meetup location.The open courtyard is wonderful to sit in and read, smoke, or chill with other guests. You can drink as well beer, and there are a couple thekas, or alcohol stores, up the street from the hostel. It's easy to grab a little something and bring it back to your room.A big plus for this place is that Mamaji is very open about having visitors and guests over. I have a few friends who would like to regularly visit me from around Delhi, and the fact that they can come for five minutes or five hours, hang out in the courtyard or in my room, and even sleep over if they need to, is very liberating. Pretty much every other hostel or hotel in Pahar Ganj, Much less the entire city of Delhi, explicitly prohibits guests and friends. Some are racist even against other Indians and don't allow Indian friends or guests to come visit you. And nearly all are sexist on top if it and especially won't allow any local female friends to come visit. Yet these same places take female foreign guests and allow patrons to have foreign female friends over. It makes no sense to me and disgusts me, the double standards one finds in Delhi hostels and hotels.But Ever Green is DEFINITELY not at all like that. Mamaji is cool with everyone, true to her Sikh creed. And it's that aspect of her and her hostel that I think stands as a testimony to what kind of place you will be living in and what kind of people you will be dealing with by coming here.For your spiritual needs, there is a masjid and three to four mandirs within five minutes of the place. Not sure if there is a gurudrawa nearby, but Mamaji is Sikh so she will know I'm sure.So for the decent rooms for the price offered 300400 a night, the wonderful location with plenty of dining options around, places nearby to grab water, alcohol, medicines, toiletries, and the absolute 100 freedom you have with guests and friends coming over is why I must wholeheartedly recommend Ever Green.P.S.: the place does have free wifi. They shut it off around 11:30pm the router is located in Mamaji's room and she goes to sleep around then and it usually is back up by 9am, but that's enough wifi during the day. If you're here as a tourist, your days ought to be so packed that you'll doze off by midnight anyways!" -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg34515d223731r611183603MidpointeHotelOrlandoFlorida.html,Date of stay: August 2018,United States,Florida FL,Central Florida,unknown,Racist employees here!!,"We arrived late in the evening of august 15th, I was curious because when we arrived we found a family that was having issues with the price, so we had to wait about 20min because all the employees were trying to fix this situation with the family even though they have 2 spaces for check in and out and did not pay attention to us. But here comes the story Weeks before our arrival I called the hotel twice and ask them if there was any charge for packages, to females told me that there were no charges for packages unless they arrive a week before my reservation and that in those cases they will charge a fee per day on each package. We finally started with the check in and I asked them if they already had my packages I got two delivered by that point and I was shocked when they told me I had to pay from 10 to 20 dollars depending on the wight of each one Even more than the cost of the item in one of the packages I told them I called to confirm and here is where everything started this people has no idea of how to treat customers, they show me a sign that was inside the hotel that described the charges and I kept trying to explain them what I was told over the phone. The lady decided to call another guy that was there I assume it was the manager because it was dresses different than the others he is the most racist and rude person I have ever met, I felt very mistreated about his tone of voice and his body language he even make fun of me when I was trying to explain him the situation and did nothing to solve the issue, not even apologize and instead offered me to go somewhere else If I wanted to. I can tell you that if my reservation wasn't already paid by then and an earlier time I WOULD DEFENETELY would go to another place. The fact that this hotel is a low cost hotel does not have nothin to do with the way I am expecting to be treated and It felt horrible to be in a Foreign country visiting and to be treated in this manner, I think this is horrible for Rosen image and I am hoping that you can take actions about this. Hopefully I did not see them for the next days, but I do regret a lot that I didn't ask for their names. The day we check out we did met a guy named Chris he was the only person in the reception who actually treated us with respect and was actually very nice, if it wasn't for him I would be even more dissapointed about the people they hire in this place." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg317068d578481r639537643AmaniTiwiBeachResortUkundaCoastProvince.html,Date of stay: December 2018,Africa,Kenya,Coast Province,unknown,Great facility but poor services,"I stayed at the hotel for 5 nights and the hotel did not live to expectations, despite the beautiful pictures on their website. Housekeeping services were below par, the towels were yellowed and smelly, the bathrooms were also not clean and the bath mat not changed daily despite being wet. The rooms were only swept and floor not cleaned sometimes. The hotel wifi is erratic and remained so, the time I was there. I resolved to using my data bundles out of frustrations. The meals were not to expectations as well and were not that tasty, I think they had overstayed in the freezer. The hotel run out of essential food such as breakfast most mornings and one morning we were told the supplier was late. This meant we missed our favourite food. The bar service for all inclusive did not include popularly taken drinks and we were left with limited options or going back to our pockets to enjoy our favourite drinks. We felt that the facility was outstretched by all means; staff, food including utensils, our last night for dinner we had to wait for other guests to finish their meals to have free plates. Staff did not seem motivated and I sensed racial discrimination, which is improper in this day and age. Overall, the hotel services are rated mediocre." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg317068d578481r480128369AmaniTiwiBeachResortUkundaCoastProvince.html,Date of stay: April 2017,Africa,Kenya,Coast Province,unknown,DISCRIMINATIVE RECEPTIONIST,"I went with my partner to look for a room for our Easter holiday at the hotel, despite the facility being highly publisized, we found the receptionist to have rude tendencies and she wad racially unconcious, She first told us there were no rooms at the hotel only for a manager to confirm later, there were room.

The employees was being racist, something NO child should go through especially as a family trip!!!! The employee male looked right at my son speaking to him in spanish that there were NO restrooms. Very rude, my son dis not even ask for a restroom actually we had just walked in for a reservation. The room was filthy, the headboard had obvious fingerprints/handprints. We did not shower that night, i went ahead and stayed elsewhere at the last minute. The tub was disgusting with mold and I made it clear to my kids not to touch anything!!! We tried our best to get to that room late so that we can just get there and fall asleep since it was very gross!!! This is our first and last time we will stay there, I dont care how bad I need a room, I will rather stay to sleep in my own vehicle.

BEST EXPERIENCE!,"Do NOT believe the ONE terrible review from a 1time poster on Trip Advisor! I am shocked to read that negative review because I found the owner to be caring and helpful and interested in me as a guest. And coming from Japan, there was ZERO hint of racism!! The owner actually Googled my city in Japan and made comments and asked questions about Kobe. She was genuinely interested in where I was from! Her daughter is a teacher in Germany and she told me about her and asked about schooling in Japan. She was the most helpful hotel owner/manager of my entire trip in Germany for almost 3 weeks! I am the FIRST person to pick up on racist things when traveling and there was NOTHING racist here. I have around 140 reviews in August 2015 and not all of them are rave ones. I will post a few negative comments about my Germany trip but nothing bad about the Grimmelshausen Hotel.One example of kindness that I witnessed was when two men who were not staying in the hotel wandered in at about 10 a.m. and inquired about having breakfast there. I knew that the owner/manager had plans that morning shortly after breakfast and I could tell that she hesitated at first but having good businesssense, she invited them in to stay. These two men were Spanish speakers so I am not sure if a racist owner would be so interested in Japan and then so kind to two Latin men non guests who showed up 5 minutes before the end of the breakfast time meant for hotel guests. She welcomed them and chatted with them just as she did every day with all of the guests in the breakfast room! The breakfast selection was very good and they offer to cook eggs to order like other hotels. I am pretty sure that I finished all of the homemade plum jam in 4 days from the 2014 harvest. The bread was fresh and delicious! I am guessing it came from the bakery across the street but don't know for sure. The meat cheese selection was also great. I spent 4 nights here and I had a double room for single use. I found the room to be very big and very very clean. I am from Japan so I am used to smaller accommodations. The room was NOT expensive and I had a flat screen TV and a room safe! This was the only hotel with a room safe during my trip. The bed was fine. Nothing luxurious but I am not a great sleeper so I shouldn't say too much. I do think it is odd that seemingly ALL German hotels do NOT put a top sheet on beds! I need to have my feet tucked in at the bottom so it was hard to get used to a blanket on top of a mattress and just a fitted sheet. That was in EVERY hotel though. The bathroom was BIG and very very clean. And the towels were great for this type of hotel in this price range. I had towel issues in my next hotel so looking back, the towels here were like the Four Seasons, comparatively. The housekeeping women were friendly and kind too. Always sincere greetings which felt like home. The manager/owner also called me by name from the first day. This was the ONLY hotel where someone did that in Germany. That is the type of service that I received when I stayed in the Four Seasons in Dublin, Ireland or other 5star hotels in the past. The Japanese Yen is not as strong these days! :The owner also suggested great daytrip ideas to me when I was looking to leave town for the day or half day. And she would ask the next morning about how my trips were. Budingen was an easy half day trip and I highly recommend it. It is a beautiful little town only a couple train stops away if you are not driving. I was traveling by train and I managed to find the hotel without a problem. It was only about a 10minute walk and convenient for my two day trips. I did it with a medium sized suitcase and a rolling carryon bag and it was not too taxing. The hotel is just at the start of the hill so just when you start to regret the walk and question why you didn't take a taxi, you will see the hotel on the right. A sure relief.Fulda was my fullday trip and I enjoyed that city a lot too. It was further but the train ride was scenic. I wouldn't go there on a Monday if you plan on seeing the inside of the palace there. Monday was my only free day so I did it and there was still plenty to see without that museum. The Grimmelshausen Hotel cannot be beaten for such good rates and service. Almost forgot, this was also the best hotel for free wifi. I had so many problems in my other Germany hotels with the alleged ""free wifi in every room."" The owner also recommended a great cafe for CAKE! So grateful for that suggestion! I went there twice and wanted to go a 3rd time but didn't have time. : Pretty garden in the back where you can sit if you don't mind chainsmoking people blowing filthy smoke in your face. The inside has great seating too." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg187339d2239144r272295706GrimmelshausenHotelGelnhausenHesse.html,Date of stay: May 2015,Europe,Germany,Hesse,unknown,Dirty rooms and racist owner,"The Building looks nice from outside, typical histortical view of the town.The rooms and furniture are rather aged and the bathrooms are not really clean.We met the owner, she did not make us feel welcome and made inappropriate comments.Honestly I would not recommend this place to a friend." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg666526d1151957r388510056FlorazarIIApartmentsCulleraProvinceofValenciaValencianCountry.html,Date of stay: July 2016,Europe,Spain,Valencian Country,unknown,"Good view, big apartments but unfortunately very racist people ","Looking for relax and enjoy time with my family we decided to book this apartment.

Opening the windows the only way to cool down as the radiator literally could not be turned off or even down meant I was badly bitten by fearsome mosquitos, the scars from which are still with me after two weeks!.Locationwise its stunning as many have pointed out, the clockwork funicular down to the lake is charming, the waterfall energising, the lake view from our window was fabm and the October air was rather pleasant even if the narrow, windy road up and down seems like a death trap to those unused to alpine mountain etiquette.But no .. on our last night we were sat behind a shockingly arrogant Germanspeaking couple whose parenting skills didn't extend, it seems, to taking a continuously screaming/squealing infant to bed, but rather sat themselves in the restaurant for over an hour inflicting the howling on their fellow guests. The couple next to us paid and left after their starter, taking their nearly full bottle of wine upstairs, it was so unpleasant. We asked to be moved reasonable I thought as it was early, we had booked in advance for a prime, waterfallview seat which would have been easily let out after the familyfromhell left but no, all we were offered despite a nearempty restaurant was a table right next to a noisy Chinese group of 12. As my wife is ethnically Chinese, this looked to us like a racist putdown by the sneery maitre 'how dare you complain, look at what we have to put up with from these noisy people' I pointed out a quiet table behind a wall, but was told that they filled the restaurant in sections over the evening, and that area was not being filled yet. The maitre's arrogance was defended up by the restaurant manager, so we paid up and went up to reception to complain. Despite some attempts at conciliation by staff especially after I emailed in a complaint from my room, picked up by the general manager, we left the hotel very disappointed. I spoke to the general manager by phone a few days later from home he had been on holiday in Italy during our visit but although apologetic he was irritatingly slippery.Indeed the whole experience put a disappointing spin on our entire stay in Switzerland I'm a great lover of Germany and German culture, but Switzerland as a place seemed vacuous, moneygrubbing unfriendly and arrogant in comparison to visiting some of Germany's wonderful historic places. Happy to take Chinese money, but not to treat Chinese as people. How dare we complain! This is The Giessbach! I doubt I'll be back in hurry to Switzerland and as for the The Giessbach well the location will always guarantee custom but I urge potential guests to be cautious about when they travel and to take no nonsense from arrogant, borderline racist staff. Actually looking at other reviews we are not the first to have experienced racist behaviour at this establishment." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg3524558d196837r169277547GrandhotelGiessbachGiessbachBrienzBerneseOberlandCantonofBern.html,Date of stay: July 2013,Europe,Switzerland,Canton of Bern,unknown,Always wonderful!,"My wife and I always relish a stay in this haven, perched above the lake of Brienz, for 1 or 2 nights in the summer it's not far from Berne after all!We try and pick two consecutive pleasant days, not easy in this day and age, but it's anyway always worth the trip.

The eggs station staff served us burnt fried eggs and the very same day while serving an elderly German guest they were properly served on a tempered frying pan.The food for vegetarians was almost entirely carbohydrate based. Potato with potato was a common theme. You couldn't make it more obvious that you're trying to keep it cheap.Staff in the hotel generally treated us as if we were being done a favour.

Racist management. Lack of security.,"Inout Hostel is located 16 minutes out of town, on FGC S1 or S2 line. I overheard management, talking in Catalan, making racist remarks about guests staying there. They had no idea, I understand Catalan. An ethnic waiter working here, was observed also discriminating against English speakers. A Brazilian man touched a girl while she was sleeping in her room, making her feel afraid. Inout took 2 days to kick him out. When he returned a few days later, they checked him in for another night, and placed him in a room with girls. ZERO SECURITY for women. Smoke alarms are covered in dust and DO NOT work, especially in rooms above restaurant, and in restaurant itself. This hostel appears to attract unstable, old men. I DO NOT recommend Inout for solo female travellers, the atmosphere is creepy. On the plus side, some of the reception staff are awesome, esp the Mexican lady, but their brilliance cannot compensate for what is wrong with this hostel. The management are lazy and racist. Spend a bit more, and stay in the many good hostels in Barcelona." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg194734d662600r272898468GrandHotelAdmiralPalaceChiancianoTermeTuscany.html,Date of stay: May 2015,Europe,Italy,Tuscany,unknown,Racist hotel management stay away,"While traveling through Italy with a Thai tour group, on May 8 we made the mistake of staying at the Grand Hotel Admiral Palace. In spite of prior arrangements that had been made for our group to partake of the hotel's evening buffet dinner, our group was provided only a small table away from the main buffet that was set with inferior food. We were told that we would be allowed only one serving of each item. When our tour leader complained that this was not what had been agreed to and that we were being treated like second class citizens, the hotel manager began to yell and very publicly berate our group. Needless to say, this was incredibly embarrassing for all of us. I can only surmise from the noticeable disdain written on the manager's face that Asian tour groups are not welcome in his hotel. Beyond the poor treatment received in the dining room, I should note also that the music in the hotel bar was noisy and went on well into the night. Rooms were poorly appointed. Internet was spotty at best. I would advise all travelers who do not wish to be a party to the sort of racist behavior noted above to avoid this hotel." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg188632d6163973r464973678KingKongHostelRotterdamSouthHollandProvince.html,Date of stay: February 2017,Europe,The Netherlands,South Holland Province,unknown,The hostel management is racist,"I was supposed to stay at this hostel for 3 nights , but the second night the hostel management called police on me and kicked me out of the hostel and refused to refund my last night.

They made Asians stay in one room3. They did not clean the bathroom starting day 4 onwards even if we requested it4. Extremely noisy from first floor because of bars around 5. They did not change sheets from day 4 onwards6. We got bedbugs after the trip 7. Hidden charges when you did not book online, rates are different on weekdays and weekends8. Laundry room is 2x6m and is shared with the house laundry like comforters and curtains9. Staff are annoyed when asked for assistance esp with washing machine. They think we cannot understand but if the machine is in Dutch10. Staff claimed to have seen 100 euro for the first time when we're ordering breakfast for 6 euro, they were just so lazy and ask us to change it somewhere else. 11. Yeah no free breakfast 12. No hang out place for traveler except the kitchen so forget about cooking 13. No group activities and tours. 14. Heater was controlled by the main desk and thermostat is impossible to adjust 15.

When complained to hotel management, complete lack of interest even though problem has clearly been present for several weeks, so that guests could not use the public computer. Hotel management also exhibited racist attitides, as the keyboard was French and so nonFrench guests could not be expected to use a French keyboard. This was an inappropriate racist hotel management view, as the problem lay with a worn out computer keyboard, rather than it being a French keyboard.When the complaint was referred to the hotel General Manager, he surprisingly backed up the Duty Manager and responded in a condescending racist attitude to the nonFrench guests, as well as blatantly faiing to resolve the customer service complaints.

Because of his medical issues, he could not detect the smell. The next day, he developed a severe headache and I checked in next day in the same room. As soon as I walked in I smelled the room. It was like mildew and mold and poop. It had a disgusting smell and later my son and daughter also arrived and smelled the same odor, because it was so late at night we tried to stay in without reporting it. The next day I found myself with a strong headache, and we went to complain, but the clerk Chad was very rude and defensive. He questioned us when this smell started to occur, indicating that I made the smell. On 4th night we stayed, the alarm clock all the sudden turned on at 12am in the middle of night even though we never set it, I guess some people In this motel did something to it. While we were away on errands. I had to mention that cheap old junk alarm clock did sound so horrible that it almost made us have a heart attack. Also for some reason the soap dish inside the bath tub will light up at night behind the wall, it surely creeped me out. The manager, Steve Bovaird was also very rude when we tried to reach out to him, and he said to me, a Chinese immigrant: ""You people make your own problems"", referring to the stink in the room with his bully like manner. This was our nightmare hotel experience, I felt discriminated, and labeled in this place. Just stay away from this motel, to all my American friends.There was a lot of ugly laundry hanging at the balcony rails, very disgusting.All my Chinese and Asian friends, all immigrants, I advise you stay away from this horrible, racist place.

I checked into the Motel in Tallahasse Florida the day before my family arrived ahead of FSU graduation of our daughter, this went from what was suppose to be a joyous occasion to the nightmare on North Monroe Street. The room smelled like a combination of Vomit, Urine, feces, mildew, and mold. I was expecting my family to arrive that night but they were delayed until the next day. I have no sense of smell due to a medical condition and the management should have not taken advantage of me and rented room with no carpet and a bathroom with no tile and floors striped to bare exposing the wood. When the rest of the family arrived the next day they noticed the smell right away but as it was the day before graduation in a college town everything was booked so we stayed the next day in the room as well myself and my wife had terrible headaces from the rooms conditions while my brothers room dd not smell and had carpet and tile flooring. On the morning of graduation we asked to be moved and compensated for the horrible condtions Chad at the front desk said he had to check with his manager to ""confirm"" the rooms conditions and would move use to a different room after graduation. Chad was a very disagreeable fellow, after we returned from graduation he did agree to move us and did not immediately agree that the room smelled only after repeated questioning in a nice mannor did Chad admit the room had a horrible odor. Chad offered us a 50 discount on the room 131 for one night, when my wife and I insisted on additional compensation and after much back and forth Chad agreed to comp the room rate of 175.00. On the morning we checked out my wife and I went to the lobby to get a credit for the day before as well since I have a host of medical condition and did not detect the unsanitary smell in the room since I was by myself. When we went to the front desk the clerk got the general manager Mr. Steve Bovaird. Bovaird came barreling out of the back office as soon as he heard my request for credit for the first nites stay in room 131 of 227.92. He refused to give us any more credit My wife then stated "" you should not have rented this sick room to us"" He attacked my wife and like a gang member and did nothing but yell at us he looked at my AsianAmerican wife Bovair pointed his finger at my wife "" You people caused your own problems"" I interceeded and told him he cannot talk to my wife like that. We were farce to face and and the next thing he said was you people need to leave so he was throwing us out. Screaming the whole time. Bovaird exhibited obvious racist intentions and La Quinta needs to separate themselves from Bovaird. We also believe the managemnenbt set our alarm to go off at midnight to drive us crazy and get us to leave. Do no ever stay here at this flea bag hotel.

The easiest way to find it is to take the Kotoden train from Takamatsu Station to Kataharamachi which is just one stop away. Then, once you reach the station exit, you veer right and you then soon reach a larger street where you turn right again and then just go straight until you see the hotel in front of you. It is a large whitecoloured building with a blue sign displaying the name in Japanese only as in front of which there is a large car park. You go left to reach the entrance above which the name is displayed in English. Inside, the lobby is huge with a lot of seating and a series of drinks vending machines and a large reception desk. I dealt with several reception desk staff and they were all without exception totally unwilling to communicate with me at all in Japanese and refused to answer every question that I asked and refused to acknowledge anything I said in Japanese even though they cannot speak English. They can only make oneword utterances consisting of meaningless words such as ""this"", ""name"", ""up"" etc. Refusing to speak Japanese in Japan is just ridiculous, totally unhelpful and extremely, extremely rude. I found it extremely uncomfortable to deal with the staff at this hotel and there were no polite phrases or bowing at any time and no thank you for my custom or goodbye at the end.The room I had was on the 9th floor and overlooked the harbour so that the view was very pleasant. It was a small single room which was over 6000 yen a night on Agoda which I booked only because it was the only hotel left in town with affordable rooms during a Japanese holiday weekend. Now, I understand why it was the only one left. My preferred hotel, Takamatsu Century Hotel, was full where I usually stay. That is an excellent hotel where the staff are courteous, helpful and friendly.My room at this hotel was quite typical of any Japanese hotel with a carpet on the floor, a long desk, a TV which does have real television programmes on it and not just video on demand like at some hotels, a fridge, teamaking facilities, a telephone, torch, clothes deodoriser, hairdryer and a real wardrobe for hanging clothes. Night dress was also provided. The bed was quite comfortable with no protruding springs. However, there was boy car racing going on until late into the night when all I could hear were racing engines and screeching tyres which prevented me from sleeping much. The air con temperature in the room could not be regulated. You could only adjust the fan speed.The bathroom is also typically Japanese located in a cabinet with the usual small bath tub, wash basin and hightech toilet. Shampoo and body wash are provided as is a toothbrush with some toothpaste and plenty of toilet paper plus a couple of towels.I did not have breakfast at the hotel, but, you can have breakfast there between 06:30 and 09:30 for 1,030 yen, if you so wish. I had breakfast inside the arcade at Gasto which can cost as little as 299 yen and they have all sorts of different breakfasts. Check out time at the hotel is early : at 10am.Since most Japanese hotels are quite similar, good customer service is quite important. However, the customer service at this hotel is horrible, if you are a foreigner as you get treated like dirt. I felt extremely uncomfortable and intimidated by their racism. For that reason, I am giving this hotel an extremely low score and I would never even consider staying here again. It must be one of the world's rudest and most racist hotels." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg49635d652581r491352448LakeLeamonCampgroundWallaceNorthCarolina.html,Date of stay: June 2017,United States,North Carolina NC,Wallace,unknown,Dirty Lake and bad customer service,"My and my friends went to the lake and they guy didn't even greet us he just looked at us like he didn't want us to be there in my opinion kind of racist, also the lake was extremely dirty i got sick that night after going to the lake and had to go to the hospital never going back." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg49635d652581r357109734LakeLeamonCampgroundWallaceNorthCarolina.html,Date of stay: March 2016,United States,North Carolina NC,Wallace,unknown,The most racist experience,I am a 32 year old well educated black man with a wife and 2 beautiful children.

The hotel is very easily walkable upto Rialto Bridge/ St. marco Square or any other part for that matter You require a GPS / Offline map to travel through this city. These areas are also well connected by water vaparitos at most hours of the date. The hotel immediate area is not having any bars or restraunt but at a walking distance of 10 mins.Venice is one of the expensive cities of Europe, and hence for the price i paid, i would have better taken some other hotel.Room:We were offered a very god room and it immediately charmed us. The walls were cladded with cloth and was very precisely concealed at joints. The room had a very royal feel and all the furniture aligned in line to maintain the theme.The room does not has any kettle or coffee maker. The hotel policy does not allow you to eat anything in the room. for people addicted to bed tea have to beg to hotel staff to get hot water and make tea of your own. Carry tea supplies as they won't give anything before breakfast starts at 8:30 AM.WIFI was disruptive and as per them they had informed the service provider to fix it.It would only work in the reception area.Bathroom and Bathing experience:The bathroom was marble finished and also had a royal theme. The Bathroom enclosure was a bit small and did not give a pleasant bathing experience. The bathroom was also less ventilated.Hotel StaffThe front desk is managed by Mr. modi During the day and Mr. Norman during the night. Mr. Modi is a polite gentleman and is very impressive with his email skills. Mr. Modi also gave a very descriptive information about the city as we arrived and was kind to keep our heavy suitcase to the room as well.Mr. Norman is on toes to help you during the night.Please read special note for the Hotel staff being racist in ""Special Comments of my review below""Breakfast:The breakfast unusually starts at 08:30 at this hotel.I did not eat in the hotel. I was not treated well and was made to feel like a bigger.Please read special note for the Hotel staff being racist in ""Special Comments of my review below""Swimming Pool / Gym / Spa:No, Not at all. its tad small hotel.Special mention:The Breakfast lady who serves breakfast is an Englishwoman and is really a racist. We had a tour at 09:00 Am and for that we had to leave hotel at 08:15. The breakfast unusually starts at 08:30 at this hotel. We requested for a packed breakfast. After some discussion with Mr. Norman, a sandwich and boiled egg was shabbily packed in plastic bag. Later in morning, we figured out that we can spare 15 mins from 08:15 to 08:30 in the hotel and have our breakfast sitting in the restraunt.On requesting the breakfast lady which arrives at 08:05 or 08:10, she refused to use the restraunt area from which we just wanted a corner to sit and eat like humans. She told me that breakfast items are not ready. I asked that we can eat our packed stuff but in a proper way, but the next excuse she gave was that she has to wear the breakfast dress and get ready.Further, they do not allow to eat in the room, so what they expected from us was ""Take your packed breakfast and get lost and eat this on street not here"". I was really disappointed and felt being a victim of racism. For tow days of my stay i did not had breakfast at this hotel.I would urge if you can book the hotel without breakfast and instead explore much more beautiful places in city to have breakfast at.On informing the incident to Mr. Modi, he took side of the hotel. Also the hotel owner lady was present, but Mr. Modi also like a machine kept saying as per hotel policy the breakfast starts at 08:30 am only and further speaking in Italian to the Lady Owner. Again felt being a victim of racism. I being travelled to over 60 hotels in 20 countries understand what i am asking for and i also do not go overboard to make my requests.One more astonishing fact was that Mr. Modi told me bluntly to report this issue on TripAdvisor. In general the hotel listens to its guest carefully and tries to resolve. His attitude and way of speech made me feel ""go get lost and go report on trip advisor, do not bother me"". Also, when i came down on day 2 and asked him if he knew about the breakfast incidence the previous day, he acted innocent whereas he was updated by Mr. Norman and had an idea about the things. I feel somehow Mr. Modi is also not keeping to his job perfectly and is biased towards things maybe because of his pressure situation handling powerI would never stay in this hotel ever again and urge you not to be a victim of racism as well." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg187248d7278849r585789615LeMasdelaTannerieGordesLuberonVaucluseProvenceAlpesCotedAzur.html,Date of stay: May 2018,Europe,France,ProvenceAlpesCote d'Azur,unknown,Disappointing experience with a shockingly rude host/owner,"Our experience here was very poor to say the least. The biggest red flags that should steer anyone clear from this property include a racist owner who verbally assaulted us, an unprofessional operation lacking staff and basic hotel services such as access to waste bins, room cleaning, general assistance, and a laundry list of unspoken rules and expectations that are not communicated to you beforehand. When you break any of these surprise rules you will then be scolded like a child, and subjected to belligerent diatribes, locked out of community areas, and denied basic hotel requests such as the need for an additional towel, ice, etc. In addition, there was no access to WiFi, even though its advertised as an amenity on their booking site. The antagonistic temperment of the owner, however, was completely unacceptable, and quite frankly appalling. You will notice some themes in other travelers reviews, which we experienced as well: a confrontational host exhibiting verbal aggression, pettiness, rules made up on the spot, and punishment doled out for not following these rules. Guests generally feel unwelcome and uncomfortable when confronted with her uncontrollable temper, and ultimately not surprisingly disappointed in their stay. I agree wholeheartedly with the other travelers experiences, and wished I had taken the time to do more research before booking our stay here. The uncomfortable feelings aside, by far the most upsetting part of our stay was the racism exhibited by the owner. She referred to my partner an ""uneducated European"" dozens of times during our stay because he is Turkish. For example, when we told her her we werent aware her policy of no outside food and beverages including bottled water in the privacy of your own room she condescendingly responded, Educated Europeans are aware of these things. For the record, my partner has a PhD in economics. The way she treated him in particular was very hurtful and sad, and its unacceptable in this day and age to encounter such an ignorant individual, especially one whose profession is in the hospitality industry. The property is certainly appealing based on the photographs, and is lush and green, but there are a dozen others just like it in the area run by experienced, kind people who are happy to have you as a guest. I will spare all the other grossly inappropriate details of our stay, but all in all, I certainly do not recommend this place." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg187248d7278849r585700701LeMasdelaTannerieGordesLuberonVaucluseProvenceAlpesCotedAzur.html,Date of stay: May 2018,Europe,France,ProvenceAlpesCote d'Azur,unknown,"Unfriendly, Grumpy and Racist Host","Visited as a couple from Texas, USA, for two nights.

For example, when we would cook in the kitchen he would come and ask us where are we from and then ridicule us by commenting that 'Is this how you clean in your countries' He would make fun of our foods, saying 'Curry, curry, curry, curry, my kitchen smells of curry, why don't you make some German food' He would shout at us for no reason and say offensive things such as 'You do not have brains to understand what I am saying' And even when we would walk in corridors he would stop us and comment ' Oh, are you from Morocco, terrorists are from there!' And when we would go to ask him for internet tickets he would make us wait or make us come back and ridicule our etiquettes even when we would be perfectly well behaved. This man made our life and experience of Berlin, Germany so bad and difficult that a lot of us stopped cooking in the kitchen even when we are all social entrepreneurs and on strict budget. Our school continuously tried to communicate strictly with him but he wouldn't budge from his behaviour. It was tough for our school to shift 18 of us somewhere else in the middle of the program in peak travel season in Berlin. It made ways for us to fell better by opening the school for longer hours and giving us the keys etc. But we have resolved to take this man down as we don't want any other person to suffer like this. And please beware he is perfectly nice to Germans but selectively troubled us from other countries.Please don't stay in this hotel if you want to enjoy a super excellent place like Berlin where all the rest of the people and experiences were super duper nice." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg187323d578393r399500765Hotel103Berlin.html,Date of stay: June 2016,Europe,Germany,Berlin,unknown,WARNING: Not safe to live,"I've spent quiet a long time here, long enough to know whether it's an OK place to live and I'd say no it's not. I had no other choice but to stay at this hotel for 8 weeks because Berlin was full during summer 2016. This hotel wasn't my choice but we were made to stay here by our hotel.The hotel manager / owner Alberto is a racist man who bullied me and my friends throughout our stay.

We only booked initially for 2 nights then a further three due to not knowing the costs of the area. We were totally ripped off due to the colour of our skin being white. We paid 1500 rupees per night after some haggling over the price, we than spoke with other residents who stated that they were only paying 500 rupees per night. These were indians. They also tried to rent us a bike for 1000 rupees per day which we found out later to be only 150 per day. The room had A/C but was extremely basic, we found a better apartment 5 mins down the road with A/C, a swimming pool, cleaning everyday not per week with non racist management for only 500 rupees per night. My advice is 'if you are a white tourist do not stay at Sunset cottages unless you are prepared to be taken for a ride on the racist wheel." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg297549d5123245r616309974NubiaAquaBeachResortHurghadaRedSeaandSinai.html,Date of stay: August 2018,Africa,Egypt,Red Sea and Sinai,unknown,VERY POOR HOTEL,AVOID THIS HOTEL AT ALL COSTS. Rude and aggressive management and poor customer service and blatantly RACIST. They wanted all the women dressed in burkinis to use the last pool only. When we refused they got angry. Absolutely appalling attitude. The rooms given were not the ones promised. The lunch and evening meal are exactly the same. There was no fresh fruit ever. The fruit provided was on the verge of going off. -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg297549d5123245r615972499NubiaAquaBeachResortHurghadaRedSeaandSinai.html,Date of stay: September 2018,Africa,Egypt,Red Sea and Sinai,unknown,Please avoid at all cost read all UK reviews..NOT 5,"ARROGANT RUDE STAFF We travelled as a large group and upon our arrival we were told that despite having booked and paid for 5 rooms, only 4 rooms are available. After arguing they then gave us 5 rooms that were to be changed the following day as we had booked 3 pool view rooms. Pics to follow This didn't happen either. The following day the rooms were changed but not to what we had paid for. Arguing with the staff was futile as nothing came of it. The hotel management was so poor, arrogant , rude and unhelpful staff. It's like once they have got your money and in their hell hole of hotel they don't care what your query is. We were just taken to our rooms, not told about meal times, activities, who to contact etc .MOSQUITOS The hotel is riddled with mosquitos, never have I experienced this before at this level. We had all purchased mosquito repellents but the moment we got out from our rooms to the lobby they were everywhere. FOODThe food leaves alot to be desired... same lunch dinner is served no variety at all. Hence why we ate out every evening despite being all inclusive. You'd think you can't go wrong with breakfast but that was so basic, even skipped that as i was sick of the tasteless omlette and doughnuts everyday.Please do not be decieved by how the hotel looks from the outside.... it is beautiful but it's a shambles from inside. CLEANLINESS The pools that were ""allocated"" for modest swimwear were filthy; leaves, plastic , wood floating around, not just 1 odd day everyday. Outside my room there was a travel cot that had been dumped there for the whole week I was there and had not moved. Dishes and cutlery left in the corridor and not cleared. see pics attached THE LIFTIf you happen to be on the 3rd or 4th floor then you are gone... 1st day I climbed 8 sets of stairs to get to the 4th floor as the lift looked very unsafe dangerous. There was no second door to close so you can see the bare brick, wires etc as you are going up.REVIEWS ON TRIPADVISORWe had actually read some reviews and chose the hotel however if you look at the British or should I say well written reviews they are mainly negative. We met a British family who shared the same views as us and hated every moment of being there. RACISTThe most bizarre experience of my life. I was told because of wearing modest swimwear there was a separate area for us where we would feel comfortable. that was for me to decide not them Out of the 6 pools I paid for I was able to use only 1. However on most of the days there were women in bikinis in the modest swimwear pool... this was clearly double standards... whilst I wasn't allowed in the rest of the pools she was . Told the manager who didn't do much . ANIMATION TEAM REMIND ME WHO ARE THEY Having been to several different hotels we were dissappointed with the animation team. When you think it can't get worse it does.. They walked around asking every single person but our group, on one of the days I asked why do you single my family out His response was because you are Egyptian I'm not Egyptian and people don't usually join in esp women. Clear discrimination and making assumptions...So they presumed that every single brown faced person is Egyptian and don't like taking part in activities. Most ridiculous reason. They didn't even ask any of the children or men to join in if they presumed women would be offended. Maro was walking around with a clipboard and hounding the rest to join whilst we watched. They have no sense of logic or reasoning.. so better to give upNO WIFI There is no free WiFi as advertised on the website.

He was rude to us from the very first moment he laid eyes on us until he kicked us out on the last day without the breakfast we had paid for. He called us ""you people"" so many times, I lost count. And, when we confronted him on his racism, he asked if we were going to ""assault"" him, as if black people automatically resort to violence.When we enquired about boat cruises, after seeing that the facility had 2 boats, he told us that their license had expired. We later found out from his staff that this was not the case.When we made the reservation, I called to enquire about braai facilities. I was told there were none. At no point, before our arrival, was I told that braaing was not allowed at the facility. We came with our own portable braai stand. We ensured that we braaied far away from the thatched roofs and organised fire extinguishers. The other guests also used our braai stand as they were also not aware of the situation with the braai. When we were getting ready to check out on the last day, the rude manager had confiscated our braai stand. He told us that ""you people have no respect"" said things like ""I don't want you people coming here and thinking you can do whatever you want"". He then proceeded to kick us off ""his premises"" without allowing us to have the breakfast we had already paid for.Facilities: The resort has thatched roofs and is located in the Vaal, a notoriously warm area. They did not have fans in any of the rooms. The beds did not have flat sheets in the beds so you struggled to sleep in the heat as you were forced to use the duvets and it was not. When the town ran out of ice and we purchased some from the resort, the racist manager proceeded to scream at his staff for selling ice to ""us people"". Only one pot on the stove was working. There is only one shower in the threebedroom chalet, so showering was a very long endeavour. The shower was blocked, flooded and sprayed water everywhere.Location and nonmanagerial staff: The resort is situated right by the river, with a nice view at the back. The staff was friendly and helping, with the exception of the manager. That is the only good thing I have to say about the resort.Stay away, especially of nonwhite." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg312589d7855728r336578295CliviaLodgeandConferenceCentreVanderbijlparkGauteng.html,Date of stay: January 2016,Africa,South Africa,Gauteng,unknown,This is the worst lodge I have ever been to,"While the location is beautiful and the staff are friendly, cleanliness is mediocre at best and the owner is incredibly rude and disrespectful and kept referring to us 'you people', in addition to using many other racially charged terms. We were told that we cannot sit in certain areas of the premises, for no reason, there were no nearby Braai facilities, and while there is an onsite boat that is available for hire, we were told that we cannot make use of it for no legitimate reason. This place has a lot of potential but the owner, unfortunately, does not know how to treat his guests and turned this into a terrible experience!" -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg298033d315217r499496284LabernaHotelMarmarisMarmarisDistrictMuglaProvinceTurkishAegeanCoast.html,Date of stay: June 2017,Europe,Turkey,Turkish Aegean Coast,unknown,Possibly the WORST in Marmaris,"This was definitely the worst hotel I've ever stayed at, they had everything from; out of date food, racism to physical assault, the full package. You're not allowed to bring in any food or drinks from outside the hotel as they want to be able to sell the same food/drinks at a much higher price to you. They do push you alot to buy meals from the hoteI. I bought breakfast thinking it will atleast be at a decent standard but what I got was beans on toast where you can see the toast had mould growing on the side crust. After that I didn't eat from the hotel again. I would honestly not recommend anyone buying food from the actual hotel. The hotel staff are incredibly rude and unprofessional. Many of the days when we had room servive clean up they would always forget towels. We went down to reception 3 times to ask for towels as each time they 'forgot' and recieved them about 2 hours later and one time we just got it ourselves from the room service people in the hall way. For some reason this hotel seems to have racism down as a normality among staff. The racist comments i heard against Asians, and Black people in particular were disgusting, they're too offensive to write here, but I'm still shocked, I could not believe the language that they were using. The lobby was the only place with wifi, three different days we went down at around 10 11 o'Clock pm to use the lobby wifi and the person there would turn off the router so we go back to our rooms and leave him there on his own. We'd be as quiet as possible but it was clear he just didn't want us there at all. No other hotel I've been to have ever treated customers like that. You have to pay 40 for air conditioning on top For 7days , even though nearly all of the other hotels near by have that as standard. We decided to buy the air conditioning anyway on the second day, and asked a different member of staff, who then bumped the price to 50. We were confused as they had already told us the price everyone pays so we spoke to a different person who said it was 40, then asked why this other guy said its 50. After speaking to him he said he was apparently just joking, which wasn't very funny to me...their hunger for money has blinded them from providing a decent level of customer service. Lastly I'm going to talk about physical assault. I went on this holiday with a group of friends, one of them litteraly got physically assaulted by the night manager in front of my eyes full on punches to the face and kick to his shin. Shocked is an understatement. It was a completely unprovoked attack mind you this particular night manager had previously made racist comments toward me and my friend earlier in the week. I've never witnessed such disgusting racist behaviour from any sort of hotel or even person before. If me or my friends didn't intervene the injuries to his face would've been much worse, the night manager then continued to threaten my friend. Saying that he won't be able to call the police because he 'was good friends with them' and 'they wont believe anything we say' and that 'he knows alot of people around here' and yes, these are his exact words. Being threatened in a country like Turkey was scarey and made us feel like there was nothing we can do, just take the assault and pray we make it home in one piece, this Hotel was clearly anything but safe. We had to even call the British Embassy, who sent over a rep to give us advise on what our options were. I don't wish that kind of treatment on anybody. Overall, this hotel is possibly one of the worst in Marmaris. There are alot of other hotels in the area with much better standards that cost nearly the same or just a little more with much better customer service and safety. For your own health, safety and security I would not recommend this hotel at all." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg298033d315217r499495897LabernaHotelMarmarisMarmarisDistrictMuglaProvinceTurkishAegeanCoast.html,Date of stay: June 2017,Europe,Turkey,Turkish Aegean Coast,unknown,Appauling and racist!! ,Wifi gets switched off after half 9 every night.Being abused by staff because we decided to eat out instead of purchasing the OVERPRICED food within the hotel!

However there are some staff who are nice, the guy with the long hair at reception was lovely, also another young guy at the reception who doesn't speak much English. Also Vicky and her husband were lovely. I did not like the strict rule about how you were not allowed food from outside, but I do understand their reason for having this rule. I would definitely not stay at Laberna again as the way we were treated by a particular night staff member was completely unacceptable. We asked the day staff if we could arrange a meeting with the management about this but got nowhere. Also, when this same member of staff who was racist served us for breakfast he messed up our order and we were over charged.

But as for the staff, more so the big guy in tattoos who looks like he just got discharged from the marines, was just the most consistently, passive aggressive intimidating guy I've ever come across. On many many occasions, especially when trying to have my measly disappointing breakfast, id have him march up to myself and my friends complaining that we dont purchase drinks from the hotel and the hotel needs to make money esp in the off peak seasons. And as far as i was concerned, that was not non of their business where i chose to eat and drink during my visit. The breakfast was really crap, limited choices. Honestly it was better to have had nothing at all. And on the day of checkout, we got accused of taking one beer out of the mini fridge. And non of us even drink. So we disputed and apparently it was the house keeping staff that had made some ""mistake"", the same ""mistake"" they made moving my mates room key around which could have meant paying 50 for a replacement. Snide little F.....s. Anyhoo. The pool wasn't so bad, if you're over 6 foot that is. I would honestly say, stay clear from this hotel, especially if you are Asian. Clear hints of racism received.

I have never been treated this bad in a five star luxury hotel in my entire life. My white Australian friend and I Asian recently stayed at the St Regis Macau for one night during our trip around Macau and China. I am a SPG Gold member. When we checked out, the front desk staff asked about our stay, I said we were happy, except we did not get upgraded to an enhanced room, which is a STANDARD benefit for Gold member. We booked a Cotai view room, and we did not even get the view from our bed. All we could see was another hotel, we had to stand by the window in order to see the Cotai view. I believed we had been downgraded. The staff apologized and told her Room Operations Manager, Aris Azhar about this. The manager then walked to my friend, greeted him by shaking his hand and handed a business card to my friend to apologize, and promised there will be an upgrade for the next stay. I was the actual Gold member and the one paying for this stay, yet the manager had zero communication with me. I put my hand out wanted to shake hand with him, but he pretended that he did not see me, walked around and went to greet my friend. I was very embarrassed and felt disrespected in front of my friend and other hotel guests, and I told the Manager that I was the one who booked this room, and he only responded with an ""Oh, sorry, hope you enjoyed your stay"". I wanted to make a complaint to the hotel GM or VP but we were in a hurry to take the next ferry. I really hate that he discriminated Asian in an Asia city, and behaved like a snob to look down on Asian. I cannot believe that it's 2018 and I, as a young professional hedge fund analyst had to faced with such disgusting RACIST behavior in my own region.

Our first impressions of the hotel were very good. The reception area is immaculate with friendly attentive staff manning the desk. We checked in and made our way to our rooms on the second floor which was our first experience of their awful elevators. They sometimes took 510 minutes to arrive and frequently missed our floor despite us pressing the button and it illuminating. The hotel is located right on the beach and a short walk to the main town area with shops, cafes and restaurants.The rooms are extremely basic for a 4 star hotel lacking in all the basic facilities that you would normally expect. There was no kettle in the room, no fridge, no drawers, no iron, the towels were barely big enough to cover your body hand towel size and no adequate lighting for the evening. The bathrooms are very dated and ours in particular mine and my girlfriends was very dirty. The bath and sink looked like they had not been cleaned at all. The shower curtain looked as though it had not been changed between guests too. Nonetheless we did not let this ruin our holiday as we did not spend much time in the room.The bar is open from 9am until 1am but as an all inclusive guest you are only able to order between 10:30am and midnight. This includes ordering basics such as tea and coffee which as stated is awkward since there are no tea making facilities in the room. Something that is not clearly advertised is the different levels of all inclusive. By default you are booked as a premium guest but you are extremely limited to what you could order for free. You are given the opportunity to upgrade to gold all inclusive for 25 euros per person per day. On a positive note the bar staff were very friendly and made everyone feel welcome. We had some issues with the language barrier at times but they try their best to understand.You are given 2 cards per person on arrival at the hotel. One card is for orders at the bar and for access to the restaurant and the second card is for the glasses for your drinks. This means you have to queue to get your drink then queue again to return your glass to receive your card back. This kept the bar constantly busy due to the amount of queueing that you have to do. We gave up with the glass card by day number two and just accepted thin plastic cups instead. Their drinks menu is very confusing as it only shows what each drink costs for non all inclusive guests and a discounted price for the different levels of all inclusive. It would have helped greatly to see what all inclusive guests can actually order. They had a different cocktail on offer everyday which was free for all inclusive which we enjoyed.On to the restaurant which is very large with adequate seating for all guests. We only found seating an issue when a very large French party arrived and reserved a quarter of the restaurant every night but only reserve the large tables. We were in a party of nine therefore also required a large table therefore were sometimes either split up or had to squeeze onto a table for six. The food was fantastic every day with a wide range of choice but we found it was not clearly labeled therefore was actually unsure what we were eating sometimes. This did not pose a problem to us since none of us have allergies or restrictions but found it important to mention for awareness. Baked beans were regularly stone cold but there are microwaves available. We found it strange that you are unable to use the drinks machines during lunch and evening meal times, you could only queue and order at the small bar in the restaurant which was always packed so ended up going without drinks most of the time. The restaurant staff were attentive and helpful and always greeted us with a friendly 'Hola'.Evening inhouse entertainment was very basic and repetitive consisting of kids disco for 1 hour from 9pm then either live singing or just music played loudly. On our second night we were excited to find a movie theme quiz was scheduled so we put our names down for it. This was almost cancelled due to many complaints from a select few from the large French group. When put to a vote which should NOT have happened it went ahead. It was rushed and was ruined by the few French guests shouting comments out throughout the quiz and putting their fingers in their ears like you would see from a child. Live music was planned after the quiz however one of the rude French guests insisted his phone was plugged in and French music played for the rest of the evening rather than the international playlist as played on all other nights. To our disgust the entertainer allowed for the French guest to plug in his phone and therefore the nonFrench guests left.Although the majority of the French party were friendly, we still encountered incidents throughout the week that ruined our experience. Any time any children two of which were in our group were playing, they would shout at them and tell them to shush which is completely unacceptable in a hotel that advertises themselves as a family hotel. The children were regularly bored as there was nothing for them to do either in the hotel or in the resort. During a busy period in the restaurant a member of our party and a French man accidentally bumped into each other whilst reaching for food. My brother in law apologised and the other man accepted and then asked my brother in law ""are you English"" he responded ""yes"" to which the French man replied by rolling his eyes and saying ""ugh"" and then walked away. If we were sensitive we could have said that was a racist comment.The two outdoor pools that are advertised are both small, particularly the child's pool which could only be approximately the size of a king sized bed. The main pool is a lot smaller than you would expect for a hotel of this size. No floats or inflatables are allowed in the pool which again limits activities. There is nowhere to get changed near the pool but you are unable to walk through the hotel in wet clothes.I have noticed comments aimed at the large Welsh family in other reviews. Other than them being rude to the lifeguard once we did not find them that much of an issue. People need to remember they were on holiday too.Overall the hotel does have it's issues. It is dated and is in need of a makeover which I believe is currently in progress. We managed to enjoy our holiday but we will not be returning to the hotel and would not recommend to families or the under 50s." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg652134d566764r144405138HTOPCaletaPalacePlatjadAroCostaBravaProvinceofGironaCatalonia.html,Date of stay: October 2012,Europe,Spain,Catalonia,unknown,Wouldn't recommend,"I don't usually write reviews, I read them and think people are being overly picky but I thought I should as there as so many reviews that are complete contrast so I would have my say. This is coming from someone who has slumped it in Prague to top notch in Turkey so I think I will be honest and fair. Firstly the location, Brilliant..... The beach although is more stoney is very nice, in a little cove hiding away around the corner is miles of clean beach, very relaxed and a place you can really relax so full marks there. The hotel, firstly you have to pay 4 euros a day for parking which is abit harsh considering your staying there but I can live with that. The check in was ok no issues really, if you want a safety deposit box it's 35 euros which you get 10 back although we were told on 3 occasions that it would all be refunded to when it came to check out I found out this wasn't true but at 6am and heading for a flight you can't stand and argue. We went up to the room and the first thing we saw was the bathroom which was a good size and was surprisingly good. That's where it ended. The room is as basic as it came with a couple of beds a table and chair which were pointless, the smallest tv possible on a rusty metal shelf unit. The room seemed grubby with racist writing on the wall. I had read on here that some people weren't happy with the room they were changed no problem. They were lucky as I asked 3 times for a different room and was fobbed off every time being told to come back later. To the point we got fed up asking and gave up. The drinks are served in small plastic glasses, that we got over but when some of the bar staff didn't fill the glasses up left a sour taste in the mouth as we wanted to relax not get up every 2 minutes after our shot of lager. We got over that Aswell. The food......... The breakfast was always the same which was fine as you can't really change it there was a good choice. Main meals for lunch and dinner were quite varied although no wonder there weren't any pigs about because pork was on every day and night without fail. The problem with the food was I can count on one had the amount of hot or even warm food I ate. I don't think the hot plates worked as the food was usually cold. Deserts were the same every meal without fail but I was ok with that as I don't eat deserts and my son was happy with ice cream. As for the staff, I was surprised more staff didn't speak more English due to the amount of English guests but that wasn't the problem. The problem was that there were a few rude staff, one waiter stood there shouting at me in Spainish because I assume we sat on a table he had just reset but then there weren't any others so what did he expect us to do sit on the floor Good job I didn't understand him as he may just have got a mouthful back. The main people who managed the door to the restaurant were very good, friendly and remembered how many we're in each group. The entertainment wasn't back and full marks to the dancing guy who did his best to get all the kids up dancing, he was a trier. The snacks are available at certain times and usually deep fried something. We didn't eat it so can't comment on the taste. The hotel also states that at 11pm they ask for respect and quiet but that didn't happen and on too many occasions when my son was trying to sleep kids were screaming in the hall and on occasions a group of French guests stood virtually outside our door having a meeting for about an hour before I opened the door and my face made it clear I wasn't impressed. Downstairs there were times when there weren't enough seats for the entertainment. There are also a few games to play at a euro each but there were a lot of occasions where the machines took someone's money without anything back and then the machines out of order. To sum it wasn't a great stay. Maybe it was a bad week but I always give an honest opinion and I think this is an accurate review. Anything else I can answer feel free to ask. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone who asks though." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg652134d566764r81358422HTOPCaletaPalacePlatjadAroCostaBravaProvinceofGironaCatalonia.html,Date of stay: September 2010,Europe,Spain,Catalonia,unknown,Lovely hotelforget the bad reviews!!!,"We stayed at the caleta palace in september 2010, the hotel is set on a lovely pebble beach with nice walks to either the main strip or a secluded little cove. The rooms were always cleaned every day with fresh towels, food was good and something for everyone, bar was good and we were not restricted on drinks at all. All the staff were very friendly. We were worried as people had said things about racisms towards the english tourists but this is rubbish, everyone was treated the same. The only difference is the staff speak more to the spanish guests im guessing because its easier to comminicate when its their language. For a cheap all inclusive u dont expect 5 star luxury if u want that go elsewhere, but if u want a friendly value for money family orientated hotel, close to the beach with a good bar caleta palace is the place to be.

Got to our room and found that it smelt of dog. Dogs are actually allowed to stay here!!! Room was straight out of the sixties and twin beds had waterproof sheets on that crinkled everytime you moved. Breakfast next morning was plentiful and awful, unless you are a fan of cold fried food, Lunches and evening meals were again plentiful and again awful, You could have as much as you wanted, just dont step on the roaches.No entertainment at night only the bar or go out. Apart from Benji at reception, whos mum is from Oldham,the rest of the male staff are rude,ignorant and possibly racist. I say this because they were fine with other spaniards or germans or french.Service at the bar is in 1/2 pint glasses only half full. Staff are not in the least bit friendly or helpfull, and for the record, my wife is a fluent spanish speaker and I can understand lots of the language so we did try, The day before we left,we asked reception to check our pick up for the airport and we were told to go out and use a coin phone in the street. The shame is that the location,the beach and the town are really nice. If you can get all in for about 20 give it a go and eat out.

I never saw a hairdressers here , the tv consisted of eurosport and cnn as only english speaking chammels and that packed up after a few days.

This place is the worst i've ever had the misfortune to have paid good money to be insulted. firstly, we arrived late to this hell and therefore it was morning when we realised that it was a haven for OAP's with zimmer frames at breakfast. I'm not quite that old yet and felt a little out of place. On the notice board bingo in spanish was the ""entertainment"" along with ballroom dancing! Nearly cried! On arrival, we were given a rules and regulation handout. On this information such as meal times and the times of the bar was printed. We opted for the all inc before going and noticed that the bar closed at 12 midnight and thought the time was good. However, one particular barman made it very obvious that he did not like the Brits and was very rude to a number of people. He asked me if I wore a watch sneeringly and sarcastically when I asked for a Cola at 11:05. They changed the rules and closed the bar at 11pm When I pointed out that the bar openings were printed, They pretended that they did not understand English although understood how to speak with sarcasm! I am not a lager lout and drink little or no alcohol but the bar really was the only entertainment!. I tried to ask for things in Spanish at all times. Meal times were worse! After selecting food from a limited and tastless buffet, you would be ushered out of your seat and herded along with other brits with wrist bands to alternative seats. This happened every night and you were never sure where to sit as the head waiter kept changing his mind and barked in spanish. He just kept ""moving the goalpost."" As other poster has said, no reps or outside contacts, nothing to do,awful beach, awful hotel. I could go on but I think you get the gist. It was the second most miserable week of my life. The other being stuck in hospital with an infection.

Things stolen and rude staff,"We second the review below that says if it wasnt for the Mediterranean Sea being on the doorstep, this place would be out of business Upon first arrival, it seemed like a nice place to stay, thats where the word nice stops in this review. We were shown to our room/cabin, which is when we quickly realised was more of a shoebox, which can only just fit two people comfortably... it was not pleasant at all! Basic hygiene was nonexistent and it seems as though the place hasnt been cleaned for a while. The beach is what you expect. But be warned, it costs upwards of 11 euros to even sit on one of the beach chairs, with absolutely NO sign telling you of this only a man who comes around taking payment. This came as a shock to not only us but at least 3 other groups around us we all vacated immediately.The bar area was completely cringeworthy, where despite people attempting to have a good time, on more than one occasion we could hear staff making crude and creepy comments to young girls. It was also incredibly overpriced be prepared to shell out a lot of money for less than mediocre.What takes the cake however, were the staff, particularly in reception and in the eating/restaurant areas. Rude and lazy seem to come to mind. One of my possessions which holds a lot of sentiment went missing when we ate, and despite us asking staff for help finding it, none of them could be bothered one even said while laughing that one of the many Chinese tourists must have taken it. Lets add the word Racist to the description of this place... If they were even slightly helpful, it wouldnt have been the biggest deal, however there was no courtesy at all. IF YOUVE MANGED TO READ THIS FAR DOWN, I HOPE YOU DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND NOT BOOK THIS PLACE. Were definitely not your usual complainers and this is the first time Ive written a review about a place, its such a shame it had to be a negative one." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg6845054d275784r382189069ParadiseBeachResortParadiseBeachMykonosCycladesSouthAegean.html,Date of stay: June 2016,Europe,Greece,South Aegean,unknown,"Sexist, Racist, Overall Disgusting Service","Im honestly still in a bit of shock regarding just how terribly I was treated at this hostel. In fact, I dont think Ive ever been treated more rudely by any member of the service industry anywhere in the worldand I am an experienced traveler who has stayed at hundreds of hostels/hotels/campsites/etc. all over the globe.Commence rant: I showed up tired after a long day of traveling you know the typenothing works the way its supposed to, and now that youve finally arrived youre just ready to lie out on the beach and relax. I had booked a fairly nice private room, having mostly outgrown the dorm scene. Checkin was going okI had handed over my passport presumably so it could be photocopied, as has been the case at other hostels that have wanted a look at my passport, and I was getting the little speech about where the bar/beach/rooms were. Just as we were about to walk over to my actual room, I realized I hadnt gotten my passport back, so I politely asked for it before I left. This is when everything took an abrupt turn for the worse. The main receptionist who had, for lack of a better way to describe it, a fairly derivative hipster mustache that would have been cool in Brooklyn in about 2008 laughed at me condescendingly and told me that the hotel policy was to confiscate all passports and that I would get mine back when I checked out. This surprised me, as Ive never encountered such a policy before; I told the guy that I wasnt really comfortable handing over my passport like that I think its pretty obvious why, and in response, he laughed condescendingly once more and embarked on an attempt to show off to a couple of fellow female guests who had just walked in the door.This attempt involved a number of tactics. One was to spew indiscriminate insults in my direction. Another was to laugh at me some more and call me a hysterical woman who didnt know how to calm down I really dont think I was being particularly hysterical either. Another was to rant about the fact that I was an American and thus, presumably, entitled and whiny. Still another was to take the antiAmerican posturing to the next level by being pretty shockingly racist direct quote: We dont have beards here; we arent Muslims. You dont have to be afraid of us.. And so on and so forth. I wound up just paying for the hotel room and then booking another room at a Starwood property. Once I got there, I burst into tears from a combination of exasperation at my treatment at the original hostel and relief that the receptionists at the new hotel were treating me like a human being. Reading back over this, I dont think Ive really been able to convey just how bullied and ridiculed I felt. I also dont think that as a solo female traveler its unreasonable to want to have control over my passports whereabouts. At some point in the exchange, it emerged that they would have accepted my drivers license as well that wouldnt have worked for me in any case as Id rented a car, but at the end of the day, the passport wasnt in itself the crux of the issuemy treatment was and for the record, the place where I rebooked did not attempt to confiscate my passport. So lookmaybe you'll have an ok time here some people seem to have enjoyed it, but I think it's a bit of a crapshoot. Fortunately, I'm 30 now, done with law school, and have a pretty comfortable budget, so paying double for a night was not the end of the world for me, but I've been on a shoestring budget before and know what it's like to be 22 and flat broke. If it were me, I just wouldn't risk staying here; Mykonos has plenty of beach party places to visit its not like this island is off the radar.

My parents who are Caucasian rented a room for a week to celebrate my Mom's retirement from the United States Postal Service after 20 years of service. When booking the room they mentioned why they were going to be staying down at the beach and that some family and friends would be visiting during their stay. The representative over the phone told them that would be fine and that they even had some picnic tables they could use down by the pool. They checked in on Wednesday, July 20th and had some friends come to visit throughout the first couple days with no problem. Keep in mind that their friends that came to visit the first couple days were all Caucasian. They were able to use their pool and spent time in the room socializing with them. Saturday, July 23rd was when I, my fianc, and our children finally made it down to spend the day with them. My father, who is a pilot, flew my Mom down to the Keys for breakfast and I was left a key at the front desk so I could set up some cupcakes, food and decorations for when they came back. When picking up the key from the front desk I had no problem, the front desk attendant didnt even ask for my ID remember I am also Caucasian. I got back in the truck where my fianc and children were waiting so we could unload the food and decorations. As soon as we got up to the room, this was within 510 minutes. I noticed that the phone was ringing. I didnt answer it because I thought it was someone for my parents and that they could reach them on their cell phone. It continued to ring and by this time my sister n law had arrived to help me prepare some food. The phone kept ringing so she answered it and said a man identified himself as the manager and asked for my Mom. She said she will be back shortly but can I help you with something He then said that there are too many people going back and forth to the room and wanted to make it clear that any visitors are not allowed to use any of their facilities and need to leave the premises by 8 pm. I contacted my parents to let them know of the phone call. When they arrived back on the property my Mom was crying because she wanted to enjoy the day in the pool and on the beach with her Grandchildren. Her and my Dad went down to the office and were told things like we dont want people coming here from Miami to party and we dont allow frats to have parties here and that they have rules in place to avoid these things. My parents informed them that there were no rules broken and they were very confused as to why their family was not allowed to visit them. We are NOT from Miami and we are NOT a frat They then said that if they cant use the pool we can just take our stuff down to the beach and they were told they couldnt do that either and that the beach was private and they would call the cops on them!!! This whole conversation was recorded and is still available. After hearing the recording with all ignorant remarks about being from Miami and frat parties I became upset and realized that all of this happened as soon as my fianc and children, who are Hispanic, stepped out of the vehicle. They thought that we were Spanish people from Miami and were coming to have a big loud party when in actuality just wanted to enjoy time with family and friends. I then went down to inform the front desk that they made my mother cry on a day that was supposed to be a once in a lifetime celebration and that she cant even go swimming in their facilities with her Grandchildren. I voiced to her that as soon as the managerwho never showed his face saw my fianc get out of his truck they stereotyped him due to the way he looked. The front desk attendant then said that we DO stereotype so she admitted it. I told her for future reference if they dont allow visitors they should inform them of that when booking the room instead of making it seem like it is ok and even offering the picnic tables over the phone. She said she will note it for the future and then I left. Basically, my point is that if you have darker skin you will probably not be allowed at this resort and will definitely not be able to use their facilities. This was a horrible experience and the Better Business Bureau will be contacted for this act of discrimination." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg34231d560352r295355657GulfviewManorResortFortMyersBeachFlorida.html,Date of stay: July 2015,United States,Florida FL,Southwest Gulf Coast,unknown,Great condo TERRIBLE management!,The room and view was spectacular.

Every year the facility has had something new or updated. We come here because it's a great place to stay. It's very clean, beautiful, and most of all, safe. Ken and the staff are very professional and courteous to everyone. We recently stayed in our favorite apartment 34, which is located on the third floor. The same days that coincided with the group that are leaving such ridiculous reviews. We were awakened by this group on their first night here around 1:30AM as they stood outside of our apartment door. They we extremely loud, with absolutely no regards to any other guests at the resort. Within a couple of minutes, I heard Ken the manager telling them to quite down. They were arguing with him saying he couldn't keep them from talking. He insisted that they return to their apartments and told them they were breaking the noise curfew. He told them that if they didn't want to follow the rules, they could leave. They finally started leaving as Ken continued to take their verbal abuse.We also were at the pool the afternoon when most of the women and teenagers from the group had their food and drinks in and around the water. As Ken was walking by, he looked over at the pool and saw them with their food and drinks. He walked up to the pool fence and asked them to get their food and drinks out of the pool. He told them they could only have it at the tables. Someone made a smart remark. Ken pointed to the Pool Rules sign that says that food and drinks aren't allowed in the pool. He then turned and walked away.I just can't believe how they are twisting everything around. Ken is definitely not a racist. Over 60 of his staff are Hispanic. Most of them have been there as long as Ken. It's pretty obvious that the group is doing everything the can to take make Ken into the bad guy. This is a great place to stay because of Ken enforcing the rules.

The condo was spotless and very roomy. We left the sliding glass door open to enjoy the sound of the gulf. Relaxed on the porch to a beautiful beach view. The property is right on the beach with sugar white sand cleaned every morning. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and responsive. We asked for a better corkscrew and one was delivered in minutes. A mixer didn't work and a new one was delivered while we were out. We were offered beach towels on loan and lots of local information. I was pleasantly surprised to find our room had wireless internet, which worked beautifully. They kitchen was fairly well stocked with dishes, pots, pans, cutlery. They also had a DVD/VHS player available on loan as well. Had to go to the laundry room for ironing board access due to the manager's having prior guests burn holes in the bedspreads. They are planning additional services to upgrade the star rating more parking and a restaurant. I just hope it doesn't increase the price too much or make too popular we want to return! The rooms are private and quiet racial/ethnic diversity was welcomed. We saw families and couples most had stayed multiple times.Some info: We were there over spring break. The property is on the quiet end of the beach but traffic over the causeway bridge can be awful, especially morning and evening. Best to go the long way around on Bonita Beach Road and save the time and frustration.Suggestions for improvement: Iron and ironing boards in the rooms, a decent corkscrew, curtains in the bedroom for more privacy they have vertical blinds, but curtains would be a nice addition." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg35352d236282r119206432QualityInnWashingtonGeorgia.html,Date of stay: November 2010,United States,Georgia GA,Washington,unknown,Racist front desk clerk named Pat,"I DO NOT recommend this hotel. My husband and I went to Durhamtown and needed a place to stay that accepted medium size dogs for the weekend. I made reservations a week before and called to get information about their pet policy. After 8 hours drive in heavy rain, we finally got to the hotel at 4am to discover their pet policy was not what they said it was on the phone or online and they were going to charge us more. First the hotel is really what you get for the price. The place smells, lights dont work, bathroom and bed dont seemed to be cleaned very often. The mini refrigerator had food from the last guest and microwave was dirty inside. That said we didn't expect much so we just endured it and I wouldnt come here to give a bad review just for these reasons.At check out, however, I decided to complain about the extra charge. I have never experienced discrimination against my nationality until this old lady named Pat that worked in the front desk of Jameson Inn Washington asked me ""Are you a travel agent"" ""Where are you from anyway"" followed by a pause making a superior face ""You are not American."" and after that accusation ""You should watch out!""First Im not an agent, but what did she care if Im an agent or not Whats up with this interrogation Second I have all the right in the world to complain about an unexpected extra charge of any kind, and me being an american or not should have no bearing on the situation. I thought hotels were aware that foreigners stay in them while traveling. Apparently not at this cy hotel. Third what the hell should I watch out for Am I supposed to be an illegal alien, in fear of her calling immigration She should be the one watching out for her job because I truly hope she has been fired by now.Pat is an old lady who needs to realize that the racist attitudes of the old deep south have no place in 21st century US and is quite lucky that her racist tirade didn't earn her employer the discrimination lawsuit her actions richly deserved." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg737152d11864970r464404444GranCaribeVillaIguanaCayoLargoCuba.html,Date of stay: February 2017,Caribbean,Cuba,Cayo Largo,unknown,Full of Quebecer Racists,They treat the Cubans like dirt and anyone who is not french speaking very badly.

VERY RACIST!,"We visit Cabo from Oregon often and usually enjoy it. At least 7 times a year. We are a diverse family. I have very light skin, my husband is African/Mexican and has very dark skin. Unfortunately we run into this situation where resorts in Cabo dont want Mexicans in them. It is getting better but it still happens on occasion. Ten years ago, it was much worse. Today my mother and children took a taxi from Pueblo Bonita Sunset to Cascadas to eat lunch and were welcomed to enter the resort from the street side. We walked all the way though the resort without a problem. We looked like the typical gringo tourists. My husband was already at the beach and met us from the beach access side near the restaurant. We ate and did some pottery painting. It was a nice day. My husband accompanied us today o take a taxi back to our resort. As we were leaving all together to go back to our resort, a security guard followed us and told us that we could not leave through the way we entered, he wanted us to walk around the side of the resort because my husband is Mexican and this was private property. We eat at Cascadas about 20 times a year. I walk though the resort every time. Then when my husband accompanies me, the resort security harasses us. This is enough. I needed to tell the public what happens here if you have dark skin at this resort. The restaurant has never treated us bad but the security are racist and I am not going to let my daughter witness this type of discrimination. This is a photo of the supervisor who I tried to talk to about the discrimination. He was even more racist than the security." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg187392d572854r486043704HotelExcelsiorLudwigshafenLudwigshafenRhinelandPalatinate.html,Date of stay: May 2017,Europe,Germany,RhinelandPalatinate,unknown,"Worst ever experience, racist behaviour towards Indians","It was a nightmarish experience for our group , the lifts were not working in the morning and all of us had to carry our own luggages.

The rooms are decent but their service and attitude downright crappy and here are some details:1. Everyone from the reception staff to those at their restaurant/coffee shop are cold and barely smile. Probably if we had visited them in summer, they would have been cordial.2. Their elevators suck and are an antithesis to German engineering. So, if you are taking the elevator with a bag or two, factor 20 minutes travel time. No kidding, I am serious. They seem to have their own mind, close too quickly, never arrive.3. Their breakfast spread is poor and their attitude towards nongermans bordering on being racist. We were told that the breakfast is served at a restaurant next to their hotel within the same compound and not at the coffeshop inside the hotel for those part of group bookings. We walk about 50 steps out in cold weather and then could not enter because the had lost their door keys, so we had to hang around in the cold for a good 10 mins and then ushered in via their kitchen. Right throughout the breakfast service I never saw any of their staff make an appearance or even offer a courtesy smile. 4.

Charged room fee deposit together and wont refund! Stay away! ,"I stayed one night at this hotel on August 24. The hotel itself is a bit off central Boston; however, nothing a short Uber ride won't fix. The property itself deserves its 4 start ranking. The room is spacious and has all the amenities; albeit I was surprised to see no complementary water and a simple 500ml bottle costing 3. Anyhow, the bathroom is very small, it is also dated and showing scruff marks; the bath itself was stained with dripping shampoo and conditioner from the containers on the wall. Not a very welcoming sight. My biggest complaint with this hotel is the customer service. The lady at reception checking me in was quite rude and racist, speaking and chatting with other customers while checking me in and ignoring me! ADDITIONALLY, while my room taxes fee was 188, she charged 263.85 to my credit card and told me 75 was refundable deposit; it is a hold and will be released after 1 week or so. Now has been 2 weeks since my check out and no refund, no release. I find it PERPLEXING that she combined the room charge and supposedly deposit HOLD into one charge, how can she release part of the charge laterI have sent them 3 emails by now, detailing my case, and have yet to receive an answer. So, if you want to have security and good customer service and do not want to be overcharged almost 100 with NO REPLY or explanation, please seek other plentiful options of nice 4 star hotels in Boston.SCAM alert! I repeatedly asked them to provide evidence that they released the deposit, they said they cannot. I have stayed in worldwide hotels and all other hotels could give me a credit slip saying the deposit has beened debitted back, but this one special hotel cant. Dishonest!

She asked me 4 questions, ranging from ""did you put a do not disturb"" sign outside the door to ""did you check in just this morning"", instead of apologizing for the oversight. Basically she was trying to come up with all possible excuses not to arrange someone to clean my room, and blame me for their fault. Even worse, after a long discussion, she finally said she would arrange someone to come clean my room, which didn't happen after a 2hour dinner!

After ordering drinks at the lobby bar we saw that, the same door man was letting in other guests, who were wearing round neck T shirts. After half an hour we tried entering the lounge once again, and the door man stopped my friend once again, and said I cannot let you enter wearing a 2 dollar T shirt. When I asked him why is there a discrimination with round neck T shirts, he told me, for no apparent reason that you are Arabic and Im also Arabic now go.. when I told him that we were not Arabs but Indians, he very rudely said yeah Im also an Indian now just go away.

We arrive at the hotel ready to check to be greeted by Hamza, we were told we had to pay for the booking so we advised the booking has already been paid for and showed him the proof, he said this was a holding fee and we needed to pay again to get the holding funds refunded back to us, we agreed to do it, we tried with both a Visa card and a MasterCard and both were declined so he said we needed to pay cash, something about that didnt sound right to us, we asked to speak to the manager and he advised he would be in tomorrow after 11am.

Avoid and stayaway, very racist towards people of colour. Not a safe place and not worth the price.","The only good thing about this hotel is that its close to town centre. The rest is a delusion and fake printed picture of how BrownLows Inn Hotel actually treat their guest. Be cautions if you are a person of colour Booking at this Hotel and looking for a relax and peaceful day off. Yes, there are still illiterate people out there who still thinks it's fine to behave racist towards people of colour.It was all friendly and smiling until I realised what I have gotten myself into. Ended up in a basement without window and no facilities. When I complained regarding this matter and others, I was asked how much I paid for the room and where did I book it. The staff seem to appear understanding, but in reality, they are mocking you. I was told by a lady working at the bar that if I didn't like the room, I could leave the same day or tomorrow as it was fine with them. And when I check out the next day, this same lady told me to get my refund I had to call booking.com and let them know that I have checked out. She even told me everything was fine on their side and she had already checked me out. But to my surprise, since I informed booking about my check out, the Hotel has not responded to any calls or emails from booking. I even went back to this same lady and alerted her that booking had attempted several time reaching out to the hotel and her respond' they don't have to call, they should just email us, and the mysterious manager will reply. However, till this date, they have refused to respond to any emails sent to them regarding this matter and refuse to refund me back the remaining stay. The lady I talked to at the bar had a redlooking hair colour at the time of the conversation, and I was directed to her most of the time to address my complaint. I assume she's the manager, although every time I had a conversation with her, she always mentions this mysterious manager whom I did not meet. Its a shame what I experienced at this hotel and no one regardless deserve this.Their staff appears to be friendly, but extremely racist towards people of colour. It's a basement or whatever it is that have been renovated to look like a modern standard, but do not be duped by the shine, cause its cover in dirt. Some of their room does not have windows, inadequate facilities, and no wifi access in the rooms. The bathroom had hair in the shower, the towel was very filthy, and the toilet was not clean, and they left the remaining of used toilet tissue. Although, it's doubtful whether some of the places do have these facilities, but yet, some customer will be deprived of this due to the colour of their skin. On the first night, I was harassed by one of their staff, a young guy by the name of Jane, along with an older guy who was sitting at the bar. The older guy sitting at the bar was watching TV. I was on the cell phone and did not want to disrupt him; hence I decided to sit on the other side of the bar. He knew I was in the bar but did not say anything until Jane came out and this older guy told Jane that, 'there is a black person in the hotel sitting at the bar'. Jane then went on by making this into laughter stating Is there a black person sitting at the bar. He repeated this three times. The older guy at one point left his chair and started walking towards me starring right in my face, and at that point, I felt threaten and unsafe, as I was the only black person sitting across the bar.I asked if everything was ok or if there was a problem. Jane then walked to the other side of the bar towards me and asked why I was sitting at the bar and if I was staying at the hotel. It was extremely scared and for the firsttime fear for my life to even spent the night at that hotel. I couldnt sleep that night and had to secure my door, and it was a nightmare. Since I left their Hotel and forward the matter to booking, they refuse to answer any call from Booking and refund me back. Avoid and Stay away from this Hotel, not safe and not worth the price. No one regardless their skin colour, religious, gender, ethnicity, or whatever, should go through such horrific experience I had at the Brownlow Inn Hotel.

That was not the truth. They failed to mention that they would be dropping off everyone else at their hotels which ended up almost being a 2 hour bus ride.

The comforter was nasty with stains and pulled it back and a rouch came from the sheets. It was already midnight and we were tired so decided to stay. At 1230 a group of people came to the room next door and was very loud, music blarring, cusing, slamming the doors repeatedly. We gave em 45 mins and they kept getting louder and finally called the front desk. They sent the security guard up and 10 mins later they syarted back up. We called the front desk 6 times that night and nothing was done! 80 percent of the people there are Black and if you aren't black then be ready to get treated like crap!

First of all I hate writing bad reviews; some people find things to complain about however I am warning people not to stay here.Firstly on a better note; the hotel was immaculately clean and in good working order. The rooms were basic but that's all we needed. The hotel was a fab location right in the hub of Lloret so everything was five mins walking distant.Sadly,95 of the staff were HORRENDOUS! On arrival all seemed fine but as all inclusive guests we were treated terribly. The staff would: ignore us when at the bar waiting to be served by walking away or starting a conversation with another staff member. One waiter 'Fernando' we believe he is called very very tall man is a racist towards English people. Would refuse to serve on occassions aswell as serve the wrong drink and verbally attack if questioned. Or he would prepare the drink and either throw it at you or walk off and shut the door. Another barman told us we eat too much, refused to provide us with food because we're greedy only asked for a plate of crisps and they would all talk about you in Spanish. They would shout at you if you laughed around the pool area and were basically sexist and racist!! I saw a few reviews and thought nah can't be that bad but it was. If it was any longer than 4 days I would of found other accommodation As part of all inclusive we were allowed drinks 11am to 11pm with brekkie lunch and tea and snacks in between. Food was basic and the same thing every single day.

It is not a 5star hotel at all at best it's a 3 star, I stayed here for 3 nights with a group of friends and by far the worst 3 night holiday ever.The disappointment began on arrival, the outside of the hotel was very run down not what any of us expected of a fivestar hotel. The room at first glance appeared clean but upon closer inspection, it really wasn't. On our first night, we found two cockroaches please see attached photos in the bathroom which were reported to the staff and they were very apologetic and got the cleaner to come and pick up the Cockroaches and clean the bathroom again. Next morning we went down for breakfast and the mugs and plates were very dirty, my friend made a cup of tea only to see lipstick stain on the mug which wasn't hers.The food was terrible and always undercooked in the end we decided to eat out of the hotel even though we paid for fullboard because we didn't want to risk getting food poisoning.The staff at the restaurant were very unapproachable, there was one in particular named Carmen, who was very rude at a point, she started pointing at us speaking Spanish to other guests at the hotel and they all started laughing at us. On our last night at the hotel, we found another cockroach this time a big one. We immediately reported it to the staff at reception, again they sent a cleaner to the room but this time before removing the cockroach the cleaner stepped on it and left all the residue on the floor, she then walks away until we asked her to come back and clean it. This was the straw that broke the camel's back, we decided to go to the reception and speak with the manager, however, the manager was unavailable so we had to spoke with the deputy manager who was incredibly rude, offensive and racist.She was unapologetic but offered to change the room, whilst she was making arrangements for the room change she explained to us that it is VERY NORMAL for the hotel to have cockroach because of the hot climate. She then said we should know this because we are also from a hot climate we were all black British. We were all dumbfounded by this comment and decided to make an official complaint to which she replied in a very aggressive tone ""we don't take complaints at the hotel and all complaint needs to be written directly to the government"". She gave us a form and instructed us to complete and return the form before 12 am in order for her to process it. At 11 pm we returned the completed form to her as instructed only for her to stamps it and inform us that she will no longer be processing it and we should send it to the government ourselves. She also said the turn around for complaints are between 3 to 6 months.When we asked her why she's refusing to process the forms she started shouting in Spanish and randomly said: ""oh well"".The next morning our transferred to the airport was arranged for 7:20 AM. Breakfast was due to start at 7 am but at 7.20 am they did not have any food or drink out. When we asked the staff what was going on they just shrugged their shoulders and walk off. This is literally the worst hotel I have ever been to. It is definitely not a fivestar hotel it is more like a poor quality threestar hotel. There was no customer service and they do not have a complaints procedure.

The reviews for this hotel were however very good with the usual one or two exceptions There are always a few where someone blamed the hotel for the poor weather on arrival or expressed surprise and disappointment that they paid for five tourist stars and did not receive the seven star Burg al Arab!! Ignoring the trials and tribulations of the insanely or commercially motivated reviews left only good things said about all aspects of this hotel so we booked online and paid our money! Despite me being considered pedantic when it comes to receiving good customer service, we were not disappointed!Upon arrival at 22.30 we enjoyed a professional and friendly service in the reception including a very warm welcome from the Customer Services Manager Margarita who presented her business card and asked to be called at any time if we needed anything at all. A minor situation with the room two singles after only 31 years of marriage surely not saw a call to Margarita and the situation was rectified right away. Rooms are typically Cypriot with full floor tiling throughout, nicely decorated and with fully functioning Air Con. A pleasant and nicely angled balcony gives virtually all rooms a beach and sea view. We booked only BB and tended to explore Larnaca and the local village most nights so cannot comment on the dinner service. Breakfast however was delightful and the pool snacks at lunchtime very well prepared and presented and the service was so fast that if you were slow back to your pool side sun bed the food would beat you to it!!! I was also impressed by the responsiveness of the food management. When asked for a minor improvement to the breakfast food service this was put into effect the next day and was still operating on our last day. Big thanks to Cornel at breakfast. You could not have been more attentive. The restaurant crew all worked so hard and we loved our breakfast times in the restaurant overlooking the pool and sea before the real heat of the day arrived.Talking of the poolside; the hotel operate a booking system for the umbrellas and associated sun beds across the whole pool and beach complex. This worked very well and from the first to the last day we did not have any of the usual hassle up at 5 oclock to secure a position of defending a prime spot once territory had been taken!! The system worked very well. Make sure you select a good spot from the outset or if unavailable on day one look at the expiration date and be ready to move when a prime spot becomes available. Suggestion to Stavros. It would be good if a staff member checked for expired cards on a daily basis as most of the guests seemed unable to do this for themselves! I read somewhere that the hotel was stacked out with Russian guests along with some racially motivated comments not the case! Breaking news!! The Russians are now allowed to travel outside the borders of the Soviet Union and would you believe their economy now means some of those folks can afford the same holiday as you get over it guys. If it werent the Russians these people were complaining about it would, for the same small minded reasons, be the Germans. The whole of Southern Europe is now being visited by the residents of the former Soviet Bloc so you will need to go a lot further than Cyprus if you feel the need to avoid this situation. I believe the reason some of the Russian guests may seem to appear unfriendly is because English is not necessarily a priority for them as a second or even third language so it is probably a confidence as well as cultural thing! The management of the hotel led by Stavros, were visible throughout the day and night and spoke to my wife and me on several occasions to solicit feedback, explaining that they would rather hear suggestions for improvements right away rather than seeing negative comments on trip advisor. Why any sane person would wait till they arrived home to mention some minor problem beats me!! We rarely re visit the same location or hotel for our summer vacations but if we were to reconsider this decision then the relaxed and hassle free holiday enjoyed at the Golden Bay Beach Hotel would be the reason.

They said all the rooms were taken now, but five minutes later a Chinese couple came in, and they gave them a room. Apparently, there is a double standard. When we asked the reception to help us find something else, they wanted to send us to a hostel with only dorms, which only had space for one night, and they were very rude. When we asked for hotels in the neighbourhood they said there were none and were very rude again.This is a very unfriendly, bad hostel.

So we did.The people at the bar were two old married couple that owned the bar and they were from Belgium. First thing they asked us was that if we are English and we said no we are from Ireland then they said that they hate English people when they come at the village i was really surprised as this was clearly rasism which i really hated. The service at the bar was really bad they even gave out to us for ordering food all the time. As if we wouldnt pay for it .the prices at the restaurant and the bar were too expensive a can of Redbull costed 3.50 and in Lidl in Calpe costed 1.50 , for a meal they wanted 37 which included a starter, main course and a desert. The place is too quiet they dont put on the radio or anything. You have to pay 15 for 7 days for the internet which is only for one phone/ device you want to use. You also have to pay extra money for the remote controller which was also 15 because you cant switch the programmes or put the volume on. The rooms were okay..but it could have been better for the money we payed though. The cleaning service do not come clean the rooms or bathrooms during the week and the service dont provide enough hygiene they didnt provide us with toilet paper or anything. It was fine with us as we hired a car from victoria car hire but for someone who doesnt drive or cant afford to hire a car its complicated. A man that lived near us went to the bar and asked them for a toilet paper and they told him you have to buy it your self we do not provide toilet papers. Which was horrible.However i wouldnt advise this holiday resort to anyone beacause the service at the village is awful, mean, not willing to help the people that are there and plus they are racists. Other people that arrived there at night had to sleep outside the restaurant and the service didnt prepare nothing for them.

If I could give this racist poop hole NO stars I would. I haven't lived in Prince Rupert for 5 years and have only stayed at this hotel maybe twice in my life. My boyfriend Josh Bunce and I were in town for the Craft Fair and chose to stay at the highliner. While I was at the fair, my boyfriend went to check us in. The lady working the desk was HEIDI and upon checking in my boyfriend had a very pleasant conversation with her. My boyfriend sad she was very chatty and bubbly. She was super friendly and helpful and checked my boyfriend in and charged him no problem. When she asked if he would have a guest he said his girlfriend Kylee Ryan would be staying with him. Well it's like a switch was flipped. She suddenly got very uncomfortable and didn't know what to do. My boyfriend was very confused and asked what the problem was. Heidi mentioned that some RYANS were on the banned list and she would have to double check. My boyfriend was even more confused as we have stayed at this hotel maybe twice. He mentioned we were from out of town. I grew up in rupert and there are a lot of ryans here. My grandpa chimed in and mentioned my mothers name and heidi responded sarcastically that she knew my mother very well. Heidi skimmed the banned list 4 times desperately searching for my name. When she didn't find it, she slowly handed my boyfriend the keys and said ""no partying"". My boyfriend picked me up and told me about his experience and how uncomfortable he felt about the way Heidi acted when my family name was mentioned. To clarify, my sister and I went to school with Heidi's daughter and Heidi didn't like my family based on assumptions her daughter made. Fast forward 3 hours and we go to our room, we were on the tenth floor and put our belongings in the room. We went to the front desk because we had a family friend arrive and he needed a room. A different lady was working at this point. When my boyfriend gave her his name, she was confused as his name wasn't in the system. We explained we had just put our things in the room and our keys were working, she asked to see the key and my boyfriend handed it to her and she literally snatched them from him and said ""sorry your room is cancelled."" She would not tell us why it was cancelled or why we weren't even notified. And she would not let us grab our belongings from our cancelled room. We spent 20 minutes trying to let her get our belongings or tell us why the room was cancelled. Finally she gets the manager and he comes in looking grumpy and all huffy immediately. HE WOULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY OUR ROOM WAS CANCELLED!!!! He escorts us to the room, and I am asking him to clarify on what the heck was happening. He was being extremely rude and arrogant and still wouldn't give us answers. I asked if he was kicking us out because I was native and my last name is Ryan and he responded ""we do not want your business."" I was appalled. Haven't been home in years and this is how I was treated trying to stay here. Not to mention my name was not even on the room It was all under my boyfriends name who ISN'T A RYAN obviously. So we had been kicked out by this racist jerk who ASSUMED because I am a ryan that I was going to be partying. He kicked us out on that assumption and Heidi's vendetta against my family. So thanks Heidi and David for your absolutely disgusting customer service. Do you not understand where your business is located! Refusing aboriginal people business on disgusting racist prejudice. Is it just me who thinks people working in customer service should not be judgemental, bigotry jerks!! This situation could have been handled way differently. Heidis job is literally to take our money, give us keys and thats that. Not judge people and decides its up to her who can and cannot stay at the Highliner. We immediately left and went to Inn on the harbour literally across the street. Checked in with NO PROBLEM. The lady working was very polite, the room was the same price as the highliner except the rooms at the inn on the harbour are 1000x better than the highliner.

Not because of the accommodations, which were better than average, or because of the location, which was okay though not spectacular. I'm white and my girlfriend is black. I speak fluent Portuguese, but it was her first trip to Brazil so she was at the entry level with the language. We're from the U.S. and are not strangers to funny looks and worse from intolerant strangers. I'm also fairly aware of the forms racism takes in Brazil, and that the image of a black woman who happens to look like a Bahiana and a white man creates certain assumptions in some Brazilians' minds. But we weren't prepared for what happened at this pousada. Arriving at the pousada door after a Saturday night out, we were let in by the portero on night duty. I told him in a clear voice what room we were staying in, so that he could give us the room key. He immediately informed me in a very stiff manner that ""irregular persons are not allowed in the pousada"" a literal translation of what he said. I suspected racism right away, and asked him what he was talking about. He repeated himself and said I'd have to pay extra to bring a 'guest' in. Which told me two things: 1 he assumed my girlfriend was a prostitute, and 2 they seem to allow this kind of thing at the pousada. I told him he was being very offensive and racist, and that this was my wife in Brazil there are two definitions of 'wife/husband', one of which is a kind of commonlaw version when two people live together. I think my vehemence in confronting him caused him to rethink, because he then shuffled some papers on the desk and said he'd confused me with another single guest who was staying at the pousada. This in spite of the fact that I'd clearly stated upon entry what room we were in. I again told him he was racist and that I'd be speaking with the manager. He denied the racism, claiming it was a case of mistaken identity. We got the same song and dance from the manager the next day, and NO APOLOGY FROM THE POUSADA OF ANY KIND, which didn't surprise me much since the manager and the doorman had clearly gotten their stories coordinated. Though not surprised, this denial only added insult to our injury. I would say these people need to learn how to run a business at the very least. Amateur and parochial.

However, I would not suggest going if you are a lone female traveller with children,or even a couple with children. I went alone with my children and the first 2 days were great there was a different lifeguard on each day. They were fine, they allowed my children to enjoy themselves in the pool. I obviously made precautions to put my children in the correct swim gear etc the pool area is lovely and you can easily keep a watchful eye on they as the loungers go right round the pool its small. Day 3 we had a different lifeguard and he was there until the end of my stay. He ruined our holiday! My children werent allowed to do nothing, they werent allowed bouncy balls from the bouncy ball machine at the pool, they werent allowed the lilo or football we purchased from the hotel shop, they werent allowed in the shallow end, they asked why they kept getting shouted at!The rules changed on a daily basis,The lifeguard knew I was alone and targeted me shouting at me constantly. He humiliated me constantly in front of other guests. He understood every word I said but refused to speak English. He was racist, he was sexist and he was trying to intimidate me for 5 days. When he put his rules in place and I was on my balcony he would watch up at me and allow foreign children to do what my children couldnt. I endured 5 days of him watching up at my balcony constantly. The hotel manager didnt want to know and said I need to follow the rules there were no clear rules by the pool so when I questioned the actual rules because they were inconsistent and changed daily and the lifeguard clearly ran the hotel his exact words were I will throw you out of my hotel with your children! My Thomas cook rep tried to help but the hotel refused to liaise with her and she actually paid for me to go out for a day out of good will because she witnessed the abuse for herself! One morning my toaster set alight my room filled with thick black smoke and the hotel staff couldnt care less. Im not the type of person to complain, Ive never complained in my life, Im happy with cheap n cheerful but the customer service in the hotel was appalling. Ive never been victimised for my race or gender before but here I was. Id avoid at all costs if you are English, female and have children.

Not suitable for family but suitable for solo/ couples travelers It's still trial and error for them but I'm sure it's gonna be better when it's fully ready. 1 The Room. It's simple but nice The bed is super comfy! Personally i prefer the garden view more than pool view because it offers more privacy. 10/10 for the room. 2 Private Beach. During high tide is beautiful but surely not during low tide. You can expect all beaches at Kuah to be ""meh"" during low tide. You can't swim during low tide and you can see few dogs prevent you from going to the beach during low tide. 7/10 for the private beach. 3 The staffs. Some are friendly, some will only friendly if you're ""white"". You can't work in hospitality industry if you wanna be racist. 4/10 for the staffs. 4 The Surroundings.A bit isolated, but it's their concept. It's not fully done so a bit of construction can be heard. At night, the dogs barking nonstop. The sound of the forest is really calming though. 6/10 for the surrondings." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg298283d15636317r643898659ARockResortLangkawiLangkawiDistrictKedah.html,Date of stay: December 2018,Asia,Malaysia,Kedah,unknown,Racist False Advertising.,"1. Check in is at 3pm and we were there for checkin on time only to be told our room is not ready because the previous guest decided to extended their check out hours and they couldn't give us a time of how long we had to wait.Unfriendly receptionist2. False advertisment we have booked a family room 1 queen 2 single bed.The owner/ investor Joe Chong bluntly said, full arrogance that such room does not exist and admits it was false advertising.3. Racist Management, the solution to our situation was to take 2 separate rooms behind facing the construction ground else we can leave if we are not happy with this alternative and apparently all pool facing units are taken there is nothing more he can do for us. No remorse and no apologies, all done full with arrogance and gangster like attitude. Mind you this was after close to an hour waiting to be checked in. During our wait at the lobby we noticed another group of foreigners were facing the very same issue but their matter was handled differently by Joe. He repeatedly apologised to them and gave them an 'upgrade' to side by side pool facing roomswhich during our time was apparently not available and there was nothing he could do about it but when foreigners of a certain skin colour had the same issue everything was possible.4. The resort is located is a rather isolated area which transportation is an issue unless you rent your own car. No eateries walking distance or at the establishment. In my opinion not suitable for families as the rooms are very small, bathrooms have no doors. Don't be fooled by the private beach either. Anything extra you need in the room example hairdryer requires a separate deposit to the on that you have already paid during check in.5. The only good thing about this place is the pool but that is surely not enough for me to recommend this place or ever return to it again. For the price they charge there are many other better resorts in Langkawi with superb customer service and facilities. Potential is there but the group that runs the resort needs to be changed or at least trained. Rude, unprofessional, arrogant and very obviously racist. 6. Also beware that there are CCTV around and they do take your picture without your permission and publish it on social media for advertising purposes." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg32655d1629217r428928545PanoramaMotelLosAngelesCalifornia.html,Date of stay: October 2016,United States,California CA,Los Angeles,unknown,Racist front desk personnel,"The front office personnel are up front racists.

For ur information I am a half malaysian muslim and was travelling with my female friend. After knowing that the guy literally abused me in a racist chant in the desk! I told him it was none of his business and ask him to give me my key. Instead he answered with another conservative religious abuse about my nationality and my race.

I then told the guy name Dan that we will go to a different hotel. He said yep but I will charge you for the whole night, he then mumbled to the guy next to him "" Fword China Men"". Well I am not Chinese for one and that's just straight up racist. Not upset at all that they charged us money for staying in the room for 5 minutes, but very disappointed and shocked at the way we were treated, especially by Dan the receptionist. Do not be curious and check out a room, they will charge you for even if you stay there for 5 minutes. The worst part is that we asked them for a different room but they said no then acted like we were poor immigrants from China.

I insisted to my traveling friend to stay at this hotel thinking that this hotel of all other options would be a great experience, I was wrong. While i prepared to go out in the town, I invited my family whom I was visiting in Guatemala to come up to my room to have a refreshment and I wanted to try some Guatemalan food treats they had brought for me to try. Well, as my family attempted to come up to my room, they very aggressively stopped at the lobby and were told they couldn't come in and they were kicked to sidewalk to wait for me. This is racist against their own Guatemalan people, they may not dress fancy and do not have a lot of money but they are hard working people they not deserved to be treated as dirt or criminals. I went downstairs to speak to management but he was very demeaning towards mefamily and didn't care to hear my plea to please allow a 2030 minute visit, I even offered to pay, His power ego was bigger that his professionalism and lack of heart.

DO NOT GO HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE TREATED LIKE GARBAGE!!!!!!!,"THE MOST RACIST TREATMENT I EVER GOT FROM A HOTEL!!!!!! DO NOT GO HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE TREATED LIKE GARBAGE!!!!!!! Our story starts at the end of December 2016 when my boyfriend was supposed to travel to Dubai. He booked a single bed at Montreal Naif Hotel. A couple of days prior to departure, I was able to take off from work and join him as well, so we changed the reservation to a double bed. Once we reach Dubai, after a 24 hour trip, we get to the hotel and discover that we are not allowed to go into the room. THE REASON!! The receptionist told us that interracial couples are NOT ALLOWED TO SLEEP IN THE SAME ROOM AND THEREFORE WE CANNOT GO UPSTAIRS. I want to mention that my boyfriend and I both live in Canada. The receptionist said that it doesn't matter where we live because they could get fined by the police for allowing interracial couples sleep in the same room. They said that it's against the law in Dubai for interracial couples to sleep together. We calmly explained that we are able to pay extra to get the room and we were still denied. At which I asked the receptionist what should we do Should we go sleep on the streets To which he simply gave us a shoulder shrug. I need to mention that this was close to New Years in Dubai and that all hotels were completely booked. Eventually, they started blaming agoda.com, the website through which we booked the room. After being on the phone with Agoda for hours, the customer service representative said that such law forbidding interracial couples to share a room seems absurd and that they are willing to speak to the hotel manager to clarify the situation on our behalf. Of course, the hotel manager was nowhere to be found for hours. We spent a total of 6 hours in the hotel lobby trying to persuade the receptionist to allow us to enter the room. I'm going to mention again that our trip to Dubai was 24 hours on planes, so we were exhausted. We tried to go up in the room to at least freshen up and leave our luggage in a safe spot and we got called on the phone IMMEDIATELY to come downstairs. At this point, it felt like harassment and racial discrimination. Eventually, after many long hours and back and forth conversations they allowed us to access our room for an extra cost. They eventually denied all racial discrimination and said that they only wanted us to pay extra and let them know ahead of time. This experience made my boyfriend and I want to NEVER GO BACK TO DUBAI BECAUSE OF THE RACISM AND HORRENDOUS WAY TO TREAT TOURISTS!!! DO NOT GO TO THIS HOTEL!!!!!!" -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg480240d1823316r118524087TheSpottedGrunterResortPortStJohnsEasternCape.html,Date of stay: July 2011,Africa,South Africa,Eastern Cape,unknown,new ownership,"I booked a snorkelling/diving trip for the sardine run in South Africa and we were lodged at the Spotted Grunter Resort. I didn't know anything about it and never did any research on the resort either.The setting of the resort is beautiful. It's got a beautiful lawn with a nice platform overlooking the river.As the food was included in my trip price I didn't really pay attention to the prices so I can't tell you if it's expensive or not. But I can tell you that it still takes them around 45 minutes to cook everything. The trick is to be earlier than other people so you'll be the first one served or be a lot later so you don't have to wait longer than necessary. They take so long because they don't have anything precooked so there's no waste which I think is a good idea and certainly worth the wait and you'll have everything freshly cooked. Having said that, the food was excellent. I had different things every day of my stay 10 days and all of them were good. I've got absolutely no complaints about the quality of the food. They were very forthcoming in out wishes regarding the food. However, if you find the food expensive, there's a supermarket across the street and there are all kinds of cooking utensils available in the room.One of the downsides is that there are power outages every evening, but that can't be helped by the staff/owners. That happens all around Port St. Johns.Another downside is that they have gasheated water. Which means that when the gas runs out and you're in the shower all of a sudden there's no hot water anymore. Even though that happened to me the chance of that happening is very, very slim. And they fixed us up with a new gastank in notime. So all praise to the staff for taking quick action there.We were notified that ownership had changed a couple of months before and the new owners were trying to get rid of the ""bad"" name they have on the internet. I read the other two reviews and can understand it. I never came across any form or hint of racism in my ten days there.As far as I'm concerned this is now with the new owners a good option if you want to stay around Port St. Johns." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg480240d1823316r72406905TheSpottedGrunterResortPortStJohnsEasternCape.html,Date of stay: July 2010,Africa,South Africa,Eastern Cape,unknown,"Beautiful setting, poor service","PROS:Beautiful Setting: The cabins are nestled in between mountains, and right on the river. My family and I made constant use of their deck overlooking the river. Rooms: Each unit has two rooms one with a queen bed, one with bunkbed, small tv, table, sink/fridge/microwave. Everything is very clean. In our 3 night stay, there was not one time the deck was being used. Canoing: For R30 you can rent a canoe for 1/2 day. I took my 8 year old cousin out and we had a blast, very relaxing. CONS:Shower: In our 3 night stay I was not able to have one decent shower. The temperature is temperamental, and even after some maintenance men came to fix it, it still did not work properly. My family and extended family stayed nextdoor to each other, and there shower was just as bad..can you imagine our frustration!Restaurant: DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT eat in the Spotted Grunter restaurant! Upon arrival, all the adults were craving seafood. Being right by the water we thought it'd be delicious boy were we wrong! We ordered sea food platters prawns, crawfish etc. The manager assured us ""it was to die for"", but that it is cooked slowly and would take 45 min we agreed it was worth the wait. 1 hr 45 min later we got our food and it was awful! In addition, the kids pizza tasted like cardboard. When we politely told the manager about our dissatisfaction she put her head down, mumbled something and walked away. Racism: On our last night as we had a BBQ outside our cabin, we found ourselves witnessing a completely unnecessary confrontation initiated by the owners husband and wife. At 8:30pm, they accused the Indian family nextdoor of having too many people in the cabin, of ppl complaining of noise certainly not us! and got in the father's face calling him a racist name. The owner apologized to us for our neighbors, and we immediately let her know we have absolutely no problem with the men. It was disgusting to see such ignorance and poor customer service, and we vowed we will never come back." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg480240d1823316r70921398TheSpottedGrunterResortPortStJohnsEasternCape.html,Date of stay: July 2010,Africa,South Africa,Eastern Cape,unknown,Very clean but very racist,"On arrival, I was glad to have booked this self catering resort. I was happy with the location and the rooms were very clean. There is a lovely deck over looking the river which we loved. We spent as much time there as possible. We are not a fishing family, but I hear the fishing is great here too.The grounds are lovely with a very beautiful well kept garden. The braais outside the units were even cleaned and scrubbed every day. I was very impressed by that.We were excited to have a restaurant on the premises. Unfortunately this was short lived! The menu prices were very, very high. When we ordered we were told the meal would take 45 minutes to prepare. We didn't mind that as they warned us. Well! It arrived 2 hours later! Not only did it arrive so late, but it was awful. When asked if we enjoyed our meal, we very politely mentioned that the wait had been very long and that it wasn't great. The grumpy manager just gave us a look as if to say she didn't believe us and turned on her heal and quickly disappeared. We even overheard her in the bar next door telling the owner that we complained and he wasn't concerned either. I think that is very poor management on their part.We had some Muslim people staying in the unit next door to us and the following night the owners came down to the units and started shouting at them very loudly. They were being very racist and told them to leave immediately. I find that unacceptable. If they had a problem with them, they should have quietly sorted it out, not shout so everyone could hear. They then had the audacity to apologise to us the next day for the commotion the Muslim people had caused. They in fact, hadn't bothered us at all. On those grounds I would never go back there or recommend it to anyone else.Before that all happened, I would have highly recommended the place as I could live with the dinner problem as we just found other places to eat. It was very clean and well located.

He behaved with no compassion as though it was unheard of and stated that the checkin time was 1:30p, instead of saying he would see what he could do. I began to fall asleep in the living room space. He was clearly a control freak and couldn't handle us hanging in the living room and ended up getting us a room earlier.He had mentioned that day that check out time was noon, however, the next morning he called the room demanding that we leave earlier than check out time then screamed it was because we checked in early. As I waited for my friend to come out, he rudely screamed at me saying we had caused problems while telling his mother or some elderly lady who tried to get me to wait outside. I refused and she asked if I was African. I was appalled at her racist nature and sarcastically said yes, just like you...Anyway, everywhere else we have stayed has been amazing.

Security guards are also racist and clearly have a problem with younger individuals as theyd pick on us at least twice a day maybe even three; harassing us with the same questions every time they saw us; they even went as far as to ask us if we stayed there. As if white or Europeans are the only individuals that can afford such a place. Pretty sure theyre not even natives of the country and they have the audacity to pick on other tourists.

They also offer airport shuttle/taxi for 27 which is a 10 minuteride to the hotel. Guests can avail free daily shuttle to the Beau Vallon beach with free use of beach towel. I would like to thank Amanda, Veronica and the other lady in the reception who were very nice and caring so as the guys in the concierge as they let us leave our bags in the hotel for one week even after our checkout date. One thing I don't understand are the waitresses in the dining area for the breakfast buffet who seem to only focus in serving coffee to men. There were only three occupied tables that time and they did not seem to care offering me coffee, when a guy came, the waitress immediately offered him coffee. I am not sure if they are just being racist or I don't know what to say.. Also, when housekeeping cleaned the room it took very long time and she left the floor slightly wet from mopping that I had to dry it for 15 minutes with a fan so I won't leave shoe marks on the floor.

Jaya has a wellpracticed, slow, genteel manner, full of yes madam this and that. But this surface politeness is deeply deceptive; know that if you challenge him, the ugliness of his personality will come out.My driver and I frequently shared meals around the country, as is the case with many foreign tourists and their drivers/guides. We never imagined this nonissue would turn into a hostile crisis at this guesthouse. After all, this is a decision solely up to us whether we dine together is something between me and my driver; its not up to anyone else to dictate.We had informed Jaya and his wife that we both planned to have dinner at the guesthouse my driver had paid for a room there too. Shortly before dinner was ready, the wife knocked on my door and told me it would be ready soon. I asked her to let my driver know too, and she gave me a strange excuse that he would need to eat later at a separate table because his food needed to be spicier. Minutes later, Jaya also knocked on my door and reiterated the same thing. The whole thing felt very strange.Soon after, Jaya brought me out to the dining room, where I sat at the main table with a friendly couple from New Zealand. I mentioned to them in passing that my driver was still waiting to eat, apparently because separate food was being prepared for him. The New Zealand couple rightly said there was plenty of food indeed, with the huge spread of more than a dozen dishes, there was probably enough food to feed six people, and why dont you just knock on his door and get him to join us This made obvious sense there was plenty of food to go around, so why should he wait any longer We had eaten lunch together earlier in the day, so I knew my driver hadnt eaten in nearly five hours. My driver was surprised when I told him dinner had started without him, and once I returned with him to the dining room, mayhem ensued with Jaya and his wife, who bitterly argued with us back and forth that my driver was not allowed to sit at the table, even though I made it clear that both the New Zealand couple and I were perfectly fine with it. You would have thought that with the ferocity of their arguments that my driver was committing a serious crime, not simply trying to eat! Jaya and his wife flung around all sorts of excuses, and finally the real truth came out: Jaya does not want locals and tourists to mix. Essentially, in his ridiculously racist mind, my lowly local driver is only allowed to come out and show his face once all the foreign tourists have left the room.Jaya's wife finally said that if you want him to eat at the table with you, you need to pay the foreigner price for his dinner. To which I obviously said fine, just so the poor guy could eat! After more arguing in Sinhalese with my driver, she went into the kitchen and brought him back a separate plate of food even though he could finally sit with us, he was not allowed to touch the dishes on the table, only eat from that one plate of food! It was absolutely ridiculous you would think we were in British colonial Sri Lanka, not the 21st century. Both my driver and I were obviously unsettled and upset by the incident. I assure you this was no misunderstanding because of language my driver got the full version in Sinhalese but a very disheartening, unnecessary, ugly act of racism and classicism by the owners.From the dinner onward, Jaya proceeded to give me the cold shoulder, staring at me in stony silence until checkout the next day. Even when I returned from the Yala morning safari note that Jaya charged me Rs 6500 for the trip, while everyone else on my Jeep was charged Rs 5500 by their hotel, the same ridiculous racism happened again when I was served a late breakfast. Both Jaya and his wife suddenly claimed that breakfast was only included in my room rate, not my drivers room rate. If I wanted him to eat with me, I would need to pay an additional fee. To which I told Jaya flat out, Im going to take my driver out to a nice restaurant, as I prefer to spend my money elsewhere. At that, Jaya turned his back on me and walked away in anger.The final bill I paid for that sickening dinner was Rs 600 for me and Rs 700 for my driver, plus 10 service what service! The wife claimed that the small piece of chicken on his plate merited an extra 100 rupees. This is not a lot of money to tourists, but locally its a lot, and I can tell you that my driver and I have had shared much better meals together for a total of less than 700 rupees. Moreover, drivers who lodge at hotels are typically given a courtesy meal in their room rate, and he got nothing but a huge helping of racism. Clearly, this couple saw it as yet another opportunity to profit, even if they couldnt get their racist way in the end. But its not the money Im upset about but their shockingly racist, classist attitudes, and subsequent hostility toward me and my driver when we rightly challenged their ridiculousness. This horrible couple needs to wake up to the reality that the colonial period is long over." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg297517d2624913r467464589KatuasHotelDiliDiliDistrict.html,Date of stay: February 2017,Asia,East Timor,Dili District,unknown,Nice local staff but very racist and rude of Portuguese manager,"I am very sorry for the local staff who were very nice to me when I stayed for 10 days but the owner / manager was so rude and racist too.

People do leave towels on the sun beds over night, a sign needs to be put up saying, any towels left over night will be removed, as we spent our holiday sunbathing on chairs... it is fair enough to get up early and nab sun beds, but over night takes the piss. the wristbands, I see loads of people on here crying about the wristbands. English gpb is the strongest currency. The drinks are about 50p after 11pm so stop your crying. In all honesty sunny beach offers so much to do. Who wants to sit in the hotel anywaystaff, we had absolutely no problems with the staff, my friend loved the animation team they were pretty cool. The guys in the pool bar are great. I see alot of reviews moan about the girl on the bar fatme, the first night I went down she and 2 other girls on the bar laughed at me speaking in Bulgarian. And I just thought it was funny, and throughout the week she was just more friendly. Us English are racist to foreigners and tourists. Let them take the piss out of us haha. We are all alcoholics when we travel.Overall the stay was great fun loads to do, the train outside runs from 7am 12am costs 6lev and takes you to the attraction where you will have the greatest nights of your life. But beware they water down drinks and charge 1lev every time you need the toilet. Its about a 30min walk back for the night owls after partying. Don't get taxis they just take the piss.Thank you zefir for a.great holiday and I will most likely return soon :D" -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg499086d498541r598118988ZefirHotelSunnyBeachBurgasProvince.html,Date of stay: July 2018,Europe,Bulgaria,Burgas Province,unknown,Be prepared for some of the rudest racist staff youll ever meet !,"Upon our arrival at the Zefir hotel we realised we had missed our all inclusive slot so kindly asked the girl behind the bar where we could get out some cash to buy a drink as they don't accept cards and we were told ""I don't know"" in a very dismissive way. We soon discovered as well as being the most rude member of hotel staff we have ever met there was also a cash point two minutes walk away . Her rudeness increased as the week went on , we also noticed as soon as some of our staff saw our ""green band of shame "" which showed we were from the UK we were treated apalingly! However to the hotels credit Thomas behind the pool bar was really lovely and hard working and should probably get a promotion . Also the childrens entertainer girl and a guy called the animator were nothing but smiley and friendly all week. The rude girl called Fatma should be avoided at all costs ! I also unwittingly started an argument amongst two members of staff as I asked for some milk. The waitress was yelling ""no milk no milk"" at me while the chef was yelling at her then they both walked off arguing leaving me with no milk . It was really weird. We also asked about air con in our room and told we would have to pay extra , apparently this varied between five and ten levs depending on where you were from. However the cleaners who were absolutely lovely and cleaned our room daily switched it on for us mid week and we didn't pay anything . I think it was by accident but it was much needed as without it we had to leave our window open at night and the street is really noisy as there is a pub across the road which has karaoke until the early hours of the morning and the seagulls are crazy noisy ! Despite all of this it turned into a comical week as the staff were so terrible and we managed to laugh it off and enjoy our holiday . There is a nice beach bar called Musai nearby and if you go into old Nesebar there are some great restaurants and museums. If you head to sunny beach be prepared for crazy bars , bungee jumps ,all night markets , strip clubs and lots of pissed people! I have to say it was an experience I will never forget !" -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg499086d498541r526941151ZefirHotelSunnyBeachBurgasProvince.html,Date of stay: September 2017,Europe,Bulgaria,Burgas Province,unknown,DO NOT GO THERE!,"The only good feature is the pool, the pool is lovely but cold.

Really not worth it.They won't let you have a cup of tea or coffee with your lunch or dinner, it's only available at breakfast.There were a few live electrical sockets hanging off the wall, very dangerous.The cleaners don't knock before entering your room, I was walked in on a few times while I was getting dressed.The animation team were good but had very limited resources.There was no evening entertainment for adults only a short disco by the pool for small children.On 'All Inclusive', drinks, including soft drinks and alcohol were only available from 11am until 11pm at which time they would close the outside bar and switch the lights off leaving clients sat outside in complete darkness, but German All Inclusive was 24/7.We arrived early Saturday morning and were leaving the following Friday evening, so actually stayed 6 nights, checkout is noon, we were then charged to be able keep the room for an extra 4 hours even though we had paid for 7 nights RIP OFF!In my opinion this hotel and it's staff are very racist!I would NEVER go back there and would not recommend this hotel to anyone." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg293919d6437049r421232954SeasonFiveHotelPattayaChonburiProvince.html,Date of stay: September 2016,Asia,Thailand,Chonburi Province,unknown,Racist,"Fine rooms but no services from housekeeping, Reception nd all , Breakfast menu ...just eggs, sausages , bread and ofcourse 1 fruit..... if u r white skined go for it ..coz .

Also, keep in mind you can't bring your own drinks so if you want to enjoy a drink by the pool you'll have to pay for it.

Fresh, crisp towels every morning, and good quality sheets and pillows. The location of breakfast makes for a wonderful start to the day, although the breakfasts themselves are just about OK, and no fruit is offered. Their ""wine experience"" is a good one. Le Cinque Terre produces some lovely whites, and the sommelier was very knowledgeable.NEGATIVES, NEGATIVES, NEGATIVES: The accommodation is best likened to a favela in Rio de Janeiro. The Gianni Franzi is not a hotel by any stretch of the imagination, but rather a collection of disparate rooms spread across a few buildings some hundred steep steps away from the main port and reached through tall, dark, narrow alleyways. Our room was extremely basic; it was very small, had no air conditioning although there was a fan, and the single window was headheight to all passersby who kept peering in, thus making it impossible for us to have the window kept open. I've never slept on a shorter bed meant for an adult! At 5'6"" my feet were just barely accommodated. The ABSOLUTELY WORST part of the Gianni Franzi is their socalled reception staff barmaids at the owner's restaurant. First off, they are unprofessional they got our reservations wrong several times thank goodness I emailed twice to check before arriving. Secondly, they have no idea of proper customer service and their approach to problemsolving is to shout and gesticulate and keep repeating themselves ever louder and with more gestures. But the absolute clincher is the outrageously RACIST remark that one of them was heard to make to some guests who were checking out. Having lived in several multiracial countries for a long time, I can say that I have never, ever experienced firsthand anyone actually making such a disgustingly racist remark, the likes of which I can't repeat. The second 'receptionist', instead of apologising for her colleague, tried to cover it up in a very stupid way which was just as racist as the first remark. We were totally disgusted by this experience and checked out the same day. We took the train to Genova where we found a fantastic boutique hotel in the historical centre, with two wonderful suites that cost us less than our rooms in thefavelathatistheGianniFranzi, and which had highly professional and wonderfully hospitable staff." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg297463d304955r571562304CrownePlazaChengduCityCenterChengduSichuan.html,Date of stay: March 2018,Asia,China,Sichuan,unknown,Most RACIST Hotel EVER !!!

The IHG member checkin area was not staffed, so I queued up near the counter. I have been waiting there for couple minutes, and more people showed up and lined up after me. Then, two arrogant White men just cut the line and approached one of the front desk staff after the staff just finished checking in another guest. I politely talked to the two White men about the line in case they missed it. They took a peak and ignored what I just said. What's more furious is the front desk lady started to check in the two White men and ignoring the long line and the fact that they were cutting the line! I complained to the lady who checked in me, and she did not bother to apologize and reacted like it's not her business. Later, a lady in a suit approached and welcomed me as a Spire member. I complained to her about it once again, and she kept saying we upgraded your room but no apology at all. It turned out my room got upgraded to a higher floor, but the room type was exactly what I booked. I am Chinese and IHG Spire member. I am grateful for the upgrade but really disappointed about the racism experience, especially given that I am a Chinese staying in a hotel in China and discriminated for being a Chinese." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg37114d253085r595352289HiltonGardenInnFortWayneFortWayneIndiana.html,Date of stay: July 2018,United States,Indiana IN,Fort Wayne,unknown,The worst stay racist and stealing,"I stayed here many times and yes Ive had an issue before but I didnt see any of the old employees or management so I thought I would have a great experience this time. I was incorrect..........My husband was made several keys by different staff which none worked. He ended up sleeping in the parking lot in his vehicle overnight as he attempted to waive, knock on the window to be let in with no response. As it was the middle of the night. He stated she say him but refused to open the door. Im not sure if it was due to race or profile. He is a large guy football player build and due to his job as a promoter he wheres a lot of jewelry but when he finally got in the next morning the housekeeper in front of the door was telling him that someone went into rooms andnstole kureigs, chairs and towels. I called the front desk the light before for his physical key because I had a digital key it did not allow 2 phones access. I brought this to the attention of 2 young women the next day as they were speaking about partying. They never apologized but kept stating the doors should never be locked and asking me the ladys name who was on shift . When checking out I attempted the same thing expecting my money back as my husband wasnt able to sleep in the room. She said sorry a manager would call me in 3 days. I went to a different hotel after this contacted corporate and was promised a refund as I called to speck with a manager personal and was told she informed the young lady when I was checking out to provide me bonus points. SERIOUSLY!!! I was promised a refund after Corp reaches the GM I looked in my account the next day and saw not on did the charge me for all day and it had cleared but the again had lots of money on hold status.

They like the swimming pool and the kids facilities. However, the PS3 station was not working on the first day, it took 7 hours for the maintenance team to confirm that the playstation is not working and they will change it on the next day for us. On the next day, playstation is changed. However, remote Controllers are not tested if they are working.. obviously they are not working... another 2 hours of waiting again... kids are quite disappointed with the playstation for not able to play on the first day. Duty manager Asvaty offered us with deducted room rate and igh points and a brownie for all these issues... I was delighted with the good attitude from the receptionist and duty manager.On the next day morning, we went down to hotel cafe for breakfast, Susie served us at the entrance of cafe, at that time cafe is busy as usual. We asked for a big table for 6 persons, as we have 3 young kids, one of them is 3 years old. She was reluctant to go in or ask other staff, and told us that no big table, we need to split to 2 small tables. Furthermore she said we already have 1 person came down before us, which we did not.. we as a family with young kids.. everyone goes everywhere together. She dropped that topic, and continue to asked us to split if not have to take the big table under the sun without shade. In my mind, I was thinking will she take that seat if she in my position I told her let me think, then just had a short talk with my hubby, less than 5 sec. She asked us to help her and dont make things complicated with unhappy facial. Im very puzzled why she said that, but did not argue with her.. we decided spilt table, but want 2 tables to be near to each other, so that we can take care of our children. Again, without checking table availability by herself or her staff, she continued to stand there and said no tables near to each other.. we need to split with 2 far tables away! This time, Im pissed and I walked in there cafe and checked it by myself. There are more than 5 big tables are available, some are clean tables some are dirty. I asked my family to come over to join me with the big tables. I did her job and she did not say anything about it, just insisted no big table for us, this is very lousy service that I ever experienced. One more unprofessional and racist which I noticed from her is when I walked to search the table, she immediately changed to smiley facial, and turned to the back forgein white guests, very warmly apologised to them for keep them waiting.. the whole episode of this, making me feel like Holiday Inn service staff is very unprofessional and racist!!!! On the first day, I told my husband we shall come back again on Dec for the kids holiday, after this bad and awful experience, Im not sure if I will come back again.

Travelled with my young family and disabled mother and without wishing to sound racist, we were very intimidated by the muslims wearing veils and their general behaviour ie some actually spat at my children in the pool. The staff were fully aware of this behaviour but seemed to condone it as the whites were in the minority. Didn't serve pork either only seemed to cater for muslim tastes rather than an international cuisine.

We booked the room for 2 adults and 1 infant 10 months old while the booking agency passed the information to your hotel as 2 adults. While checking in, Mauro was curt and told us that he can't allow the baby 10 months old to check in with us since we hadn't mentioned it in our booking but he being broad minded that's how it looked like he would allow, but we may be charged extra for the infant.We have faced this situation before as some booking agencies don't consider infants under 1 year old, that cosleeps with parents, as ""child"". When we asked him why would we be charged extra when the infant is going to cosleep in the same bed, Mauro almost accused us, as if we were sneakily trying to bring in another person to stay with us. He also remarked that, ""May be in your country, you can book a hotel for 2 people and let 8 stay, but it doesn't work like that in Italy"". He assumed and accused us as if we had intentionally left out our infant in the list of people staying with us. When we tried to explain him our point we were asked to first listen to what he had to say and we were lectured for about five to ten minutes wherein, he remarked, ""May be in your country, you can book a hotel for 2 people and let 8 stay, but it doesn't work like that in Italy"". With what temerity did he utter those words Looking at our skin tone and assuming stereotypesWe would like to ask Mauro, if he had ever visited our country, Singapore. Singapore is a thousand times systematic and organised than Italy and please be mindful of your words. We don't write reviews complaining unclean linens or toilets, because we believe, you get what you pay for. But service and attitude That has to be top notch, regardless of the star rating if the hotel.Mauro also told us that, he will have to ""withheld"" our passports for 30 minutes for police verification and we we were made to wait for nearly 45 minutes at the reception before we got our keys. But our passports weren't given back to us and when asked again to another receptionist he told the same reason. We asked him to take a photocopy and give our passports back which is the norm in every hotel and yes we got it after another ten minutes. Why was our room not ready, despite we checking in after almost 2 hours past the ""Checkin"" time When the fault was on your end, why were we blamed forWe totally understand and agree that there was an error in the booking that was neither our fault nor yours. But the way you talk to your customers is unacceptable. Treating customers like criminals and ""withholding"" passports and making racial taunts at them Horrible experience.On the plus side, Andrea was very helpful and so was the other receptionist forgot his name, a short guy with spectacles. The breakfast was also good. I would have easily given this hotel a 4 star rating, but racism has absolutely no excuse and I'm shocked and horrified by the experience I received.

I then discovered Green Dot Travel, would highly recommend going through this company ask for Rinkal they were so hopeful. We arrived just before dinner on the 29th October, and we were completely blown away; yes it's probably not 5 stars by some peoples standards if you go to Jamaica and places like that... but for two 18 year olds, Beach Club Doganay was out of this world. Our transfer had took about an hour and a half I'd recommend going with smaller companies as there is less drop offs and our friends took 3 hours with their transfer. We were taken up to our room very quickly and we were VERY HAPPY with it, found the extra single bed odd but hey ho, just used it to put out bags on as we packed our clothes away etc. Loved that they had a bath, found the tap a bit rubbish so I'd run it with the shower head, but I couldn't complain as I was just happy to have a bath really haha. The food was great and my boyfriend loved it, but after about 4 days it was getting a bit repetitive and they stopped the live cooking outside as the end of season was nearing. We were completely gutted that we never got to eat at the a la carte, we went to book a table and they were fully booked then closing 4 days before our stay was over! Another complaint was the poor quality of desserts, I have a proper sweet tooth but found nothing very nice the whole week... I couldn't see any evidence of racism from the Turkish staff towards the English till about half way through the week where one of the waiters with filthy fingernails ew, would put extras in the cocktails for the Russians then ask us English to pay extra or point blank refuse, we ended up reporting him to the night manager and he never bothered us again! Entertainment was great on the nights we went to them but not long enough in all honesty, the free shuttle bus was brilliant too but we also caught the other bus on occasions and that was only about 1 anyway. The walls were a bit thin in the rooms too, I kept hearing an Arabic man singing in the shower when I went in the bathroom, the free use of the safe was good also. Mini fridge was restocked daily, but our friends on the first floor didn't get this treatment. We found some good television for when we were getting ready on the nights etc, which was good. The phones to buy phone cards for were rubbish and wouldn't phone back to the UK, i'd suggest using the machines in Alanya harbour rather than the ones in the hotel by the shop. The indoor pool should have been heated really, i think the idea of free turkish bath and sauna was good but i didn't fancy having a fat greasy man rubbing me down in all honesty... I nearly had an asthma attack in the sauna and it burnt the inside of my nostrils but don't let that put you off as I'm probably a bit of a drama queen aha.All in all a really good stay, I'd suggest going to Kleopatra Beach as the sand is marginally better than that of the private beach and it doesn't cost much to hire a sunbed for the day, the selection of all inclusive drinks was excellent and I really liked the seating area near reception, would recommend to others, and I myself would come back if I hadn't already been to Turkey a few times.

Last year we stayed at the Viking Star in Kemer also Turkey which we gave 5 stars to on Tripadvisor and paid a similar price for. However, this hotel was extremely poor in comparison. It was no 8 on Tripadvisor when we booked and is now no 20. Having looked at other reviews on this website, we can only conclude that different people receive different treatment at Beach Club Doganay or standards have dropped a lot.Our rooms were grubby and dirty see pics, dirty carpets, damaged bathroom, dirty staff area directly outside our rooms where staff would sit on the floor at different times of the day, blocked bathtub that was not fixed despite request. Two days after raising the issues we were offered a familly room which we did not accept as it was smaller than the two rooms we had paid for. We were then showed a larger clean suite but were asked for 50 euros per night extra, when we refused to pay the manager said 30 euros. When we said we had paid for 2 rooms already and were not happy, they eventually offered two cleaner rooms which we settled into.This hotel is unique in that the management do not care about customer experience. I showed the General Manager Mr Mustafa the pictures I have posted here as well as the Front of House Manager. The General Manager just made excuses that the room would be refurbished after the season offering no alternatives and the Front of House manager was just plain rude, with no manners in how he dealt with guests. Staff in general, apart from reception staff, were not friendly or helpful.On top of all of this, two in our group of 6 became sick with severe stomach bugs during the trip. My wife met a lady from Manchester in the restaurant who told us her son amongst other guests were also very sick with the same thing, her son ending up in hospital on a drip for two days. She kindly gave us some mild tablets to settle the stomach. On return to the UK our doctor said the illness was most likely due to poor food hygiene, and I did notice flys sitting on food during breakfast.I also felt that one waiter in the restaurant in particular was racist. He would pull out chairs for European guests but when we asked for basic things like cutlery he would ignore us. I mentioned this to the waiter earlier on and to one of the managers on my last day when he was in the restaurant, he seemed to take the issue seriously but then approached the waiter, chuckled something and walked on.One big negative was that the indoor pool is not heated and cannot be heated. For a late season holiday this is a must, as our children normally spend two hours a day in the pool during holidays. This was not possible at this hotel.The hotel is isolated and Alanya has little to offer apart from the Castle and the beach. The beaches in south Turkey are poor compared to other countries we have visited with stony/grainy sand and narrow strips of beach.I would not visit this hotel again or recommend it to anyone as I have done with Viking Star. Overall we had a poor experience which spoilt our holiday. There are many other hotels in the area, don't take the risk book elsewhere." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg187323d2481544r581474111WaldorfAstoriaBerlinBerlin.html,Date of stay: May 2018,Europe,Germany,Berlin,unknown,"Awesome Property, Snobbish Unfriendly Staff","Booked room ""King Delux with View"". While booking the hotel the pictures which hotel has uploaded were not true and deceiving. The room category I booked the pictures were showing the view of the church with bathroom tub facing it, that was the reason to book the room which is eastside facing. To my surprise, when i reached the reception the receptionist ""Tatjana Shorling"" talks me into having a west side room which is suppose to be equally exciting according to her. Upon going to that room 1109, i see construction site from my room, i come down with my luggage complaining that this is not the room i booked, I show her my booking pictures of my room category. She says, these pictures are from our junior suite bathroom, and you have booked King Delux with VIEW, so the view could be anything and these are just some random pictures uploaded for the room category you have booked. So I was like ""Wow, waldorf astoria does that, so far the room category from any other hotels i book online, i always get the same or similar, not completely opposite of what is shown to me as a customer"" My argument was: So that means your marketing department has uploaded the pictures of Junior suite bathroom view to the church only to deceive customers booking the room and then you give them a view of noisy constructions site west side room claiming this is what you will get as a VIEW which is mentioned in your booking. I asked well if the view of the west side construction site is so exciting, why don't your marketing team uploads the pictures of that view and let the customers book the room anyway. Why this making a fool out of customers and lying to them. To my surprise, they did have the room with east church facing which Later she supposedly pretending to do me a favour gives me room, 1303 Which is still not the one I had originally booked had finally the west side church view. It was around 9pm checkin and having the room available with church facing, but not giving it to me and talking me into taking a room with an inferior view was very mean and unfriendly of her and its absolutely unfair trade practice to show something else online and give something else. Later that evening around midnight passing through the reception, I asked ""Mr.Joshua Beckel"" on the reception ""What time is the breakfast from tomorrow morning"" His reply ""Its from 6:30am to 10:30pm, but it depends if its included in your room tariff or not"". I have never heard a remark like this before after 25 years of my travelling. According to me while checking in, the receptionist, does ask you ""your room doesn't include a breakfast would you like to add it or the host at breakfast room informs you after asking your room number, that sir your room doesn't include breakfast and this will be additional charges. These are the two people you expect to get this information from generally, but asking just for the timing of the breakfast and the guy replies ""It depends if it's included in your room tariff or not"" is purely racial based. He wouldn't dare say that to some rich European guy wearing suit and Rolex on, walking around. I was very upset, and wanted to talk to the manager, who refused to meet and then i was sent the business development head Mr Sean Woods to listen to my complaint, and all he did was bragging about ""We are Waldorf Astoria"" ""If you have been traveling for so long, you should know germans talk like this, this how they talk"" blah blah blah. I told him, I am sorry but I do not agree with you, I have been to cheaper hotels than yours and I have been coming to Germany for 25 years for business, and never experienced this kind of biased treatment and judgemental remarks from the hotel staff, that it is the reason it's coming as a shock to me. Because my impression of Germans has been always straightforward yet friendly to their guests. Finally, next day i have moved the room which I was originally shown the pictures of online and which i had booked, but after all this talking and hassle. Staff at concierge, bell boy, breakfast room were very friendly. I would have checked out of this hotel for sure next day, if i hadn't set up all my clients meetings in this hotel already." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg187266d1566757r153731178LaCremaillereHotelMegeveHauteSavoieAuvergneRhoneAlpes.html,Date of stay: February 2013,Europe,France,AuvergneRhoneAlpes,unknown,Worst hotel experience ever. Racist and rude owner!,"My wife and I stayed at this hotel after looking at the information provided but the information written has nothing to do with what we experienced. First of all the hotel does not have spacious rooms as stated. One of the two rooms we booked was different from the other and was as spacious as a coffin. Secondly the rooms are definitely not soundproof as we could hear our neighboring rooms' conversations. The hotel owners have 4 cats which live in the hotel and walk around in the kitchen, on our towels, bed sheets practically everywhere!!! Hotel smelled of cat urine.As my sister in law is allergic to cats and as the hotel did not provide the same room as seen on the pictures, they had to cancel their room. The owners charged them for a cancellation fee which they did not have a right to as they provided erroneous information and they duped us. Not only they overcharged us but the owner was insolent and very rude. The worse part was when the owner made screamed at us, made racist comments and told his wife they shouldn't accept our kind in their hotel." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg488125d646135r184078910LakeManyaraHotelLakeManyaraNationalParkArushaRegion.html,Date of stay: August 2013,Africa,Tanzania,Arusha Region,unknown,Racist policies stay somewhere else if you care.,"Unlike many other highend safari lodges, this group of hotels including the Seronera Lodge has racist policies that made our stay there very uncomfortable. We are a white American family and we ended up with an empty extra room bc our kids wanted to stay altogether in their own room. The extra room was nonrefundable so we offered it our safari guide, rather than leave it emptybutpaidfor. The manager refused to allow this and he would not budge, even when we pointed out that we paid for the room so we should be allowed our guest/friend to stay. The manager assured us that the guides'/drivers' quarters were lovely so we asked our friend to take photographs. The pictures revealed abominable conditions: filthy, crowded and with overflowing toilets. That is where he stayed, while our luxurious extra room remained empty. We did try to leave and stay elsewhere but everything was booked. The management also discouraged us form having our guide dine with us they eventually allowed it, but charged us a ridiculous price in trying to dissuade us form doing so. He was the only African man in the dining room, so I guess their tactics are normally successful. Other highend lodges we stayed in did not have these same segregated policies many encourage guides and families to dine together and provide the same or similar lodging. The racist policies here and at the Seronera truly ruined this portion of our magical trip. Our schoolage children were also horrified." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg951014d651042r623815155XenoEftaliaResortHotelKonakliAlanyaTurkishMediterraneanCoast.html,Date of stay: September 2018,Europe,Turkey,Turkish Mediterranean Coast,unknown,Racist abusive dont go!!,"If you like being classed as 2nd class because youre British go here.I asked the manager for yoghurt for my little grandson to be told feed him mint dip! The food is typical all inclusive, the drinks are served in reusable dirty tumblers. The staff only speak to the Russians. The dj threatened my daughter and caused a big row, cause she done the thumbs done sign because again it was another Russian song! The manager did nothing! Even though staff members witnessed it. The dj called us liars, ok, what man says hes going to hit a 21 year old then goes to his possee who was a bristish woman who fancied him and tried to get them onside. Look out for the lady shell be soon in chat magazine for leaving her old man for a Turk . The life guards were that busy chatting up young girls, my daughter in law was pushed down the slide by a Russian and all they could do was give her some cotton wool! The male receptionist with glasses is the most arrogant person ever, we paid for a room only for him to come and kick us out an hour before our time was up! Ive read another review where hes done it before. I paid good money to stay here, and Ive travelled to turkey numerous times this s the first time we have ever experienced anything like this! Read though my other reviews. If I could give a lower score I would, racist they only want our money. The manager is a joke Seriously find another hotel, this is horrendous.

Firstly, the hotel is spotlessly clean and the rooms are kept clean with clean bedding and towels every day. Also, little touches like shower gel, cotton buds, shower cap, sewing kit, shoe horn etc in the room. The maid that cleaned our room was friendly and very sweet although she did not speak much English well hardly any. In fact, when she asked us if we were German and we replied that we were English, she shook our hands and hugged me. More of this in a moment.If you are looking for a quiet peaceful holiday, then stay away. When we arrived, it was in the middle of a storm and therefore all outdoor activities were a no no. Therefore, the children's evening activities were right slap bang in the middle of reception area. Madness, as the receptionist could not hear us or we him due to the disco music blaring out. It was frankly a din. We later realised that there is a meeting room and on other nights, they actually used this for the kid's entertainment when the weather was wet. The room was ok, as I said, clean and had enough drawers and hanging space etc, but the main areas of the hotel and the lifts were tired and definitely need a refurbishment. For instance, the lifts were shabby and the furniture in the bar area worn and needing to be replaced. Also, lots of the chairs in the dining areas were broken and unstable.I must add here that I am not a racist in any way, but being outnumbered by about 1,000 Germans to around 30 of us Brits, we felt very out of it. The Germans were by and large, noisy, greedy, some quite rude and the children were so unruly running around the dining rooms and other areas knocking into people and waiters. Carrying hot soup and food in the dining room was a bit scary with hundreds of these kids running around. We were told by Thomas Cook that there would be few children around as it was not half term wrong! It was the German school holidays and there were hundreds of them there. They were waiting for food and lining up long before breakfast dining room opening and also lunch and dinner. We found it very difficult to get a seat at times and even turning up 10 minutes after opening, we found that our favourite deserts were all gone onto their plates. Honestly, they piled their plates up like there was going to be a food famine. Food, ok, but lots of chicken. Very samey and we have had better at other hotels in Turkey previously.The whole of the area is geared for Germans. The waiters approach you speaking German and shopkeepers around too. They even price things in Euros. If we had wanted to use Euros, we would have gone to Europe. We insist on paying with Turkish Lira as we are in Turkey and love Turkey as a country and the people too. When we did encounter another English speaking couples, we were embraced with glee as they could talk to us and understand us. I felt the holiday was very spoiled by the noise, crowds and difficulties at meal times in the hotel. We got out when we could and had fantastic trips as the surrounding area, especially Alanya and Manavgat are very beautiful. If travelling by Thomas Cook, then seek out other means of excusions. A lovely, helpful Turkish man has a little travel agents directly outside the hotel just up the road on the right. Does great excursions at a fraction of the price in the hotel. You just have to go on a pirate ship for the day food, entertainment, fun, swimming from the boat, excellent. Ours was Ali Baba boat. The captain dresses up as a woman and is a hoot.All in all, for noisy family holidays then you might like the hotel, but be warned,even the entertainment is German. Honestly, being English is not a good option in this hotel. We ignored the bad reviews, but I was in tears one night as we could not find anywhere to sit in the dining room, Germans 'bagged' tables for their large party of friends and family and I almost put my food down and walked out. Another annoying thing is that there was never enough cutlery, plates etc. Nobody seems to keep them washed up and flowing which is not good with such a high volume of people in the hotel. When juice machines or coffee machines ran out of coffee, milk, juice etc nobody replaced them and this happened most days. The juice labelled was rarely the flavour you actually got and they were not real juices anyway. If you wanted freshly squeezed orange juice, that was 1 Euro for each glass." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg187807d529214r406931014HotelImperialBeachRiminiProvinceofRiminiEmiliaRomagna.html,Date of stay: August 2016,Europe,Italy,EmiliaRomagna,unknown,Racists people and room of maximum 2 stars,"Hey.

In short, I was treated like an illegal immigrant by a staff who acted in such a discriminatory manner that I was brought to the verge of tears. My initial impression is that this hotel was rather unfriendly to nonJapanese guests.Firstly, upon checkin, I was abruptly informed by the front desk that I would not be able to checkin one hour early, which was a surprise to me, as I have never had trouble as an Platinum member in checking in early. I understand that hotels have operational constraints, so I did not mind, but her mannerism towards me was rather abrupt.What I found unacceptable is what happened afterwards: the front desk lady asked to see my passport. Now, if this was the United States, I would happily hand over my ID, as every hotel does that for security reasons. However, there is no such practice of this in Japan. In Japan, hotels only ask for the guest to write down their name and address, and for nonJapanese residents, a copy of their passport number. What she did to me would be the American equivalent of demanding to know if I was a illegal immigrant or not. Frankly, what she did was extremely discriminatory, as I speak Japanese fluently as I am halfJapanese. She assumed that just because I had a nonJapanese name, that I was a foreigner, and thus subject to her looking at my passport. Words cannot describe how appalled I was at her racist behavior, especially in front of my colleague.As I found her behavior unacceptable, I asked to see her manager. She informed me that there was no manager available for the time being. Candidly, this has to be a lie every hospitality business always has a MOD on duty. At this point, I was so appalled and saddened by her actions that I just left the hotel. My colleague, who is a journalist for an American newspaper, was simply shocked by this whole ordeal. Fortunately, upon my return to the hotel, the manager on duty Tetsushi Nishimura came and introduced himself to me. He seemed preemptively aware of the situation and apologized for the earlier misconduct of the staff. He acted in a very professional manner and I would like to commend how he handled the situation.However, words cannot describe how saddened I am by an incident like this. I specifically chose the Crowne Plaza in Kanazawa because I thought a hotel run by IHG would be to an excellent standard. I did not expect to be treated as if I was a illegal immigrant with no right to be in Japan, especially in a country that was my childhood home. What would have been a wonderful stay in Kanazawa was marred by how I was treated by the hotel, and I would not feel comfortable returning there again.Aside from my experience, other reviewers are correct in that the bathroom would look dated by American, and especially American Crowne Plaza standards. I suppose that Crowne Plazas in Japan have different standards. Furthermore, the beds that were used were rather hard, which I surmise would be uncomfortable for people who are used to Westernstyle hotel beds." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg262055d577903r491108460LimanakiBeachHotelAyiaNapaFamagustaDistrict.html,Date of stay: May 2017,Europe,Cyprus,Famagusta District,unknown,THE.

Wifi was not free as advertised. The extra bed was a hard sofa bed, that was not sleepable. The only nice staff was one of the night security guards. The only good thing about the hotel was the scenery and look of it. Posh looking but the worst service. Everywhere else in Ayia Napa made us feel so welcome, we made many friends in our short stay in Ayia Napa, but Limanaki Beach Hotel was the worst hotel in the whole place.

Asked at the front desk, the otherwise attractive blond German female in charge said we could pay a deposit to open the fridge this offended me and I refused. Asked why they lock the fridge, she said 'maybe not you caucasian, but these groups empty the minibar'. I felt this was racist to not trust Asians and told her so, and got no satisfactory reply.Asked directions to the closest shop, the same female gave me totally misleading directions to something we eventually found 200m in a straight line away, after we walked around half the neighbourhood.Very poor advice from a local.At breakfast, with noone to greet us at the entrance, we filled plates from the buffet, and my partner found a table, sat down and started to eat.

Should advertise as ""WHITES ARE FAIR COMPLETION FAMILIES ONLY""","Hi All, This was a mail below that I sent to the Hotel Management and the Turkey Tourism. I received a reply from the Guest relations saying sorry but its securities duty to do so ... Please note that I have copied the Turkish Holiday Complaints, Turkish Tourism Ministry and the Turkish embassy in South Africa to this mail.Turkey is an amazing country and every time I visit beautiful Turkey I try to visit another town and city.However, this mail is not to tell you all how beautiful your country is but to complain about the most unacceptable behaviour from the staff at the Kaya Palazzo.I spent four nights at the resort which is beautiful, probably one of the best resorts I have visited in recent years however the staff made our holiday very uncomfortable and we felt like we never belonged at your resort.The staff were absolutely racist, they would never smile while talking to us or would never great us when we walked pass each other, However they would great and smile at all the other guestOn the second day, I was walking back from the pool area with my 8 year old son when the security guard approached me and started shouting at me and asked me where is my room card and where am I staying. So I asked him why, and he said he just needs to know as I am not allowed there if I was not staying there. So I asked him why did he not go and ask everyone else that was walking around me who is white and fair in complexion He said no, he needs to check mine and I said I dont have it, its with my wife. He continued harassing me for my card in front of all other guest and embarrassed both myself and son. I then just walked away.I approached the resorts guest services as there was no manager available and advised them on what had transpired and they advised they will look into it and advise me later on, when I passed guest service later that night they had apologised and said sorry as the security guy was just checking up on me. Does the security guard check up on every guest or only when the guest is not white, fair or from European CountryIt is quite obvious this was due to the colour of my skinUpon departure from Istanbul met a couple at the airport who said they will never go back to the Kaya Palazzo as their staff are very racist, they said they experienced it 2 years ago.To management of Kaya: you have a loverly resort but your staff being racist and not friendly to nonwhile guest will not take you a long way.When guest are paying you and spending, you are not questioning the colour of the money Its all the sameKaya Palazzo had dampened our holiday sprits and gave us an absolute nightmare of a feeling during our holiday which was pleasant at all.Your staff and management need to be thought that we live in a diverse world and everyone should be treated the same.When you advertise your resort, you should advertise it with a saying WHITES ONLY. Doing this, you would not receive unwanted guest and you would not need to ruin anyones family holiday which should be a joyous occasion .I will definitely post this on TripAdvisor and Bookings.com when I am back in my office on the 1st of Nov." -Hotel,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg297930d1860206r631857761WyndhamSeaPearlResortPhuketPatongKathuPhuket.html,Date of stay: April 2018,Asia,Thailand,Phuket,unknown,"Pathetic customer service, horrible rooms and RACIST STAFF!","We stayed at this resort in April but the filthy taste that is left in our mouths has led me to write this review. Most of the positive reviews about this resort seem to be fake! To begin with, the check in to this so called 5star resort was roughly around 7 pm. The staff placed our luggage in a car and drove us to our resort since our room was further from the admin hall. Upon entering the room the floors and bathroom were filthy both bathrooms were infested with ants and roaches The worst part was the bed. We found food fragments tucked under the sheet covers and food stains. Called management who apologized and sent two workers to clean up the room around 8 pm. Quite annoying as no guest would like to come to a hotel after a long flight and leave their room cleaned because it was done prior to checking in! Came back and not much had been cleaned apart from the bathroom and one of our bedspreads. Had uneasy sleep that night! The fact that we paid money for housekeeping and the rooms were filthy for the 4 days that we were at the resort just went to show that this hotel is stingy and does take into consideration customer reviews Looking back at the reviews it is evident that similar experiences were shared by other guests. The cleaners seem to do a lousy job at cleaning and generally don't start cleaning till 2 or 3 pm in the afternoon. Another issue that arose was the OHS. The workers were cleaning the driveway in front of the customer service hall it seems like that's the only place they know how to clean there was no sign of a wet floor. We made a booking for the shuttle bus and was heading back to our resort when I slipped on the wet path and actually hurt my back. Pathetically enough all the workers could do was laugh and just look at the situation that had unfolded before them. No apology no Sorry. Frankly, the workers here seem to be extremely racist and do not know how to treat people of colour, nationality or race. Being a large resort it is assumed that you would train your staff to have appropriate customer service and empathy when dealing with international customers. We often felt intimated by the staff and hence why stopped asking for assistance as we did not feel safe. To top of the experience upon checking out and your staff were sleeping at the counter it was roughly around 8 am in the morning which clearly goes to show that there is no sense of professionalism or work ethic that exists in this resort. We made a complaint to Wyhdham and till this day we have not had a proper follow up regarding this terrible service. To all the customers considering this hotel don't bother. You can find better hotels that are cheaper and will go above and beyond to make you feel safe and comfortable." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg552140d7687889r459816131BerwickIndianTheCourthouseBerwickGreaterMelbourneVictoria.html,Date of visit: February 2017,South Pacific,Australia,Victoria,"Melbourne, Australia",Racial abuse repeatedly,"On Feb 14th for the Valentine's day couple of us with our partners and kids totally 8 of ushad visited had made a booking for 8pm dinner.Inspite of us reaching there at 8pm we were made to wait till past 9.30pm.

I am from northeast of India from a state called Arunachal Pradesh.However, I was sadly disappointed when the host of the restaurant who was an elderly lady appeared surprised when I introduced myself as an Indian. She commented on my Asian looks and gave a racial remark by saying that all the northeastern Indians look same as Chinese and Nepalese.I consider my self a proud Indian and it is very unfortunate that I have to face such racial discrimination from my own fellow Indian especially in a foreign land.

I do agree with other reviewers that there is definitely racial profiling going on at this restaurant and as a result, you can be treated differently/poorly by the owner depending on what nationality you are. On our first visit, the owner was quite strange, almost rude but on our second visit, he seemed a little better. Fortunately the waiters seem nice but the food is inconsistent. On our first visit the food was amazing. So much so that we decided to ignore the owners rude behavior and go back for a second meal during our stay in Strasbourg. Unfortunately the second time we went, the food was lacking salt and spices even though we ordered the same exact things. We were thoroughly unimpressed. I'm not sure how many Indian restaurants are in Strasbourg. If there are no others then I would eat here again as the food is decent but if you have other choices then I'd probably recommend giving those a try. Also going back to the racial profiling thing again. The owner not only treats people of Indian decent and maybe others differently but he may also ask you to pay in cash. During our first visit, the owner asked my husband directly to pay in cash when he brought over the bill which we found to be extremely strange and rude. Does he think all Indian's try to evade paying taxes so we'd understand his request Needless to say, the following time we didn't even bother taking any cash and my husband paid with credit card. In hindsight, we probably shouldn't have paid with cash the first time around either." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg229462d793193r534272250IMaroncioFrascatiProvinceofRomeLazio.html,Date of visit: October 2017,Europe,Italy,Lazio,"Stuart, Florida",Racial discrimination at I Maroncio,"Recently my wife and I were guests at Hotel Roma Sud.

Also, I noticed that they had the capacity to serve up to 200 patrons. We drove to the restaurant and arrived at about 8pm. The restaurant looked impressive and we noticed that there were only about a dozen patrons in the entire place. The head waiter greeted us and asked if we needed a table for two to which I replied in the affirmative. He led us to the entrance to the main dining room which we noticed was entirely empty. Upon approaching the dining area we were blocked by a man who seemed to be one of the owners or general manager. He stood in front of us and waved his hands repeating the English word ""full"" over and over again. He would not seat or serve us. The could only be one reason for this behavior, I am a white American and my wife is a black American. My wife was in tears as she had never experienced anything like this in all of our many trips to Europe and travels around the entire United States.

I was told by an employee that various playlist could be requested, based upon the managers preference on site. I then asked their events manager and operations manager about my the idea of choosing a playlist and the operations manager automatically responded by saying ""this is a family establishment"" despite the fact that I did not even allude to what type of music I wanted to listen to. As I escalated the issue, their operations and events manager misrepresented the truth to the owner and said I mentioned a ""heavier rap and hip hop"" playlist. Until this organization takes the steps to address how to identify candidates that would potentially be biases, implements the necessary disciplinary actions to avoid it and increases diversity in race, gender and experience within their management team, I will boycott this venue and suggest that you do the same. Any establishment that supports bigotry, racial biases, racial profiling is an organization that will fund and support other causes that are aligned with these perspectives and deserve to go out of business. I addressed this with one of their owners but they took the side of their employees and it is clear that they will not take the necessary next steps to correct this action.

Racial Profiling Threats,"On June 10, 2018, I am deeply regretful for my hospitality here at Minami Ibiza Japanese Restaurant located in the Ushuaia establishment. Not only was my visit unpleasant but the staff were completely rude. From racial profiling to threatening my friends. The manager at the restaurant called us Fing Monkeys in which my friends are indeed from an Indian background and yelled for us To get the Fing out The issue escalated when the staff begun to become rude and raise their voices at us for no apparent reason but us enjoying ourselves on holiday. We suggested the manager to talk to his rude employee, in which we came at a suggesting point. The manager then becomes hostile and yells at us and states the exact words of You Fing monkeys need to get the F out of my restaurant then the security comes and said to us If we were in the street, Id beat the F out of your A'ss's right now. Is this something we expect to hear as guests Or someone who is on holiday coming here as a place for comfort, dining experience and hospitality Your staff is completely despicable. To treat tourists the way they did that day. I never felt more at risk for my life the way they made me, and my friends felt before. The manager, staff and security of Minami restaurant is a huge disappointment to be established in association with Ushuaia. Please address this situation with your staff therefore this would prevent to happen in the future. Theres definitely no customer service skills or managerial skills and need immediate define training or a new profession. As a manager, instead of bashing a paying customer and guests of Ushuaia. I would suggest appointing an employee of professionalism and listen to their customers instead of racial profiling for the color of their skin and threatening us for being concerned for the type of employees we had to encounter during our visit. Huge disappointment for someone whos paid for nights there and will never return again. This was definitely not worth my money, my time, or my words but the world needed to know what type of establishment this has become during my visit.NOTE: Words have been adjusted due to TripAdvisor's profanity policy." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg54319d1139616r416927768BerrysSeafoodLittleRiverSouthCarolina.html,Date of visit: September 2016,United States,South Carolina SC,Little River,South Carolina,Hostile racial environment.,"I went to Berry's Seafood in North Myrtle Beach.

The ceiling was literally collapsing, old dilapidated pictures hang crooked on the wall, and the decor is totally stuck in a time warp not in a good ""retro"" kind of way. The air conditioning/heating ducts are covered in a thick layer of dust, blowing right above your head and food. All of that could have been forgiven had we received decent service.The appetizers arrived not too long after and were decent.The food is definitely overpriced, with prices much higher than the average prices of better restaurants in more central parts of Israel. The mains were disappointing. The chicken was so dry and overspiced. The fish was alrightnothing to write home about. HOWEVER, it took forever for the mains to arrive. It was the middle of the week and the restaurant was fairly empty, yet we waited over 30 minutes. Anytime we wanted something and tried to call the servers over, they either ignored or didn't notice us. The waitress there was completely apathetic, as if she wanted to be anywhere but there. We had to get up and go get them several times. When they brought the menus, nothing was explained. Not once did they check on us to ask how everything was.What was most frustrating was a group that arrived a good 30 minutes after us received all of their food, including mains, right away. After reading the mix of very negative very positive reviews here, it is quite clear this is an old neighborhood restaurant with a lot of local regulars who've been patrons of the restaurant for decades. The regulars are a priority seem to receive excellent service and attention from the wait staff, while the tourists and newbies are relegated subpar virtually nonexistent service. We noticed a reviewer made allegations of racial discrimination, but I would simply call this discrimination against new customers. Really, we cannot understand how this restaurant is still around with such horrible service except that the service for newbies vs. the longtime local patrons is night day.We are not picky at all and rarely do we feel the need to write a review, but the service was so bad, I would urge anyone to think twice before dining there." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg293982d2459263r597199592DolphinHaifaHaifaDistrict.html,Date of visit: May 2018,Middle East,Israel,Haifa District,"New York City, New York",overprice food / racial discrimination,"I was with my mom , and We got chicken and Fish, The food was oily and not fresh .

NonVegetarian Food Despite Requesting for Vegetarian Food,"I went to Pong Buffe last Saturday, March 30th. I feel sorry that I did as I had my 1st experience of racial discrimination in Sweden, ironically at a Thai Asian restaurant. Not just that, their kitchen can't be trusted and the staff is rude, irresponsible and talks as if they are doing a favour by letting people eat in their restaurant. I specifically mentioned that I am a vegetarian but was served chicken soup despite several reiterations from my side while placing the order. Please read below the complete experience of the humiliating experience I had.I entered the restaurant and asked the girl at the counter if I could have vegetarian food, as I am a vegetarian. She said it was possible. We discussed the menu for 12 minutes and she went inside. I kept waiting but when she did return for sometime, so I went inside assuming she must have gotten busy serving other guests. This is what happened then:1 I went inside and sat on a chair when another staff a young boy came rushing to me and told me that I can't sit there in a room full of people. When I asked him the reason, he said it was reserved. When I inquired why I could not see any ""reserved"" sign on the table if that was the case, he went back and the girl who I had spoken to earlier came back and repeated the same. I asked the same question on reservation signs missing. She then said that I can't sit as I have not placed any order which is what I was BTW waiting for as I was hungry. I told her that that's what I would like to do and that the staff should not behave and talk in this way to their guests. I again confirmed that I am a vegetarian and I don't eat even eggs, fish or fish oil and ordered my food soup and fried rice to get started with.2 The same girl came in sometime and plonked a water bottle very rudely and said ""you can have water if you want.""3 The guy who told me earlier that I could not sit there came back with the food I had ordered. I tasted rice and found the rice to be completely bland despite my requesting in advance if they could make it spicy for me. I was still fine thinking that may be that's how rice are cooked there. I then tasted my soup and spotted some weird chunks. I called the same person again to check. He came after a while and confirmed it was chicken. I felt disgusted in my mouth and stomach at that moment. When I confronted him on what was happening why was I served nonvegetarian food and earlier told that I could not sit he told me that now indeed I could sit there. Wow, I felt so grateful for being allowed to sit to have food which I abstain from!! I asked him to call his manager so I could speak to him.4 Their manager, David, came and I told him about what had happened. He told me it was kitchen's mistake as they overlooked the note written by the waitress and that I don't need to pay for the food he repeated this 23 times. I found this to be so funny and outrageous at the same time I would have appreciated some sensitivity here. He said while he was sorry, humans can make errors and I should cooperate just the way he was cooperating with me! I still don't understand how he was cooperating with me perhaps by letting me in or letting me sit to order for paid food what a big favour! I told him it was very irresponsible on the staff and kitchen's part to attempt to humiliate their guests and serve them what they abstain from.5 I got up and walked out with my head held high someone who was traveling abroad for the first time would have perhaps very humiliated and embarrassed without any fault of theirs. Clearly my trip to Sweden was marred with this experience and not to mention the pukish feeling I had that entire day." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg35805d6532975r653125193IOUrbanRoofscapeChicagoIllinois.html,Date of visit: February 2019,United States,Illinois IL,Chicago,unknown,Never Again!!!!

He said it was policy and on the website, which was his first lie, because I have yet to find the policy and he couldn't even show us. Then, said the space isn't made for large groups to congregate. BUT if we wanted to pay for a table then we could go up and congregate. So you're telling me your establishment is not made for big groups, but if we buy a table you can accommodate a big group Hmmmm how stupid does that sound Now you're lying to me again, BRAD. Then, he said they can't just have us all standing around congregating. I'm sorry, what difference would it make if we all came in pairs of two or four once we were in the lounge, we still would have been socializing together because IT'S A LOUNGE AND PEOPLE SOCIALIZE!!! Then BRAD makes a statement about people not buying drinks. Now we're getting somewhere, BRAD!!! I completely understand it's about money, but for you to automatically assume that because we are a group and we didn't pay for a table, which we didn't want anyway, that we would go up and not buy drinks is extremely insulting. You know what they say about assuming! Like we seriously were here to celebrate a birthday. What would make you think we weren't going to buy drinks So, next we asked for the manager Ashley, just to get clarification and BRAD said she was upstairs and didn't want to come down. Not understanding, if she's a manager why wouldn't she come down That's bad business and customer service on her part. THEN TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE.... as we are standing trying to understand BRAD's logic, he literally let a whole GROUP of 10 people, who I will state were all Caucasian, in to go up right in front of us and guess what!! They didn't have table reservations, because we made sure to ask them as they all were filing in line. But since they knew somebody there, they were allowed to go up. Hmmm now, there is a bigger problem. Oh and interesting enough someone in our party was actually texting Ashley about what was going on, and she stated that she wasn't even on the premises. Hmmmm so who is lying and what is the reason for lying This is my second time having an issue with this establishment and the last. Not wanting to make this a racial issue, but it clearly is and in 2019, people will not tolerate the disrespect. Our group gladly took our money to Sound Bar Night Club and the birthday girl had an amazing 21st birthday. That was your final time, IO Godfrey, and I will make sure to make others aware of how you treat people who just want to come and have a good time like everyone else!" -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg187497d803281r624137660PlaRestaurantBarcelonaCatalonia.html,Date of visit: October 2018,Europe,Spain,Catalonia,unknown,Racial Discrimination,"We were a group comprising of three Indians and one Italian, and I begin with this because it is imperative to what follows. We had reserved a table online for Pla for dinner at 7:00 p.m. on 7th October, Sunday. We receive an email confirmation and have also provided two separate phone numbers with our booking. So at 6:55 p.m. when we reached there, we find the place empty. We asked the manager/ attendant for our reservation and he pretended not to understand the name in which the booking was made, so we spelled it out for him. He again insists that he doesn't have that booking. By then we are able to see his computer with the list of reservations and we spot our name and his reaction is that, ""oh, sorry this booking seems to have been cancelled"". So we say that we have received a confirmation email and we were not contacted regarding any cancellation and if he could accommodate us anyway. He apologized saying that its according tot he computerised system and they were fully booked despite the fact that till then not a single table had been occupied. Anyway during this time one of us decided to use the washroom and the rest of us stepped out to wait. We realised that his attitude was very strange and yet we did not want to spoil our vacation by arguing with a restaurant manager in another country. One of us went upto him and gave him our piece of mind in English and that how it reflected rather poorly on their service and So we asked him for another recommendation which we found to be extremely third rate and would have never even stopped to see the menu of had we been in our country. Nevertheless we left the place having given our number to the manager/ attendant. Soon after within ten minutes, we got a call from the manager/ attendant saying that the table was available. This attitude was highly shocking as to how the sequence of events played out. Ultimately we concluded that the entire incident was a case of racial discrimination as it was extremely strange as to how the confirmed reservation could get cancelled without us getting any information. I would give this place a zero rating and not recommend to anyone. Irrespective of how the food may have tasted here." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg42763d5456965r578905677ChinaKingExpressTroyMichigan.html,Date of visit: May 2018,United States,Michigan MI,Troy,"Troy, Michigan",RACIAL DISCRIMINATION AT A CHINESE RESTAURANT....,"I HAVE NEVER BEEN RACIALLY DISCRIMINATED AT A RESTAURANT BEFORE.

We cut through the store and I let him walk around Northtown until he gets tired. When I cut back through Best Buy, sometimes I stop in the bathroom to wash his hands. But I can count a handful of times when a worker just happens to come into the bathroom a few minutes after I go in. Now it takes me longer because I am washing my kids hands, putting him back in his stroller, and sometimes using the bathroom. I get why one may be suspicious when they take a little longer. But today I was pretty annoyed. Guy came in right as I was strapping in my kid, I had to check to see if he was really peeing or checking on me, I walk out and their is a guy with a headset getting a drink of water. If this was my first experience at this best buy, I'd think it was maybe a coincidence, but it was like my 5th at least. I used to work security, I understand how security systems operate, and how the bathroom is a good spot to steal stuff. But let me break it down, just because I have darker skin doesn't mean I have plans to steal something from your store. I wonder if the employees treat every white boy that uses the bathroom this way, always checking up on them I have been a customer in the past, I purchased a 300 camera set from your store, but after this most recent act of racial profiling, I hope no people of color choose to present their business to your store. It is one thing to live in white privilege above the minorities in society, thus I have accepted. But when you have to come at me purely because of the color of my skin; because I look more suspicious than a white person, its unacceptable. The last time I can remember taking something that wasn't mine was in the 2nd grade, it was chalk from a teacher, it was stupid, I felt really bad, but theft is not an issue for me. I try to keep doing my thing, accepting society for the way it is. But when I have to engage in the subtleties of Racism, it becomes challenging to look the other way, to forget the inequalities we live in daily.

Including them,everything was so slow to be served.The oysters became smaller than before. Detailed statementbill didn't come. I got tired too much to complain so I didn't ask to give me. I endured and calculated.But maybe other staff felt sorry, the same male staff gave me paper napkin a lot every time the dishes came. I was hungry so I ate pizza and dessert too.

We visited Sushi Masa on Sunday, September 14, 2014 at approximately 12:00 pm. We were escorted to a booth in the very back of the restaurant where we could not be seen by customers. When I requested to be seated in a different section near the front, the hostess and server both told me that the section was closed. However, there was only one other family of the same size as mine in the entire restaurant. This other family was allowed in the front of the restaurant near the entrance where we had requested to be seated. When I brought that to the attention of the hostess and server, they rudely told me that every section in the restaurant was closed and only the booth they had offered me was opened. We ultimately left and went to another restaurant nearby. It is unfortunate that while a white family was allowed near the front, my family was restricted to a certain circumscribed area of the restaurant on the basis of our race.

As I was walking through the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, I was quite impressed with the setting and the layout of the restaurant and bar. The menu also looked very appetising. However, soon after I was seated I quickly realised that I had made a mistake as I felt very unwelcome by two members of staff. Only the waiter who invited me in to have dinner acknowledged me during my visit to the restaurant. I sat for over 15 minutes before my order was taken. During my wait, one female waitress just looked at me, looked off and pretended I didn't exist while doing absolutely nothing. Her male colleague did the exact same thing. Their other colleague seemed quite annoyed when he realised that his colleagues were seemingly ignoring my presence and came over and promptly took my order. I ordered the Lasange alla Bolognese for dinner which was served in a reasonable time. The meal was indeed very tasty and filling and was 22. The mistake I made was ordering a CocaCola to discover when I got the bill that it cost me 9 for a can! What a rip off. The other annoying thing was the cover charge of 7 which is levied on each customer. Overall, my dinner of lasagne and one CocaCola cost me 37.50 and a share of mild racial abuse. This will NEVER happen to me again and I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone! There are much better places in the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II to eat. I also absolutely regretted not taking out my Trip Advisor app on my smartphone to check the reviews on this restaurant. If I had, I would have seen the 1.5 rating it had out of 5 stars.

Notwithstanding the above, we reentered the queue with 4 females as a group and were again denied entry.4. If this was not insulting enough, on questioning the seemingly discriminatory behaviour of The Long Room, the same doorman went further and proclaimed that we were as ""dumb as we looked"".As two Australian born professionals with Master level degrees and Italian parenthood, we found this whole incident to be absolutely degrading, derogatory and discriminatory. This was clearly evident to certain females in the line that witnessed the exchange and felt the need to apologise to us in embarrassment.For the avoidance of doubt, we were not intoxicated and complied with the dress code which was never disputed. This kind of discriminatory treatment should not be tolerated.

At 2 pm on March 29, 2019, I met two racist staff members in the restaurant. When I went to the counter to order some food, there were two female staffs. In the beginning, I was behind a white male customer. After he finished ordering the meal, it's my turn to order the meal. However, there was another white male customer who suddenly appeared and stood near the counter, a female staff completely ignored me and asked him what does he need. I waited for about 5 minutes until the female staff gave the drinking that the male customer needed. I think it should be my turn now, however, at the moment another white female customer came and just stood near me, the female staff member completely ignored me again and asked the white female customers what she needs. Finally, I gave up the order and left the restaurant. In the process, I waited for 20 minutes in front of the counter, and the two female staff totally ignored me in the process. Obviously, this is a kind of racial discrimination.

Inquiring twice, the restaurant could not find nor attempted to find a table for us on 2 of the nights we inquired.Asked twice, denied twice by the staff.Both times, the hostess looked at us and said wryly that no tables were available.I even informed them that we were guests in the lodge.The hostess did not even check the reservations list she just said they were fully booked.After being denied the second time, surprisingly I found that there were open tables available I checked on Open Table online and found multiple openings available. On the second night, there were 5:15, 5:30, and 9pm seatings available.A restaurant who has guest at their lodge should go to great efforts to accommodate their guests as they are the ones who paid for the stay.When I saw other guests being served outside the restaurant front lobby who did not have reservations, I was shocked that the hostess did not offer to serve us as well. I was quite shocked at observing racial discrimination in a resort location in a highly democratic state like California.This led me to conclude that the staff who were white did not want Asians in their restaurant.

We were totally ignored by the staff no welcome, got our table on our own, had to fetch the menu card, and no one took our order. I had initially asked for a dessert menu card and the waiter simply dropped the dinner/snack menu at our table without even acknowledging us. Given that we couldnt catch the attention of any waiter, I had to go pick up the right card on my own at the cashier. The manager said someone would come to wait on us, but almost 10 minutes later, we thought it was a hopeless case and that we were blatantly being ignored. So we decided to leave. Eventually shared my thoughts with the manager who proposed complementary dessert but no way I could accept that! I explained that I could afford to pay for my consumption. Whats shocking is that tourists were eagerly welcomed by the manager and staff and led to their tables. Menu cards were handed to them promptly. The 2 tables next to ours were waited on multiple times whilst I tried my best to get their attention.

Im going to start with finding a hair in one of our pizzas, which was taken away with no apology and a fresh one returned. Ironically this was the least horrible thing to happen during the lunch. This incident was followed by watching the staff simply rinse cutlery No soap and towel dry them and hand them to us. The over all hygiene of the restaurant was poor, there were flies everywhere, and the toilets in particular were disgusting. Yet not as disgusting as the attitude of one waiter, Seus, who when when I asked where the pealla was as we had been waiting over 35mins for it, and had not been told when ordering that it had a minimum waiting time of 20 mins and this is also not printed on the menu he responded rudely that it was coming and walked past us muttering under his breath in spanish. Eventually when the paella came, he came over to the table raised his voice at me yelling 'Minimum 20 mins!!', completely embarrassing us and even had his colleagues looking at him in shock. At this point we asked for the complaints form as this behaviour and the hygiene was unacceptable. Whilst filling in the form, Seus carried carried on walking past our table stomping his feet and still muttering under his breath, and even dropped a dirty napkin on one of the pizzas, whilst we saw this was not done intentionally its not like anyone is going to finish any food a dirty napkin has fallen on. After filling in the form and passing it Seus to write his counter side, he read over it and came over to argue with us about what was written!! Suddenly he spoke english!! I told him we did not want to argue with him, that he should just fill in the form. Annoyed at being dismissed, he mostly directed his anger at me Being portuguese, I spoke the most broken spanish of the three of us He shouted 'you are crazy' several times across the restaurant and that I should ' Go back to your country' 'go back to Portugal' Absolutly disgusting behaviour!!!

We entered this venue, Staff instantly walking past myself and friend; not making eye contact, not responding to queries opting to shuffle table cloths or adjust chairs at empty tables instead of attending queuing customers.We waited 10 mins as a table for 2 behind one couple. It could be clearly seen that several tables were FREE part of the reason for walking IN, in the first place.

My Italian friend was confused and did not understand. I clearly understood what was going on.Disappointed that this still goes on and I don't know how you can treat customers like this in such an ethnically diverse area. Shame on you and your representation of Italians. It will also be clear to people who read La Forchetta reviews from 2010 to 2018 that the only people who appear to be served at La Forchetta are not just largely, but ONLY from one ethnicity. Even THIS Trip Advisor site is not carrying a nonwhite review I checked at the time of writing.You will not be getting my custom and I will be notifying my others of how you treat patrons.

We walked in, looked around, and after a moment of confusion we were pointed to just go to the other side of the restaurant by a waitress at another table; she was not specific and I felt odd being directed in such a manner. I should have turned around and left at that point. Instead I gave her the benefit of the doubt that she was busy. We sat down and a different waitress dressed the same brought us menus and took our drink order. Drinks came; family and I ordered; I asked for the daily special, a chile relleno. Another two tables were seated after we ordered. Two ladies in particular were right across from us they looked like they had just finished a round of illegal drugs, alcohol, or both. Five minutes later I am told they don't have the special. Okay; I ordered something else. Another ten minutes goes by and I clearly see the chile relleno special heading over to the table behind me!! I am upset but quiet. ANOTHER TEN minutes goes by and the TWO LADIES in front of me who arrived AFTER us get their food!... BUT WAIT.. Not only do they get their food, but they get enough food to feed 3 families !!! After the waitress brings them 3 trips from the kitchen, they are already asking for togo plates to fill up. The entire time I have been calming my nerves watching the Sunday football game on the television mounted uncomfortably too high. If I was older, my neck would be hurt by this time. We receive our food. Not even five minutes later, the ladies turned off all of the televisions. There goes the game I was watching and actually enjoying... The waitress comes to the table and asks if we want anything else because the kitchen is closing in 5 minutes..!! It was not even 3pm their closing time that day yet and they are shutting everything down to get the hell out of there.. ..the waitress placed our ticket on the table and asked that we pay immediately before the registers close. We weren't even halfway through our meals!!! The ladies across from us did not get the same treatment, nor were they told of the kitchen closing nor were they asked to pay yet. We had our credit card ready on the table, and the waitress did not come by to receive payment; not for another 20 minutes!! Instead the waitresses were heard yelling with the cook possibly the owner in noticeably vulgar language. They had two separate yelling sessions involving all of the waitresses 56 of them. All this time we had no drink refills NOR were we offered any before we left. They finally came around for our payment after they had already turned off all of the kitchen area lights.

What we didn't know was that there was a day party going on at the lounge the same day. We encouraged the entire guest list to get line passes, and we bought a bundle of them ourselves. We arrived at around 7:30 pm as the day party was ending and got in with our line passes. We had spoken with an employee about potentially doing a VIP table and bottle service, and upon arrival found out that Saturday nights have a minimum purchase of 3 bottles at 250 per bottle. We weren't sure that we had enough people coming to make the deal worth it so we decided to sit outside and just drink at the bar. We had used about half of our line pass allotment when i was notified that some of my party were having issues getting in to the bar. They were told that only people with reservations or line passes were allowed in due to a party that started at 7. The Vertigo crew wanted to ensure that those who had reserved had room to enter and enjoy the club. Perfectly fine. we were able to use the rest of our pre purchased passes to get inFast forward to around 1130 pm when business has only slightly picked up. Mind you we were informed that the lounge usually is shoulder to shoulder packed by1030pm, and we are freely moving about because the place is pretty empty. The majority of my party were outside enjoying the night summer air when a few of us came in to grab a bite to eat no food out the outside deck. We have some food and a few drinks inside and attempt to go back on the outdoor roof space, there is a short line to stand in, as only so many people can be outside at one time. We wait patiently in line and finally when we're next at the door we watch a group of people come in the lounge area and assume we'll be let out next. No, a group of people who were not in line were let out next. We asked why and the door man said it was because they 'have a reservation'. Okay fine. This continues to happen and we start paying attention to where these people are coming from, some of them from the back of the same line we're in. We are a respectable group of young professionals who just wanted to celebrate my birthday in a nice out door rooftop space, and maybe it was on us for assuming that entry to the lounge would mean that we'd get to respectfully enjoy all of the amenities. It is worth mentioning that there were about 12 people in my group, all of us blackthe only black folks in the whole place,and the staff for the night were white, i work in river north and while i wish i could say this was a first, it wasnt." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg255345d756461r199595596LakeOfChinaChineseRestaurantBairnsdaleGippslandVictoria.html,Date of visit: March 2014,South Pacific,Australia,Victoria,"Horsham, Australia",Terrible horrible dining experience and racial remarks from the owner.,I been to this restaurant with my wife and one year old daughter .we asked for a high chair and they forgot to deliver in between .

It is well located with free parking. The bar and restaurant menu have a wide selection of choices. The food is well prepared and generous in size. Restaurant service is good. Their beverage list is well matched with what they offer.They also have a spacious Gaming Room with slot machines. Unfortunately, I had a very bad experience with the service provided by a specific frontline employee at The Station. My machine ran out of coins. When that happens they automatically get notified and someone comes to refill etc. In this instance I waited for fifteen minutes and no one turned up. I thought maybe they were not aware of it so went to the main counter to tell them. But the staff there said that they knew, and someone will come to service the slot machine. I thanked them and went back to the machine I was playing. Five minutes later a staff, Tod, came to refill the machine. He immediately started telling me off in a most insulting manner in front of the other patrons who were there playing the machines fortunately, none of them stared at me or took any obvious interest in his tirade. He extremely rudely told me that I should just wait. I was so stunned by his nasty treatment of me and cannot recall what else he blasted at me. The whole encounter left me terrified and awfully upset that I was verbally assaulted for having done nothing wrong and became a victim of a highly unsatisfied employee. An employee who had indicated his dislike of me previously as well.That incidence left me wondering whether I was racially discriminated by Tod or whether he hates his job so much that he feels he can out rightly insult an innocent customer. Perhaps, he needs training in customer service or help with his anger management or guidance on how to curb his arrogance. It seems, Tod is not the only one who has issues. I was there on 5th June when the machine I was playing needed handpay. So, while waiting for someone to come with the money I went and played another machine. Previously, I had been told by a staff that if there are several machines free to play another machine while waiting for a staff; a practice I have seen many people at this place doing. The Gaming Room had probably only 6 people there and most of the machines were unoccupied. Wyatt, another employee, brought my money and I signed for the receipt of it. I mentioned to him that I will continue playing that machine once I take my money from the machine I went on while waiting for the service. He started telling me off loudly that I am not allowed to play two machines at the same time. In a harsh and authoritative manner, he told me to empty it now which I was doing to get back to my original machine. I told him I was doing so. But that was not enough for him and he stood there treating me like I had committed some crime. As he was leaving I said to him that I am not God to be playing two machines far apart at the same time. I went back there since that incidence and noticed that now they have placed a Notice stating that one cannot play two machines at the same time. A Notice that was not there when my insult, discrimination and victimization happened. While there, I watched Tod come to refill a machine twice when the player was playing a second machine and said nothing to her. Exactly what I had done when Wyatt verbally attacked me.As a responsible senior citizen, these encounters at the Station left me deeply disappointed, aggrieved and terrified. All I can think of is that I have been racially discriminated by those two employees. They dont treat other people there like what they did to me. Very sad." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg2698766d6883457r461203500TheDeckGovernorsHarbourEleutheraOutIslandsBahamas.html,Date of visit: February 2017,Caribbean,Bahamas,Out Islands,"Columbus, Ohio",Stay away!! Read other reviews and visit at your peril,"The Deck has a great location, but I can not recommend it because of the owner, Mark. He was the only person there when we arrived, and he was clearly drunk or high or both. While we went swimming he decided, without our input, to prepare three burgers for the four of us. The three burgers and 3 beers and maybe an ice tea came to 88! But the worst part of our experience was his foul language replete with racial epithets. The four of us and especially the two women, were VERY uncomfortable and couldn't wait to leave. Afterward, we read reviews of this place on TripAdvisor.

The place was built and designed very well. The owner Mark was very loud and obnoxious, but nothing bad enough to leave. He progressively got worse after doing shots and going behind the bar for a minute and coming out several times. After a long swim, around 1pm, we ordered another round of drinks big mistake, he became louder and starting cursing every other word, saying racial slurs mainly directed at jewish and african peoples, and insulting his own mother a lot. He had his drug dealer stop by to drop off some pot to him and he asked me to pay for the first round of drinks, which I did. He went on to show his scar from the car accident while exposing himself. At the end he billed us again for the first round and after I explained that we paid already, he became very combative and was not willing to listen. If you have to go here, go early when the owner is less high and drunk.

On our first visit he made inappropriate and racial comments, including offering to show photos of a recent car accident surgery! Our second visit was worse! The owner and the only wait staff there was drunk and hardly able to carry on a coherent conversation. He also shared a marijuana cigarette with another group on the patio.

Also the table was sticky and the bowl with all the sauces was full of sticky ketchup and used sauce wrappers. Ordered food which came within the expected time, I ordered the mixed starters of mushrooms, onion rings and garlic bread which was nice. As a main I had the half chicken which was also very nice.

I will not go into the details about the encounter but clearly it was enough to prompt my need to address the store manager immediately after it occurred.The manager comped the next purchase on behalf of the store's apology for the event. Moving forward, I received that same disparate mistreatment after being told that it would not happen again. I was interrogated at the register with a battery of questions about the validity of my statement and was refused the comped purchase by a cashier. She actually made quite the scene walking over to the front manager in the middle of my purchase and loudly questioning the validity of my statement until the front manager said ""yes, he is allowed that coffee today.""

Food was nice, four of us had been enjoying ourselves until after desert. The waiter came with bill without being asked. After one minute, he came back with card machine without being asked again! No explanation, not a word being said, just standing next to our table. It was such a rude behavior. We understand Friday is busy night, however we started at 6:20, it was only 8:30 when we were forced to pay the bill. No customers were waiting for seats. Other tables who came before us were still there, how come we were treated this way This made me feel that somehow the waiter or manager particularly chose us because we are Chinese. Its racist. I am being regular customer of your restaurant, have been to different branches around Birmingham and Bromsgrove. This service definitely should not happen to your restaurant. We were really very angry being treated that way. And I still feel indignant when I am writing this. I have never experienced this kind of rude service in any restaurant. It is beyond even basic human politeness. Standing next to the table with card machine and make customers pay and leave What restaurant is this! What service is this ! Why we pay 120 and get this service We ordered wine, no one poured the wine for us, fine, we not being fuss about this kind of bad service. Does Miller and Carter value customers this way How would I tell all my friends about your service Is it because you are not worrying about getting customers Your service sucks. I hope my letter would make Miller and Carter management realize a good restaurant should not only provide good food but also a comfortable service. For my experience, your staff need to be trained on how to treat customers with respect and basic politeness. Before we left the restaurant, we made a complaint to the duty manager Oliver. He did not give us a good response and did not ask the waiter to apologize to us. He offered to investigate. I hope he did mean it.

I called my mom a lawyer and hopefully we will be able to shut this place down. Every review in here that is bad, trust me its the truth. If you are from St.Louis, it's not unusually to see a American African with blonde hair. So the manager can hold off on the racial profile herself.

If they ALL made that special notes, then it is NOT special, it is called COMMON. Later on, after the conversation, I heard some word, which are very judgmental about my ethnicity.

I also hope that restaurant staff will see this and make sure it doesn't happen again.We are a group of 9 Chinese tourists. At first, a Chinese female staff helped us and explained that they only had 4 2person tables, if not we will have to wait. We agreed to wait and said that we would be okay with being split into 2 tables too. After 10 minutes, a table for 6 became available, but a male Caucasian staff gave it to a small group of Caucasian customers behind us in the queue. I approached him and asked why it wasn't given to us, and he said that he would only seat us when a 9people table is available. I then explained that I have told his colleague that we were happy to be seated separately, so he should have given us the table. He then said, ""I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU TOLD HER. I AM THE ONE IN CHARGE."" Finding it hard to believe, I repeated the question, and told him it should not be my responsibility to know that the staff who placed me in the queue was not the one in charge of allocating tables. They work together and should have communicated between themselves. He then repeated again that he didn't care what I told the other staff, and he would seat us where and when he liked since he was the one in charge. I asked to speak to the manager instead, and he said that he was in fact the manager. He did not once try to communicate with his colleague.We were utterly surprised how he not only ignored what us as customers has said, but also refused to acknowledge what his own colleague has arranged or said at all. It was not only rude, but also completely unreasonable. If a customer reserved a table through a member of his staff, would he say ""I don't care what you told her, I am the one in charge"", and ignore the reservation tooI would not want to think that the reason for such bizzarre attitude was racial discrimination, but it seems to be a more plausible reason. Afterall, both the female staff and I are small, Chinese females. Or, maybe he simply thinks that since so many customers come to the restaurant anyway, that he doesn't need to treat people with basic respect That being the manager, he was above all of us, customer or colleague, and could do whatever he likesI don't think anyone should have to deal with such a rude and unreasonable restaurant manager.

Every time I would go to visit the Keys, I would either stop on the way down or on my way home. So, since we were on our way back from Key West yesterday, a stop here was in order. My boyfriend has never been to the Keys and I was really excited to bring him here. He picked out an Alabama Jacks shirt to buy and then we sat at a small table right next to the bar and we could hear several conversations from other patrons. There was also a lady that was sitting at the bar doing, what looked like, paperwork for the restaurant. The first thing that my boyfriend heard was ""we don't serve Democrats here"". Which in turn turned into a conversation between several men at the bar talking about Obama and ""nggrs"" and guns and shooting them, something along those lines. Let me just say that I am not a fan of politics and my boyfriend is biracial, with roots in Jamaica. After this happens, an entirely different patron walked by us twice and stopped each time. The first time stated the same thing about the Republican/Democrat thing. The second time he stopped he said that he was a fixture there and 'made his rounds'. He then stated that he will talk to anyone there, ""...including that black lady over there."" pointing to a woman in the corner. At this point my boyfriend and I were so appalled that he just wanted to leave and felt extremely uncomfortable. I told him to go out to the car and I would deal with it. I had to really control my anger, so I got the attention of the server, whom was a very sweet girl. I told her what happened and funny enough, she already knew that there was tension in the air and knew exactly whom the people were before I even pointed them out. I told her that I would not support this place ever again. I only had a couple of bites of the food I had ordered and neither of us finished our drinks. The server told me I had to speak with the bartender. When I explained to him how disgusted I was, the lady that had been doing paperwork at the bar chimed in and without even making eye contact with me, confirmed that the men at the bar were saying racial slurs. So, why was this allowed to continue until all but one of these men actually left And the bartender making comments too Then he tried to tell me several times that ""this place is not like that"". I have been in the restaurant business for my entire life and never have I ever heard customers or employees speak about someone like this. If it were ever to happen at a bar I was bartending, I would've told those people to keep their opinions to themselves or they could leave. The best part is that as I was leaving, one of the men that was making comments, made a gesture at me, and the lady at the bar told the server to tell me that I could have the shirt for free...no words. We will never go back. Ever. For the record, this is the very first review I have ever written.

I arrived in Zante Friday the 30th August for two weeks and since then i have had three forms of verbal abuse and two acts of assault. I am not the type of person to cause trouble hence why I have always been respectful and empathetic to the staff when declining their invitation to eat at the restaurant as I'm aware that it is there job to get customers in.My original plan was to eat there on the day before I leave but all had changed at this point After my pattern of not going into the restaurant the staff starting become more and more rude towards me , if they said something to me that was rude I would ignore them and i I even ignored the fact that they had called me the n word . On Friday 6th September when I had walked past the restaurant and the two members of staff have targeted me and threw stones at me with force leaving a bruise on my Leg and when I challenged them about it I was shouted at by the sleezy looking gentlemen and they had pushed me also at this point I will admit I lost my cool but it was justified. I had taken this further to the manager and nothing was done.I am strong believer in the staff representing the image of what kind of business this restaurant is and going by what the absolute disrespect I was shown I believe the company is based on racism and sexism as I was always respectful and was treated appallingly by staff. I feel that this abuse was discrimination against my race and my gender being a black woman and due to calm nature they felt it was okey for their frustrations to be taken out on me when other British tourist was extremely rude to the two men.I would never pull the race card towards anyone unless I was sure it was racial abuse but I had heard that this was not the first time the staff had acted like this and many girls had received perverse comments from the two awful men.I would avoid this restaurant and I suggest you take a walk to Nikos cocktails where the food is delicious and the staff are lovely they have wifi and don't pester you if you wish not to go in.

Their sweets are great and the service is generally good. However, this was my first time visiting the Laval location, and never have I ever experienced such a horrible encounter with a business in my life. There was a line when we arrived, which was not a problem for us although I didn't understand why as there seemed to be plenty of tables free. We waited in line for about 1520mins and during our wait I noticed people just leaving after speaking to the guy seating people. Coincidentally the two groups in the line that left were of Arab and the other what to me seemed of Indian background more on that later. I didn't think much of it at the time, nor the idea of anything to do with race crossed my mind as personally I've never had an encounter of racial discrimination with a business.So our turn comes and I tell the guy that we are a group of six. He replied saying ohh I'm not sure we have a table for you at the moment you guys are a large group, it will be a long wait for you guys. Mind you every other group infront of us aside from the two that left were seated as soon as their turn in the line came up. So I told him that I can see from here multiple tables free outside, some that are even beside each other so you can easily connect two tables. He replied saying that the manager has clearly instructed them not to move tables even if they are beside each other. I asked him if we can be seated inside instead as it was almost empty. He replied saying they didn't have staff to wait the tables inside. At this point I started to get frustrated as he seemed to have an excuse for anything that means us not getting a table. So I asked to speak to his manager, which he replied that he had left. Of course that was a complete lie as I find it hard to believe that a restaurant of that size is left with no person in charge on Saturday Night at 7:00pm. So I told him that we'll wait for that table outside then, but he kept replying with i don't know when we'll be able to get you that table. Meanwhile multiple other groups got seated as soon as their turn in the line came up with varying group sizes, while we sat there waiting. That was until another group of middleeastern people got their turn and they were also given a response of that they'd have to wait and then they ended up leaving. Right then is where I felt something is nor right, so I went up again asking him that at least 6 more groups have been seated while we were waiting and I find it hard to believe that our table for SIX still can't be arranged. He replied saying he didn't have a table yet and he still doesn't know when we'll be able to get our table.At this point we just decided to leave as I was just so disgusted by the racial discrimination that this staff was showing us. It was so upsetting to all of us that it ruined everyone's night, and not because we couldn't dine at a place that we were excited to go to, but at the treatment we received at this institution. And judging from a few other reviews of this place now that I read them, it seems this is not a one time occurrence." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg32513d4059116r649506706KillarneyPubGrillHuntingtonBeachCalifornia.html,Date of visit: February 2019,United States,California CA,Orange County,"Manhattan Beach, California",People of color beware,If I could give this bar zero Stars I would.

However because I am of brownskinned my friends and I were kicked out of the bar because she became ill and accidentally vomited all on the floor due to the man who sexually harassed her stink. I explained to the manager the situation I had vomit on me trying to take care of my friend because she complained about the man who physically touched her breasts and the rest of her body and no one did anything about it after she complained I then had to endure more racial profiling when a another white man walked up to my white friend and asked her if she was safe and okay because a person of color in Huntington Beach was unbecoming no one stood up for me and protected me after the fact that I was there to take care of my friend and make sure she made it home safely and made sure that she was safe and okay I will never recommend this bar to anybody of color especially when I am a brown skin I was seen as a threat after explaining to the manager what happened and getting upset .however being racially profile because I am of deeper skin kicked out of a bar because of my skin tone is unacceptable and uninviting I would never recommend this nar to anybody and I hope they get shut down due to the fact that they don't assist women who are sexually harassed they don't assist the people of brown skin but rather resolve their issues by kicking out the people who they find a threat to their location this bar needs to be shut down and nonexistent for the horrible customer service and racial profiling. They cause on people. they resolve the issues by saying they will take care of the situation but kick you out. I gave them a thorough description of the man who sexually harassed my friend who touch her breasts and her vagina however we were the ones who were kicked out because they were with the person of colored skin and be because they did not give a crap. this is a bar that should not be in operation for any case when women complain about being sexually harassed you need to do something about that person not the women as victims of the harassment being kicked out not the person of a color skin being kicked out because they got very upset.this very unprofessional very racist and unacceptable I am very disgusted with this bar for my first time ever in Orange county I come from a family of financial value and education however to be discriminated against and racially profiled because I am a darkskinned is very offensive and unacceptable never did I receive an apologies never did I get my money back I never had the opportunity to even get my credit card back this is a crap run bar -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg32205d573357r161873600OwensBistroChinoCalifornia.html,Date of visit: June 2012,United States,California CA,Chino,unknown,Disgusted,"Food was good.

I even kept my 3 year old and 4 month old quiet so your guests would enjoy a lovely evening there; now you should be thanking me. Instead you have left us feeling like we should be kissing your feet because you fit us in within the hour. You did not need to accept our large party if you could not handle it. To the waiter that served us, we are sorry about refusing the mandatory 18 tip, it truly was not your fault; this was a true sign of poor management. Please contact me and I will pay you.

We ordered our food to go and i went outside while my wife went to the bathroom. I had a bad cold so i brought a drink mixed with orange mango and honey in a glass from home. So i went to our car and grabbed my drink and i went out to enjoy the carvings they had which was very neat, they depicted the early western days especially the stage coach. I was minding my own business not talking to anybody and completely sober.When i finished my drink from home my throat still hurt so i was going to walk to the store which was only a hundred yards away.Then my wife come running out saying are you drinking beer i said NO.Then the bartender came out that i never saw before and not been at her bar accused me of drinking beer. I had nothing in my hand and i told her that it was juice from home,then she said she has to take my glass. That is when i started to get mad first of all i was not drinking beer and second that is my personal property, and thirdly i was guilty from the time i walked in for being Black.

Horrible!,"If I could rate 0/5 stars, I would! I stopped by this place with my significant other and friend from the US on the way back to Kingston.. little did we know we were in for a nightmare. We pulled up to the spot and I guess dickie came out and greeted us. We asked if it was a cook shop and he ignored the question and urged us to come inside. After being rushed down a flight of rather steep stairs, he seated us at a table and insisted that I sit opposite the two men in my party.Dickie was very odd. Firstly, he thought we were tourists because of our complexion and uptown accents and asked us where we were from. He also wouldnt stop twanging. He also kept ignoring the fact that we requested a menu.. not knowing a single thing about this secret spot. After some time he finally said that there is no menu but we can eat whatever we liked. We asked if there was chicken, goat, seafood etc. he said yes and it is a five course meal. At this point we were itching to leave because we were looking for a cook shop and not a dine in restaurant. Seeing the uncertainty on our faces he nudged me forcefully and demanded that I take a picture of the table he set up for us.... feeling pressured I snapped the photo attached to this review...We then asked the price and he said 35 USD per head. We shook our heads and said no thanks, ready to leave. He instead asked us how much money we had and how much we would be willing to give him.Outraged, we politely said no thanks. But he insisted and scurried off into the kitchen to do god knows what. After much deliberation we finally got up and decided to leave. Trying to be polite we told him that we were going to leave and he stormed toward us cursing and getting on bad. He stood in front of us cussing and tried to make me go into the kitchen to see the fruit he began to prepare for me specifically. I declined and rushed out the door which had been locked earlier by a little boy lingering the shack. He told us that we could not leave but we kept on moving. Dickie used multiple expletives and RACIAL SLURS towards us, flung his hands and body at us.. he even stated how much he hates people from Kingston! He hates people who look like us which I guess is fair skinned, curly haired, young adults. He continued on with the racial slurs and fwords until we were out of his sight. This so called restaurant is indeed best kept A secret! No one should ever go here. This place should be closed down due to the multiple bad experiences locals and tourists have had here. It is filthy, feels unsanitary, unstable, uncertain and for sure a secret.

The food is fresh and the menu is varied. My favorite is the Country Benedict. The portions are plentiful and the biscuit and gravy reminds me of my Southern roots. You can even get fresh fruit as a side, usually an extra charge at IHOP. I may never go back to IHOP again. This place is just that good.Really sad to hear the review regarding poor service and the idiotic racial reference, but the review did not even mention the quality of the food, just all of the stupid waitress drama. This matter could have been effectively and better handled on the very first time by summoning the taller male manager, who is very approachable and personable. I would suspect that this is not a racial issue, just a crummy server issue. FYI: apparently it is a requirement that the manager come around to each table and asks point blank if everything is alright. I witnessed this at both the Palm Springs and Oceanside location. Frankly why in hell would ANYONE sit at the same table with the same lame waitress 3 different times and expect a different outcome The server's ineptitude has been demonstrated three different times to her dissatisfaction according the reviewer. The very definition of crazy...doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome.Bottom line, the food is great, the prices reasonable, and the service, with one possible 3rd party exception noted is excellent." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg147389d1529789r387414118DrinkLoungeBistroPortofSpainTrinidadTrinidadandTobago.html,Date of visit: November 2015,Caribbean,Trinidad and Tobago,Trinidad,"Port of Spain, Trinidad",poor,"Firstly, the restaurant has very racial paintings on the wall which is a disgrace to indians even though Trinidad is a multi racial society and for this I will never return.

The staff was professional and very attentive. We decided to return to have another weekend lunch and we were seated in the bar area which is not a very nice place to sit for lunch. We were seated by the hostess who was very nice . We were told that the bartender will be taking our order and drink requests. We waited over 15 minutes before our drink request was received. After we ate a salad our steak arrived and still no refill on her iced tea. The bartender was too busy talking to a certain patron which was spewing racial comments all over the bar. Soon after I requested our check which took another 15 minutes because the bartender was too busy talking to the disruptive patron. Several patrons were very disturbed by the racial slurs being tossed about. Nobody came by to try to quiet the patron or have him removed. If I have anything else to say it's don't let them seat you in the bar area very uncomfortable and not the type of experience I would recommend for anybody. -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg34059d1563718r304430797CapersLemonsWilmingtonDelaware.html,Date of visit: August 2015,United States,Delaware DE,Wilmington,"Newark, Delaware",Horrible!!!!!,".

My husband came in and asked the cashier what is going on. She finally gave me my order but not before the pizza guy shouted out racial slurs to me.

I simply asked again for fresh food, or my money back, and the owner came out and began swearing at me that his food is always fresh, and that I do not know Chinese food. When I said that I am an executive chef, and I understood what the dish was supposed to taste like, the owner became adamant that I didn't know Chinese food because ginger beef is WHITE MAN food. After this, the owner and the other employees began with the racial slurrs regarding white people and chinese people, with the son getting so angry his mother or someone had to hold him back from coming after me.This is not a place that I recommend to anyone, especially those with a family that do not need to have racial slurrs screamed at them in a place of business.

Our server Lisa was very helpful and attentive to our needs as well as knowledgeable about their products. The atmosphere of the dinning room reminded me of a country summer lodge, and the bar had a traditionalLSU/College town atmosphere.

It's unfortunate to read about some of the racial issuses people have experienced at this place, being a biracial male myself as well as a Baton Rouge native I sympathise with most minorities in the area. However, my family and I were treated very well today without any hints towards an open bias or prejudice. If some of the things I read are true I hope that this issue will be addresed by either the owner or GM in the near future. This is 2013, open your eyes to any blatant or subtle hints of racial discrimination happening in your establishment. The only thing I personally thought was off about this restaurant was the fact that it has an al la carte menu, which is completely fine, however, the food was presented all together as opposed to in courses. For an Al la carte restuarnt lets try to at least get some time for customers to enjoy their courses before the entre is presented.

She reluctantly served us with my drink with a terrible attitude , and she grunted we can't get cocktails at her bar and to ask over there for my friends cocktail she wanted. Then she slammed my drink on the counter and slammed the drawer of the till shut and couldn't even give any eye contact. We were shocked at her anger and behaviour.So we went over to the cocktail bit and waited ages , now I know a lot of people choose to sit at a table and pay for waiter service but we wanted to wander about the place and the beach it is located on and didn't want to stay long as was visiting many bars . No one came to the cocktail bar so I went over to the manager he seemed like a authority member of staff anyway and he came marching over again with attitude and said in a very put out tone in these exact words ""what do you want""We were shocked again, no wonder the place was dead, it's awful in there.

We arrived at 12:50noon just in time for lunch. We were seated immediately, orders were taken, then some more people came after us to celebrate Christmas just like us. The second floor isn't that big and has enough tables that we can basically see everyone. After sometime, we noticed that the people who came after us were already served and had their second plate while our appetizers were not even given to us. So we took the attention of the waitress and she told us she will follow up. But after a total of an hour and a half waiting, we stood up, left our table and went down to tell the waiter who took our orders that we can't wait any longer. Guess what he answered in an arrogant tone, ""This is not a fast food, and your orders are all fresh and must take longer time."" So, I said "" I can't understand how a crab salad for our table could take an hour and a half while the same salad was served to a table next to ours who came for costumers who came after we arrived and orders were taken far after than ours were taken!"" No apologies were given to us. Only arrogance and a strong feeling of discrimination. We are residents of Padova for almost ten years. My daughters are both good students and I am a good taxpayer, hard working migrant. We know we were the only Asians in that restaurant but that is the first time, in all our lives dining in different local restaurants, we felt underestimated. To the owner and waiters of La Scala Restaurant Abano Terme, racial discrimination is not being applauded now a days. You are a shame and a disgust to all local restaurants in Padova. Shame on you!" -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg187895d8861527r559113477DonFefeFlorenceTuscany.html,Date of visit: December 2017,Europe,Italy,Tuscany,"Auckland, New Zealand",Our worst experience in any restaurant ever We were not served and finally left hungry without eating,"I have hesitated writing this review as I dislike writing bad reviews on any place of work. In the event I decided to write an honest account of our experience in the hope that the management of this restaurant takes this criticism on board and sorts out the issues raised. We visited Florence for 10 nights over December 17January 18 as part of a four week tour of Italy and decided to stay in an apartment hotel complex adjoining this restaurant. The restaurant is located in residential area La Farina Road and is no doubt frequented mainly by the Italians locals who live around the area. There are few high end restaurants in the area and those there are, are located some distance away. The food we understand from word of mouth is excellent. We wouldn't know since we weren't served... and therein lies the problem. We had just traveled by train from Milan and had checked into an apartment hotel adjoining the restaurant. We stopped by earlier to ask if the restaurant was open and was told that they would be open later .. we did not make a reservation nor did they appear to think it was necessary at the time. We eventually wandered in by about 7.25 pm. on that day. We were greeted by a rather nice duty seating manager who told us that the restaurant was full but that she could serve us a quick supper at one of the reserved tables if we agreed to vacate it within the hour by 8.30 pm latest. We were tired and hungry and saw no problem with this. That is when our troubles began. The manager showed us to a basement seating area where a table was empty. It was now 7.30 pm. We had an hour to go. The waiter on duty over there decided he was not going to allow this. He refused to let us be seated until the manager insisted. Then began perhaps the surliest encounters with any waiter in any restaurant I have visited over the last 66 years of my life. The waiter poured supposedly a welcome drink Prosecco literally a drop 1 cm in a champagne glass and dropped the menus that were entirely in Italian on the table. We tried asking for an English menu but he just ignored us. We immediately decided to order something fast so that we could finish and vacate the table as promised but to no avail. The waiter didn't bother to come to the table for another 15 minutes despite our best efforts to attract his attention saying he was busy .. we tried telling him we were pressed for time .. finally he came to the table 7.45 pm when we started asking him what we might order from the Italian menu he went and brought an English menu dropped it on the table and then walked off and refused to deal with us for a further 20 minutes .. we waited until 8.00 pm kept asking him to take the order since we had to vacate as agreed and he kept telling us he was busy .. eventually at 8.05 pm we gave up as there was no way we could have ordered our meal, waited for it to be cooked and then finish eating it in the time allotted to us, which I suspect was his intention all along. We finally left the restaurant and since there was no where else to eat we went back to the apartment hotel hungry. I am appalled and absolutely shocked that a recalcitrant waiter in a restaurant can choose to serve or not serve a customer in this restaurant. This must be a first of kind. The manager who seated us was a friendly person and seemed to understand our plight and did try and find a solution that was perfect in every way but one ... Apparently the waiter did not like it it. We are as yet unsure as what seems to have upset him. Perhaps it was because:a We were not Italian the restaurant appears to cater to the locals from what we could make out and he couldn't be bothered b that he decided he was not going to serve a customer who was nonEuropean difficult to believe in Italy; orc that he did not want to serve the customer that management appears to have unfairly thrust on him on a busy night.Frankly we don't think the issue was racial. When we entered the restaurant we were treated very well by the seating manager who found us a good solution. The problem then was a waiter who had little patience for nonItalians usually English speaking I presume and possibly because the restaurant is located away from the tourist areas. This is something management needs to address. What ever be the reason for this rather disgraceful behavior the owner managers need to address how they communicate to their staff how and why they wish to seat their customers. If there are labor or employment issues they need to be addressed later. Making a paying customer bear the brunt of the anger of an employment dispute is not a very stellar reputation for a restaurant that otherwise prides itself on the quality of the dining experience it offers. To send a customer away hungry from your restaurant in an area where there are few eating areas or hotels if at all because of a disagreement with your staff is not the reputation one wants. Notwithstanding I'd like to thank the seating manager who did try to find a solution that unfortunately did not work. It wasn't for want of effort on her part. My wife and I thank her for that." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg298496d8699055r617822418BarDabVladivostokPrimorskyKraiFarEasternDistrict.html,Date of visit: September 2018,Europe,Russia,Far Eastern District,"Seoul, South Korea",terrible," . ... . . the service is terrible. main host is terribble!!!!! awful, dreadful!!!Ther were still seats left.

What I witnessed today from fellow employees was absolutely disgraceful behavior towards our party of 13 people. I am in the industry as a Chef who happens to be deaf, I witnessed racial bias towards the group, because they were African Americans and I saw the most despicable gestures of ignorance, eye rolling and unprofessional glancing, whenever someone needed something the vibe we felt as if our table was a bothersome. First off our server Rebecca was awesome and is to be excused from this situation. But other fellow employees who gave our party the cold shoulder should be reprimanded and have sensitivity training for racial bias. I was absolutely mortified with this whole scenario. That being said we felt the food was tarnished in a way that when it came to the salads and portions of the meals that this was also impacted by today's experience. The salads portions were completely ridiculous and ingredients were missing and salads weren't dressed accordingly. When it came to getting water not one staff member on the floor brought water to the table to replenish. That was one thing I observed with the other tables that they were getting full plated salads and their entrees. When it came to dessert time as our server mentioned that if you need more dippers we will refill, well one of the members at the table asked a fellow employee about getting more dippers, she was very rude about it and it took a manager to get the job done. With this negative experience this evening and observing and witnessing the ignorance of the establishment's lack of respect towards minorities. If your establishment is going to have a problem with minorities and race, then shame on all of you! This was absolutely unacceptable! Management should make this right by addressing and fixing this serious problem. I was so upset by this that my mother and I left and we both felt for what we paid for it outrageous.

We had been treated well in Germany so far and they seemed busy, so gave them benefit of the doubt. We couldnt find our names on reserved tables but saw available tables, so asked a waitress to help. I tried to show her my email which said that I had a reservation which she didnt bother to look at. She just gestured to a table with 2 persons already seated ie she wanted us to share a table when there were available tables with no names, and told us rudely to sit there. I said we had a reservation and she said two persons, so sit. We left promptly. We were treated badly and demeaned, not sure if its a racial issue we are Asian.

Never have I ever felt more uncomfortable in my life. I am still in shock. We sat inside the premise due to the fact that the terrace area would of been too cold for us. The restaurant owner, Mauro, seemed arrogant and rude for reasons we could not understand. Let me explain, I ate the salmon carpacio which was STILL frozen! My husband had thglioni fiziosi pasta with scampi and salmon which was also cold after waiting for over an hour. We started to get uncomfortable by the way the owner was inappropriately touching his female staff members who were clearly uncomfortable... Finally, we spoke to the owner, Mauro, to express our grief in the politest way possible. We conversed in Italian due to the fact that I had taken Italian courses for over 15 years and I am quite fluent in the language. When we spoke, he made various racial slurs at us which progressed to him constantly attacking our ethnicity. When we told him we didn't want any problems... He then proceeded to laugh at my husbands oxygen mask which he uses post lung cancer surgery. This review goes beyond just restaurant etiquette there was clearly a lack of human decency. My husband, who has battled cancer for years now, was completely broken. On lookers witnessed this exchange and proceeded to leave, they came up to us and extended their sympathy vouching to never go back to the establishment. We understand that some people lack self constraint, we hope that the staff of Mauro's will learn from this experience and better themselves as we have learned that some people are inexplicitly and unapologetically cruel.

Without hyperbole, this was one of the worst experiences I have ever had trying to dine out.The inside of the place reminds me of something you'd see in Brooklyn. This is why I took a sick friend to see it. Besides my love of tea, this is not my sort of place.After we sat down, I noticed some children with oranges to which I have a grave allergy the next table over. I tried to warn the woman in whose care the children seemed to be. She ignored me.After 5 minutes of trying to get the woman's attention, my friend a blonde, blueeyed fashion model said ""excuse me"" in a low voice and got the woman's attention. She told her that I had a food allergy at which point the woman became immediately billigerent. At this point, I should mention that I am a black American writer and translator who has lived in Paris for some years now. Since the children had started to eat the oranges and I started to react, I warned the woman and my friend that I had an epipen in my bag. She told me that she was going to call the police and the fire department and have me taken away. All the while, I am trying to control an oncoming attack.""I don't know how people do things where you're from, but here you don't just walk into a restaurant and tell the OWNER what to do. This is MY RESTAURANT."" At this point, it was lost on me that there might be a racial component when she threatened to call the police not to aide me, but to threaten me to leave. And I would have left, but I had to make certain that I could stand.The emphasis is not mine. Her two employees were cringing behind the food prep station and the customers looked visibly uncomfortable. Moreover, she kept screaming ""this is MY RESTAURANT.""She threw the check at me it hit my companion and refused to accept my card, even though it met the minimum as stated on the menu. As I had no cash, my friend paid. He hands were shaking.I asked her to please step away from me and told her that I felt assaulted. She said: ""No, I feel like you're ASSAULTING ME."" And I responded, ""But you are the one walking towards me"" as I made my way towards the door. My friend got between us and as we were leaving she told me she thought the woman was going to hit me.I have lived in Paris for years and for all the stereotypes about French customer service, I have never been treated like this. Not once did the owner to anything to help, but took every chance to intimidate and harass. Mind you, though the place wasn't full, there were seated customers. Her employees watched with horrified looks on their faces. One young server tried to bring me water but was repelled by her employer.When I said that I would review her establishment on YELP, she threatened to call the police again. Mind you, at this point I had been to lightheaded to even stand.The woman I am referring to was darkhaired and heavy set in a way that you don't often see in France, much less Paris. If she's there, you'll know and I would recommend giving her a wide berth.My girlfriend is a Polish human rights worker and thought I should have called the police as the owners was certainly against EU antidiscrimination statutes, but I didn't want to bother. I just wanted to warn people that the place is owned and operated by a callous and irrationally aggressive person and there are so many other places in Buttes aux Cailles that are more worth your time." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg188575d1516460r499880850UtLieuwkeMaastrichtLimburgProvince.html,Date of visit: July 2017,Europe,The Netherlands,Limburg Province,"AshtonunderLyne, United Kingdom",A night in Maastricht and my first experience of being racially insulted !!!!!,"Hello.

It was a truly wonderful experience, Maastricht and the Dutch people are warm and welcoming... with exception to the proprietor of Ut Lieuwke.My family and I searched for a lovely Dutch restaurant to celebrate our weekend and stumbled upon this establishment prior to the concert. We were initially delighted with the welcome from the two charming young Dutch waitresses sisters who invited us to a good table; the owner behind the bar was a completely different story!!!!She refused to even consider one of my party amending a set meal menu, switching one course for a more expensive choice that we would pay for... after much huffing and puffing with great annoyance, she relented. She then proceeded to insult us, stating British people drink too much, you want to order more wine!!!! We passed this off as a joke at first thinking that some UK like a drink, but so does the rest of the world.. we said no thanks, no wine, but some water.... she still maintained the wine comment; persisting with a terrible racial stereotype that wasn't called for. Uncalled for and rude!!!!Moving into the evening, my mother aged 70 was physically manhandled out of the toilet by this manager; who insisted to know ""THIS TOILET IS FOR PAYING GUESTS ONLY!!!

My mum was quite shocked and told her where she was sat, where the Manager had been racially aggressive to my family.... then my mother was frogmarched back to her seat!!!

They barely speak English, so we communicate through online translation and afterwards they ask a server, who can speak much better English to translate for them. Such a shame. I am not sure if there was a miscommunication, but We had asked my sisters Japanese speaking friend to reserve us a table and my sister told me we got a reservation for 7 pm. So, I arrived at 7 pm sharp, only to be told through online translation that we needed to come back half an hour later. My sister arrived about 5 minutes later and told me her friend had said 7ish, so we had all assumed its a little more than 7 or at least closer to 7 pm. Maybe, its too hard for the hostess to just make up her mind and say 7.30, instead of 7ish and confuse us, or maybe 7ish to her means 7.30. Very funny!!! We then decided to just accept the 7.30 time, because its just a mere 30 mins anyway, buttt another problem arises. There was a waiting area with a bench at the restaurant and it was empty, but the hostesses still insisted we needed to go out into the cold about 6 degrees celcius that night and come back later. I had two kids with me as well as my 71 year old Dad. I really wonder the reason they put the bench there if they do not want anyone to wait. Besides, by the time we finished clarifying about out reservation time, there was only about 15 minutes left. They told us it was because they had other guests. It was as if I was struck by lightning when I heard those words. Did that mean other guests can sit and wait, while we couldnt It really started sounding so racial to me. Only after I said wed leave if another guest arrived, that the hostesses decided to stop arguing.

Sat down outside and he asked us what would we like to drink, we asked for beers but wasn't given a choice and with the food he recommended something which was some rip off Italian something , was just basically cheese on toast with a small sausage , bacon and a sun dried tomato. He brought us the beers which were Leffe with Leffe glasses, first of all the glasses were hot, secondly that day was quite hot so you should really expect restaurant to serve cold beers , no the bottle of beers were hot.

Fifth it took 20 minutes for us to get the bill and top of that audacity for him to say something racial towards me was the final straw.

The waiter was about to show us to the seats when i believe the owner came up and spoke to the waiter. The waiter then turned around and said sorry. My husband said we can wait and the waiter said sorry again. I don't know if it is racial discrimination as we are Asians hoping to try the food here. I know Neromo is on the italian side of the river and not on the tourist area. This incident has marred my trip to Florence. I could see a lot of Asians in Florence so I'm puzzled. We ended up buying a sandwich we didn't like as most places were crowded and we were hungry and tired after a long wet day out on a full day tour. -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg294448d911461r544072811NewsCAFEMinsk.html,Date of visit: November 2017,Europe,Belarus,Minsk,unknown,Nice peaceful Atmosphere,"Lets start with positive: Most of the stuff speaks English. friendly and well trained most of themstuff.

On the evening of September 28, we went there to have dinner together with my friends. When I booked my seat on the 26th, I stressed that we had four people and needed two people and two people to pay separately. The waiter told us it was all right. When ordering the meal, Abby Mi Junling, the waiter, told us that we could not separate the checklist with two club Marriott cards. We asked why not She told us that it was a restaurant rule. Then she split us into two tables which are the smallest in the restaurant. We told her that we ordered too many dishes, and this little table could not be placed at all. Then she went to consult Jerry Renjian, the manager of the Chinese restaurant, and when she came back, she became even more embarrassed. She said: We will change your dishes into small plates."" However, a guest which next me, she was sitting in a fourperson table but only ordered one dishnoodles. After we parted, I ordered four main dishes and a roast duck at one of the tables, but they were all arranged on the smallest table of two, far apart, which made our friends very embarrassed.We asked her to call the manager over to explain the situation, but the manager's service attitude was even worse. We waited for more than 10 minutes, got up twice and went to the manager. Then the manager came. His attitude was the worst of all the people I met in Marriott.The manager was so rude, he talked to us loudly for ten minutes in front of all the customers and kept on saying that he couldn't understand what we were saying We are Chinese, so that all the customers looked up and I didn't want to think about it again. It wasn't until the new guests were all around us that he felt it was inappropriate for us to change to a private room, but he never explained why a table bill couldn't be paid separately. Until we finished eating and checked out, they did not explain the situation or apologize.Marriott is an international company, but let me be disappointed that foreigners can pay the bill separately, but we can not, is this racial discrimination Has the quality of your manager fallen so far in the face of other customers and in the face of loud and noisy customersMy demand is to ask your company to improve the quality of service, to confirm that a single table can be AA system, a table can be separately settled their bills, this is the international practice, please treat each customer equally.

But sometimes, you just have to write about your experience and on this occasion, Ive never left a restaurant more disgusted. Recently on a trip to Luxembourg with friends, I paid a visit to this new restaurant that had opened up since Id been there last. It was late and my friend and I went in for some food. We ordered two drinks and I ordered the sushi platter and she ordered some chicken noodle dish. After a little wait, she suggested we just take it as a takeaway. So I requested the order to be wrapped up for takeaway and paid for everything. Then after a long wait, close to an hour, we questioned how long will it take The waiter apologized and said, sorry we had a busy day. Its going to take a while. Then another waiter got involved and said Typical whining Irish, always complaining. I really dont think we were in anyway unreasonable in questioning where our food was and this racial slur should never be shouted at a paying customer in a restaurant with other customers listening. I was absolutely outraged and appalled and on future visits to Luxembourg, will never be going back there.

After an appalling experience, earlier this year in May 2018, this establishment is blacklisted in my books.What was meant to be a joyous birthday celebration with lifelong friends, turned out to be one of the most humiliating experiences ever. Its sad, yet true that racial profiling still exists within London, despite our city being recognised as one of the most multicultural cities in the world.It was horrific to witness our group of friends being subjected to intense scrutiny from the security and management team at Madison, which included our friend being segregated from us at the entrance for extra identification checks despite the fact that our booking was a late afternoon brunch.Several other guests were permitted into the venue during the late afternoon, without being subjected to aggressive security and identification checks. Furthermore, I was surprised to see a member of management escorting our friend to our table, having informed her dining at the venue is being timed, and that it was imperative that she eat and leave on time. What is even more shocking is that the manager was lingering around throughout our entire meal, literally timing us.In all our years of dining at an array of establishments ranging from Michelin star to local restaurant joints, we have never been treated with such prejudice, so much so that we had to console our friend who was reduced to tears after being treated in such a disgusting manner.We did complain to security and a floor staff member, however no apology was given. We examined how nonblack customers were being treated by security and venue staff, and it was clear that the management and other staff members were perturbed by our presence.We live in a day and age where we must not let such prejudice go unspoken of.I shall not recommend this shambolic establishment to any of my family members, friends or clients.Madison may have a certificate of excellence for great food, yet they lack greatly in customer/human relations." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg155042d5098014r469963628FourSeasonsReginaSaskatchewan.html,Date of visit: March 2017,Canada,Saskatchewan,Regina,unknown,"""Bar fights all the time""","Recently attended fundraising event at restaurant, food was good, customer service good. 10 people in bar area causing scenes, yelling out racial comments, starting fights with people in bar.

We are not Swiss.Very quickly 5 tables around started assuring us that everything was perfect and how dare we criticise this restaurant and this cuisine. We became quickly victims of mobbing and I promise I am not exaggerating. This was very very unpleasant behaviour. At no point in my life have I been so discriminated against.

My poor Dad had to try and explain himself all over again and it didnt help that the stupid lady had mixed up all the receipts and we had to say our order to the specific details in order to prove that we bought it. She embarrassed us in front of those in line and basically convinced me USS has gone to the gutters because of substandard staff like her at the Oasis Spice Cafe. OASIS Spice Cafe needs to relook at its own policies when dealing with customers. This was something i could never expect at a place like USS.

The restaurant is tastefully decorated in a modern Mediterranean style. The menu oozes exciting choices of European and Asian cuisine. We tried a couple of pizzas, one with duck, and the other bacon. Both exceeded our expectations, and the crusts were the thinnest and crispiest you will experience anywhere in Ulaanbaatar. The Chef, I am told, hails from Malaysia, which explains the delicately flavor of hoisin infused in duck dishes. Other members of our part tried the steak, which was tender and cooked to perfection. The garlic bread was unlike any other I have tried, and was served with a mild relish reminiscent of sambal from southeast Asia. The selection of wines impressed us, and we enjoyed a bottle of 2011 Chardonnay from the Vasse Felix cellars of the Australian southwest. It was not cheap, but complemented our meals perfectly. Do try the deserts. Each is different, and full of surprises. Our favorite was the parfait with seabuckthorn compote. The serving staff are attentive and friendly without being intrusive.We were all impressed with this restaurant on our first visit. The interesting yet mild flavors achieved will be well received by the Mongolians who are not generally lovers of strongtasting cuisine.

At first, we thought the service was slow because that's how it is sometimes, especially at a busy restaurant in a sleepy resort town in France. Also, it seemed like there were only 2 people the owner and his wife, perhaps serving the customers. That was all fine until we realized that the other patrons were being served much more attentively and politely, whereas we had to try multiple times to attract their attention to ask for anything, including to order our food. A few minutes after we ordered, we wanted to add a side salad. Too late the waiter had already walked away and studiously ignored our attempts to get his attention. I had to hurriedly say that we wanted salad to the waiter as he walked by our table, because he couldn't be bothered to stop while we were trying to flag him down. He stared at me as if I was an alien but otherwise did not acknowledge my request. The exact same thing happened when I tried to ask for the bill after the meal. Side note: he definitely understood my bad French because we eventually got the salad and the bill. Interestingly enough, our party was the only nonwhite group at the restaurant. We shared scallop brochettes, a pizza, moules frites and the salad, which miraculously came. To be fair, the scallops were cooked pretty well, but that was about the only positive thing I can say about the food. The pizza was greasy and unmemorable, the moules frites were also mediocre and lacked flavor and I have a pretty bland palate and the salad was just a plate of arugula with some balsamic dressing. All in all, pretty average food that is not worth seeking out. Save your money and your stomach space for somewhere with less racist attitude. Oh well, at least we had a great view of the sunset." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg1187586d1180255r416704022ArgentinaKapenekisKolymbariPlataniasChaniaPrefectureCrete.html,Date of visit: August 2016,Europe,Greece,Crete,"London, United Kingdom","Slow, insults, threats, some racism too!","We have been coming here for a few years and have always had great food and service.

One of the dishes was burnt and they firstly tried to excuse this by saying this is how the Greeks like it. Right.....ok but we aren't Greek. Bit of a sweeping statement to make. However they sent out another more edible plate. When I asked if they would take some money on the bill less than 5 euro per head as the service had been very slow etc. They point blank refused, and after I stuck to my guns and said I don't think we have received full service and the timing was shambolic, the waitress spoke with her father who is the owner and we were then told they would call the police if we did not pay. At no point did we say we weren't going to pay. She again made the statement about the Greeks liking service this way etc to which I replied that is a very bad statement to make considering you work in a tourist filled area, I felt insulted. At this point a lot of the staff gathered round, maybe if they all did their jobs the service would be better! Who knows. But anyway, won't be back here.

After a while and noticing that we were being ignored, my wife had to go to the counter to ask for a menu. Then, after another while and still being ignored, I had to go there to ask if a waiter would please come to take our order. The order was taken and then the real waiting started. About 40 minutes later the coffee finally arrived, in filthy cups with dark coffee stains running down the sides as if the cups had not been cleaned properly. And still no cake... until we could bear it no longer and decided to leave.

I felt compelled to expose the flat out FALSE accusations of these so called ""classy ladies"" its ridiculous that they are pulling the race card when their tale of events is nothing more than liars. I was actually there that night having dinner with a friend and we were seated right in front of their table, they were already seated when we arrived and everything seemed normal, a bit loud but its a restaurant/bar, no biggie. As the evening continued they got louder and louder, and with in a little bit these girls were drunk and being so annoying and obnoxious that my friend and I were talking about it. We even made a gesture at the waitress after noticing how poorly they were treating one specific waitress and I was surprised by the composure that the waitress kept, staying pleasant, at this point if I were her I would have just ignored the table or told them to beat it. They acting like a bunch of 8 year olds. I did see the manager come talk to them but I didn't hear the conversation, I think it was at that point they got their booze cut off, which was probably in the best interest for the staff, the other patrons and themselves because they were making fools of themselves. I was glad when they were cut off because frankly some people just don't know how to behave and drinking only makes it worse. The waitress finished up serving them and gave them their bill in an undeserving nice and professional way. Those ""classy gals"" left and the servers began to clear the table and then two came back said some things to them and then slapped a class of wine to spill all over the table and said ""whoops! sorry hahaha"" and ran off ... again like a bunch of 8 yr old children, the servers looked at each other and shrugged it off but NEVER said anything back, and I NEVER heard the manager yell at them any racist remarks, or anything at that matter. At this point I was paying close attention to the situation because it was so ridiculous how they were behaving and I could barely hear the conversation he had with them so the fact that they claim he yelled at them is a flat out lie. This had nothing to do with race and everything to do with stupidity, some people simply don't know how to behave when they drink and the fact that they make this about race is ridiculous, I'm ethnic too, I always get great service when I go there, they only difference is I am not an idiot. If these girls believe in their accusations I would love for them to pursue legal action, fortunately I paid with my credit card, I have my receipt, showing what table and when I paid to prove I was there and I will gladly testify on what actually happened, and I am sure my friend will too. The servers deserve at least that much specially after they handled the situation so professionally. And to those ""classy ladies"" grow up, figure it out, this reflects so poorly on you and your community." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg154943d1899148r184415244TheCharlesBarVancouverBritishColumbia.html,Date of visit: October 2013,Canada,British Columbia,Vancouver,"Vancouver, Canada","Fantastic place! And a defense to ""racism"" story","This place is amazing! Great food, great prices, and great service. I've been there a few times and I decided this was a great time to give these guys a positive review considering, as evidenced by the commenter below, the amount of bad press this story is getting on Facebook.I've always seen a mixed crowd at this joint and have gone there myself with friends who are also IndoCanadian. I have never seen any remote indication of any racism whatsoever towards IndoCanadian crowds or any other ethnicity for that matter, so I can't really see them choosing all of a sudden to be racist toward IndoCanadians, but I suppose this is TECHNICALLY a possibility. I find it difficult to believe that the story that is being told really happened as it is being claimed; that it came out of the blue and was essentially completely unprovoked. So, after seeing this place start to garner a bad rep, I felt the need to chime in. There was an article posted in the local newspaper about the ""Racism"" story, and after some digging I found someone who gave a secondhand account for the other side of the story. Check it out, and make your own judgments. This is verbatim from a Reddit user, who, really, is just as credible if you think about it:""My friend works at the charles bar and he told me what happened. Apparently these girls made a reservation for a ufc night when the bar is packed but they didnt make the reservation big enough. They then began to take stools from the bar and chairs from other tables to try and seat everyone and management told them to stop. So they began to sit at the tables that were reserved for other people. After management told them numerous times to move one girl apparently said 'make us' and the manager kicked them out. Then on the way out one girl threw her wine on a bar back and another poured a drink on the debit machine while screaming insults at the manager. So the manager pointed in the direction of surrey and said it was that way. None of the employees can comment on it because the company has ordered them not to.""I can't vouch for either side, really, but I thought it would only be fair to present the other side of the story in defense of this great place." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg154943d807896r128879193CongeeNoodleHouseVancouverBritishColumbia.html,Date of visit: April 2012,Canada,British Columbia,Vancouver,seattle,Racism,"I have never experienced racism like this.

Don't waste your time and money here.","My wife and I lived very close to Steveston Village, and one day we just decided to try this restaurant out. We were there at around 6pm and was seated promptly, and that was the end of the good experience. After we sat down, there were a few Caucasian families and couples that came in after us. And we were the only Asian couple sitting in the restaurant of about 67 tables. The waitress promptly attended to them and offered them water to drink while also holding short conversations with them. While my wife and I sat there, with no water, one menu and ZERO attention even though we were the first to sit down. We waited for at least 10 minutes, and if you were purely waiting for 10 minutes, it feels like a decade and I finally got impatient, and started to raise my hand to get some attention so that someone could take our order.Finally someone was looking my way! While the waitress was approaching our direction, I was starting to speak, but she just walked pass us without saying a thing, and started to take the order of guess who a Caucasian couple sitting behind us. At this point I was pissed off, I had the urge of standing up saying really LOUDLY, ""Really! This place is a JOKE!"" and just stormed out of the restaurant with my wife. But obviously my wife stopped me from elevating my emotions in this situation. I mean, if the waitress had just acknowledged me, and said something in the sense of ""Sorry, I will be right with you, I saw them call me over first."" or whatever I would've been fine with it, even though I was already annoyed by the poor service no water, no attention, long wait to order. After a few minutes, finally she walked over to us, of her own accord, without me having to raise my hand again, which means she did see me raising my hand the first time which pissed me off again, and took our order without apologizing for what happened and how rude she was. KariHouse is suppose to produce SouthEast Asian Singaporean, Malaysian cuisine, but the food that came out of the kitchen feels like someone just took a few recipes off of the internet and cooked it the first time. We ordered Laksa, Prawn Noodles and Char Dua Pan Stir Fried Rich noodles , all of the dishes had basically no taste to it, they have no idea what they are doing... It was just bland and dull, it almost felt like they withheld the salt too. SouthEast Asian cuisine uses a lot of spices and herbs in their food, which Kari House seemed to lack. I lived in Singapore for roughly 5 years about 20 years ago. Loved the food there, ate out almost everyday. The food that they are serving in KariHouse are basically the same street hawker food they have in Singapore, but KariHouse cannot even hold a candle to to the street hawker food's quality and tastiness. If you compare this restaurant Kari House to ANY Singaporean street hawker on a scale of 1 to 10, Kari House would be a 4 and Singaporean Street Hawkers would 89. Verdict: Terrible service that almost felt like racism I do not understand, the owners and waitress are Asian too , mediocre to poor food... Don't waste your time and money here." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg181785d761028r403448338LegendzDinerGoldenKootenayRockiesBritishColumbia.html,Date of visit: August 2016,Canada,British Columbia,Kootenay Rockies,"Banff, Canada","Racism, Terrible Service, Passable Food","I ate with a large group of Asian children and this was by far the worst restaurant experience of my life.We come into the restaurant at around 9pm and ask about the unlimited pasta special. Alright, our bad for showing up near closing their takeout menu claims the closing is 11pm, but the manager later claimed it was ""outdated"" and actually 10pm after a long road trip and trying to get our fill of 11.95 pasta for the night.After a long, 30 minute wait I'll cut them some slack for being near closing time they bring out our orders and the initial bowls of spaghetti with either meat sauce or meat sauce and cheese. We chow down, food at this point is standard fare. It's not terrible by any means but by far the best experience of the night.We ordered four bowls, and after getting three bowls the server turns to us and informs us that they're out of spaghetti. Nothing else, no offer to reimburse us for part of it or even a sorry for this ""minor"" inconvenience. I asked to speak with the manager and as soon as I leave the server a grown woman turns to my group of 1217 year old kids and asks ""what's that guy's problem"" Red flag 1 for poor service.I speak to the manager, and politely inform him about how we only received one bowl, and that each of us could have eaten at least an extra bowl. Therefore, I offer to pay half for each of the bowls and full menu price for everything else we ordered and received. He immediately dismisses me and says ""no."" Not even an explanation or a sorry, just ""no.""After finally getting our 4th bowl of spaghetti, I start trying to track down the manager and get a proper response. I reexplain the situation and all he does is try to cut me off with ""so you're paying full price,"" ""no deal,"" and other such phrases. He threatens to call the police on us, but he doesn't actually do so when we call his bluff and tell him ""sure, call the police."" He tries telling us he'll comp one bowl and that's it. I insist on comping two bowls and he finally acquiesces. But not before saying that ""we always get problems with Asian customers, something about not wanting to pay."" Completely unacceptable restaurant service, and frankly something that is unacceptable anywhere. He charges us the 50 off and tells us to get out and never come back again.If you're stopping by the area, go to the local McDonald's instead of this 1950'sesque retro American diner complete with the atmosphere of 1950's racism." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg181793d5772281r219592885FortuneHouseSeafoodRestaurantBurnabyBritishColumbia.html,Date of visit: August 2014,Canada,British Columbia,Burnaby,"Lawton, Oklahoma",Extreme stereo typing and racism...only ok flavors!,"When we arrived in Vancouver, we asked about restaurants and was told that this Fortune House was really excellent. So we walked to the mall where it is located but got there right at 3:00 pm and was told they would be closed until 5:30. We were inside a huge mall so no problem, really! We ended up going to see a movie and then stopped back by at which point we saw wedding decorations out front. I went to the entryway and asked if this was a private party which I was assuming but...I was told,"" yes."" Nothing more. So, we went on our way. The next day was the same closed at 5:00 but there were several shops I wanted to look in so we stayed around for an hour or so. We walked into the restaurant and the Asian lady, who had a snarl on her face looked at us and said, ""menu there,"" pointing to a plastic covered menu on a stand in what I assumed was Chinese and then English in very small and lightly colored print. We stood and stood and finally was able to ask for a table. They took us into the dining room that was filled with Asian folks, put us in the back corner at a card table with which I was unable to sit at comfortably because the table was turned so as not to let legs fit under the table. We were given paper napkins while others had cloth napkins. Hot jasmine tea was placed on our table as well as rice bowls, small plates, and chop sticks. We were then given an official menu and waited for 1015 minutes to place our orders. We ordered rack of lamb with sweet and spicy sauce, house fried rice, and hot sour soup with two iced teassimple I admit but rack of lamb isn't everyday nothing where I am from!. We were never offered water. The soup came and was delicious. It had chunks of seafood, tofu, mushroom, bamboo shoots, and sprouts Very tasty! They then brought a plate of what looked like meat to us. I had never seen lamb this way but...ok. Rice came and looked really good so we began. The lamb was what I personally would put in a stock pot with veggies and spices to create a hot and sour soup. It was fatty and did not have much meat at all. My husband ate it but he likes fatI do not and it was way more fat than meat. The sauce was not spiced at all. It was bland and not good. The rice was good although needed soy sauce for the salty flavor. No soy, chili sauce or even mustard if we are going stereo typical! Very disappointing. They did have homemade cookies to end the meal but I will not return. They never asked us if we needed refills on our drinks and there was a lady going around the room with iced tea in a pitcher and hot tea is a staple in an Asian restaurant! They were not comfortable with us spending our money there so I won't be comfortable returning.

After our meal we advised the Manager of the poor service we had received and he told us ""It is because she is Italian"". When we didn't tip the Manager's courteous manner quickly changed and he just walked away after taking payment. I took up the issues with Wildwood head office and was offered a small amount of compensation for the poor service we received but nothing for the casual racism that was displayed in front of my 7 year old son and 11 year old daughter. After discussing the issue with the regional manger it quickly became clear that the whole organisation has a lack of understanding of these issues.

This is something we rarely do as we find most of the local restaurants somewhat mediocre, two exceptions being Chez Tonton and Ci Vediamo Li, both in New Barnet. Do go to them if you have the chance.However, I had had a nice lunch with my friend at The Haven over the summer so we decided to give it a go.The restaurant, which is very large indeed, was full up. Unfortunately, this made it somewhat difficult to hear what my husband was saying. At first, we had a very efficient, professional waiter who helped us with our choices. All the staff were very busy and did not seem to be solely allocated to an individual table so over the course of the evening, we were served by other members of staff.My goats cheese salad was very nice, as were my husbands prawns though he thought the plum sauce was somewhat gloopy and certainly not made from fresh.Our aperif drinks were also very nice but when my Rioja came, it was like slight sour and fruity dishwater. Not good.My husband found his pasta main too salty but otherwise somewhat flat tastewise. My ribeye steak was mediocre. The texture was quite succulent but this belied a rather bland taste. My husband had cheese instead of pudding and the selection and quality were pretty good. My pudding was fine but how much can go wrong with Mvenpick icecreamThus far, we both thought that this was an example of yet another mediocre Whetstone restaurant but this one is more pricey.During the latter half of our meal, we were served by a seemingly amenable waiter who had an accent. My husband is notoriously bad at distinguishing accents and asked the waiter if he was Israeli. He told us that he was Turkish but that he understood why my husband had said that because there were so many Israelis in this area and indeed in this country. To my knowledge, this country only has a small Israeli population. I asked him whether he meant Jews or Israeli as Barnet has a disproportionately large percentage of Jewish people. He told me that it was the same thing and the impression he had in the 8 months he has been in England is that the Jews own the country. He encouraged us to agree with his point of view until my husband pointed out that we are two of those Jews. When my husband told the manager what the waiter had said, he told us, Everyone has their opinion but he shouldnt have said it. Either the Manager is an extreme liberal who believes that freedom of speech trumps all, or he was of the same opinion. To be honest, if someone is going to think racist thoughts about a group of people to whom I belong, I would rather know. But ideally I would prefer not to be served by a racist. Full stop.

He responded by asking us whether we would like to sit by the bar and myself and my husband agreed that this was fine. Whilst getting ready to be escorted to the bar a white female employee interjected and said that we would have to drink in the main bar area down on the 35th floor in the Sky garden. She gave no REASON for her suggestion i.e You have to purchase food as well in this restaurant or you cannot just drink in this restaurant. Maybe she thought, based on our appreance that we could ONLY AFFORD THE PRICE OF THE DRINKS in the Sky garden.She looked across at her male colleague and I looked at my husband and said WOW, quite loudly. Once we left the restaurant I looked back and could see that she was having a full blown conversation with her male collegeue.So I ask myself, what was the REAL reason for not being seated or served at this restaurant.1 We were dressed appropriately.2 The restaurant was virtually empty at the time of entry after 6pm.3 Servers were standing around doing nothing.4 The bar area was empty.If customers are not entitled to drink within these premises at the bar, then they should not be any chairs at the bar. This for me was a blatant form of direct racism based on the colour of our skin. If we could not afford to pay for our alcoholic beverages then we would not have entered these premises. Being born and raised in the UK since the 70's I have had my fair share of direct racism within eating establishments.This, for us, was unacceptable customer service and people should not be prejudged on their appearance,i.e their ethnic make up in which we were. We are both black educated professionals who earn a fair sum and live a comfortable life. I think that your establishment needs to take a leaf out of Starbucks NEW training manual on ethnicity and diversity training.Certain businesses have regulatory bodies and ombudsmen that discrimination complaints can be taken to and I intend to do this as this GOT TO ME TODAY." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg186364d6522787r371166251FreddysChickenandPizzaSheffieldSouthYorkshireEngland.html,Date of visit: May 2016,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,unknown,"Bad customer service, racism, waste of money","All I can say is if you are black do not go to this restaurant.

The seasonal nut roast and yorkie pud it was served in are bigger than my four year olds face. We measured two types of potatoes, three veg, but can anyone actually eat 14 sprouts. My daughter was dwarfed at the crowded bar, but still managed to order her ice cream pudding with the extremely busy but attentive staff. As we gave mum a wee break and played tag in the narrow beer garden , I was delighted at the graciousness of other customers as we stampeaded. Customers of all ages, creeds denominations and genders.

After a couple of repeats of this my mate was practically yelling, in clear English, and eventually the bar tender dismissed him and turned to me to place my order. I don't believe the bar tender realised we were together. He effectively refused to take my friend's order.I ordered successfully, speaking English, without yelling.

","We, a family of 4 adults and 3 children with partly indigenous Swiss roots, and partly Chinese background experienced the rudest ""service"" in this restaurant. We spent a lovely day in the surroundings of Lugano. The kids were exhausted and hungry from exploring and walking around. The five year old kid was already sleeping and therefore his mom was carrying the little boy. I was hurrying ahead of the group to avoid a detour on the way finding an open restaurant at around 5pm on a Sunday. When I arrived at the Olimpia, the outside area of the restaurant was occupied by around 70. I told a waitress that we are 7 persons and that we want eat something. Then, I was heading back to make sure nobody gets lost. In the meantime the mother of the five year old took the shoes off the little one and put the sleeping kid on the sofa outside the restaurant. One of the waitress told the two mothers that this is not possible. They asked for menu card to order something, but they waitress told them in a very unfriendly manner that it is only possible to eat at the table. When I was back with the rest of the family, I asked her if the boy can sleep on the sofa, while we are eating at the table in a distance of 5 meters. She told us this is not possible either. Now, I told her that I want talk with her manager. The answer was, the manager is not here, therefore she is in charge and we should leave the now. She wished us a good day in a very dismissive way.We went over to the Pizzeria Tango across the square. Where we received an excellent service, delicious food and spent 159 CHF which could be in the books of the Olimpia owner if his or her employees would have shown more flexibility and customer friendliness.As a Swiss, I am ashamed. This happens just a week after the ""Tschligate"" debacle with Oprah Winfrey in Zurich.

However, after hearing him speaking in Italian to the other staff it was clear that he was making fun of us because we were anglophones. When he came back to take our order he asked us where we were from two Australians and an American, after which he went into the kitchen and said that 'they're all American' and continued speaking about us in Italian we understand a little Italian and could pick up that it was racist, When were finished he came back and said 'you done' in a way that really meant 'get out'. So we paid and left and on the way out he made one more 'Americano' joke. The food was overpriced and I seriously resent paying for racist service.

I ordered the mussels with fries. The steak was juicy and well cooked but the mushroom onion reduction was overly salty. My mussels were pretty good, barely any sand I might add.

I could see him preparing our dishes and the smells made my mouth water. As the waitress brought pour my husband's plate another table behind us caught the waitress' attention and ordered another thing of fries. Our waitress went to talk to the chef and she came out with my mussels and dropped off MY fries at the other table. I was confused and upset since those were clearly my fries that I ordered before the table behind me. I am pregnant and had been craving for fries the whole day today and was hoping to get some crispy hot fries...the waitress apologized and offered me a side salad instead. She explained that they were all sold out of potatoes for the day. My darling husband gave me his fries instead but I couldn't shake the feeling that the reason my fries went to the table behind me was because we're Asian and the other table were Caucasian.

If this was to happen in the UK, there would be action taken against the waiter for racism.Our food was just about edible, had no flavour and the portions, well you could argue that we were lucky they were so small!We were made to feel uncomfortable by the waiter when he seemed to take pleasure in telling us they do not accept cards.

Even though we'd seen a gentleman that was clearly in charge in the place throughout our meal.We had a fantastic weekend in the city....A stunning place, with loads of lovely places to eat and see....THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM.

This isn't my first review for Sea Me. Used to come once a week my first year. After that a bit less as my restaurant experiences expanded. Quite liked sitting at the bar and having a good experience. Had been a while since the last visit and a friend wanted sushi. So I recommended Sea Me.As we approached the door a young Muslim couple with their stroller arrived at the same time. Respectfully, I let them go in before us. The gentlemen asked if there was a table for them. The female attendant at the door asked, ""Do you have a reservation"" His response was, ""We do not."" She tells him, ""nothing is open for tonight without a reservation."" He then asked, ""are you sure nothing is available"" ""Not tonight"" she replies. So they left. My friend and I requested to sit at the bar and was told there was space we could see there was and to wait a few minutes. We had no reservation. Then another two people came in and asked for a table without reservations. Just as the Muslim couple did before us. The attendant tells them, ""yes just wait a few minutes."" After that another couple walks in and asked for a table with no reservations and they were also told it was possible in a few minutes. ONLY the Muslin couple were turned away. This was quite sad to witness. The Muslim couple were dressed like any other tourists minus the wife's headscarf and were told there was absolutely no table available. Sea Me should be ashamed of themselves and this woman should be fired for her blatant racism. It's not fair and not right at all. Such a disgrace. Truly was disturbing.

With no one drinking from them surly waitress rudely warned another friend that drinking that water was prohibited even though he hadnt so much as touched it! Maybe they were just generally rude and not actually racist! Not so; we noted that an older white couple came in after us and were served coffee with a smile and a thank you which confirmed that our group which hails from 4 countries around the world was singled out for the special treatment by the young waitress. After waiting 20 or 30 minutes no food was forthcoming which was odd given the caf was nearly empty when we ordered. When a friend asked the less hostile waiter how long he expected the food to take his response was lets see what happens!!!

I had already picked what I wanted after looking at the menu for 20 mins and asked if i could order it anyway, seeing as the Austrian table behind me hadnt been given the lunch menus / had them swapped too. I was refused the food I wanted and so went for something off the lunch menu despite the fact of wanting to walk out at this point. What made it worse was that my tiny snack was served at exactly the same time as other tables were being served food from the main menu, which made me feel very angry and discriminated against. Another Asian couple was given the lunch menu at the same time, and later on in the evening the lady tried to seat a family of 4 on my table with me they were British. After a while of speaking lots of German to them and them saying it was strange / awkward she moved them to a table next to me and left them to order from the main menu by this point.

However, the racism command in the recent post triggered my curiosity and I feel the fair way to make a judgement is to have the first hand experience . So here I am, a solo Asian traveller came here to have a try. I will start from the food...I guess I probably ordered the wrong food . Everyone was taking highly about the schnitzel, I chose to have Herb Pasta and Creamy asparagus soup. Both dishes were too salty to my like this is my third time in Austria, I feel Austrian do love their salt! It reads in the menu that the herb pasta is a special Vienna cuisine . It is special. I have never had anything quite like this before pasta cut in squareish shape and mixed with pickled cabbage , but it is not to say I liked it very much though. Base on the satisfaction of the food, I rate this restaurant 3 stars. The salad on the side was the best! Now service I got a table very quickly and the waiter manager greeted me as soon as I arrived. I was given a fourseats table with reservation sign on that I guess the manager was happy to let me use the table with the assumption that I wont occupy the table for too long . The service was prompt . I was given an English menu as the waiter realised I didnt speak German. I was satisfied with the service. Nothing outstanding but I have nothing to complain either.I kind of feel racism is always a heavy accusation, in saying that I do understand perception and feelings are always subjective.

Heard that Rockpool was a very decent restaurant and we dressed up to have a nice dinner on boxing day.It is true that the food was quite nice, but it was a pity that we had to spend quite a money only to feel racism and ignored. This is my first time that I leave a review on trip advisor, but i am doing so, so that other people get treated properly for that worth of time and money.The table was located on the 2nd floor, and there was a gentleman attending us, and I expect him to be from Europe for his accent. We had to wait a long time every time we needed something, and it was so annoying to wait during the dinner. You should place more people to attend the guests if one person is not enough for serving. The bread was so hard that it nearly cost my teeth to get a bite, so we asked for different one, and we did not get that, although we waited 10 mins, 20 mins...and finally we could not have that during dinner.Also, when we ordered just one dessert because we were so full, the waitor said ""just one dessert that's it hahaha!!!"" and it was very very uncomfortable, rude, humiliating and felt as if he were laughing at us. You smile to people not laugh at them, and your restaurant needs to educate the waitor if he does not know that. Actually everything was perfect including the food and the place, but just one person attending us was so unpleasant that it ruined the whole dinner, when spending quite a bit of a money.Yes, he might have had a hard day working on holiday seasons, but we felt racism because he was so respectful, attending and friendly to other tables who seemed to be like white Americans and Australians, and us being Asians, we felt left out and ignored for the whole dinner. I am aware that Rockpool is a very highly rated restaurant with good food, and I am writing this review so that you can improve and people get treated with repect / have nice experience at your place." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg255060d4779005r296819663CantonNoodleHouseBurwoodSydneyNewSouthWales.html,Date of visit: August 2015,South Pacific,Australia,New South Wales,"Greater Sydney, Australia",A taste of reverse racism,"Waited for 10 mins for menu, placed order, 20 mins later was served cold noodles, returned to staff, waited 30mins, no food.other dish served was warm and tasteless.

There was a very loud drunk woman who insulted staff members, patrons, and people outside the bar. When we alerted the management and security they refused to kick her out. The drunk woman claimed she works at honeysuckle. I came with a group of friends and this drunk woman was yelling the moment we arrived. I heard her arguing with another customer and yelling at the waitress several times.Then an hour later, she really showed her true colors.Outside the bar, there were a group of young men quietly watching the soccer game.The drunk woman who was still drinking at a nearby table insulted them calling them poor monkeys. Then she started taking pictures of them. When the men protested she said more racist insults.There were two other tables of customers watching this gross behavior. One of the customers told the woman that she shouldn't take pictures of those men and she has been the aggressor. The woman became louder and angrier and started insulting one of the customers with racist insults and even insulted the people of ghana. She used a series of profane words and screamed at everyone at the bar.However the worst part was when a manager came with security and they didn't throw her out. They told the customers not to engage with her. Then the female manager sat down with the drunk woman. The female manager and the drunk woman were the only non black people there. It's very disappointing that even in ghana, people bring their racist attitudes and try to establish their racist culture here. If the situation was reversed and a black woman had insulted white patrons at the bar, she would be forced to leave. Yet at honeysuckle, you can insult black people, Ghanaians, and the manager will sit down and join you.I cannot come here again and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. I hope this place shuts down and the management and owners learn that racism has no place in ghana." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg293916d1593132r553270683BoLanBangkok.html,Date of visit: December 2017,Asia,Thailand,Bangkok,"Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia","Not worth a Michelin star. Mediocre food, racism and questionable service","I booked it for lunch because it's in Asia's Top 50. Now they have a Michelin star and after my experience here I thought this was all so fake. I came here alone and I arrived earlier than expected. I was made to sit outside to wait because the table ""was not ready"". After 15 minutes I was seated so no issue there. The other couple who came shortly after me was told the same thing. They were both seated 10 minutes after I got mine. However, the table that was given to them was already ready long ago, I have no idea why can't they seat people when the table is already ready Must you make people wait outside This is a super pretentious move.I ordered food for one, and coffee. Beef chilli basil clear pork soup. The bill came up to around THB 1k but was my meal worth it To start with the person who served my food as she served every other table she explained what was it but when it comes to mine she did not. I felt this was absolutely unprofessional, is this some kind of discrimination/racism So white looking tourists gets an explanation while Asians like us gets ignored I don't see the reason to selectively explain to people they want to. I immediately raised this to the manager and after my complaint, everyone gets equal treatment. In terms of food taste beef and chilli basil, mostly wasn't even meat to begin with. Fats, tendon and all the slimy stuff minced on a plate. Clear pork soup wasn't attractive. The only thing that was worth mentioning was the perfectly fried egg. To pay THB1k for mediocre food and very bad service, it is certainly not worth it. A single simple Thai dish like this did not score high, why would I even order anything else Never knew that an establishment like this deserves to receive a single Michelin star. I will definitely not return nor recommend this place to anyone, unless they fix their staffs and improve on the food. That being said, the manager who spoke a little more English than the rest was alright at least she acknowledged it.I would rather go to Osha Thai/Paste instead much much better overall package; food, service and satisfaction." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg293916d3266447r299187644EscapadeBurgersandShakesBangkok.html,Date of visit: August 2015,Asia,Thailand,Bangkok,"Bangkok, Thailand",Rare example of Thai racism against foreigners,"Everyone knows Thailand is famous for its smiles, and generally Thai people are warm and friendly towards outsiders.

Unfortunately, this whiskey lounge is anything but. They're already in a fairly dodgy building and despite their fantastic selection, there are very few people. Why would a place like this in such a busy area be so quiet It's simple. The employees have an extreme arrogant view and are simply racist.

We also noticed every diner had been given a glass of hot water apart from us! After 'forgetting' we had ordered two meals instead of one, we also found that some of ther waitresses did not want to serve us, one getting a trainee colleague to do it so that she didn't have to. Another waitress also waved our request for help away!I was shocked and appalled at how a restaurant and it's staff could make a paying customer feel so awful about themselves, especially as we had done nothing to upset or annoy them! The only explanation for how we were treated compared to others was that we were not locals. We refused to pay the 10 service charge they applied to our bill, and I suggest that unless you want to role play how discrimination feels you should not eat here." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg294265d1971687r628043645ChinatownSeafoodRestaurantSingapore.html,Date of visit: September 2018,Asia,Singapore,Singapore,"Mumbai, India",Stale food underlining racism,"Went there twice, the first time was asked, if there for drinks or dinner, and then denied the table stating we are full though there were prime seats available.

But I guess there is always a first time for everything. We arrived in Dubrovnik around 10:00 pm one night last week and after checking into our suites, asked our hostess for recommendations on places to eat. She immediately recommended Wanda as it right next door. So off we went as we were starving after a delayed plane ride from Berlin. We glanced at the menu and waited to be seated. After about a 5 minute wait, the maitred', who is also the owner, came up to us. I asked for a table for 4. There were lots of empty tables inside and a couple out on the street. But he looked at me and said they were closed. I was a little surprised because: 1. We had just watched him seat another couple, and 2. in our experience restaurants in Europe rarely close that early. My wife said she did not get a good vibe from the owner, but the rest of us, which is me and my two kids told her she was just overreacting. They must really be closed. No matter, we found another place to eat just down the street.As we really wanted to try this restaurant, we decided we would try again to have dinner there the next night. We made sure we got there early this time, so around 9:00 pm. we made out way there. We waited by the entrance, while the waiter walked by us several times. And so did the owner, at least twice. After keeping us waiting longer than the previous night the owner comes up to us and again I ask for a table for 4. He says they are full. Again there are at least 10 empty tables. So it's now clear that we are not wanted. We head off to a different restaurant where we are warmly welcomed and seated immediately, just like the previous night. The next morning we let our hostess know what had happened and she was puzzled. So I asked her if it was because of our skin colour and she said no that was not possible. Now the mother of our hostess does not speak english, but she was very friendly and did her best to communicate with us. So we let her know in english and sign language about our experience. And asked her to find out what the problem was. She promptly went over to the restaurant and when she came back a few minutes later she was visibly upset. She pointed to my arm, and when I said skincolour she nodded. And went on to indicate that the owner was a nasty person. She expressed with gestures and sign language how there were many people of colour in the town. But kept shaking her head at how we had been treated. So it turns out my wife was right when she said she got a really bad vibe from the owner of Wandas.I would love to have written a review about their food and I am sure it must be good. But unfortunately I will never know. And they will never get my business when we go back to Dubrovnik. This was the only bad experience we had here or anywhere else in Europe. The rest of our stay was awesome. And the other restaurants like LAJK that we ate at were very good. But this experience did leave a bad taste. How unfortunate that one incident can mar a perfectly good trip." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg295424d8792336r582559290LaTerrazzaDubaiEmirateofDubai.html,Date of visit: May 2018,Middle East,United Arab Emirates,Emirate of Dubai,unknown,The worst racism experience ever in Dubai during Ramadan for that matter,"I was called for a business meeting scheduled at 4pm on the 24th of May 2018 .I arrived at La Terrazza and my partner was waiting for me in the smoking area, apparently this was my first time visiting this restaurant.I kindly asked the way from a chef that works there and he directed me, as i arrived in the main hall that separates the smoking area and the dining i then asked a Philipino lady and she kindly pointed it out.As i entered i noticed my partner busy with a group of Europian clients so i decided to wait and i again asked the same lady if i could sit in the dining area while i wait for him , she permitted me.The restaurant was so empty and they were far from doing any operations as it was still Ramadan hours, minutes after a young Arabic waiter possibly Egyptian,very rude approached me and asked me like he was talking to his child what i wanted,what are you doing here,what do you want,why are you sitting here, he harassed me despite the fact that the young lady explained to him why i was there and i then asked him why he was talking to me in that manner...This guy was very rude and i asked if he was the manager and he said yes i am the manager what do you want...The place looks decent and all that but to have such treatment because you have a black skin wasn't nice at all and to consider the fact that the it's suppose to be a peaceful time and caring time i was very bitter....I never got the chance to do what i came for and he just ruined my entire day....His name is Nabil if i haven't forgot...in hospitality, you don't need his kind honestly..." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg29734d9711129r517857537VillaRificiRistoranteAbseconNewJersey.html,Date of visit: June 2017,United States,New Jersey NJ,Jersey Shore,angelampowell,Blatant Racism,"If you are okay with blatant racism smack dab in your face, then this is the place to go.

I visited this restaurant for evening tea and snacks because I was staying in same hotel. I was deeply disappointed and never ate here again despite staying in their hotel.First of all, its a sensitive issue and I am not a professional writer. But I will put it as carefully as I can. This is possibly only place where I have seen a very obvious and blatant racism against Indians. I understand that some waiters want to serve foreigners well in expectations of fat tips. But nowhere else I have found this attitude blatant, obvious and at the cost of Indian patrons. As soon as we entered waiter gave us a look as if we were not supposed to be there. Hello Mr Waiter, wake up. I am staying with you. Dont expect me to go out for tea.Anyway, back to food. They took 45 minutes to serve tea. Then, I almost vomited on first sip. My wife immediately figured out that they had put salt instead of sugar by mistake. So we call the waiter and he is not even sorry. He simply takes away the tea and replaces it after some time. This time no sugar in tea. And no sugar was to be found anywhere. Attitude of waiter was such that we couldnt dare to call him again and ask for such luxury as sugar!We tasted few other dished we had ordered and didnt find anything worth eating.

However, I can honestly say that the blatant racism that I experienced at Chillis on Wolf Road, Albany NY left a really bad taste in my mouth. I will never go there again for the rest of my life. It was my son's birthday, and we went there along with few friends to have a nice dinner. Our server was an older lady and as she took our drink order and tried to engage with us her energy seemed off. After she returned with our beverages and was in the middle of taking our meal order she said ""give me two minutes, I'll be right back"". My friend looked at me saying that's weird. I didn't think much of it. I assumed she might have to run to the restroom or something that would justify her running off in such manner. After she left out table she hurried around to a ""white couple"" who had been seated as she was about to take our order. Apparently she couldn't allow them to wait even though they came in after my group. That did not sit well with me. I watched as she placed utensils on their table, took their drink order and left to ring it in. I walked to the hostess stand and requested a different server. The hostess told me that she would get her manager in order for me to get my request. After waiting for a few minutes a male manager walked over. I told him what had happened and he didn't seem to care. He didn't say I'm sorry, or anything that you would expect of a manager in customer service. All he said was I'll see if I can find someone. I watched him walk to the back of the restaurant in the kitchen area as he talked and laugh with the same server who deserted my table to assist the ""white"" couple. At that point I knew my business wasn't welcome there and I walked out. That has been the worst service that I've ever experienced in my life. African Americans are not welcome there. Don't go there! That experience left me with a number of thoughts, like what do they really do to the food that they serve us.

I insisted that it's unacceptable and he immediately rasied his voice, blaming me for the altercation and threatened to kick me out. So we went back and forth then I told him I won't settle the bill if he insists on kicking me out and doing nothing to him and he just told me to go have a beer and not cause trouble.

I talked to the same manager that I had taken permission from but he said that he was unable to help me and I could not enter. I think that this was really bad behaviour and as I was talking to the manager I was surrounded by bouncers who were threatening and rude. Finally I was forced to leave the club which was quite bad and was left feeling betrayed by the management. They should have told me earlier the club rules and casual dressing should not have been mentioned on the Google my business page as I was going with that information. So yes my whole night was ruined and somehow I left with a bad impresssion of Rajasthani hospitality which is supposed to be impeccable. I am sure that if I was a foreigner dressed in shorts I wouldn't have experienced this but in a way I saw racism towards indians at work at this place. They ruined my night and my entire vist to Jaipur.

My 80 year old mother has a membership there. The daytime staff know us, respect us, and treat us very well. There is a world surf competition in Jac this weekend and Jac Blu has brought in extra security which I understand, however they are thugs and bullies. I was sitting at a table, having a drink, and had my foot up on another chair which everyone does, my mother does, is not uncommon, and are metal lounge chairs at a pool. A security guy came over to tell me to remove my foot but didn't just do it nicely or respectfully, because regardless of my opinion, if he had I would have just done it. He brought a big, bully, bouncer over to intimidate me and blatantly puffed up, looked at me and treated me aggressively, then even after I removed my foot asked me if there was a problem. I told him I complied and him intimidating intentionally is wrong and I was going to pay my bill and leave. He then called over 6 other security staff who stood their, laughed, harassed, made jokes, and intentionally continued to try and intimidate me. I paid my bill, tipped my waiter, who was embarassed and apologized, and started to leave. As I was leaving I was continually harassed, threatened, and bullied. At that point I got onto the street outside of Jac Blu being followed by the big bouncer. I felt threatened and in danger and turned around, told him I complied, payed my bill, and willingly left with no incident but if he followed me onto the street I would be forced to react in a defensive manner. Then as I was walking up the street they continually harassed, made comments, threatened me, and the bouncer told the security guy to pull his machete. I told them that I was leaving, off the property, and if he pulled his machete I would justifiably use any means necessary to defend myself. The only time I go to Jac Blu is in the day with my mother because they blatantly mistreat ""gringos"", take advantage of us, and disrespect us. This was a blatant act of racism and agression. I would not recommend this place as a spoteam for tourists to visit and will also be taking legal measures to further follow up on this appalling treatment." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg312578d6474679r341344742RocketRestaurantJohannesburgGreaterJohannesburgGauteng.html,Date of visit: December 2015,Africa,South Africa,Gauteng,"Johannesburg, South Africa",Ginger beer with a side of racism,"After my bookclub meeting on Sunday I joined my family at Rocket Parkhurst.

The truth is we arrived on a busy day with rugby being played in good view of our table. The fact that you can watch sports on a TV or outside is a bonus. The fact you can get a 1kg burger or monster Tbone or 1/2kg cut of meat on tap or an amazing array of beers. This is a pub environment or a steakhouse environment or a sports bar. I have had many periperi sauces but there is a unique edge to this one, although not hot, it is tasty. On principle based on what I have read in the reviews I will not comment on the service or management and I hope that this gets sorted out quickly as it will have an impact on whether I return again or not.

We were 3 girls in Huntington beach for 3 nights a doctor, a teacher and a scientist, not J1 students definitely don't go to HB if you're looking for a J1 and just wanted a normal night out. We were all over 21, and presented our passports at the door only to be told that they weren't legitimate forms of ID despite the fact that over 120 countries in the world seem to think that passports are legitimate. We were told that the only way we could get in was to be personally escorted in by a police officer. Meanwhile many Americans could easily walk in after displaying whatever ID they had on them. This is an common thing to experience in HB. Ask any waiting staff in the restaurants in main street. That's where you'll get some honesty. They'll be straight up with you and tell you that many places will turn you away if you're Irish. The Killarney bar across the road is exactly the same. We argued with the door man and repeatedly told him that he was being racist and discriminatory. We insisted on seeing the manager and said that their door policy reminded us of the 1960's policy of ""No Blacks, No Dogs, No Irish"". We only were allowed in after the customers outside with us started arguing on our behalf with the staff. After all that, it wasn't even worth it. Apart from the English football scarf wrong country guys! hanging behind the bar, this place was no different to any other dump you'd encounter anywhere else.Overall, my experience of HB as a young person was awful and I would actively discourage any young Europeans from visiting here. I really regret going. It's a sleepy boring area with nothing to do. It really is only a surfing beach and a main street with overpriced souvenirs shops.

My first encounter on the day of its opening with the founder Akash and I hear this statement....wow! Really it's another Tommy Hilfiger scoop for the broadsheet here if you want to pickup. Wish I had recorded this conversation but only if I had known what I am about to witness is racism. I wouldn't rule out a place just because of my brief conjecture and decided to give this place a shot purely for food and service. Went on number of occasions and found it pretty busy. Saw the owner at the counter and congratulated him again. Got a cold shoulder yet again, this is incredible for a restaurant owner who has filled seats in the first week of opening. A little smile or sign of joy would have done the trick but no his attitude remained what you call of a server who is very disgruntled by working long hours and under paid.This story gets better so read on....I decided to give them another shot to see how they fair in outdoor catering or rather their catering with delivery option not available so you better pick up despite ordering four days in advance. Fair enough restaurant is busy and they don't want to delay orders. But messing up order for over 30 people Yes that's painful not for the restaurant but for the guests and the host as they go home hungry. Deconstructing the scenario here:Day 1 Called their catering number to enquire about the Diwali package a week prior. Response received yes they can do delivery and make changes but need to check the slots so send an email. Call answered by guess who None other than the owner Akash.Day 2 Visited restaurant and ordered the Thali to taste the food and ensure we know what we are ordering. The aloo gobhi served in restaurant is totally different from their catering menu and no information given whatsoever. The gobhi cauliflower we got was uncooked with hard potatoes. So essentially nothing for vegetarian guests during the party.Same day spoke to a very polite gentleman Emyr. He answered questions but couldn't confirm the delivery and order details so requested us to email or call on the catering number.Phoned them same afternoon and got in touch with Rana another owner.After answering our questions which she seemed rather reluctant, I told her about my observation that how I have enquired about catering with number of people in last couple of days and no one seems to have the exact information and everyone says to call the catering number which is what I have been doing. Instead of trying to fix the problem she abruptly said, "" no one is forcing you to order with us""...yes Maam, you are not forcing usand this kind of attitude is unpalatable leaving a very very bad taste before even eating your food.Day 3 Ordered food for 30 people as we had a party and this restaurant despite the fetid attitude has some decent food. Day 4 My guests went home hungry why because they messed my order for over 30 people who were vegetarian and got Saag chicken for their mains and uncooked gobhi. Round of applause for this upcoming restaurant which has been completely successful in ruining my experience not on one but every occasion. ...Bravo!!The concept of this restaurant has a good potential only if the owner evolve their demeanor from being arrogant to humble and start paying attention to their customer service.On contrary the service staff I have come across has been good, polite and smiley. The food is decent not extraordinary. Expensive yes for the kind of the restaurant which I would pay happily but they can't expect people to suck up to what they offer especially ""the racist, I don't care attitude""." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg33031d8541651r308356448ChampagneSeafoodRestaurantSanMateoCalifornia.html,Date of visit: September 2015,United States,California CA,San Mateo,"San Francisco, California","Good food, maybe a side of racism","First off, the food is quite good, the restaurant is very clean and new, with a nice ambiance. At this place, you order your dim sum by checking off what you'd like on a menu, rather than having the carts pushed around. This means its a little less chaotic than other places of the size. Nice selection of dim sum types, with some interesting options I haven't seen elsewhere like salty dumplings with pumpkin and multiple different types of green vegetable. However, it was kind of disconcerting as a group of nonAsians to have the hostess walk up to us and say ""Gweilo"" while frowning means 'white ghosts' or 'white devils'. She then walked us past a large number of empty tables to seat us at arguably the worst table in the restaurant, stuck at the kitchen entrance where there was a buffet table being used by the waitstaff to bus tables, prep stuff, etc. The least attractive corner of the restaurant.We were then ignored. A few of the hot dishes arrived cold, such as fried taro dumplings. Aside from food being dropped off, we didn't have any service, although the staff was coming and going to tables near ours. Trying to get anyone's attention to get our bill took so long we contemplated leaving without it doubt anyone would have noticed. When we finally paid, the person forgot to bring back my credit card for a good 15 minutes. Upon leaving, we noticed another group of Gweilo being led to the same table.Luckily, the food and our own company was good enough that we just laughed about the hilariously bad service.We ordered way too much, and the bill came to about 110 for 5 people, but again, we ordered way too much.If you do go here, make sure to try the abalone." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg33324d381423r569702560ChopHouseBreweryBoulderBoulderColorado.html,Date of visit: March 2018,United States,Colorado CO,Boulder,"Boulder, Colorado",The Quiet Racism of Boulder Strikes Again!,"On March 29th, a friend and I chose this restaurant for my friends goingaway meal. When we got there, our server was Katie, and she seemed nice in the beginning. My friend and I both apologized for coming in 40 minutes before you closed, but seeing as the news of her leaving town had just happened, it was a last minute decision. Moreover, I usually enjoy my time at the Chophouse in Denver, but when I come to the Boulder location I usually sit at the bar with Erica who is always a pleasure, so I believed the service and food would be great.. Anyway, after we finished our meal with the exception of that heinous cornbread, I paid and went to the restroom. Upon returning, my friend informed me that Katie looked in the bill book in front of her saying, Im just going to do some quick math, and after seeing that I tipped her properly, she tried to cover her rudeness by adding, I just wanted to make sure she didnt leave her card. I have been in customer service for the last 12 years, including serving tables, and never have I been so rude and disrespectful to check a tables tip in front of them. Im just going to do some quick math implies that she expected us, as AfricanAmerican women, to leave a poor tip. In all honestly, on a 98 bill, I absolutely planned on tipping her 20, but I was thinking of giving more because of the fact that we were the last table and, as Ive already said, Im usually treated with respect. Im glad I didnt. This is the ultimate problem: The racism that Boulder tries to pretend it doesnt have has made things so unbearable for my friend that she has given up trying to make life work here, and we were sharing one last meal together in this town. I myself have endured this trouble for the last 2 years: I have written about it, been published in Boulder Weekly, and have called it out on air at KGNU. Katie feeling the need to assume she wouldnt be tipped, AND CHECKING IN FRONT OF US, is another example of Boulders regular passiveaggressive and microaggressive attitude towards People of Color, who are already few and far between in this socalled sanctuary city. I even made a point to ask Katie to her face if it was good enough math for her. All she could do was the SAME NONCHALANT GIGGLE THAT ALL OF BOULDER SEEMS TO DO when being called out for its postracial lies. Boulder claims to be aware of itself and receptive to new ideas and people, but it has shown me over and over that that is an illusion this town feeds itself and projects to the rest of the world.

I have a daughter, adopted from China I am Caucasian. The Barnum Ave Subway had a young blonde girl working there with a bigtime BAD attitude. I went in with a male friend who she apparently had flirted with previously. She didnt seem happy to see us all together. She made remarks like ""YOU are all together!"" with horrified undertones. She was rude. NOT OK. The one at the dock....just plain stingy/cheap. My daughter is a vegetarian. She would get the kids meal, with American cheese a few veggies.....I would ask for a few extra slices of cheese. Since she wasnt getting the coldcuts...and I am paying the same. No brainer, right I mean, meat is more expensive than cheese anyway! The manager Indian or Bangladeshi American gave me a hard time, then flat out refused. NEVER again. I won't go to Subway. The one across from Wendy's on Main Street isnt much better last I was there. There was one employee female who was great.....friendly, had the ""Customer comes first"" attitude that businesses should have. She was fired. I dont know the details. Probably for giving out extra slices of cheeses. Ha. The next girl young, Hispanic refused the extra cheese.....wouldnt give me her NAME! Unbelievable. Pretty sad, since Subway was founded in CT! But since they are franchised.....not much you can do, except go to Social Media. Yep. Gonna go there! There are, of course, some that are great. West Haven, Waterbury near Coco Cay, etc. But....IMO avoid the Stratford Subways. They SUCK. And if you read my reviews, I do not usually give bad reviews like this.

It was an obvious case of racism, although we can't be 100 sure of what happened before, but the owner was kicking out a black guy and giving him a hard time because he had on lowhanging pants. The guy getting kicked out didn't put up a fight and walked out with his head hanging, obviously embarrassed.My friend asked the bouncer what was happening, and the bouncer shrugged and said ""he's the owner, he can do whatever he wants.""Just wanted to put it out there so that others can see this.

I went there on Monday, Martin Luther King Day of all days for breakfast with a dear friend of mine. The treatment that he received was pure racism. We sat at the counter. He came in after me. I took a seat, explained to the waitress Leslie that my friend would be joining me momentarily and could she please clear the place next to me. She did and all seemed well until he sat down. Her entire demeanor changed. In today's world it is hard for me to even fathom people with this thought process. Much less write about it. However, I can not and will not let it go untold. I am a white female R.N. My friend is a black male who was a Marine. He now works at the V.A. He has dedicated his life to our country. Besides that he is one of the finest individuals I've had the privilege of knowing. I asked Leslie to take our order. She took mine and when it was his turn she said ""Well, I wasn't that ready"". She turned my order into the kitchen then proceeded to clear tables and do side work. After 10 minutes I called her over. I said ""You are aware we are together"" She then grudgingly took his order. A few minutes later a Hispanic man sat down at the counter. He was by himself. He sat there for 10 minutes or so. Leslie never acknowledged him. He finally got up and left. My food came out. She served me. Then she served a white male's food who she had taken his order after my friends. I would not eat until my friend was served. After we left my friend said ""Wow!"" See he is too much of a gentleman to do that in the restaurant. I called the restaurant and spoke to Jill, the manager. I gave her my name and phone number. She said the owner would call me back. That was 48 hours ago. I will never set foot in this establishment again. I am appalled at the treatment that my friend, a vetrian received, the Hispanic male and who knows who else. Wow!

We politely told her we were just videoing the event and not her crew. Before the manager came out one of our family members was served a rotten baked potatoe and ask for the manager. The manager never did address the rotten potatoe but address the family about our phones. The cashier acting so rude to our family, she continued looking at our table and talking about our family. We felt like we were in some movie made back in the 1950s. We asked for the manager but she never came out to speak to us because she was in the back calling the sheriff department on us. I explained to the lady we have not committed any crime and why did she call the sheriff department on our family because we were black americans. The manager rudely laughed at me. I asked for the owner number and she said the owner told her to call the sheriff. My family politely paid the bills and left their premises.

I must say our waiter was very nice up to the point where he took us the check without offering us desert obviously rushing us out. we did not even finish eating before he took us our check. My husband asked if we could stay and listen to the band as he said he would not be rushed out for a service he is paying for. The waiter said ok but we could see he had to go explained to a lady why were not gone and she was obviously upset with him for not successfully ejecting us from our seat and the restaurant. we all sat in amazement watching them talk.

Apart from that, I had never entered a place where it felt as heavy as Carol's Place. The old waitresses are very serious, or at least serious for anyone who is not North American since several times I smiled with two of them and their response was disapproval and seriousness, but with my American friends it was all laughter. My waitress forgot to offer me coffee, she did not give me extra napkins until I asked for them, Really if you're not a North American person or if you're not blond, white with blue or green eyes you can breathe racism everywhere. I do not consider myself a selfconscious person at all, but it was very funny to enter and observe some disapproving looks from the diners and some old waitresses. While I waited for my food I could observe how some people sitting at a table near me commented on atrocities of some black people who were in front of me. If this restaurant does not have bad comments, I'm sure it could be because only North American people have commented that they have really had a good time understanding racism on the part of those in charge of Carol's place. As for breakfast, nothing bad. It is not the most exquisite thing on the planet but it is allowed to eat, except pancake that are horrible and tasteless. I really felt very disappointed that this still happens in the society in which we live, unfortunately I think that racism is something that can not be eradicated so easily from some societies.

Shortly after the owner came out and unloaded on his friend, who is darker skinned and told him the water balloon had special meaning and yelled and screamed. My poor 11 year old daughter was so frightened she offered the woman her last five dollar bill to help pay for the stupid balloon. She also apologized to her twice. I called this woman once I heard about this and the only thing she had to say was that she didn't yell but was unhappy about having to clean the ""mess"". water and a balloon.

We said that we did not, and the female hostess/server said that she had to check for space. She returned from the back of the restaurant and informed us that we could sit at the bar for dinner. We inquired if all of the tables were reserved and she said that they all were. Our level and sense of discomfort was great and we had an uneasy feeling that we were not considered the appropriate types of customers there.

The price seemed a little too high for the place, but we gave it a try. First ""formal"" restaurant we've been where you pay before you eat your meal... The portions of both, my husband and mine, fresh fish was like a kid's size nugget. And the salad consisted on a bunch of packed dry lettuce and a few small pieces of tomatoes, that's it... PLUS served on plastic plates with plastic utensils. We were shocked! I asked to talk to the manager or owner. We felt that what we were being served was not at all worth the price we payed for. He came to our table and in a very polite manner I explained our reasons for the discomfort and showed him what we were served. I gave him a comparison with a few similar places we are clients of in Miami. He said, ""oh yes, I shall be ashamed of myself for serving you this."" He took the plates and throw them in the trash. I went to the cashier to ask if we were going to get new plates or our money back By then were were feeling really uncomfortable and it was already a terrible experience. He gave us the money back and proceded to insult me not considering us as a firsttime customers, not considering other customers around, not considering us as human beings. Instead, he was very quick at saying ""you should be ashamed of yourself"" ""do you think these old white people ever complain about my food"" ""you Miami people... we don't like your kind, do not ever comeback to my restaurant."" And the door was slammed after we left. Well, that made it somewhat clear to us. We were shocked. Quietly returned to our car and realized we had been victims of racism by someone who is clearly in the wrong job, who has no sensitivity whatsoever and who is quick at bullying people, more so if you are LatinAmerican and European, like my husband and I.

He also said the wait was because the restaurant could not accommodate such a large party of 5 people it might be even longer wait. Than it sank in. This place had parties seated that were 8 plus, one party had 10 people and he didnt want us waiting inside the restaurant with other patrons.

Sitting at the table across from us were a small group of loud obvious racist, who kept using the ""N"" word and telling inappropriate racist jokes LOUDLY across to people at the bar. My wife and I are an interracial couple who have been married more than 25 years, and we were incredibly surprised that no one said anything. Obviously, I wanted to speak up but my wife just wanted to get out as quickly as possible.

Another male Caucasian customer stated they ignored him as well and refused to take his and others orders also. We were forced to use a kiosk that was dirty and nasty. However, I observed when black customers approach the counter, the clerk quickly and cheerfully took their order. In addition, the clerk didn't give a receipt for my order. Upon requesting the front manager to get me a receipt, she did not know how to work the registers enough to supply one. As always I remained polite and told the manager I would not return to this location and they needed to ""get their act together"" and left to some applause from other customers sitting at a nearby table. The only positive highlights were my order was correct and observing the cook working hard and diligently to keep orders going out.From reading other reviews in Trip Advisor.com and Facebook, it appears this is an ongoing problem for approx. 3 years reviews from 5 yrs ago are mostly positive.

We had dinner at a Japanese restaurant before we left Portland, Maine. The writing on the paper strip reads, Please pay tips as 15 to 18 of your cost. Thank you so much for coming. Thank you! It is in Chinese. We asked the waitress do they have the same paper strip printed in other languages, as well as to ask their manager to come. She signed, Uh! while leaving our table. The owner of the restaurant came. He explained that they printed these strips since some travelers dont know the culture of paying tips here. We said, Do you have the same paper strips in Japanese, Korean, French or Spanish, any other languages Please show us. He responded that the Japanese on the plate has the same meaning. We dont believe these five Japanese characters carry the same meaning. The owner said, If you dont want to pay tips, thats okay. You dont need to pay. We said, This is not the matter of money.I want to say that the owner talked gently to us from the beginning, and he apologized in the end. However, the waitress said, I hope you guys have a wonderful day. I dont want to serve people like you, when she returned the receipts for us to sign.I was pissed off. But later on, I feel sorry for the waitress who would be almost impossible to develop her empathy and mentality to understand why we were angry and why what they are doing is considered practicing racism. She viewed us as unreasonable and aggressive troublemakers.I experienced regionalism in Taiwan and Hong Kong. After Singapore, Korea, Malaysia, Cambodia, America, Peru, and Bolivia, finally, I experienced how racism is like, which, to some extent, is eyeopening. I never saw this kind of reminders in any restaurant in Boston, New York, and DC, the only cities I have been to in the states. I am a student who lives with a financial constraint.

My husband is Chinese so we stared at each in shock for a moment and then I went to speak to the manager. When she asked what she could do for me, I explained that, while I was sure this older man working as the magician was lovely to them I was worried he might have been some employee's father , he had just started a trick with the line, ""two chinese, two mexicans, and I..."" and I thought that the restaurant management would want to know about it. I assumed, wrongly it turns out, that a young woman from New England in this day, so soon after the Charlottesville incident, would be concerned about the casual racism but she wasn't at all. She told me the management had hired this magician, she had no say in it, and that this line was only part of a trick anyway. I asked if she could think of anything in a magic trick that would make his opening acceptable and she started repeating, ""what do you expect me to do about this"" over and over. She finally offered to move us but I told her that wasn't at all my point; that I was more concerned that the restaurant had hired someone who was making casual racist comments and didn't appear to care. At that point, I walked back to my table to finish my father's birthday dinner. Our brisk waitress suddenly disappeared and we waited 40 more minutes for any food.

We ordered drinks and food and had just begun to eat when the manager walked over to us and put our bill inside a glass, and sat it down in front of us and walked away. The restaurant was full and from our observation no one else was given their bill inside a glass as they were still eating. The assumption by us was that we were to leave as soon as we were done eating. My husband was the only minority eating in the establishment at the time, which also made us wonder if we were getting targeted for being a minority family. Josephs is known for really good pie, which we were planning on ordering as well but we were not even given the option. The bar tender apologized for the rudeness displayed by the manager. My husband asked to speak to the manager and moved him into the lobby so that he was respectful of the other patrons. My husband voiced his concern to the manager and the manager began yelling at him, stating he gives the bill like that to all patrons, which as we observed was not true. The manager on his own without being questioned about racism stated, Im not a racist, but obviously that was a driving force behind his action to give us our bill while we were still eating or else he would have never jumped to that conclusion. The manager knew what he did was wrong, and his unprovoked denouncing of not being a racist was evidence of his true feeling that he didnt want us in his establishment." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg4366462d7046084r665759239NeptunesBeachBarInhambaneInhambaneProvince.html,Date of visit: April 2019,Africa,Mozambique,Inhambane Province,unknown,Good food but rife with racism,"We had a great culinary experience, with multiple recommended seafood dishes.

But the treatment received at John Mineos clearly suggests otherwise. Not only was the behavior of the manager on duty bad, but in providing feedback to the owner's son, John Jr., it was clear that the manager's behavior was condoned.

In either case, when I called that afternoon to speak to a manager, she told me that she was a manager. When I asked her why she kicked my son out of the restaurant, she denied his story.Manager on Duty: Kayla, the one with blue hairSum: What was supposed to be a treat, a nice distraction, from his greatgrandmother in the hospital became a sad reminder of the state of this country today.Details: On Tuesday, November 20, 2018, my Grandmother was taken for tests directly before noon. We used navigation to find a place where there was a great deal of fast food to distract the boys. My 12yearold was given a 10 bill and we said we would circle around to get him after the rest of us went through drive through. When we made it through Taco Bell then the Steak and Shake, we circled back to pick up our straight A, son to discover that he wasnt given a treat at all, but a life lesson on how people can be less than decent to others. I walked in and asked for a menu so I could see the toppings. The lady behind the counter said that they did not have a menu. I ended up just adding pepperoni because I was embarrassed to keep asking. But before she put my pizza in the oven, another person walked in with a baby. She spoke with that person and just let my pizza sit there. When the person left, she put my pizza in oven. When the pizza came out, she said, Bye, you can go now; I have other customers. My son was shocked and left the restaurant as instructed. He is used to listening to adults. But, when he got in the car, he told me that a blue haired woman named Kayla told him to leave the restaurant because she had other customers even though there were not other customers in the restaurant. There was a small table and two chairs that could be seen from the window where he could have sat until we returned. He ended up going inside the door briefly because he was getting cold but then we came to get him. When this story was told in the hospital, I promptly called the store. I asked to speak to the manager. Kayla said that she was the manager. I stated that my son said that he was asked to leave the restaurant. She stated that she was the only one that had been in the restaurant all day and that this did not happen.

A neat old diner that opens early, closes in the afternoon. We have had many good burgers and hot turkey sandwiches here. One of the waitresses here has always been friendly and a great server. One of the other waitresses...not. And I think the owner needs to learn to smile. Today we walked in at 1:40 p.m.. Closing time is 2:00 p.m.. There were four or five tables with people in various stages of their meal. Hubby asked as we walked in, ""Are we coming in too late"". The good waitress says, ""Oh No, come on in!"". We quickly ordered, since we know what we wanted, and had only water to drink. As we sat there, one or two tables finished and left. I saw two meals come out of the kitchen and delivered to a couple of men. At about three minutes to 2:00 they went over and flipped the open to closed on the door. Our lunch got delivered, and I had to ask for a couple of condiments that usually get delivered to your table on an order of ""hamburgers"" They got delivered to the table, no one asked if we wanted more water...or if our lunch was ok. Now get this...they started vacuuming with a LOUD vacuum. Nice touch to us starting our sandwiches! Then when she stopped vacuuming to go into the back for something, an older man, who was either a coowner or waiting for one of the workers to get off work, let out a racist rant on jay walkers! Something about so many of them get ran over because they look just like a shadow! No kidding, we are eating our lunch, and this guy just let it out! Then the waitress came back and started up old faithful and the noise started up again! We were gulping our food down this whole time, as we felt pressured to get done. Again, no one asked how are meal was, or if they could get us anything else. When we got up to pay, with cash the waitress said the cash register was taken into the back, and went back to get our change. We left feeling like we were unwanted guests, got horrible service, and were very upset about the racist joke that was told. I feel like NEVER going back, and will not recommend this place any more. The main thing here is this; We ASKED if we were coming in too late. Twenty minutes before they were to close. THEY said come on in. The vacuum should have not been ran while we were eating, the racist needs to shut his mouth, and the waitress needs to do her job, and serve us like customers...not intruders." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg52178d2302336r482119898BedfordDinerBedfordPennsylvania.html,Date of visit: May 2017,United States,Pennsylvania PA,Bedford,"Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania",I can't believe that there is STILL racism in 2017!!,"My hubby and I are actually still in this situation.

The, 'locals' were STARRING at us, as if we were a science experiment! As we stood there waiting to be seated, several waitresses, buzzed by us. Finally, a woman quickly, 'cleaned' a table. She walked by us saying, ""You can sit there.."" and pointed to the table. Which still has sticky stuff on it.As we made our way to the table, in this tiny, box of a restaurant, the locals never took their eyes off of us! Trying to make it uncomfortable for us. Every move we made, all eyes were on us. I was afraid to order anything like eggs or bacon, thinking that they may do something to our food, and advised my husband to get something that was like, bread or pancakes. We didn't drink the water, and ordered pancakes and potatoes. Overall, the food was okay, and our waitress, who incedently, tried to be nice, was probably the kindest one there. It took Ages to get our food, and seconds to get the check. If you are visiting the Bedford PA area, and you are a race, other than Caucasian, do yourself a favor, eat somewhere else.

As we approached the building, the bouncer stated id and it would be 5 dollar to get in. As we were both getting our id, the bouncee asked my fiance to pull his shirt up. We were just thinking maybe he didnt want to frisk him. My fiance complied and did what he asked for. Then the guy stated since his pants were pulled down slightly below from his waist that he wasnt allowed to go in. Now mind you, their several other males with their pants not properly placed on his hip. He was utterly rude and I have never seen such hypocrisy in my life. The sad thing this is when I went to another bar the bartender which is a Caucasian lady asked me where did my fiance and I come from I told her what occurred. She stated she wasnt shocked bc it happened to one of her girlfriend. Apparently she was wearing tights and wasnt permitted to come in but yet a young Caucasian lady after her was wearing the same attire and she was capable of going in.

Within five minutes he had managed to alienate us both with several sexist comments and some offensive language. He gave us two menus, dinner and 'comfort/light supper' and we went to the garden for a drink and to decide whether we actually wanted to eat here or not. It was a special occasion so we persevered. I ordered from the expensive dinner menu, my partner ordered fish pie from the other menu still 18. At this point Nick said 'oh, you've gone for the Jewish option', which we can only interpret at a serious racial slur about ordering from the 'cheap' menu. This is not ok, Nick. So perhaps we were sickened to the point of losing our appetite, but the food itself was woefully average and massively overpriced. My hake was completely tasteless, rubbery and overcooked; everything was bland and unseasoned, with no freshness or flair whatsoever. Very disappointing given the price. Our meal was rudely interrupted by Nick, who banged loudly on the back of the pew we were seated at.

I, specifically, came out for wings with sauce on side I hate wet wings that I use to enjoy here. The first order of wings came out with nickelsize white spots on a couple wings. The skin looked and felt like it still raw those spots. I told Clairen, the bartender, they were not done and asked if they could be cooked longer. She apologized and took them back. My wings came back and I was prepared to enjoy. However, the first wing I opened was extensively pink inside not just next to the bone. I again informed Clairen the wings were not done and showed her the pink wing. She apologized and said she would have them prepared again while I continued to eat my cheesesticks. Turns out only the two wings with the white spots were recooked from the first order. While waiting for the correction, a man whom I assumed to be a manager came over to me, but instead of apologizing for the problems he proceeded to tell me that wings being pink inside are normal and not an indication of rawness but how wings are. I pointed to the wings showing him the pink meat, the soft, wet skin and the toughness of uncooked meat and told him no fried wing that was done would present like this. He continued to explain and I asked him to just cook my wings longer. Instead of him following my request he continued to lecture me about wings, calling me ""girl"" at various points, and telling me I didn't have the Christmas spirit. I asked him to quit explaining to me and just bring me wings that were done. I informed him I was offended by him calling me a girl as I am a grown woman and asked him to quit calling me girl. He continued to repeat himself about the wings and tell me I had the wrong spirit. I asked him to just bring me wings that were done whatever he needed to do to them. He continued to repeat himself about wings being pink. At that point, I asked him to quit talking to me because I came here to relax with wings and a drink, asked him to bring me an order of wings that were done, told him I would no longer engage with him and turned away from him to reengage in the game I was watching. He continued to stand over me lecturing me about wings, antagonized me about ""my spirit"" and canceled/refused to place my order since I would no longer engage with him. As a Black woman, I am very familiar with individual acts of racism like this one, and I am more than disappointed with his blatant racist behavior. Even the White patrons next to me at the bar sat with their mouth gaping open at his behavior. but did not step in to say anything about his behavior Some say I should have expected it knowing I was the only Black person in the restaurant besides the waitress Kim and knowing the culture of Round Rock, but I guess my hope for an antiracist world keeps me engaging.

For the persons who thought it was racism I can understand why you would think that I would too if I were you but that likely has nothing to do with it because she does the same thing to us white folks. It's the same girl treatment many others have been complaining about on FB Trip Advisor. She's just a horrible waitress with a bad attitude and should be replaced or hidden in the back away from the customers. Bottom line, she doesn't care if you or I come in or not. I don't know if she's part of ownership, management or related to them but she should definitely NOT be a waitress. I won't go back there again always encourage the group to go somewhere else when it comes up. It's such a tiny little place they really don't care if there is only a handful of people in there anyway and clearly she doesn't need the customers or money. And when you are being ignored....everyone see's it because it's such a small place. It's embarrassing once you figure out you are not wanted there therefore will get no service from her. Life's too short to support people/businesses like that.

But yesterday 12/17/2016 I had a racist discrimination by a female white waiter. The male waiter was a true gentleman. He served us with class but at around 11:30 pm only the female waiter was left. She was not that busy but she never cared to serve us. So we decided to pay our bill and leave. Everyone else got a waiter wallet but she just dropped a paper bill on us. Despite this I tipped 20. But the waiter never picked up our final receipt which was right there but picked up the wallets of everyone else. I could see her looking at the receipt. Finally, I had enough, I took the receipt with me so she missed her 5 tip. If you have issues serving people of color, choose another career where you can a choice.

At the exit, we bumped into my motherinlaw that was supposed to meet us for lunch. We told her our horrible treatment at the queue but she said that we couldn't walk away and that we must confront them about their behaviour. We went back and asked for the manager but when we told her about our treatment, she didn't even listen to our complaint and just jumped and said that her the manager was married to a Black Man and no one was racist in her Pub. So a word of advice, as for myself, I will never set my foot in that routine place. Because the manager herself is a racist for backing racism of her own staff. Its a shame really to see such a thing in a close community.Ps. Yes and this was probably our 15th visit in the place, cause we've been going there for over a year.

My hamburger steak was good, mashed potatoes fine, biscuits and cornbread nice, and the green beans had so much bacon fat in them that they couldn't help being delicious my guess about the bacon fat I could be wrong.....This is homestyle cooking without any attention to health, so overall tasty, but left me feeling like I shouldn't eat anything else for days. Our waiter was very pleasant and prompt with some things, but not with others. The two people who brought our food did not know which of our meals was medium rare vs well done, so they guessed and got it wrong. It was awkward to switch partway through the meal, so neither of us got what we'd actually wanted. This was my first Cracker Barrel experience, but we were with some locals who indicated this was not the best one they have been to. I posted a picture to FaceBook and had a friend suggest I check some news stories. I quickly found stories throughout the chains of racism, sexism and political support of very conservative causes that infringe on basic human rights. So, their gift store got none of my money despite some cute selections and I will not be going back. This location is very close to a number of motels and food options. If you don't mind the politics and fairly heavy food, it's not a bad choice, but there are other options available." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg58375d4277019r607167666KhansMongolianGrillBurienWashington.html,Date of visit: August 2018,United States,Washington WA,Burien,unknown,Bad Customer Service Racism,"I love the food here.

I usually get one bowl and share it with my girlfriend witch is enough for both of us. Is not the first time we fill up the plate like many other customers who put as much as possible on a single bowl, I even had seen people taking mountains of food wich its fine because you can put as much as you can in a bowl but in this case, I believe base on racism the owner scolded me saying that I took too much food and he wont serve it in a plate and to end up the bad experience he told me if two people want to eat you have to pay for two plates no for one. He burned almost half of the noodles on the grill so we dont get all the noodles we got on our bowl. After me other customers got similar bowls but most of them were white people and Asians, I am Hispanic and I believe thats why he acted that way.

I told the hostess that we'd like a table for 2. I was told there was a 45 minute wait for a table. When I asked why, I told that the kitchen was behind and that we would have to wait 45 minutes for a table. So we left to find a different place to eat. While I was looking for a different restaurant on my cell phone, another couple went into the restaurant. Evidently there was seating for them, but not for us.

When I was told that I couldn't be served the first time due to an equipment failure, I innocently took it at face value.70 full. Sign in, and wait to be seated...15 minutes pass, without so much as an acknowledgement that we exist. Had the restaurant been busy, or even just large, I could understand. Had it been understaffed, again, I could understand. Instead, we were treated like we were invisible. There were about 15 customers, and at least 5 staff in the front of house. We didn't receive so much as a glance.I now understand how it felt to be black during segregation. They really need a ""No Whites Served Here"" sign. As a long time resident of Hawaii, I have experienced racism against Caucasians occasionally. Never as blatant as it was here, however. To act as if we don't even exist To refuse to seat us, with empty tables everywhere The Filipino family that came in after we had been ignored for 15 minutes was greeted warmly, and it was only then that I realized what was actually happening. I had assumed that most people in society at least attempt to hide their racism. And I've never experienced it from an entire business before, but there was no denying what happened.As we left, I made sure to thank the staff. Loudly. Repeatedly. From the front of the restaurant. Every one of the customers heard me, of that I'm sure. Not one staff member, even those within 10 feet of me, even turned their head to acknowledge my simple ""thank you!"".If you are Filipino, you may enjoy this restaurant. I will never know, nor will any of the visitors that I entertain.If you want to know what racism really feels like, if you don't understand the term ""white privilege"", I recommend this place. It is enlightening. A great reminder of the sickness that is racism.If you are just looking for a meal, there are places all over this island, Filipino, Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, that will gladly show you the respect that every human being deserves. I would suggest trying them.I normally avoid leaving bad reviews for a place that I only visit one time. I like to give the benefit of the doubt. The cook may have called in sick, equipment may have broken down, there are myriad reasons why a restaurant can have an off night.

Hours on the door stated they closed at 10...it was 9:58, so I thought I would see if I could get a quick to go order. Nowhere do it say last seating at ""x"" time or kitchen closes at ""x"" which leads me to believe you are fully open up and until the closing time. And given that they would have to wait at least the 20 minutes for those sitting down eating to finish before close they could have at least considered a to go order. The kicker was the racist/classist manager who assumed, that I as Black woman was looking for a handout.

When a young black male was seated at the counter next to my daughter and myself, he was left seated waiting for a menu for over 15 minutes while servers continued to walk past him and ignore him. This was unlike the prompt service that I received. When the young man then walked up to the cash register to directly request a receipt he was finally handed a menu. Thereafter he again sat unattended for another 15 minutes while all servers ignored him at the counter and never offered to take his order. This was again unlike the prompt service I received sitting right next to him at the counter. The young man then politely asked the manager whether all the servers went on break at the same time and she brusquely replied that everyone was busy and he would have to wait despite all the servers walking right past him at the counter and their attentive service to me and my daughter sitting right next to him. After receiving the clear message that his patronage was not welcome the young man left. So despite the good service my daughter and I received I left with a terrible experience at IHOP. Since then I searched the web and have found that there is a pattern of complaints of biased customer service. Clearly the IHOP employees and franchisees need more training on the laws of equal treatment.

The rooftop was recently renovated. There is a 30 cover charge that is not worth the price. Cmon this rooftop lacks the vibe found in Vegas or Miami and I have never paid a cover at those locations.The servers are very pleasant but lack the fundamental skills in, wellbeing a server. Too long to greet after being seated, too long to deliver drinks, too disorganized, and they cant be found when you are ready to close out. Now, lets move on to what led me to write this review. I will start with a quote from a comedian on SNL about Boston the most racist city Ive ever been to, this was not unfounded during my interaction with an employee of the Revere Rooftop. It began with a brash communication from an unidentified manno uniform, no name tagabout being in reserve seats although there was no sign and the hostess said the seating is first come/first serve when asked. This man then said we could continue to sit for a time. During our second encounter, he said that the party arrived and was harsher than before with unnecessary comments. When I asked if he worked for the hotel or if he was a promoter, just to have clarification, the man became aggressive in approach and tone by saying do you have a problem with how I am handling thingsWith that response, I did not want to escalate the situation so I decided it was best to remain quiet, close our tab and avoid communication with this individual. Unfortunately, he didnt stop thereThis man approached us four more times and in one instance pointed to my husband and said he lied to me about the hostess saying it was first come/first serve. The statement was unprofessional, unnecessary and lacked simple logicI mean really who would lie about something so trivial especially when we asked to close out after our second abrasive encounter with him. It was clear that this person felt comfortable being disrespectful to customers and felt comfortable being disrespectful to AfricanAmericans. Oh and I neglected to mention, there were two separate parties sitting in the other reserved seat, which would round out the three reserved spots that he mentioned to us. The other patrons were not addressed at all by this man.Despite Bostons negative reputation, I honestly did not expect to have such an experience at what should be an upscale hotel venue.

I asked for two menus but he mocked me this table is busy, move He said it in a really rude tone so I said Im sorry, I asked two waiters and they say it was fine I dont care, move, I need you to moveNow, I didnt have any problem waiting in line or anything, like I say the place is amazing, but the way he as asking and the tone he was using was just really rude and mean.I try to tell him again that it wasnt my intention to cause trouble but I got kinda nervous and I started to have trouble with my english and my accent, so I was trying to make a coherent phrase when he laughed.By this point I wasnt at the table anymore and as I tried to speak he kept stopping me and repeating that the table was occupied, that he had like 20 people waiting and I just couldnt get there and sit. Like I said, he also started to laugh as I struggled to explain and just had this mocking expression, as if he didnt understand me.My friend came and she asked if there was a problem, I told her what was going on and the guy went away. I basically spend the visit crying in the bathroom and then crying as I we waited the food to go, i dont remember who told me he was the manager or someone like that he wasnt a waiter, but then when he tried to talk to me again I called him out, I told him that I made a mistake and that he didnt have any right to treat me that way, but he just kept the mocking face.It really sucks that someone can give you such and awful experience and the fact that I still remember it crystal clear months after.Like I say, I love the place, the food is amazing and Ill definitely be back, i just hate the fact that they dont have a better costumer service.

This is the first review I've ever felt I needed to write but Clark's is quite deliberately responsible for one of the sadder moments I can remember in New York:I've come to Clark's most weeks for years, sometimes three times per week. Yesterday, I came in about 10:45, ordered a coffee and a bagel, waited for a friend. When he came a Hasidic guy, in traditional Jewish clothing he ordered a coffee. They brought the check without bringing his coffee, though we hadn't said we were leaving. It was under the 10 minimum something like 7. I left 13 and we asked again for the second coffee.It was about 12:30. The owner/manager comes back immediately enraged, no diplomacy, no attempt to speak to us as people, shouting ""you've been here since nine in the morning."" He ignored me every time I asked him why he would say that, so deliberately, so confidently, when he saw me come in just before 11. He tells us my friend needs to order more. I say that he keeps kosher, and that's all he can eat. The man says: ""Then this isn't the place for you.""He said: ""you are an embarrassment."" Because I left a 100 tip on a small bill Or because of our ethnicities mine far more ""passing"", my friend's far more obvious I should say: the place was 2/3 empty the entire time we were there, perhaps halffull at the max. This place is an embarrassment. A place that hides old fashioned racism under the more fashionable prejudice, that a person is only ""worth"" what they spend on a given day. Sure, they forgot how much I really have given them, how often I've eaten their stale toast and cardboard eggs just to be in ""blastfromthepast"" New York.

We went with a group of friends, all of whom were white I myself am middle eastern and we were so excited to experience this restaurant for our friend's birthday as we are sushi buffs. Our waitress Emma took all our orders, brought back drinks for everyone, but conveniently forgot my husband's ginger beer we didn't think much of it, figuring she was just busy or something. However, everyone at the table ordered their sushi, including us. We ordered the Love Boat for two, and our waitress wrote down the order in front of us. As the food for everyone else came out, she assured us that our food was on its way. After half an hour, I tried to say ""Excuse Me"" as she walked by, but I was ignored by her. Afterwards, we flagged her down and she said ""Oh you never ordered anything!"". Kind of ridiculous when we had been told our order was on its way and everyone at our table heard her say it. She asked us if we still wanted the order and we said yes. The sushi was ok, but not incredible and at first she wanted to put it into bowls instead of on the boat. We still tipped about 10, but it was terrible to be discriminated against in this manner due to me and my husband's skin tone when EVERYONE else in the restaurant had received their food except us. Absolutely heartbreaking to experience this in 21st century in a city as diverse as Atlanta." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg60898d8686644r485360990HFBurgerAtlantaGeorgia.html,Date of visit: May 2017,United States,Georgia GA,Atlanta,"Marietta, Georgia",I hate racism but felt that I didn't receive service being the only white person sitting at the burger bar!,"I came here one day during the week for lunch. There were only maybe 8 other people besides me in this place. It is worth noting that I was the only white person in this establishment. I watched everyone being helped, even checked on. Within 10 minutes I was never approached once. I had a menu in hand and was waiting to order off the menu. I had seen two different people working look at me but neither of them even bothered to approach me. I absolutely hate racism but was definitely discriminated against coming into this place.

WONDER WHY !!! We looked up this place on TripAdvisor , and headed to spend some quality time just my wife and I . Being Indians we are used to being looked down upon at numerous places in likes of Australia , England and the States . However Feeling the same in Bali was a little shocker . The Place : Excellent setting , great ambiance , and decor . However they don't have ample seating and every place is not airy . On Special nights it might just get a little cluttered . The Drinks : Regular beers or house liquor are fairly priced . However if you want a table you need to pick up a bottle which is 3 times the price elsewhere . RIPOFF. Nevertheless less the bartenders have a great attitude of not listening to you or serving what you want . Don't expect fancy cocktails . The Food : extremely undercooked or overcooked . Not too much of a food joint it is . The Evening : We walked into the fancy restaurant , much to our delight there was no cover charge and the lady at the front with the bouncers were very polite to let enter. The great ambiance and the wonderful setup looked as if we were surely in some spanish era. There wasn't much crowd , mostly groups and they were scattered everywhere . The DJ was playing Top40 . We were seated with a couple of beers for myself and a drink for my lady in a seating outside when a waiter/ server came and very rudely asked my wife and myself to leave the table for a group of 4 . This was quite the unexpected and since then everything feeling started going downhill . we walked to the bar counter and waited to order , the bartender looked at us a few times but didn't come to take our order ... i took an IDR50000 and placed it in the TIP box , making myself sure to be seen by the bartender , who zoom past the other customers and came to take my order . This surely shows the mentality of people and how they look at you . Its not just the skin but the thickness of the wallets that they look at .

This is not a onetime incident by any means.I went on Saturday with a few friends, a mixed group of foreigners and Indonesians. It was still early when we arrived, around 10pm, so there wasn't a line yet. However, security still looked us up and down, counted how many of us were foreigners 3 foreign, but only 2 with white skin, and 3 Indonesians then asked us if we were planning to buy a bottle. We said no, but that we were planning on drinking. We were allowed inside. 1 hour later 2 other friends of ours arrived. 1 Indonesian and 1 foreigner, however, they both are brownskinned. There was a line at this point so they waited and when they got to the front they were told they could not enter. First they were told it was because they were wearing sandals. Then they were told it was because they were not going to buy a bottle. Then they were asked where they were from and if they could speak English or Indonesian as if that matters. Two of us who were already inside the white foreigners went out to speak with security. We were told first it was about not buying a bottle, but we pointed out that we also did not buy a bottle and were allowed in. Also, surely not all of the people in line 100 were buying bottles, nor were they being asked. At this point my friends said they would just buy a bottle. Then the security's excuse was about the sandals again. I pointed out again, I was wearing sandals and almost every person in line was wearing sandals. Then we got silence from security and a 'sorry' head nod. After talking with 45 different security and complaining over and over that there was no valid reason for this they finally decided to let my friends in, but acted as if they were doing them a huge favor. It should be noted that we made a point to protest them in front of all the guests in line instead of quietly on the side like they wanted us to, and I suspect this is why they finally agreed, just for their image.Before and during this whole situation I saw multiple other Indonesian people getting the same treatment. Many were denied entry and told it was about buying bottles, their clothes, or given no reason at all. Meanwhile, every white foreigner in line was allowed in, no questions asked.

Music is not getting better, dj played more today's music than 90s hiphop or another old school playlist that I think makes this place even more attractive and unique in the beginning. The place is getting crowded with reckless drunken youngster and annoying bartenders that mocking my order, wtf.

Well the music is quite good and it's been a hot spot in Seminyak but the racism is too much in here. Indonesian and some Asian got problem to entering this place. They will prevent them to enter and making stupid excuse while the westerner could enter it freely. Yikes!! I hate colonialism in my country, it's long gone. I would like to call their action as racism which blend perfectly with colonialism as they are making business, making money, hire Indonesian to work with them but how come they treat us that way. This is the worst treat that me and my friends ever get from a night club.price for the drinks actually is ok and it's standard price in Seminyak but they serve it with plastic glass. and despite their racism, I had dinner 2 times in here, the service was not great at all.

The place itself is fab, the location, decor and vibe as long as its before 9pm. This is the key point. If you go during the day/early evening its a wonderful place, if you go later in the evening it's terrible!!!During the day, the staff are friendly and attentive, the food is good and the drinks great. If i was rating it before 9pm it would be 5 out of 5. If you go after 9pm its a 0 out of 5. La Favela turns from a magical venue into a sess pit of curruption, racism, hookers, dodgy security and useless staff. One night we witnessed a group of 5 mid 20 something Australia girls, who were sat at an unreserved table just chatting, forcebly and rudely asked to vacate the table so a slutty looking local girl with an entourage of hangers on could sit there because it was 'reserved'. After a few minutes of discussions the girls had to get up and leave. The security guard then put the reserved sign on our table, whilst we were sat there and after 15 minutes asked us to move as it was 'reserved'. i told him that he had put the sign there 15 mins earlier. He pretended to not understand what i was saying and sent another 'security' guy over to speak to me. i told him the same thing. He asked me to move to which i refused. he seemed annoyed but left. Anothe rissue on a night is that the staff are useless. they cannot get drink orders right and are very reluctant to want to give you any change. Its such a shame that the management allow this place to be such polar opposites depending on what time you visit.Definitely go here but go during the day, avoid the evening at all costs, unless you like that sort of thing!!" -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg469404d4717368r360538111LaFavelaBarYRestaurantSeminyakKutaDistrictBali.html,Date of visit: April 2016,Asia,Indonesia,Bali,"Jakarta, Indonesia",Racists,"Don't get me wrong, La Favela is a great place for going out in Bali, if you are white and can get in that is.

Me and my friends being next in line and white were then let straight in. A couple of days later we decided to go back to La Favela, only this time I brought an Indonesian friend of mine. As a result, none of us were let in, since we were with my Indonesian friend. Considering that the club is located in Indonesia, and that we're in 2016, I find this almost unbelievable.

Oh man, what a place, what a night! When we walked in around ten pm, the first thing we noticed was the decor. Amazing interiors, very rich lighting and very classy. The dinner tables were still on and had a great lounge setting. Come midnight, the entire place turned into a night club. Great music and the crowd was fantastic. My only complaint was that we had a table for 8 and the staff suddenly came up to us after two hours of us sitting on the table and ordering drinks, food etc., and told us that the table was reserved for some Italians. I find it hard that they have a table reserved at two am for a bunch of people. I also found this to be extremely racist. We spent more more than any one can imagine that night and the staff needs to be respectful enough to know that racism is a thing of the past.

Impressive! We decided to sit outside where there were a few ponds and a small way to walk through a small garden with nice palms and full green plants. Deciding where to sit is the hardest decision because every spot has his ups. We ordered ginger beer and lime juice for drinks. I was a bit disappointed cause the lime juice was just water with lime. No creamy juice from a blender. We ordered a wrap and a risotto. Both nice, well cooked. There could have been more spices on it, but that's a question of preference. The quality was good.After reading so many comments about racist attitudes from the staff I had a awkward feeling while I was sitting there. I think it is really bad for a restaurant/pub/ bar when there were guests who experienced things like that. Although the food was good, I would maybe not go there in the evening, I bet it looks good but especially outside is a party area for mosquitoes and I think it loses its secret charme when it is full of people trying to find a spot to eat and drink.

The waitress who was serving us was the most unpleasant woman I have ever had the chance to encounter. She was rude and impatient with our orders. For example, when we decided to add a soup instead of a drink which I suppose mixed up the usual order, but hey, you dont have to give me an attitude about it, she yelled at us and asked in the most condescending tone Youre supposed to order drinks. You messed up the entire food order. When we decided to settle the bill with a credit card, she decided without our permission to charge us in the currency of my country instead of in swiss francs. When I enquired about our rights to choose to pay in whichever currency, she told me the lamest excuse that the manager requires them to choose the foreign currency. Last time I checked, the customer should have a right to choose the currency. I have so far never been to a restaurant in which the waiters would choose the currency for us without asking. At this point, we have had enough with this horrible service and asked her why she treated us so poorly let me remind you, our family has been polite with this lady. As a foreigner, we are especially cautious and sensitive with the way we act. Her answer was , its because youre Asian. Enough said.

Prices are quire steep but the food was certainly good. The waitress almost threw a napkin at me placed my friend's main course plate way out of her table mat, as if she couldn't be bothered anymore and we had to do the rest.

The waitress there gave us an earful and started shouting in a very rude tone and ended up saying ""this is not India"" that tone was full disgust and I'm sure if anyone else from India had heard her speak the way she did, they would have taken torn the place down.

My friend while eating, bit the whole red chilli which was in his dish, it was very spicy, and to subside the spiciness in his mouth he took 2 sips from the bottle we were carrying. Seeing that, the lady serving us came running to our table and almost snatched the bottle of his hand and showed a poster pasted on the wall saying ""No outside drinks and food allowed"". On the contrary we said it was just the water and we missed seeing that written on the wall. But that doesn't mean you come and snatch the bottle of our hand. And to our surprise, this lady passed a derogatory and racist comment saying ""This is not India! You don't do this here!!"" Seriously lady You freaking just told us that this is not India I personally love Thailand but that doesn't mean you put down my country. To add to it, we had ordered 6 dishes for 6 people with drinks so not like we were just chilling and not ordering any food. I can understand there is no outside drinks policy but have some customer service skills about it and not be racist. She wasn't even friendly or apologetic about it. She was plain rude and antiIndian.

Upon arriving to the door, I watched as the security guards pondered excuses to deny my boyfriend and his friend entry. This notion made me weary but against my better judgement we all proceeded inside. We walked through a somewhat congested crowd and chose to stand near the back door on the dance floor. This area was positioned right below a VIP area. After about 5 minutes of being in this area my boyfriend and I felt something being dripped on us. We both looked up and my boyfriend caught the eye of a gentleman and his girlfriend hovering above us in the VIP section. The guy apologized and we left it at that, no hard feelings. A few moments later, his girlfriend, who was obviously intoxicated started to get hostile. She was yelling and pointing, and of course being in a loud nightclub I couldn't make out her words. My boyfriend made eye contact with her boyfriend again and said ""calm your girlfriend down"". His demeanor was firm, but not threatening or argumentative. At that moment his girlfriend threw her entire cup of alcohol in my face from above. I stood there in dismay, barely able to clear my burning eyes. Immediately after my friends and I were swarmed with security guards yelling and screaming in our faces. I was pleading with the security guards and asking them why they were handling the situation in that manner. I said ""please explain to me why you are throwing me out like this"". One guard yelled to me ""we don't want you in here"", another couldn't mutter a reason why. The guards and officers continued to yell, swarm me, and push me out the door. Mind you, I'm 5'2"" and 125 lbs. Politely asking me to leave would have been just fine. Of course, after being covered in alcohol I wanted to leave, but I just didn't understand why such force and dramatic antics were used. The people in VIP who were white, were not asked to leave or treated the way we were. Once outside, my boyfriend and I began questioning the antics and asked to speak with the owner. We spoke with several eye witnesses and cops who stated the establishment has a huge problem with race issues and deals with situations like this all the time. Nothing was resolved and I woke up this morning with bruises on my body....Utterly disappointing!" -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg50207d2218200r384200438BarleyHouseClevelandOhio.html,Date of visit: June 2016,United States,Ohio OH,Cleveland,"CLEVELAND, United States",One of the most racist places in Cleveland OH,"I've heard numerous times that Barley House was racist, but last night I experienced it first hand. I waited in the line and once I got to the front, I was told I was not allowed in because I had holes in my jeans. I explained to the security that I wanted to purchase bottle service and a man who identified himself as the owner told me the tables were sold out. I explained to him that I didn't necessarily need a table but really just a bottle of liquor to avoid going to the crowded bar. The Cavs just won the NBA Finals, it was packed He still declined to let me in. I stepped to the side and watched them deny every single black person that walked to the door. Literally every single person of color. The people were denied for whatever reason came to the mind of security at the moment. ""Your hat is too low,"" ""You shorts have too many pockets,"" etc ..... All of this aside, I would not go as far as to call them racist until I witnessed with my very own eyes a white girl with holes in her jeans be granted access. I stepped to the front and said to the owner, ""aside from race, what makes her different from me Her jeans have holes but she can come in"" he then waved the police over and had Officer Michael Ryan ask me to leave. I explained to the Officer that I was on public property and could stand on the sidewalk. After a bit of back and forth with the Officer and the owner, I decided that even if they changed their minds I did not want to spend my money in place with such a discriminatory ""dress code policy."" It's such a shame that in 2016 such things still happen. I urge everyone, regardless of race to avoid this place. The photo included shows what I was wearing when I was denied access.

She couldn't actually say it's because members of your party are black/mixed raced/Asian. It then changed to only guys in suits and girls in trousers, there was no clear reason as to why all of our group could not enter. Eventually thanks to one of the promoters the rest of our group was allowed entry despite being outside for 45 minutes. Upon entering the club I was shocked to find it had about 20 SMALL 'V.I.P' tables that could only sit five people crammed into the space provided. Looking around I could see why the door woman was selective and racist, as the only 'ethnic' minority in there were Brazilian people. Despite the fact that we had paid for a table we were treated like dirt in there and the service was appalling. I would not recommend this place to anyone that is of an ethnic minority as you will be made to feel as though you are lower than dirt if you are not Brazilian or white. London has so many good bars and is an amazing place to go out and this club completely lets it down 100. Members of my group who are white including myself were so unhappy with the blatant racism that they left after an hour.

That is not even a possibility because my friend and I looked flawless, dressed hot, wore heels and this woman did not even ask to see what was underneath our coats, she just sent us away.Daisy Payne also went on to say she was picked as a door bouncer because she is 'tall and blonde'. Now, I don't have to tell you there's a limit to races with blonde hair, you do that research for yourselves. I even saw people give money sometimes but I refuse to give money to a racist club to let me in after first rejected. They must pay them poorly to have that such stuck up attitudes.

Two in our party tried to order a large pasta to share that was not allowed. Then to order tap water we were told there was a charge of 2.50 Euro pretty ridiculous. But what really put the whole negative experience over the edge was when one of our group who happened to be of asian decent said they didn't want water or anything to drink, his response was, ""Where did you learn that from Asia"" I cannot believe how rude he was and the entire experience was offputting. His tone was snarky and made you feel like you were an annoying inconvenience being in the restaurant. The food was pretty mediocre as well. I ordered the seafood salad which was drowning in dressing and when I asked for butter or oil for my bread, the server said they would get some never brought anything to the table. The whole evening really put a damper on our Switzerland experience. Do not go to this restaurant; you will be sorely disappointed and deeply insulted in the process.

I first asked for a menu and he said with very rude attitude ""this is not china.. Take it slowly.. Gosh..you always do that in China.. Hurry Things"". At first I laughed..thought that he was joking, but he wasn't. He rolled his eyes like he did not like what I said. Secondly after we made an order of food.. We wanted to add and order drinks.. The servant wasn't any near us only him.. Then we raised our hand and ask him for citro a drink there with a word ""please"". He said ""I am the boss here.. I can't take your order. Do you always do that in china"" That's it. I believe he is a real racist, rude and horrible boss too. I will not come back to the resto anymore as this is the most terrible experience in my life.

Instinctively, I expected the waiter to apologise; HE DIDN'T. He scurried to take some tissues. I was thinking in my head, at least he had the decency to wipe it off. NO, didn't wipe anything off. HE JUST USED IT FOR THE BOTTLEOkay, fine so my Dad was already frustrated and he wanted to leave but we had already waited 30 minutes for our food. We decided to stay. When the second waiter came around with two plates One pasta, One risotto, he asked as any normal person would, who is the pasta for Before any of us could even answer, he just threw the plates down on the table. FINE, if you're having a bad day, I'll let you have your win. But no, the two tables beside us who were white and could speak french were treated like royalty. The waiters would wait and communicate with them, compliment etc. I'm not even asking for you to tell me I'm the most beautiful person in the world but at least acknowledge that our difference is only the tones of our skin. Continually, they would shun from our table, they would not accede to our simple requests eg. asking for condiments, asking for the bill When we received the bill, to our horror, they charged us for the water!! My dad signalled for one of the waiters to come over and he told him that he did not want to pay for 1/4 of the water that the previous waiter did not even replace/apologise for. The waiter did not apologise and waved his hand in front of my Dad's face saying , ""If you're unhappy about water, I give you new one, if you can't pay no one is gonna pay for you so you better pay."" He interrupted my Dad in his speech and came down with a filled bottle. My Dad paid and just responded to the waiter that is wasn't even about the water to which the waiter scoffed. So this is a summary NO APOLOGY NEW BOTTLE OF WATER W.o.w The entire time, I felt like I was being treated like some degenerative waste of the earth that I wasn't worthy of the same level of interaction as the deemed superiors which was utter nonsense. Yes, I'm asian. But it doesn't give them the right to treat me any differently.

Confused by this, asked why, the security said the manager had told them I needed to step outside. I was baffled by this and I asked the security if he had the right person and since he was talking to me he could take the measure of me, did I seem drunk or disorderly and he replied No, but the manger has told me and I have to do it The security said I just need to go outside for a bit then It would be ok to come back in, to which I replied Even though you can see Im not Drunk to which he relied I know but Ive been told At that point I and several of my party decided I would rather leave then have me be put on the Naughty Step when I hadnt done anything to warrant it.Previous to the incident with me, the manager had sent the security to escort another member of our company to get her stuff and leave with no explanation given. Its hard not to think the management wasnt expressing some kind of racial profiling or bias in who he was removing from the club when the drunk group of loud girls chanting at me and my partner to kiss, the guy aggressively punching the air or the guy who rolled up his t shirt to show off his nipples while dancing all seemed to escape the attention of the eagle eyed manager but yet seemed to be cherry picking the people present with ethnic backgrounds to find offence with, who his own staff at least in my case expressed didnt think warranted removal. Considering it was in the very heart of SoHo, the liberal and vibrant centre of London it is worrying that this could be happening.

Claims of ""racism"" against American tourists abound. However, the experience of myself and my friends couldn't have been more pleasant. We loved it so much, we went back three times during our stay! Tokyo can be a vast, cold city, but Bar Martha felt just like our local bar, ""Judy's Twin Pines"" in Rhinelander, Wisconsin... the only thing missing were the cheese curds! : The Budweiser was served ice cold in cans, just like back home! They gave us free bar mix that was crunchy and salty!... and the sliders were outstanding. I tried my friend's nachos and they were as good as the nachos I get at Chilis. My understanding is this place used to pride itself on being a little pretentious, playing only vinyl records and making sure people didn't talk or laugh too loudly. Perhaps there are new owners, as we were pleased to find they allowed patrons to take turns plugging in their iPhones to supply the music. There were two couples from Cleveland whose playlist included Bon Jovi and Donna Summer... but when ""Sweet Caroline"" came on, the entire bar joined in to sing the chorus, ""Bah, Bah, Bah!"" with gusto! On our last night, my friend Ruth brought her mom who had two glasses of Chardonnay and got a little tipsy. The bowtied bartender was so sweet. He made room for us at the bar by asking a few Japanese patrons to please stand so my friend's elderly mom could sit. He even made her some coffee and gave her a package of Oyster Crackers. We did notice a lot of Japanese people come in and leave, but the tiny place got crowded with a large tour group from Texas who arrived in an orange bus. In short, if you are tired of crazy food, raw fish and crowds of people speaking Japanese... and are looking for a place that feels like home, this is it!

Do not visit.","Why go to bar Martha when there are much better bars in Tokyo that also dont have racist and rude staff It was two friends and me. We had caught the cab over from nogizaka specifically to visit this place. I had heard the rumors about staff that will tell you to be quiet so I was prepared for that. However, I wasnt prepared for outright racism. Note that my friend and I are both half Japanese Im a Japanese citizen. We were speaking Japanese. For a place that builds its reputation for how quiet it is I was surprised to go in to find that it was definitely a normal sounding bar. So then when they made us wait at first in the corner, I felt we could just talk like normal human beings out on a Friday night. Straight away, one guy came over to tell us to shut up. We were not being loud or belligerent in anyway, simply having a conversation as other guests were. We ordered drinks. We never got them. Five minutes in and the guys came over once again and this time to tell us to leave the place. We were shocked. It turned racist. I pointed out that Im japanese, born in japan. As he opened the door to shoo us out he said, yes please leave Japan. I have never been treated so badly at a bar before we had even got our drinks!! The place itself is so average, so its just pretentious of them to act this way. Dont bother visiting this place. Theres a ton of other great bars in Tokyo. We went to Bar Trench afterwards to recover, and the staff were great to us. Absolute never again for Bar Martha. " -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg1066456d9963865r434736874BarMarthaShibuyaTokyoTokyoPrefectureKanto.html,Date of visit: November 2016,Asia,Japan,Kanto,unknown,Rudest staff I've ever encountered,"I don't generally like to go out of my way to give something a purely negative review. But I feel that my horrible experience at Bar Martha last night warrants one.I live in Tokyo and had heard about Martha from several people over the years, but only got around to checking it out earlier this year with some friends visiting from overseas. The first time I went I thought the staff were a bit pompous and rude. As above reviews point out, there is an absolutely NO photos policy, as well as a very strict standard for what constitutes being ""noisy"". My friends and I were literally just talking and at one point one of us laughed, I think, and it triggered a member of staff to tell us to quiet down. I brushed that off and decided, ""OK, that's just Bar Martha. Keep the noise down and enjoy the tunes."" That was merely a foreshadowing of the horrendous experience I had there last night when I took a local friend. She had never been and we were in the area so I proposed checking it out. My friend did laugh somewhat loudly at one point and they did the standard Martha thing and asked her to quiet down. I explained to her that they were strict about noise and she understood, though agreed that it was overkill. But that was nothing compared to what came next. For some reason I had the idea that customers could request songs or something along those lines. Curious about this, I casually approached the DJ booth to ask him what the system was for music. I asked in Japanese, which I speak pretty well though not fluently, and then followed up with a little English just to be sure I had clearly asked my question when he simply stared no, GLARED back at me. This is when things went into full meltdown mode. The DJ became irate, as if I had disrespected one of his deceased family members or something, and said in an extremely cross tone that ""This is Japan. You do NOT use English."" Etc. Then, when I tried talking things down he requested for staff to literally throw my friend and I out. The bar tenders uniformly GLARED at me and robotically said through plastic, passiveaggressive grins, ""Please go. JUST GO."" Wagging their heads up and down in affirmation. I tried asking several times, ""What did I do wrong Wait, what did I do wrong"", trying to diffuse the situation. But to no avail.My friend, a native Japanese speaker, also tried to ask what we did wrong and they were just downright hostile. They told us to leave in no uncertain terms, in front of a crowded bar. If I wasn't in utter shock I would have felt extremely embarrassed on top of disrespected. When we got outside, my friend tried to reason with one of the staff, who simply kept repeating, ""This is Japan."" etc. and giving no real clear idea of what we actually did ""wrong"". I've lived in Japan for almost eight years total. I don't normally like to complain about treatment of foreigners here because I realize I'm a guest in their country. And generally, the standard of service here is worldclass. But I'm sorry to say that the feeling I had was genuinely one of being treated in a completely racist manner. After we walked away, my friend was literally crying. This gives some indication of how extreme the treatment was. Hands down, it was the worst I've ever been treated by the staff of a bar or restaurant. If you are a diehard music lover and simply MUST go to Martha while in Tokyo, please consider yourself forewarned. There are lots of other great bars to listen to music in Tokyo. Please don't give this one your business unless you like being treated with thinly veiled contempt by racist, selfimportant staff who may literally tell you to shut up or even kick you out for doing nothing more than raising your voice a few decibels above a normal conversational level or God forbid, if you laugh." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg186525d10342498r567923442NaturalFoodKafeEdinburghScotland.html,Date of visit: March 2018,Europe,United Kingdom UK,Scotland,unknown,Aggressive and disgusting owner,"Popped into the cafe today and there was a barrage of abuse witnessed. The owner clearly has some issues mentally. Screaming and shouting at two young gentlemen, swearing at them. He then proceeded to to call one of them tubby and told him to F off for being English. He then proceeded to get off his chair and try and square upto the two gents. The food was terrible and the owner clearly doesnt have a clue what hes doing. Frankly he deserves to lose his business.

The set up means that if you're waiting for your washing, you wait in the Cafe area where you're not allowed to eat your own snacks and drink out of your water bottle despite probably paying much more than the cafeonly patrons. Finlay was friendly, but we were made to feel really uncomfortable and patronised by the older owner who has a very misguided, racist and condescending 'sense of humour', so we eventually left with our slightly damp clothes in hand.

After commenting on my partners hair and insultingly misjudging his age, he eventually took our order while commenting on every item. My partner has some difficulty hearing at times and the man spoke fast and did not appreciate being asked to repeat anything. He did not seem to like that we didnt find his jokes funny. He asked where we were from and commented on that then asked why we were in Edinburgh. When told that we were there for a gig, began putting down the people who went to gigs in the Queens Hall, commenting on their age, dress and style. He started to make racist and antiEnglish comments. Definitely not a place to go for a quiet or fast bite to eat. I finished my cup of tea a cup with teabag floating in it well before my food arrived.Now the food, I ordered a quiche which was probably the worse specimen of its kind that I have ever eaten! It was blasted in a microwave before it came to me so soggy pastry, too much cheese on top and bland strange textured content..My partner had a microwaved baked potato with a cholesterol intense pile of cheese melted into it He had tried to ask which fillings were available but the man seemed to want him to order cheese, only belatedly mentioning beans or tuna! He the started commenting on my partners choice of drink, announcing to everyone in the shop, that he must be watching his weight, as he had ordered diet Iran Bru!!Possibly the worse cafe in Edinburgh, definitely a bad decision to make!Racist, sexist, xenophobic chauvinist with a misguided sense of humour!

I was wearing an Indian suit, and just as I entered the store, the guy looks like Scottish from the counter asks me if I was dancing Bhangra a dance style from India. I smiled at that comment and then picked up few stuffs from the store and went to the counter and then he said that a lot of brown ladies come into the store. I smiled, said ok and while waiting to be served, he spoke to me in Punjabi, when I told him I don't know the language come on, there are more than 22 official languages in India, he put me to shame by saying that I should be knowing the language he spoke. I spoke to someone else waiting for their coffee and he commented something about my accent. I was cool all this while and waited to get out of the store as soon as possible, that's when the next one followed. He asked me not to marry an Indian Hindu guy and that they were all liars. I am already married to one and I smiled and told him that's it was too late and that I was married to one already. And finally when he said he gets to flirt with all the brown ladies coming into the store mention of colour again, I confronted him that I might have to report his behaviour being racist. He laughed about it and then read aloud my full name from my debit card, peeped when I was typing my PIN number and announced the start of the PIN number. Totally humiliated, shamed by the service! And finally, he decided to serve hot chocolate instead of coffee as I asked for cold coffee, managed to come up with something which was Terrible. There were lumps of chocolate powder here and there and tasted pathetic. He asked me to come again by the day so that I can see the owner dunno if he was the owner, and that I will know why the brown ladies keep coming the the store.

It is in Spanish and it basically translate to: Israelis that dont accept to live in peace with Palestinians are not allowed here.

It's extremely hard to have a favorite, but if pressed, I'd claim the Rueben...or the John Wayne...wait...the Bonanza Burger! My wife appreciates the home made soups!The spaghetti dinner special is great as is the home made lasagna but the steaks on Friday night truly shine. It's amazing what Jim can do with a sirloin steak. They are always perfectly trimmed and expertly cooked. This is the best sirloin steak you will ever have!As fine as the table fare is at the Hoagie Ranch that really isn't why we go there so often. We go because of the atmosphere created by Jim and Jan. The decor is a fascinating throw back to my childhood and beyond, peppered with collectibles and western paraphernalia. It's a warm, homelike ambiance. Jim and Jan are the Hoagie Ranch. Honestly, it angers me to read some of the reviews making false claims of racism or rudeness. I guess that's the nature of the Internet and the time in which we live. Jim and Jan are extremely nice people who truly care about their business, their customers and their extremely loyal staff.

So once again, we waited in the queue and finally made it to the door. A different guy this time gave us a long look and started speaking to us in German. I told him sorry man we don't speak German.

Last time was 5 years ago and service was soso even I went at nonpeak hours. The mussels there were really good so I decided to give it another try this time. I went at dinner rush hour this evening and the restaurant was obviously half empty so I was expecting to have at least soso service from the staffs.I have greeted, believed to be the manager politely but he's ignored us and kept looking around the restaurant, apparently he wasn't busy but just didn't want to serve us. Some French came in to the restaurant afterwards and he's served them a table immediately. So I waited for like few more minutes and they still didn't get back to us.After greeting him politely for one more time into his face ""excuse me, there's the two of us and we are coming for dinner"" he was kinda rude and just yelled at one of the waiters and asked him to serve us a table.Why did I mention they mainly just the manager were being racist, was that they squeezed us into the worst, smallest table in the restaurant. Believe it was a space just barely fits in 3 tables for a group of six. The restaurant was still half empty by that time and I didn't get why they didn't get us a better seat.I had only like 15cm of space to the next table and I had to squeeze inside. Later on the manager proactively asked the 4 French customers next to us to change to another table. I didn't realize it was a change on purpose until like 10 minutes later, a pair of French couples came in and the waitress appointed them to the table next to us. The manager yelled at the waitress immediately and asked the French change to another seat again.The waiter who served us was friendly and the food was good. We ordered one originals set meal and one more pot of Brussels, plus two large beers.But I couldn't tolerate the racist actions from the manager at all. Seriously I felt bad about the table changing act, he waited until the customers got seated and proactively asked them to move to another seat like we have virus with usAcknowledging both of us were Asian from Hong Kong, I wondered if I am really looking or acting that bad and normal to be that racist I was staying silent most of the time and just chatted very occasionally and I believed I had good table manner after all.

After reviewing the menu, we called a midaged waitress for ordering the meal. Since we did not quite understand her words with strong French accent so asked her politely, but she lost her patience immediately and gave us the attitude. What shocked us more is that we did not even finish the order but she just went away from our table, refusing to take our order. Then we had no choice but to ask other waiter for the order, and the waiter was also pretty passive in action. During our meal, we asked the same lady for some empty plates, she said okay but let us wait more than 5 minutes and never came back. I am not sure if the waiters treat us like this because we are Asians who cannot speak French. Honestly I think the food is quite nice and I really love the mussels, but the terrible service experience truly ruined my day. I had bad feelings like we are treated with racism here, very sad. :" -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg187147d718767r335103193RestaurantLeonDeBruxellesChampsElyseesParisIledeFrance.html,Date of visit: December 2015,Europe,France,IledeFrance,unknown,Atrocious service. Avoid at all costs,"My family and I decided to try this restaurant one evening. Service was shockingly poor. We had to wait 25 minutes to get seated despite lots of empty tables symptomatic of the lackadaisical and shoddy attitude of the staff. After being seated, waiters with nothing to do refused to take our orders. It took so much effort to call for a waiter who rudely told us that we minimally needed to order one main per person. Having tolerated enough poor service for the night, we walked out. The service here is ghastly. I will never return and never recommend this place to anyone. Further, the staff needs to undergo serious retraining and the French service sector a significant restructuring if there is any hope for the French economy.Also, there were slight racial undertones that I sincerely hope are misplaced beliefs.

They were looking forward to a great family outing taking their two toddlers there for pizza after a trip to Oatland Island. They arrived about 3pm on a slow Friday 3/5/13. Many empty tables, but some people there. They walked out. The reason is no one addressed them, and when they tried to seat themselves, they were told ""you can't sit there"". They moved to another area. Again, ""you can't sit there"". No one told them where to sit, or acted if they were welcome. They stood and waited, and waited. Again, no staff seemed interested in this family being there, so, they left disappointed. I personally am embarrased at the lack of customer service having recommended. Moreover, they felt as if it could be racial as they were the only black family there. For this, I believe the place needs to say otherwise and apologize, or gain a reputation of intolerance.

The Ecuadorian male took our order, chatted with us, gave us the WiFi password, and pointed out the games. He wanted us to enjoy our tea experience. My mother and I sat down to enjoy our overpriced tea drinks as we are tea lovers and wanted to sample their teas. Later the Danish owner came in a very foul mood. I asked for panela/sugar; she was instantly annoyed and unpleasant. I asked for a spoon and she seemed even more annoyed to have to service me even though I had already paid for the teas. As the cafe doors were still open, two groups of white/Europeans entered and she greeted them with smiles and stated the menu. She mentioned loudly that she was tired and the place was closed but she could make them items to go. As my mother and I got the hint and finished up our teas, the rude Danish owner came over and asked if we wanted something else because they were closed. I told her she was rude and asked why she was pleasant to white people who came after closing time. She ignored me. Upon leaving I told the Ecuadorian male he shouldn't have sold us tea if it was closing time. He pointed to the menu and said ""It says 8 to 8."" We went to Honey Coffee Tea afterwards. The staff was pleasant and when closing time gave the waiter put the ""closed"" sign up and told entering guest they were closed. They didn't rush nor rudely tell eating/drinking guests to leave.

Astonishingly, one of the women simply shrugged her shoulders and said ""what's the problem, it's like if you said all Italians have big noses"". My husband then stepped in and assured her that no, it was not like that at all and in any event, entirely irrelevant as I didn't say that he was Italian and therefore had a big nose, and would never say that because it's a completely stupid thing to say. It was only after a 5min exchange along these lines that the other woman interjected and apologised but by then I was walking out the door.Absolutely disgusting.

Our faces and the fluency of the languages did not seem to get the message across, who nodded his head and wandered off. Precisely 5 minutes later, my husband asked a different waiting staff if we could have a baby chair and sit inside. The gentleman did not even bother to respond and walked past despite looking at us. The previous waiter went past and failed to acknowledge our presence. Precisely after additional 5 minutes, my husband went to the bar and this time asked what we needed to do to get an answer from them Another staff member responded we are busy, you have to wait. Despite the number of attempts to politely ask for the high chair and the terrace only being slightly busy it was 3:30 pmand the inside being almost empty, the very very competent staff delivered service excellence in the reverse order by completely racially profiling us.

However, the Midtown Drinkery thoroughly repulsed me last night with its complete and blatant DISCRIMINATION! Prior to going to the Midtown Drinkery, we called to find out if guys could wear shorts. The answer was yes. When we arrived, the guys we were with had no problem getting in with shorts and flip flops. However, one of our friends had a friend come to meet him/us, and that friend was dressed nicely fashionable jeans, a nice button down shirt, very clean cut and a smart, successful young man to top it off. I asked why the friend was standing on the other side of the railing we were outside, and he said ""because they won't let me in...they said my jeans were too baggy."" After the initial, jawdropping shock, I proceeded to watch numerous people come into the bar wearing flipflops, baseball hats, tshirts, and the exact same type of jeans our friend was wearing if not more baggy. Anything less baggy, and our friend would have been wearing ""skinny"" jeans. Just as I have read in all the other reviews in here, the friend was ASIAN. Do we not live in one of the most diverse cities in the world Don't we have a thriving city filled with successful, educated individuals who should have the right to go out and be treated as equals Well, last night, this clearly was not the case. Not only did they turn the friend away, but our group of 6 walked out discarding drinks that were still full as we are not going to patronize a business that treats people like this. I confronted the door men/""bouncers"" whose shirts read ""Security"" and flatout told them they are racist and asked what was wrong with them, treating people like this in this day and age. When I confronted the caucasian man at the door in a suit possibly a manager who seemed to be the one making all of the decisions he refused to look me in the eye. He was clearly uncomfortable and had no words to respond to my accusation of them being racist. This place is losing business every night because of their behindthetimes ways. They WILL be exposed for this beyond just these Yelp reviews. Whatever you do whatever race or ethnicity you are DO NOT patronize this place or its other location on Washington, as they likely share the same backwards mentality.

Definitely not ""Aloha""...","I have never had to write such a strong negative review about a place.Just looking at the other reviews around TripAdvisor, you already have a pretty good picture of the obnoxious and arrogant venue that you can expect if you make the mistake of even considering this place for a night out.In my 26 years of living in the UAE, I have seen them all, from the ostentatious to the lowkey bar/clubs, but never have I seen such a fake, moneycrazed place.The front/door staff are racist, only let you in if you're willing to spend major , and are extremely rude. I went to Mahiki the 2nd day they opened, expecting a refreshing change from Barasti/Trader Vicks ie: Tropical cocktails without the salsa. It was all ""Please come in! Can I recommend you some cocktails"" I took a seat at a table with a friend and we had a few cocktails. A month later, with another friend, we were denied entry under the pretext that we needed a reservation, yet ample amounts of women dressed like highclass escorts were allowed in.Figuring that the place was getting popular and all ""Dubai'ed"" up, we decided to opt for a table the next time around: ""Can't beat 'em, join'em right! WRONG!""When we got there, we booked a table, spent over 4000 Dhs 1,100 on drinks, and if not for the company of friends that I was in, it would have been a terrible night.Their socalled treasure chest is just a fancy gimmick for watered down juice, barely got us tipsy, the cocktails were horribly sweet they could learn a lot from Trader Vicks, the music was terribly loud, the smoke was very dense, but the worst part of it, the atmosphere just sucked.You can smell the ""fake"" from a mile away, Mahiki pretends to be something it's definitely not. They preach ""Aloha"" and pacific slang, yet probably could not point out Polynesia on a world map. When I wrote a similar complaint on their Facebook page, they deleted my comment. They're so full of themselves they can't even accept criticism. Just wannabes trying to milk the rich residents of Dubai for as long as possible.Good news, I've been here long enough, it wouldn't surprise me to see them change management soon enough, and eventually, they will close down.People of Dubai, tourists, fellow Tripadvisers, do NOT waste your time and money in Mahiki.It's a great city for a night out, and you'd much rather spent it somewhere else!" -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg295424d2517169r154453996MahikiDubaiEmirateofDubai.html,Date of visit: March 2013,Middle East,United Arab Emirates,Emirate of Dubai,Dubai,"Obnoxious, Arrogant, Rude and Racist","The title, It all sums it up.

The poor waiter didn't have a clue so we asked for the manager who happened to be a Brit. Immediately without the curt greeting or even a hello, he started barking abusive words such as ""Cheap"""" cheesy women trying to get free bees by manipulating the establishment. Now in his home country that will be ground for a reprimand. You do not talk to ladies and your customers like that. He then went on saying that he had full rights to kick us out and he will do so. This is without us even sitting down and ordering our first drinks. His attitude/tone was full of racial haltered. So we asked for his supervisor and that guy was even ruder and aggressive to the point of being physical. We have travelled all over the world and have never ever experienced such abusive behavior. Some of us have the could easily afford to buy a few rounds for all present , some of us are from the media and the legal profession. So this is not the last these morons hear from us.

This is a venue that should get tripadvisor to introduce a new rating, zero out of five as a minimum instead of one. And the suggested description for this zero rating One is ""terrible"", zero is ""Mahiki"". Well done Folks..This is a venue which has door policy, just like most of the clubs in Dubai. Preference is given to couples and ladies. If this does not apply to you or your group, then you need to book a table. No matter how regular you are. So far so good, and I do not have any complaint.The main problem with this venue is doormen. How can such spot keep everything under their control No matter how many times you visit booking a table, they do not recognize you at the door. Same Questions: Reservation Name Here are two incidents: We arrived once two guys at around 11PM. This time, we did not have a booking. It was an unplanned visit after our plans to travel for a weekend did not work out. First thing that came to mind was Mahiki. We tried getting in, however we were not allowed even though we were regulars. The manager could not help and kept it up to the doormen. I was disappointed and did not want to come back or book it in the future. My friend had a neutral feeling, that they do this to anyone. My feeling After reading the reviews here, I know better what's going on, and I tend to agree, there is racism.. unfortunately.. too bad.. we thought of your club as first option, and you do this to us... while some other clubs in Dubai recognize you as a regular and treat you well from the second if not first visit. Under pressure from my friend , we decided to come back, since we had some visitors from abroad, this time as a group of five guys and one girl. We had a booking, however, doormen tried to make execuses not to let us in. I called the manager however, the useless statement were offered by her "" Entry is at the discretion of doormen"" and ""you might not be the proper mix"". But we have a booking , you did not tell us on phone No good answer from her side. Aloha!!Again, how can they keep everything with doormen If there is no booking, I understand.. you need couples and ladies, However, you cannot let doormen turn down people even when they book. That's ridiculous..Whether they are aware of the doormen's practices or not, this is something I cannot know for sure, let's be fair. However, my feeling is that they tend to be selective when they are overbooked, and to be nice when they are not full Of course assuming you have a booking.Now, about the inside. I won't write much. It's not worth visiting if they spoil you night at entrance. Food: Nothing special about it compared to the prices. Drinks: I tried several mixes and I did not enjoy them, for example , the long Island was too heavy to drink and the worst in had worldwide London, New york , Arizona , Las Vegas, Milan , etc.. . With the ridiculous prices you charge, you ought to teach your bartenders how to mix drinks much better.Shame on you Mahiki.

He'd invade my personal space and yell at me for that basic question, basically communicating that I should just compute that I'm not welcome. One time a bouncer allowed my female friend right in, while searching me he accused me of ""bringing along an escort"" just so I'd be allowed inside. An extremely insulting and degrading accusation, in my own country. When these issues are brought up, ones that Arabs exclusively experience, JJs Siyana Koycheva seems to always be more prepared to defend their bouncers than to listen to their Middle Eastern customers.

We inquired about the reason they were denied entrance but we were allowed to go in, they said that we can go in because we are a diverse group, we were also informed that it's their policy, as it's mentioned on a sign hanging on the wall....Mind you, the sign says cultural dress is not allowed and priority to mixed groups, those guys were not wearing any cultural clothes and yes, they weren't a mixed group, however; a group of men who looked different were allowed entrance without even speaking to the bouncer, so we were confused about why those men were singled out.JJ's, reading the reviews here and on TripAdvisor makes one believe that this wasn't an isolated incident, but a backwards and racially insensitive policy of admission.

Since I have been her I have made two local Bahraini friends. I enjoy pubs and had been to JJ's on other occaisions, so I suggested that we meet there for quiz night. I arrived earlier than my friends and waited at a table until I received a call from my friends saying that they were being denied entry. My friends, one of whom is arab and one of whom is Indian were not allowed in. When I asked why I had been permitted to enter, the boucer told my friends very very clearly, that ""english, americans"" are allowed, but ""arabs, indians, phillipinos need membership"". Needless to say, I paid for the drink I had ordered and left right away with my friends.The overt racism of the staff at JJs is referenced in a number of reviews on here and it is clear that nothing is being done to address it. I read another review in which a representative from JJ's replied stating that they have a clear dress code and that THAT was the reason his mate wearing a turban was not permitted. In my experience, there was no dress code mentioned and both of my friends were dressed in western attire. Presumably management condones the racism of the bouncers if it has persisted this long.I liked the atmosphere at JJs as it reminded me of the pubs at home, but such racism is unacceptable.

In short, if you are looking for authentic, traditional German cuisine, you can't do better than Mutter Hoppe's. I have read some posts by Asian visitors who claim the staff is prejudiced against them. Fortunately, I am white and, therefore, can't say with certainty that Asians are mistreated. I can, however, say, with absolute certainty, I never saw any of the staff being rude or disrespectful to anyone. To the contrary, they were extremely courteous and attentive to everyone. In addition, the comments by people alleging discrimination are highly questionable as they usually add claims accusing the restaurant of uncleanliness. Anyone, who has ever been to Germany, knows Germans are absolutely obsessed with cleanliness. The bathrooms in Germany rival operating rooms in their level of sterilization. Germans would never tolerate a dirty restaurant and I assure you Mutter Hoppe's is spotless.In the final analysis, I don't believe Mutter Hoppe's discriminates.

I immediately spit out and called the waiter for a solution. Surprisingly, not a single reaction and apologize from them but only promptly replacing my another ""half draught"" beer to me. Then I complained to their owner how they should deal with it, perhaps at least a oral ""sorry"" even works. Sadly, the owner I feel like rudely told us it is definitely not their fault and even asked me ""which Asian country are you come from You never met a fly going into your beer in your country"".

I was yelled at by the waitress for not speaking English to her in a German restaurant. For clarification purposes, I am an Asian girl but English is my first language. After we finished our food, the waiter who spoke little to no English cleared our plates and offered us the receipt. We promptly put the money on the table next to the receipt. For the next 15 min, we tried catching the attention of the waiter and 2 waitresses but they seemed busy. The older waitress noticed us gesturing to the receipt and money and walked off, saying ""eine moment"". The younger waitress walked by and I asked her ""can we pay"", to which she sarcastically rebutted ""OH YOU CAN SPEAK"" Obviously affronted, I told her she shouldn't be rude to paying customers who have been waiting for at least 15 min to pay. She then proceeded to give me a lecture on how I ought to have spoken to her in English, when no one in this restaurant has spoken to us in more than a few basic words of English. In fact, I gestured to the bill with a smile quite a number of times which has gotten me through 3.5 months of patronising restaurants in Europe. This is the first time in my entire life that I have been chided by a service staff on how I should have requested for the bill in English to her in a German restaurant. What kind of service is this After being ignored we get yelled at I didn't want to pursue the quarrel anymore and I actually told her that I would like to just settle the bill and head out. She kept muttering about ""speaking English"" while she returned me the change, and as we took our belongings she kept speaking to the waiter in German. So petty and unbecoming of a service staff. Unsure if she is racist or just really rude, because there are previous reviews indicating racism and rudeness. Other incidents: We wanted to sit at a table as a group of 3 girls but the staff told us we can only sit at the bar. We offered to sit at a table with one chair and a bench as the tables are rather wide and there was ample space at least a metre between us and our neighbours such that we would not disturb them. We were told off by the waiter who said curtly ""2 people only"". We proceeded to the counter seats at the bar and ordered a dish each and two beers. The beers were slammed on our table such that the foam dribbled onto our table. Without even an apology or napkins provided, the waitress continued filling up another glass of beer. She used her ungloved, unwashed hand to wipe away the froth from the opening of the glass mind you, that's where we put our lips to drink from the glass and served it to another customer. The only mildly positive thing about this restaurant is that the food is palatable. Prices are not fantastic Berlin has cheaper food elsewhere and definitely, better service staff exist in this city. Do yourself a favour and don't subject yourself to such atrocities.

I am a woman in her 30s of Oriental appearance and whilst waiting to be served, a group of 56 guys sat at the bar proceeded to say 'Ni hao' several times to me. Unfortunately a lot of people don't realise this but that is incredibly racist, ignorant and offensive. Disgusted by their behaviour I told them that they were being racist. They confirmed their lack of intelligence by questioning my statement. They probably also didn't even realise that their unsought for and unwanted attention directed at myself was harassment. I told them that they looked at the colour of my skin and ignorantly decided that I was Chinese rudely oblivious to the fact that I could be, for example, Thai, Japanese or Malay or English or French for that matter!, and their treatment of me with a sweeping generalisation was racist. I turned away to ask the bar lady for a drink and she insisted on knowing why I was upset, which I presumed was out of concern. I explained that the gentlemen a generous description had been racist. They then had the audacity to deny that any of them had said anything to me at all, including 'Ni hao' and I responded by telling them they should at least be man enough to admit what they said. Now, I understand that the bar can't be held responsible for the antisociable, disrespectful behaviour of their patrons. However, I couldn't believe it when the bar lady then proceeded to tell me that if I was going to be upset by that, then I should be the one to leave! In complete disbelief, I checked that I was hearing things correctly by restating that I'd been the one subjected to racist rhetoric and asking if she was suggesting that I should go, to which she responded affirmatively and then switched her attention to serve the person behind me!Even though I wasn't a victim to any aggressive or violent racist behaviour, that doesn't mean that how I was treated was acceptable, and condoning any level of that behaviour creates divisions and tensions in society. To be clear, I wouldn't have expected the pub to throw the group of men out because, to be fair, they weren't being abusive or violent, merely ignorant. But a decent human being would have told me to ignore them and then served me a drink. Instead she made me feel like the one in the wrong, the one making trouble. If that's the attitude of Connolly's staff, I would strongly recommend staying away from such a disgusting establishment that has no respect or care for people subjected to racist and antisocial behaviour." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg53919d4840211r387373633AlessiosSeafoodGrilleWarringtonPennsylvania.html,Date of visit: June 2016,United States,Pennsylvania PA,Bucks County,unknown,BROWN PEOPLE BEWARE the owner is RACIST,"We bought a Groupon for my parents anniversary.

Food was very average but other than that we were having a good night until towards the end we noticed a disagreement occurring by the bar, between a man and the staff. We were unsure what the disagreement was about but we heard the man say he was going to wait until the police turned up. One of the members of staff approached our table and informed us that they were refusing the man and his wife entry because they had been in before and not paid previously. We thought this was fair enough until we overheard another member of staff say to the man 'no you specifically have never been in and not paid'. It turns out the man and woman were travellers. The police arrived and the man explained that he was being discriminated against because he was a traveller. Whilst the police were talking to the man and a few members of staff another member of staff approached our table again. She explained that they were not going to serve them because they hadn't paid before as the other member of staff had done. My partner asked if she meant that couple specifically and she said yes. To which my partner questioned why the male member of staff had said he'd never done it before. Her response to this was 'well travellers are all the same anyway aren't they'. Clear discrimination. What she didn't know and what made her ignorant comment so redundant was that my partner is actually a traveller. In complete shock, he responded, 'I've sat in here all night, paid, acted respectfully am I the same'. She laughed in his face and said 'well you're not a traveller are you'. Very humiliating and unjust that my partner has had to go through this tonight. Needless to say the police did absolutely nothing, even after my partner explained and then several of my family members explained what had happened, as witnesses. It truly saddens me that we live in a society where this discriminative behaviour is deemed acceptable. I for one will definitely not be eating in this establishment again." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg186378d1629837r603558542BuffetFeverStokeonTrentStaffordshireEngland.html,Date of visit: August 2018,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,"StokeonTrent, United Kingdom",Racist staff. Horrible food.,"Other than the terrible food and hygiene, I must say I am shocked and appalled by Buffet Fevers staff. Ive never bothered to write a review before but I would like people to know what kind of people run this establishment. I was in there tonight with my partner and her family for a childs birthday party. A young man and wife came in and the staff met them at the door and refused them service as they were an ethnic minority and they did not trust them. The young man was clearly insulted by the situation and the discussion was heated for a brief moment. The man calmed and called the police. In the meantime one staff member said that this young man had been in there before many times and caused no issues. When the police arrived they all said that this man and his wife had been in there many times without paying and the police escorted them outside. Moments later the manageress Of this restaurant approached our table to discuss what had happened and stated that the real reason they wont let them in is because They are all the same and we dont like them. They then denied saying this despite the fact that our entire table witnessed it. Horrible food. Horrible place and horrible, RACIST staff and owners.

In the end I asked for his name, and he declined to give it, first he said he doesn't care if I am a customer or Not, and he doesn't want to give his name. When he found out that I was serious, he became scared to talk and just ignored the situation and said need to give his name out. What a manager!

My 5 star rating is for it for the pub aspect. As a restaurant I would give it less but I don't really eat there. But the burgers are presented nicely, a friend of mine likes the hand made pies, and Chicken Wing Monday limitless buffet is cheap and popular. I think the chips/fries are oven chips.This is a nice, busy yet relaxed, unpretentious pub in a central location. It has a very large array of familiar drinks to choose from apart from Guinness. Check out times for Happy Hours, sometimes a pint costs as little as 5.50 CHF a real bargain in Switzerland. It won't win any prizes for haute cuisine, but the food looks good.This is a big pub with lots of seating. If you see the seating is reserved just check out the time slot, it may well be free for several hours. The place can look a bit dimly lit in the evenings but it has a nice happy, chatty atmosphere with a nice mix of Swiss and nonSwiss. As a fairly regular visitor for football or an evening rendezvous spot, I have not seen any trouble or fights in the Nelson pub. The music can be loud for some people when there is a DJ on Thursday to Saturday late evenings which I don't like but you get used to it after a while. Staff are quite friendly, patient and efficient, speaking German and English. If you want to get quicker service go to the serving hatch area near the entrance. It is a good place to watch sport ask staff and they will usually try to show your match if they can. Door staff are erm ... door staff so don't expect them to be friendly. I would like to say that a couple of reviewers have said this place's door staff can be racist. The door staff are not white guys. I am a white guy and I have been given the excuse in the past that I can't come in and needed a membership. But these times I was on my own, possibly already had a couple of drinks and the place was already very full with more men than women, It is frustrating but you can just go somewhere else or text your mates to talk to the door staff. Simple. Maybe the staff are misunderstood, their English is not so good. They should just say, ""No, we are full.

One of the guards also held my arm tightly and pushed me away. After this I called inside and spoke to the Bar Manager who said that its not her responsibility to get me in and that it was the guards' job. Later on another indian guy was also denied an entry and the guards told him that he needs to be a member there. But on asking other people entrring they said they were not members there either.

The restaurant was more or less empty with perhaps 45 tables of customers. After we were seated and read the menu, I raised my hand to catch the attention of a young waiter walking by to order our food, but he pretended not to see us. I called out and he came. I said I wanted to order, then he went away and when he was seen again he was walking in another direction instead of taking our order. Then I called out to another older waiter who displayed dismissive and impatient attitude. He came over and said what's the problem can't you see I'm busy. We explained we had been waiting but no one appeared to want to take our order. The older waiter gave us another earful and said it's just 5 minutes and we've ruined his work. AT that moment we stood up and tried to leave. One other older waiter came and tried to stop us but the other impatient waiter still kept speaking rudely. We finally left. 5 minutes of waiting is acceptable in a busy restaurant but not when the restaurant is almost empty and the waiters were walking around. It is hard to believe it is not due to the fact that we are Asians because we saw the couple just seated before us having their order taken very quickly.

I agree the service was appalling and the lady who served us was very patronising. I think some of the comments about racism are true. If you are white/English I think you may get a better service. Also I noticed the restaurant are only responding to the good reviews on here.. wonder why! The only positive thing I can say is the vegetarian curry I had was fresh and full of nice spices. On the other side... the atmosphere was dead. Nothing there at all to promote a good restaurant vibe. Best word I can think of to describe this is 'akward' and 'uncomfortable'. The lady who served us was shocking. She was so patronising and rude. I've never experienced anything from a restaurant before. Everything we asked was a dig back! She poured us a Coke glass right in front of us from a 2lt bottle that you can get from a cash and carry or super market.. and then charge premium prices for a glass, from a bottle I know could be worth 12! The icing on the cake was when they mixed the vegetarian starters with meat. Whole point of ordering veggie food is to keep it separate from the meat. I'm a vegetarian and DO NOT eat meat at all, hence why ordering a veggie dish. I shouldn't have to explain this! Then the lady server had the nerve to say all you have to do is split the two and put another plate! After much debate she agreed to bring us a fresh plate of veggie food. What an unnecessary situation! They clearly did it as the meat dish was so small of having 2 pieces, to bulk it up to look more mixed with the vegetarian This lady server also kept arguing with us when we only wanted to order a couple dishes to share. After explaining we were not that hungry 5 times and wanted to share she just couldn't process it and kept arguing saying that's not enough. It's our choice what and how much we want to eat!The nann wasn't proper nann. Looked like bread. And the prices you pay are not of quality or quantity for what you would expect. After debates and arguments on each situation, we finally quickly ate and left. It was so awkward during the meal as we felt like we got told off and couldn't talk or say anything. We just quickly ate and left. There are better Indian restaurants around in Malta.

I wont say the food was bad it was ok but the behavior of the staff was pathetic. This restaurant is run by a Pakistani family, could see two ladies and a guy. Firstly, as soon as we entered and waited for some staff to direct us to a table, this lady with a grumpy face showed us the table and immediately took away the cotton napkins in front of us as we took our seats. Then, the guy came to take our order and when we asked to bring napkins, he gave us the tissue papers. There were two more European couples in the restaurant and they were provided the cotton napkins. Secondly, it took more than 45 minutes to get food on our table. Later, when we asked us to pack the remaning food on the table, she handed us the packet and left. Finally, the worst thing, we asked her the reason why we were not given the napkins while everyone else was. She said we dont give them to Indians or Pakistanis customers because they do not use fork/spoons and spoil our napkins with their dirty hands.

While neither my partner nor I speak fluent German, I understood enough that he was suggesting that we were unwelcome at your establishment and should instead be at Starbucks.

The host was not available so we sat down in the restaurant, looked at the menu and were ready to order. The host came to our table after about 10 or 15 minutes. I thought he was coming to take our order considering we were there for a while, instead we were asked to leave. We were told the restaurant was full and reserved. There were plenty of tables empty. How can it be full when we are already sat at the tableWere not asked to wait while they check if they could accommodate us or if there was any waiting time for tables to clear. The host was rude and his attitude leaves me to wonder whether we were kicked out simply because they didn't like the fact that a black person was in their restaurant and considering the other reviews I wouldn't be surprised in addition to the racist tone that was displayed during our visit. Also, my husband's uncle has been in there a few times with no problem but the moment he brought a black person he was asked to leave when there were plenty of empty tables with no reserved sign on any of them. My rating is solely on the service and treatment we received as we were asked to leave before we could order so I cannot rate the food. We ended up eating at Florentin House nearby, a much more welcoming establishment, while trying not to let that cloud our last night in Tel Aviv. Definitely wouldn't spend my money in Choco Lulu considering how we were treated." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg293984d7686324r541938156ChocoLuluTelAvivTelAvivDistrict.html,Date of visit: November 2017,Middle East,Israel,Tel Aviv District,"Unionville, Connecticut",Racist,"We did not eat here, therefore cannot rate the food.

There were many empty tables, none of which had the reserved sign on it perhaps he thought we were illiterate and blind Asians and when I asked about it, he said that every table will be full in five minutes. Of course, this was not true. We walked around to check out some other restaurants and came back to check the tables were still empty. We ended up just grabbing drinks and appetizers at Murphy's which had the reserved sign on some of their tables, but accommodated us so we could get a nonsmoking table inside and called it a night.

We were highly recommended by my other colleague to visit this restaurant but was extremely disappointed after our experience it ruined our whole time in Brussels. We all had the absolute WORST experience ever at the restaurant the food , the service everything was just awful and left distaste in our mouth. The food was mediocre at best with some truffles on top. But the worst thing is that the owner and chef of the restaurant, Luigi Circirello is condescending, arrogant and above all a racist. I am Canadian Chinese and English is my first language. I was with 4 other Americans, 3 of them Caucasian and one other Korean American. First as we sat down, the maitred was very snobby to us and arrogant maybe they thought we were young we are all in our early to mid 30s professionally dressed as we came right after work and will not spend a lot of money at their restaurant. Then later another short man in a grey suit came over to help us which I later found out is the chef and the owner of the restaurant Luigi Cicirello I should have known since his face is plastered all over the dining tables with his cards. When we started ordering the food, as my team was not that hungry and I have some dietary restrictions we did not order that much food each a main course but one starter to share. We wanted to share the starter but then the chef went on to say to me in a very condescending tone This is not Chinese cuisine, you cannot share a piece of seabass you will destroy my food!! The first time he said it to me, I let it go as I am Chinese Canadian. However he mentioned it multiple times that this is not Chinese cuisine in the most offensive, racist and condescending way as if I have never eaten any western cuisine in my life and I was some poor peasant never ate at a nice restaurant before!!!! I have travelled all over the world for business and pleasure and ate at many fine dining restaurants and never once have I had some make me feel like I do not belong at this restaurant because of my race and age. My colleagues who are Caucasian were appalled and wanted to leave the restaurant immediately because they said they cannot even enjoy this meal after this incident we all felt very uncomfortable and upset. However, I wanted to take the high road and told them its okay we wont cause a scene and we will eat quickly and after we leave I will tell him how offensive and racist he was. The food took forever to come and was extremely salty and was an extreme disappointment. However, the most appalling thing is when the racist owner Luigi Cicirello came to serve us our food, his actions were even more condescending not only to me but to all my colleagues. First he had to teach my one colleague how to eat his crab risotto which actually tasted like Chinese sticky race according to my coworker how ironic I didnt know he was serving Asian food at his restaurant , he picked up the fork and almost fed my colleague as if he was a 3 year old child who never ate risotto in his life. Secondly, Luigi Cicirello started singing a song to my other colleague as if he was making fun of her cause she was American and never had truffle before! Then lastly, when he came to me, the Chinese comments came up again, I ordered the black truffle ravioli and he said, you do not eat this like a Chinese dumpling implying that I have no idea how to eat a ravioli and only ever ate Chinese food in my life, he picked up my fork and knife and cut it up and said here this is how you eat it not like a Chinese dumpling. I was fuming mad that that point and could not hold back anymore, so I told him I am very offended that you keep on making these racist comments and that Im Canadian and I know how to eat my ravioli. He then half heartedly apologized. Throughout the meal he did not have the decency to come check on how we were doing because he can obviously tell we were upset and mad. He did send over some free desserts but the coward did not even have the courage to deliver the desserts himself. The maitre D finally came over to give us the check and he was only nice to us as I was paying. I do not understand how this can be a Michelin star restaurant as the food is not good at all and the restaurant owner is racist and condescending to his guests. The only nice staff in this restaurant was the girl server/hostess and the older man who served us water. I would highly never ever recommend this restaurant to anyone and my other colleague who recommended this restaurant to me felt terribly sorry and was appalled at my experience there. Ive never felt racism in my life until I came to this restaurant in Brussels.

If someone had approached me as I entered the restaurant none of what took place would have happened.I found a table big enough for all my family which included my children and grandchildren. After approx 5 mins of waiting at the table for the rest of my family I was approached why a waiter who informed me I couldn't seat there as the table was reserved. I replied that there was nothing on the table to say it was reserved and that I needed a big table, this was the only one that was clean and big enough. He said I'll get the manager who had no customer service what so ever. He told me again it was reserved and that I must move. I replied when you have cleaned a suitable table I will move. He then said he would call the police which I thought was totally over the top, I am a 56 year old grandmother and no threat to him, in the end he said forget it I am not serving you. At this point the party arrived who the table was reserved for, they were all coloured young and loud mouthed, I am not a racist person in any way I must add my 2 grandchildren are mixed race. By this time all of the restaurant could see what was happening, my daughter arrived who could see I was distressed and said to Simon the manager I feel this situation has racist undertones and to my shock he said yes you are right, with that we left. Later that same day my son in law called the restaurant to ask if he could reserve a table for the same day and was told they do not reserve tables at weekends, kind of contradicts what Sinon had said. All in all a very bad atmosphere in this restaurant and if all Nandos are the same I will not be visiting again.The following day which was the Monday I called Nandos customer services and explained what had happened the following day I called for an update, it is now Friday and have heard nothing.

If you have to chase someone screaming I'm not racist before they have even called you a racist, you're probably a racist. Also, the food sucks, but the racism is a bigger deal, ya knowStrike 1 Our party of 6 arrived and asked for a table and the manager goes ""well, your little friends points to table of black patrons over there moved tables around and that's strictly against policy"" blahblah and ranted about another group moving tables. We then were like ""well, can we have a booth"" and he goes ""I don't know if you all can fit in there"" and we were like ""ummm ok"" and then he goes ""well, I do have a high top for 6 inside"". Sir, then why wouldn't you start with this Why would you start ranting about another black party to us when we are just asking for a tableStrike 2 Our food had not yet arrived yet and I saw that 2 of my friends had actually just arrived and were sitting by themselves. I walked over and asked if they would like to join us as we had 2 extra spots at our table and the manager sprints over before I even have the chance to finish asking them and starts immediately SCREAMING IN OUR FACES. He starts by saying that ""your little friends have been fg my servers over all day"". Again with the ""your little friends phrase"". We all know that he meant ""the other black people in my establishment"". He continued by saying ""you two sit right back down you aren't going anywhere"". I was in shock. If groups are paying and tipping, then how is this ""fg your servers over"" My friends explained that they hadn't even been waited on yet and he responded with ""I don't care"". I retreated back to my table in shock. I asked our server if I could speak to a manager and then I was like ""or was your manager the one who just berated me"". She explained that the reason that he was upset was because other black people had been adding onto tables earlier in the day which messes up their system because they are on a rotational system. I told her that that policy while annoying is understandable and said that my qualm was not with the policy, but how I was SCREAMED AT as if I was a dog who just peed on the floor. She never proceeds to bang on the table and scream ""I CAN'T TAKE THIS ST"" and storms off. I was very confused as none of us raised our voices at her and we were all very calm. Strike 3 The manager comes storming out of the kitchen and screams ""WHY THE FCK ARE YOU YELLING AT MY SERVERS"". First of all, no one was even close to yelling, we were being nice to her. He then screams ""WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME I'M HERE"". Well, I had wanted to speak to a manager to complain about his behavior, but since he was the manager, that plan was off the table. I responded with ""I don't know"" since I was caught off guard with him being the manager and then he responded with ""well, let me know what you want when you can actually think of something""condescending am I right. I then asked why he yelled at me like he did and he again repeated his sentiment that ""your little friends have been screwing my servers over all day"" and I asked ""why do you think that we even know them"" and he responded with ""let's be real here. those were your friends, I saw you waving to them"". Sir, what Are you imagining black people waving to each other at your establishment That is bizarre. I then stated ""not all black people know each other, you know"" and he goes ""OH MY GOD I AM NOT A RACIST"". No one said that you were, but we sure as hell were all thinking it. If you have to scream ""OH MY GOD I AM NOT A RACIST"" when someone calls you out on racist behavior, you might actually be a racist. At this point, the entire restaurant was watching this man embarrass both himself and the establishment. He then stormed away and our subpar food came outStrike 4 As we were suffering with our nasty food, our waitress then stands by the soda machine bad mouthing our table. She honestly had no reason to bad mouth us as we were nothing but nice. I was very nice because she seemed very emotionally fragile so I made sure to keep a nice tone with her. Maybe that's just the culture Strike 5 As we peacefully left, the waitress and manager chased us out while screaming ""WE'RE NOT RACIST! BYE!"" while making obscure gestures. The manager pretending like he was throwing money on us like we were strippers.As I was boarding the plane, a white woman came up to me and gave me a hug and went ""no one should ever be spoken to like he spoke to you. I'll give him an awful google review for you"".

My fiance and I walked up to the bar on a notsobusy Saturday night, and my fiance was racially profiled within the first minute of speaking to the bartender. He is a HonduranAmerican person of color, and the bartender, who might also be the general manager, is Caucasian. He is also from New Orleans, born and raised, and so am I I'm VietnameseAmerican, not that it should matter in 2018. We'd never been to this place before and only went there to meet friends from New York who had dinner reservations there. We stood at the bar and noticed a tray of shots behind the bar that honestly look like they'd been sitting there all night. When the bartender finally gets to us, we jokingly say ""We'll take that whole tray for 40."" He immediately responds with ""This isn't Mexico, you can't haggle prices here."" I'm not sure what world he lives in, but it is a racially sensitive time for any person of color. For someone to work on Bourbon St. and come across all walks of life on a daily basis, you'd think the bartender would pick a better choice of words, especially considering the large Latin community in this city, and especially considering he is a WHITE man speaking to a BROWN man. Naturally, my fiance immediately responded with ""I'm not Mexican, don't come at me with that sht."" The bartender starts to tauntily wave bye to us as he walks away, never allowing us to order a drink. Once outside, security asks us what happened, we tell them their bartender is racist, and without hesitation another Saints and Sinners employee says ""He is racist! We had to kick out 6 people last week because they wanted to fight him for being racist."" Ummm... and he still works there why And this is their general manager! The moment we told our friends, they rallied to leave immediately with us. Another manager tried to remedy it by inviting the group to go upstairs, away from the racist bartender. I think they scrambled so quickly to do this because my friends from New York, a wealthy group of 12, had already spent a pretty penny there earlier for dinner and VIP passes. Needless to say, we will never be returning and will never recommend this place to anyone. I shouldn't have to deal with racism in my own city in front of my tourist friends.

This place is managed and run by complete and utter racists. My wife who is black was with her friend who is white for a girls night last night and was told by the security guard or whoever is at the door that they weren't taking anymore black people. WTF Are we still in the 1960's I understand not wanting the thug types to be in your establishment but this is not the case at all. My wife is very presentable and classy and the fact that she was with her friend that is white makes me question this even more. Its not like she was in a group of all black people, just the two of them. Not that a group of black people should be a problem in the first place. I rated this establishment all 0's because you at least have to be allowed in to even determine how the food, decor, service, and cost was. This is the kind of crap that makes black people hate white people. I have many good friends that are white but it doesn't matter what year it is, black people will always be stereotyped as being ghetto, ignorant, and problem causers. So blacks, if you are even considering going to this place, don't because you will be turned away. I'm sure if they could post a sign saying ""No Coloreds Allowed"" they would post it with pride. If black earned money isn't good enough for these people, go spend your money elsewhere. For all the white people out there that know and have good black friends, don't go to this place out of respect for them.

For starters we ordered coffee, to warm ourselves from the chill, and planned to have dinner a bit later. The waitress who took the order, wasn't pleased at that. We asked her to leave one menu, so that we could decide on our dinner order. I was browsing through the menu and was pleasantly surprised to find the menu translated into English. We were served our coffee. The coffee was cold! Meanwhile, one in our group popped a candy into her mouth, and offered the others, while we were deciding on our order. This waitress rushed towards us and rudely said to stow the candy away. We readily obliged and put the candy back into the hand bag. We had barely begun to drink the coffee, when this waitress returned and gave us the bill, not bothering to ask us if we were ready with our dinner order. I was shocked at her behaviour. To add to this, she stood a short distance away and gave me the worst racist look, that I'd ever encountered. We hadn't finished our coffee, when she came back to our table and asked us, whether we are ready to settle the bill. I was absolutely aghast at this. We decided enough was enough, and not to have dinner.

I could see her pondering on what was written on the paper, since it was in English. She collected the folder with bill, money and the paper napkin. She then showed the writing on the napkin to another waitress. I could see from their expressions that they couldn't read English. On second thoughts, I feel I should have written it in Russian too!

So we decided to give it a try on a pleasant Saturday afternoon. We landed there for a buffet lunch which is quite cheaply priced at EUR 7.90. It is just a couple of blocks away from our place and we reached there at 14:00hrs. Though the buffet timing is till 14:30, still the moment we stepped in the waiter told us that the counter will close sharp at 14:30. I told him we still have time, he looked at his watch and then let us in. It seemed that he was really displeased to have us as his customer. The restaurant was deserted, there was only a guy eating his meal and this very rude waiter. We started serving ourselves and I took a bowl to take some raita, and the waiter said ""don't use these bowls, since they are for soup, you can take that on your plate"". I apologized since I knew he was trying our patience from the very beginning. The bread was served at the table and on asking for another serving the waiter said ""with buffet we serve only 1 bread per person, if you want more you will have to order"". By then, my husband had already taken too much of his bad attitude and therefore he just asked me to quickly finish my lunch, so that we could leave. At the billing counter the waiter said that the swipe machine was not working and that we pay by cash. My husband asked him to try once and it worked obviously. Well, I guess the waiter was extraordinarily behaving badly so we never return. Congratulations! We will never return. Also, my kind advice to the owner is that if you don't want Indians to eat at your restaurant, why don't you just write it on the board outside ""Indians not allowed"".

When they realised the order was for me, they said something in Arabic and took my food back before returning it a minute later turned out when I got home there was less food than last time when I ordered the same thing... but probably more spit, who knowsAll in all, they should have a sign out the front saying white people aren't welcome, because it certainly felt that way.

Even when the restaurant isn't even all that busy. Plates are slammed down on the tables, menus thrown down with such force that you're physically startled by the noise. Well in the case of our last visit, we weren't even given menus, we were unable to flag staff down and in the end had to line up at the front desk to then say ""Hi we've been waiting 10 minutes for menus"".This was a recurring theme. Same event for Table water ""Hi, we've asked your waiters for another water 4 times already"", same event for serviettes, cutlery, cups and tea. Also when you do finally get service at the front desk its usually very assertive and aggressive, no ""can i help you"" more""NEXT"" and ""WHAT"". I was also not very fond of when I was next in line and then the woman at the desk looked beyond me.. to serve the Lebanese people behind me. If I didn't have my entire family as witness noone would have believed me.Ive often wondered whether it is a racism thing. Ive come to Jamin1 5 times now the food is too good and every time have been more and more convinced that the aggression in service must come down to that I'm Caucasian in appearance only, I'm actually European.As I said earlier the food is terrific, albeit a little pricey. HoweverDon't get a banquet. Just don't. Basically, how much food comes out is at the discretion of the kitchen staff, the amount we got with 4 people on one visit was exactly the same given to 7 of us on our next visit, except we paid 75 extra. The banquet states that every individual person should get one of everything, but this isn't the case.Overall, I probably would have a 6th visit in future.

Not only was she completely rude and disrespectful, but she lacked any professionalism what so ever. As a restaurant, there should be a certain level of customer service and hospitality. My son had brought in a water bottle in from the car, and she came over and yelled at us, as if we had intentionally tried to not pay for drinks while picking up our pizza order. She made racist comments, ""That's not how we do it here in America, there are laws, you can't do that,"" I am an American born Chinese, and married a Caucasian I assure you that my family was born and raised in America, and and never have we been so rudely insulted in a public restaurant.

I think it is disgusting how some people can throw around such derogatory terms like ""racist"" without any evidence. I truly wonder if those looking to be offended at every turn truly realize that when they see someone that is not their own skin tone and assume that they are racist because they had an allegedly poor experience that makes THEM the racist... Second, Vetro is owned by Italians. I think people would do better to learn American history and recognize how Italians were oppressed when they came to this country as well. One of the largest public lynchings in American history was of Italian Americans. Yet, they're going to be prejudice of Indian people or create a business that is ""racist"" Use your head. Third, I have been to Vetro probably close to 60 times. There is always a very diverse group of people at the restaurant and just the other day we joined tables with a fabulous black family that were regulars and had children around the same age as ours. We had a BALL. Amazing how fun people can have when they aren't looking for racism everywhere....Fourth, I have had or been to birthday parties here, baby showers here, breakfast with Santa here.. The list goes on. The staff is always super professional and food never disappoints. Ever. If I was ever in a poor sitting area or asked for anything, they always willingly complied. Prices aren't cheap but they aren't exactly hefty either yet the portions are fair and there's always some for leftovers the next day! Anyway, I figured I would give my two cents since I love this place and I cannot stand when others are so quick to judge. I don't think they realize how their words can have a huge effect on someone's business and livelihood. People would do better to think more rationally before jumping online with wild accusations and insults. The world would be a much better and less ""racist"" place." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg47927d1986917r428890265VetrobyRussosontheBayHowardBeachQueensNewYork.html,Date of visit: May 2016,United States,New York NY,Queens,"Queens, New York","Overpriced, Racist, Had a Very Uncomfortable Experience",My fianc took me to Vetro by Russo's on the Bay for Mother's Day. It is very nice inside however the service was far from great and we were both left feeling very uncomfortable. We were seated by the far corner of the wall by the kitchen so every time a waiter passed they would bump me because my back was facing the doorway. Our waiter didn't seem very interested in serving us and had the audacity to circle a handwritten 22 tip amount on our bill!!! We felt like outcasts and had the feeling that it was a very prejudice place as we are both of Indian decent. The price for the food was ridiculous compared to the very small amount of food served. We both don't eat a lot but believe me the amount of food served wouldn't fill a 5 year old child. The food was not cooked properly and tasted very bland. For a very small portion of food and two glasses of cheap wine the bill came up to almost 300.

The racial appropriation and commodification of asian culture is unbelievable for todays society. The food is mediocre at best. Maybe in the early 2000s this was an acceptable restaurant, but its 2018!The place is an embarrassment for Paris. The staff is overchallenged which is not their fault. They have all tried their best to placate the disgruntled customers however its really down to the establishments over ambitious admittance of guests. Weve waited for half an hour to get our table and then the nightmare unfolded. The restaurant is so understaffed that it took 30 minutes for bread to be even brought to the table. And after waiting for an hour we sampled our starter, the Kong Plate it was in fact just a pair of spring rolls, low quality negiri and a sad ceviche. At this point McDonalds sounded like heaven compared to this torturous anticipation for more mediocrity. McD least it wouldve been hot and quick. We decided to cut our losses and actually order McDonalds XD. We canceled our main courses and asked for the bill. It took 10 minutes to get the waiters attention and then another 10 for the bill to arrive. Followed by another 5 minutes just for the card machine. Im actually impressed at how understaffed the restaurant is. The efforts of the 510 waiters serving two floors of dinner guests is commendable but the management needs an complete overhaul. Who in their right mind would allow this to happen And the concept of the restaurant is impossibly distasteful. Also they need to take down that ceiling fresco. STAT.

The food came and had no taste at all except for red chillis. When we asked to make it better the waiter said that it wasn't their fault since we asked for 4/5 spicy on a scale of 5 which was his own suggestion. he took it back after much arguing and brought it back after adding some water in Daal and gravy in Aloo Gobhi which was otherwise dry.We however, paid and went back.While, we had a bad experience, my husband wanted to get some Indian chicken for himself so we went back the next day again. On seeing us at 6:30 PM, the waiter said he had no table available for today again when all the tables were full. he then said, its only take away.

I visited with 3 other Indian friends. When we reached there, the restaurant was maybe half occupied in capacity. We asked for a table and they said all tables were reserved. Fair enough.Since we really wanted Indian food, we placed a take away order. As the person taking the order realised that the bill was going far north of 450500HRK 6070 he said to us, ""Since you have a big order, I give you table inside"" The ""inside"" looked like the back of a dingy storehouse with a sheet for a curtain. Look at the pictures. Now, the food. The dal makhani was not creamy, it was spicy. The mutton rogan josh tasted only of tomatoes and had 4 tiny pieces of lamb. For a dish that expensive, they ought to at least give a couple of more pieces. The chicken biryani has brilliant reviews so we decided to try it. Again, over cooked chicken in red chilli paste. No aromatic spices, no yogurt raita along with it. Plain disappointing.Total bill was a little over 80 and two of my friends had an upset stomach the next day.

As soon as we walked in and the owner saw us, a family of Chinese and when I asked if we could be seated to eat in, he immediately said in French very rudely that everyone must eat. We have 2 children so I wanted to confirm whether the kids would each have to order and he said yes. He says if you want to take out you can order less but if you want to sit down everyone has to order. The food around champs lyses is not cheap so for such an expensive crepe, and we all had to order one was a little unreasonable. If he was nice explaining this rule then thats fine but he was extremely rude. We decided to leave and not eat there.

Afterward he came and told us in a very arrogant way that they were fully booked, although it was quite empty and late for dinner time! We were very confused, but later learned that he didn't let us in because I was asian. Also, when we passed by the restaurant again after eating elsewhere to return to the hotel, we saw it was still quite empty, which confirmed that the Osteria Della Corte had actually lied to us about being fully booked and just didn't let me in because they were racists.

I was passing by with a friend and thought of giving it a try now. We got seated in a quite corner all front side of the restaurant was seated with a few tables and looked lively, no asians there though We found it to be weird for us to be seated separately and in a corner but were in a good mood and didn't bother. After starters we had to wait a good while for someone to notice us and take order for the mains. One waiter came forward to change our plates but then the waiter who sat us down called from behind and asked the waiter in Bangladeshi not to clear our dirty plates. This guy was just about to clear our plates and got called of. We found it weird again and gave him the benefit of doubt and didn't say anything. When our mains arrived, it was to be given with a portion of salad. The waiter bringing us the main was arriving at the table and had salad in his hand as well I could clearly see from the mirror in front of me but then gets called in Bangladeshi mention salad something..... and he then turns back and leaves the salad at a desk and brings out mean without the salad. We could very clearly feel the racist behaviour by the waiter who sat us down and was consistently displaying to us his lack of motivation to serve us. That was it, I had to go and speak to the manager. The manager understood and apologised for his behaviour, to which I asked the manager that it wasn't the manger behaving in a disrespectful and racist manner, it was the waiter looked like the head waiter there to which the manager asked the waiter to apologise but to my surprise he just disgracefully walked away without saying anything. There was clear negative attitude in his behaviour. I am surprised how a Bangladeshi waiter can be racist to an Indian Nepalese origin customer! It was a shame to see this behaviour from them. I have come to a conclusion that they believe English customers would leave them good tips and hence their difference in attitude towards different customers. I dine out often and always appreciate the service, even if it's not up to mark because it's busy. But it's the first time I experienced such disgusting racist behaviour in a restaurant and will surely not go there again. The food was good. The ambience was good. The managers effort was good.

I could see by the expression on her face she was going to say no to us when a lady in chefs clothing stepped out from the kitchen and smiled at us and said of course. She then began to assemble tables together to accommodate our group and was clearly put out by this. I then realised that 2 of our children were asleep in buggies so we didnt actually need the final table that she was manoeuvring into position so I thought I better tell her. Before I could finish the first word of the sentence, she interrupted me and told me she didnt understand me.We were then treated to an hour and a half of food and drink being thrown at us literally in some cases, walking off as we were speaking to her, tutting and generally making us feel very uncomfortable. We had to ask for everything at least twice. In the defence of the restaurant, what came out of the kitchen was decent local food but this was completely overshadowed by the waitresss behaviour.The restaurant filled up during the time we were there and none of the other diners received this treatment but got similes and attentive service. As we were the only nonfrench English group in the restaurant, I can only assume that this was because she didnt like English people. Just to qualify this, I have had many instances of bad service abroad but none have lead me to this conclusion. It just amazes me that this person is employed by them, as the lady in the kitchen who must have been more senior to her witnessed a lot of her quite spectacular performance.Reading the other reviews I can see that I am not the only English person to complain about this waitress so in summary, if you are English and want to be made to feel really uncomfortable by a complete racist then Les Aviateurs is for you. Otherwise I would suggest visiting any of the other restaurants in the town, all of which I found very good." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg294265d951610r385308800HighlanderBarSingapore.html,Date of visit: June 2016,Asia,Singapore,Singapore,"Singapore, Singapore",Most racist bar in Singapore,I visited with a Friend from London both Asian and we were asked to pay 50 for 2 beers /person.

It is like you feel so relaxed post a long day or the place you want to let loose if you on a vacation, HL is the place to be. There were times when I used to be traveling alone and coming here to HL was like coming back and meeting friends. The bar crew, the tech crew, the security and especially the managers ..... all are very welcoming! They take efforts to talk to the customers be it a regular or otherwise. I have also observed that they make it a point to talk and engage with tourists as SG thrives on a large quantum of tourism. Hence some remarks by some visitors of they HL being racist I am an Indian is what I would not agree to. In totality. The staff goes to the extent of remembering your name and your preference for drinks. I would say one should and should not go by these remarks of racism and dress code as club rules apply everywhere! A lot of the regular ones are no the Caucasians. I have asked all my friends visiting SG to go to HL and all who have visited, have comeback with a great and an amazing experience. So i would say, get it in your itinerary for the evenings to go to HL! Enjoy the music, the band performance and have a good time! I am looking forward to it again ..... end April, 2016!

We had 3 hours to explore the island and after asking around the locals, Pantelis seemed to be the right choice for lunch.It all started when we sat down and the already illtempered waiter asked us where were from. We answered Israel and he looked at us with a smile that seemed as though he was underestimating us, but we decided to ignore it. We ordered several starters, my other friends ordered shrimp and one of my friends and myself decided to order a 1kg sea bass to share. Not to mention the horrible service and zero smiles we received from the waiters, neither did they bother to take away empty plates or give us new ones. We had to tell them what to do all along the meal.All the dishes except the sea bass had arrived and we were eating and enjoying the beautiful view of Symi. 40 minutes into the meal and still no sign of the fish. We asked the waiters what was going on, and they said it will be out soon. We mentioned that we are supposed to leave with the boat in 45 minutes time and asked if they could please make it quicker.Another 20 minutes already an hour at the restaurant and no fish. The waiters said that it should be out any minute and this was the point where we werent willing to wait anymore, since we were supposed to leave and everyone had finished eating. The waiters frowned and said its coming and we told them that we were not willing to pay nor eat the fish.There is no acceptable reason that a grilled fish should take over one hour to prepare. Not to mention the restaurant wasnt too busy, approximately 10 other tables at maximum keeping in mind we were at the largest table, sitting 6.Finally after 1 hour and 10 minutes after we had ordered the meal, the fish arrived with what seemed to be the manager that had mocked us being Israelis when we sat down who started shouting and saying that we ordered the fish and now its ready and we are going to pay for it. We told him that there is no reason we should be waiting so long, and if it takes over an hour to grill a fish this should be mentioned when taking an order, especially when people have a limited time on the island when arriving with the boat. When the manager understood that there is no chance we are willing to pay the 50 for the fish he started shouting and swearing in Greek, mentioning the word Israelites Israelis in Greek to his colleagues repeatedly.Needless to say we put the exact amount we were supposed to pay, excluding the fish, and no tip for such horrible service.

The menu said in Serbian/Montenegrin that people from exYugoslav countries could get a discount on drinks, and we had some such people in our group. Upon asking about this, we were informed that the discount only applied to Montenegrins, in flagrant opposition to the statement on the menu which is discriminatory and probably illegal anyway.We got our drinks and waited more than twenty minutes for someone to take our food order, even after flagging a waiter down. We decided to leave. Before we had even put the last of the coins on the table, a waiter very conveniently dashed out to collect our cash.

Unfortunately I cannot comment on the quality of food, as we did not make it that far.To paint the picture...We arrived for an early lunch at around 12 and were seated relatively quickly and pleasantly. Unfortunately that was the last pleasant thing we experienced.After this we were ignored for about 20 minutes before we were able to order drinks. We were travelling as a mixed group, and some of us were native to the Balkans. The menu advertised a discount for anyone who spoke the language. This is not true! When we queried this we were told it was only available for citizens of Montenegro....Once we had ordered drinks it was as if we had fallen from the face of the earth. Our waiter walked past us, ignored our polite requests and hails. Our drinks arrived after about 10 minutes and were fine. We failed to then order food for about 35 minutes as our waiter continued to ignore us. We are unsure why this was, but we suspect it is because one of our friends is a person of colour and received some shifty looks from the waiter.We eventually paid for the drinks and left and found much better, friendlier service at a restaurant called Bokun just around the corner." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg503819d4554785r588107204TheRealChinaSalfordGreaterManchesterEngland.html,Date of visit: June 2018,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,unknown,Rude and racist,"Was working at the theatre in MediaCity.

And I thought French desserts would be different or outstanding, and I, myself, am a big fan of desserts and found it really frustrating well, I also tried other desserts that my friends ordered, didn't change my opinion in any way / Service was good, yet later we noticed that the restaurant put us into small room deep inside the restaurant.....and it was very obvious that they were spliting the white ppl and asians into two different places, more specifically, it luked as if they were hidin the NONwhite ppl in this small room at the very corner of the restaurants. This totally ruined our lunch. And later on wen we were abt to leave, I still politely smiled and waved at the waitress and the staff in the restaurant and only the asian waiter who served our table smiled at us politely and there was this french waitress just gave me dis cocky dirty luk to be fair, other French waitress n waiter were quite nice , I think it was just this one and some other waitress that were quite rude. I dono if it was the restaurant policy or sth to divide the white ppl n nonwhite into different rooms....but totally unacceptable.The Lunch price for the 3 courses was okay compared to other Michelin restaurants we paid around 90euro each for 3 courses with glass of wine n sparkling water, but I'd say it was overpriced in terms of food, service and atmosphere.....I have lived in Europe for 6 years and been traveling to many different places, and I have been to some very highclass restaurants served in courses. I would say any of these restaurants would b granted at least 3 stars if according to Michelin rating.

Otherwise there really isnt anything good i can think of!as for the service, i expected to be served by Parisian snobs anyways...which i can understand might be an attraction in itself as where else in the world of fine dining do they not have waiters that can actually speak proper English That wasn't even the worst thing, my friends and I who are all Kiwis but born in Taiwan were the first people to arrive, and although we only did book our table the night before which kinda tells you that they're not that great if they aren't booked up for cheap lunch on a saturday! we were put to the side section of the restaurant which also didnt have any aircon, one of the things i was actually looking forward to at the restaurant! and soon after another group of 4 Asians from China were seated with us in our subsection. This was all well and good, but when i realised that the outside/main/airconditioned restaurant section was not even full but seated with tables of Europeans...that was what really pissed me off. Sure they can give me a reason saying that those were the only seats available but that clearly wasn't the case. Not wanting to play the race card but i really could not think of a reason for them to have seated us the way they did. so all in all, horrible food and terrible service! don't let this place ruin your trip to Paris!

There are comfortable looking seating options with plenty of cushions to go around and the place was pretty full with only a single row near the river facing side empty.

At this point the managerI guess who saw me entering came up to me and explained that I have to leave now and I cannot be accommodated. As it had very limited capacity, I could totally understand the situation and obliged willingly. On my way out, I saw a white couple obviously stumbling in and checking the seating and the manager welcoming them with wide arms and explaining that they can sit anywhere they want. I waited for the manager to come out and he just avoided meeting my eyes which just confirmed my assumption that I was racially profile and denied entry as I am Indian. With a disappointing end to my first day in Rishikesh, I trudged along to the next cafe where I had a brilliant time.I have been in cafes all across India from Varkala to Hampi to Pushkar to Kasol and I have never had such a pathetic experience with the folks who run the places.

Well there was an open seat at the extention, but our party was sharing with an all white party, and the seating hostess seemed to be determine to not let me sit next to that party. She suggested that I sit at the opposing corner of the table with our group, even though the extention seat was still on our side. I didn't seat, because I felt highly disrespected. At the end of the night, I asked the hostess for a credible reason why she refused to sit me next to that party, and she told me that she couldn't give me a credible reason, and then said that was her last night anyway, and just walked off.

When I ask for my change, he was stunted and said like there's nothing we can do with the changes anyway. NO thank you no nothing from them.

Despite the restaurant being pretty empty when we got there, we were showed to a makeshift table right at the back of the restaurant near the toilet and kitchen. The table looked nothing like the other tables and did not have table settings set out.On asking the waiter why he gave us this table, he said it was the owner's instructions. At this point, we almost walked out but since my son wanted to eat Italian badly, I insisted on another table and they provided us with a normal table. I later asked the owner why they provided us with the makeshift table and he mumbled something around not being aware of it but it was not convincing.During the dinner, the restaurant continued to be only about half full and I later noticed that the makeshift ""table"" they had originally shown us was used as a kitchen table where they put food ingredients. Therefore, it was not because the restaurant was full that they put us at that table originally.I can only conclude that they originally put us at that table because we are East Asians and they were discriminating against us. The food itself was good but the treatment left us feeling very uncomfortable and unable to enjoy our meal.This is the first time I have experienced racism so overtly at a restaurant despite having travelled extensively all around the world. From the other reviews, it seems that their normal service is good and not what we experienced so we were singled out for ""special"" treatment.If you patronize this restaurant, recognize that you are supporting a racist owner who overtly discriminates against customers based on race." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg187147d8684513r543055139RosaBonheursurSeineParisIledeFrance.html,Date of visit: November 2017,Europe,France,IledeFrance,"Bali, Indonesia",RACIST PLACE IN PARIS,"If you are a tourist or even a working person in Paris don't go there.

The couple were asked to come back in 15 minutes and when I spoke up and said I've been waiting too the waitress said ""we are very busy might have table but might not so you can come try later"".

I'm not one to think of anybody as racist unless somebody says something out right to my face, however on this occasion I thought it was important to leave this review as this was clearly racist! I would hate for anybody to experience what I did. I had a wonderful trip to Channia and this was my last night.

I then informed him that we checked their website which states the place closes for lunch at 3:30 and we had a hungry toddler with us. He seemed not to care and informed us that they were expecting a lot of guests in the evening and hence needed time to cook for dinner! I had him repeat this as I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

Racist manager. Awful service.,"I came on July 21 for dinner with my American friend at this restaurant. I am 23, visiting from Spain. I have been traveling around California for a number of weeks. Throughout this time, I've been using my National Spanish ID to get drinks as I'm cautious about bringing my passport around. I completely understand if a place only accepts passport, in which case, I'm comfortable looking for drinks elsewhere. My problem with the staff of Crushed, San Diego is the EXTREMELY RUDE and unprofessional way they told me I could not use my ID. Basically, upon receiving my ID and seeing it was a foreign, it was thrown at my face and when I handed over my phone with a picture of my passport, it was flicked across the table. I've never had anyone look at me or treat me like trash the way these people did. One waitress was pretty patronizing and talked to me slowly like I was a toddler, emphasizing that they only accept AMERICAN ids or passports. When I insisted once or tried to explain that all other establishments I've used this ID at had no issues, THEY THREATENED TO CALL THE POLICE ON ME. I was terrified, I couldn't say a thing after that. Again, I understand if I can't have a drink but when they switched over to my American friend they kindly asked what she wanted. They NEVER asked me if I wanted any food or anything nonalcoholic. No apology for the situation, nothing. The waitress just completely ignored me.I have never experienced this kind of treatment before. After all the news in the US about being threatened with the police for no legitimate reason when you mean no harm, I never thought it would happen to me so blatantly. This place needs to reevaluate their protocols and learn to handle customers, especially tourists, with care. Threatening to call the police on a young woman trying to explain herself or asking questions is not the way.

Another waitress approached me and gave me compliments about my kimono, but apparently Japan/Asia/kimono did not seem to be Raz's cup of tea!Raz continued to avoid my table after placing the bill on my table, so after waiting for good 15 minutes, I stood up and went to the waitress to say I would like to pay. Raz finally approached me and took my card without saying anything of course!. I asked his name and its spelling, and IT WORKED A MIRACLE. He looked extremely nervous and weak, and out of the blue mumbled that he loved my outfit, but too late!I sent a letter of complaint to the cafe, and a manager named Rebecca replied. She wrote that Raz admitted that he did not do enough service to me, and also that Raz said my outfit was 'insane' so that other customers and I could hear lovely extra service!. However, Rebecca desperately wrote that still she believed it was not related to racism or personal dislike by no means! She suggested visiting their cafe again to experience their 'heartfelt hospitality'. NO THANK YOU!!! I am living in London for years, wearing kimono almost every day, but I came across such a racist waiter for the first time. I still can not believe it happened in the multicultural London. I advise you not to go there, unless you love racist lads like Raz, who could kindly judge your outfit with strong words too!" -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg154998d3416883r556334762ParisCrepesCafeNiagaraFallsOntario.html,Date of visit: October 2017,Canada,Ontario,Niagara Falls,"St. Catherines, Canada",Racist Restaurant,"Flavourless coffee, rude service, and worst racist experience possibly in my life. Warnings to tourists or nonwhite customers: STAY AWAY! READ ALL UNDER 3STAR RATINGS FIRST! If you click on each one, you will see most of the customers who complained about service were either Chinese or Indian. Interesting isn't itHere is what happened if you are curious. A blonde waitress greeted us and asked if we had a reservation. The restaurant looked empty but she said without reservation we can only sit at a small shabby table.Well we didn't have any objection to that. We sat down and waited for her to come and take our order. It took a very long time. During this time a small fly was bothering us constantly and one time landed on my eyebrows and I was really annoyed. Finally she came and we ordered some crepes and two coffee lattes. When the coffee came among the flies, I was happy and I said ""nice"" since I was starving. The waitress said, ""yeah, and it was very strong coffee too."" I felt weird since we ordered coffee lattes which were not supposed to be strong.The moment I took a sip, it all became clear why she said that. The coffee 5.5 tastes like a combination of hot milk, some hot water, and some regular distilled coffee. The top of the coffee looks like foaming toothpaste and there was absolutely no crema which all espressobased coffee should have. I didn't want to complain about the lack of espresso coffee at this point since we were here for a carefree getaway. Then she came back and asked us how we felt about the coffee. My partner and I both hesitated for 1 sec to comment. I was about to reply ""it's ok"" to the waitress but all I saw was her butt. She cut me off with a loud voice, back towards us and stepping away, ""BETTER BE GOOD!"" We were choked without a chance to say anything.I was quite surprised. I have never given a negative comment before in a restaurant. But this time, I think I'd better tell her that something might be wrong with their espresso machine. The next time she came, I told her frankly that in my opinion the coffee was flavourless. She immediately responded, again in a loud voice, ""BUT WE PUT THREE SHOTS OF ESPRESSO THERE!"" That was a blatant lie.I was really angry and I said I'm sorry but it was at best coffeeflavoured milk, definitely not espresso! She said, again in a loud voice, ""I can bring you some more coffee, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TELL ME!""Now the most disturbing part. When she came back with more coffee, she started to go on and on about how I was rude and I should be nice and just tell her. I couldn't believe my ears and my hands were shaking. I had more than enough and I completely lost my appetite at this point. Being the only Asian customer in the room, I felt it must be discrimination at that point so I called her a racist idiot, dragged my partner out of the restaurant without paying the bill. I barely touched the food but the food was not all that great either. All the bacon strips were sitting on the outside of the crepes which was disturbing for a French restaurant.I have never walked out of a restaurant this way and it was the weirdest experience ever. Now that we cooled down a bit, I would describe this waitress as crazy rather than rude or racist. I won't go back at any point." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg186411d730657r591014844NawaabLeedsLeedsWestYorkshireEngland.html,Date of visit: June 2018,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,unknown,Racist attack,"Today we , took our guest to enjoy Indian cuisine , to the Nawab restaurant in Leeds branch around 9 pm. We were 4 adults and we placed order for our starters and drinks along with our main course. The Asian person in blue shirt, , Nadeem, not sure of his nametook our order. After sometime we received our starter item poppadums and we were all in good mood and were enjoying the food. While eating, I spilled some chutney on my phone and table and had to use the paper napkin to wipe my fingers and chutney stains on my phone and table. Meanwhile, our starters arrived and we were about to eat our starters, but as my paper napkin was spoiled due to chutney, I politely asked this person, Nadeem, to give me a paper napkin. He looked at us angrily gave us 4 paper napkins. We said we want only 1 paper napkin, but he again looked at us angrily and made a very rude racist comment I am giving you more because I know this is how Indians and Pakistani people are. They always ask for more napkins where ever they go. This is how all Indians and Pakistanis are. We were absolutely shocked by this racist comment. We are living in UK since past many years and had never been victim of racial abuse. This experience was not only shocking for us but really disheartening.

We all work with customer and have been working in this field for so many years from which we have learnt that customers are always right. Apparently in Nawab Leeds Centre it is a complete different story. On the way to the restaurant for a lovely evening and to celebrate Ramadans eve with the family, we thought it might be a good idea to bring our own cans of coke with us as the coke served at Nawab Leeds Centre is not as nice. My family said we would not have the coke until we asked the waiters if we could do that. When we arrived at the restaurant, we asked two waiters, and they said it was ok for us to drink our own coke. So in return we ordered more starters to compensate the restaurant for the loss of not buying coke from them. After we had the starters and while we were eating the main, a manager came to our table and literally started ranting at us in front of all customers saying: Are you guys actually having your own drinks We are trying to make a business here; do you think you are eating in Bradford It is Leeds here, this is not acceptable. We all thought that he was joking, but he kept on, I said are you actually saying these words to us He replied do you speak good English Do you actually have the dignity to bring your own coke here I said I have dignity despite of you I asked two waiters and they both said it was ok. He didnt believe me and said you need to stop giving me this attitude. When one of the waiters was walking by, I asked him and the waiter said he thought we were joking. At that moment, we stood up and asked for the bill, he said yeah come along and pay and leave, when my family were trying to tell him that we didnt like what he was saying and he should not have approached us like this, he kept talking over them and kept emphasising on the fact that he was the manager. We paid for the food but we didnt have it and left him the coke that we had brought with us, then we went to Kashmir restaurant in Bradford, which was very nice, cheap and very very friendly. We will never go to Nawab Leeds Centre ever again, even though we were regular customers and always paid tips for the under paid staff that were shouted at by that manager so many times. I did not like the stereotyping and the racism in that mans voice, who under rated and judged us and humiliated us in front of everybody for no reason at all and accused the people of Bradford of being something that they are not, whereas we were paying customers who did not do anything wrong." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg186338d4096847r593062297TheAnchorLondonEngland.html,Date of visit: July 2018,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,unknown,"Worse experience ever ""Racist staff and security is a disgrace""","I have been a regular customer at this pub and over the time I've notice the security guard can be aggressive towards customers, but last night he was really rude and racist towards me and the group of people in my table.

At the end of the game we congratulate the people around us but the same guys at the back were shouting racist remarks towards us again, then when one of my girl friends started shouting back why they were racist, the security guard came and push her out as if she was the one causing the issue. He was very racist himself pushing us all out and treating us like criminals. No one else from the staff members came to help or even to try to find out what was going on.

I've eaten SC barbeque 10 or so places and liked this one the best. Yes, sometimes the sandwich has too much sauce, but just ask for it on the side. The barbeque is pit cooked, same 24 hour process which has apparently been used for many years, and it's really high quality...no gristle, very little fat.

If the BBQ is actually any good, you don't need to drown it in average sauce, you simply use the sauce to compliment it.

The sides are usually pretty good, especially the onion rings.The dessert is always excellent but not worth the trip itself.

The food is alright, the music is always lively, and the venue is a great spot to catch up with friends. However, a few weeks ago I headed over there to meet some friends on a Friday evening, and was told that recent dress code rules forbid gents in shorts/slippers. I was bemused, as I've been there many times dressed casually, as most other patrons are as well. It's a pub after all, not a high end bar. Anyways, as I waited for my friends outside, I watched the hostess and bouncers reject a couple of guys and their female companions they seemed from the Indian subcontinent, for the same reason. Dejectedly, they hung around outside while making other plans. A few minutes later, three single Caucasian gentlemen, two of whom are in shorts/slippers, walk up to the door, and are welcomed warmly and let in. I was shocked!!! I immediately walked up to the hostess and bouncers and confronted them, obviously fuming at this blatant display of ""selective screening"". Their response Those Caucasian patrons were previously inside, having come in earlier for Friday brunch. So, when I asked what the difference is between someone coming in earlier or later, if there are patrons inside dressed casually at this very moment...they had nothing to say. I offered to pay the brunch entry fee although it was over several hours ago, if that was the case, and get nothing in return. They still refused. After a back and forth for several minutes, I asked to speak to the manager to complain. He came out and tried to defuse the situation, because at that point I made it clear that this was racially selective screening, regardless of dress code or timings or brunch fees. My friends inside came out, having confirmed that there were several gents inside dressed casually, shorts and slippers. The manager continued to try to clarify, but finally gave up and offered to let me in and buy me a drink on the house. I'm not sure what their concept of a man's pride is, but it would be a cold day in hell that I would accept such an offer, having been rejected, insulted, and humiliated by representatives of this establishment. This is Dubai, an Arab that welcomes people from all walks of life, a multicultural melting pot that few other cities in the world can rival. Places like the Stables do not belong in our modern society, especially not in Dubai. Racism will not be tolerated, and that evening a few weeks ago made it crystal clear: Stables does not welcome all. Call it what you will; selective profiling, racism, anti Arab on Arab soil.

We thought of calling DTCM but things such as DISCRIMINATION comes from within the person. It was HUMILIATING given that we talked to them with all the RESPECT but none given back. And the essence of a LADIES NIGHT is for ladies to hangout together and enjoy each others company! That is why is is called ladies night, so next time you want to use a door policy let it not contradict with your theme of the day!

Beware!","I do not know where to begin...I'm speechless. Absolutely the worst service I've ever experienced in my life. The manager of the establishment who is also the head chef even came out to insinuate that American's were not welcomed! Due to his inept management, the third plate of duck I ordered the emperor duck it has 3 different dishes came out to us 1 HOUR later than it was supposed to! Even after the duck was roasted and the first two servings were eaten it took an hour for them to serve the last dish.When we refused to pay for it because we didn't believe it was our same duck if you've ever ordered Peking Duck before you would know that the duck is cut and served three different ways. He became belligerent and made racist undertones in his words and attitude. I didn't even mention that that the duck was already cold and wasn't even that good.He lied and stated that it was our fault for not informing them that we had moved tables when clearly the waitress had known at the beginning that we had moved and where we had moved to. I even brought the waitress out to prove me right and when I was trying to explain to him about his error, we argued and he says he doesn't ever want us back and they don't welcome foreigners like us. We got into a yelling match, the busboy, belligerent chef/manager and other unknown restaurant male staff/posse/henchman starts getting physical. They insult my American wife and claimed I was unpatriotic I'm Asian. All we wanted was a nice meal. I've never been so insulted and shocked in my life over a meal that they had screwed up on.The waitresses were trying to calm the situation but the chef, and various male staff were atrocious with unbelievable animosity towards foreigners. They made it a racial issue when it was clearly their inept service and food that we were complaining about.Their duck wasn't even that good and definitely not worth the USD80 that we paid. I have had much cheaper and better in Guangzhou and Beijing, respectively! Never, ever had such a horrible experience at any eating establishment! These guys give Chinese restaurants a bad name.If I could give them NO rating I would.This is the most unprofessional, poor excuse for a restaurant. The head chef who seems to be a part owner is arrogant, a racist and belligerent." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg308272d2555970r192004150TraditionalBeijingRoastDuckRestaurantShanghai.html,Date of visit: January 2014,Asia,China,Shanghai Region,"Shanghai, China",Unbelievable racist establishment!!!,"I would NEVER go back to this restaurant and would advise anyone to avoid going here at all costs. These people are liars, con artists, and DANGEROUS to be around especially when it comes to foreigners. First, my husband and I go to be seated and they sit us next to the kitchen doors. I saw a row of tables open by the windows and I requested to be seated there. We were told that those were reservation only seating. So, we took the table next to the kitchen door and ordered duck liver, and the ""Emperor Duck"" which is 392RMB. We were told it would take 45 minutes for the duck to be cooked which was fine by us. After we had been sitting and chatting for almost 30 minutes I realized the tables by the windows I requested earlier were still open. We asked another waiter and they said that you did not have to reserve those seats and that they were open. Long story short after a lot of talking we got reseated where I first wanted to be. Although our waitress was very unhappy about it and tried to convince us to stay at our table. The duck skin came out and they served us at our new table. Yet, they didn't bring us our wraps to wrap the skins in. We had to wait a long period of time so by the time it got to our table our duck skin was cold. I wasn't too happy about that but decided to let it go. Then, we waited ONE HOUR for the rest of our duck dishes to come. If anyone has had Peking duck before they know that is waaaayyy too long for the rest of the duck to be prepared considering it's already cooked. By the time they had brought it to our table after multiple requests my husband and I were fed up. We asked for the manager and complained. We weren't even sure if that was the same duck we had ordered and it was already cold when it came out. Eventually, after making no headway with the manager the head chef came out. He was incredibly arrogant and told us ""It's not his problem."" He gave my husband, who is Chinese, the feel that he did not like foreigners I'm American. When I tried to say that this treatment was unacceptable he started slapping his chest and yelling ""CHINA, CHINA, CHINA!!"" so I knew he was a racist. In over a year of living in China I've never seen such blatant racism. By that time my husband and I knew we were going to get nowhere with people this ignorant. After we paid our check my Husband told the head chef that he gave Chinese people a bad name and that his behavior was completely out of line. Then, the head chef along with a few other kitchen workers ATTACKED US!! They literally started shoving, pulling, screaming, cursing it was absolute chaos. They were screaming at my husband saying he wasn't Chinese and that foreigners were not welcome in their establishment. Some of the waitresses were trying to hold some of the men back but they kept lunging at us and grabbing us. I had to keep shoving people off of me and my husband and we kept telling them to get their hands off of us. Some of the kitchen workers were taking off their jackets and screaming cuss words at us threatening violence against us. Even when we left they followed us downstairs and outside! But, the waitresses and a couple of the men that worked there got in the way and gave us enough time to leave.I have never been treated with such disrespect and hate here in China. These people are the worst of the worst! I'm surprised they haven't had a lawsuit. Not to mention, the food is barely mediocre the duck skin was not crispy and it was overpriced for the quality you get. There are plenty other Peking Duck places in Shanghai I would NOT go here if I were you. They will try to con you and will lie through their teeth. They are flat out DANGEROUS to foreigners. When they followed us outside I wasn't sure what they were going to try to do to us. The people that work there are unpredictable and you are NOT SAFE if you dispute your meal.

The lady who is serving invited everyone inside except us. At first we did not care the rain. But then it was raining a lot. One of us with baby got inside and asked for a napkin to dry the baby. They did not bother themselves giving us a napkin. My cousin took several napkins from an empty table. Our babys bag was on the chair outside. The serving lady took the bag and throw it away without telling us anything. We were shocked. I told her she can not do it. They were so rude and their attitude were so racist. The chef talked to us and tried to make it up. Yes their pizzas were good. But their attitude was so awful. It was a terrible experience. We were tourist and asked them to call the police for foreigners. Because we said we are not paying the check. They pretend like they dont understand English.

Everything was fine until they brought entrecote. Entrecote wasn't medium rare as ordered, was more like a rubber, very dry. Waiter was informed 5 minutes later after he brought it about that dryness and that 5 minutes delay was the reason they refused to change it or not to include it in the bill. We spoke to their manager who very soon started provoking us by saying racist things. Maybe it is normal for them, but not for us, we won't tolerate racism in any form.

We had just arrived in Novi Sad and decided to go and eat at a restaurant with good reviews. We arrived at 9.30PM, the waiter in his late forties, short black hear asked us where we came from we said Greece, although we were one Belgian and three Greeks. Apparently, the waiter does not like Greeks so he started shouting with every order: ""wine for the yunani"", ""water for the yunani..."" The food was really mediocre, but okay, not too bad. This would have just been an average experience were it not for the fact that things went really downhill when we asked for the bill. The bill was 4800. We gave 5000. After a while, the waiter 'asked' if we wanted change, we hesitated a bit he had really been 100 unprofessional and rude/racist and we should be even given credit for considering it after which he decided not to wait for our reply and started making a scene, shouting that because we are greedy Greeks we can get our 200 dinars back and get the hell out in five minutes, although he had brought us half a litre of wine five minutes earlier. But we did leave, our first positive impressions of this beautiful city scattered by a frustrated racist.I have maybe visited 1500 different places in my life, but this waiter nailed it. My worst experience ever! I felt insulted on behalf of my fellow Greeks. We showed our disgust when leaving the place, but no other member of the staff cared a bit either. The owner was absent.And really, the food's not worth it either. We had, among other things, the 1800 dinar speciality of the house, a really mediocre mixed grill for two. Nothing to get excited about, apart from the French fries.The local red wine was excellent though." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg187147d695275r626617978AndyWahlooParisIledeFrance.html,Date of visit: October 2018,Europe,France,IledeFrance,"London, United Kingdom",Racist bar.

When we arrived in the second taxi the doorman basically stuck his head in our taxi and said you might as well stay in the taxi and go elsewhere we are fully booked. At that point we were like not a problem we still need to get out to get to our friends and wait for the other taxi to arrive. As we were standing outside we noticed that there were people coming out and said as people are coming out can we not go in as they come out, the doorman said no its not possible the bar was full and there is no room. we said okay fine not a problem but then right in front of us he let a group of people in of the street that just arrived. He didnt ask them if they had a reservation or a table nothing just let them in. we asked him why he let them in he just ignored us and told us to go away and that we should leave the road and take a right somewhere! Finally our third taxi arrived and he started telling us that we had to move on and go away just to get away from the club. By now we had seen other people being let in thats when we realised the problem we were 10 Indian girls hence the reason there was no entry for us. When we challenged this he just shrug his shoulders the other door man must have heard us and said no its a private party well if that was the case where was the guest list in his hand And how comes they were letting people in from the street without asking them why they were thereI dont like to blame anything on racism but this club and there door staffs attitude really dampened our night and the start of our trip to Paris.

Blaspheming for us to return to our country not being an American either. Again being prejudiced, this time with foreigners.The guy stayed there and ate his calzone more expensive and showed to this attendant how superior and polite he was.

We were sitting in a tight corner and needed to ask a lady at the next table to move her chair so that I could have some space to get out. The lady was very kind and got up out of her chair to let me pass.

We had paid our bill, by his logic, does that mean we are no longer customers! Then he turned to the lady and said to her""What do you expect from a Chinese!"" !

The first impression when entering the restaurant was good. It's a really intimate place and the atmosphere is nice. However, that was the only positive part of the evening. 1. They refused to serve tap water but offered cut price bottled water for 1.50. This was presented in a jug and was clearly tap water. Charging 1.50 for tap water is not OK2. I asked for a Quattro Formaggi with onions and garlic I LOVE onions and garlic. They point blank refused to add onions and garlic because 'we're a traditional Italian restaurant and we don't want to spoil the food'. I said this was ridiculous because for me, the onions and garlic will enhance the food but it fell on deaf ears. I was irritated but said 'OK, I'll take it as it is'. I ordered in German but started complaining to my husband about it in English because naturally I switch to my native language when I'm annoyed! and the waiter in turn started speaking English back to me.3. They brought out my husband's Pizza and I waited patiently for my Quattro Formaggi. When it hadn't arrived 5 minutes later we asked where it was and apparently, they understood that I said I didn't want to eat anything. I was horrified and hungry I hadn't eaten all day! This definitely wasn't what had happened and I couldn't believe that a restaurant would rather not serve somebody food than give them onions and garlic!4. When I complained to the manager he said he couldn't see a problem and the waiter was right not to give me onions and garlic and it was a misunderstanding that they didn't give me any food. That may be the case but what he went on to say really upset me as it was blatantly RACIST . He said in a very nasty way 'what we need in this restaurant is only people who speak good German'. I am 100 sure he was not only referring to me being an English speaker but to me being black I was the only black person in the restaurant.They were totally unapologetic and had absolutely no idea about customer service. I think it has to be one of the worst service experiences I've ever had. I would NEVER go to a racist establishment like this again.

The cook then came out and said I must be mistaken. I told them it was disgusting they were serving food like that and then accusing customers of making things up, and they became very rude to me. I said we would not pay for our meals, as we had only eaten a few bites and didn't want to continue eating because we both felt really sick after what had just happened. One of the waiters said we had to pay. I stood my ground and said we would not be paying for such a terrible meal, and he then began to raise his voice at me, along with the other waiter.

He actually shoos us away. Note to Trip Advisor pls drop his ratings, even if his food is great but if restaurants don't know how to talk to people and are racist then they are not worth any ratings. In the pics You can see him throwing us away while the other white people are busy placing an order." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg187791d7045406r301282342SnackBarRomaLazioRomeLazio.html,Date of visit: August 2015,Europe,Italy,Lazio,"San Jose, California","Terrible service, bordering on racist","We are a family of Indians who came here for a late lunch with elderly parents. It was terrible, incompetent service that bordered on racist. When we arrived, we were kept waiting for someone to get us a table but no one seemed too interested. They were cleaning and so we dismissed it as an honest error. We were finally asked to sit outside and the waitress came to take our order. She didn't seem fluent in English so we had long exchanges trying to understand one another. I noticed her sniggering as members of our party tried to pronounce some of the dishes. We weren't born in Italy so instead of sniggering, I would have liked her to help us pronounce correctly. But again, we didn't make much of her poor manners. We were terribly hungry and put in orders for our entrees. After waiting for 45 mins, there was still no sign of our food nor was there any communication from the staff. We went in and asked for an update where our waitress gave us a lethargic ""they are cooking"" response rather than try to expedite our order. Then she came in with 2 of our entrees, apparently it takes them 45 mins to make pizzas. We were really hungry and devoured our pizzas in 15 mins. Still no sign of the remaining entrees. We went back in and checked about the status of our remaining orders. The lady at the counter seemed clueless as she thought we ordered only two entrees. She asked our waitress about our order and sure enough, it said on her diary that there were 4 entrees. At this time, it struck our lovely waitress that hasn't put in our remaining entrees order to the kitchen. She told us that ""she forgot to inform her colleague"". At this point we just gave up. We cancelled our remaining entrees and asked for the check. Then they proceeded to charge us for 3 entrees!! It was terrible, incompetent service that bordered on being racist. They clearly didn't want brown skinned people at their cafe and I will be sure to take my business elsewhere for our remaining vacation in Rome." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg188064d1525936r209683376BrasserieFloraLucerne.html,Date of visit: June 2014,Europe,Switzerland,Canton of Lucerne,"Herisau, Switzerland",VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH SERVICE FLORA BRASSERIE IS A RACIST RESTAURANT IN LUCERNE,"FLORA BRASSERIE. : RACIST RESTAURANT IN LUCERNEOn the last day of our visit in Lucerne we entered this restaurant which was opposite out hotel ordered a drink each.

When we asked the same waiter why the next table could order a meal and we could not he rudely answered the other customers were an exception and walked away without another word ! Clearly he implied he was not interested in our business and was not willing to serve us!! In my opinion the attitude of this rude waiter is a very racist the other customers were 100 Europeans!!!

So I looked at him and asked him if he was telling me this because I was female, sitted alone and I was black He stammered and said no, so I said OK if it makes you feel better here is 2500 Rubles can I have my drink now. Ladies and gentlemen I sat there for more than an hour and not once did I see anyone give a deposit when they entered the bar and sat down. I watched my game, ate and drank and only spent 1500 of my 2500 and walked out without asking for my change.

I guess my good sense should have told me that eating raw clams in what is basically a basement in a train station in the middle of Manhattan should not be a great idea, but I did it all the same. I also had a salad with some scallops. My lunch mate had a turkey burger. By the time we stood up, I could tell that something was not sitting just right. I can't put my finger on it, but the food just did not taste great. I thought the service was very attentive although at one point when I asked my server to let the person shucking the clams decide what kind I should have that day as they often know what is freshest, best etc, she basically said that he does not know anything and that he shucks what she tells him. The fact that the guy did not seem to speak English did not sit well with me as her comment felt a bit racist. I have no doubt he knew A LOT about those clams .

When I insisted that I did and that my date was parking the car, they said the couldn't understand my last name and that maybe I didn't have a reservation.

My date said he did not want any more wine and he poured it into his glass anyway which was incredibly insulting. They had a fixed multicourse menu and our server brought out one course twice, took it back and completely forgot another course. After bring served dessert, we reminded them about our missing course and he rolled his eyes and questioned us about the missing course as if we were lying. Finally they realized something was wrong and changed our server. The 2nd serve questioned us again and said HE did bring us that course. I told him he has never even been to our table. He then realized that he confused us with someone else and gave us our squab course AFTER dessert. He did apologize and owned their mistake. However, after we paid the full amount which was close to 600, they ""cancelled"" our reservation on OpenTabel so that we can't review their terrible service on OT. In sum: 1 They didn't bring the right courses 2 they missed a course 3 they tried to accuse us of lying about the missing course 4 they retroactively deleted our reservation on OT to avoid a negative review and yet our charges still remain. If they want to retroactively cancel our reservation so we can't leave a review on OpenTabel, they should also not charge us.

While we entered the guard fellow Indian who was a Malayali tells us not to use the cafe as a passage. It is because the cafe is linked to other shop which further leads to an exit to another street. With due respect considering he was an elderly man we obliged and we're strolling in the cafe. Infact I told my husband that let's eat something in this cafe like tea, cakes etc. As it is a Jewish place and might have something different to offer. Hence we entered inside and we're seeing stuff around. We also saw many foreigners at that place who were not given any instructions at the gate by the same guard, however we didn't react to it. We just stopped at the clothes counter to take a look and the same guard again came and told my husband not to use it as a passage. He specifically pointed out at us. There were many people all foreigners to be precise around us who were either eating or strolling it in the cafe but he made it a point and only told us. My husband and I were very upset and we told the workers there that this is purely racist and he being an Indian himself cannot be doing this. Kerala is apparently God's own country but it was quite disheartening and upsetting to come across such behaviour.I urge people of the cafe to please expel the guard who has absolutely no sense of talking to people or instructing them. He is purely racist and a rude individual. I wish I could give a negative rating, however TripAdvisor doesn't allow it. My mother in law got scared and asked us not to argue which is what many of us tend to do. We made it a point to tell all the workers about it and hope they understood. But the guard towards the end yelled back at us.

The original bartender looked at us, then him, then us... all with a confused look on his face. We were sober, well dressed, and polite. There was zero reason to not be served. In fact 2 of the guys said that was the first time they had been refused service. It was very strange, as we are literally professional athletes and are always greated with open arms.

We were forced to leave after one of our party was refused reentry, after stepping outside for a cigarette. The Croatian security guard smirked at the only foreign member of our party Turkish and told him that he was not letting him in because hed drank too much after drinking 2 pints. He then smirked again and said well done to him in Turkish. The Croatian bouncer was also flanked by his mates who sniggered and joked in their native language with himpresumably at our expense. The manager arrived and confirmed that our Turkish colleague was indeed sober, and that he should have let him in and when I said that the bouncer was racist the manager said sher hes Croatian, how could he be racist Because foreigners cant be racist apparently... perhaps he needs a lesson in geopolitical historyThis is one of those places where they dont care about customers because they will always get their money from the next person who comes along. In 10 years in Dublin, this was the most disappointing example of blatant racism that was apparently acceptable to the management.

We are very humble people and when we politely said thank you anyway after asking if they had an item on the menu, she still managed to whinge out loudly to her co workers and tried to humiliate us. Absolutely disgusting and immature of her considering we were nothing but patient and polite with her to begin with.

There are some aspects that need improvement but it is a very enjoyable experience overall. We used the large beds on both occasions in the VIP area and the ambience is superb. The swimming pool is an oasis in the hot sunshine. It can only be used by those in the VIP area. Any others trying to use it are swiftly invited to move. The ambience is very similar to the clubs in St Tropez and very relaxing. My girlfriend is mixed race and we encountered no racism at all despite the earlier review. Having said that she is extremely beautiful being an international model. Food was excellent as was the wine list. Service on the second day was attentive. There were some downsides. First, there was no music either live or piped. On the second day we went, there was some music but it derived from the radio. Other beach clubs on the Nice beach had DJs or live music which sounded funky and appropriate for a club. The lavatories are less than clean. They are very poor and grubby. They need immediate attention. We joked about catching herpes but there was a grain of truth in our banter. We used the four poster bed but there was no veil on the top of the bed so sunshine streamed in. The club utilised a single parasol but it was insufficient to cover the size of the bed. A simple veil that can be moved would cost cents and I fail to understand that the veil is missing. The service was variable. We have used the Radisson Beach several times which is excellent but the service at Cocoon was not good especially on Day One. Bearing in mind we had paid a premium to use the VIP section, many times we had to find the beach boy to serve us. He was a bit grumpy and not amenable to serving us in spite of the large tip we gave him. The food was good although the menu was not very comprehensive. Overall we really enjoyed our days at Cocoon Beach but it needs to iron out its short comings," -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg187234d14079050r602177640CocoonBeachNiceFrenchRivieraCotedAzurProvenceAlpesCotedAzur.html,Date of visit: August 2018,Europe,France,ProvenceAlpesCote d'Azur,"Mumbai, India",Racist and immensely rude staff,"Inspite of the restraunt being relatively unoccupied, we were refused entry.

A big argument followed asking the reason for her rage and the irrational answer was to tell us to leave and then screaming beyond unacceptable insults related to origin arguments with swearings.

However, the service is awful and it cannot be excused because they offer occasional good music. Last night we went there for a concert, which was really good. We were six people on the table, and they got the check mixed up which, in retrospect, was predictable. I wished we had paid separately for every drink we had upfront, but we had not, and they ended up charging us for three extra beers. When we checked about five times among each other, we told the waitress she might have made a mistake, yet she never even considered that there could be a small possibility that the addition could be wrong. She ended up letting her supervisor know, who was even more impossible. The supervisor, called upon to ""handle the situation"", ended up telling us right away ""I will not deal with this, just get your money together and pay"". When I tried to explain to her what could have gone wrong, for the third time, she said that she had been working in the place for ten years and there was absolutely no way that any employee could have made a mistake, and patronizingly told me that ""Probably you are not aware of it, but there is tax and gratuity included"". When I told her even when these are kept in mind there is something wrong, she told me in all of her ten years she has only seen Jews behaving this way, which was, obviously, openly racist. I must say at this point we were speaking Turkish, so she probably had no problem being completely discriminatory, since no nonTurk would be able to understand what she was saying. This is as hypocritical as it is racist.Do not go to this place, it has at least one employee that is openly antiSemitic and the whole place clearly rips people off. If you really like a band playing here, either do not drink anything or pay for all of your drinks when you buy them, do not put them in a tab.

After half an hour or so the manager came back saying we are making his customers leave. That was a false accusation as no one had left on our account. We were appalled at his behaviour and the way he was speaking to us, it almost felt personal. When we said we would never come back after such treatment from him he said in exact words "" we don't need people like you here."" What's that supposed to mean!!! This is definitely a racist comment and no one should treat their customers in this manner. He was extremely rude. Even the waitresses were embarrassed with the managers behaviour and they kept apologising for his rudeness. May I also add this is not the first time we have had rude attitude from this restaurant. This will be the last time any of us will ever set foot in this place. How this person has become a manager is beyond me.

Me and a few friends visit Dolce Vita for a birthday brunch. A great time was had by all.2. After brunch, we head to the outside area to enjoy more drinks. Upon entering the outside area, two older white gentleman see me and my friends and hastily move to another area by the hotel rooftop pool.3. Shortly after moving to another area, the two gentleman summon the manager of Dolce Vita and then engage in a heated discussion whilst pointing at me directly throughout.4. After concluding the discussion with the two older white gentleman, the manager and another member of staff come over to me and inform me that me and my friends will no longer be served drinks. Also, once we finished he drinks we currently had, we had to leave the premises immediately.5. I ask point blank if the reason we are being asked to leave is because the two older white gentleman have an issue with me The manager and his colleague smirk and shrug their shoulders. I ask more pointedly ""are you asking me to leave these premises because I am black"" Again, both colleagues smirk and then repeat their request to leave the premises.After this exchange I left the premises if only to ensure that I myself did not escalate the situation by reacting angrily in any way.So to all my fellow travellers, restaurant enthusiasts or anyone simply looking for a nice restaurant or hotel to visit:1. If you are black like myself, DO NOT visit this restaurant! It has already been made clear to me that anyone who shares the same skin tone as myself will not be welcome.2. If you are a person who believes in equality and the fair treatment of all fellow human beings, DO NOT visit this restaurant! Unfortunately, this establishment does not believe in the same value.3. If you are looking for a hotel to stay at whilst in Singapore, DO NOT stay at the Mandarin Oriental Singapore. I have relayed this feedback directly to the management at both Dolce Vita and the Mandarin Oriental Singapore.Singapore is a wonderful place to live and my experience at Dolce Vita is not typical of my daily experience in this wonderful city. I really do not like having to write a review such as this. But the only way to change the attitudes of racist and ignorant people is to call out their behaviour at the outset.I hope nobody goes through the same kind of experience I have gone through.

After going to a concert in Granada, a group of eight friends and I decided to get a bite to eat on Pedro Antonio. The majority in our party decided to try Frankfurts Bocanegra. After ordering drinks, we sat at one of the outside tables in front of the restaurant and looked at the menu. Nothing on the menu seemed appealing to me as I didnt feel like eating meat. While the rest of our group ordered sausages and sandwiches, I walked across the street and got a very good falafel. Upon returning to Frankfurts Bocanegra to rejoin our group in the outdoor terrace, the owner, who apparently saw me cross the street for a falafel, approached our table and started ranting that I had supported terrorism by buying Arabic food. When I and others in our group responded that we didnt agree with his perspective, the owner became very aggressive and started yelling at us, using highly inappropriate racist and islamophobic language that cannot be included in a Tripadvisor comment. Ironically, the owner stated that we should be supporting Spanish food. This confrontation went on for about 10 minutes before the owner left, literally screaming at us. After finishing the meal, two members of our party entered to pay. Just to be sure, one of the members of our group asked a waiter who the man was that had approached our table. The waiter confirmed that he was the owner of Frankfurts Bocanegra.Needless to say, we will not be returning to this establishment." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg316013d7102884r604220718PavilionCafeBarmouthGwyneddNorthWalesWales.html,Date of visit: August 2018,Europe,United Kingdom UK,Wales,unknown,Abhorrent customer service,Initial rude beaviour from a member of staff we then complained to a manager who was just as bad and then lastly faced by the owner who took no notice and made us feel like we was not wanted in thier takeaway.

I have ordered online with other restaurants and it seem like it is a problem so I would rather call and be on hold. Dining there was pretty good. I've been to both China Towns in LA and San Francisco and I feel that this restaurant is just as good. Its better to go on a crowded night as the dim sum is always fresh and the carts are plentiful.

When we got there, they sat us down and they seemed polite but I left fuming and disappointed. We order a lot of food quite a few dishes and a bottle of wine and a few beers. We got our apps quickly and we wanted another bottle of hot sauce so we took it from the table beside us. The owner freaked out and said, ""No. Its for this table."" So we asked the owner for another bottle of hot sauce since we were a table of 6 and we like our hot sauce. He said, ""No, you already have one."" We answer, ""Can we have another one for the table"" It's hot sauce. It's a restaurant. This SHOULD BE NO BIG DEAL. He gave us a dirty look. Thankfully, the server problem solved and brought us small plates to pour the hot sauce and leave it at the other end of the table. This definitely left a bad taste in our mouth.The rest of the food took forever to come out almost one hour AND they forgot a dish that we had ordered. The food was meh. Pho was not good and the other dishes were salty.But the worst was yet to come. We noticed that all the new tables were receiving complimentary drinks and we had not. So i asked the owner, ""What are they drinking"" He said, ""I'm giving our complimentary local wine/champagne."" I mentioned that we had not received any and his exact words I still remember were, ""Asians don't like this drink."" I was kind of left speechless and all I said was, ""You don't know if we would like it or not and it would be nice to ask."" We are actually from Canada so maybe our taste buds are different. Anyways, the food is meh. The area is dark and dingy. The service is not bad there were a couple servers who were actually so kind and apologized for the owner's behaviours. But the owner is a cheap RACIST jerk.

Then we sat down and when we couldnt speak much spanish they seemed very annoyed and still grunting angrily they said abruptly french German English We said we spoke english as we are from scotland. The man then returned with an english menu and slapped it down infornt of us without care. We ordered the seafood platter to begin and paella for mains this would cost us 52 euro. We wanted to celebrate our trip and one year together and wanted it to be special. The waitress came back with a 'seafood platter'. The seafood platter was NOT fresh. It was rubbery, smelt disgusting and everything was deep fried within an inch of its life. Made me feel sick so i left it. We put our cutlery on our plates awaiting the next course. The extremely rude waitress came over picked up our plates and from a standing height THREW the cutelry down on the table for each of us with an almighty crash. The other spanish folk in the restaurant did not even blink leading us to believe this was a common occurence. We felt even more unwelcome and could not believe that this was happening. We had been nothing but polite DESPITE their grotesque food and behaviour so far. The next course arrived and thoughts of gordon ramsay in his kitchen nightmares came to mind when they find old rotten food out of the back...The 'authentic' paella was like vomit, though vomit would have been nicer. It was soggy like it had been made a long time ago. I make better stuff myself! That actually is fresh and tasty. It stank, the seafood was questionable. It wasnt warm and had zero flavour. Gross. I couldnt eat it for gagging and my other half couldn't eat it all either. They came back to get the plates no eye contact no speach the worst service in the world. We wished we had just made food at our camper because we make better food in there by miles.We rejected the dessert option, payed the 52 euros PURELY because we felt so out of our comfort zone and worried about them being more nasty.

We had paid our bill, by his logic, does that mean we are no longer customers! Then he turned to the lady and said to her""What do you expect from a Chinese!"" !

Terrible attitude!!,"Went there on Tuesday late afternoon near closing time. There were no other customers on the premises. We sat in the more outdoor side on a large 2m x 2m wooden plank table as the main cafe area was closed. We were a party of 12 of Asian appearance except for my dad who is English. Our party of 12 comprised of 6 seniors over 70 years of age, 3 adults, a 5 year old, a 1 year old autistic toddler and an infant asleep in a pram. My husband in his 30s arrived in the cafe first and proceeded to fetch some table water from the fridge to settle the main party as everyone were either really old or really young and 2 nursing mothers. The lady with maroon/red hair at the main shop was already irritated and stopped my husband from what he was doing. He explained that he was just getting some water first with full intent of purchasing from the cafe 7 ice creams and 2 energy drinks. As we were finishing our ice creams. My cousins autistic 1 year old toddler climbed onto a huge wooden plank table near us and his mother took some photos of him. At this time the lady from the main cafe bursted down the aisle and shouted at toddler Get off the table, people eat on that you know! This is Australia. You dont do that here. You can go do that in China!, and hurried to leave the scene. I was browsing my phone when I heard this and called her out on it. I said Hey. That was inappropriate. There is no need to be a racist and drag county into this. She claimed that she isnt a racist. And I said why not say Korea or Japan. To which she replied they dont do that. Only people from China behave like this and then called me a racist for calling her out. I dont disagree that climbing on top of a table is bad manners but she could have just stopped at that. There is no need to take the matter to a country level. Separately, I will be reporting the incident to the Australian Human Rights Commission. This IS Australia.

We booked on line in the afternoon for the same night, a Saturday. I was surprised to see tables available at every time throughout the night, we booked for 9.30. On arrival we were told the table will be ready shortly as the previous guests were about to leave. We waited in the street and after 10 minutes they bought us a glass of prosecco each, we waited in total 30 minutes before we were taken to the table. When we sat down they refilled the glasses with a little more prosecco and then nothing. After another 30 minutes and having watched every table after us get a basket of bread I complained to the matre d, he didn't apologise but just sneered and set he would sort us out plenty of bread. A big basket arrived, followed by a waiter with another who was also sneering. We said we were OK with the one basket and to take it away. The wine and the starters arrived, now nearly 11pm, we had marinated fish and beef carpaccio, both were tasteless and not by any means exceptional, the wine was OK but at least 30 more than other places. We watched a group of waiters laughing and passing the breadbasket to one of their number who then brought it to our table, we told them to take it away and stop being so rude. A couple of minutes later we watched the same thing happen again and for the fourth time the basket was brought back by a sneering waiter. We then saw the matre d at the next table talking to the guests, pointing to us and laughing, I then told him what I thought and that an appropriate review would follow, he told us that a bad review would not affect his business as the place was always full. Trouble is he is probably right. At this point we walked out, the treatment the other guests received all Italian, was a far cry from what we got.

Well, I speak Spanish so I had the bad luck to hear everything he said. And when I confronted him he responden so what should I call him, and he repeatedly argued that he had right. Then another waiter came and tried to explain that the African sellers usually bothers the guests, and that the sellers should be thankful because they get food and shelter in Spain. I find this experience tremendously racist and was considering going to the police, but due to lack of time I didnt go. And about the food; I ordered a hamburger and a entrecte.

After reading all January 9th reviews, and with my own experience at this restaurant, let me add that having or not having an ID to order drinks, is not that critical, you just do not drink, period!

I am one not to write reviews, but after being in the receiving end of racism in 2019 I feel obligated to write one. So heres what happened...today I visited Fall Line at Vail Village with my wife and 2 other couples family and friends. When we ordered drinks my wife didnt have her ID since we were coming back from skiing and was not allowed to order. Even when we I have a scanned copy of her license. By the way shes 29 and clearly doesnt look under age. Either way, the waiter explained the policy and while we werent happy we understood that it was Colorado law. Thus, the rest of us ordered drinks and she just had water for the duration of our meal. Up until this point everything was fine. We ordered drinks and food. While we waited for our food we discussed amongst us in our native language SPANISH how things differ in regards to the policy and not accepting the scanned copy. Even a couple that didnt speak spanish sitting next to us jumped into the conversation expressing they didnt agree either with the fact they didnt serve drinks to my wife.This is where everything took an 180 degree turn for the worst...First, a staff member approached the couple next to us and told them a comment in the neighborhood of enjoy the show. The couple couldnt believe the comment and the level of racism towards us and left the restaurant. Then, while one of the couples in our group was still eating the same staff member came over to table and placed the check in front of me. To this I turned around and gave it back to her letting her know that it we were still eating and we hadnt requested the check. At that point we werent sure if was a confusion or something else. A few minutes later I left the table to the restroom and when I came back the group gave me the unpleasant news the staff once again had brought without us requesting it. We kept our composure and ordered coffee. By the way, we were NEVER offered to ordered coffee or desserts. Clearly at this point they wanted to get rid of us. I was pretty disappointed with the treatment and when we did asked for the check I asked our waiter if there was a reason why another staff had brought the check over twice without being requested. First he answer that it was probably a mistake, but when I asked again but why twice. He rudely responded that we were mocking at their policy towards ID. Yes, while we were displeased we never mocked at it as I described above. It was then that for the first time in my 33 year old life I felt what it was to be subject of RACISM because I am HISPANIC and choose to speak in my native language. Ive never in my life been so offended. To all of this they also included an automatic 20 gratuity not deserved which its not disclaimed anywhere in the place/menu. We decided to pay the bill with the unearned gratuity and just leave the place because there was no use in getting into a discussion with ignorant and racist people. It is unbelievable and sad that they treat patrons this way just because they couldnt understand a different language other than English. I truly hope ownership takes action on this matter given Vail gets quite a diverse amount of visitors from all over the world every year. I never intend to visit this restaurant again, and hope anyone reading this review hispanic or not thinks twice if they truly want to patronize a place in which racism still exist in 2019." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg33676d13231741r644853692FallLineKitchenCocktailsVailColorado.html,Date of visit: January 2019,United States,Colorado CO,Vail,Puerto Rico,Worst experience!

And I'm so pleased we did! The restaurant was a bit quiet when we arrived, which initially felt a bit awkward, but we got over that pretty quickly once we sat down at our table. Our waitress was absolutely lovely and we didn't have to wait for very long for our first course to arrive. I ordered some soup, and the waitress was more than happy to teach me how to drink it properly from the little pot and cup. Thank you for that!Both my boyfriend and I ordered the chef's selection of sushi, which came with ten large pieces of nigiri and six pieces of cucumber maki and was freshly made right in front of us. I definitely recommend ordering this if you're dining with someone else, because it was really fun going through our identical platters and trying everything at the same time! Who knew raw squid and octopus could be so deliciousThe only downside was the rather unimpressive dessert menu, which featured little more than ice cream. Some Japanese desserts would have been a lovely way to end the meal, but other than that, I had a fantastic experience at Momo!

We once managed to persuade one of the junior staff to translate some of it for us.The food from the specials menu was better than that on the main menu and cheaper too! This member of staff was promptly told off by the nasty woman in charge. NonJapanese are given worse seats even when we book, their food is kept on the side longer to make it colder, and generally no smiles are given. The old woman running the show is also rude to her own staff such that there is high staff turnover and a resentment is palpable. The chairs are uncomfortable and the tables are cheap quality, giving a diner kind of feel.All of this is a huge shame because the food is excellent quality and that's why we came back a couple of times. However, portion sizes are small and two people can't really eat for under 100 without alcohol which is expensive in this part of London.Go if you're Japanese, or if you are brave also demand the specials menu.

We got a recommendation from a jewelry shop owner to have lunch at Belforte for the best food and best view in Vernazza. We did not have a reservation, but arrived at 12:30 and requested a table. With the exception of one other party, the entire restaurant was empty and we were told that they could seat us but wed have to be done eating before 1:30. We were willing to give it a try but the 3 men that greeted us, if you will, suddenly became very agressive and rude. They proceeded to show us to a table in the middle of the restaurant, but there were lots of empty tables on the edge. When we asked if we could sit at one of the tables on the edge for a more picturesque view, they got really agitated, PUSHED me so hard that I bumped into my girlfriend. Anyway, the request was denied and they gestured for us to still sit at this table in the middle. They were so aggressive that they pushed the middle table and the glasses fell. We immediately decided this was not a welcoming or safe environment, said thank you and left. On our way out, myself and one of the other ladies in our party heard one of these men utter a racial slur! We are a group of 6 highly educated, highly esteemed women of color and are appalled that this type of discrimination is so blatant and in a tourist area. I wanted to warn other people of color and anyone else with any morals to avoid this dangerous place.

At first they were hesitant. Anyway they told us to sit in the middle of the restaurant with 4 chairs, we politely asked for a table of 6 near the edge which had a view. One of the waiters then got angry and literally pushed my friend out of the way and grabbed a table and proceeded to slam the tables together making the glasses on the table fall!!

We arrived 20 minutes before they opened, were told to wait, fine we waited. Then after they opened the restaurant, nobody would tell us whether we are getting a table or respond to our questions. It's weird they would not even look us in the eye, we were completely ignored like we didn't existed. I have never been treated like that at a restaurant. We waited at the tables that did not have a ""reserved"" sign and then eventually were told we need to move. No explanations were given why we needed to move, they basically came and shoved us off while we watched other ""white"" customers being seated and attended to. There was another Indian couple who received the same treatment. We were outraged and left, gladly at our next restaurant we were treated with a smile and courtesy. This experience left our Cinque Terre trip with a huge shadow, it made me not wanting to come back to this town. I hope people recognize how ridiculous and racist this restaurant is and stop eating here. Doesn't matter how good the views are or how delicious the food is, treating people with respect is the basics of the service industry and they failed miserably, it's not acceptable.

The restaurant was mostly empty and we were the only people of color there. Right from the start, we noticed that the server was not as warm with us as he was with other tables around us. It was not that we did not speak Italian because no guest at the restaurant spoke Italian. However, the server was significantly more welcoming with other groups sitting down and having long conversations with them, making jokes and talking about places to visit. All we got was patronizing treatment and some condescending lessons on the Italian language. Ultimately, at the end of the meal, it was customary for the server to offer every table some Limoncello. But there was no mention of that with us and we were promptly handed the check. In the end, we spent over a hundred euros for dinner and tip because we did not want the server to also think that people of color don't tip well apart from any other preconceived notions he had that made him give this differential treatment. The sad part is that we actually liked the food but all we will remember from our experience is the feeling of being discriminated against." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg188064d1215436r446994118ValentinoLucerne.html,Date of visit: December 2016,Europe,Switzerland,Canton of Lucerne,unknown,Real Rude and Racist,Today we had the misfortune of visiting this restaurant for lunch.The waiter was very rude and seemed pained to serve us just because we are from India.

I went to try this restaurant with my Mandarinspeaking friends after finishing class. The waiter was chatting with them when I came back from the washroom which was disgusting. They were speaking in Mandarin, which I do not understand. After the waiter knew that I did not understand Mandarin, he pointed a finger at me as he told my friends how important it is to know Mandarin, and how I should get a Mandarinspeaking boyfriend. He said more things as his finger was pointed at me, but my friends told me it was better that I didn't understand what he said, and did not translate the rest.The food came, and they were not that great. For the amount I was paying, I could get much larger portions and better food somewhere else.Later on in the meal, the waiter came back to chat more in Mandarin, of course, completely ignoring my presence. This time, he made many racist and unnecessary remarks about black people. My friends described those comments as very cringing and uncomfortable.So, this is my first impression of Sichuan food.

We were then told to ""go get your gluten from Porky's"" and were literally chased away from the pavement outside because we were supposedly not allowed to stand there. I won't even get into the racist tirade they launched into, though they did tell us to ""go back home to Spain"" which, in their defense, was pretty funny because neither of us are from anywhere close to there. Good luck running a restaurant in the heart of Camden without accepting foreigners.Needless to say, we were absolutely baffled at the situation but it did result in us finding VietAnh on Parkway, which was fantastic.

I am still upset about the experience. To begin, the server was clearly racist, as we were treated completely different than the group of Hispanics that was seated next to us. We had to repeatedly ask him for refills on drinks and our food took over 45 minutes to come out. When our order arrived, one of the meals was incorrect. The waiter rudely snatched the dinner off of the table, said something under his breath and went into the kitchen. At this point, my friend was scared to even eat the next plate that came out 15 minutes later. We continued on with our dinner, having to ask for napkins, more drinks, salsas ect...ect.... Horrible service. We split our bill into 2 separate checks, thinking our friend that received the wrong dinner then had to wait an additional 15 minutes for her correct order would not be charged for her dinner. WRONG!!! When I asked for a manager, the waiter was extremely rude stating "" Oh my God, you people always have something to complain about"". EXCUSE ME You people Now I'm livid. The joke of a manager comes to our table and we explained to him that the dinner we ordered was wrong, we had to wait an additional 15 minutes for the correct food to come out and we were already done eating by the time our friends food came. His response was ""I have no way to prove you had to wait 15 minutes for your food"". Again, EXCUSE ME The first order was wrong, he should have taken the dinner off of the bill. Our bill was well over 150.00! I explained to him that the server also made a very unprofessional, racist remark when we asked to speak to a manager. The manager told me again that this is not something that I could prove. WHAT A JOKE!!! I literally thought we were being punked. I encourage everyone to go to the Lalos on Harlem instead of this joke of a restaurant. They are RACIST, unprofessional, extremely rude/slow service and the manager must have received his customer service training off of the side of a cereal box. The funny part is, my boss sent me here to see if this is where he should host our yearly vendor dinner. NO WAY!!! Absolutely NOT! This restaurant should be closed. I asked the manager for the corporate phone number, which he refused to give me. He then acted like he didn't understand English after I said that I would be contacting the owner of the restaurant to tell him about our experience that night. He told me to do whatever I wanted.

the waitress even saw this after we reported it,if you are asked is everything ok and you answer honestly then expect to resolve the issue she brought some olive oil etc so starters not a good start no pun includedMain course 2 of us had pizzas and the wife had Penne/Pollo arrabiatta, and salmon. myAmerican hot pizza looked good until i tried to cut it the dough consistency was wrong and their so called hot chilies could of been given to a child again got it badly wrong my wife pasta the bowl was the size of a spaceship sadly there was not even 100 grams of warm not hot pasta and as for the chicken , well that must of ran off the plate before she ate it !, the chips and gratin potatoes were left and not touched were absolutely soaked in fat oil, we paid our bill and the waitress apologised that we had had a bad experience but called the owner so he would be aware of the issues to make sure it would not happen again, he introduced himself and we told him as above honestly he saw the food left on the table said sorry and acknowledge the facts and offered us a drink on the house, we said at the time its not about the money and we don't want anything free, we want it right and for you to strive on but rectify the issues we paid left a 5 tip to the waitress but not for the food, at no time was the offer I'm sorry we won't charge for the chip potatoes or anything , so again to them its about the money !Got home and obviously the man had told his wife that we had a bad experience and then came the barrage of racist comments remarks which she texted us on Messenger which i will reproduce and seeking legal advise let alone going to put it out in the Italian community, 00:28I find Italian customers quiet offensive I'm sorry but we always always pick up problems with them I actually find the food in eye much better than Hampton on certain dishesI'm sorry your friends feel that way but I'm sure they will feel the same if they come to Hampton because I do not have an Italian chef but a good chef does not need to be Italian Both my Chefs in both places are amaxing and can cook any cuisineThank u Carol But I'm aware of who they were and they have a family member who own an Italian in town My husband and I always pick up problems when we have Italians because they feel because we not Italian we can't run an Italian restaurant or if we don't have an Italian chef we can't cook either I can guarantee u if there was an Italian chef that would not be the caseU are always welcome my lovely But unfortunately it always happens when we have Italians dinning !because my friend was English she was invited back but because of my Italian genealogy 56 years old born and bred in UK i was not welcomed , i have never been in their before not met either of them and will certainly not be going back.So now you can see the racism and bitterness of a frustrated Portuguese owner trying to cook Italian for people when she clearly does not understand constructive criticism and diplomacy in management and again its all about the money !!!! well why didn't they open a Portuguese restaurant !! i tell you why because it wouldn't work ! so you play at Italian food you insult the general public saying we don't know what were on about, you never kick any one in the teeth on the way up because people like you will definitely meet them on the way down she is a very bitter twisted person that threw a racist card in for no apparent reason and all good things come to those who wait !!!!" -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg190454d1955687r585096161CafeEilesVienna.html,Date of visit: June 2018,Europe,Austria,Vienna Region,Iran,very shameless place,"this place has an impolite staff. he throws our orders on the table, without any fork and knife!!he throws our drinksHonestly, I think it was racist. cause he was good with otherswe are surprised about this behavior" -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg190454d1955687r565276130CafeEilesVienna.html,Date of visit: March 2018,Europe,Austria,Vienna Region,unknown,Very nice caf,"Typical Viennese coffee house.

I speak fluent Italian and I understand the Italian culture thoroughly. My friend and her uncle were visiting Rome for a week and it was their first time out of the country. For their last evening in Italy they wanted to eat at a restaurant that offered authentic Roman pasta dishes. They saw reviews for this restaurant and decided to celebrate their last evening there. What a mistake! We walked in and no one even greeted us, one of the men at the front just told us to go sit down. We found a table and had to wait at least 15 minutes until someone came over and decided to take our order.Our waitress was extremely unfriendly and had a terrible attitude. She was not willing to answer our questions and gave brief, unhelpful responses. My friend and her uncle do not speak Italian so I had to translate for them. My friend's uncle asked some details about the steak, how it was cooked, how big it was and generally if it was recommended. When I asked her about it she responded, ""It's a steak,"" and turned away to help the table next to us. We ended up ordering 3 pasta dishes, and asked for bread to be brought to the table. When the bread was brought out about ten minutes later, my friend's uncle asked if it was possible to have some butter or oil to go along with the bread. The waitress got offended and said ""We don't have butter and oil is only brought out for those who order salad"". Now I understand that bread and butter is not an Italian custom, but we are paying customers and deserve to be treated with respect. I look at the table next to us Italians and they have a bottle of oil with NO SALAD.The next part of this nightmare was when the pasta was finally brought out and my friend's uncle asks for salt and pepper. The waitress responds, ""I don't understand why he wants salt and pepper. It doesn't make sense."" I tell her, ""He wants salt and pepper, why can't he have it"" She gets angry and walks away.At this point the table next to us are giving us dirty looks and acting like they are much superior, which was really awful.Once we finished our meal, the waitress came back over to take our plates. As I was asking my friend and her uncle if they wanted coffee or amaro, the table next to us started making snarly comments about us which made the waitress laugh in our faces. She then asks impatiently, ""Well do you want coffee or what 1, 2, 3 coffees I need to know."" To which I reply, ""We are deciding! And we've decided we just want the check to get out of here!"" It then takes her about 15 minutes to bring us the check.The waitress did not once smile at us throughout our meal, or show any hospitality. I have never met any waitress as rude as her. I will NEVER step foot in this restaurant again. I am disgusted at the way we were treated. This waitress and the guests next to us were very racist and treated us like we were the scum of the earth. But why Because my friend asked for butter Because he wanted saltI have never been so angry with humanity before. This place is a disgrace.

When trying to ask for non meat options in the menu just salad really the waiter started shouting at him saying that ""indians"" annoy him as they dont eat anything.

The waiter said it was a short bill to pay with credit card and left us alone waiting for more than 15m. When we ask again to pay, he started to speak out loud with other waiters that we should have some sort of signal as foreigners.

They were little reluctant to meet at Art Caffe claiming they always get terrible service because they are Kenyans. I did not belive it until I saw it with my own eyes. My friends were little ahead of me as I was fininshing my phone call. They walked in and two hostesses ignored them completely and were busy talking to each other. When one of my friend asked for a table they looked at her and went back to talking to each other without answering her. They finally told them it would be a wait for a table. My friends waited by the counter without anyone bothering to see if they needed anything. I decided to watch from outside while I finished my phone call. When I walked in few minutes later both girls jumped up and were all over me wanted to help. I asked for a table of 5 and was shown to a table immediately without a wait. My friends joined me with I told you you so grin on their face. When our meal was done they gave me the bill. I guess because I am a Mzungu they expect me to pay for my poor Kenyan friends who happens to be much better off then myself. I am totally embarrased that there's still place like this that treat locals poorly and treat white/Asian face better because of the color of the skin. Management owners better get a grip on this as we are only a visitor in their country. -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg294207d2287737r152600729ArtcaffeNairobi.html,Date of visit: February 2013,Africa,Kenya,Nairobi,Nairobi,Racism and selective discrimination at Art Caffe,"This is my friends experience and enough to warrant me NEVER TO GO THERE! and its been shared across social media Facebook and I to went through the same nonsense and said to myself...maybe its a bad day but this got me thinking....no...they've done it again. ..!!! so here's what she had to say..

When I interrupted and asked if he had something to say directly, he froze and scurried off to another table.We left soon after and spent the money at a few of the MANY MANY restaurants in the area that choose to appreciate the business. We had planned to spend a 34 hours sampling items and enjoying the evening...Jerky McJerkaton ruined that right quick...food wasn't terrible...but the rude treatment and racist words to my wife were NOT acceptable.

Was quite keen to try this restaurant based on the reviews and the food looked like a unique take on German cuisine. The first time we approached we understood there was a party from 4pm from the sign so we just wanted to check if it was over it was close to 7. The service staff smoking outside just brusquely told us that there was a party, fair enough. We then asked when it would be over, at which point he rather sarcastically said ""next week"". We tried again during lunch the next day and saw one empty table near the door. Unfortunately the same person was there again and he asked brusquely again whether we had reservation. When we said no he just said they were full. Okay, the table may or may not be reserved bit this guy is just rude. He could have explained to us reservations only but nope. Also his demeanor just put us off and we did feel he was probably racist from the vibe he was giving off so if you didn't reserve he ain't obliged to act like a decent person. For context we were told by another restaurant nearby that they are full and we didn't mind it because the lady didn't seem like she was being intentionally mean." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg528977d3893294r566378945HunkyDorysattheWharfKiamaKiamaMunicipalityNewSouthWales.html,Date of visit: March 2018,South Pacific,Australia,New South Wales,unknown,Extremely rude and terrible services,Extremely rude and terrible services.

It was totally unexpected from a restaurant that considers itself high endYesterday evening I went there with a friend for dinner. We sat outside but no one came to take our orders. After 10 minutes, we went inside to call on a waiter. We finally caught the attention of one waitress but she immediately barked at us with a very rude tone asking/demanding who let you in who allowed you to come in. Baffled we asked what she meant. She went on to say, we had told the gatemen not to allow anyone inside until the people who are already inside are all served. We were puzzled as this totally did not make sense there was a large group inside the resultant but there were several unoccupied tables both inside and outside. I asked her to call the manager but she said he is not around. I asked for the owner or the cook and owner but was told that is not possible because she is busy. When I started my rant on how rude her treatment is and that if they are hosting a private party they should politely inform us, the manager who was according to her not there came and asked us what was wrong. When I started to explain what happened. He then asked Min felegachu new, rat felegachu new what do you want, is it dinner this response irritated me because i it was obvious why we were there and ii min felegachu new is something you say to a stranger that has come to your house unannounced at an odd hour not to a restaurant guest during the restaurants open hour. But he asked her what is going on. The waitress then explained to him that she has been instructed not to let anyone in until the crowd inside is served. When he proposed going inside the kitchen to talk to the cook owner, the waitress immediately objected and said no way, she is going to scold us and we will get in trouble. All this conversation between the manager and the waitress was happening in front of us and we were still not seated. But the whole situation escalated when two foreigners walked in at that time. The manager politely asked them whether they have a reservation. The guests said no and manager said, no problem, please come in. We left at that point after giving the manager and the waitress our piece of mind.I have come across service providers in the hospitality industry, like waiters, giving more attention and priority to foreign clients. In some places, the quality and swiftness of services you get actually differs deteriorates when there is a foreigner around in a different group/crowd. But I dont remember the last time I have come across such blatant, absolutely rude and borderline racist reception and handling in my own city. As we say in Amharic, Ke fitfitu, fitu.I have decided to never dine at Mamamia and have asked my friends and colleagues not do so as well." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg187265d2193399r152989007AlaTrabouleLyonRhoneAuvergneRhoneAlpes.html,Date of visit: February 2013,Europe,France,AuvergneRhoneAlpes,"Athens, Greece",Disgusting racists!,"I was passing by with my sister and we decided to have dinner in this place.

Another waiter came to us and when I asked him to explain to me something on the menu that I didn't know he was looking at me strangely and he started making funny comments against us in french with his colleagues. Obviously, because of our nonfrench accent he thought that we couldn't understand what he was talking about. My sister asked him why he made such comments about our accent and he went silent. She told him twice that he a racist and he didn't deny it. We walked away very upset. Our night was almost ruined.

Who in this world would so that You first serve a drink and then say you shouldn't drink it. My friend is 30 and we well above the age limit. I seriously had a bitter time arguing with them. Would definitely wont enter their premises in my life. I felt how they discriminated us just because of the skin color and the place we r from. ! -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg186408d5267623r635676408TheTurlsGreenBradfordWestYorkshireEngland.html,Date of visit: November 2018,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,unknown,Usual drink,"One of the waste bar in Bradford.

Sport Shorts Forbidden.,"Went into Wetherspoon's at 12pm before my girlfriend and I did our gymnastic training. It was dark, smelled like urine and the floor was sticky, but we thought it didn't matter because we wanted cheap food to give us a bit of energy for our sport. I went up to the bar and instantly turned away. The explanation of why we couldn't be served was: BAR STAFF: Sorry I can't serve you.ME: Ok, whyBAR STAFF: Because of your shorts.I paused for a few seconds while I tried to understand what he meant. He then walked away and served someone else. Firstly, I fully understand the whole no sports clothes thing because it's linked to a certain type of person and if I had come into the place a few hours later maybe after 5pm or 6pm I would accept it, but this was noon time and the place was half empty. My other issue was that while me and my girlfriend were rejected service because we were dressed for the sport we were about to partake in, the group of 10, drunk, urine soaked, jean wearing old men shouting racist abuse to an foreign family outside the window, creating an intimidating environment for other customers are perfectly acceptable. I understand there are a lot of racist people in Bradford but the staff and security upstairs being so openly ignorant of this is unacceptable... in my opinion of course." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg580339d8019114r598201097RivierabyElioSpiezCantonofBern.html,Date of visit: July 2018,Europe,Switzerland,Canton of Bern,"Portland, Oregon","Terrible service m, racist waiter ",Just had dinner with mom in this restaurant The waiter who served us was not helpful at all.

I suggested that I could read for him or if he had no trust to me, his assistant could read instant of him who had already read. He shouted me again if I did not understand in French, he renewed that forgot his glasses and could not read. I told that I understood him and reminded that he was not listening to me. Then two rude clients with Spanish accent who were most likely his friends, smirkingly told me ""TU ES ETRANGER ET ZERO POUR LUI, CET HOMME A DE LA SUCCES ET IL SEN FOUT"", which means ""You are foreigner and null for him, this man is very successful and dont care"", moreover they said me TU instead of VOUS, in the meantime Tony Gomez was chuckling to me like a Victorian. Then he showed me the exit. They were being seemed like they were expecting an apology from me. I was deeply disappointed.

Two of our group entered the small bar while the others took a seat outside on the surprisingly many empty tables. The waiter approached the two who had entered the bar and shouted 'excuse me, out of my way'. In a typical English way they apologised, despite not being in the wrong, and the barman told them to take a seat outside and they would come and serve us. They never did, and the aggressive waiter came over and shouted at our group for moving a table less than a foot to accommodate our group of six.

As the manager approached our table he screamed at us 'WHAT IS GOING ON WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM!' My friend stayed calm and delicately explained the situation and the manager kept interrupting saying 'no other customers have a problem with this' etc. He eventually aggressively grabbed the plate after screaming at us without us able to get a word in and as he did so I think he muttered something quite racist under his breath. Absolutely disgusting behaviour. He never returned and my friend had to pick at our meals which were fine nothing special.

I ordered a takeaway online, everything seemed fine the payment went through. I then received an email from their payment service, to tell me that the payment had been refunded. I called them asked them why, they said they do not deliver to my address bearing in mind they have delivered before it is 3 miles away. At this point, I had already paid the delivery fee. I also left a note to the ""restaurant"" to say could they please come up my driveway knock on the caravan door at the back. I thought this was strange they said they couldn't deliver to my address, seeing as they had before. Assume it is because they have a dislike for travellers. I then decided to order a takeaway elsewhere, when my card was declined. I then called Al Karim's back, I spoke to a man on the phone, I asked him why the money has not been refunded back into my account, to which his response was ""it takes up to 24 hours, I think"" I then said to the man I need to know a definite answer or when the money will be returned, he then said it could take up to 34 hours. I told the man I needed to know a definite answer, as this is completely unacceptable also mentioned my point about not delivering to the address because living in caravan. I asked to speak to the manager, but he said he was not there. He said he will look into this for me then give me a call back. He called me back, said it will be in my account within 24 hours said he will pass this on to the manager for me. Overall, this has been my worst ever experience with a takeaway, especially when all I wanted was a kebab now I've got to wait 24 hours to get my money back all because this takeaway is RACIST. I'm also quite sure you can get adequate food from another takeaway who isn't RACIST. " -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg294229d2429028r173879304JayaPubJakartaJava.html,Date of visit: August 2013,Asia,Indonesia,Java,unknown,Shocking management,"Firstly the positives This pub looks great, walking through the doors was like stepping back in time. You just don't get pubs like this any more. The two bands who were playing the night we were there were also very good, playing alternating sets every hour and ramping up the energy and atmosphere with each set. Finally, having draft bintang on tap made a nice change from the bottled beer I've got used to over the last ten months in Asia.Now for the negatives The food was overpriced. It was ok, don't get me wrong, but you can eat much better food for far less money elsewhere. Secondly, the management are terrible and their bad attitude and rudeness to nonregular customers ruins the place completely. At the start of the night I would have loved to have given this place 5/5, by the end i was left with little choice but to leave a bad review.Let me explain why; we arrived early, at around 7pm and there were no other customers in there. We asked for a food and drink menu and ordered a couple of beers and some food they told us it wouldn't get busy until 9pm so we thought we may as well stay and eat there to make sure we get a table. We knew it was quite expensive but were happy to stay as the place seemed good.As it started to get busy, and the bands came on, the older lady working the bar began to circulate the area approaching anybody without a full glass and asking if they wanted another. Normally this would be seen as just good service, but it was done in a way that left you in no doubt that not buying another drink would see you asked to leave. After 3 hours of drinking we decided we didn't want any more beers but would just stay and enjoy the music. The woman told us she would close our bill and hinted at the door. This kind of prehistoric attitude doesn't exist in pubs at home any more, or bars anywhere else in Asia for that matter. There was no consideration for the fact we had already spent over 600,000 Rupiah in there!We were a bit taken aback by that but tried to laugh it off. When the bill came, however, everything on it was more expensive than it had appeared on the menu at the beginning of the night, with tax and service added on top for good measure. The tax and service we could live with, its pretty standard in Indonesia. But the pretax price for everything was considerably more than we had been shown at the start of the night. A regular who was sitting next to us and talking to us throughout the night balked at the bill when he saw it and asked if he could check it for us a sure sign that they are known to 'make mistakes' with the bill regularly. In his words, 'that bill looks VERY expensive'. When the manager saw him doing this she came over and aggressively asked if there was anything wrong. We explained the situation and she returned with a menu with stickers over the original prices and said 'these are our prices'. Now, I would be willing to believe that this was an honest mistake but there is no way that they could have given both me and my girlfriend a menu with the wrong and cheaper prices by mistake when we were the only people in the bar at the start of the night. They had us marked down as travellers at the start of the night, and decided to try and make a bit of extra money out of us. The fact that the regular customer sitting next to us wanted to check our bill for us suggests they do this regularly, as did the attitude of the staff to us all night and the fact that they tried to put our card through for payment without a signature or asking me to enter my pin number. The review below says this is a colonial pub with a racist attitude towards Indonesians. I disagree, a lot of the customers were Indonesians. This is a colonial pub with a bad attitude towards nonregular customers. If you live in Jakarta and drink regularly you will be treated like an old friend, if you are passing through and looking for a good night out go elsewhere they will try and rip you off and treat you with contempt." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg294229d2429028r161806423JayaPubJakartaJava.html,Date of visit: May 2013,Asia,Indonesia,Java,unknown,Colonial place with racist colonial service,"Was looking for a good last night out in jakarta before leaving and came here after reading the good reviews. Unfortunately this turned out to be the worst decision of my trip. Started out promising with good location right smack in the city, awesome decor and atmosphere. However it went downhill from there. Manager led us to a corner table where we had to climb on the barchairs to get in to sit. Even though half of the place was empty. Everything non alcoholic was out except for coke and orange juice when we askedhad too much much to drink the night before. To be fair, the alternating bands were decent and played slow oldies, our taste! Food was a letdown though, I've had better food throughout my trip at a fraction of the prices.Worst part of the experience was paying the bill, manager stood beside us I've never been treated like I have no money to pay before in any restaurant in my life and the worst was right after settling the bill, less than a min the waiter literally shouted at us to leave, just because he needed my chair for another table. This despite just having spent usd30/person.My conclusion: Colonial place with biased colonial service, racist place for caucasians to find company. Decent music, but I've found much better places with quality music, food definitely service in the north.

She said all nice tables were reserved but obviously not reserved. All nonCaucasian customers are discriminated to be forced to sit back side.

My friend and I went on Sunday, June 10, 2018 about 7:45 PM. I have had great service and food in the past, but on this night it was a bad experience . The restaurant was not busy, a usual Sunday night, with adequate serving staff. It took 30 minutes for our waiter take our order. While we were asking questions about the menu the waiter's attitude was impatient and not caring. However a party of 5 Persons next table over, who were of Asian Chinese were cared for by our same waiter with a smile, the waiter dished their food on each guest plate, he communicated asking questions, and giving the party of 5 the royal treatment. Mean while ignoring my friend and I at the next table as we died of thirst. We just wanted a refill on our water which another waiter finally brought at the end of our meal. I mentioned to the other waiter that we were being neglected by our waiter he stated that our waiter was very busy with the party of 5. I don't often say people are racist nor do I ever feel this often in Miami, but I am African American and my friend is Puerto Rican, we are both carmel complexion. On the way out I notice the hostess said good night to all those leaving except to my friend and I. Another reason why I am giving this racist restaurant one star is because the prices are outrageous now, compared to a few years ago the peaking duck was 40, now it is 75. A small plate of Bok choy is now 16 I am sure it's not organic. I will not be supporting this restaurant in the future.

The meat of my accompagn Swiss born was delicious and tender and my meat I'm Austrian was totally different in quality, we both found it inedible. We told the service person and after some quarreling I was served some new meat. The second serving was not only totally burnt on both sides, it was tasting totally different from both kinds of meat we had tried before even though we should have gotten the same meat, it tasted like it was pork this time. I'm not fond of pork meat at all and on top of it it was totally burnt as said and so I had to leave the whole piece untouched. But the worst part came when I was leaving first after ordering the bill to be able to get our cinema tickets in time. The owners of the beiz had apparently started shouting racist insults at me behind my back for not eating their rotten meat and for not keeping quiet after they had served me inedible meat the first time. They did that in front of my accompagn but apparently were too cowardly to do the same thing with me still there.Apparently they do serve good food sometimes too if you're lucky and not from another country than Switzerland, it seems, but after my terrible experience I would recommend noone, especially not a traveller, to waste their time and money there because they're so many restaurants in Zurich that rely on quality and refrain from insulting their own customers." -Restaurant,https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviewsg503775d4059924r593213830TheIvoryPegChelmsfordEssexEngland.html,Date of visit: July 2018,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,"Colchester, United Kingdom",Racist floor staff.,Was consistently starred at by the manager and was made to feel very uncomfortable.

We talked to the waiter just 2mn after ordering, he replied that it was impossible because the software didn't allow cancelling an item. I asked for a manager to help us because he was obviously not trying hard, but he said there is no manager there. He was talking in a very rude way, and insisting that we should go to our hotel to take our wallet and come back, even though it would take 30mn.After his refusal to change the order, we decided to leave. My boyfriend was outside when the waiter came back and told me to ""fuck off"" in a very aggressive way. The guy started shouting at me and abusing me. My boyfriend came back and the waiter started picking a fight by shouting that he should not come there and act as a tourist if he had no money to spend my boyfriend is from India and this comment was clearly racist.A few seconds later, we were in the middle of the street and 2 other waiters were standing there, watching with their arms crossed, while the waiter was threatening to beat up and kill my boyfriend. I was trying to separate them and calm things down, and i got pretty scared that he would beat us both as he was pushing us and was clearly up for a fight. No need to add that this experience left a very bitter taste, as it was not only the consequence of one waiter being rude, but of the fact that none of his colleagues stepped in.

We replied we are from Dublin Ireland. To which he replied well just dont leave without paying! The american ladies behind us were shocked. WE were insulted however laughed it off. But to add further insult to injury when a diner returned to the restaurant looking for her misplaced iphone the comedian went on to inform the other diners that perhaps the irish took it!!!! Not funny! Not a comedian. More like the village idiot. Having complained to the manager we were informed that his waitor is just crazy! NO. He is not crazy but he is RACIST!!!

They would come to your table.. Deliberately delaying as much as possible.. They have mentioned wifi access free for guests.. Which if you ask, they shall tell you, its not operational, and surprisingly all the foreigners are busy using the same.. After denying wifi.. A foreigner who entered probably only for wifi usage.. Ordering the usual lemon tea.. Was given the password..and she left after 45 mins only sipping onto the lemon tea. Our bill was good enough to combine all the foreigners who had come only for wifi.

My first comment to my friend was look what a nice family, I am so happy that some Roma are so nicely integrated. They apparently came from some kids event as their two daughters had some animal make up, really sweet and well behaved girls. In that moment the head waitress came to them and told them that the restaurant kitchen is closed for maintenance as a hygiene control will come tomorrow and that she cannot serve them any food. They looked really disappointed and as they chose a table next to us, we could hear the entire conversation. The Roma family was very polite even if somehow puzzled. Of course that not even 5 minutes later two other tables got filled and they were served normally. We complaint to our waitress who distanced herself from the management behaviour saying this was just a part time job for her. At least there is some hope in the young generation. I have to say that the guests who were not served were absolutely polite all the time and there was not a hint of any problem in the past. They were Roma and as it has been the case in some Czech restaurants that is enough of a reason for the management to pretend that the kitchen is closed.

We decided to have dinner at ""Royal Fish."" Upon ordering, I had noticed a worker possibly the manager engage in a few offensive Chinese mimicry as the Chinese customers in front of him were discussing with one another what to order. His fellow workers, the two women cackled. I was at first, most appalled and taken back by this blatant racism, but decided, but I had decided to not start conflict on this day as my family were with me. Then during the meal, while eating, I had witnessed another deplorable incident ensue. One Chinese man was taking his tray to the open area as there were no more seats left. The same worker manager told him that he had to bring it back. The Chinese man assured him he would bring it back. As soon as his back was turned, the manager engaged in another mimicry, rallying laughter with customers. There was so much that I could let slide before this racism surpassed my limits. I decided to discreetly mention it to a different coworker who could pass along the message. I wanted to approach this in a more subtle approach assuming it could be resolved quietly and quickly. Yet, to my surprise, he had accused me of hearing wrong and kept saying ""no"" repeatedly in my face. As a customer service oriented place, I was more than appalled at his behaviour and response. I understood his position to want to defend his work place, but his unmitigated gull of dismissing my paying customer accusations and belittling me in front of others was absolutely humiliating. As a worker, I find that the Chinese tour groups are one of the top contributors to sales, so to be racist, seems ironic. Furthermore, standing by Markthal's appreciation of multiculturalism through diverse restaurants and stands, this an abhorrent act. I expect nothing short of a proper apology because this has been one of the worst experiences in the Netherlands and it is an unnecessary experience my family will take back with them.

I contacted Jack's corporate and still have yet to hear an apology. I'm Asian by the way and feel my money is not welcomed here. After years of giving my hard earned money, and family dinners and lunches, that comes out to 3,000.The fact they continue to employ this RACIST host means they condone this behavior.

You will not find a single bad word said about Mandela here. A museum's goal is to inform, not pander to.

To get a comprehensive background of the racerelations and political history of the nation, this museum is a must. It is inexpensive and you could easily spend 3 or 4 hours inside. The organization of the exhibits can get a bit confusing, so you may have to do some backtracking, however, they offer a map at the ticketing counter to help. If you get hungry and feel yourself starting to breeze through some of the interesting parts of the museum, there is a small cafe towards the middle where you can get some food and recharge. After visiting this museum, you should have a better understanding of what Apartheid is, how it came to be, and how it came to be no more.

I only had 2 hours and found that it was not enough time. The museum forcefully confronts the development of racial segregation as it leads to what became Apartheid. The history of the English and Dutch settlers, and how they interacted with and ultimately dominated the native tribes, is explored in frank and moving ways. The museum also covers the student uprising starting in 1976, the reconciliation period starting in 1990 which led to Mandelas release and the ultimately the new Constitution and elections that ended the Apartheid era. I would suggest spending some time in the room with the film of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which shows a critical piece of the process of how the country moved peacefully away from the Apartheid era.

The exhibition traces this from the establishment of the African intellectual tradition, through the move to Africanism, Pan Africanism, Black Consciousness, the student movements and official resistance and oppression. The exhibition has some very poignant moments. The medical evidence and the findings of the South African Medical and Dental Council which finally struck Dr Tucker off the role are shocking, even to people who remember the newspaper account. The comments of Minister Jimmy Kruger on the death of Biko are horrifying. The tributes to Biko by various public figures in widely diverse spheres are very moving.

The place tells the story of the rise and fall of that horror called apartheid which separated whites from other racial groups and in the process oppressed people of other races in South Africa. The museum tells the story mainly through pictures and words with supporting videos and artifacts. It takes a fair amount of attention to follow the many complexities involved. I kept thinking I was missing important elements as it was sometimes difficult to follow the signage from location to location. That was aggravated by a special exhibit on Nelson Mandela located near the entrance that seemed to be organized topically rather than chronologically. That made it hard to follow. We literally kept losing our way through the museum and through the unfolding events of the story.

Akani Egoli Gold Reef City, put the winning bid, which included a commitment to build the Apartheid Museum and the casino was built just beside it. The Apartheid Museum documents the struggle for freedom during the period of racial oppression in South Africa.The National Party came to power in 1948 in a surprise election victory. There were many reasons why it triumphed, but one of the major reasons for it was that it offered segregation of the races in simple, easytograsp terms.This was taken to such a height that the South African Bureau for Racial Affairs was launched. This led directly to a number of racial laws, including the Population Registration Act, which assigned every person to a racial category; and the Group Areas Act, which enforced separate urban areas for each race group.There were countless other repressive measures. It was a crime to strike and freedom of movement was severely curtailed. 'It was a crime to walk through a whitesonly door,' wrote Nelson Mandela, 'a crime to live in a certain area and a crime to have no place to live'.Apartheid led to growing resistance, which brought greater oppression and a reign of terror by the security establishment. It is this struggle for freedom that is the focus of the Apartheid Museum at Gold Reef City in Johannesburg.Set on 21 acres of land, superbly landscaped grounds, this historical museum has 22 exhibition areas designed by a team of curators, filmmakers and historians.

I was going to take the course through PADI in Cedar Rapids. However, since I live in Iowa City and DiVentures is closer to me, I chose DiVentures. It turned out to be a biggest mistake. Heres my experience. 1The store operation was very disorganized. No one ever picked up phone calls, forcing me to drive there to get my questions answered. What ridiculous was that different staff gave me different answers for the same questions. One staff told another student the open water dive check began at 8 am in Cedar Fall, whereas it started at 9 am. My impression was that those staff had never been properly trained. In addition, no one ever informed me the schedule of classes and open water dive check. Only until the minute that the class started, I knew the schedule, interrupting all my own plan. The store only gave out the schedule at the last minute. Even worse, the store failed to follow its own lastminute schedule. The swimming pool reserved for the course was not open as scheduled. It asked us to meet at the swimming pool at 8 am on Sunday, had us wait outside of the swimming pool for 2 hours, and then told us it couldnt find any personnel to open the swimming pool. The whole Sunday was ruined. I paid 500 and imagined getting a decent training, but solely get crappy experience. 2It closed the store early without any notification, so I couldnt return the rental gear when I arrived the store. After my open water dive check on Sunday, the instructor who is also the store manager refused to open the store and take the rental gear back in the same day. Therefore, I returned the gear next day at my earliest time possible. When I arrived the store, a note was posted on the door saying that the store had to close early due to staff illness. The open water dive check instructor/store manager knew that we are going to return gear that day. However, she didnt email/message us the early closure of the store. I complained the early closure without notification to the CEO of the company. He said to me, is it you first time to encounter a store closed early No wonder the whole store was disorganized. If the tone at the top is to deny the wrongdoing, its not surprising that the store doesnt have any standard. 3Whats worse. Its instructors made racial comments/jokes. In the incidence that no personnel opened the swimming pool for the class, the instructor shouted out loudly, its more acceptable when white people screwed up. I complained it to the CEO. He thought I just made up stories. If you are a people with color, think twice before you choose DiVentures. Moreover, from its own staff, I learned that the retail price of DiVentures scuba gear is twice of the manufacturing cost. If youre economical, think twice before making purchase from DiVentures. Check out cheaper equipment online. There are plenty available online. The class and open water dive check were so simple, and the depth was around 10 or 15 feet. You dont need expensive equipment for it. If you plan to dive in ocean, there are plenty local dive centers to rent you a full set of equipment. Plus, scuba fin is too big to fit in a baggage. Also, ask around the dive level before you choose DiVentures. I learned it the hard way. After I received my scuba diving certificate from DiVentures, my friend who earned a certificate from PADI compared our certificate. Although both of us are certified for Level 1, mine allows to dive only up to 60 feet, but hers would allow up to 100 feet. It must be that DiVentures split the Level 1 course in PADI into 2 different courses, so it could charge students another couple of hundred bucks. In sum, if you are new to scuba and want to have a pleasure training experience, stay away from DiVentures. Its disorganized operation, horrible leadership and racial discriminated instructors will ruin your scuba experience." +Attraction,Date of experience: July 2018,Europe,France,IledeFrance,unknown, employees who works in station are racial discrimination," in place monge station, I experienced racial discrimination. so if you have any question to employee who works in station, you would better to go another station." +Attraction,Date of experience: December 2017,Europe,Germany,Saxony,unknown,Culturalracial selectivity being practised here....,"We patronized 2 stalls and both stalls harboured staff who were inclined to be culturally selective.

This 3rd staff was definitely not doing it out of curiosity!Then we proceeded to the next stall to purchase gluhwein. I asked a guy about the gluhwein and was snubbed for a good few minutesand for good measure he turned his back on me! before he turned around to reply reluctantly.

What school in the world asks students to prove they've been bullied in the class It always and definitely is a school's job to protect students from any harassment and discrimination happen in within the organization and to conduct further investigation if any of the above happens. These kinds of passive reaction show how the school is thinking about students.

It was really good, but I want to comment about the 'racial equality' thing going too far AND I don't have a prejudice bone in my body. This story takes place in the early 1800's NOT the early 2000's. I couldn't get past the little black girl being part of Bob Cratchit's bloodline his daughter. And Scrooge's Nephew He couldn't have been more Asian if you had made it your numberone mission. Fezziwig's wife Then, make Fezziwig black!. Really Again, we are talking bloodline in the 1800's! I could not get past these things and it really disappointed me. Did NO ONE THINK OF THIS Or, is it just so important to be politically correct that all common sense is thrown out If being 'racially equal' is so important to you and I dont have any problem with that, then please do it in a way that makes sense to the period and to the TRUTH of the play. Being a part of this 'politically correct' era of 2018 doesn't mean you had to warp the play the way you did to show it. This disappointed me on so many levels ..... If you wanted to bring racial diversification into the play, there were so many better ways you could have done so: You could have shown it with all the friends at the Nephews' party, Scrooge's maid, or Jacob Marley, or ..... JUST KEEP THE BLOODLINES true and correct to the period, please. Was VERY happy to see the racial diversification where it did make sense. Please consider making this right in the future. It's a lot to pay for tickets to watch a play where the attempt to racially diversify turns into a joke and takes over the pleasure of watching your play something that makes ABSOLUTELY NO sense and shouldn't have happened.

We recently went for a oneweek ski vacation, renting a lovely chalet Unterberg 153 with my wife, children and their young families. The people were generally nice and the skiing was good, until we run into the gondola police. On the third day of our vacation, our two sons decided to stay back and take care of the babies instead of skiing. So my wife and one of our daughtersinlaw borrowed their ski passes to go up the mountain to enjoy the view. Little did we know that this was not allowed in Austrian ski resorts. We later found out that there is a sign in German informing the public that ski passes are not exchangeable, but nothing in English to warn foreign tourists. So when my darkskin wife and our blond daughterinlaw went to take the gondola up to the mountain, one of them was controlled and fined 50 Euros. What was most upsettingin addition to being punished for not understanding Germanwas that the supposedly random check left the blond passenger alone and focused on the darkskin person. So here is my advice to you based on this unpleasant racial profiling experience: Grossarl is a nice ski destination if you speak German, but if you dont you may want to think twice about going there, especially if your skin color designates you as a foreigner!" +Attraction,Date of experience: July 2018,United States,Michigan MI,Northville,unknown,Clerk's with racial issues Putting In Bets.,This was the most low class experience that I have had.

That stance is unfortunate because she took great liberty on her choice of content and we had a tour with minimal facts about the building, its pathbreaking impact or how the architecture displayed Jefferson's concept of higher education. We got quite a bitand it was valuableon the role of enslaved staff and how they were treated. However, she used Pavillions I and III and the racial prejudices of two of the first faculty members as illustration without any attempt to mention anything positive about them or other personnages of that period. Then we heard a lot about student protests of the '60's and '70's and more recently, involving politics Vietnam and racial inequities based on the experience of a personal friend of hers. These are valid topics, certainly, but we were there to learn about the Rotunda, newly reopened after a long restoration, not politics. She covered Jefferson's involvement with Sally Hemings, an enslaved servant at Monticello, framing it as a scientically proven fact that he had fathered several children with her after his own wife had died, adding that the relationship was nonconsensualperhaps true but certainly not yet accepted fact. In any event, Jefferson's sexual proclivities had no place on a Rotunda tour; we can go learn about that at Monticello.

I believe all prospective customers should know how this casino condones racial discrimination before affording them the opportunity of your time and money. The CSM did contact me the day after the incident, however, no future action was taken. Hence, I emailed the director of HR on December 28 and still yet, no follow up. Hence, this casino has absolutely no respect for their customers and allows racial discrimination to occur.""My experience tonight has been such an eye opener and has motivated me to begin creating some changes for the upcoming year.Tonight, my family and I decided to go to Table Mountain for a fun outing. Upon arriving to the casino my cousin's and I decided to ask a server for a complimentary drink. After, the server allowed us to get a drink I noticed a hair in my cup. I politely told her there was a hair in the drink and she rudely responded, ""Well throw it away."" I then asked her can I have another one and she replied no and walked away. I followed her and asked her once again, nicely, ""May I have another drink."" She still persistently replied no. Then, I asked to speak to her manager and she responded, ""No you may not, but I'll take you to security."" I said no I'd like to speak to a manager. Seeing as a officer was right there she told him I was harassing her. The officer was very professional when I stated what happened and allowed me to speak with her supervisor. The supervisor informed me that it would be handled and offered me another drink.Moments later, a man walked up to my cousin's and I and asked to see ID Identification. We showed it to him and then he told us that he'll need them to run a check on it, we hesitantly agreed. Confused at what the ID was needed for since it was checked at the gate, he said that the server claimed we were harrasing her. We restated the same story. When speaking to him and restating the story he had such a biased facial epxression. Reluctantly, he let it go.Later into the night, another server came by and we asked for a water. She served everyone else around us expect us. So we decided to ask one more time. She rudely said, ""Wait."" And after she handed us water she went to speak to the officer behind a machine and asked him why haven't they kicked us out yet and that she wants to file a complaint on us. She then went to speak with the biased ""manager"" and told him ""her story."" As we clearly saw what was going on we decided to talk to him ONCE AGAIN. He was rude when telling us we need to, ""Be quiet and listen to him."" He stated that the 2nd server said that I knocked over her cart and took a water."" Extremely puzzled, I said that never happened I sat in the same seat, her cart was still in tack with all its items when she came over to speak with you. My family members once again defended me because they were EYE WITNESSES. The manager said he's been watching the survielence and I told him well if he was he would have seen that I never knocked her cart down. Then he told my family members and I we have to leave the premises immediately. I've never felt so discriminated against. How is it that I was attacked from the very first interaction.

The exhibits display the injustices suffered by the people, their hopes and their struggles to overcome them.Gandhi This display section shows how Gandhi got involved against injustice suffered by coloureds including Indians in South Africa and later in India against the British colonialists who meted out unfair and unjust treatment to his countrymen. The display include two of his possessions, his bicycle and the spinning wheel which he used to weave his own clothes. The exhibition highlights his nonviolent movement, Satyagraha to achieve independence for India. His life ended at the hands of an extremist.King Black citizens in USA were not treated equal to whites. White people had their own schools, shops, parks etc where black people were banned. The exhibition shows various events and Kings fights against these injustices committed against his people. The exhibition also displays a film about his life and resistance together with a display depicting his famous speech I have a dream. His vision was to see black and white children attending the same schools and playing together.Mandela fought against the apartheid regime in South Africa where blacks had no say whatsoever. Blacks could not live in white areas, seating in buses were segregated as well as in the churches. Mandela was imprisoned for 27 years at Reuben Island and was forced to work in a quarry. His greatness lies in his vision and achievement of racial harmony between black and white people. After he became the President of South Africa, by his actions he won the hearts of many white people. His true achievement is the present South Africa considered a rainbow nation where all persons of every race has equal opportunities.This exhibition was an eye opener for me and a great learning and thinking experience!

Built around 1941, the Carver Theatre was one of two exclusively black theaters in Columbia that showed movies and hosted weekly talent shows during the racial segregation era. The other black theater, the Capitol, has been demolished.The Carver continued to operate as a movie theater until 1971. Though its been commercially repurposed with a first floor renovation, the National Registerlisted structure still sports its distinctive vertical marquee and has many original features inside, including a slanting floor, a lobby with ticket booth, and a balcony with the original seating and lighting.

My husband and I felt like the guide we had was our teacher and we were in school to be taught about race relations. Yes, Uncle Toms Cabin was an important work by Stowe back before the Civil War, and it was interesting to see what led to her wanting or feeling compelled to write it, but from the moment we walked in to the Visitors Center to the moment we left her house, we felt like we were being judged on hw we could relate this novel to todays racial climate, including what novels we had read that were socially important somehow. The house had a homier feel than Twains but it was smaller and had been recently refurbished to feel like someone was living in it today.

We are writing an urgent complaint regarding the 2 tours we took with GLT tours in Rome from 15th July 2018 Rome by Night and 16th July Tivoli. Here are the highlights Paid for ONLY English means only English not English and SpanishWe had paid for an exclusive English speaking tour for 'Rome by Night' 'Tivoli with Adriana Villa'.On both the occasions, we had company of mixed Spanish and English speaking guides with majority emphasis given on Spanish words. If we exclusively have paid for English ONLY, then you cannot provide another substitute without prior knowledge for the same price. This is absolute wrong and termed as cheating.Rome by Night Tour was hopeless. The guide kept laughing at her own jokes and for no reason. We began to think she was drunk or too ignorant.The guide was very unclear when speaking English and was more loud and clear for Spanish making the English experience a disaster.The tour was mostly in Spanish and some of that was translated to English in blurry sentences.She could not pronounce the English words and had very little to talk about the history of Rome, its culture or any of her extended knowledge during the tour. It was mostly laughing her at own silly jokes which made the experience awkward and a disaster for us all as majority were English speaking tourists.Miss/Mrs. Samatha MacinatiWe are writing to urge you to remove/withdraw Miss/Mrs. Samatha Macinati from her existing or freelance contract job role of 'Tour Guide' GLT before further action is required to be taken by us.On 16th July, we took an exclusive English Speaking tour with her.Total of 64 assuming tourists were on board with 58/59 English and 5/6 Spanish.She began speaking more seconds per min for Spanish translation in the bus, and I understand that English words take longer to translate and even then her Spanish felt longer by the second. Other guests will agree with us. She skipped saying few important details about Tivoli in English which she mentioned in Spanish, and which other fellow tourists told us about later.We asked her to speak more elaborately in English upon arriving to Tivoli and she rudely answered that 'I am speaking in both'. She refused to even look at my father and me.This was clearly a racial behaviour. Here sudden favouritism to 6 Spanish tourists was beyond embarrassment for asking a simple request question to a tour guide. She was so blunt and rude and kept laughing at us, who were then the only Indian family with her on board.We believe she was thinking racially that we do not seem to understand her English which for your kind information was as hopeless as her attitude to Indian tourists and we disapprove of this behaviour. I have few other American witnesses, who were angry with her on the tour and are thoroughly disappointed with her rude, arrogant and overconfident attitude of a tour guide. Upon reaching Tivoli, she started purposely speaking more in Spanish and when she asked us all, 'how many Spanish people are here around', hardly few any hands were raised in the crowd.I pointed out, that 'this is what we mean', she arrogantly replied 'So what, they also paid for this too' and yelling at me instead, that 'Don't you know Spanish"" to me a tourist. I have witnesses who can confirm this behaviour.Her over friendly mode towards the 6 strangers was getting annoying to all other fellow tourists as she was only talking in Spanish during break time and we had common voice head phones attached to all our ears so we could only listen to Spanish and not even talk between ourselves during the common head phone tour.If we talk about payment assuming 64 guests, we English chosen tourists being majority, would hold 90 of your profit on 16th July. And yet, she chose to ignore us, 90 tourist request and kept mingling beyond limits required from a tour guide with the other 6 Spanish chosen tourists. We thought they were her family.My father started telling her to understand her customers requirements and pointing out that she was doing the wrong thing. So she immediately changed to being rude and arrogant with him. She demonstrated obvious raciest behaviour thinking that 'this Indian old man does not understand any English'. So she raised her hands in strongly disapproving motion to my father in front of everyone, when he was talking, and moved her head to the other side. Her behaviour startled and astonished my elderly father and all other people. I thought she was about to slap him. Her behaviour was uncalled for and very raciest.Miss/Mrs. Samantha Macinati, has no basic manners for customers, guests or elders. She is not fit to work for this job with tourists.She is highly raciest with her conclusion about my father and was inappropriately favouring the other 6 Spanish chosen language tourists during the entire 6/8 hours of the Tivoli tour.We have many witnesses who spoke to me and my family to share their disappointment about Miss/Mrs. Samantha Macinati and her arrogant attitude towards us.Upon reaching Rome, we and more tourists with us, went to speak with the reception staff at Green Line tours office who was very poor in supporting our complaint and instead telling us to leave. This was horrible experience at your office and we will inform all friends to never take the tour with you. To avoid further public embarrassment and rascal complaints on social media, I strongly suggest that you remove Samantha Macinati, from the position of GLT guide. She is not worthy of this position and is therefore creating a bad experience for all tourists. She is destroying the name of your business in Italy and worldwide. I have told this to everyone in my global contacts and they will also be spreading the news about Miss/Mrs. Samantha Macinati 'favouritism to Spanish and racism to Indian' behaviour and her links with Green Line tours. I request you to take this matter as top priority and take action as required. Your company's image and customer satisfaction is being misshandled by this employee. She has not only demonstrated racial behaviour towards my father in front of 64 international tourists but she has humiliated us for asking her to speak more in English and was very rude, obnoxious and arrogant with her biased favouritism to the only 6 Spanish tourists on board. Other guests were equally disappointed and angry with her attitude.

We got to visit the debate rooms also which was a bonus. The only issue I observed and felt very offended was when I was searched by the security guard whilst my family and other visitors who came in at the same time were not. Its racial discrimination as I am mixed black well black in their eyes while my family who were with me are Caribbean Indians. Also their were seemingly Scottish older visitors also who all were not searched by the security guard after going through the scanner. They cant claim that I had anything unlawful on me as the guard who allowed me to pass through the scanner said I always ok to go on yet the other security guard chose to search me ALONE amongst almost ten other visitors who came in just after including my family members. Racial discrimination will accomplish nothing in this land if people are so naive, and racist. Sorry but no sorry, it was very apparent. It seems some of these people still have a long way to go. Ignorance will accomplish absolutely nothing in this melting pot of a world we live in.

But if you know that from the start, you can still have a nice visit goldpanning. We'd seen other goldpanning establishments where the dirt you buy is 'seeded' with gems from around the world. We hoped this might be a little more authentic.You have to pay 1 each for visiting the 'museum mine' a clear rip off as the 'museum' comprises a shed with unidentified old tools in it. The information boards are illegible, and I left no wiser about goldpanning from the museum than when I arrived.However, we decided to do the goldpanning experience since we were in Alaska. The owner demonstrated how to pan and it was good we enjoyed sifting our dirt over the sluice trough and spotting our grains of gold which we got to keep. He showed us the techniques, it was a lovely sunny day, and we enjoyed ourselves.We wish the experience had ended there, but a younger woman got talking to us and the conversation revealed a level of racial and religious bigotry I have never before experienced. We felt really uncomfortable, and being handed a handwritten tract from the Koran as we left to 'prove' her bigoted opinions against Moslems did nothing to endear the place to us.

The store is full of native artworks, crafts, stone sculptures, jewelry, music, etc. However, following my visit in August 2018, this store has lost my patronage. My friends and I walked in looking to purchase a few specific items but the staff was completely disinterested in helping us. My friend asked for help and was abruptly cut off in mid sentence by a salesman who told her that he didnt have time at the moment to wait on her. And then we watched while he continued to schmooze another customer who was looking to buy big ticket jewelry items. As we waited for service, we proceeded to quietly browse around the shop until a younger sales lady snapped at another one of my friends; accusing her of taking photos of the stone carvings in one of their display cases which she was NOT doing at all... she was texting someone. There are signs everywhere telling customers not to take photos of the artwork they sell. They claim the reason is to protect the artists. As a side note, I fail to see how this policy protects anyone. Both the store and the individual artists who sell their works there are missing out on tons of free publicity and advertising by not allowing people to take photos of the artworks and share them. Also, if an instore customer knows someone who wants to buy a piece but they arent allowed to take photos, the store is losing out on a potential sale. Anyway, after this rude sales lady wrongly jumped all over my friend, an older man came out of nowhere and started to stalk our group around the store like we were shoplifting or something!! I finally said to hell with this place and we all walked out without purchasing anything. Later, we came to the conclusion that our poor treatment by the staff had been a case of racial profiling. 3 of the 4 of us are native and all of the staff we interacted with were white. And this store sells Native American ephemera. How ironic is that! And this whole episode bothered me enough that 4 months later, Im still thinking about it.

Really the only places we got to learn any was in the First African Baptist Church and here. While the museum certainly presents the negative aspects of race relations in Savannah Jim Crow, the KKK, overt discrimination, that was not the overall takeaway. I walked away inspired by the people who made the nonviolent movement work in the city. I learned about the sitins, boycotts and the movement to integrate Tybee Beach, none of which I had heard of before. The more well known civil rights leaders including Hosea Williams and MLK came to Savannah; however, I thought this museum did a great job of highlighting the lesser known heroes of the city's fight for equality. While I understand that the racial history of the city may be uncomfortable for many Savannah natives, it really seems that they have something to be proud of herea successful nonviolent movement that aided the progress toward racial equality in this country. These heroes should be celebrated, not relegated to a museum featured on the ""Savannah Off the Beaten Path"" list. The museum does not seek to blame or shame white Americans in fact, there is a whole panel dedicated specifically to white Americans who assisted in the movement. Instead, it seeks to educate and celebrate this important part of the city's history.After going through the museum, we spoke with Troy Lance, who was an attentive and helpful tour guide throughout our visit. We learned about the struggle to get this museum on the Dot route, on the mainstream tourism maps, and on the list of recommended museums by the Visitor Center which is only a few blocks away.

The main exhibit, ""from cotton fields to skyscrapers,"" is exciting and interactive with lots of hands on elements and audio history stations. The exhibit is attentive to the African American experience, racial diversity and women's history. However, don't expect much in the way of LGBT history, immigration, or information about other cultural communities of present day Charlotte. Don't miss the film at the beginning. It plays on a loop so make sure you stick around to watch the part you missed if you come in at the middle. It really sets the tone for the self guided tour. Definitely a good experience worth doing at least once. Interactivity would be beneficial for families with children. Spanish subtitles throughout the exhibit are nice to see. We are not Spanish speakers, but it is nice to see them trying to make the experience open to more people. Public Market next door is a bustling, but charming place to grab a bite.

While primarily focusing on Charlotte itself, it also touches on achievements and problems of the South in general. Being from the North, I found the information presented to be very educational and interesting.The museum's primary exhibit, ""Cotton Fields to Skyscrapers,"" starts in the mid 1800's during the cotton era and ends with modernday Charlotte. The exhibit does a great job educating the public about the financial and racial struggles the South has faced in it's past, while also pointing out it's enormous growth and success. Visitors really get a good understanding of how difficult it must have been to be a cotton farmer in the South, especially as a tenant farmer or sharecropper. The men and women of the past had to work so hard just to provide basic necessities like food and clothes for their families. It definitely makes you realize how fortunate we are today.The museum also does a good job at covering the Civil Rights Era and the boom of the Banking Industry in Charlotte that helped contribute to it's population explosion. The museum also has a few other exhibits upstairs that you can check out, but they are rotating exhibits and weren't quite as interesting as the primary exhibit downstairs.I visited the museum on a Sunday and admission was free. I believe admission is normally 8 for adults. While I wouldn't want to pay much more than 8 to visit, I would still pay that much.

The museum chronicles some of the history of the indigenous communities in Chiapas, including a very fascinating piece on the Spaniards' obsession with racial mixtures. We heard from several people that the museum is not included on organized tours because of some business owners' opposition to the positions that Don Samuel took during his years of service, and also because the museum has a policy of not giving tour operators a cut for bringing tourists there.

Only to find out that your policies are a lie.2 When I asked him how long it would take for the next bus he said it could be in an hour, I dont know. Ill try to put you on the next bus. What is that supposed to mean, to try and put a paying customer, so if again I am unable to get into the queue first then I wont get on the bus3 When I was waiting at the door of the bus, both the driver and supervisor present, looked at me, and then the bus driver told the supervisor I only have 4 seats remaining, two of which were for a couple whose children were already on the bus. This meant that there are now two seats left. But to my surprise, I was told that I cant board, just because two girls who havent yet paid for their ticket were standing behind me, and have been waiting4 I think you should train your supervisors better, and to actually educate them on your companys policies regarding travel, and how to deal with customer complaints.5 when I got frustrated that I had to removed my bags because your supervisor didnt let me board the bus, I wasnt going to wait for the next bus. And when I asked him about how I can claim a refund he told me he doesnt know and doesnt care. If I want to claim a refund I should google it on their website.

To those that will read this review, there are two separate museum collections that are connected by the main foyer to the other. The Museum of Mississippi History as other reviewers have stated, displays artifacts, narrated videos, and features famous Mississippians from 13,000 BC until the present. The Mississippi Civil Rights Museum displays artifacts, prolific speeches, narrated videos, and film footage of AfricanAmerican life from slavery to the present. There are a total of eight galleries in this museum and it has interactive stations like the quality of a Smithsonian museum where you can listen to audio recordings of interviews and speeches of those who fought for racial equality in Mississippi. You will see the love and the hate that came with the fight for equality in this museum. The museum rivals other civil rights museums across the Southeast that I have visited.There was so much to see and read about some of the history of Mississippi and the Civil Rights Era that I, an educated person and native, wasn't aware of. My heart rejoiced and my soul was stirred. Some of the exhibit was emotional for me at times, but it was well worth the emotion to continue to learn about the past and how it has impacted the present. The museum gift shop was stocked with tshirts, coffee mugs, magnets, cookbooks, cheese straws, pencils, and other trinkets that were decent souvenirs. There is a small restaurant in the museum that sells sandwiches and other baked goods, but I didn't eat there. Perhaps on another visit when it isn't as crowded.Plan four hours to visit the museum of you tour both museums and take a break for lunch. My suggestion is to go during the week as early as the museum opens.

So much life in these bits of history lost souls of share croppers, highway truckers, delivery men, church folk, folk singers, pickers of cotton and of guitars, field crops and flat tops where the black soul music mixed with white folksy music and was whipped in the blender of a southern city struggling to climb out of racial division in its social setting and still very chained to segregation. The several very good record labels and studios were pioneering a new way to reach across racial boundaries and the parents of the day were struggling to keep their teens from getting influenced by the music and the changing times...

Haunting. Gutwrenching.,"Exploring the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC was one of the most emotionallydraining tours I've been on. You hear of the Holocaust as a young kid, but the experience is elevated to a whole new different level when you get to see artifacts of one of the most horrific times in the history of the world with your own eyes.It was offseason when I visited no entrance fee, so the line to get in was not long. Security was tight; they'll check your bags before you get in. Then you'll head to the elevators, where you will be given a booklet detailing the story of one Holocaust victim. You are encouraged to think of this victim during the tour. You can easily spend four hours in the museum. It is huge. And masterfully designed. I think the crowds could detract from your experience. Avoid peak seasons. Come early in the morning if possible.The Holocaust Museum is filled with a mix of actual artifacts and replicas from a grim period. Shoes of innocent victims. Hats. Wedding rings. It shows tons of pictures of thin workers, cramped in tiny bunk beds. Dioramas of the gas chambers. Movie clips of the killings and burials. It is thoughtprovoking. It makes you think about the twisted ideology of racial supremacy. It makes you think about the innocent victims fighting for their lives, struggling to thrive in an environment where death is in the foreseeable future.One thing that should be pointed out is that the Nazis targeted hundreds of thousands of other groups, aside from the Jews. Jews became their main target, but they also singled out various groups for persecution because they were either ""enemies of the state"" or they were sources of social, racial, or biological ""degeneration."" Communists, trade unionists, liberals, and pacifists were arrested for their political views. Dissenting clergy faced imprisonment if they spoke out against the regime. Jehovah's Witnesses were persecuted for their refusal to swear allegiance to the state. Homosexuals were targeted because of their sexual orientation. Gypsies, Czechs, Poles, and Slavic people from the Soviet Union were stigmatized as racially ""inferior."" Mentally and physically disabled people were regarded as ""lives unworthy of life."" What kind of twisted thinking is that!And the sad part is that persecution still exists today. People are discriminated based on race, religion, sexual orientation, mental health, etc. The Holocaust Museum made me emotional. Furious. But it also reminded me that although we have moved forward and have gone a long way, there is still a lot of work that needs to be done. I need to be more vigilant. To speak out when needed. And to be the voice for people who haven't found their voice.Powerful. Haunting. Gutwrenching.The U.S. Holocaust Museum needs to be on your bucket list.

But, this is much more than an emotional journey into one of modern history's most inhuman moments. It is a jarring reminder of of the banality of evil and the persistence of hateful prejudice that unfortunately seems to have no trouble justifying even the most horrifying exercises in persecution.The museum's exhibits are truly stunning from the photos to the documentary presentations right down to the sense of foreboding and the realization, perhaps the most important revelation of the museum, that these horrific acts were carried by human beings just like us! While in one sense the direct perpetrators of the Holocaust were surely among the world's most heinous evildoers, the more striking recognition may be to ask the question: ""How could the Holocaust have happened"" And then to recognize that the answer lies not in the manic presence of Hitler as a political leader, or in the mass hysteria that gave rise to the Nazi party, but in the passive acceptance of an absurd and surpassingly ugly set of beliefs that allowed a political movement to invest in emotional scapegoating, to justify mob violence and, in the end, quietly crept its way to the unimaginable genocide.There is no more powerful museum in Washington nor one more emotionally arresting. The message goes far beyond the promise of: ""Never Again!"" to a far more haunting query: ""Can you be so sure"" Have we once again entered an era of mass political rallies that generate a frenzy of hatred and justify nearly any action in the name of nationalism and alleged racial superioritySimply put, the Holocaust Museum should be on any and every tour of Washington, DC. It is a good counterpoint to the impressive monumentalism of the Mall and the federal institutions that fuels a justifiable patriotism but runs the risk of spilling over into the kind of xenophobia that justifies discrimination, fuels political excess and rationalizes the very violence it claims to deplore." +Attraction,Date of experience: July 2018,United States,District of Columbia DC,Washington DC,"Campinas, SP",Great Memorial,"The museum is divided in three floors: the first shows the rise of Hitler and the Nazis to power and their crazy racial ideology; the middle one shows the assault on Jews and mass murder, as well as Nazi invasions; and the last one depicts the liberation of the camps and aftermath.

Today's visit was so timely based on recent actions of the POTUS, propaganda, discrimination and profiling. While we may never see the systematic ""Final Solution"" there are too many signals of how life can be altered, While many will argue there is no correlation to the St Louis, a vessel filed with refugees, the US' felt the whole thing was a ""specific and internal matter of Cuba,"" and didn't feel any need to intercede on the refugees' behalf.

We spent over 3 hours inside the permanent exhibition and that was just enough.

" +Attraction,Date of experience: August 2015,United States,District of Columbia DC,Washington DC,unknown,A Definitive Guide to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum,"Id like to preface this by saying, for the love of all that you deem holy, do not bring your children here. Unless, of course, you want to explain to them the horrors of genocide or you absolutely have to. I will clarify this suggestion throughout.The first thing they will tell you is that the museum is also a memorial. They dont want you to be loud, and even one maroonedcoated individual said that if we were going to talk amongst ourselves, that it should be about the subject matter at hand. Take that as you will. There is so much reading to digest, that this is difficult for children and adults will have to spend the majority of time explaining/talking to their kids. There are short films 1416min on the 4th floor, and the whole time these kids were asking their mother, quite loudly, about it. I have kids, and I love them, but anyone under the age of 10 will only get nightmares from the graphic content. Just dont. Getting to the museum itself was relatively easy. Its just adjacent to the Washington Monument. There is street parking around free on Sundays, but its very limited. I purchased tickets for 12:30, but we arrived early and they let us in. I dont think they worry too much about the time in which you purchase the ticket. The tickets are interesting, because the actual museum is free, but since its so popular, getting an advanced pass ensures that you get a place in the actual exhibition; food for thought. The tour begins on the 4th floor, where topics ranging from the rise of the Third Reich, to the Nuremburg Laws, and racial identity are covered. This is especially interesting, but if you are looking to identify how a nonGerman from Austria was able to incite this sort of radicalism in people all over Europe, you wont find the answer here. The origins of Adolf Hitler, along with his henchman are not a focus of the museum; since this is a memorial, much is focused on the perspective from the Jewish population. There is one flow of traffic, so when people decide to backtrack there isnt much allowance. The exhibition itself starts out very narrow comparatively, and there is much to read on either side of the walls. In my opinion, this design flaw leads to a backup of people and it can take a while to get through, especially when you consider most peoples general lack of awareness for anyone other than themselves. The museum is divided up into three sections; Nazi rise to power, the treatment of Jews during the time period their movements to death camps or labor camps, etc. and then the end of the war, when the Allied forces finally accomplished the job, albeit far too late. There is a very interesting segment on Americas perception of the Holocaust as it was happening and their role before entering the war. This is available via listening phones attached to TV monitors. It is time consuming, interesting, and altogether shameful that more was not done to help the Jewish people. Askew from the Holocaust exhibition is a general exhibit on genocides that have taken place and that are currently taking place. It's worth a visit. Carve out a good, firm, three hours of your day to dedicate to this museum. It is awfully cold inside from my perspective and I immediately regretted my choice to wear shorts. The museum says that there is no rerentry, but we got hungry after the fourth floor and went outside to the HMM Caf, and were let back in upon request would not recommend because the best way to get to the third floor is by going through the fourth floor exhibition again." +Attraction,Date of experience: May 2015,United States,District of Columbia DC,Washington DC,"Atlanta, Georgia",Every one should visit,"Wow, this was a tough museum to go aroundnot only due to the crowds, but it's not a lot of fun due to the subject matter.

I wish this was in a bigger and better building because it was very crowded hence why it is ticketed. Considering they mainly have only photographs to depict what happened it was very good. It was disappointing to see so many teenagers just flitting past many of the displaysprobably desensitized to the graphic images and horror of it all due to modern media and special effects that depict much worse today! After the war the surviving Nazi leaders were put on trial and claimed they did nothing wrong because they were merely following the laws of their land. This is one of the saddest testimonies to mankind's evil when he departs from God's moral laws the Creator of man and does what is right in his own eyes.

Our tour operator 16 years of experience in conducting tours around the world went on to tell them that in all his experience in touring the Netherlands he had never seen such behavior by the Dutch. Just so you the reader of this review may know. All the cushioned seats in the main desk were given to the white people. While most of us, the group of Indians were made to sit on wooden benches in the back with a less appropriate shading element for more than an hour. None of the white people who got on board before us spoke up for us, the Indian tour group, to this unfair treatment by the boat company. It set a sour tone for the rest of the hour long ride. While on tour we were told stories of Anne Franks past, how the East and West Dutch India companies colonial wealth drained from their exploitation of resources from India and South America set the foundation for the wealth of architecture and canals in Amsterdam. This only made our feeling of remorse, and sadness worse. Reminded us how we had been wronged in the past and the microagressions we constantly continue to face around the world as we tour countries, without ever really raising our voices, or retaliating against such treatment. Every now and then prejudices, remnants of colonial past still shines through through their treatment of colored people. The tones are gruffer, people markedly less polite. The name of the company is Lovers Canal Cruises and the boatman aboard our ship was named Bobby. We, the tour group were in Amsterdam only for half a day and we choose to do a tour of Amsterdams amazing canals as a keystone to our general understanding of The city and its urban fabric. Speaking of logistics, The boat was 30 minutes late. The one hour tour was further prolonged/delayed by another 30 minutes. Upsetting our entire itinerary. Just so you know Lovers Canal Cruise Company, you now have 36 Indians who have an horrible view of what Amsterdam is really about and what its people generally are like due to the decisions taken by a few people and a lack of company policy against racial discrimination." +Attraction,Date of experience: April 2017,Europe,The Netherlands,North Holland Province,"Hastings, United Kingdom",Very poor indeed!,"My daughter currently lives in Amsterdam and treated us to a canal cruise to indulge my wish to see the city from the water.32 for two pre booked tickets.

We spent about 3 hours at the library. +Attraction,Date of experience: September 2018,United States,Texas TX,Austin,"Arlington, Virginia",So worthwhile. My respect and admiration for President Johnson grew so much. ,"The Presidential Library was hard to find. Its in the middle of the University campus and there are no signs on campus directing you to it. Once inside, follow the timeline on the events occurring during his years of public service and his Presidency. There is an extensive section on the role that athletes have played during the past 100 years to shine a light on racial, sex and religious discrimination and how their efforts and activism have helped bring about change. I was amazed at how many serious and potentially catastrophic domestic and global conflicts LBJ faced during his Presidency. Listening to his taped phone conversations with prominent U.S. leaders and other world leaders made me realize the depth of his understanding of issues and how personal connections are essential to reaching out and addressing opposing views or agendas. I came to understand that his commitment to civil rights and equal treatment for all was authentic and unyielding.

In this library you learn how LBJ started as a teacher, worked his way through Congress, became president in 1963 as a result of JFKs assassination but won the 1964 election and passed an impressive amount of bills and legislation.

Vietnam war was in full swing, students were protesting on every university campus, the protesters were shouting 'hey, hey, hey LBJ, how many kids have you killed today', every evening in front of the WH, LBJ realized that he could not win the war and had no way to extricate us, Civil rights marches were going on all over the south and the Southern whites were quite upset with LBJ's civil rights and racial equality business. Two Kennedy's and MLK got assassinated. It was a period of extreme turmoil, but the nation pulled through it and survived. That made me less depressed about the current state of affairs and brought about the hope that when it is all over, the stars and stripes will still be flying proudly on the shinning hill. By comparison, things today, as bad as they are, are not quite bad enough to lose hope. LBJ pushed through lot of civic minded legislation.The library is located on the North East corner of the UT campus.

Situated on the University of Texas campus, it is a modern and rather austere architectural structure. The library occupies three floors of the building. As soon as you enter and pay the entrance fee, a docant gives a very good brief overview and orientation to the exhibits. These are fascinating closeups of a complicated and contradictory President and his first lady whose presence permeates the exhibits in their design and point of view. You go through time, getting to know the largerthanlife LBJ whose prowess pushed through the most progressive and widesweeping social justice legislation since FDR. There is a balanced view of how he is often portrayed A bully on a strategic tirade, a just man on a civil rights quest to level the playing field of opportunities for the poor and disenfranchised racial minorities. The constantly repeating film similarly depicts both sides of this intriguing historical figure, as do the opportunities to hear his voice in fascinating ways, including telephones. Similarly, the exhibit portrays a time in our history when the seams were being ripped open and for those of us who lived through it, it accurately and viscerally recalls that time of civil unrest and civilian involvement, war and peace rallies, social movements and selfrealization, youthful hope and shattered dreams JFK assassination.

As we visited this Library/Museum we were astounded to learn how many legislative bills he was able to pass during his term of office in his pursuit of his ""Great Society"" agenda, many of which continue to affect us today. We felt that the museum's use of telephones, that one could pick up and listen to LBJ's conversations while he was in office, were a great asset and gave us a good insight into his personality and his persuasive style which became known as the ""LBJ Treatment"".They seemed especially appropriate as he was never without a phone within reach as well as having several televisions on at one time!

Through these insightful and engrossing displays, ones appreciation for his legacy is deepened as one learns how his administration changed the course of American life in a number of substantive ways that still greatly affect us today. While this attraction is not appropriate for small children, families with teenagers would find this to be quite a worthwhile stop. Take time to watch the videos and pay a few extra dollars for the audio tour to delve deeper into the exhibits. Allocate a minimum of 1.5 hours. History buffs could easily spend 3 hours, here.My only criticism is unless I missed it the exhibit provides little clue as to why Johnson changed from being one who voted along with segregationist Dixiecrats to one who supported progressive racial policies.

Everyone was having a good time drinking and dancing until we entered the lake for the second time that evening. Besides myself, my brother and a small group of girls, everyone on the boat were predominantly white. The same security guard that dismissed me and my wife in the beginning of the night, made my brother exit the inside of the boat to tell him that he was told that my brother had dope and he was smoking it on the dance floor. My brother is a large Mexican man who also had on a flat brim White Sox hat. After, my brother told the guard, which we later found out was a previous police officer, that he does not do drugs, the guard made my brother empty all of his pockets and patted him down. Meanwhile, on the inside of the boat, the dance floor smelled of marijuana. I attempted to approach my brother and the guard to advise that someone is smoking inside while my brother was OUTSIDE, the guard began to scream into my face. Even after my brothers pockets were emptied, he was standing outside and the dance floor still smelled of marijuana, the guard still did not believe my brother. This is 100 racial profiling. Once we told the guard that is was racial profiling, he began to scream in both of our faces that he was not racist. For how fast this man escalated his emotions, Im assuming this is not the first time he has been called that. Not only did he racially profile me and my brother, he then continued to lose all control of his emotions, the atmosphere of the boat and other people on the boat who began to scream and physically fight. On Monday, we called to speak with the owner of the boat. It was stated that he was onboard Saturday night and was screaming in my face, as well as others, calling us fat and racist btches.

Like many people, my initial thought was will Modern Spanish Plays keep me entertained for an evening The answer to this question is a most definite and resounding yes.The first of the two plays Bazaar by David Planell is described as a darkly comic tale that gives insight into the lives of Spanish immigrants and questions the notion of national identity and the individual. This seems like quite a large undertaking for a cast of three and a studio space. However, upon entering the theatre, I felt instantly transported to the dusty, dirty and crowded streets of warm Madrid, Spanish guitar playing rapidly, welcoming the audience to sit closely and drink in the sense of sun bleached wood and clutter provided by the sumptuous set design of Maria Kalamara.In the story, three very different and ethnically diverse men plot and attempt to have a video of what sounds like an hilarious bicycle accident involving one of them shown nationwide on a Television clip show. As they discuss daily life, plans for the future, and plans for the video, the racial tension and ongoing anger between each character becomes apparent and by the end of the story, personal identity has become the only thing that the characters have left to pick on. Although it begins humorously and builds to some very active and funny moments, the writing of the play flawlessly deepens its self to become something entirely serious in its message, both meaningful and clear. The use of space throughout Bazaar is fantastic. The whole stage is transformed by the opening or closing of a wooden shutter, the moving of boxes and tires, or by a very slick rotation of the central set piece which gives the show pace and a sense of time. Christopher Neels opens the show strongly as Anton, a brash but seemingly very clumsy man who swaggers around the city like he is the Don. During his interaction with Hassan played by Pezhmaan Alinia, a Moroccan Muslim immigrant shop owner, we see his character clearly demonstrate the depths that he will go to make a peseta or two. Funny, charismatic and full of energy, Christopher Neels presents the right angle of Anton, he is the kind of man you love to hate!Hassan was perhaps the most difficult character to understand. Without revealing too much of the story, he is seemingly very unhappy with the way he is treated in Spain, he dislikes the Spanish people and their values, but he shrugs away from dwelling on his home or past in an attempt to move on from something. But what Pezhmaan Alinia works hard to bring understanding to Hassan, but unfortunately the situations that the character finds himself in are so much a private battle that at times it was infuriating as an audience member to see him leave the action of the stage without explaining how he felt. Rashid, played honestly by Matija Vlatkovic is the voice of reason between the two cultures. He manages to bring a sense of togetherness, a sense of trust in which the other characters can reveal their true thoughts on the identity crisis which runs as a strong current throughout the show. Although he is not perfect and he uses his own identity for other purposes, he is the most relatable of the three men. He is seeing the situation through the eyes of someone who may not know what he wants to do with his life, but has a clear understanding of who he is. Matija Vlatkovic does a very good job of presenting Rashids young but routed sense of self to the situation he finds himself in. The production, although dutifully performed and beautifully crafted on stage, suffers from the sheer fact that the play was not written for a British audience. There were many moments that on later reflection should have been funny or moving or profound, but unclear of how to react, the audience made no response. The piece feels like it has been lost in translation and the culture that it was written for is not a prevalent culture in young London. Bazaar was unfortunately a little bizarre to me and to other members of the audience who struggled to find a connection to the show. I feel I need an understanding of what sort of real racial tensions exist within Spanish culture, to appreciate the severity with which certain things happen within the play." +Attraction,Date of experience: March 2018,United States,Georgia GA,Folkston,unknown,Chesser Island Homestead Boardwalk and Owls Roost: YES!,"Before Gregory Peck was Atticus Finch in the film TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, he was the father in another film, THE YEARLING.

With all the stories of so much meanness,we can easily forget the innate sweetness of the land and its people, both Black and White, and their struggle to ward off poverty that led to near famine and, like the fictional Atticus, to promote justice.slow that it is to come.Sitting on the porch of the Chesser Island Homestead on a warm Georgia Sunday afternoon is a very good place to be. The homestead is isolated, so its possible the Chesser family wasn't able to attend church services often, but I was reminded of the classic gospel song, MAY THERE BE PEACE IN THE VALLEY. May we all find that:, no one above or beneath the Law.Now under the care of the U.S. National Fish and Wildlife Service, this is a beautiful place. A refuge indeed. As for the Boardwalk and 40 foot tall Owl's Nest, the Nest may not be handicap accessible, but the Boardwalk certainly is.

It costs R65.00 as an adult to access the Johannesburg Fort, the old Black men's Prison and the Women's Prison, but you can also just walk about the area if you dont have that money and going into the Constitutional Court building is free. Walk around the top of the Fort that's free and you see the city you can access it from the north side of the Fort. Look at the most fantastic art works at the Constitutional Court including the most magnificent Marlene Dumas.With your R65.00 you can see inside all three prisons the fort was a prison too and be absolutely horrified with the conditions that people were held in up until the 1980s by all accounts the modern prisons in South Africa are not any great shakes either however there is no discrimination based on face, just money. The old black men's prison is very grim visiting especially the isolation cells at the north side of the prison. Look out for a very interesting exhibition on Gandhi as well as one in the Fort on Mandela both famous prisoners. The women's prison is very well presented and explained including the racial humiliation of black women.There is a lot of walking so be prepared with good shoes and there is only one cafe in the fort so bring water if the day is hot.

It was very depressing in the jail itself, particularly the part where the videos were being played in loop in the adjacent cells each depicting the life / pain of the person who stayed there. It showed that love was also considered to be a crime. From people being jailed for holding hands with a person from another race to having gone through prosecution for having an affair interracial mixing was not allowed at all. Also, marriages were only approved / acknowledged if married in a church. Hindu weddings were considered illegal as per one pic. Going from one cell to other left one with such a sad feeling.The men's jail gave a stark reminder of the discrimination followed even behind bars. From the overcrowded cells, to the cold shower stalls, from the ""blanket art"" competition to get a little more preference in jail, to the torture cells with their torture equipment, from the food ration for whites, colored and black people to the pictures abounding with severe atrocities, all was a throw back to the past. Number 4 was where they kept hardened criminals as well as political prisoners perhaps to affront them. Even Gandhiji had stayed in Number 4, himself being a political prisoner for having started the Satyagrah from there. Thus the seeds of Indian Independence were laid perhaps in Number 4. In the center was the spot where they made the prisoners sing by force to entice them to get a little relief from their punishments. The Constitutional Court was the brightest part of this visit. It had an exquisite and huge wooden door about 9 m in height. On both sides of the door, 27 rights enlisted in the South African Constitution are written in 27 languages spoken or sign as used in South Africa. This shows a remarkable show of unity solidarity in the country. A part of the old jail was pulled down to build the walls of the Constitutional Court and the Great Steps leading away from it. Again, symbolizing the South African sensitivity to give importance to the past as the way for the future is carved out.

I'm a museum geek who was in Cinci on a oneday solo trip because I had never been before and found cheap r/t tickets Let me preface this by saying that the concept of visting a museum to the Underground Railroad didn't particularly appeal to me.

This was the best 15 I spent in a LONG TIME! The exhibitssome are interactiveothers are staticare FANTASTIC!!! Yes, all of the exhibits are educational and informative. I thought I knew all there was to know about slavery, the underground railroad, the civil war and Jim Crow but boy did I learn a lot! There were many poignant exhibits and stories; predictably many were sad because of the subject matter; but just as many heralded small triumphs and were therefore uplifting.

She is learning about it at school and I thought a field trip would be appropriate. I knew it would be a bit heavy and powerful, so I planned a boat ride on the Ohio for the afternoon.I wasn't prepared for the impact the museum would have on me. It was devastating to learn how little I had understood about the slave trade and the terrible illtreatment of slaves, men, women, and children. We have a lot to learn and to face about ourselves and our society. My daughter pointed out that only three or four of the first fifteen presidents were not slave owners. The reconstructed slave pen brought tears to my eyes and I couldn't look at anyone else for a time. The Rosa Parks virtual reality experience, the Harriet Tubman movie, these and other exhibits are well presented. The walls have art. there is sculpture and exhibits about different aspects of the slave trade. The underground railroad exhibit brought home the fact of how few of the citizens stood out against slavery and that it was not tidily confined to the Southern states.My daughter took it all in stride better than I could have expected and she seemed to be familiar with much of the history. The modernday slavery exhibit is gutwrenching. But it is a mustvisitsection of the museum.Finally, the implicit bias area was also extremely interesting and informative. Do save some time for that area.One learns about implicit and unintended bias; not just racial bias. I was struck by how segregated we are as a society as I saw neatly segregated groups going through the museum.Take your children and go often. We need to learn more if we are to face and be rid of this terrible history and its aftereffects that still tear us apart.The building itself is beautiful, stark and dwarfing. The covered parking is convenient, plentiful and inexpensive in the lot below the buildings. Street parking was all taken before 11 am when the building opens. There are clean restrooms and plenty of places to eat nearby. I took some pictures but I felt I was violating a temple to those who suffered and are remembered here.Take your children and visit.

The museum's name is a bit of a misnomer, however, in that the subject matter is more broad: it presents the history of chattel slavery, abolitionism, emancipation, and the continuing struggle for racial equality in America. It also addresses the persistence of enslaved labor today.The exhibits are easy to understand, attractive in design, and include multimedia elements. Period artifacts are used to good effect. There are also some monumental spaces with large artworks and a reconstructed slave pen building from Kentucky.. At the time of my visit, there was a temporary exhibit of photo montages of places associated with abolition and the underground railroad that I found very moving.

There was no way sleep was possible, even with earplugs in. Eventually, our neighbors called the OPP and Parks Canada after hours emergency line and the wardens very reluctantly came out via boat from Honey Harbour to shut the party down. It's not clear to me why the park ""security"" people walking through the campsite would not have addressed this situation directly and let it go on for many hours each night.New this year, Parks Canada had deemed that tenters have to find their own way to the island. It's beyond me why Parks Canada can't run another boat for tenters, get more staff or buy another boat. We were forced to take a water taxi from town for 135 round trip. Not Parks Canada's fault, but the guy was 1.5 to 2 hours late both ways and was drinking liquor throughout his day while driving the boat.

But this dream seems no longer possible. A row of boats showed up each night within feet of the shore, blasting music, yelling, being generally drunk teens I hope they were teens. We figured no big deal, the police or the park ranger would come and have them quiet down after 11pm this is standard practice at other campgrounds and in the city as well but nope. No one came, according to the people we asked who were all deeply frustrated by the situation, the ranger apparently doesn't have jurisdiction if they are in the water. And perhaps the local police don't mess with residents who have enough money to be yelling about their 50 000 boats at 3am I don't know the answer but honestly, the experience was disgusting. The boat partiers were literally yelling racial slurs at the diverse group of campers who were trying to get them to turn it down, the children in the tents around us were waking up crying, it was the opposite of everything we'd hoped for.

Our experiences were distinctly different.The BadOur first experience with the waterpark was not good. We arrived about 6pm and prepared to have fun for three hours or so. In that time, my daughter and several guests were yelled at by other guests for playing water basketball in the water basketball section of the park. A young man pushed one of our guests off the pool stairs because he was in a hurry. An ethnic friend we brought was called a racial slur. To top it off, a father and son were playing highspeed dodgeball in the hot tub so highspeed that the ball was slamming off the fake rocks and hitting the ceiling.We complained to the lifeguard about the dodgeball hot tub is supposed to be a 'no horseplay' zone and after a very weak request, the lifeguard pointedly ignored both the father/son and us as the dodgeball continued. Our issue about it being inappropriate for other guests to make racial slurs or police our kids' behavior was ignored altogether. We ended up having to be on top of the kids to ensure that they got a fair shake at slides, balls, and general fun. Needless to say, we were disappointed.In the morning, however, new lifeguards were in place. They whistled infractions, kept an eye on the younger guests, and made for a completely different experience. My same kids who supposedly were problems and/or had problems the night before were now just fine. They even played basketball with some of the kids who'd been an issue the night before. On a separate visit, we again encountered active, working lifeguards and had a reasonably pleasant experience.The main problem with the waterpark is that it is very small bathers are almost on top of each other. If everyone behaves courteously, either by force of will or by direction of the staff, everyone can have a good time. The problem comes when the staff is not paying attention these water features then become much too close for comfort. I won't teach my kids to return rude behavior with more rude behavior and with guests packed in like sardines, there is no where to go when things get edgy." +Attraction,Date of experience: August 2014,United States,Washington WA,Leavenworth,"Los Angeles, California",Horribly offensive and racially insensitive performance,"I attended an indoor performance of the ""Drowsy Chaperone"" and walked out. I was surprised that a musical that came out so recently would continue to have overthe top racial stereotypes of Latinos and Asians. The fact that the writers paid tonguein cheek lip service to Asian Stereotypes was lost on the way it was performed. I was offended that the company did nothing to treat the subject matter if it couldn't be they shouldn't have selected this show in a racially sensitive way. I finally walked out at the top of the second act after gritting my teeth through the first act. Please don't select shows that play to racial stereotypes if you don't know how to properly handle the material Putting aside this issue, the company has some very talented performers but the talent is uneven. Some performers were very professional, others bordering on amateurish." +Attraction,Date of experience: January 2019,United States,District of Columbia DC,Washington DC,Israel,"Great welldone informative interesting and educational"" I was able to Buc the long lines and reservations!!","That's right: I walked in with no waiting, no lines, no reservations and not even a single person ahead of me for security check, and at 1000 am in the morning.... of course it was Tuesday the day of snow and polar vortex and the museum had just reopened that day after the government shutdown.... but even so.... and when Mr. Grubb joined me after 1300, even he didn't have to wait in line except to put his umbrella in the plastic holder that they provided....Anyway,,,,It's a great museum and certainly worth the visit.... I recommend it to everyone, including my family members, some of whom lived through the racial strife of the 1960s and afterwards, and some who never lived in a racially segregated and tense America.I breezed through the museum with ease, enjoying all of the displays and all of the exhibits.Yes the historical slave trade exhibits are buried underground and it's dark and some stuff is hard to read other tripadvisor friends already told you that. Despite the poor lighting, the material was ""enlightening"" for me.The descriptions of attempts at family life preservations of traditions and rituals and then at the disruptions and separations forced and voluntary were especially poignant similar themes that I know from my family, cultural religious and Jewish national history we have all seen dark days it is meaningful and no coincidence to me that the National Holocaust Memorial is visible from this building and anchors the opposite side of our National Mall, with the monument to our nation's founder and first president there between the two: symbols of the liberty and freedom we are all guaranteed here.But I digress...I learned a lot about the role of the blacks fighting on the Union side during the bloody American Civil War. Sad to say that despite being a history buff and learning all this stuff in public schools in the 1960s and 1970s and I didn't learn too much about this: we learned about Harriet Tubman and Uncle Tom's Cabin and that was it. Seeing an original teepee type tent where 25 black Union soldiers all slept together was amazing... and sobering.I skipped much of the Reconstructionera history until the 1920's, times that my grandparents experienced in this country.It was meaningful for me seeing and viewing evidences of segregation from the 1940s and 1950s: not that I remember it personally, but it was within reach of lifetime and therefore somewhat ""familiar"" and not foreign.The 1960s was a hot time for racial relations in the United States I remember living through and seeing and experiencing much of what is exhibited you yourself already know or will learn the details when you visit; to see one's life experiences behind glass in a museum is both exhilarating... and sobering...The 1970s and 1980s, even though I lived through them in the US, were less emotionally provoking for me.Upstairs is the arts ,and I went straight for the Motown memorabilia, especially the Temptations just about nothing, and when I asked the guard why, he didn't know and Stevie Wonder a video spin on a thin type of canvas There are clothes and costumes of James Brown and of Michael Jackson. Oh and there is Louis Armstrong's trumpet now that was fantastic my daughter was shocked when I explained that in the 1950s and early 1960s, he toured the country as a national headline performer but had to sit in the back of the bus and sleep in a different hotel... at least that's what I heard.Anyway: without a doubt a great and worthwhile and free museum... so if you've read up to this point, you are certainly now my tripadvisor friend, so look at all of my photos, like this review, and follow meYour pal.Buc." +Attraction,Date of experience: September 2018,United States,District of Columbia DC,Washington DC,"Wauwatosa, Wisconsin",Seriously need a FULL day or two!,"After failing at getting a same day pass last Easter, was lucky the museum was trying ""first come, first serve"" weekdays!

I was already fascinated by the sheer size of the elevator that actually takes you back in time...not sure if this is an every time occurrence or we were special, but the man running the elevator tells you the significance of each year you can see on the walls through the glass the PERFECT symbolic intro. Was definitely brought to tears several times, humbled and horrified by the stories, pictures and overall details of the exhibits. We only went through the history section and even that was somewhat rushed w/our time constraints. To say it was ""a LOT"" is an understatement.

It's important for EVERY AMERICAN to better understand the experience of the black community in this country in order to help move the racial discussion forward.

This place is impressive. See wood from a 1700's slave ship. Learn how sugar and greed drove the slave trade. Walk solemnly past the original casket of Emmett Till to pay your respects. Enjoy the Oprah exhibit with costumes, shoes, and video of her tv show. I found the layout cumbersome. You are forced to go by elevator to the very bottom floor and then walk the ramps a mile and a half back to the 3rd level where you enter the museum. This would be fine if there were more benches to accomodate those who need to go more slowly or need to rest. We were there from 10 to 5 and never made it to the upper floors of the museum. You could do all the floors, but to read and begin to absorb all they offer, it takes a while. Another thing you won't like is that once in, there is no leaving for a meal and coming back. The museum restaurant is delicious, but pricey. It's divided into 4 stations, Comfort, Creole, Barbecue, and Fish, so there's something for everyone, including yummy desserts. Meals are about 15 dollars. Desserts were around 5 dollars. If you're bringing a family, bring snacks and be prepared to share meals at the the restaurant. It is difficult to convey what a thoughtful, emotionally daunting, even wrenching experience. Feel free to photograh everywhere except Emmett Till's exhibit. You take out your phone, you're escorted out.The folks in charge of the information and getting you around the museum are knowledgable and professional. Unfortunately, it's a selfselective, so the people who perhaps could benefit most from this experience, may not go. We are an interracial couple, and I was saddened not to see more White folks sharing this experience.

If you paid attention, it would be impossible to walk out of the museum without being moved by the extraordinary cultures the African slaves came from, the horrors of their transport and enslavement, and the contribution to the building of this great country. Further, it is horrifying to see the continued impact of racial prejudice on this segment of our population that has suffered and given so much to our culture and prosperity.

It depicts some of the racial discrimination that African Americans went through how changes for racial equality occurred. +Attraction,Date of experience: December 2017,United States,District of Columbia DC,Washington DC,"Thornhill, Canada",An Important Museum,"It is difficult to get tickets for this museum so my advice would be to book your time well in advance of your trip to Washington.This is a very important museum to view and attend regardless of your racial background. I would definitely recommend allocating one complete day for your visit as the museum is housed on six floors and requires the attendee to do a significant amount of reading of the exhibits housed in the museum. I would recommend that you get the earliest viewing ticket possible.There is a reasonably good restaurant on site so you do not have to worry about leaving the museum.A significant amount of time spent reviewing the history of the slave trade And the history of the peoples in Africa. However due to time constraints I felt rushed through the sports andEntertainment sections of the museum. This is a shame as the contribution is a significant one . The architecture of the building is very beautiful but I did not see any discussion of the meaning and interpretation of how the building was constructed.The only negative comment would beThat there was not enough lockers to store our jackets. Perhaps a coat check room would be a recommendation.Despite this, the museum is a five star rating." +Attraction,Date of experience: September 2017,United States,District of Columbia DC,Washington DC,"Austin, Texas",Dont waste your time. Obnoxious staff and no chance of getting in,"I thought long and hard whether to post this review but then decided that I really value TripAdvisor and the honest opinions of contributors who have helped me make informed decisions about places to visit so the least I can do is honestly relate my experiences trying visit this museum. To anyone reading this review please dont assume any intent from the title of this review. My wife and I are liberal people with deep concerns about the current state of the racial divide in America. I am white and she is Hispanic and we both have a genuine interest in African American history and culture and genuinely wanted to visit this museum to build our knowledge and seek to understand what we can do to contribute to improving the racial situation currently existing in the USA. Having gone to the Smithsonian Natural History and Air and Space Museums and finding that they were free to enter we decided to try and visit the African American History and Culture Museum too. Even if it wasnt free we were happy to pay whatever the entry fee might be. We arrived midafternoon and were told that we would not be allowed entry since we hadnt either obtained advance tickets via the website at 6:00am that morning, or option 2, had waited by the orange rock the obnoxious woman at the entrance vaguely waved her arm in the direction of the grassy area outside the museum as she said this at 1:00pm that afternoon. We could see through the windows that the museum was not busy and since we very much wanted to visit the museum and had no plan B at that time decided to wait in the shade while we decided what to do next. During that 20 minute period we noticed the same woman turn away 38 other people all of whom were nonblack but allow in 6 African Americans who, in the spirit of honesty, may well have had tickets. This situation has got to be resolved though. We never had another opportunity to visit the museum but either the logistics for obtaining entry, or the attitude of the staff outside the front doors needs to be changed. Just imagine the furor if the situation was reversed and a white person was arbitrarily preventing the entrance of black people to a national museum but allowing white people entry. By preventing access to people who genuinely are interested in the African American history and culture as a means to educate themselves, this staff member and the logistics of the museum are contributing to the issue rather than the solution of a major problem in American right now." +Attraction,Date of experience: July 2017,United States,District of Columbia DC,Washington DC,"Detroit, Michigan",Multigenerational family trip to DC,"This museum is amazing. My young teens who have been education about Black history were amazed at how the story looked when told by the Black perspective!

Otherwise, a three because of the curation.I and my wife, love history, love museums, know more on average about African American history and less than someone who has spent any time studying the topic.What is great about the museumMost people begin on level one the building design is very powerful, seven stories, from the bowels of a slave ship metaphorically speaking, not in display to the top level of culture, the arts, and so on. This level and the entire exhibit on slavery is not even close to what it cold have been. It is sanitized; distant; and in some cases factually inaccurate. The curators have created a narrative fair enough but that narrative obscures too much real and interesting history. I could not find, for example, any mention of the Somerset case look it up please I may have missed it and even if it was there that I missed it means the curators were focused on narrative not real education or history. I could quibble more another example when the museum presents the critical role of Christianity, the curation states slave owners wanted their slaves to become Christian them and so on. Well, n many places, the opposite of the truth in South Caroina, it was against the law for slaves to attend churches and instead they want to ""praise houses."" OK, I am a nerd.That said, as you rise to the post civil war period, and then on to the 20th century, the museum just gets better, so much so my wife and I are going back as we ran out of time. Form music to sports to eduction to theater it was very, very interesting and the section on protest and cicil rights reminded us how ugly os many things were in OUR COUNTRY not a foreign country when we were growing up.Best things large screens with videos; fabulous photography beginning around the civil war time period' the exhibits on the military service and post World War II America. And the visitors three quarters of the visitors on the day we were there were African American, this is their place, and you see on the animated faces of the grandmothers and the children how important this place is, how proud they are, and how some are shocked at the terrible treatment their forefathers suffered through. The museum, for them is playing a vital role in replacing family oral history that is fading if not gone altogether. Oops, almost forgot very good cafeteria, very attentive and helpful staff as with all Smithsonian musuems.Worst things a narrative that at times obscures critical parts of history and, worse, ignores the role of white people. Yes I am white this is not about that. How can you set up a music room rooms without Elvis, it was Elvis who brought black music into mainstream American culture How can you present exhibit after exhibit on the fight for racial equality without mentioning or if they were there, I missed it dead white civil rights workers or the black/Jewish coalitions in major cities that led the fight for civil rights, or the joint organized labor/black cil rights effortsThese are more than quibbles the narrative is flawed but the important thing is to go visit, it is a MUST place to go in DC.One last point this museum is the only tourist attraction in any major city I have been two where there were no Chines tour groups and few Chinese tourists.

The information table encouraged us to start at the top, but as we had only one day there, I wanted to be sure and see the lower three floors and we waited an hour to take an elevator down to the lower floors.

The band A Perfect Circle had their concert that day, and I had been looking forward to this concert for half a year. It cost me 106.55 for two tickets, and was also intended to be a birthday gift to my boyfriend, and this concert was supposed to be a fun, celebratory day. It was supposed to be one of the highlights of 2018.We arrived between 5 and 6 hours early in order to make sure we got a good position in the venue at the front. This band is extremely popular, so we had to plan well ahead and cancel other daytime arrangements. We were standing/sitting for many hours in line, patiently waiting for the doors to open, and because we were excited about the upcoming concert, we were of course okay with this. The point of arriving early was so that we could smoothly be the first to go through the bag checks and secure a good spot since it was a standing concert, which is important considering the expensive tickets.However, once the doors opened my entire day took a turn for the worse. Once I reached the security staff, a particularly hostile female member of staff asked me to open my backpack. I politely complied and showed her the contents, which was nothing unusual Antibacterial hand wipes, earplugs, keys to my flat, my wallet, and an umbrella since it was forecasted to rain. The lady began to angrily harass me about every single item in my backpack, aggressively asking me about the purpose of each of them. It was extremely uncomfortable, and even though I calmly explained what they were, she kept holding me back while other concert goers started slipping by me. These other people arrived hours later than me, and still managed to get into the venue before me.The lady told me to open my backpack a total of four times, even though she had already gone through it. It felt humiliating and embarrassing to be treated so suspiciously in front of everyone. I am originally from a Middle Eastern country, and it felt as if I was singled out because of my race by this staff member. She treated me like a suspected radicalised islamist at an airport, interrogating me about completely innocent and normal items in my backpack. Other people who also brought backpacks with many items, were treated completely normally and walked past me in the dozens. My boyfriend had to try his best to secure a spot for me as I was being treated like a criminal by the staff. I was shocked at the fact that I had to explain what my intentions were taking simply household items like an umbrella and wet tissues with me. Nobody would ever accept this kind of treatment, and I certainly will not either.I can only call this by what it is racial discrimination. There is nothing more humiliating than paying a lot of money, waiting for half a year, spending 6 hours in line expecting to enjoy a great evening, only to be publicly harassed by the staff as everyone else is easily let through. In the end I did not find a good spot in the venue to stand, even though this ideally should never have been an issue. It is completely unacceptable that I should be treated with suspicion simply because of my skin colour, and that I am forced to desperately try to reason with a racist staff member who seem to not accept that I come with the intention of enjoying my favourite band. It was so distressing to me that it has taken a week for me to gather the courage to speak out about this. I have never been treated so unfairly in any public place before, and I was being completely reasonable and polite towards her, displaying only good behaviour. I was held back for so long that at one point, I pleaded with her to keep my backpack so that I could get past her.Even worse, this experience has completely soured my relationship with O2 Academy Brixton. I can not even listen to A Perfect Circle anymore without being reminded of this horrible treatment I was subjected to. This is completely the fault of the staff member, and the venue who hired her. I sent a complaint email to the venue itself, which I received no response. This is extremely unacceptable.The venue ruined what was supposed to be one of the best days of 2018, and made it one of the worst instead" +Attraction,Date of experience: May 2018,Mexico,Northern Mexico,Coahuila,"Torreon, Mexico",Best hideout from the HEAT,"During hot summer days, which in this part of Mxico goes almost year round it is a great way to walk the city belly under.

Enjoy it for what it is.,"Sonnenland park is not Disney World. But if you go in with realistic expectations you can still have a great time. You are in Eastern Germany, and you will immediately see that there are still some lingering differences between the East and the West. Without getting into geopolitics of employment, prosperity, wage gaps, etc., there are still some fun differences in fashion, speech, and tourism. You will see elderly ladies with blue, purple, or pink hair. Good luck understanding Schsisch if you are not a native German speaker. If you are an Englishspeaking tourist, you may be the only one here. Embrace this folks, and enjoy this diversity, because there is not a lot of racial or national diversity in the park, as the park is a reflection of the region. What you will find are good, humble, nonpretentious people flocking to Sonnenland. I know a little bit about them as I married one of them 15 years ago. While none of my inlaws have purple hair, I do understand a little about why the Easterners are keen to differentiate themselves from their western compatriots. Let's all be different, together! Here you will see all those efforts on full display.As for the park, it's big and green and if you get lucky, sunny. There are several rides for kids of all ages, there's a lake where everyone can have fun, but only little kids can swim naked. There's a Ferris wheel and a tractor ride which circumnavigates the park introducing you to all sorts of wildlife, some of the fourlegged variety and some on two.You can bring you own food or buy it in the park. They supply the grills; you bring the brats and the charcoal. You can even bring in coolers on wagons filled to the brim with your own beer. Find me another park that will let you do that. In other words, you are pretty much free to do whatever you want. In Eastern Germany. Go figure.If you pay attention, you will soon notice that this park almost runs itself. The patrons follow the rules, obey the queues, and don't get out of hand. There are very few people working the park so good luck finding help if you need it. Eastern Germans don't need someone to tell them to follow the rules; they will do so of their own accord.And did I mention that the prices are reasonable Once you've paid the entrance fee, you won't have to open your wallet again if you don't want to, so you can have a great day without going broke at Sonnenland.

My daughters' family earns enough income to move out to a better area sociaoeconimically, but they love the vibe here of the multiracial residents, including mixed race families and gay families, and are torn between their desire to be a part of this neighborhood and their desire to own a larger home with a larger back yard, and send their daughter to a better school than the Boston public schools.

It takes about 4560 minutes from Cambridge where I was staying to get to on the subway. The museum itself is excellent and nontraditional which I liked. Firstly, you head into a theatre which plays a 20 minute video documenting all of JFKs life up until his run for presidency in 1960 its actually narrated by the man himself. Ive always liked JFK and Jackie so it was really interesting learning a little bit about the man before he was president. After the movie, you head into the museum which is filled with artefacts and short plaques marking key moments in his presidency from the Cuban Missile Crisis and his space programmes to he and his brother, Robert Kennedy working together to stop racial segregation. Jackies clothes, JFKs personal belongings and key photographs are all displayed in the museum and theres even a special exhibit at the minute celebrating 100 years of Kennedy with 100 photos and artefacts from his life.

Meditations were solid. But, I'm still processing what my more recent April 2019 experience means. I sat in a meditation led by Phillip Moffitt called Sustaining as Care Provider. There were 200 people in the room, 3 of whom presented as people of color. I brought this issue of inequity up to the front desk. I was told the primary reason for this is that people choose to sit with teachers ""that look like them."" When I began to comment of some of the barriers, other than racial profiling, that Spirit Rock has some influence over e.g. a scentfree policy, outreach methods, encouraging diversity through hiring and that people of color tend to be overrepresented in care provider positions and could greatly benefit from access to this resource, she cited that lack of public transit and/or the distance from Oakland were other contributing factors. These explanations, offered as finalities, seem harbored in troublesome stereotypes about people of color. I implore Spirit Rock, and Phillip Moffitt, to examine the ways in which they create a space that is not inviting, accessible to, or inclusive of nonwhite consumers. While the front desk listed a number of efforts currently being undertaken to serve more diverse clients, the statements made above indicate a greater need to understand the causes behind their homogenous clientele and to acknowledge the acceptance that folks gravitate to their own races upholds separatism, not dismantle it." +Attraction,Date of experience: February 2019,Asia,Singapore,Singapore,"Singapore, Singapore",Spectacular fireworks display,"I am a local Singaporean and coming to age 60 but sad to say that this was my very first visit to River Hongbao. I was lucky to be given a complimentary entrance ticket by my grassroots committee but with a condition to lead 2 buses of grassroots leaders and residents to River Hongbao. I was really a green horn and don't even know how River Hongbao looks like and now bringing groups of residents to this place. Nevertheless, the bus drivers alighted us near the entrance of The Float @ Marina Bay where the River Hongbao is located and we walked our way in. This Float at Marina Bay is also the venue where our National Day Parades were held annually for the past number of years. The whole Float area is barricaded and security checks are conducted at the various entrance points. We went through baggage manual inspection to ensure no offensive weapons or explosive devices are brought into the float area. The whole Float is subdivided into the various areas:a Food Streetb Amusement Areasc Happiness of Spring timesd Harbor Home Exhibitione Trade Stallsf Main entrance archg Entrance walkwayh Main Performance stageThere were many lantern sculptures depicting the Samsui women, the God of Fortune, the Wishing Fountain, our Garden Homes, Abundance Prosperity, the Charms of Fortune, Happiness of Springtime, the 12 Zodiac animals etc. I noticed there was a long queue at a stall at the Food Street selling fried crispy vegetable puff. One piece cost 4/ but compared to the rest of the snacks sold at the Food Street, this puff looks more stomach filling and delicious. To me, the exhibition on the history of our Singapore River meant more for the tourists. I walked around and took some photos of the lantern sculptures. I found them beautifully made. We easily found our seats at the yellow sector after showing our tickets to the volunteers who guard the entrance. The seats are opened to the public after 7.45 pm if they do not have an entrance ticket. It was breezing cool and windy if you went up and select a seat at a higher level as you are rewarded with a breathtaking panoramic view of a metropolis city.

As dusk set in, the whole float turned so sparkling beautiful and glistening with golden lights as the lighted lantern sculptures glow under the dark sky.The cultural stage performances include multiracial Malay and Indian dances. There seem to be disproportionately more martial arts performances. They would be captivating if performance are from the Shaolin masters and not the amateur children so the martial art performances seem lack the wow' factor. There should be more singers rather than dance, martial arts and musical instruments performances. The most spectacular content is the firework display. Many came deliberately to watch this firework shows. We also delayed our departure time to watch the 10 pm last firework display by the Chinese firework team. Indeed for the 10 to 15 mins duration of firework display, we were mesmerized while our heart pound harder on every blast of the firework that erupted into attractive patterns on the backdrop of the dark sky. Marvelous and awesome! As the crowd dispersed, we were squeezed like sardines through the exit points. We never realized that four of our residents lost their way during the exit.

Years ago there was a really popular drama series on local freetoair TV covering this culture, but as months and years pass the culture dies down.The Intan seems to be just an ordinary house on the outside, but upon entering you observe how much of a cultural sanctuary it is. Singapore is a multireligious, multiracial and multicultural society. I have lived in Singapore all my life 22 years, yet there comes an epiphany somewhere through the tour of the place; you'll see that many items in the house are testimony to the point that the Peranakan culture transcends, or is an exemplary form of, the Singaporean culture in certain ways. The cultures of Singapore, like many other countries out there, are merely where different cultures draw the line between each other and mostly do not cross the line. Indians in Little India, Chinese in Chinatown. It's hardly true in the 21st century but the fact that these separate towns are where the separate races congregate shows the inherent separation of the different cultural heritages.The Peranakan are different.One of my groupmates tried comparing the cases of coexistence of separate cultures between Peranakan and the global scenarios today, to see if we knew why the Peranakans coexisted across separate cultures so well. The host didn't have an answer, but after walking around the house and observing its artifacts, I believe I have an answer.The Peranakan culture is a synthesis of cultures that is built by marriage and love,and the cultural cohabitation today, built by merely geographical necessitations upon a general population can therefore not compare to it." +Attraction,Date of experience: October 2015,Asia,Singapore,Singapore,"Singapore, Singapore",A Day Out at The Intan!,Great to learn about Singapore's Peranakan heritage considering that Singapore is such a vibrant and multiracial society.

There is much more to Singapore than caning, chewing gum, gleaming skyscrapers and racial quotas; there is the history of some of the people who first came here and established the communities that grew up into this modern country. The Peranakan culture is an interesting story of blended cultures and unique assimilation and Alvin Yapp does an incredible job of weaving that history with personal stories, accumulated artifacts and his own wit and humor. I haven't been to any other Peranakan museum, so I can't compare, but this is a small collection that stands out due to the passion of it's owner and the help of his family and friends to keep it running.

This place is actually a beautiful piece of land before going into the campside but as you approach the camp portion it becomes dirt, rock and there are buildings around the land and is also fenced off with around 45 guard towers, which, the sign further down on the fence says something like 6 towers, could not see that many.Me and the few others I walked around with continued on to the area with buildings containing the holding area, ""the showers"" or better known as the death chambers and crematorium places. Interesting to see and use the mind to see what it must have been like to be here in those times.There is a lot of land to see and there is no need to rush so give yourself at least 12 hours to see this place, but go to the area in the middle of the buildings on the right when you first get into to camp area they have bathrooms and you can find out about when they play a video about Hitler, his time in politics and the Holocaust, very informative. Also they play the video in lots of languages so check the times with the people in the building.5 of 5 for beautiful land5 of 5 for preservation of buildings4.5 of 5 for place being labelled with information4.5 for video and restrooms area, with museum area too." +Attraction,Date of experience: May 2013,Europe,Germany,Bavaria,"Helston, United Kingdom",Dachau,"A short train trip from Munich, and well worth the visit.A chilling example of what extremism and racial hatred can do. The bunker cells are gruesome.Tried three times to trace the route the prisoners marched from Dachau station to the camp, and failed to correctly identify three times. Various display boards along the way, but it really needs to be better signposted. As you some out of Dachau station board one appears to show you should go under the road, but I think you should go up the steps on the LHS just before the underpass. Then turn right, to traffic lights and turn right again, cross over and follow main road to camp. Only my assumption about way they walked, may be wrong. never managed to find board two, but board three is on that road to the camp.Portable GPS would have helped, but left mine at home. Not again.You could spend four or five hours going around the camp, and books DVD's for sale are excellent. The best book is The Dachau Concentration Camp 1933 to 1945, text and photo documents with CD. Best DVD is the documentary film Concentration Camp Dachau 1933 1945.

One is about the political achievements of Razak, Malaysia's second prime minister. The other is his residence and shows how the man and his family lived in comfort. One gets the impression he was a rather simple man, who liked reading in a quiet environment. Going through the political exhibition, the question whether Razak was a British stooge or not, does not pop up. His anticommunist credentials are mentioned, but not highlighted. It is as if his involvement in the military oppression of the communist opposition never happened, but then this was very much an undertaking by the British army. His NEP New Economic Policy is given a lot of attention, but the controversial aspects of it a racial policy to favor the Malays Bumiputra are downplayed. Razak's influence reaches far into the 21st century. One of his sons was recently forced out of office after corruption charges.

Tickets are available on LiveNation but also at the box office located right at the TLA, which saves you the convenience and surcharge fees from online. You will be hard pressed to find great shows like these for the outstanding price of 20pp anywhere else. Philly has an abundance of theaters for plays and musicals, concert halls and overall entertainment venues but most start at 60pp for any show. That being said, the TLA has little amenities and few updates to its building, interior and exterior. So if you fancy a place that you can have an expansive liquor selection, get a wonderful glass of wine or have a marble bathroom this is nowhere near for you. Negatives: The bathrooms are microscopic and often do not even have soap in the dispensers, their is almost always ""water"" on the floor in them, and the entire feel of the place is a bit grungy like it could use a reallllly good steam cleaning from top to bottom, side to side. Also, its 8 for a beer, and their are only about 45 beers to choose from Yards, Yuengling, etc. Positives: Completely relaxed vibe, they have chill bartenders and cocktail waitresses, loftstyle viewing from upstairs, 21 only section next to the bar on the first floor and a large standonly front row stage area. So whether you want to kick it on a stool and sip on some beer listening to your favorite bands, headbang and dance with up close and personal front row band action or if you want to overlook the crowd and get an on top of you view of the bands...the TLA has all of it. From 1880, people of all ages come and love it, from hipsters to college students to professors to music artists to nerds to grandmas, across the racial and sexual orientation spectrums, this place is comfortable and welcoming to all. No cavity searches: a quick look in a ladies purse by security no dumping the whole thing out, no grooming your body with their hands for 5min. Coat check: yesFood: yes, popcorn, candy and the like nothing moreDrinks: yes, small selection of beers and liquors but in large quantatiesVenue size: Intimately large, holds about 1000 but usually has no more than 600 not a place where you can't move aroundPolicy: ONE and only one no innout, once your in your inCameras ARE allowed but I wouldn't carry it in on your wrist, maybe in a pocketDress code: comfortable, jeans and a tshirt and not your brand new shoes you'll most likely step in some beer at some point in the evening.

The building itself is worth the visit. It is gleaming white, with sharp soaring angles that will almost stop you in your tracks, and a wonderful location within view of the national palace and literally just steps away from Monterrey's famous river walk. One side of the museum has a beautiful cascade with trees and other plantings. It's a favorite spot for picturetaking weddings and birthdays, especially girls' 15th but also a nice place to cool off on a hot day or dig into a brown bag lunch. See my picture.A new temporary exhibit, ""Between Ideas and Machine Guns: 19131914,"" will run through June 29, 2014. It offers a look at social and political developments in two confused years of violent revolutionary struggle. If you're interested in colorful figures like Emiliano Zapata or Francisco ""Pancho"" Villa, this is the exhibit for you. Don't miss the display of Villa's ornately embroidered canvas leggings, pistol and knife with beautifully decorated holster and sheath, and fancy belt. See my picture.A second temporary exhibit of much longer duration features Ivory religious effigies, highly decorated with handworked silver from the late 17th to the early 19th century. Whether you are religious or not, you will be thoroughly engaged by these beautiful images, many of them portraying the Virgin Mary in elaborate head dresses. They are stunning to behold. See my picture.The permanent exhibits are also interesting, featuring fine examples of preColumbian art many objects are delightfully anthropomorphic, a variety of historical artifacts that do a good job of telling Mexico's history in all its glory and tragedy, and a display of historical paintings depicting the interesting and then thought to be ""scientific"" notions of ""castes"" or racial mixes. Properly understood now to be examples of pseudoscience, they nevertheless offer insights into Mexican identity. An Englishlanguage video plays on a loop to help nonSpanish speaking visitors understand their significance.For amenities, there's a brand new book and gift shop, a snack bar on the lower level right by the river walk, and clean modern restrooms. Many days offer free entry, but the standard fee is 40 pesos, about 3 US, which gets you into this museum plus the Nuevo Leon museum connected by a glass walkway over the river walk, and also the exhibitions of the national palace across the plaza. It's a bargain.I have been to this museum four or five times in the last several months. You can do it in a day, or even a couple hours if you're pressed for time. Just don't miss it.

New Mexico was the center of many active groups, violently disrupted Ny Spanish explorers looking for gold in the 16th century. 1680 PuebloRevolt is depicted creatively as is the reconquest by the Spanish a dozen years later. Timelines showing events T the time in the English colonies and in Spain highlight the interconnectedness of the times. This is even more emphasized after Mexican independence when New Mexico and much of the West becomes MEXICAN AND NOT SPANISH. Nevertheless, the curators continue to emphasize the role of Native peoples. Borders becomes a major them over the next 80 years as The US brutally conquers Texas, California and the southwest, including New Mexico territory. The resulting Treaties of Guadeloupe Hidalgo in 1948 and the Gadsden Purchase a few years later doom Mexico to secondary status as a nation to this day. During the American Civil War, people of Native and Spanish/Mexican backgrounds are asked to fight either for an extension white enslavement of blacks or for its eradication. Water rights, the impact of the new railroad, and the rise of mining wealth all reflect the dynamism and rise of racial and economic inequality in the region. The history ends with the attraction of artists to the unique beauty and culture of New Mexico after 1900.

The visit, convenient by S Bahn was well worth it the site is striking for the well preserved Olympic venues including swimming track and field,soccer and several other competitions. Although the Nazis turned the games into a propaganda festival for the regime, the games were actually awarded to Berlin before they took power. To give the world a false impression, the Hitler gangsters removed anti Semitic signs, newspapers and overt militaristic symbols from the Berlin area to hide the regimes murderous core. It is important to note they operated a horrendous concentration camp just miles from the site.It is important this be kept in mind when one visits the site where many modern Olympic rituals were first used. The stadium has undergone interior renovation to make it a comfortable, exciting venue for sports and music concerts. The architectural changes enhance rather than detract from the original stadium, softening the harsh Nazi era interior. Restaurants are very good, seats are comfortable.The American military used the facilities following World War 2 .The entrance and ticket area is staffed by friendly people who are multilingual. A brief film about the site is multilingual as well, the gift shop offers tasteful items related to both the history of the site as well as the soccer team currently playing games in the stadium. A walk around the grounds is a pleasant experience. Signage is excellent.The highlight for me was seeing Jesse Owens name chiseled in 1936into the large list of winners at the Western entrance, prominently reminding us of his triumph that overshadowed Nazi ridiculous racial theories about the superiority of what they called the arayan race, a concoction of racist mumbo jumbo.You will not run into neoNazis on the grounds. The 1936 site has become a symbol of their monstrous defeat and the emergence of a truly democratic Germany from that horrendous nightmare into the postwar era. That said, it is critical that we never forget this was the site of games staged by perhaps the most evil regime of the modern era." +Attraction,Date of experience: July 2012,Europe,Germany,Berlin,"SouthendonSea, United Kingdom",Olympic Monument,"I have the delight of being the other half of an Olympic groupie....a visit to Berlin would not have been complete without coming here as if I had a choice...It is quite magnificent, ignoring the Nazi origins and focusing on the architecture alone you see a magnificent edifice and monument to the Olympic ideal.

The choir accompanied by brass on Easter Sunday was outstanding but of course is much smaller than First Methodist Richardson by a hundred folks. This is high church at 9:30 traditional but contemporary services blue jeans, shorts tshirts, still exist and thrive both at Smith Hall at 9:30 and now the BIG sanctuary at 11 a.m.Small groups which are the newest hallmark of any Methodist Church of this size, begin this April 8th and are a way to connect with real people who have real problems which brings us along to the next point.Churches no matter what denomination, size, shape, racial mix, are hospitals for sinnersnot museums for saints.If you are struggling with any number of issues, and want to go someplace where you will be helped not judged, then a Sunday School Class or contemporary worship where you can meet Arthur Jones or Allison Jean might be a place to connect and confide and overcome demons.

You were wrong and you are in Britain!' Now this is when it started to turn into racial profiling, because he didn't know where we were from! I've lived in London for 4 years and have never been asked to remove my hat, scarf or hoody rudely by anyone before, always kindly and with respect! He was so rude and I'm sure the nice lady who was comforting my mom will share this with the manager today, my mom promised me she will never come back to the store and all 4 of us too until this extremely rude security guard learns how to work in retail!

Our room needed additional surcharge of RM300... Not a small amount. Upon reaching there, we were excited, but was cut short by insufficient car parks. Dropped a few family members to check in, the queue was extremely long. Only 2 counters were operational. What is the purpose of having surcharge We have been waiting for 2 hours just for checking in. Lobby area was overcrowded. Not systematic at all. People are smoking just by the lobby's entrance.. which is choking the internal queuing area when the door kept open and close continuously. This is Malaysia where smoking regulations is not really enforced. Once we checked in, we were told to wait till 3pm for occupying our room.. so we decided to go to the water park. It is overcrowded.. people everywhere... the floor always in wet condition.. although there was a worker kept mopping the floor. The locals are not really following park dressing code.. non swimsuit can dip into the water.. long pants, long sleeves, track suit, hijab.. as long as you name it, you will see it there. I am not racist, but please follow the attire code, as multi racial folks are visiting the are as well.. they will feel uncomfortable as well. Again, people are smoking openly in the recreational park. Even a resort can't restrict non smoking regulation. Clearly there are going for money but not quality. I eventually giving up to play in the water park as the water is not clear... We were heading to the room..one of the elevator is not working.. walkway is dark... Side wall lamp cover is broken.. young boys or girls can get electrocuted easily. Room lock not working.. even scan the card multiple times, ended up back to lobby again which is a block away... manage to get in, the room is clean, but a lot of equipment is broken... window shades, washroom water hose, intercom etc. No toilet papers provided, no towels and no floor mat bathroom. The sheer curtains is spotty black.. haven't been washed for ages i believe.. Water basin is clog.. unable to flow water.. The worst part is safety, the window lock is broken... even a toddler can push and open the window easily.. luckily they didn't fall off the window, else it will be casualties.. attached photo Damn this hotel.. really frustrates me. Expensive and not worth of staying. Water flow is slow... not good for bath.. Breakfast is sucks.. not worth for extra money paid for extra person. Be smart, bring in your own food, better taste, happier.There are not much attraction nearby.. boring.. remember to bring in water.. a lot of them...I would not recommend this place at all to anyone.. i will never go back to this pale again... forever a bad memory spending my precious quality time in a unworthy resort." +Attraction,Date of experience: December 2016,Asia,Singapore,Singapore,unknown,A culturally significant place.

Firstly we had arranged, and received reminder emails the day before, to meet outside our hotel at 9.30am. The driver arrived at 9am, and was plainly anxious to leave immediately to go and collect 4 other passengers, so we rushed to get ready and set off about 9.15. We then waited in the bus for 65 minutes for the other passengers before phoning the company asking if we could either start our tour immediately or get a total refund. We left 10 minutes later and picked up the other passengers on the way. The tour description seems to indicate that we would have a leisurely trip and that it could be reasonably flexible to suit our interests. Instead we seemed to have a fixed itinerary and timeframe. Whats more we did not go to the final destination where we were supposed to have been able to go to little fish restaurants on the beach. Instead we were dropped off at our hotel at 2.30 rather dissatisfied and hungry. Other than the crowds, we enjoyed the places and sights we saw. It would have been more interesting, however, if our tour guide could have given us more indepth or informative details about what we saw and encountered. He did give us a fair amount of information but definitely not with the depth or insight weve come to expect from similar tours we have experienced around the world. Whats more right up front he started making derogatory comments about other racial groups which horrified us. In fact both the driver and the guide blamed the other passengers lateness on their ethnicity when their lateness was totally out of their control. I had to tell him we did not appreciate those sorts of comments. This is definitely not acceptable from any tour conductor!

But these riots obviously didn't represent all or most black residents, who realized full well that what happened was wrong; ethnic relations began to improve almost immediately thereafter. In fact, the neighborhood was originally mostly Jewish, but eventually many blacks moved in, especially Caribbean immigrants; during the racially tense 1960's 70's, whites Jews moved out, only the Chabad Hassidim of southern Crown Heights remained. Today the past is distant, there is no reason not to visit Crown Heights. The northern part, which is mostly AfricanAmerican, has recently seen an influx of whites moving in. There is a wealth of interesting architecture; use the architectural guidebook AIA GUIDE TO NEW YORK CITY. The southern part is mostly inhabited by adherents of Chabad, a Hassidic Jewish sect involved in outreach; unlike the otherwise insular Hassidim, Chabad strives to interact with the outside world.

Instead they had to kill all the Japanese soldiers on there for no valid reason....The nuclear bombs dropped on Japan Just a very small mention and even that only states that the Americans deliberately ignored all of Japan's efforts at peace negotiation.

The other focus is the community of croydon, and its local stories, told through selected objects, from the 1800s to the present.

No support. No respect.,"We booked Phi Phi Island tour with Rainbow Lanta. This is undoubtedly the worst tour during our stay in Krabi. Why It is neither informative or fun.The moment we got onto the boat, we felt like we were in a China mainlanders tour and to add on to that, the tour guide was not able to communicate with them properly in English or in Chinese, because at every stop, some of the Chinese would come to us asking what they tour guide just said both my boyfriend and I speak mandarin well. But okay, that is inevitable.First stop is a snorkeling spot, which I previously asked Mr Sak whether this is still suitable if we don't want to snorkel or swim at all. He said yes, so I assumed that we could at least walk around on the beach. But turns out that we had to stay in the wobbly and wet longtail boat watching other people having fun in the water, which for me is the least we'd expect. And to note that there is beach area nearby. Okay, I shouldn't have made such assumptions.On our way to Phi Phi Ley, the waves became ridiculously strong and our pathetic long tail boat was dangerously shaking left and right in the sea people were screaming on the boat and water kept splashing into our face. Half way there, I was soaked and my boyfriend could barely open his eyes and he was sitting almost in the center. But that's not the worst! Someone puked... And then another... And then another... And more people asked for plastic bags because the puking smell in the small boat and the continuous wobbly feeling made most of us feel sick. I asked the tour guide whether he has any sea sickness medicine, and he shouted angrily, ""No! No tablets!"" As if it was something that he shouldn't have prepared at all.When we got to the next stop, the tour guide asked us to snorkel or swim again. And this time, many of the people on the boat chose not to as they were feeling too sick to do anything. They all started asking how much longer the ride was and asking us to tell the tour guide that they wanted to go back early as they really couldn't take it anymore. I was expecting the tour guide to propose a contingency plan, yet he didn't have any. He told us that there is one more Caucasian girl who was still in the water and we needed everyone to vote on this decision as long as we didn't get 100 vote, we had to go back by ourselves. During the whole time, we felt like the meat in the sandwich the tour guide kept shouting at us that they needed everyone to vote and he couldn't even get the vote from who were already on boat as he couldn't make himself understood, and the Chinese tourists kept complaining to us about how sick they felt and begging us to convince the tour guide to change itinerary. Finally, the Caucasian girl came back and said she wanted to continue with the trip, so we told the Chinese tourists that this is what she signed up for, and she has the right to continue. They understood and asked whether we could be dropped off at the nearby beach about 20 meters away to take a 30min break, since the next stop maya bay is just nearby in that area, outside is phi phi Ley and inside is maya bay and the Caucasian girl will snorkel there for some time anyways. The tour guide said okay, but warned us that there would be a delay in returning time, which I don't understand why, but everyone was fine with the 30min delay. Seeing that most of the people on the boat didn't clearly understood what changes it would cause in the itinerary e.g. Did we have to skip one stop or no, we asked the tour guide again whether water at maya bay is more stable, he said yes. So we asked if possible, maybe could we quickly go into maya bay for 5min after our break so that at least we still kind of got to see what we signed up for. And when my boyfriend asked, he was just trying to figure it out with the tour guide on what is possible and whatever the answer was, he would then translate into mandarin and discuss with the Chinese tourists for a final alignment. But the tour guide just blasted him all of a sudden after hearing his question, ""YOU DON'T DECIDE WHERE TO GO! THEY DECIDE WHERE TO GO! I DECIDE WHERE TO GO!""... Wohhhh, he made it sound like we were trying to manipulate him by pushing for our own secret agenda! To be fair, if he had been able to show more support in that situation and put his message across, why would we even step up to be the mediator/translator! We don't deserve to be treated like this when we were just trying to help them do their job. And I found out later that the tour guide was also video filming when my boyfriend was talking I know they need evidence, but this by no means makes the customer feel comfortable.Other than above, 2 more things that I feel quite bad about:First is that they started pouring water onto the boat to clean up the puke without giving a headsup. And for God's sake, my sneakers were on the floor and the water was poured towards my direction someone puked right behind me... So gross and he could have at least warned me before he poured the water.Second is that they kept making racial remarks by saying ""They are all Chinese. The Chinese people want to go back early"" when explaining to the Caucasian girl. But hey, please figure out the nationality of everyone on boat before you speak it as if it were a fact, because it is not!

Bass attract wealthy land buyers to the southern California desert town. Bass and partner Bernard ""Bud"" Westlund owned Apple Valley Ranchos Land Development Co.The inn, which opened on Thanksgiving Day 1948, is a landmark in the community and a prominent feature in the history of Apple Valley.The inn was a popular vacation destination for Hollywood celebrities during the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. Frequent visitors included notable icons Bob Hope, Marilyn Monroe, John Wayne and Richard Nixon in its heyday. Entertainment for guests included such performers as cowgirl celebrity and famous trick roper, Texas Rose Bascom.The inn originally allowed only white Christians as patrons. Apple Valley Ranchos Land established racial policies in its covenants, conditions and restrictions CCRs dated Feb 14, 1946. The restrictions were increasingly relaxed throughout the 1950s as GI Bill money was used to purchase property.In 1954, screen writer and producer Roger Corman set part of his movie Highway Dragnet at the inn with extensive shots of the lobby, pool and exterior scenes. In 1956, director Douglas Sirk and producer Ross Hunter utilized the same features as the 'Palm Valley Inn' in the film There's Always Tomorrow.In 1965, movie stars Roy Rogers and Dale Evans and their family became residents of Apple Valley. Roy Rogers leased the inn and restaurant, which was then renamed Roy Rogers' Apple Valley Inn. The Outdoor Steak Fry and the Roy Rogers' Riding Stables, with its haywagon rides and horseback riding, were two popular enterprises attached to the inn. Mel Marion and then Billy Bascom managed the stables. Cowboy artist Earl Bascom and his artist son John worked there from time to time. Roy Rogers' personal horse, Trigger Junior, was frequently boarded at the riding stables.After many successful years, the inn closed to the public in 1987.

The Nagadeepa Purana Rajamaha Viharaya is one of the sixteen most sacred places of worship by the Buddhists in Sri Lanka. Pilgrims have been coming to the Nagadeepa since about the 1st century AC to worship at its famous Rajayathana stupa. The Rajayathana stupa was constructed by two warring Naga kings, Chulodara and Mahodara, at the site where Lord Buddha during His second visit to the country on a Bak Maha Amawaka Poya Day, five years after attaining Enlightenment, intervened and mediated in settling a dispute over the possession of a gemstudded throne. The precious throne was offered to the lord Buddha, was returned to the Naga Kings and was later enshrined in this Rajayathana stupa. History records that the Nagadeepa Purana Rajamaha Vharaya was developed and reconstructed by pious kings, Devanampiyatissa, Dutugemunu and converted into a fully accomplished sacred place. During the period of Portuguese, Dutch and British all the Buddhist religious places were destroyed and the Nagadeepa Viharaya too has been subjected to it and Buddhists were deprived of worshiping these religious places. In the year 1931 Ven. Randombe Somatissa Nayake Thero from Ambalangoda has visited this place and observed the ruins of the Rajayathana stupa and the Kiripalu Nuga tree and identified as the stupa constructed with the gem studded throne on which Lord Buddha has preached, and Thero then reconstructed this stupa with the support of donors to enabling Buddhists for their religious observances. Praveenacharya Damma Kiththi Sri Venerable Navadagala Paduma Kiththi Tissa Thero the Chief Sanganayake of the Northern Province is the present chief Incumbent of Nagadeepa Purana Raja Maha Viharaya and he is a pupil of former chief Incumbent Rajakeeya Panditha the Late Most Venerable Brahmmana Watte Damma Kiththi Tissa Nayake Thero of Amarapura Nikaya.

It floods me with pleasant Proustian impressions of beloved old libraries, natural history museums, rare book stores, and Wunderkammers. The museum is a mirror of the world, but the parts most of us give little thought because they are too weird, inconsequential, foreign, alienating, or taken for granted.One is free to roam the museum and explore its abundance of wonders, though there is usually a staff member or volunteer available for a tour or to ask questions you will indubitably have questions. Admission is a suggested donation of 5, and a guided tour is a suggested donation of 8. Children under 12 are admitted free. Nobody is ever turned away for lack of funds. This nonprofit museum seems clearly to be a labor of love and the small amount of money they ask is just to keep the project going, not to make a killing.Make sure to call ahead. We have learned from their newsletter that they've had to make some changes to their hours of operation due to the ongoing harassment and terror tactics of an aggressively intolerant neighbor who among other things screams racial and homophobic slurs at museum patrons. To my mind this is not a deterrent to visiting the museum, it makes it so much more important to go there and support them in the face of this shameful siege.Check out their website for listings of their special exhibits and live events! We have been to events there and they sure do know how to throw a party. You get live entertainment, sure, but you also have this comforting sense of being enveloped in a community.

I have been visiting this place every sunday for the past 10 years and as of recently everytime i visit im meeted out with racist remarks by pundits and workers at the ashram and i will not tolerate it anymore. This is Trinidad and Tobago and we try to live here as part of a multicultural society not one where we look down on others or ill treat others due to some misguided notion that one race is superior over another. Last sunday was the final straw when i was asked to leave the grounds because i had on my sneakers by a pundit from the ashram, whilst many other persons of east indian descent wasn't instructed to do the same. He asked me in a very rude manner if i would like anybody to walk in my house wearing sneakers and told me the concrete surrounding the murti is mopped dailywhich is a lie. I told him i have always followed the rules over these many years and was never ever told before to remove my shoes to walk around the grounds and not the actual ashram before by many pundits and workers to whom i speak to everytime i visit. Many other persons of east indian descent were there in shoes, slippers and sneakers as well but he only targeted me and and my friends because we are of african descent. This is outrageous and i will be writing to the ministry of tourism to inform them of this racist and disgusting treatment by the pundits and workers of this ashram. There is no excuse for this type of racism last sunday and the countless other times you were racist to me and other people of african descent." +Attraction,Date of experience: March 2019,Caribbean,Bahamas,New Providence Island,"Boston, Massachusetts",Frustrating place,"I have reviewed two other museums in Nassau and have given top reviews for each. I am usually a very enthusiastic endorser of museums, but this particular place drove me crazy. I wish I could break down my average rating because one part of this museum would rate a five, another few parts a one, and the rest somewhere in between. A one rating should be given to the recording system used if you are not on a tour, which we were told was not available to us. Not sure why. The small recorder kept stopping and then one had to go back to the beginning and try to fast forward to where it had stopped. I traded out my faulty recorder for a new one three times before giving up entirely since each recorder stopped working, and I never got beyond part of the second room with the recorder. The narration on the recorder was secondrate, in any event. Another one rating should be given for the almost total lack of labels or written explanations of the exhibits with a few exceptions. A two rating should be given for the fact that this museum needs serious editing. It seems that any and every artifact given to the museum is on display without regard to the worthiness of its place in the collection. Someone with museum experience needs to assess the collection and carefully choose what should be on display at a particular time. Then within each room, care needs to be taken to present the artifacts in a meaningful way with appropriate context. This museum does not have much space and they have a lot of material; the result is that much of the collection just looks like stuff emptied out of someones attic. One exhibit, however, rates a five. Along one long hallway there is a fascinatingly appalling collection of black memorabilia that spans a period of many years. This collection does have labels and some explanations. The casual and cruel racism of these pieces is eyeopening. I have seen other collections of similar material over the years, but this display is the most comprehensive and, consequently, the most revealing of them all. It is hard to look at this collection without becoming enraged at the ignorance and arrogance of those who originally created and displayed these pieces. If someone visits the museum with children, this particular display needs to be approached with a great deal of sensitivity and explanation." +Attraction,Date of experience: August 2018,Caribbean,Bahamas,New Providence Island,Moshi,Amazing Artifacts about Racism and Slavery,I went to here prior to doing the Tru Bahamian Food Tour. We visited the Heritage Village starting with the art museum and then discovered this place by the Graycliff Hotel and Restaurant. They have great old signs and paper clippings and books and tons of advertisements from about a century ago that show how racism was entrenched in marketing back then. I wish I had more time to be there because in the glass cabinets there is so much to see. The tour starts with a guide and they have audio tours as well. +Attraction,Date of experience: January 2017,Mexico,Jalisco,Puerto Vallarta,unknown,High expressions of racism and classism,"This place reminds me the worst night I spent during my holidays in Puerto Vallarta, considering that I've been subjected to a serious form of discrimination for part of the club's staff. On a Saturday, as soon as I put a step into the bar, one of the waiters suddenly came and told me that I could not enter the club because of the way I look like. That night I was dressing a quite formal black chemise and gray pants, while I was carrying my colorful backpack with my jumper inside. I don't think my attire was the problem. Indeed I genuinely believe that the waiter took that attitude because I'm not a prototypical white blond hair blue eyes gringo like the vast majority of tourists who visit Vallarta and fill up the pockets of greedy club owners like this one. I got furious at that moment and told the waiter that this racist and classist forms of social exclusion were considered as a crime in this country. He apologized and confessed that it was his first day of work and his boss told him not to allow the entrance to Mexicans who did not look particularly wealthy. I think this way of working is deplorable and socially unethical, and the club's owners should be ashamed of perpetuating these classist and xenophobic practices." +Attraction,Date of experience: April 2017,Mexico,Central Mexico and Gulf Coast,Mexico City,"Mexico City, Mexico","Great learning experiences of how intolerant behaviours, discrimination, racism and genre abuse occur in real life","The first 2 top floors flows from top to bottom are a jews' holocaust showcase; museography is excellent; it never stops being startling and heart grippling. The path leads the visitor afterwards to the description of genocides in Rwanda, the Armenian and Cambodian genocides, which have hapened not so far in the past of our humanity. The temporary exhibition presents the crude reality of feminicides in Mexico.Overall this museum a great educational opportunity on the said subjects." +Attraction,Date of experience: March 2017,Mexico,Central Mexico and Gulf Coast,Mexico City,"Vancouver, Canada",Excellent but heartwrenching,"I did not know about this museum until I saw it located on a map of Mexico City, and being interested in how institutions describe human rights, I headed over on a sunny, Saturday afternoon. What I wasnt expecting was a long line of people of all ages, including numerous groups of teenagers, waiting to purchase tickets. Ive been to other memorial museums, and usually they are somber spaces, with school tours ushered through on weekdays, empty on weekends. Not this time. Tickets in hand, one gets into another line to pass through airportstyle security, then a third line to take the elevator to the fifth floor where the exhibitions begin. The focus of the top two floors is on the rise Nazism in 1930s Germany, the increasing levels of oppression directed at the Jews and some others, including people with disabilities, the invasion of the rest of Europe, and implementation of the Final Solution. The story is told through horrifying text, images and artifacts, including a rail boxcar used to transport prisoners to concentration/extermination camps. One then moves through a series of galleries that describe each of seven other genocides that took place in the 21st century, emphasizing that the call never again has not been heeded. But this museum wisely does not let Mexico off the hook. Several galleries describe serious human rights challenges in Mexico: focusing on the treatment of migrants, xenophobia, disappearances, and high levels of violence against women and girls. The last several galleries invite visitors to reconsider racism, fear of others and violence, and to develop a plan of action which they suggest includes supporting this museum. I had an English audio tour headset that provided short descriptions of each gallery, but the exhibitions were clear and powerful even without the translation. It looked like most the visitors the day I was there were local, but this is an excellent, albeit heartwrenching, museum to visit if you are spending some time in Mexico City." +Attraction,Date of experience: December 2016,Mexico,Central Mexico and Gulf Coast,Mexico City,"Los Angeles, California",It's in the courtyard of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs....,"This amazing museum sits right next to the Foreign Affairs Ministry. As such, you can easily walk right past it. The holocaust is covered on the top two floors and these are on par with the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC. What's unique about this museum is that it goes on to cover a number of other atrocities Guatemala, Cambodia, Armenia, Darfur, etc. On the two lower floors it segues into discrimination, racism, and the need for more human understanding in the world.

That is the first half, the second half is a lesson on what we all can do individually with lectures and examples of discrimination, racism etc ... linked very much to Mexicans, before you walk out past stories of 6 different charities to donate to, with big boxes and then the final exit through ..... where of course .... the gift shop ... which kinda tainted things for me.

Second visit was uncomfortable and disappointing considering the first visit was okaywith staff touching my hair without asking and a waiter pretending to speak Chinese for at least 12 seconds he also asked if we were German, Japanese and French but settled on Chinese when we were clearly/visibly not...it was horrible and felt like an eternity that he put on this ""show"". We felt pressured to buy shots and clearly unliked that I, a Black female, was the one that ordered first and also paid. My husband was uncomfortable and was about to swat away the staff members from touching my ethnic hair but we feared retaliation or issues we left sooner than expected.Note earlier in the day is better too less staff at your table pressuring JellO shots, tequila etc. Food was good and filling good price as is most in Cancun.

Hmmm... I wondered. Whats going on here....He tells me that he is going to report a hate crime because someone called him the N word. Hes black. My daughter is black and my son is white as snow he has chronic myeloid leukaemia so hes small and very pale looking.I quickly got attention of the staff members because I was so shocked.Justin district manager comes and tells me he will handle it and they found the kids.I said no, I have every right to know why they called him a ""N""That is NOT okay.So lets say when I saw these kids, they were small 810 years old white.The manager did not do any service to us.Justin told me he asked my kids to get together and talk about what happened and my kids didnt want to.So Justin told me, he doesnt believe it happened at all.I asked why I wasnt called at all if they knew about this before hand. This is a not okay to call a child that is black.The kids who said it, said they never said anything to anyone. I got fired up, I took Justin to my car. Kids in the back seat. 2 black kids and my son in the middle seat.I asked what happened and I was serious. I didnt care how it started. I needed to know the truth. It started by my son waiting for his friend outside the bathroom. These two kids were at the basketball area telling my son he is a try hard My sons friend came out and told them he wasnt a try hard.It went from that to these kids saying their dads were hockey players and they drive all these fancy cars to calling my sons friend a ""N"". White privileged kids were said back to the kids who said the N word.Now to my disappointment, Justin laughed when I told him these kids were calling my son a try hard he has full blast cancer and can be awkward within his body but he is a quiet kid I also told Justin that my son never lies, I looked right at my son and he told me the truth about it. Thats one thing about my son. He wont lie to me. Justin laughed again. Justin told me he doesnt think it happened.I crossed my arms and I got close to him and i was so upset he didnt see the issue.He laughed, he fluffed it off, he didnt do anything.He said a few things loud to me at my car and my bf told Justin to not raise his voice at me.Justin walked away. No care In the world. Come to find out, these kids who started it, got into trouble many different times while at the park. Why isnt a parent called when kids cant handle themselvesWhy do we send our kids to a save haven place and Justin clearly showed me, they dont care!Laughing at this matter and disrespect towards handling it. You should be ashamed of yourself, in your position.My kids loooveeeeee this park.

" +Attraction,Date of experience: June 2018,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,"Amsterdam, The Netherlands",Really interesting visit ,"This museum was top on my list of things to do in Liverpool.Overall it was excellent and very informative. The content on display was fascinating with some of it so awful, I had goosebumps. There were some very powerful items that really got across just how dehumanised these poor people were, and how white people justified their barbaric actions. The video exhibits were particularly hard to watch but very effective at getting across the horrors of the slave ships. On our way out, we read stories of black/mixed race people in Britain and their experiences of racism. It was a good end to the museum as it drilled home that the shackles, plantations and whips were undoubtedly awful, but racism isnt just limited to these horrors...it happens in the streets of this country too.However, as a previous reviewer mentioned, the layout is very confusing. There are some arrows on the floor, but not enough to make it obvious which direction you should be taking. I thought the flow of the exhibition was slightly odd too...you skip from the slave ship part to modern day legacy to a timeline which according to the arrows you end up viewing in a strange order they have you start at the most recent time and work your way back. Not how Id usually view a time line personally! and then finally to a part about life on the plantation. It wasnt a very logical order in my opinion!Its located in the same building as the Maritime Museum the Int Slavery Museum occupies the third floor of the Maritime Museum and entry is free. Gift shop on the ground floor had some interesting books on the topic of Slavery." +Attraction,Date of experience: June 2018,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,"Leicester, United Kingdom","Informative, but layout confusing","It was a very moving and evocative exhibition.However, having read widely on the slave trade there wasn't anything particularly new I learned.But for someone new to the subject it is very informative and there is lots to learn.I do feel however that the exhibition mixes up the slavery with racism and many of the personal stories whilst disturbing in their own right were stories of racism endured rather than slavery.Also there is no flow with regards to the history of slavey within the physical layout of the exhibition. You are not guided chronologically but rather it seems there is a bit here and bit there and a bit in the middle.A great subject matter let down by poor implementation." +Attraction,Date of experience: May 2018,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,"Market Harborough, United Kingdom",Nothing new on this topic,Expected more of this and did not really come away with anything not known beforehand other than the slave trade started in 1500s and the first dealings were in South America.

They have added a board with people's stories of racism which is harrowing and so sad. There are many exhibits also which shows what it must have been like. Many interactive elements also such as listening to earhpones and scratch and sniff etc which allows the children to fully understand what it is all about. They have made the museum accessible for everyone. In the same building there is also the maritime museum and downstairs is all about imports/exports which is also very interesting. I love how liverpool has put an emphasis on slavery when it was of course one of the major port cities which would have made it a hub for the slave trade, it is a very respectful thing to do.Not only is it about slavery but also about African culture and customs which makes it more positive rather than negative." +Attraction,Date of experience: July 2017,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,"Boston, Massachusetts",Worth visiting!,This museum is worth visiting especially for those who know little of the horrors of slavery and the impact it still has on our lives.

One of the most powerful for me, for what it represented, was an original Ku Klux Klan uniform.The legacy of the trade was depicted clearly by personal stories of racism suffered by individual Liverpudlians right up to the 1990s but also by the stories of people who had triumphed over such bigotry.My son and I were very moved me to tears by the exhibition.

The fact that these people were treated as chattels that could be bought and sold is a sobering thought but then again it still goes on today for women in terms of vice. It also gave an insight into the treatment of these people without being graphic. it also gave an insight in the racism that underlies slavery and how it continues in today's environment. I found it profound and disturbing. I also found some of the contemporary commentaries a valuable addition to the how it has past down through the generationsWhile I was in awe what has been done by and through the Liverpool authorities I would have like to see more exposure of slavery as it exists today, particularly of women.

I don't see anyone smiling in this museum and rightly so. With modern day quotes about racism as you walk in then the horrific stories of the slave trade. At this point in time I'm ashamed to be human. We've not learnt anything well some of us have say no to racism/xenophobia. This museum is an ideal place to realise that misanthropy is all I can feel for now. I'll give this place a 5 but in all honesty not one of the interactive things worked sort that out. It's a very sad place to visit. +Attraction,Date of experience: December 2015,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,"Toronto,Canada",One of the best museums,"This was one of the best museums I have ever had the opportunity to visit. The museum did an incredible job at displaying the horrors African slaves experienced from their first contact with Europeans to how modern deceants continue to deal with prejudice and racism. I had chills as I walked through certain rooms and read quotes on the walls about slaves and former slaves. Wall after wall,room after room I was more shocked and moved. I learnt a great deal about the docks located in Liverpool played an important role in the transatlantic slave trade.

It gives a nice overview of the slave trade, it displays items related to slavery, such as slave pennies, shackles, pictures of slaves, a painting of slave castle Elmina in Ghana. Also modern forms of racism KKK and exploitation oil companies in Nigeria are treated.

The horrendous treatment of slaves on the ships was hardly touched upon. A large model showing the way the slaves were transported would have been good. I would also suggest a place where people could lie to see just how little space there was with chains and shackles. Also more on the treatment of the slaves on the plantations and the punishments they endured.

However, I found the dominant focus of this museum appeared to be convincing its audience that slavery was a negative thing, something I feel never needed establishment in the first place. Additionally, it seemed to be a celebration of African culture and attempt to portray the ongoing effects of African racism in modern society, which given it is a meant to be an international slavery museum, misses the point completely. Sadly, at times it felt like an exercise in promoting white mans guilt and very much felt like a missed opportunity to present a disturbing yet intriguing period of modern history. The information presented is also very disjointed. It is apparently been set up chronically, with the first being the life in west Africa, before the onset of transatlantic slavery. The next is in regards to Enslavement and the middle Passage, whilst the last deals with the legacies of transatlantic slavery. Of these, I felt only the middle belonged in the museums, with others seemingly too tangential, with political undertones." +Attraction,Date of experience: October 2014,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,"Toronto, Canada",Disappointed.,"Went in as a part of a school group looking at the history and identity of Liverpool, and had initially been excited to have this location as my focus. Sadly, it did not hold up to the standards of other museums throughout England and I feel did not properly address the subject that it was covering.Layout was a little weird, with no proper ordering to the exhibits seemed to start in the ""aftermath"" section, then to the shipping of slaves, then awkwardly passing through more aftermath, racism etc. with a special exhibit placed off to the side that would contribute to the experience and understanding of the important piece of the world that it presents. Additionally, it paid almost no attention to Liverpool's hand in the trade and transportation of Liverpool, which would have made it stand out in the way of Slavery Museums. The exhibits mostly focused on how Liverpudlians of slave descent and not were working to right the wrongs, or move away from slavery, or pointing out the horrible things done to the people elsewhere. Basically, the exhibit could have been anywhere in the world. The few mentions of Liverpool and England and their involvement in the Slave Trade was minimal and dismissive, and appeared to myself and many of my classmates to be almost propagandaish in their attempts to avoid mentioning their involvement.The only thing I actually enjoyed and by enjoy, I mean appreciate was the special exhibition of the atrocities committed in the Congo, and the photos taken by a couple during a period of time to document these atrocities." +Attraction,Date of experience: July 2014,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,"London, United Kingdom",Disappointing disjointed badly organized,"Important subject matter which deserves a much better presentation. It would make sense to follow some sort of time line through the museum the background to the slave trade, it's development, the economic impact on the countries involved, rebellion by slaves movement against slavery, impact of the banning of slavery eg US Civil War, post slavery racism, impact of slavery on some of the countries involved, current slavery in the world and what is being done to fight it. Instead of something like this one starts with a wall of information about the Toxteth Riots in the mid 1980s and what follows is a mish mash of items, displays and videos with very little logic in it's organisation.

It's presented in different forms interviews, documents, artefacts, sound effects, photos, interactive displays so much that you could easily spend half a day there.I agree with a previous reviewer that not enough was made of the fact that many Africans were captured and sold into slavery by their fellow Africans. It wasn't only European merchants who were responsible for the slave trade, but it WAS Europeans who abolished it!I was a little surprised that the Slavery aspects of the exhibition morphed into aspects of Racism, as if the former was responsible for the latter.

The first thing that confronts you as you go through the door is a wall about the 1981 Toxteth Riots. Sorry but that has nothing to do with Slavery, however you dress it up with political comments about institutional racism. The few exhibits with factual information were very interesting, as were the films about the life of a slave. More should be made of this sort of exhibit. The comments from random black celebrities were unhelpful and irrelevant. Just because someone has a dark skin colour and is on TV or national Radio doesn't automatically mean they are an expert on the history of the slave trade. Fine if they are speaking directly about their own family history, but otherwise leave the politics out of museums and let people make up their own minds from the FACTS as documented by your own city records. Yes, slavery was a terrible thing and it is great that it was abolished. That point almost doesn't need making when you read the figures on your ship ledgers. But where was the information about the poor white people who were also taken on board ships to be sold as slaves Where is the information on those who lived in Africa and sold their own people into slavery What about the Arab slave traders There is lots that could have been said in this museum but they wasted the wall space on irrelevant politically correct vapid comments from celebrities.

And, yes, you can find most of that buried in the confusing bundle of information, videos, and interactive displays not all of them working available in the museum. But there's an agenda at work here that does not help. It's essentially: west/whitebad, African/blackgood. While there is plenty to justify that in the context this was on the same scale as the Holocaust, albeit over a much longer period we hear nothing about the Africans who were actively involved in the trade in their own areas, or the Arab slave trade on the east coast of Africa. The globally leading role of the British abolitionist movement is there, but only just. Yet we then get a lot of stuff about the evils of globalisation when what's meant is unfair trade practices, and the problems in the Nigerian oil fields no, I couldn't see much of a link either, There was some good stuff on the lasting impact of the transatlantic trade though it wasn't clear whether it was the cause or the effect of racism. But there was little about how modern slavery works, who are the victims and who are the people who exploit them, although there was one moving video interview with a former domestic slave, though we're not told who her masters were.

I was not in a ticketed area, I was sitting on a bench in the lobby. I told her that we had visited yesterday and that I just wanted to use the wifi for a minute. She angrily told me that wifi was for the cafe and if I wanted to use it I should go up there and buy something. She was so rude and panicked looking I thought she may have been reacting to my skin color, which is black. She did not question anybody else in the lobby. I did go to the cafe, bough a cappuccino from a very sweet cashier cafe gets 5 stars. I checked that my book was indeed on my phone, left with my coffee to read outside.

We were so shocked by what had happened we decided to take a separate taxi back to Paris even if it meant incurring additional costs we were scared that we would be abused and humiliated by this guide even on the way back home. This guide was extremely racist toward clients of Asian descent she had accused us many times of not been able to understand her clear instructions for context my wife and I grew up in Australia and English is our first language. Instead of explaining to us the rich history of the Palace, our guide was more focused on telling us when she had to depart for her next tour. She explicitly said that she would not wait more than 5 minutes for a client on the return trip as she had afternoon commitments this statement was extremely offensive for a tour guide. oOther points to note:Upon her arrival at her hotel she immediately told us how inconvenient we were located for her to pick us up We were accused of not being considerate when we had rearranged the seating in the car such that my wife and I could sit next to our respective parents who cannot speak English well and are in their 60s. She started screaming at us for this when a simple explanation would have been more than sufficient. She treated us like 2nd class citizensThe final guest we picked up was of Korean decent, but instead of listening to the client who told her many times she was Korean, she continued to introduce/refer her as a Japanese tourist. And throughout the trip made various remarks suggesting that she had to do more work due to the clients lack of English speaking abilitiesThe final straw came when we were accused of misleading the group as we had all taken Entrance B instead of Entrance A to Palace. Why would anyone want to mislead the group and enter the wrong entrance, when we paid a sizeable amount of money to come on a guided tour because we were obviously foreigners to the country. Instead of acknowledging her own shortfalls she decided to blame us for our lack of understanding of the English language. She could have just asked whether we didnt hear her instructions but no, she started again yelling and screaming at us as if we were 5 year olds and telling us we were RUDEAlso please take note that this is not a guided tour in the traditional sense, as the only information if any that you will receive from the guide will be dished out in the car ride to the Palace. It was safe to say that our guide was not able to properly explain anything to us whilst navigating the traffic of Paris. Most of the time she was confusing the various Kings of France Louis 14, 15 16 and their background story and achievements with one another. I found reading the Wikipedia summary on my iPhone to be much more informative Our general advice to all is avoid Paris Euroscope at all cost our guide was abusive and rather than facilitating a new informative visit she completely ruined our experience.For those that care, the total cost of our tour was 356 89 x 4 for this amount we received a ride to the palace, a ticket to tour the palace, emotional abuse and was confronted with a racist. In comparison a normal taxi ride there and back together with tickets would have cost around 120 almost a third the price. Please do your homework, if given the choice again I would never have used Paris EuroscopeWe made a formal complaint to Paris Euroscope and spoke to Jean Christophe and was told the matter would be investigated and we would be called back that afternoon but this obviously did not eventuate. Clearly they didnt think it was a serious enough issue. We had also asked for the name of the tour guide so others may avoid her at their choosing but this was not released to us.

It is, overall, a very good museum; if you want to read every panel and take everything in there are also some videos and clever animations, you will need to have more than 2 hours to do everything. I particularly enjoyed the comparisons and explanations of the various major religions, as this could be educational for most of us.The following points are nitpicking, but would make it an excellent experience: first, some of the texts are too small, or too low down, to be read if you try to approach some of them to read them better, you trigger the audioalarm ""Please stand back!"". This was a bit annoying, as there is no way one can read these panels otherwise; they are too low to be read by adults and I and my companion are not particularly tall. Secondly, it would have been good to present the nonEuropean objects alongside objects coming from European countries, or even Germany, as the collections did not include these. However, it would be of interest to compare say bridal wear from foreign countries at the beginning of the 20th century with similar garments in Germany of that time. Finally, it would be great if the museum allowed for a different order for walking through the very generously spacedout exhibition sections.

The NoPointMuseum,"There are good facts about this museum. First and foremost the technology they are using is impressive,except for the audio guide there are showcases which wait for your touch to light up and display the description of the artifacts,interactive books which display their content after the page is turned and many audiovisual descriptions. The welcome video is very moving, people from all over the world greeting each other and the guest in their language, I couldn't get enough of it. Also the personnel is very helpful, excluding the man in the audioguide desk which speaks very little English and gets rude when you ask him questions although it was not my fault he gave me the wrong audio guide... And that's about it.The main subject of this museum is supposed to be antiracism, displaying objects and aspects of everyday life in the former European colonies,together with the stories of the discoveries/exploitation of those lands. First and foremost,it goes wayyyyy on about the discoverers,how they got tattoos,how were their houses decorated etc etc. Why would anybody be interested in such details ""here is the basin that dr. Oppenheimer used when shaving...."" Seriously When we leave dr. Oppenheimer's lavishly decorated salon,we are placed in a big white room which shows videos describing how coloured peoplebwhere considered dangerous and/or contaminated,and how they were exploited and how that is wrong and so on. Those descriptions however are done in such an intense tone that they border on racism towards Europeans. As a European I didn't enjoy that very much. I like to believe that those where mistaken opinions of the past and to move on, not have someone throw them in my face. I am fully aware that our separate societies can't be considered 100 percent racismfree, but my main argument is this : even if there are such narrow minded people they will never visit such a museum to have their narrowmindedness thrown in their faces. For the more understanding people like me however, this museum was mostly a live repetition of the things/stories/utensils that I had already seen in encyclopedias.My third and final argument about this museum is that the showcases are DISTURBING! And it gets worse room by room! Voodoo dolls, hideous headdresses, the ugliest statues I had ever seen, videos of wailing during funerals and live making of mummies Shouldn't someone have put these in the description I don't have a very thick stomach and frankly, I left disturbed, to put it mildly. Last but not least, in the description it is mentioned that 12 hours are needed to see everything. Normally that would be the case, however, the audio guide goes on and on about every showcase for around 4 minutes and there are approximately 100 showcases. Adding the videos and the inwall audio descriptions,one might as well need 34 hours to see and hear everything as detailed as it's supposed to be. Needless to say, the endless rambling of the audioguide bothered me so much I hardly used it... Summarizing the above, I think this would be a hit museum some 3040 years earlier but for 2014 I think it's a bit outdated and blah, technology aside. Also fair warning, it is NOT pretty. I wouldn't rate it an experience I would have liked to have skipped, but it wasn't pleasant either." +Attraction,Date of experience: December 2012,Europe,Germany,North RhineWestphalia,"Caernarfon, United Kingdom",An intelligent museum,"This museum is a collection of ethnic items collected by a German in the nineteenth century. Unlike many such collections which are a jumble of unrelated items this one has been put into an intelligent order and context. It has taken the theme that all human beings have the same motivation to display their gender, status, wealth, power, by means of outward appearance and rituals. So the ritualistic dress of Queen Elizabeth opening parliament with a crown and medals etc. is put side by side with the headman of a tribe in Africa or Asia wearing feathers or animal skin or some bones to show status and privilege. Suddenly the natives did not look so strange after all and Queen Elizabeth could also be seen in the context of a leader of a tribe. One of the items in the museum which struck home was the question ""When did you realize you were white"" This was in the context of the racism we take for granted around us from advertisements for chocolate using black people as ""exotic"" to cartoons about cannibalism. I left the museum with many ideas to think about which made the visit worth while. I have not mentioned the modern building and all the facilities including a bookshop and cafe.

Let alone the staff members always put a poker face as if you owe them one million euros. Regarding the academic spirit of this university, it is more than ridiculous. A typical example is what happened in my thesis defense, in which my thesis composed in English was being judged by a catalan professor who did not speak English at all.CAN YOU BELIEVE THATThe courses I enrolled in were 100 lectured in English as announced by the uni, yet in the final defense you sent a Catalan who did not know English to judge my effort and my work and my contributionWHERE IS YOUR CONSCIENCEFurthermore, in my study there were two groups being compared Turkish and Chinese students with B2 level of Spanish and English. However, during my defense, this catalan woman said in Spanish that even if when both the Chinese and Turkish student groups have the same level of B2, Chinese students still perform worse than Turkish students. REALLY I WAS SHOCKED.I am not sure whether I am being oversensitive, but still I sense that her statement is tinted with racial discrimination. Meanwhile, I am not sure from what database she managed to render such a conclusion. If there is one, please do share with me.Second, this catalan woman disapproved of my ""lengthy"" reference list. But if my memory does serve me well, the standards in the TFM do require students to faithfully reflect their literature references in the work. Although she stated that it was impossible for me to read that much, thus again I am confused: Is reading ""too much"" a mistake for those who strive in academic field Is faithfully reflecting the literature review also a mistake And on what basis was she certain that i was ""not possible to read that much"" Plus, when announcing my grade, she simply walked out and told my grade while refusing to let me enter into the classroom. Thus I really have no idea what I have done to be treated so differently.Also, I am aware of the fact that she is unable to pronounce my Chinese name, but it was not necessary for her to show such contempt on her facial expression." +Attraction,Date of experience: June 2017,Europe,Spain,Catalonia,"Lima, Peru",A Joke Univeristy,"The worst educational institution I have ever seen in my entire life.

What he didn't realise is that I was fluent in German and I knew what the German family spoke to this guy. It was a simple case o mathematics.

After about four voicemail messages and numerous emails managed to get a response and rebooked though I wish I'd just gone with the refund.Fraser Island is beautiful and I camped in a lovely location and the facilities were adequate hence the two stars.However what did let it down was:1. The transportation: after settling ourselves in we were told that there was no aircon, no radio and the speedometer was broken. It was later found that half of the seatbelts in the back were either missing or defective the group tour was a total of eight. There was a Bluetooth speaker which meant that one of the group played endless Ed Sheeran, Oasis and Shakira.2.

I had to face the tantrums of a grumpy co passenger behind me who refused to let me recline my seat though the person in front reclined it to the fullest extent. When I pointed this out to the stewardess instead of convincing the grumpy co passenger she told me curtly to put my seat ahead. Barely a few minutes later when i was informing my family over a 1 minute call that I have boarded safely, the stewardess came back with a complaint from the same copassenger saying I should disconnect the call since the others were getting disturbed listening to a foreign language. Looking at my plight a kind co passenger exchanged his seat with mine but he was made to go through the same torture of discrimination. The stewardess revised to serve the Asian customers like us after the initial round of beverages. If called she would screech WAIT and scamper off never to return for taking order. She also forcefully charged most of us for extra baggage for the small bags which are considered as cabin baggage in aircrafts. Her behaviour completely changed when an European passenger took the seat I had left in the night and told off the grumpy co passenger bluntly that she had to be more accommodating towards others in the bus. Thats when I protested again and the Stewardess assigned a new seat to the grumpy lady.To my consternation I had sent a complaint email to the management that very evening which was responded to a month later. They narrated a biased story and sided their staff and blamed me for the incorrect position of my seat and my loud phone calls. I was traveling solo and my phone call had barely lasted a minute. No foreign traveler would blow up a fortune on making international phone calls during their trip abroad.Nevertheless I am appalled by their abominable service and lack of apathy towards customers. They are extremely shortsighted in their approach. My second trip to Budapest with them was hassle free and they did not charge me for the same baggage. Even after pointing that out the management felt as a passenger I was crying foul.Flixbus is better any day. They treat all customers equally with the same amount of attention. Moral of the story: Better to travel by Flixbus though its a wee bit more pricey but ensure peace of mind and self respect is intact.

It hits home what racism is capable of doing. Unfortunately be warned we were part of a large group approx 20 people and it seemed there were multiple groups being pushed through giving you little time to absorb and reflect. Our tour guide was a nice man who spoke good English but unfortunately I struggled to understand him at times due his deep highly accented voice. During Auschwitz we did however have headsets so despite struggling with my arthritic hips and always holding the group up I did get to hear about most of what others could see. Felt rushed and struggled with the fast pace. No access for wheelchair users to safely visit. The ground was rough and muddy so wear good boots. Auschwitz have 1.5 million visitors a year so I can understand the speed needed to get every one of us around but I wish I could have had more time to reflect at a less painful walking speed. If you have any mobility issues then you may struggle. I wish I'd done a little more research on the types of tours before I booked. Perhaps a top private tour would be better for you and take advice from the organisers who may be able to accomodate you better. Will cost more but try and go.

After the bouncer asking them twice not to drink their own alcohol in front of the club, they were informed that their night in the club had come to an end and that they would have not been allowed in again.Once my friend and I tried to get in again since we had no part in the issue, we were also Polishstylekindly informed that we could not set foot in the club again.

This had 2 parts 1 hour of castle tour 30 mins of city tour. The castle tour went smoothly and was informative. Next was the city tour. Unfortunately, I had such a horrifying racist experience here with the guy handling the counter, that it left me in tears.This guy's name was Vladimir and he was wearing the company's yellow tshirt. He was courteous in the beginning. I was the only passenger and we were waiting for a couple of more to join in the 6 seater presporacik ride across the city. Things turned for the worse when a family of 4 came in. One of the family members started occupying my seat. When I said that I am sitting there and hence my belongings are there, one of them started to protest saying they wanted to sit there. It was fine till here and we would have resolved this matter ourselves.All of a sudden, the company representative, Vladimir jumps in and says I am the chief here, a family will be given the first preference so you must either take the leftover seat or Get Out of the Bus. I was taken aback with this attitude and explained to him that I can take the next seat too. But he said No, the only option for me is the seats that were leftover after the 4 people had occupied their seats and if I don't like it I should GET OUT OF THE BUS. Having said this insultingly he banged the door on my face leaving me standing outside.I had already paid and there was no time for me to see Bratisalva later as I was leaving shortly so I went on the tour despite feeling humiliated and in tears. I wanted to see the city despite this man making it such a miserable situation. Bad decision. While on the 30 min ride, I called the tour office info@tour4u.sk twice and emailed them 34 times in a span of 4 hours...all they had to say was we are the best tour company here, this cannot be possible. I asked them to verify the story with the bus driver who was sympathetic to me as he could see how downright insulting and rude the company representative was.Anyways, the story doesnt end here. Once I got back to the same spot, I asked the Vladimir and the people wearing the yellow tshirt that I would like to speak with the manager. VLADIMIR says that I am the manager here and he continues You get out from this country, GO TO YOUR COUNTRY. Wow! After all the insults earlier, now I get a first hand taste of what racism against brown skin is. As a single brown woman traveller, being judged and insulted for your skin color from a white man of Tour4u was quite the experience. Having travelled to quite some countries in Europe, Asia, Middle East, Africa, honestly I have only had the nicest experiences.

The amount of overt discrimination weve suffered as young, minority patrons was terrible but even worse was the reaction we got when we tried to talk to management over it.Over the past 2.5 years, weve had a negative interaction with the floor docents every single time weve visited. From being asked to leave the exhibit because it was members only while we were visibly wearing our membership pins to being yelled at while walking on the stairs to watch our head, weve been through it all.We heard that they museum appointed a Diversity Officer, so on our visit dated Oct 28th, when we experienced discrimination we decided to finally say something.I went up to the membership front desk and explained that I was unhappy and thats why we had decided not to renew our membership. The young woman at the front desk was nice and she said shed like to get a supervisor who had more authority to help.The supervisor was a young white man who took a bad situation and made it worse. When I explained the situation to him he said its the first time Ive ever heard anything like this and maybe the docents were having a bad day when I visited. At that point, I had had enough of the victim blaming mentality he was displaying and so I told him that it was not acceptable to dismiss overt racism under the guise of bad dayand tried to walk off. He then took an extra aggressive tone with me and asked what more he could do after clearly having done NOTHING except aggravating the situation. I told him as much and we left shortly after.Its amazing how this museum is appropriating the art of other cultures, bemoaning the lack of patronage from the younger generations but then aggressively dissuading minorities from visiting because they doesnt fit their image of who their patrons should be." +Attraction,Date of experience: June 2016,United States,District of Columbia DC,Washington DC,unknown,Disgrace ,"Complete racism, me and my sister walked past with a friend and they said he was 'too drunk to get in', do you know how much he had One beer and he was completely sober.

Out of 49 people on the bus, 9 of were black. They lumped us all together in 1 group, although we did now know each. But at that time thought, no big deal. We get to the spot and Speedy the tour guide announces that he needs to see our group for something special. That something special ending up being that they wanted all 9 Black people to pay before we even did the excursion, with the other 40 people being told that they could pay afterwards. We fought that, with the help of some other guests on the bus who stood up for us, while dealing with other people being frustrated at us. We still try to do the excursion. We go cave tubing first. My tube deflated and I ended up having to swim, hike, wade in the water with just a life jacket. No other tube was offered or provided. Then we were on the atv, someone in our group ran out of gas Then at the end. I asked about the food they said they were going to provide. Someone looked at me and said what food. I look at my reservation where it said lunch and pointed to it. We were then reluctanly given a tray with a tamale on it. At this point the bus we ride in on leaves with Speedy telling us it is crowded and the AC was malfuctioning. So we had separate transportation back to the boat. When it came time to pay, I had no problem paying for the Zip line fun atv super short but I felt there should have been somerthing taken off because, I didnt get the full cave tubing experience. Speedy aparantly leaves the bus and our van picks him up on the side of the road. He gets in the car stating that his job was on the line if we dont pay. We tell him we never stated we weren't going to pay but we would only pay for services rendered. Speedy was very disrespectul and condensing to our group. We get back on the boat and 2 girls from the bus asked us what happened. We told them what Speedy said and they looked at us with disbelief. She shared that the bus was partially empty and the AC work. Even more hurtful she shared that Speedy her group ""thats why I wanted them to pay first because now they are not trying to pay"". It is devastating to have to deal with racism at home, but to think that I have to deal with it while on vacation is heart breaking." +Attraction,Date of experience: April 2018,Central America,Belize,Belize District,unknown,People of color beware!!!,"I was referred to butts up from a fellow passenger on a cruise ship that I was on. Went on the tour because of the value with the cave tubing,ATV and zipline. Was very easy to find and was told to pay for the Excursion at the end. Out of all of the people on a 55 passenger tour bus only the nine people of color were asked to pay first by Speedy. When questioned why were we being singled out we were given some BS excuse we were also taken off the bus and put on a separate bus and we're told that it was because we were going to move around different from the rest of the people on the tour. In the process of taking the tour my ATV ran out of fuel while I was on the course. Another person that was in our group, her cave tube popped while in the river. She had to swim the whole course in order to get back to shore because they did not have an extra one or some type of plan in case something like this happened in place. We were also told that lunch was included with the tour but at the end of the tour they tried not to serve us lunch. Then when it came time to pay for the Excursion myself who ran out of fuel and the other person whose tube popped we're expected to pay full price for the tour. After arguing with Speedy we came to a resolution for a discounted price due to the mishaps on the course which was fair but he really did not want to do that and we should not have had to go through all of that because of their in efficiencies. And to add insult to injury some of the non people of color who are on the tour bus that referred us to the tour told us when we got back on our cruise ship that's Speedy told all the non people of color on the bus that that's why he wanted us to pay first and we were the only people not on the bus going back to the terminal!

Nevertheless the rest fairly entertaining. Unfortunately, we could understand nothing at all as they all spoke in Russian. What was shocking is the staffs who manages this place. They do not speak English but that wasn't the main problem. They do not respect people at all particularly Asians. There was no queue to collect coats and everyone practically rushed to the front to get their coats. When we Asians approached the counter, they told us off in Russian which we could barely understand but I guessed they told us to go at the back which I'm confused why the rest of them were not told off when they were in front without queuing We moved to be back, say about 23 people but many white people went to the front of us and right in front of us without queuing but this lady did not tell them off and allowed them to take their coats jumping queues. When it was our turn, as she held my shawl, it was dragging the floor and ""sweeping"" it. She threw our coats on the counter and continued to sulk. As I was collecting it just merely seconds, she told me off in Russian with ""get off"" hand gestures. I was surrounded by so many people who were jumping queues, and I could not leave. She continued to scold us and I had to tell her off in English to WAIT, because I am trying to leave but it was CROWDED!! She kept quiet when I told her off in English. Her attitude was not like that at all to nonAsians.I will suggest everyone to stay off this circus as they support racism.

There is a simulation of slaves being held in cages towards the front, but thy're so close together and one does a lot of singing so it is hard to hear. Once past that, you get into the real heart of the museum, and there's lots of reading to do. I would have appreciated more interactive exhibits versus reading and videos. They do do a great job going over systematic racism and injustices. I was also happy to see them say out loud that 1 there is still racism in the Alabama legislature and; 2 the 80's war on drugs by Reagan was really just an attempt to control and exterminate blacks. The exhibit where you simulated a prison visit was very moving. We listened to the story of a man in his 70's who served more than 40 years in prison, doing hard labor.

The first exhibit is an interactive display of the various types of slaves men, women, children in holding cells and what they would say. The next room houses the rest of the exhibits. It was a little confusing as to how to navigate the floor. You should start to the left but after each ""topic"" is presented turn around to view the supporting displays then return to the next topic along the left wall continuing to zigzag through the room. Along the right wall are smaller sectioned areas that run videos. These are not to be missed. We ran out of time completing the last two. Also very moving are the firsthand letters, quotations, pictures of slaves, the advertisements created to sell the slaves and the Community Remembrance Project resulting in a wall of jars containing dirt from the site where a person was lynched along with their names, location and date of the lynching.

I like to think of myself as a reasonably welleducated person, but I learned some very new things to me here.The exhibits have great graphics and comprehensive materials to look at and read. There's personal testimony, historical overviews, and wonderful/terrible photos.

Next morning, we skipped the aarti and decided to go for a walk. It was 4:30 AM and I noticed only Indian volunteers are engaged in cleaning the temple complex sweeping the streets, gardening, cleaning toilets, cooking and so on. Whereas the whiteskinned people are chanting mantras, maintaining storefront and meditating. On further probing, a boy cleaning the garden said that since they are dark skinned, they are advised to do the daily chores. As devotees prefers watching whiteskinned people performing aarti, chanting/singing Hare Krishna and selling products.Even the security stopped us from entering several roads adjoining the complex. The security personnel indirectly said that they are not allowed to permit Indians enter those roads as those roads leads to residential complex of whiteskinned volunteers and a few of them does not like that.I wanted to visit the temple to rejuvenate myself. But after experiencing such racism, we cut short our 5 day tour and returned the very next morning.If you want to visit the temple for it's sheer gracefulness and the spiritual surrounding, I would definitely recommend you to visit the place. But if you are like me who cannot tolerate racism, ISKCON complex Mayapur is not for you." +Attraction,Date of experience: January 2015,Asia,India,West Bengal,"Edmonton, Canada",Hare Krishna,"A very vibrant and attractive temple complex.

He complied and actually apologized to the man who in turn stated he was too drunk to be there and stated he had to leave. We had literally been there 1015 minutes and while he had been drinking it was not at all a ""too drunk"" issue. We decided it was just as well and all packed up to leave while the other man in our group paid for the unused pool table time. As we were leaving we passed the front door which was an accident and none of us are very familiar with this pool hall at which point the older white man came up and started aggressively talking to the other black man in our party who was 100 sober. We stated we didn't realized the door was 10 feet back and again apologized and turned to leave to see about 34 more staff members join in a very threatening stance and one of them muttering the N word while pointing at the door! Mind you we are all walking out the door at this point. We then get into the car to leave and the group of men follow us outside and take a picture of us/our car as we were leaving! Two of us were in there a few weeks back and there was a pretty diverse crowd at the same time of night and on this specific night these were the only two people of color. Come to find out a few days after this incident the older white man who singled out the black men in our group is the OWNER and had systematically picked on multiple black people earlier in the night claiming they had each violated some crazy rule. One of our friends had been there previously and was asked to leave at 1am due to him being too loud for a family establishment He was also then followed outside and photographed! The previous time we'd been there we had a great time with nice staff and a nice casual place to play pool but after this I can guarantee you we won't be back and if the owner continues to discriminate based on race it will not go unnoticed in a city as racially diverse as Burnsville!" +Attraction,Date of experience: March 2019,United States,Mississippi MS,Glendora,"Little Rock, Arkansas",A needed reminder of how ugly racism really is.,"I saw a sign for this museum on my way to Clarksdale and had to stop. Emmett Till has always haunted me both because his murder was so unspeakably gruesome, but also because it happened about two months before my white mom was born. I dont know how people can say racism is no longer a problem when this was happening as my mother was born and learning about the world. Things that deep dont disappear so suddenly. The museum is run by the son of one of the black men ordered to clean Tills blood out of the murderers truck and is housed in the cotton gin where they took the fan they tied around his neck. Inside, they have recreated buildings where various events in Till's murder unfolded, and informational plaques walk you through the timeline and aftermath. There are also historical markers throughout town that mark the murderers' houses or where they once stood and the river bridge where Till's body was discarded.

The tour guide was fantastic. Death threats made to Medgar Evers changed the way he and his family went about their daily lives but not their resolve to fight segregation, Jim Crow laws, and for voting rights. He and his family slept with their mattresses on the floor to reduce the likelihood that they could be shot through the windows of their home. The bullet that killed Medgar Evers after going through him traveled through the front window, through an interior wall and then ricocheted off of the refrigerator see picture of refrigerator.

I knew some of this history and some of the great black players and the museum did a great job of presenting the whole story.I appreciated especially learning about great black players who were as good as and even better than the white players on the rosters of the allwhite teams of the major leagues but never got the attention and acclaim they deserved. And, learning of the deep, systemic racism within the white major leagues left me with a profound sense of gratitude for the black players and white owners that fought this racism and overcame it.Baseball, today, is the most diverse of the major sports in the United States with players of all skin colors from all over the world.

Sadly, the Red Sox my team was the last to integrate.This museum is thoughtfully arranged with a ton of items on display. Each item is clearly labeled with informative tags.There are many uniforms, bats, balls etc. But the best is the ""back stories"" on the players. These were some of the best players ever. Most of the white players were clearly not as good.It would have been easy for the museum to harp on the racism and segregation. The negative truth was not at all hidden, but they focused on the great players. This enhanced the experience even more.Allow a couple hours to read, appreciate and fully the educational experience the museum offers.Baseball fans will enjoy it, non fans probably not so much. There were 3 of us. I am a ardent fan, one person a marginal fan and the 3rd in between. I could have stayed another hour or two.

It is worth the trip. It's right near the famous and deliciois Arthur Bryant's BBQ.Why I loved it so much: the history of the struggles of heroic African American baseball players and how they overcome the racism that was so commonplace in those days the overlay on top of the backdrop of historical events that were taking place at the same time it was another perspective in the lesson of our country's civil rights and is really thought provokingBelieve me, I wasn't so sure going in, but we could have stayed all day if we didn't have another engagement. This is a great history museum as much as it is a baseball museum.It is in an area of KC that has been redeveloped. The museum is a part of a complex that also features a Jazz Museum which looked nice, bit we didn't have time to see it. Maybe next time.And don't forget to go Arthur Bryant's after your visit.

Even the most prestigious London clubs allow these trainers so why doesnt a small time club in Epsom Suspicious...When we asked the security guard if he changed his trainers would he be allowed in we were told noAlso suspicious...The security guard was rude to anyone who tried to reason with him and even brought out another security guard to intimidate my boyfriend who was showing no signs of anger or violence AT ALL! This resulted in him having to go home which is ridiculous. On top of this two other coloured men dressed nicely were refused entry whilst this was happening THIS IS NO LONGER JUST SUSPICIOUS THIS IS PLAIN RACISM.

I thought maybe it was just because he looked young, they kept asking him for 2 forms of ID every time we would go, but we would go often and this happened EVERY TIME. So he stopped going with us. Then now 3 years later I go out with my friends and man, mind you the bouncer didn't even ask for my ID because he remembered me from 3 years ago that I was coming, let me in with no ID. My man went to go in and was told his dress code wasn't right. Which every man in the place had the same thing on my man did. Hat, tee shirt, jeans and sneakers. Then after my man felt disrespected because he saw what all the men were wearing, and said something to the bouncer, he was told go back to Troy where you came from. Ok So every black man is from Troy now Its a fun bar, but definitely disrespectful racist fat door men... Disgusted by this place due to that one and only reason.

You will hear the voice of injustice, you will hear their cry, you will have to face your own prejudice and be challenged to process what next Where do I go from here What voice am I meant to haveParking is free in the parking lot which is also patrolled by security. You will initially see the Lorraine Motel which looks like it is stuck in time and did not keep up with modernization. The Motel is the site of the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. The museum itself takes you through the story of African Americans and the injustice that has taken place from the early slave trade through to the present.It takes 23 hours to make it through museum...give it the time needed rather than rushing through it and truly being able to hear the voices and be challenged by what it represents.Cost is 16 for adults note, they are closed on Tuesdays. At first you can enter into an art gallery, no photos in this area.The rest of the museum is a selfguided tour. There is a lot of reading so be prepared to take your time. Although this is good for kids to learn about, much of the information may go over their heads due to the larger amounts of reading in each exhibit. Be ready to explain what is going on and help put things into a language that they will explain and understand. It is ideal for teens and adults as they shape their understanding around justice and peace. There are a lot of physical elements that you can also interact with displays like buses, a dining area, statues of protestors. Each room covers a different theme or element of racism towards African Americans. The first room starts with information regarding the slave trade from 1619 1861. They were viewed as a commodity to be traded and taken advantage of. In the first room, you can also wait to see a special film which shows every 20 minutes. Once you are done, you will proceed through to the next room of the museum.The museum continues through 16 different exhibit areas. The journey addresses slavery and Civil War. It then proceeds to the segregation that African Americans experienced and the fight they went through to be recognized as equals. This took place through the sit ins, the freedom riders, bus boycotts, children stepping forward, marches and strikes. All the while, they were met with opposition from groups like the KKK, attacked by dogs, shot with water cannons and their churches were burned.The museum brings to light several movements that came forward to try to stop the injustice: the Black Panthers and NAACP. Several voices emerged as leaders, many of them within churches. Much of the movements against the hatred and racism were met without fighting back and using strategic protesting to make their point heard. Martin Luther King Jrs last speech can be seen before you step into his final moments in room 306 and 307 before he was assassinated.After your time at the museum, you may want to go and sit in a coffee shop, talk about what you saw and continue to hear. Process in groups as you figure out what your own life steps may be going forward. If you have the chance, head to Birminghams Kelly Ingram park which is the site of many of the injustices discussed in the museum. The physical location adds another layer of wrestling with this as you stand at one of the other Ground Zero locations of the racism." +Attraction,Date of experience: April 2019,United States,Tennessee TN,Memphis,"Orpington, United Kingdom",What an education,"Learned so much and was so ignorant of the racism, tensions and civil rights of the day.

This museum takes you on an emotional journey through history covering everything from slavery to modern America. Often very harrowing and emotional you are given a greater understating of the challenges black people encountered in America. How institutional racism held them down, gave them little or no say in their lives and oppressed their speech and liberties. How strong people stood up, were counted and began to make a difference and how some of which tragically died for that cause. What a fantastic venue this is and an amazing monument to the work of legendary black Americans who sacrificed so much to bring freedom, equality and fairness to black American men and women. It leaves you with you heart broken for the misery and suffering that was delivered to the poor black communities of America and how oppression forced them into lives of horror and pain. While you are touched by the successes of the few you are reminded that people still picket the streets of America with placards campaigning for change and their rights to be upheld.

But misnamed,"Approaching this facility from the parking lot, I was strruck with a sense of heaviness. There on the balcony of the preserved Lorraine Motel is a wreath marking the spot where Martin Luther King was murdered, I don't use the term ""hallowed ground"" lightly but that's what it felt like to meand should the experience be rendered a conflict by other visitors who seemed to think it was an amusement parkSo we entered the museumand I was struck that it was not really a civil rights museum. That's not entirely a criticism; it's primarily a monument to Dr, King, and as such it's entirely fitting and proper to have on this site. But as a civil rights museumwell, it focuses only on the rights of African Americans save for a short video about the Polaris project that's combating world slavery, Don't civil rights also extend to Native Americans, Hispanics, and other oppressed groupsIt also failed for me as a museum. When I visit a museum I'm expecting to browse through galleries and learn things at my own pace and according to my own interests. Here, I was essentially herded through exhibitsmost of which told me nothing I didn't already know, I don't need to see the 12minute video that reviews the Civil War, Emancipation Proclamation, amendments 13, 14 and 15, Dred Scott, Plessy, etc. Perhaps most of the visitors doande then after, we're marched through corridors cataloguing the history of the civil rights movement in excruciating detail. Some of it was great for methe Rosa Parks bus, the burnedout Greyhound from the Freedom Riders, the simulation of the Edmund Pettus bridge, seeing into the actual rooms that King occupied before his deathbut so much was just a repeat of what I saw in the news 50 years ago. A museum that's mostly test on the wall is perhaps better published as a bookAnd againas a tribute to King, it's great. But for civil rights in general, it gives short shrift to many While I didn't read every word in the museum, I noted only 2 references each for Medgar Evers, Malcolm, X, Elijah Muhammed I didn't see Bobby Seale anywhere, Muhammed Ali gets one mention in the ""black arts and culture"" corridor GilScott Heron gets 2, not that I think he doesn't deserve them. Barbara Jordannowhere.Perhaps my discomfort is fueled in part by the sick feeling I got from revisiting so much of the racism that was endemic in the America of my youth. HoweverI've been to the national AfroAmerican Cultural Center and Museum in Wilberforce, Ohio.

I think if Dr. MLK Jr. was alive he would be disappointed with the curator. At the very first room of the museum was that very well done informative exposition, but with an enormous bias that tries to input all fault of the slave trade to the ""evil"" Europeans who stimulates the tribal rivalities as they aren't there for years and years before the arrival of them. So, you go to a movie theater to see a propaganda movie w/ misleading information that minimizes the major discussion that happened between the founding fathers about slavery Benjamin Franklin was ouvertly against the slavery and the ""Slavery Question"" was kept open on the declaration of independence to be further solved, in pro to keep the union of the 13 colonies against England. Other misleading information was the emancipation proclamation did by Lincon. At the movie, the narrator minimizes it to a mere ""strategic war act"" from the north to destabilize the southern economy. Those are the most crying faults of the movie, but they were not the only ones.It is also interesting that there is no information that science has a long time refuted the concept of race in humans. Instead, the museum speech gives strength to this error. However, the museum collection is rich in photos and other audiovisual sources. The most emotional part to me was the ""I have a dream"" room. Hear the speech gave me goosebumps. I loved the Rose Parks room with the bus and the audio inside, it made me feel uncomfortable as it should be. The second part of the museum across the street showed no bias and I love when I heard at the final movie that the opposite of love isn't hate but, indifference.I noticed that was no whites working at the museum, I don't know if it was an unfortunate coincidence.At the end, I was in doubt if I should buy any merchandise to the gift shop and support that vision.Summarizing: The goal to promote tolerance was a far way to be reached, the message of integration as Dr. MLK jr. wanted was not at the aim of exposition." +Attraction,Date of experience: September 2017,United States,Tennessee TN,Memphis,"Tulsa, Oklahoma","Great Museum, Missing One Very Important Piece of Information","One of the best historical museums I have ever visited.

I have yet to hear back from them. To whom it may concern,I am a 4th and 5th grade public school teacher who visited your museum this summer. I would like to write to you today to share some of my thoughts about my experience while attending this museum with friends this summer. To begin, there were several great things I took away from this experience. The constant moving around the museum, as well as the tactile experiences of reenacting the tea being thrown into the harbor, were really engaging experiences. I attended this museum with an 8 year old, and he loved this part of it. I also really appreciated how the museum laid out the chain of events that occured after the tea party. Within the context provided by the museum experience, it was clear to participants the importance and incredible risk this act posed during Colonial times for those involved. Although there were things I enjoyed about the museum experience, two things deeply bothered me. The first was the fact that as participants in the museum, we were given feathers, so that if need be, we could disguise ourselves as Mohawk Indians. I know that this is a historically accurate representation of this event, and I understand that a major purpose of this museum experience is to reenact, with as many layers of authenticity as possible, the events that took place in Boston Harbor that night. That being said, we do not live in a vacuum. We live in a broader historical context. It is 2018. I can see no way to justify having an audience made up of people living in the year of 2018 reenact the racism of the past. I did talk to my tour guide about this, and this guide did say that the disguise at the time was not meant to offend or disrespect the Mohawk tribe. She also said that none of the colonists had ever met a member of the Mohawk tribe before deciding to dress in this costume with a feather. She said they chose to use the feathers because it was an important symbol to the tribe. I would like to know more about your sources for this information, because I am skeptical of it. If indeed the colonists were not intending to disrespect the Mohawk Tribe with their disguise which I find hard to believe, considering the tense and bad relationship that existed at that time between colonists and Native Americans it is still a racist act, even considering the context of 1773. Even more so, in 2018, this act is incredibly racist. Other visitors of the museum were wearing their feathers in their hair during the tour. How would a person of Native descent feel about experiencing this part of the museum How is it ok to let people engage in a racist act wearing feathers in an attempt to look like a Native American so that they can ""better experience"" the event of the Boston tea party It is not ok, and it misinforms the public. People could very easily leave this experience feeling that it is ok to make light of both this treatment towards and false representation of Native Americans. The second topic I was bothered by was a topic completely left out of the whole museum experience the topic of slavery. How can a museum about Colonial America fail to include the topic of slavery I understand that slavery was different in the Northern colonies compared to the Southern colonies. However, it was an essential part of Colonial America. You cannot understand Colonial America without considering it as a whole, and slavery is too huge a piece to leave out. It may be an uncomfortable topic to discuss, especially considering how the colonists were comparing themselves as slaves to Britain during this time this was a quote I heard during my museum experience, but it is a necessary topic to include. Omitting it not only blatantly misinforms the public, but also wastes an opportunity to explore some of the unpleasant and contradictory truths about the American fight for independence from Britain. I write this to you because we can do better. We must do better. As a museum intended to educate the public, these two points I raised are highly problematic and must be taken into consideration. I write this as an educator, but also as a person who attended this museum with people of color, and specifically a young person of color. How do you think he felt about this museum experience How do you think other people of color would feel If we continue to perpetuate misperceptions about groups of people, specifically groups of people of color, racism and ignorance will also be perpetuated. As educators, it is our duty to address racism and ignorance. Your museum experience perpetuated this. I write this to you in hopes that you will take my criticism seriously so that you can improve your museum experience for all potential museum visitors." +Attraction,Date of experience: November 2018,United States,New York NY,New York City,"Boulder, Colorado",Small but interesting museum with a powerful story to tell,"This museum had been on my todo list for some years and I am glad I finally got to visit.

The temporary exhibitions, especially the one about Chinese typewriters, were particularly interesting.We were lucky enough to be guided around by one of the museum volunteers. If you are offered such a guided tour you should certainly accept the offer as it will enhance your visit.The museum tells the experience of the Chinese in America very well. It is a powerful story that frankly should embarrass and shame white Americans I am one, with unfortunately true illustrations of truly horrible racism that persisted from the eighteenth century until long into the twentieth century.

The permanent exhibit takes you through the history of the Chinese people and influence in America. It is both illuminating and frustrating in showing the racism and xenophobia Chinese people faced when coming to America. With the current tone of our politics reflecting the same animus that greeted Chinese folks in the past this history is vital. The exhibit explicitly discusses how the struggle for a just society has been composed of all marginalized folks organizing together and it is a lesson that we would do well to carry into the future.There is also an exhibit on Chinese medicine in America that is great. This exhibit isn't permanent so you have to catch it before it leaves. They do a great job in discussing the false dichotomy between what we call ""western medicine"" and Chinese medicine. This exhibit also has great visual appeal as well as primary source material that is a wonder to look at. The artwork in the exhibit is evocative and really does seem to visualize the concept of qi. Learning the roots of Chinese medicine and seeing the latest developments in its practice has made me more curious about it and determined to explore more.The other traveling exhibit is a recreation of the Kam Wah Chung Co. General Store. In this exhibit, you step into what the store itself looked like during the gold rush. You also learn about the business savvy and medical practice of the store owners. It does an excellent job of telling you how people who were barred from participating in just about every part of the economy and society were able to create a place for themselves and contribute to the health, wealth, and culture of the nation even while they were under racist restrictions.The gift shop also has some sweet merch and good books.

But the tour of the museum is also like taking a short college course in the history of the entire civil rights movement from the days of slavery and Jim Crow to the current state of American race relations. The tour is weakest on the latter; strongest on the era of Martin Luther King, Jr. The museum is run with diligent professionalism; all the staff we met were extremely glad we could come. My high school students took away memories for a lifetime. The tour guides were very knowledgeable, but had trouble answering some detailed questions. It made us proud that we live in this nation, where our citizens are willing to take a hard look at our past with a critical eye, knowing we have come a long way but still have a good distance to go to treating all Americans with human dignity and respect for life in its vast variety." +Attraction,Date of experience: November 2015,United States,North Carolina NC,Greensboro,"Raleigh, North Carolina",Did not elaborate on the more mundane and treacherous effects of race relations as felt by middle class blacks.,"Having grown up in a place where racial differences are celebrated, the guided tour of the exhibits did not increase my understanding of the races. It spoke about a nonviolent movement, but the exhibits and guided tour aroused in me violent feelings of injustice. In that sense, the effects of the museum were ironic. The museums approach to the telling of stories was brute and lacked a gentle and compassionate viewpoint and approach. There appeared to be no recorded firsthand accounts from the black or white middle class or black or white protesters at the events covered. For example, note the four who started the Woolworths sitin in 1960 in Greensboro: there was a dramatic reenacting on video and a life size dioramaan account of a second hand account. Instead, I would have loved to hear audio or video recordings of what middle class black and white people saw and thought at the time of the happenings: for example, recordings of people alive now that were at the front lines and of how they felt. There appeared to be none of that. The approach of this museum is very similar to how mainstream historical societies or museums tell mainly one side of the race storywhen they do not talk about or they gloss over the plight of African Americans and African American slaves their descendants. Similarly, this museum does the same thing from the opposite end of the spectrum and does not tell about the opposing views, especially the nuanced views of the antagonist or adversary. Thus, this contained a predominantly one sided display about race relations. The result of the museum was a classic race baiting. The museum generated a sense of fear and anger more than it bridged any understanding between the races. Also, the museum simplified things when it was much deeper and complicated than that because there are many gray areas in the issues of relations between blacks and whites. The museum displayed the appalling outcomes of race relations by showing television news video snippets, pictures of brutal occurrences and protesters, displays of newspaper articles and classified ads. Displays were on angular signs, in dimly lit and in relatively narrow halls, further evoking a sense of adversity, fear, anger perhaps even rage to the museum visitor. As examples, it showed the actual Woolworth lunch counter which took up about 3,000 square of space in the museum which seemed to take up a lot of physical space. Also, there was a display of a police baton and a Ku Klux Klan outfit. These type of displays served as icons for the oppression of colored peoples, namely blacks. However, the museum didnt elaborate about the not as sensational and television newsworthy day to day experiences of how the middle class whites and blacks felt, which probably needed their implicit approval or disapproval, or lack of direct inquiry or research in order for the race relations status quo to get worse or stay the same. For example, how did middle class blacks and whites feel about the insidious effects on both blacks and whites of white flight, panic peddling, block clubs, blockbusting, mandatory busing, mandatory desegregation and white loss How did the people who didnt attend protests and who didnt display mob behaviors feel Furthermore, how did middle class white people feel when the police that normally patrolled their neighborhood went to patrol areas where blacks were moving into white areas How did middle class white people feel when desegregation and bussing was forced verse when desegregation in schools and bussing were optional How did middle class black people feel to have moved into a white neighborhood and find dozens of white protesters in front of his house and telling him to move How did middle class black people feel when police officers came to protect the white protesters verses protect the middle class black person from the white people as exemplified in the Calumet Park Riot of 1957The museum didnt appear to denote the nuances and differences of institutionalized racism, civil rights movement and racism in general. For example, the docent said people that were not white were considered colored, but it did not say many colored people were mistaken for white people on public transportation. As another example, it was really confusing to see an image of Mohammed Ali when he didnt support civil rights movement or its agenda at all, around 1971. This museum does a disservice to enhancing the race relations discussion; however, this museum is a great instrument of race baiting. And for that alone, it is worth visiting to see how the masses are educated to be distrustful of the other race.Other means the other race that one is not part of. For example, if you are black the other race is white. If you are white, the other race is black. If you are mixed race, the other race is white." +Attraction,Date of experience: June 2015,United States,North Carolina NC,Greensboro,"Durham, North Carolina","Informative, Challenging, Engaging, Motivating","This is one of the best museums I have ever visited.

'Greensboro Massacre', corruption in law enforcement and even during the turn of the century, favorite son O.

You proceed through the museum with a guide and cannot take a selfguided tour. The general areas/themes are: 1 the famous 1960 Greensboro lunch counter sit in; 2 the ""look"" of racism and segregation in the US in transportation, education, public accomodations, etc; 3 a brief overview of key events in the struggle for civil rights. A fourth area just one room quickly touched on civil rights struggles in other countries.For me, there were two high points. The first was being able to see the actual lunch counter where this seminal event took place the museum is located in the actual Woolworths store. The other was an interactive display of the hundreds of lunch counter sit ins that occurred throughout the Southeast within only two months of the Greenboro sit in. Without email, texting, Facebook, etc. this movement spread rapidly and this is shown through a compelling interactive map.At the same time, I gave this museum average ratings for several reasons.1. Because you must see the museum on a tour, the tour is greatly influenced by the quality of the guide. Our guide tended to go through the information in a monotone and very quickly. Also, you must go through at the pace of the tour.2. Assuming you were given time to explore, there is not that much to explore. While the museum can be useful for someone new to the topic who wants a brief overview, there is little for someone who wants additional information.3. To describe this museum as ""international"" is a bit of a stretch despite the brief info on other civil rights struggles in other parts of the world.This museum would be good for school groups even though some images are extremely distrurbing and graphic and teachers/parents should be given a ""heads up"" and those wanting a cursory introduction to the topic. For me, having seen the much more in depth civil rights museum in Memphis, TN, this was mildly interesting, mainly because it provided some depth on the Greensboro sit ins.The tour lasts an hour and, unless you like gift shops, this is a 90 minute visit tops. It is also nice to stroll Elm Street in downtown Greensboro to look at the art deco buildngs and other architecture." +Attraction,Date of experience: February 2017,United States,Louisiana LA,New Orleans,"Bristol, United Kingdom","Important, overlooked history","I'm from the North of England and I was 14 when Katrina hit. I remember the news coverage, but at the time New Orleans felt impossibly far away, and I'm not sure, even as an adult, that I ever really appreciated the extent of the damage. And although I knew that it was mostly workingclass, black residents who'd been the worst hit, and that police racism had been a feature of the aftermath, I didn't know the extent. It made me very angry.The area is pretty easy to get to you can walk, if you're up for it, through Bywater and over the bridge. Or you can get the bus, which I did. The neighbourhood still shows signs of the damage done by Katrina it was very quiet when I visited, with plots of land notably empty. The museum itself is easy to find, and I was the only visitor when I arrived. The lady on the desk was very nice she left me to look around, and took a long time to answer my questions afterwards.There've been one or two comments about whether this museum encourages disaster tourism. It's always a bit of an ethical dilemma, and I confess to feeling slightly uncomfortable as a foreigner visiting an area devastated by Katrina in order to try to understand something that really, I don't think I'll ever be able to. However, I thought the museum got it spot on. It's not sensationalistic, and I thought the sections on the long history of the neighbourhood as a distinct, culturally vibrant centre for AfricanAmerican residents was a necessary counterbalance to the sections on the damage done by Katrina and the ongoing struggle to rebuild the neighbourhood. By emphasising the amount of community pride in the area, the museum avoids propagating a onedimensional stereotype of a ruined, dangerous neighbourhood, and I thought the balance between acknowledging the damage done and the positive sides of the neighbourhood was very sensitively handled. The most shocking thing was the racism. The police shootings, and the white residents of Algiers Point who took it upon themselves to shoot black people seeking refuge. It was heartbreaking and a very welcome reminder to anyone who thinks that racism is dead and buried. I also visited the Presbytere, because I was intrigued to see whether this history would be acknowledged in a more official exhibition. Bar one small section, it wasn't which speaks volumes.

We spent our time on the third floor before realizing that the Center was closing. It took an attendant to let us know.There are three floors to the Center. The pay booth and entrance is on the park side second floor. On the first floor are the temporary exhibits while the second floor was focused on the Civil Rights Movement here in the states. There you can listen to several speeches and interviews by the people who spoke against racism and fought for equality. We experienced what it was like to sit at the soda shop counter and be brutalized like those young men were. It was a terrifying and sobering experience to say the least.The third floor which is where we spent all of our time unintentionally was a space dedicated to reflecting how civil rights all over the world were destroyed and fought for. We saw the Offenders and witnessed the Defenders who in the process of fighting paid some heavy prices so that those who came after them could live better lives.We spent over an hour and a half on the third floor reading and listening to the individual testimonies and we still didn't see everything on the third floor.When we go again, we will make sure we plan better and spend an entire day there.

For example, there were old stacked black and while tvs where you could turn a dial to tune up a different elected racist segregationist politician from a variety of states and hear them spewing their hateful talk, you could select different states and see what Jim Crow laws they enforced, small intimate film clips with interviews of some of the earliest freedom riders, round screen projecting the masses of people arriving and participating in the the March on Washington. The 3rd floor exhibits, primarily focussed on human rights struggles through history and across the globe. They presented a framework I'd never heard of about the roles people play in genocides and massive oppressionwhere you are either an enabler where you actually support the oppressionsell arms, make arms, enforce hateful laws, bystanderspeople who do nothing, and upstandersthose who take an active role to resist the oppression or aid victims.

But these topics are so important for us all... and I am SO GLAD I made time for this museum. For sure everyone who is able should take time out of their day to visit. This is good for kids and adults alike and I would mark it as a ""must see"" in Atlanta. And for those who are age appropriate, do not miss the lunch counter.

A wonderful, moving, upsetting review of the Civil Rights movement from about 1950 to 1968. The exhibits highlight segregation and the nonviolent protest movement that wore it down. You can experience a simulation of being a nonviolent protestor at a lunch counter sitin, being threatened by racists. If anything, the exhibits overcompensate in trying to be objective, playing down just how awful segregation and racism have been. For those of us who lived through this era, it's very emotional and brings back the past. For those who didn't, it should be a revelation in this relatively uncommitted political age." +Attraction,Date of experience: April 2016,United States,Georgia GA,Atlanta,"Columbus, Ohio",Powerful!,"This is probably one of the best museums I have visited since I first visited the Underground Railroad museum in Cincinnati a couple of years ago. I was there four about 2 and 1/2 hours.The in depth way the Civil Rights Movement was presented was moving; including the timeline progression from separate but equal to civil unrest, the March on Washington, to the struggle culminating with federal desegregation and the pushback from those bigoted individuals in some states against the federal mandate. I loved that it had a talking tour that you can borrow from the guest services office in exchange for your driver license, which they return to you when you return the device I guess a lot of people don't ask for it, I think I was the only one who had one while I was there; it was really helpful in explaining the items contained within as well as the background behind the design of the exhibits to achieve a desired effect. I think they should update the tour device to allow the listener to stop, pause and rewind a particular section and that they should advertise it so that more people know about it. The lunch counter experience was intense. I did notice that some of the headsets were not working, but when I found one that did, I was able to get the full effect of probably just a fraction of the vile and hateful things those individuals who took part in the sitins experienced. I wanted to cry just knowing that all those brave individuals went through some of the most horrible things another human can do to another to allow me the freedom today to go about my life with little to no overt racism being experienced. It really caused me to check myself for taking these freedoms for granted that were not allowed to someone of my race less than 70 years ago in this country. While the museum did discuss the current human and civil rights battles taking place throughout the world, I was disappointed to not see any reference to the current racial tension in America including the murders of Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, Michael Brown Jr., to name a few of the wellknown cases, by those individuals who have sworn to protect and to serve the citizens of their respective parishes police officers. Do I believe that today in any way resembles the Civil Rights era, no, but I do believe there seems to be a general devaluing of human life by America in general and a devaluing of the lives of people of color by law enforcement specifically. This should be touched on in a ""Center for Civil and Human Rights"" museum as the human rights of citizens to live without fear of death by a person who is only separated from you or I by a uniform it's a job, say, like a sanitation worker are infringed upon time and time again with little to no recourse.

You'd have to be an incredibly coldhearted person to not be stirred by both the personal stories and the larger historical narrative of this museum. I especially appreciated how museum didn't just leave it at ""things are all great now and racism is gone"" and instead used the history of the civil rights struggle in the U.S. to transition to the larger topic of human rights as it exists today. The curators and designers did a terrific job of tell history and keeping the narrative current to today.My only slight criticism is the exhibit actively downplays the history of segregation and racism in Georgia and Atlanta compared to other southern states every chance it gets, which makes me question the authenticity of that claim.

The quad bikes are easy to operate even for someone like myself who has never ridden a motorcycle or a quad bike before. It took me two minutes to master the controls, and the quick tutorial was friendly and helpful. The historic and geological aspects of the tour were interesting, and the scenery, as one would expect in this part of the Eastern Free State, was breathtaking.Unfortunately, during one of the stops, our tour guide Mauritz who wears the FGASA badge was describing different kinds of rock to us and decided it would be appropriate to ask us, as a ""joke"", whether the ""darkies ever think about the rocks they throw."" There was some embarrassed laughter from members of another party from Gauteng. I was stunned. My mates and I didn't respond, in the moment. Later, after a stop at an historic graveyard on the farm, he said loudly, within earshot of the whole group which included children: ""Ek weet nie wat gaan die kaffirs hiermee maak nie dit trakteer hulle nie"" ""I don't know what the kaffirs are going to do with this it's not a treat to them.""He made reference to the hope that the family would win the lottery so that they could buy the farm...I can only assume that they are leasing the farm, or that the farm is subject to a land claim or similar. In any case, I came for a tour. I did not come to have bigotry and racism inflicted on me. I was on holiday, and wanted to enjoy my day, or I'd have been tempted to confront the owners and guide when we got back to the farm. This kind of behaviour is unacceptable frankly I'm gobsmacked.

We are amazed about the exclusively exquisite wines from this winery and was planning to purchase few good bottles back. Unfortunately we were totally gutted about our tasting experience which left us with no choice to leave the winery with empty hand.1.Firstly, we were served with a glass of white wine. I politely asked the Cellar Door lady if that's ok for me to read through the label at the back of the bottle so that I would know more about the background of this wine. I am not joking she gave me an annoyed face an eye roll and said to me ""There's nothing written on the back of the bottle, you should read the menu provided onsite."" I do not understand whats the problem for me to read through the description at the back of the bottle If the label wasnt set for customers to read so whats the point for putting a label on the bottle2.During the tasting, weve made some comments about 2 of the red wines. At some point the Cellar Door lady revealed to us that she is the wine maker and warned us to be careful when making our comments of her wines. I said to her wine is something personal and please dont be offend, our friends were just chatting about how they feel but not criticising anyone or anything. If a winemaker cannot take any feedback from the customers, what makes her a good winemaker Not to mention we werent saying something bad, all we were saying is which one we like the most because of the characteristic3.Few minutes later, one of my friends came out from the ladies' room and wanted to express her fondness for the wine logo design. Unexpectedly the Cellar Door Lady said to my friend, "" Yeah, but I dont want to see my wines to be sold in China. This is Racism.

We called Mixx to check if we could come in and made our way there. The minute we walked down the stairs and towards the club the bouncers started screaming out ..no entry...entry for members only! We said we'd called and checked but they were just snubbing us off. They then had the head bouncer come towards us and he stretched his hands out to start pushing us out. they were laughing and extremely arrogant. We've been to clubs all over the world but to have a club in asia racist towards Indians is one of the most digusting things we'v ever experienced. It was humiliating and a shame on thailand tourism.

The security at the entrance is instructed not to allow asian and Indians in the club unless you are a vip. Therefore 3 out of the 5 of us weren't allowed entire just because of the colour of our skin while we saw many white people walk in freely without any restrictions. Maybe the management need to wake up and come to terms that we are living in the 21st century and not the 18th century colonial era. Disgusted to see something like this being practiced in a tourist friendly country like Thailand. Biggest shock and disappointment of our whole trip." +Attraction,Date of experience: September 2016,Asia,Thailand,Bangkok,unknown,Back again ! ,Love this place. It's awesome. If ur cheap or ugly don't bother going at all. Unlike what people say they are not racist at all I was just there last sat and saw multi Indians and blacks but they looked good. So they are not racist they just want the rich and handsome Inside the club which is amazing.

Previous to this the people of Bangkok to us were warm and friendly. MIXX is a different story altogether.When we got to one entrance the hostess gave us a look up and down and told us that this is a VIP only section and we should go to the other entrance. This is when alarm bells started ringing because as far as I know from partying all over the world, VIP sections only mean paying a lot more for space, comfort and bottle service. So my question is why did she not volunteer the information on what the VIP section was all aboutAnyway we humbly made our way to the next section where we were again denied entrance. The rather rude hostess on this side said that the club only admits regulars. WHAT That is the most illogical excuses that I have ever heard in my life. Ask yourself, to become a regular don't you have to start by entering the club at least once Utter nonsense.My friends once hearing this excuse got quite agitated and started noticing that something was clearly wrong. It was not a matter of dress code as we saw client upon client who were rather underdressed in our opinion being admitted in.When we demanded a clear explanation the hostess then changed her mind and said that the club was totally full and could not admit any more people in. So were the people we were seeing walking in GhostsI am not one to pull out the race card or the ""is it because I am black card"" but after reading the reviews on this place and experiencing it myself it is clear that MIXX has certain prejudice issues which they hide under ""Management Reserves the rights for Admission"".MIXX is clearly a place that will judge you by the color of your skin as there is no other explanation whatsoever as to why certain people cannot be let in. Its 2016 for Gods sake and for the first time in my life and travels across the world, it took a visit to MIXX to let me know that in some sectors of the world racism is alive and kicking.My friends and I eventually decided to keep calm and walk away knowing that if that was how we were going to be treated on the outside who knows what could have happened if we went inside.Oh and by the way...we happen to be very big spenders when we go clubbing wherever we are in the world, glad that we took our money somewhere else where we are appreciated." +Attraction,Date of experience: March 2015,Asia,Thailand,Bangkok,unknown,Racist club / boycott InterCon and Holiday Inn,"I've been let in quite a few times at Mixx.

However, whenever I have gone with friends who are darker skinned than myself, I have been told the club is full despite tons of white people being let in.I have come to the conclusion that it is no use complaining about it on Trip Advisor and other sites, and so I now refuse to give my custom to any hotel, restaurant and event related to the Intercontinental and Holiday Innowning IHG that hosts these clubs at their premises, which means that they are fostering this racist door policy." +Attraction,Date of experience: October 2015,Asia,Thailand,Bangkok,unknown,Brown people not welcome,"They spotted us from a distance and turned us away before we could even get near the door, with the typical ""members only"" excuse before even checking if we were members, and despite the fact that we were well dressed.

Meanwhile tons of white skinned americans were making it inside. My friends and I we dressed up and one could see they had big money but they got discriminated against because of their skin color.

Even worse can be said of their counterpart in Pattaya, It's Racism at the worst, there they refused Club entry by pointing out my religion and my friends by saying Indians not allowed.

I went there with my wife, I was allowed access without any issue, like other previous guests has commented that the staff is racist, I didn't find any racism. dark and dingy place, bit rundown and smells of smoke.Different rooms were playing different music, decided to settle in one of the room, wasn't too crowded when we arrived at 11:30 pm, we were refused to sit in a lounge area, the security guard told us that this area is reserved so we ended up sitting next to the dance floor which was still empty. Everytime I bought a drink at the bar I was given a free drink I assume they thought that I am accompanied by a local girl and they gave me free drinks. My wife doesn't drink alcohol so great more for me.After I finished my first drink the security guard keep pushing me to buy another drink and literally he was forcing to buy drinks, i got upset and told him I will buy drink when I feel like, after that he didn't bothered us.We were there for few hours I bought myself five double Chivas Regal on ice and got five for free. Slowly the place started to get busy and you could clearly notice that the majority of the girls there were prostitutes both locals and Russian ethnicity and looking for business.After dancing for little while we left the place around 1:45 am, it was busy at that time but for whatever reason wasn't too comfortable and didn't really feel like staying. Saying that we were not uncomfortable due to the staff or security as commented by some visitors.I don't think that I will ever go back, next time we might some other place." +Attraction,Date of experience: August 2014,Asia,Thailand,Bangkok,unknown,Racists Racist Racist,"Thailand is known for its warm culture and most welcoming locals... but I'm shocked at their racism .. Mixx Pattaya and Bangkok both do not allow ppl of my religion to enter the night club both in Bangkok and Pattaya..I have travelled the world in Business Class and attended events like the FIFA world cup in Brazil and Tomorrowland in Belgium but I am shocked to know that I face racism in a place like Thailand where the people are known for their hospitality. Though, I am an Indian Sikh by religion and my religion does not allow me to shave my beard or cut my hair but I am well travelled and I know how to carry my self in public. Having said that.. when I reach the entrance of the night club the gentleman at the entry stops me and tells me that I need to shave my beard and cut my hair if i need to enter the club in pattaya. Though I was deeply shocked and saddened by their attitude, I decided not to make a fuss and leave instead of spoiling my night not to mention that I am in a foreign country. I thought that this could be a single call they must have taken because of some nuisance that may have been caused by some drunk countrymen misunderstanding the definition of fun ...!! What really shocked me is that when I tried to go to the MIXX discotheque in Bangkok this was the same kind of response that I got form the gentleman at their door as well ... He told me that that there was no place inside at 11.30 in the night but graciously let a few foreigners enter the club right in front of me... If u really want to filter the crowd put up a minimum entry of buying a bottle if u want to enter or just put up a BIG sign saying that Indians are not allowed. I work hard for the money that I earn and the only reason why i like coming back to Thailand is the fact that everyone is smiling and welcoming.... but if u really don't want me. I shall be more than glad to take my business else where ....We are trying to get rid of racism around the world but a shocker is that we find it in our own back yard.!!!" +Attraction,Date of experience: July 2014,Asia,Thailand,Bangkok,unknown,Consistently busy and friendly,"Mixx needs to be viewed for what it is... an afterhours club in Bangkok.It starts to get busy between midnight and 1am. It stays open until 5.306am under normal circumstances. Currently there are a few restrictions on opening hours due to the political situation and it has been forced to close around 3am.There's a nominal door fee some nights I think 350 baht for guys and free for girls is the most I've every paid. That gets you entry and one drink.Once inside, the security and waiting staff are pretty attentive. There is very rarely any trouble there. Clientele covers tourists, expats and locals. Most but not ALL of the female customers are 'working'... Therefore don't assume the girl you're talking to is a hooker, she might very well be someone's girlfriend. Drink prices are reasonable. 3000 100 baht for a bottle of Absolute vodka with some mixers. That usually gets you a table with very comfy sofas.The club is split into two a smoking room that usually plays dance music, and a nonsmoking room that plays chart and hip hop. This is usually the busiest room and the one I prefer as a non smoker.There has been a lot written about the door policy and racism. Having worked in club security before, I might be able to shed some light on that.Anyone who has been inside Mixx will have seen it's a very multicultural place. There are white, black, Asian and Arab guests. However, you will notice there isn't a predominance of any one race. It's quite balanced I've partied in there with ALL races.If a club gets a reputation for being an 'Indian' club, other nationalities won't go. Likewise if it's labelled a 'Black', 'Asian' or 'White' club, it tends to lose other races who don't feel comfortable.Therefore, the management strive to balance the clientele. If the club already has a large number of Indian guys inside and a group of nine more rocks up, the bouncers make a judgment call.And do other people just walk in Sure! Regulars, locals, big spenders, hot girls... It's just business.Is it fair No... But that's just the way the world works." +Attraction,Date of experience: June 2014,Asia,Thailand,Bangkok,unknown,Racist Place,"We were a group of Indians trying to enter Mixx but were denied entry saying it was a Member's night but they were letting in other nationals with fairer skin.

I can't really attest to the racist experiences of others, but I went in with my AsianAmerican girlfriend and we had no issues. The friend that took us was a regular there who keeps a table on reserve, so I guess that helped smooth things over. I did notice that the bouncers were a little rough with me until they realized who we were with, so I wouldn't discount the negative experiences of others. I'm also sure it was pretty overpriced but I didn't see the bill. All in all though, probably one of the best nights I've had in BKK. Definitely a 'who's who' of the Bangkok expat crowd, but with lots of sketchy Russian mafia types. Would definitely go back.

We were 9 well dressed guests from top end very well to do business families; all from Dubai, UAE of Indian Origin.The manager at MIXX told me that it's Mixx company policy to allow entry to only smaller crowds and so from my group of 9 6 girls and 3 gentlemen only 2 couples would be allowed. He said it was a directive from the police and crowd control. While we were listening to him and trying to follow as we had just been to other discos and they all welcomed us, it became clear what was really happening. Right behind us was a huge group of white people and they were all let in, infact welcomed. I confronted the manager he said 'some people can enter as big groups and YOU cannot'. Racist behaviour and extremely rude to non whites. Sir i would like to bring this issue out in your papers. Bangkok is a thriving market for tourism and such institutions should be exposed who practice such open racism.

He proceeded to go fetch a security guard whom he talked to for about a minute. One minute later I was getting escorted out of the club along with my entire group for no apparent reason while this Spanish man looked on smiling. The bouncers just yelled Spanish, knowing very well we did not understand much being Americans. No fumar was the phrase they kept repeating, which means no smoking, and we werent smoking.

Not like my review will negatively impact them anyways, but I will speak my truth. Ive been living in Madrid for a month now as an English teacher and have dealt with some insane amounts of racism and have kept it from my family back home but today was just the icing on the cake. A friend of mine and her girlfriends were visiting from France and some after we had some tapas and visiting a couple of places, we decided to check this place out. When we arrived, there was a line and we stood in it as is normal but the bouncers let everyone in but when it was our turn, he pulled the 4 of us out of line and asked about our invitation. The ladies thought it was strange he didnt ask anyone else for invitations but I already knew what it was; I was the WRONG COLOR. But, rather than jump to conclusions, we found someone with an invitation and joined him, but once again were pulled out of line. I tried speaking to the bouncers in Spanish, trying to ask what the problem was but they insisted that they couldnt understand what I was saying. So I motioned to speak to them in English which I knew they spoke but they once again acted as though they couldnt understand me. It was clear that my SKIN COLOR was the problem but because they kept asking my group specifically about our invitation, my friends went up to talk to them after I had a heated conversation with them which was profanity laced. They told my female friends ALL WHITE that they could come in but I wasnt allowed in there. They had no problem acknowledging their racism. Once I started screaming and telling everyone how racist they were, they called for their black employee and pointed at him saying how can we be racist, we have a black guy working in here . I will never visit this establishment ever again not that I can lol and want to make sure my white friends out of respect for me, never visit this place. I will be going back to take pictures of this Human Waste of an institution and will be posting it for everyone to see. So remember, if youre not white looking, dont come to this RACIST excuse for a club" +Attraction,Date of experience: November 2018,Europe,Spain,Community of Madrid,unknown,The worst racist club ever,"My friend and I we are Chinese but both live in the UK we were trying to enter the club with the downloaded QR code without holding our UK ID card.

And the way they pushed me was very rude and humiliating as if i stole something from them and they didnt give my friend her money back, they gave it to me just because i asked.NOT RECOMMENDED PLACE, they treat women very bad and they are very racist to people. I cant get the point of working as a bouncer if youre going to threaten people or the point of calling this place an international place when youre going to make fun of foreigners and discriminate them.

I managed to get served but she did shout at me in Spanish, I just laughed it off and pretended like I didnt notice.She did not serve four of my friends all white British females ages 2328. They went up on separate occasions and the bar lady threw the drinks vouchers back at them and said I dont serve English.

We got to the front and the bouncer asked how many, to which we replied 2. Im white and my boyfriend is black, with two full sleeves of tattoos. The bouncer moved us aside, out of the queue and said something in Spanish, which we didnt understand. He continued to let many people in including men in casual short sleeve t shirts and trainers. We asked another bouncer who didnt speak English why we werent allowed in. After about 5 minutes the original bouncer told us we werent allowed in because of my boyfriends tattoos and he was to go home and change. I said to the bouncer this is discrimination, you cant discriminate against someone because of their tattoos. He laughed and walked away. After reading other reviews on her about racist were questioning the real motive but I havent read anywhere that tattoos arent allowed. Wouldnt recommend this club on this basis, the club itself may be amazing, but we wouldnt know because of the discrimination faced by the door staff... shame !!" +Attraction,Date of experience: June 2018,Europe,Spain,Community of Madrid,unknown,Glad I bucked the negative reviews,"Stumbled on the famed 7 floor Madrid club while browsing on line...I decided to get a peek in to what it offers by going through the reviews on trip advisor. Being black I almost recoiled when I saw the litany of racism accusations on the reviews. However the classy party royalty in me took over.Through out my frequent travels, I had always insisted on partying at the most exclusive clubs and lounges..from Dubai,London,New York, Houston,Boston,Atlanta,Las Vegas,Miami........etc I had always partied with the most select crowd, so I decided I ll confirm if the profiling in Teatro is about race or about setting a bar.. I have always had that chip on my shoulder when I turn out in my designer ""flyness"" and my ""Naija swag"" and of course that Black American Express card was definitely going to swing me past any unwanted scrutiny. It was everything I expected, ushered in swiftly, presented my VIP pass and was immediately swept in to the party frenzy. Being a hip hop, RB and Afrobeat head I surprised myself at how much I rocked to Latin and Spanish beats on the main floor. Music was spiced up with a healthy dose of hip hop tunes from drake,Chris Brown and other heavy hitters. The Spanish Chica Bonitas were friendly, seriously feeling a ""fly homie""and the partying/getting down was nonstop....... Explored all 7 floors up to the smoke lounge at the top.Of course spent a considerable time at the Hip Hop RnB floors where some of the old school joints got me really nostalgic. TEATRO CAPITAL WAS THE BOMB.....Holla Madrid....Already planning my return...Didn't experience the much talked about racism, actually saw some white kids outside who were not allowed in....it's possible that it exists, but didn't experience any.....Big Ups to Teatro Kapital....Shall be back!!!!!" +Attraction,Date of experience: June 2018,Europe,Spain,Community of Madrid,unknown,Kapital Racist,"I have just visited Kapital and all I can say is I cannot believe such outward racism is still so prevalent in a Western European country Spain. My friends and I travelled from London, England to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. We decided to go to Kapital and was turned away because of the colour of our skins. How do I know this: my boyfriend is white and the bouncers let him through but told us to wait. I am black and our friends are Asian. After we were told to go, white Spanish people were allowed in. We stood outside the club for a while to watch what was going on. Two Arab men were turned away, mixed and black people were turned away. A lady wearing a hijab was also turned away. It's important to note that white British people weren't allowed in at the time we were there. So the discrimination was against race and nationality. I hope that more people write about what they have experienced. The more people's truths are told, the more problems like this can be highlighted and hopefully people in positions of power will start doing something to stop such discrimination." +Attraction,Date of experience: April 2018,Europe,Spain,Community of Madrid,unknown,DO NOT RECCOMEND,"This is the worst club ever, very rude, racist and selective staff, it is a disgrace of such an amazing city and country. Unacceptable. Never again!!!!!" +Attraction,Date of experience: March 2018,Europe,Spain,Community of Madrid,unknown,Fun...but at a cost,"I got to Kapital at around 12:15 AM on a Thursday night. I was with a group of 10 people, which was a mix of Latinos and AfricanAmericans. I had read reviews about Kapital before going, and I knew it had a history of racism, but thought I would take a chance. I was the person who made my group's reservation, and I showed the confirmation email to both bouncers. I'm an AfricanAmerican woman from the U.S., but I can speak Spanish, I was dressed pretty nicely, and I was with a group of girls, so I have a feeling that's why I got in. All the AfricanAmerican men that I was with tried to get in, but were told that they ""weren't dressed nicely enough"". However, several white boys were wearing things objectively worse than they were, and they got in without a problem. Kapital uses their ""strict dress code"" as a way to discriminate against prospective patrons. If you are a person of color, not a Spanish speaker or you are not wearing something you would wear to a wedding, then there is a 99 you won't get in. In any case, I would strongly recommend NOT going to Kapital because I find it morally bankrupt, and people shouldn't support an organization that is clearly racist and colorist. There are plenty of clubs and bars in Spain, so I would suggest going to another one. If you DO decide to go, there are several things you should know. The ""free entry"" thing is a scam. If you make a reservation, the confirmation code you receive in an email is a discount, where you can get two drinks for 17 euros. It isn't possible to get in without paying. Once inside, I also realized that the ""7 dance floors"" they heavily promote is also a scam. There are at most 3 dance floors, and each one has a bar looking over it. There is also a lounge upstairs. The first floor is the largest, and plays a combination of Spanish music, pop music, and EDM. The second dance floor is on the fourth floor and plays ""RB and hip hop music"", but it's often a hit or miss. They play music by black people and thinks it falls into that category, but half of it isn't really music you can dance to. The 6th floor is the Latino music floor, which was okay. It isn't nearly as extraordinary as they advertise it, and honestly is not the worth the time or stress." +Attraction,Date of experience: December 2017,Europe,Spain,Community of Madrid,unknown,"Racist, abusive staff!","My boyfriend and I had an awful experience at this place. It is worth noting that I am a white, well spoken and well presented British female, and as such am lucky enough not to be exposed to racist behaviour often. My boyfriend is a well mannered, well presented and educated Brazilian national who has lived in the UK for 27 years, he booked us tickets for this club as special surprise for me and when we arrived he approached the bouncers and showed them the tickets, he was waved to the back of the long line for us to queue up, so like polite British people we did as he said despite the booked tickets. In front of us were a group of scruffily dressed tracksuit bottoms, tshirts and trainers early 20s males who got in without a problem, when we got to the front of the queue, my boyfriend once again politely presented the tickets and was roughly ushered towards the other bouncer, who proceeded to demand to see his passport which is British incidentally and then asked tell him to undo his jacket and show him what he was wearing a smart polo shirt, Chinos and smart trainers he then looked at him in digust and said in 'There's a dress code in here, this isn't smart enough' and told him that we could not come in and that was final. I was disgusted at how rude he was and at this clearly false reason for not allowing him entry, and now having read some more reviews on the club it would seem that they have a problem with anyone resembling Middle Eastern or South American heritage.

The bouncer laughed at her Turkish passport and said no to her, after barely looking at my California license before admitting me. The same happened to our Moroccan friend, another MIT student who was simply trying to enter the club for a night with other friends who had been admitted Americans and Europeans.

When we asked them if they're being racist, they said ofc not, but didn't give an explanation. When our American and European friends arrived, they got in without a question. Ofc they didn't want to get in, and the bouncers pushed them inside and tried to prevent them from talking to us. We spent an entire hour in front of the club to get an explanation for all this crap, not a single of the staff at the door including the managers, etc. didn't say a single word about this racism. When we talked to the cops about the issue, they said they can't do anything about it. Came to hear learn about Spanish culture, but very disappointed on our second day.

We hadn't read the reviews prior to going, just heard from many of our friends who had moved to / visited Madrid that this was the flagship club. Don't bother !! Bouncers completely racist, we tried on the Friday, as a group of 3 Asian lads from the UK, one of us who was now studying in Madrid. Our white skinned friends immediately in front of us got in no problem, no questions asked. The bouncer then turned to us, saw we were tourists / ethnically different and claimed we needed an ""invite"" to come in, when we saw people immediately behind and in front of us get in with no qualms. They then murmured incoherently in Spanish that they didn't speak English and even refused to respond to my friend in Spanish. We then tried getting in with a group of British girls whom we met outside and they still refused, letting the girls in and showing us out of the queue, despite the nice girls claiming we were together. It was extremely frustrating to waste an hour standing outside watching people get in with no problem and have the bouncers flat out refuse an explanation as to why we couldn't go in. We saw other groups of coloured people also get refused.We tried to go again the following night and had the exact same experience; but this time we'd made a back up plan to not waste our last night in Madrid there as soon as the bouncers played the same card, we flagged a cab and went to Joy Eslava, where we'd spent the Thursday night and had another great evening.Avoid Kapital!" +Attraction,Date of experience: October 2016,Europe,Spain,Community of Madrid,unknown,If it was possible I would give negative or zero rating to this place!

Two black friends were at the back of the group and told they would have to pay 50 each, once the rest of us had already paid. Just to clarify all of us were smartly dressed and the two boys charged 50 were wearing almost the same as all of the white boys who entered for 22. Once inside although the pictures look quite good and the lighting is quite impressive, stupidly overpriced drinks mean a night slows after a few hours when you begin to sober. Go somewhere without the brand and have a much better spontaneous night out without being racially profiled by a power hungry meathead.

I visited Madrid the last 5 days of a 2 week trip to Spain in July 2015. We tried to visit at least 1 nightclub in each city as I do everywhere I travel. I checked TripAdvisor for reviews and narrowed it down to a few places...Kapital being one of them. Most of the reviews I glanced at seemed OK except for a few mentioning the staff possible being racist....and mostly complai nts of a 20 cover charge being too expensive. We thought we'd see for ourselves, so we got dressed up and headed over. When we arrived I noticed the clientele milling around out front. Not too impressive, average looking dressed a little to casual for what I'm used to at a popular nightclub in a major city. It was a Thursday night so I decided to give them a pass on that one. When we walked up the bouncers looked at us and proceeded to say 50 euro EACH to enter. That's about 54. Let me preface by saying i have NEVER been charged to get in ANY nightclub, let alone 54! I've not been charged in New York City, Los Angeles, Miami or even Las Vegas! So I certainly wasn't going to let a club that lets females wearing jean shorts and flip flops in, charge me 54. Im sure THEY did not pay 50 euro for entry. So apparently even though we could get in the most exclusive nightclubs elsewhere, we were not of the ""type"" that appeals to this place. Before they could open their mouths to say anything else i flagged down the next cab driving by and headed to Joy. They had a cover of 12 euro which included a cocktail and gogo dancers.

We got there and they asked us can we see your email confirmation. We showed them the email and our confirmation. They simply told us there is a mistake we cant let you in, the employee who booked your table is now busy inside and we where told that this is a mistake. All while this was happening they where letting every white person in right in front of us without reservations. They told us the only way we can get in is to pay 250 per person which is 2000 for us 8 which is ridiculously stupid. We ended up leaving disappointed and had a good night at two other clubs where we got tables. We have been told by many locals of ethnical backgrounds that Urban Beach is a very racist place. So if your black or brown, your better off going to Lux or Silk.

I have never whitnessed such blatant racism in my life.The first night we were told ""its a private party"". Which it wasn't.The 2nd night we tried and were deeply shocked when one of the reps told us the bouncers would refuse us entry because of our skin colour you know that lovely caramel skin tone everyone dies for yes that one! and that our Sikh friend had to remove his turban. Which is the biggest form of disrespect known to man. We then questioned why would they turn away our business there was 9 of us responsible adult guys visiting Portugal.He then had the cheek to say ""This club earns 50,000 Euro's a day. I don't think they would care about your business""Little did they know about our own incomes and businesses. At this stage were thinking about making them an offer to buy the club and run it properly. They think they are high rollers Little did they know.This club is an embarrassment to beautiful Portugal. They can keep their attitude and racism and have just dug their own grave.My advice Walk further down the strip to a club called ""Lust in Rio"". It's and outdoor club. Very friendly bouncers and staff. Just don't throw the white ticket they sign or its a 150 euro fine. It's used for security reasons if you book a table. Nice vip lounge at the top half.If any K Urban Club owners are reading this. I would like to make them an offer on purchasing the club outright." +Attraction,Date of experience: June 2017,Europe,Portugal,Central Portugal,unknown,Shocking level of racism can't believe this still happens!,"A few people had suggested not going here as it was usually a challenge to get into the club however given that the group and I had arrived early, were fairly sober and smartly dressed we thought we'd chance it. There wasn't much of a queue when we arrived as it was a Thursday so didn't wait too long to get to the front, probably 510 mins Maximum. There were 4 drunk locals ahead of us who where barely standing so we fancied our chances of getting in. Our group consisted of 6 people all mixed races from London; we approached the entrance and bouncer took one look at us and said ""no"" and began ushering us to the side to let the guys behind us through. Naturally our reaction was to ask ""why"" and his response was....while pointing at his arm and my friend's arm and he then stated ""nationality"" nothing else. We initially thought we'd misheard but our Portuguese guide had been taking us to various bars earlier told us that he had stated very clearly that it was because of the colour of our skin. At that point as you can imagine where fairly vexed however reframed from kicking off as our guide told us that the bouncers could make the situation worse if they called the police so we stepped away in shock. I wouldn't have had an issue if the bouncer had said ""there were too many guys"" or that you need to ""get a table to come in"" as that is expected with groups of guys but to blatantly refused based on our skin colour is shocking. This has never happened to myself and i would suggest that if you're ever going to Portugal and want to go to a club, then avoid this place at all costs.It's sad to see that Racism at this level still exists in parts of Portugal; we never had this issue anywhere else in Portugal and fortunately the incident didn't ruin our holiday but it will definitely make me think twice about going to Portugal again." +Attraction,Date of experience: June 2017,Europe,Portugal,Central Portugal,unknown,Racist Cesspit.

Absolute joke and would not recommend this establishment to anyone!" +Attraction,Date of experience: October 2016,Europe,Portugal,Central Portugal,unknown,Racist and a huge scam STAY AWAY,"Came from Toronto with 5 other friends. Called the bar ahead of time to ask about the dress code and was told that it's ""casual, everyday wear"". Arrived in 2 separate cabs. 3 of us got into the club, no problem and they charged us 12 euros each. Inside the club, girls were wearing adidas sneakers and guys were in tshirts and jeans. In our group of 3, 2 of us had hats on and were told to take them off. We coatchecked the hats for 1 euro each. The second cab had 2 of our friends one who was black and the other brown. They arrived 5 minutes after us and were told they couldn't come in if they weren't on guest list. When they told the bouncers their friends arrived less than 10 minutes ago, the bouncers told them to go to the side door but they couldn't get in through the front. They proceeded to the side door and the bouncers there told them it was 250 euros EACH. They refused to pay. It was around 1:30 AM at this time and the club was less than half full. We decided to pay our bills and leave, however I asked to speak to the manager to find out exactly why our friends were refused entry. When the manager came out, he told me that it was ""up to the doormen and they can charge anywhere from 12 euros to 250 euros"". I was really calm as we didn't wanna start trouble in a new city. I told him ""I don't want to cause any trouble, I just want to know why they were charged 20 times the price we were charged"". He said ""you have to talk to the doorman, I don't have any answers for you."" I was confused, as the manager of the bar had no answers and seemed to just tell me that it was up to them whether they would let someone in based on their skin color. I told him ""ok I'm sorry to hear that, I just wanted a reason and to know that you weren't racist. We will be leaving now"". After getting my friends hats from coatcheck, we were about to leave. The manager came back up to me and told me ""I don't want you to think I'm racist because we have one black guy working here"". I said ""sir I'm not asking about your employees I just want to know why my friends were charged 20 times the price."" He said ""come we can go talk to the doorman but it is up to him. In Portugal the doormen can choose who they let in"". When we talked to the doorman he gave us the reason that ""your friends were dressed too sporty"". I said ""we got in with tshirts and jeans but my black friend in a sweater and black shoes and my brown friend in a dress shirt is too sporty"" He said ""your friends are borderline sporty, his tshirt is from adidas but we just let you guys in"". I told them that we called ahead of time and they told us ""casual everyday clothing"" but ""thank you and we're going to leave"". This place is full of racist employees who are on a power trip. They don't care about how they treat their customers. I wish we had read reviews ahead of time because seeing all the negative reviews, I would never have come to begin with! As a sidenote, beers are 4 euros for small cups and gin and soda is 6 euros. It's a tourist trap and not worth it. We went to Pink Street instead and there are so many bars that are full of locals and people drinking on the streets.I know that racism exists but I've never experienced something as blatant as this. I was outraged and wish that I had gotten the whole thing on video. We didn't want to start anything because we are smarter than that and it's not worth ruining the rest of our vacation.

The racist employees first described my refusal as a 'dress code issue', yet when I showed them that I was dressed a lot more formally than any white person entering, the racist manager said that there 'was a look of people that they let in, and a look of people that they didn't let in, and I didn't adhere to the look that they let in'. And when I said that was tantamount to racism, the manager walked away offended that I could ever accuse them of racism.

Violent unreasonable staff and the owner has an extreme 'God complex'!,"I'm a 31 year old female, we visited Lisbon as a group of 13 girls for a civilized hen do. We visited Urban Beach on the Saturday night. This club has a system whereby you are supposed to be given a card when you enter, which is then used as a tab whilst in the club, you then settle up when you leave. I didn't know this, as I was categorically not given a card when I entered. So when it came to leaving and they wanted my card, I didn't have one to give them and was really confused why they were getting angry with me. I assured them that I did not have a card. They demanded 50 otherwise I was not allowed to leave. I didn't have 50 and they wouldn't allow my friends to pay for me. They got extremely aggressive, they were racist and I was pinned to the ground at one point when I tried to explain that as a large group they clearly missed me out. One of my friends was pushed against a wall when she tried to help reason with them. A group of really kind British guys stepped in to help support me, one of them offered to pay for me to get out but he was immediately put in a headlock. I was ushered back into the club and was told not to come back out until 7am it was about 5am at this point, whilst back in the club very upset and shaken up by the whole thing I was followed around by bouncers with walkie talkies, I felt like a criminal and was incredibly humiliated! Meanwhile, my friends asked to see the manager, they were met by the owner, who resembled Count Dracula in his appearance, extremely intimidating and behaved like some sort of cruel dictator, absolutely consumed by power and getting a great deal of satisfaction by the level of helplessness he was inflicting! We were about to call the police but a group of Portuguese chaps, who were mortified by the behaviour of the bouncers, advised us not to bother, he said we would probably get arrested and they would have no ability to reason either. Eventually, they allowed my friend to pay them 50, which was received with a horrible smirk! After having such a fun night with my friends, my experience in this club was certainly not the icing on the cake, it was nothing short of disgusting and I would strongly advise anyone thinking of going here, male or female, to avoid it at all costs!" +Attraction,Date of experience: July 2015,Europe,Portugal,Central Portugal,unknown,OMG!

This summer I went to Lisbon and on a night out with my cousin we decided to hit the night we went to Bairro Alto and some night clubs in the 24 de Julho and saw this quite new spot that seemed very cool from the outside, we queued for nearly an hour and when we got to the door we saw one of their Reps talking to a bouncer pointing at us. When we got to the door the Rep was hiding behind the bouncer and the bouncer refused our entry saying that the club was full but if we made a reservation and paid 250 euros we could gain access to the club, this while the people queuing behind us where just being let in. From there we could see that the house wasn't even half full.I also saw that only white people was being let in while indians and dark skinned people where being turned away. A shameful behavior that shouldn't be tolerated but unfortunately it seems that they can get away with it. You can read the reviews of that place and we can see that this is a common practice for them. My advice is that if you want to enjoy your night without any discrimination go elsewhere, Lisbon at night is fun and the most exciting places and parties let everyone in so stay away from this place." +Attraction,Date of experience: May 2015,Europe,Portugal,Central Portugal,unknown,Worst club ever,We were a group of eight friends and after standing in line for like 30 mins we were shown the way out by the security even before entering the place only because of the reason that we were indians.

But paying a fee just because youre a little bit too much taned or look local is just unacceptable. Were in 2019..... We actually felt really bad for the locals who were as well being refused access unless paying the skin colour access fee ...Some tourists were surprised by such policies and decided to not enter the party.After few minutes the manager decided to show up and invited us to enter for free.

The last at the front I guess she's a bouncer is SO racist she just downright denied us just by looking at our faces and let 7 white guys in right after. I don't understand how such a top club in London is so racist this is insane. I've never felt so offended and discriminated against. And my three friends feel the same way. If you're a minority please don't go here, you're just going to be really offended and hurt." +Attraction,Date of experience: August 2017,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,unknown,Pretentious,"Sexist, racist, ageist and homophobic. Very pretentious. You'll only get in if you're good looking and slim. Boys get charged double entry just for being male. The bouncers and security bully people around making sure the most good lucking people are on the VIP tables. The only good thing about the place is the music.

Arrived on time shortly after the club had even opened me and my friends were on the guestlist, there was also more girls than boys and we got told they didn't like the look of certain members of the group, despite all being smartly dressed. It seemed to be a case of racism in my opinion. The bouncers were rude as well as the guestlist women on the door. Save your time and go somewhere less pretentious!" +Attraction,Date of experience: October 2015,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,unknown,So pretentious,And racist... That is all. The door staff are totally ott. What is the irony of a hip hop club/bar where coloured people are not welcome.Seems like an all too familiar story... Or maybe it was the fact we weren't dressed like strippers +Attraction,Date of experience: January 2017,Europe,Germany,Hesse,unknown,Don't risk it!,"I would discourage anyone of color to try and get in here. Although me and my friends where able to get into this club four black people. It took a silver tongue to eventually get in. Once we got in, we realized that everything there was cash only. My male college and I then left to retrieve some cash from the atm to return to them not wanting to let us in this time. The only thing that had saved us to get back in is that our female companions where inside. So they let us come in. You could tell some of them did not want us in there. Once we got inside the club, the wait staff was very rude when we tried to order bottle service. The only positive thing about this place was the music. But the overall racist feel of this place gets no stars from me! If it had not been NYE, we would have went somewhere else." +Attraction,Date of experience: November 2016,Europe,Germany,Hesse,"Lagos, Nigeria",I was pepper sprayed for being black,"I have lived in Germany for over 2 years and i have been to travolta twice with white colleagues. I have some new colleagues from Africa and we decided to hang out here together. They asked us for a reservation, which we didn't have but watched other people walk in without reservations! My colleague asked why we are the only ones required to come with a reservation and the bouncers were already trying to assault her. I took her and walked 100M away from the entrance but the bouncer kept screaming that we leave the vicinity and i told him i am not getting into his club and he has no rights to decide where i stand on the streets. He walked towards us and pepper sprayed me!!! All my colleagues ran away and the came back to pull me up. I have experienced lots of racial abuses and discriminations in German night clubs but this was the peak! I was taken in an ambulance to the hospital. I called the police but only took my ID and asked what happened and told me to go to the hospital that i will be contacted later. German clubs are racists! But travolta is murderous and criminal! That there is my destroyed jacket. Well, i am glad to be alive! He sprayed my nose and i almost passed out. I am an asthmatic.

I just wanted to prove wether it's true, I went there on Thursday which is not usually a busy day for club goers but still i was disappointed cause those racist couldn't let me in for no good reason. I speak German so I asked them why and the answer was because they don't know me and I don't have a female company. I was like is that real And the Dude answered yes. So I drove to another Club and enjoyed my evening. So don't waste your time and gas..Just go to the next club near by they are plenty of them in the Area and enjoy your evening." +Attraction,Date of experience: February 2016,Europe,Germany,Hesse,unknown,Racist Establishment,"DO NOT CHOOSE THIS CLUB!!! My friends and I recently visited the club while on vacation in Frankfurt and as we were in the line I stepped out to talk to one of the guys ""in charge"". I asked him were they still letting people inside because I didn't see the line moving. He immediately said yes they are, but the bouncer chooses who he will let inside. I asked what that meant and he made a comment about them granting admission based on the crowd. I immediately asked if that meant that they were not letting in black people, as that is how the comment read to me. So I let it slide and get back in line because I figure we will just get to the door soon. They begin letting in groups of people and then when we get to the front of the line, the bouncer starts speaking to the man ""in charge"" in German and then he tells us that we can't get in. I ask why We have been standing in the line for 20 minutes IN THE COLD, so I wanted to know exactly why we weren't able to get in. He tells me he doesn't have to have a reason. I don't budge because I still would like to know what the problem is. He asked us to step to the side and says someone will be giving us a ticket. I ask a ticket for what He yells and says a ticket to come back next week which I'm sure was a lie. I tell him we don't want the ticket as we would not be returning, but I would like to know the reason we can't come in this night. Mind you, as he tells us we can't get in, they still let in groups of WHITE women that were behind us in line. So I ask why were they able to get in and we could not. Then call all these other men to come over. One gets directly in my face in a threatening manner and puts his hand in my face and tells me to move. At this point I felt super threatened. I told him don't ever put his hands on me. He continues and we are going back and forth. The ""in charge"" guy comes over and says that we can't get in and they don't have to have a reason. I ask repeatedly is it because we are black. Actually, I'm 100 sure it was because we are black, but it annoys me when RACISTS hide behind lies. He gives me the typical racist response ""my boss is black"" which I know is a lie. We eventually left but I would not recommend this establishment to ANYONE. Absolutely no need to have 5 grown men that feels it's necessary to confront three BLACK women as if we are MEN. I would never spend my money here. I am actually giving his club zero stars" +Attraction,Date of experience: February 2016,Europe,Germany,Hesse,unknown,Racist Club Travolta,"Similar to most of the other reviews my friends and I experienced the interesting entry policy which is blatantly racist. It appears they are only letting in white Germans under the disguise of being a ""members only"" club. We were chatting with the white German girls in front of us who weren't ""club members"" and they got in with no problem. After being denied entry we were waiting outside for a German friend who was already inside also not a member and watched them repeatedly deny foreigners and nonwhites. I would encourage others not to patronize this place.

Never go here +Attraction,Date of experience: September 2018,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,unknown,Made an account just for this!,"I dont normally write reviews online but I have felt so strongly about my experience that I actually made an account just to review this bar. This club is just NOT WORTH THE DRAMA. I went for my friends birthday 5 girls we were told through promoters that we would get into the club for free and have a table with drinks but this wasnt the case. DONT LISTEN TO THE PROMOTERS THEYRE SELLING LIES. While queuing to get into the club as it opened we saw people getting turned away at the door and thought it was strange. We then got to the bouncer and we explained that we were on the LUX guest list and he replied saying that two of us can go free but the other three had to pay 20 entry fee. This was annoying as it is an extortionate amount to pay to get into a bar and we had been told that we wouldnt have to pay entry but we just split the 60 five ways and got on with it. We went into the club after texting the LUX promoters that we had arrived and they replied telling us to go to table 26/27 having never been to drama before and there were no table numbers this was a hassle in itself. We eventually found the table and saw people sitting there so we asked the man looking after the table if we had the right one and he said he would take us to our table soon but he was just serving drinks so we agreed and waited patiently. After about 20 minutes it became obvious that he wasnt going to help us so I said to him that we were still waiting for our table and he just replied youre sharing here and walked away. This was so frustrating as we were sharing a table with 3 other groups if not more so all of the free drinks with the table had been drank and there was no seating left at all. That was all within the first hour of being there and it only disappointed me more as the night went on! The promoters were rude, the atmosphere was pretentious, there is blantant racism on display, the drink prices are extortionate 50 for three drinks!, the list goes on... We eventually got kicked out for changing into flat shoes Im assuming that didnt fit the image theyre looking for. The only good thing about my night was my company.

This would obviously make the night more affordable and special for her! We did have our doubts as the reviews for Drama online are pretty poor with terms like racist and rude appearing overly a lot you wont be accepted into the club if you dont fit with the overall image. The promoter even asked for a photo of us before hand how shallow!!!!Anyway, we decided to overlook the negatives and try to prove them wrong. Upon arrival we queues up and instantly got told entry is 20 each. After a little bit of confusion, all 6 of us came together to pay the entry as we were told once we were inside we will have an excellent night. However, as we were about to pay one of the guards and managers I guess said that 5 of us could pay 60 in total and come in but not the 6th girl. She wasnt drunk and they expected us to ditch our friend in the middle of central London on her own for no apparent reason. I think being treated the way we were was a complete joke for a highend club, not only were we sold a lie but were treated like mugs. After chatting to a few people, even one of the staff said Libertine is a lot better. So we ended up with a promoter and a table there, saving our friends birthday and having the night of our lives!!!!!!

He has previously arranged and come with us to a predinner in a restaurant right next to the club for me and my friends on one of our visits which was a really nice way to start our night out.I was confused by some of the racist/sexist allegations made about the club as I regularly attend drama with friends of all different ethnicities and genders and not one of them has been discriminated against.If youre out in London I would 100 recommend going to drama park lane, youre guaranteed a night you wont forget!" +Attraction,Date of experience: May 2018,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,unknown,Shockingly racist club black people treated with contempt!,"Its with a heavy heart that I have to write this review...

We were then asked if we were on the guest list by a clipboard holder and a bouncer. We gave her our names at which point the clipboard holder said our black friends name was not down so she could not get in. I said it was her birthday and I had called the promoter to put our names down. She rolled her eyes and said you 3 can get in but she cant. The bouncer then said if she wants to get in she has to pay 20 but you lot can go in for free..meaning the 3 of us white ladies. We could not believe what we were hearing. It ruined her birthday and our night. We left!Its shocking that this kind of thing goes on and this club is getting away with hiding behind the guest list nonsense in order to discriminate against minorities, black people especially. We witnessed 4 black couples being humiliated and turned away for no reason. So Drama Park Lane, please treat people with respect..your club is racist and the whole world should know.

Bearing in mind there was only 67 people inside at this point. I approached a different bouncer on the side to try to find out there reason for not allowing us in... He said my wife can go in but not me. I said why is that He said ""that's the way it is here"" my wife was in tears on our wedding anniversary.

One month before 1st time I went Insanity and found its totally different and its become a racist club. I read some review in here where most of the subcontinent people complain that they are some harshed or barred to enter the club. Manager of the club writes here many times that subcontinent people will not harsh a barred in the club but practically still it's not happened. I saw that security of the club did very bad behaviour with some Indian guy when they try to enter the club with entrance fee 300 baht, they offered if they want to enter the club they have to buy two whisky bottle. They also ask 900 baht from me as entrance fee but at the same time, they allowed some western guy with 300 bath fee. This is totally insulting to subcontinent people and maybe this policy introduces the management of the club. This type of racist policy really unacceptable a cosmopolitan city like Bangkok." +Attraction,Date of experience: December 2017,Asia,Thailand,Bangkok,unknown,Insane!,"Let's get this straight.there are a few negative reviews. Stuff about racism. Didn't feel anything like that. Every club abroad is in it's right to get identity checked and have a dress code. So dress up and then entry was easy. Even driving licence helps. 1000 bahts though for three drinks. It's Bangkok so having hookers around is a given. No issues with the security guys inside the club.the music is a blast! The acoustic are so good that while it's loud and has a deep bass, doesn't hurt your ears. A fine place to party! " +Attraction,Date of experience: September 2017,Asia,Thailand,Bangkok,unknown,Utter racism and pointless discrimination!!!!!!!!!!,"I showed up to this place on my last night during my visit, i was asked for my ID, being on a visit, i gave my passport to the two bouncers at the entrance. They asked me to wait on the side to check with their ""boss"" obviously white, who was busy flirting with a local female besides us. He came and checked my passport and looked at me repeatedly as if i had stolen the passport. Then after the ""check"" he asked me if i had a membership ofcourse i didnt i was visiting for christ's sake! Then he dismissed me like no, unfortunately you cant go in. For real Rather than letting me know where i should get the supposed membership just like that he didnt even give me a reason. I have visited clubs elsewhere never have i encountered such treatment, i mean was i too black for that club or what I to be honest didnt expect such shadyness in a city that is so used to tourists. They really need to learn how to treat people with dignity." +Attraction,Date of experience: September 2017,Asia,Thailand,Bangkok,unknown,Horrible bouncer,"Just got back from the Insanity Nightclub and I must say that in all my 26 years I have never experienced racism as I did at this club. I got to the entrance and the bouncer ask for my ID. I assumed that he did this to verify my age. So not the case. He told me point blank that they do not allow ""black people"". At first I wasn't sure I had heard his correctly. So I asked him to repeat what he said. He said and I quote, ""Your skin is black, not allowed"". I think that this establishment has a problem with Africans, but I'm not from Africa, I'm from South America. And he, in his ignorance just assumed that I was from Africa which shouldn't even be an issue because I'm black. When I proceeded to ask what being black has to do with me being allowed in the club or not, he shoved me aside. Literally. I was flabbergasted. But decided to just let it go and leave. I wouldn't want to demand entrance into a place that is so discriminatory. Please, in the future, tell your bouncers to be respectful. No one, regardless of where they are from deserves to be treated the way I was treated." +Attraction,Date of experience: August 2017,Asia,Thailand,Bangkok,unknown,Racist,"I was with 2 black friends girls and 2 asian friends guy we took a bottle of absolute, then the security guard ask '' tan skin are with u '' i said yes why He look at her and find an excuse to reject them shoes my black friend said but this girl have the same shoes, then he kick them out, its unacceptable." +Attraction,Date of experience: July 2017,Asia,Thailand,Bangkok,unknown,Racist towards indian.,We had gone to this club on monday 17th of july to enjoy drinks and music. Unfourtunately the club is racist towards indians. Entry fee for indians is 1000 bath and for people from other countries is 300 bath. I was shock to know this. According to the so called pretigious insanity club indians just order one drink and sit wid it whole nite. I was quite disaoppinted with the attitude of club towards indians as if we dont have money to buy drinks and people from other countries are gud enuf to afford. I hope they do change their attitude. +Attraction,Date of experience: July 2017,Asia,Thailand,Bangkok,unknown,Racist !,"We are world travellers and we have not had this kind of disappointing experience anywhere else ! My husband was in long shorts. The guards took us aside and asked us ""where we are from"". When we answered that we are from India. He pointed to his legs and said ""can't go in"". We stood aside contemplating what else we could do and then we see another foreigner in shorts. These very guards who didn't let us through because my husband was in shorts didn't stop him and allowed him to enter. When I pointed this out to the guards he ignored us and asked us to move aside. Extremely racist, so not typically expected from people here in Thailand who are exceptionally welcoming. This place stinks of racism and I am going to tell everyone to avoid this place like plaque." +Attraction,Date of experience: May 2017,Asia,Thailand,Bangkok,unknown,Racist and Extremely Rude.,"I would really like to know on what basis are the bouncers and the manager of this horrible nightclub being racist They did not let me and a bunch of my friends enter because we were Indians. They let everyone in the club except for us and told us that in order to enter, we each need to buy a bottle of alcohol. I am forced to give it a rating but if it was possible, I would give it negative ratings. It doesn't even deserve that one star. Ruined our night making us never want to visit Bangkok again." +Attraction,Date of experience: July 2016,Asia,Thailand,Bangkok,unknown,Racist club,Went there around 11 last night. When we tried getting in... The guards outside said we cannot enter as my husband was in shorts and sandals. Which was ok. But at the same time we saw these same men allow a white guy to enter in with shorts and sandals. They even asked us where are we from... When told them india... They said no. The most pathetic club ever. We understand if that's a rule and if it applies to all... Just because we are colored people they asked us to leave. The worst experience in Bangkok. +Attraction,Date of experience: June 2018,Europe,Germany,Berlin,unknown,Very Racist and not for Tourists,Went to maxxim with my wife and another couple. The doormen gave us dirty looks but let us in. When we asked for drinks at the bar we were told go to the bar on the far end. Once we asked for drinks there we were ignored. If your a minority or a tourists I highly recommend avoiding this club completely. There are much better and fun places to go in Berlin....with much more friendly staff. +Attraction,Date of experience: February 2018,Europe,Germany,Berlin,unknown,Worst Experience Ever,"Very racist door staff.

We went to this club, paying 9,50 to go in. After five minutes we got a message that our friends couldn't go inside. We had a friend with a beard and apparently, because of that, he looked like a terrorist. Then the darker coloured girl who was with him asked why they couldn't come inside because the guards didn't tell them yet and one of the guards said there was a private party, even though we were already in and we didn't know anybody. We already went in with 14 people, so they already earned 133 because of us before they rejected our friends. We tried for almost an hour to let our friends in. The guards didn't even listen to them and ignored them just like they weren't there, even when our girlfriend was crying and begging them to let her in. Eventually we all left the club, leaving our 133 with them.

Anyway we went somewhere else and spent the last of our money so this night club made a loss of almost a 1000 euro because there racist bouncer wouldnt let us in, if I was the owner of this night club I would seriously think about getting new door staff." +Attraction,Date of experience: December 2016,Europe,Germany,Berlin,"Swindon, United Kingdom",Avoid,"Do not give these people your money, went with 2 friends, apparently 'black night' and we should leave and not come back, do not give these people your money.

He said we cannot come in without a reason and aggressively told us to move away. I believe this was due to the colour of my skin and feel it was racial discrimination as he let other people in. He then refused entry to another girl who was black without reason and things got heated. I went up and said I feel it's racist and one the bouncers spat on my trouser. It was the most awful experience and I reported it to the police. For evidence I took pictures of the bouncers and he snatched my phone forcefully and deleted them. However I took more pictures. +Attraction,Date of experience: March 2017,Europe,Spain,Catalonia,unknown,Racist bouncers,First night in Barcelona me and three of my mates from England decide to go bling bling.

Then after queing up for another half an hour in the normal line the greasy looking bouncer refuses us because we're English.Absolutely disgusting racist bouncers and i wouldn't recommend this racist club to anybody. +Attraction,Date of experience: August 2016,Europe,Spain,Catalonia,unknown,Worst experience of my life! It makes not want to go back to Barcelona again,"My 4 friends and I were visiting Barcelona for the first time from NYC for 3 days, and a friend that lives there suggested this club and that a promoter for this club said that all we needed to do was to go to the bar across from Bling Bling, have a drink and we would get a pass to go in. So we did that and after our drinks, went to make the line and before we made it to the door, a man asked if we had invitation and the moment I said ""no we have"" he didn't even let me finished and grabbed my arm and pulled me and my friends out of the line, he didn't even let me explain, or ask if we had to pay to get in... he treated us like we were the worst and trying to talk to the other security was the same deal. We asked for the manager and they laugh saying he was on vacation. They just ruined our first night in Barcelona and unfortunately it feels like its a very racist place which is the wrong attitude for place that depends a lot on tourism. I have never felt this bad or treated that way in my 34 years... We are girls that are always well dressed and well educated, we have traveled around and visited many party cities like Dubai, Vegas, NYC, Miami and been to the best places in those cities and we never experience anything like what we did in Barcelona. Pure racist and lack of education. And I want to make clear that we are not upset that we couldn't go in... we are not 20 yrs old anymore where something like that matters, plus we have been to better places. The issue is how these uneducated people treated us, is just unacceptable and nobody should be treated that way. We were in a total shock at first and couldn't understand why we couldn't be told in a nice way, ""unfortunately its invitation only"" and we would have left to another place with no issue. The reason I am writing this review is so no one else experience anything like this at this place.And to the management of bling bling... remember you are a business not GOD, therefore you depend on people to be standing and nothing is forever unless you provide outstanding services... which bling bling lacks." +Attraction,Date of experience: November 2015,Europe,Spain,Catalonia,unknown,Expensive racist place,"After the longest queue ever, the bouncer at the door told us it was only for locals obviously in the rudest possible way.

Everyone who was let in was everything but posh.Also, how stupid is that a business won't let you waste your money with themIf you are old enough and you can afford it, you should be able to be treated as a person at least.Shame on this Barcelona's nightclub." +Attraction,Date of experience: September 2015,Europe,Spain,Catalonia,unknown,After waiting for 1.5 hour bouncers Carlos baldy bouncers kicked us out soon as we showed American British ID Racist,"If you're not Caucasian Spanish don't even bother going to this club. I'm proud of being British and being tolerant and accepting is just a norm in UK! We waited for an hour in a queue just to be told to queue up in a normal queue and the queue are for those in guest list. This was not the case. We gave up this knowing that we won't get in just because we spoke Spanish. When we got to the front of the line Carlos middle aged bouncer kept letting Spanish girls mostly in but a group of Spanish guys in front of us got kicked out too as they were in the front of the queue before us in a precious queue. Carlos' colleague the asked for IP. We showed our I'D and the bouncer checked it and said 'No Inglelas' and kicked us out of the ordinary queue too without any reason.

A group 2 couples who heard about this place which was one of the famous and best place to party decided to visit this place. Upon reaching this place we did not get an entry just because we did not carry our passport although we had digital copies of passport. We have been to various clubs across the world but no one has ever asked for our passports and who carries a passport to a club.

While the table was very cheap compared to most cities 10,600 THB, but the quality of service is very poor. The racism is very evident and staff was very rude, despite booking a table. When the music stopped at around 3 am, rather than being polite staff asked us to get out of the club. We were trying to get all our belongings and the staff started pushing us. When 2 of us interfered requesting them to be polite, they pushed us hard and dragged us out of the club. On trying to take their picture, they switched on torch lights on their phone outside the club to avoid being captured. Not a place worth going to." +Attraction,Date of experience: September 2017,Asia,Thailand,Bangkok,unknown,Racists and rude,Apparently its hard to enter the club if youre an Indian.

The door men did not grant us entry because we did not make a reservation. I have never felt so discriminated against because of the coulor of my skin, straight after 3 white males were not stopped at the door and they were let through without any hesitation. Disgrace !!" +Attraction,Date of experience: September 2017,Asia,Thailand,Bangkok,unknown,Racist and rude,"Went there, all dressed up, only to be told that we need to show our passports for entry. They should know that obviously many tourists prefer not to carry their passports with them at all times, especially when roaming around locally in trains and taxis, that too heading out for a party at a nightclub! One could easily misplace it! So of course we'd left them back at the hotel in the safe. We then asked them, couldn't they accept our driving license as an ID proof They then diverted the issue and came up with a fresh problem your shoes ain't right, go around the corner, find a shop, buy new shoes and then come back. I'm not making this up, he literally said those exact words to me, all the while sheepishly avoiding eye contact. I had a minor suspicion we were being treated unfairly because of race/color, but this confirmed it. For the first time in my life i've encountered such rude behaviour, and we're well traveled. From US to Europe, nowhere have we ever encountered such horrible staff. All the negative reviews of this place have been consistently highlighting this problem with this particular nightclub may be its time for someone to take note Horrible experience, we eventually went to a much nicer place and had a better evening than we would have had here even if they'd let us in, I'm sure of that." +Attraction,Date of experience: April 2017,Asia,Thailand,Bangkok,unknown,Extremely racist. A Total Rip off!!!!,We visited Levels on 8 Apr. it was the worst experience ever. the doormen were so racist.

At the entrance we ordered a bottle of Absolut Jack Daniels. however when we got to the table it was a bottle of Jack Daniels Ciroc vodka. when we said we asked for Absolute they informed us we cannot change the bottle then brought a bottle of absolute charged us for that as well. when the waitress offered my friend a drink who said he doesnt drink she brought 2 bottles of water gave us a bill for 500 Baht. We never asked for water in the first place. you shouldn't rip people off like this. it was the worst experience ever... i wouldn't recommend this club to anyone +Attraction,Date of experience: April 2017,Asia,Thailand,Bangkok,unknown,Racist Morons,Refrain from visiting this place.

In front of us was another couple with the woman in headscarf. They were denied entry in what appeared to be a very rude demeanour but we couldn't excatly hear the excuse given by the bouncers. We were next in line and were stopped because I was wearing shorts with closed shoes. That's understandable I thought since a lot of clubs have that rule. In any case we returned an hour later and of course, the security blocked us again. This time they said they are only allowing people with reservations. Reservations In a club Really Fine. I asked them; ""so how do I make reservations for tomorrow"" The question threw them off and the bouncers mumbled something to the effect that we don't know and don't bother us. At the same time, we saw a lot of white people entering without being stopped or questioned about the reservations. What a shame! This place deserves to be boycotted." +Attraction,Date of experience: January 2017,Asia,Thailand,Bangkok,unknown,Racist Bouncers,"Club is great. Awesome DJ, friendly staff, good crowds and great vibe. Though bouncers tend to be rather racist towards nonThai.

Last week i was in Bangkok with my friends and i suggested why not we go to Levels and i was all praise for the place only to realise that we will not be allowed in. The guy at the entrance first asked if we spoke Thai and when we said no, he immediately asked do you have a reservation We said no again. Having said that we were denied entry to the club inspite it being free entry / club night / welcome to all. While he kept denying the entry to us, we saw a lot of whites entering without being questioned. In fact, there were a lot of locals who entered too without being stopped. Now why would you only stop us of all the people We were dressed up class, well mannered and behaved and this is how you treat us in return This clearly shows the act of discrimination which is definitely not accepted anywhere in the world.Also when my friend asked this guy which other place you would recommend us to go to. He recommended a club nearby wouldn't want to take the name here which turns out to be the one of the shadiest clubs of Bangkok. He said "" You should go to this xxxxxxxx club, its perfect for you"".

First they told us only guests with shoes are allowed. We went back to hotel and changed.

I can't see any reason to deny other than our skin color, he could have very well said first time that there is ongoing private party, but seeing our persistence made filmsy excuse. I would say to avoid this establishment." +Attraction,Date of experience: May 2016,Asia,Thailand,Bangkok,unknown,Thoroughly racist behaviour,"After a lovely start to our evening at Le bua where we had the finest scotch and champagne and amazing hospitality, we decided to check out Levels.

None of them were asked for a reservation. But we were stopped, asked for ids and when we mentioned that we are from India, were told that we cannot enter without prior reservation.

When asked if we could then book one, or purchase a couple of bottles to enter, they said they were full.However, they continued to everyone else in, and happened to notice that a couple of other Indians were denied entry as well, with no good reasoning. This proves that the club is highly racist and unprofessional." +Attraction,Date of experience: April 2016,Asia,Thailand,Bangkok,unknown,Different levels of racism,"Heads up to the African and Indian guys , the club doesn't want you guys in the club, cause it might spoil their crowd image.

It is situated on the 6th floor with a quick lift where on opening you are greeted by security and then ushered into the interior. There is an inside and outside drinking area. Attended the inside this time around and I wasn't disappointed. The club has a great atmosphere after 11pm, with disco dancers, DJ etc and very attentive waiters, each having a lit name tag on their chests. The mood was great as was the music and dancing. A great place to come and people watch as there are men and women from around the world coming here. I have read of the staff being racist but haven't seen anything from my attendance there to indicate this. But may be possible. I have never been charged entry fee nor had any trouble finding a place, such as the barrels that are placed around the dance floor, to place my drinks.

Never go there.Must thank LEVELS for one thing, since we were stopped by their super generous bouncers and lovely ladies outside, we decided to go to KU DE TA, Bangkok and were overwhelmed with the club and their staff.

The rude white guy then said we couldn't go in because the guys in the group were wearing Tshirt Mind you, the white guy who went in earlier with his girlfriend was ALSO wearing a Tshirt. We tried to point this out but were asked to leave. Shocked to see this kind of open bias and racist, employing a white guy to racially profile people at the entrance.

I'll explain each incident. 1st Time Went with 2 girls. Spanish and Indian. Got in without any problems. 2nd Time About 4 friends all guys. They turned us down. 3rd Time 2 guys and 2 girlsfarangs. Got in after a long long discussion. Me and the other 2 guys went around 11.30 and the 2 girls were already in the club with some more friends celebrating a birthday. The bouncers said we need to have a reservation to go in when we said the name of our friends, the woman there just glanced at the book and said ""No reservation"" and turned us away. So we called our friends then we asked now can we go to which the guard replied saying ""I don't believe you"". We explained the situation to another one and he was okay with us and asked for passports. We showed the soft copies we had in our phones and they replied that won't do and said we need to have a paper copy of it. Luckily we had our Driver's license from back home and they allowed us to go in finally!

There were live ""dancers"" who stood on stage waving glow sticks around halfheartedly, hardly what i'd call live entertainment which is what the club uses as a selling point. I did go back a few days later as it's the nearest large club to my hotel and I didn't feel like going far that night, however this time I was not allowed in, bouncer claimed it was ""reservations only"", yet I could see they let white people and locals in without asking for reservation at all!

Not sure why other people are writing rave reviews about this place...cause i talked to a few people who were coming out from the place white skinned Caucasian and pretty much all of them had to say its ""PRETTY LAME"".

In addition, for people to say the workers at the door are racist is a pretty serious accusation which made us even more hesitant .... BUT we heard it was a beautiful church turned club and though, What do we really have to lose HAha we even started to make other plans while in the taxi asking about other nearby bars.We arrived 15 minutes after opening and walked right in. No issues there. You do have to pay a 20 cover charge which I thought was ridiculous. Their is a coat check for 2 euro which I loved since it was a cold night but I obviously still wanted to wear a dress. Drinks were approximately 1518 but were nice and strong. A all night restroom pass is 3 or .50 cents each time. I for one have a small bladder so 3 euros it was. At 11am the place was basically dead but we really had a chance to appreciate the lighting, architecture, etc. The club started to pick up at 12:30am and thats when the party really got started. Music ranged from EDM to some 90s throwbacks which we went nuts for!

I called up the office immediately to enquire about this, but they advised that you normally would not need a reservation to get inside, but it's totally the guards discretion, otherwise. A similar group of Asians little behind us also denied the entry, even though the Europeans/ people with fair complexion were allowed in. Unprofessional attitude from the club/guards.

We spent in excess of over 1500 only to find that the doormen stole our driving licences upon entry they scanned them for ID purposes but never returned them.Initially I thought this was an innocent mistake and contacted the club via email. I received no response via email so followed up with a call. During the phone call I was offered no apology which would be the professional thing to do upon the news of an initial complaint. I was then told I would receive a call back which I did not so I followed up with another call. I was told they cannot find the licences so someone will contact me via email. I was contacted by James Spallone managing director. Well James is an interesting chap. He insinuated 1500 is not a lot of money to spend in 2 hours 200 per person and even suggested I had no reason for complaint as the bill was paid for by one individual who was not me as if I spent no money so shouldnt complain that sensitive documents have been stolen by their door staff. I couldnt quite believe the tone I was faced with. He then sent me another email claiming to have checked the cctv and found the licences were handed back to us. Ok, if this is the case, but he then followed up with another email which completely contradicted this and asked me to provide a description of the door staff so he can find out if anyone is stealing them well if the cctv shows they were returned then why would you need these details When I was unable to provide a facial description of the doormen he then claimed that I obviously cannot remember whether they were returned. Obviously if James has checked the CCTV as claimed then he should also have an accurate description of who they were handed to and therefore not require one from me or my guests. I suspect there could be a potential issue of fraud and would strongly advise anyone against visiting this venue. I now see why they have had such bad press in the past arent they also known as the RACIST club Well they can now add THIEVES to their resume and I will be notifying the police." +Attraction,Date of experience: July 2017,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,unknown,Racist and Rude ,Overall vibe was not very chill.

I booked a guestlist group for 10 girls and 1 boy my boyfriend for my 21st birthday 2 weeks in advance and was told we could come up till midnight and the girls would get in for free confirmed twice on the phone on the day. Upon arrival we were told all the girls had to pay 10. So we all walked to the cash machine and then went back, to then be told that all the girls could go in but my boyfriend who is black, was not allowed due to the fact no more men were allowed in. So the decision was made none of us would go in as it was my 21st birthday ruined for no apparent reason by a scouse girl on the door. Her responses were almost robotic when I asked why with her saying ""I can't do that"" every time. Whilst we watched her let in other men, so evidently they were still being allowed in. As we stood on the street then deciding what to do the manager came out and spoke to us to ask what was going on/why we were still standing there. I was very upset by this point. Once I explained the situation he said he saw absolutely no reason as to why we were told my boyfriend could not come in and apologised profusely. So I can only assume the dreadful scouse girl on the door looked at my boyfriend and made a judgement due to what she could see, his physical appearance, perhaps ethnicity, that he was not coming in. By this point I was so angry and upset that my 21st birthday was totally ruined and we had to go elsewhere. This club is racist, sexist and senseless.

This club is racist, they choose who to let in at the door based on your face and skin colour. Ladies you could be wearing the most expensive heels on and the sexist dress, if your face doesn't cut it ... you won't get in and they make that quite clear at the door. This is regardless if you're on the guest list and promised to get in by a promoter. First occasion they just didn't let me and my girls in after waiting over an hour in about three different queues even though we were on the guest list. Me and my girls were looking glam and classy but I guess our Asian looks didn't cut it for the people at the door. We were simply told a ""no way you're not getting in"". We thought nothing of of it and just left Had s great night at dstrkt instead which I highly recommendThe second night trying to get in was yesterday. The promoter confirmed we were exclusively in his guest list! And to make sure we weren't double booked at any other club and promised an entry. Again waiting in the queue for over an hour ps there's an ""ugly queue"" on the opposite side of the road, so if you're ugly sadly you get asked to stand on the other side of the road . The only people in the actual queue getting in, were white blonde girls. The promoter kept promising us that we will get in and he battled our way to the main queue fighting with other promotors. When it was finally got our turn to get in, she again decided that we were to ugly clearly our skin colour wasn't to her fancy and told us we ain't coming in regardless. We waiting roughly an hour and half to once again get rejected for no reason. At this point I was fuming. It was absolutely absurd, we have never ever been treated like this before, even in clubs that are more high end then libertine. After I raised my voice calling the club racist and threatening to complain, the promoter spoke to the manager who finally let us obviously with a 20 pound entry. Pretty sure it's free if you're white and blonde. Now after the battle of getting in, it was difficult to have a good time, it was a very basic basic club, I honestly do not understand what the hype is about, overly packed with girls, hardly any room to breathe let alone dance, the venue itself was basic. Please do not come here. This club is such a waste of time. Dear people at the door. You're all a bunch of puppets, specially the lady at the door. You're rude. In fact you're very rude. You whispered to the promoter that were ugly, we heard you. You're pretty bad looking yourself. Dear libertine, honestly you need to calm the hype. You're club isn't all that at all.

Non of us were drunk or rude either. I was even told my faux fur scarf was too hippy JUST WEIRD and that it was because we were wearing coats Eventually I just asked the promoter who was black if it was because we were a group of black/mixed raced women and he admitted that 'Yes, this is probably the reason' and that he himself as a black man would be turned away at the door!I suggest you don't play any RnB and Hip Hop or music of any black origin in your club.

Turned around to see that my husband, brother in law and friend were all told to step out of the queue. They were all refused entry. No reasons were given, because they had a disclaimer sign and all the security staff did was point to the sign that said management reserve the right to refuse entry and no reason is needed to be given! Having observed what then followed, it was clear that racial profiling was the decision maker here. Numerous other guests, of ethnic backgrounds were turned away. When we challenged security, they stuck by their disclaimer, though one did say to me ""I know the reason, but if I told you I would lose my job"". That clearly is confirmation that the racial profiling exists and that my husband et al were refused entry because of their ethnicity. To add to this ignorant and discriminating behaviour, another security staff then said that we can come back Monday, suggesting Monday was the day that ethnic minorities were allowed!

Scanned the tickets stamped us all nd then when we got to the front Security let me and my white friend in without any trouble but refused my black friend entry ! they said because he was wearing trainers when the club was flooded with white boys in cheap sports brand clothes. Vans trainers and hoodies everywhere. We said to him this is clearly racism if we were in london you ould lose your job. He simply replied with 'Your in Leeds' as if the law doesnt apply to the whole country and its ok to be racist outside of london.

We were told we would get guest list entry and VIP which we didn't get when we eventually got inside. We joined the guest list que to find the normal que getting in before us and girls skipping the que completely whilst the bouncer stood with his back to us. When we asked why this was happening the bouncer was rude towards my boyfriend and said we could leave if he carried on. We stood and waited to then be told our 2 Indian friends couldn't come in! They were causing no trouble so we asked why and the bouncer turned his back to us again and carried on letting girls in. The 2 Indian lads left and we all then got in to the club. The lads were causing no trouble but werent aloud in the bouncers were rude sexist and racist towards us and our friends. The reception staff were rude saying we weren't on any guest list and refused VIP although we had arranged this before.

A total misogyny.. He though he could get away with it because he called us names in a foreign language and then refused to reply to our complaint. This shows that, in fact, he is just a little, sad man in a big body. No pride, no manners, no decorum! A coward! I hope he reads it one day and reflects on his behaviour. Having said that putting two words together might prove to much of a challenge to him. Great customer service sarcasm!! Unbelievable, I'm still shocked and upset.

Valet parking was half of the brunch price. They should have free valet parking with restaurant stamped at least We supposed to reach at the bar 1:20 but we ended up coming in 2:30, we spent more than an hour to get a parking.The table was prebooked but they gave us table beside the kitchen wherein the smoke from the kitchen was coming from our head. we requested from lady crew to shift table as we can see some available but she said it was all booked, really almost 3pm already who will come for brunch after 3 where there brunch serves only until 4pm we dont have any option as we already paid before coming in and show us the table. when one male crew served the food, we again ask to shift the table, the guy was very nice to shift the table at the center. Thanks God so whats wrong with the lady crew because were asians they are racists indeed.Food was not so great but because we dont want to spoil our friday we managed to enjoy ourselves by drinking at least, drinks are fine wouldnt complain on that.Music was also good but since we are on the second level so we didnt see all the live performers and all.Overall it was not a very good Friday Brunch." +Attraction,Date of experience: October 2018,Middle East,United Arab Emirates,Emirate of Dubai,unknown,Racial Bar,"Well, we went to LSB yesterday for a couple of drinks. The security guy said that we would need reservations to go in. We called for reservations and the lady said that you only need reservation if the group is of more than 6 people. We went back to the security and asked him if there is actually any reason he is not ok with us to enter. I guess he could not find any reason and said it's okay. The place is really nice with awesome beer and nice decor. They also have live music. However I couldn't find any asian person inside.

Not once, not twice but thrice he talk to us in a rude way. We never do reservation since the first time we came to LSB but last month he did not let us enter the bar because we dont have reservation and it was fully booked he told us. Since we really like LSB we said its fine with us to just stand since we are only two that time and he said not allowed. It was fine with us because hes just doing his job but the way he talked to us was really unacceptable. He was very rude and embarassed us to other people downstairs just because we dont have reservation.

Scary!!! No tourist or visitor wants to experience this. The bouncers are Africans and out of this world. would never consider going to this place. the bouncers in question are photographed and ready for questioning. Also few ""Africans"" were not allowed entrance cause of their dress code. but the exact same dress code was worn by ""Eurpoeans"" and they weren't asked questions. makes me want to rethink of slavery and resident rights.

I became an even bigger fan of the JBR branch as it's more spacious and has a great outdoor area. You can avail some offers on food and drinks using The Entertainer too. Music is always enjoyable whether it's the set list or the live bands. Recently tried the Friday bunch which was not as much of a foodie brunch as the Tecom one was so that was slightly disappointing. Have also heard some comments about racism at the door which would be sad if true. +Attraction,Date of experience: March 2018,Middle East,United Arab Emirates,Emirate of Dubai,unknown,Night out ruined due to blatantly racist behavior at the door by staff,"Post brunch we went to visit Lock Stock in JBR. However, half of our group was stopped at the door, all white people in our group were allowed to enter despite being drunk. While our 3 Asian female friends were stopped, and immediately told that they would not be allowed to enter, because they were too drunk however the others that were also drunk were not stopped and could enter simply because they are whiteOur night has been ruined because of this blatantly racist act by the door manager. While having lived in Dubai for 4 years I have never encountered a bouncer manhandling women... there was absolutely no reason for this behavior as they did nothing wrong and we were simply going to leave if given a proper justification.Im never visiting any branch of Lock stock and barrel and will tell everyone I know that acts of racism are condoned at lock stock and barrel" +Attraction,Date of experience: March 2018,Middle East,United Arab Emirates,Emirate of Dubai,unknown,Extremely racist experience!,"We were a mixed group of people. All the white people were allowed entry and the only three coloured people in the group were stopped. We were three Asian women. And were blatantly denied entry for being too drunk which is a strange because the white people with us didnt seem drunk to them at all, although they were and they had come from a brunch and brunch after party.This resulted in a massive argument leading to the bouncers aggressively pushing us away from the bars entrance and threatened to have police called on us. All of this because we told them they were being racist to deny us entry. Its never ok to be racist let alone physically push women." +Attraction,Date of experience: March 2018,Middle East,United Arab Emirates,Emirate of Dubai,unknown,Security staff physically pushes women out,"I have to say with utter disappointed that this was the most racist experience of my life. I have lived in Dubai for four years and have never come across anything like this. Last night, we were in a group so some of our white friends had already entered. We tried to enter as three Asian women and four white men. The men were allowed entry while the women were stopped because we looked too drunk. This is ridiculous because there were people in our group who were definitely a lot drunker but were allowed entry but they were white. We tried to reason with the staff as we felt this might be a racist decision and we wouldnt quietly walk away if someone is simply basing their decision on someones skin colour. There was also a man from the bar possibly a manager or a supervisor who very rudely told us we were simply not allowed in and his decision was made and where did we think we were going I asked him to tell us exactly why he thought we were too drunk and others werent, to which he replied let me call the police and they can tell you that. We told them to call the police but by this point in the argument, the bouncers had already grabbed hold of two of the women in our group and physically were pushing them out in hotel lobby to remove us from the entrance. When our male friends tried to intervene, they were grabbed and shoved out even harder. When i asked the bouncer are you going to manhandle women He responded with a simple yes. As this all occurred in the hotel lobby, hopefully theres a cc tv recording from the hotel to prove it, if the management is interested to view this. Needless to say, this was beyond acceptable and I would advise people with ethics to boycott this place as its racist, sexist and physically assaults women." +Attraction,Date of experience: January 2019,Asia,China,Shanghai Region,unknown,Kiza,"DO NOT GO TO THIS BAR IF YOU ARE FOREIGN!

They should learn to be more human and not to be so racist! +Attraction,Date of experience: August 2016,Europe,Germany,Berlin,unknown,Racist!,"They keep you out only because You are tourist. They are just racist. Unless you speak German , or don't even bother it.We are 5 people group with girl. We speak different language, we tried to get in by speaking French , but it didn't work. Another group behind us are British , and of cause they got banned as wellSo for god sakes, someone give this club Lesson." +Attraction,Date of experience: July 2015,Europe,Germany,Berlin,unknown,Don't even bother,"In a city with so many other clubs to choose from, you shouldn't even give this one a second thought if you're a tourist. The racist door policy means that tourists especially English would be very lucky to make it through the door and pay the 10 Euro entrance fee, overpriced compared to others in the area, and the bouncers are among the worst I've come across. Twice we were told by smokers outside the club that it was empty, and that it wasn't really as lively as they had hoped, but both times we were turned away because the club was 'full'. Try Matrix instead, it's just down the road, cheaper and has a much better atmosphere if you just want to party." +Attraction,Date of experience: August 2014,Europe,Germany,Berlin,unknown,Bouncer was racist !,"My friend and i arrived at the club, the bouncer took one look at us and said no i dont want your kind in my club. At first i thought i misunderstood him but he repeated the same sentence again right at us. We demanded to speak to the owner but the bouncer looked like he was about to get physical so we left. I never would have expected to receive such treatment in a beautiful and vibrant city, such a shame this bouncer and club let down this city !" +Attraction,Date of experience: January 2017,Europe,Czech Republic,Bohemia,unknown,RACIST CLUB DO NOT GO THERE.,"I write on behalf of my clients who I accompanied on 1 night out at the FANCY LOUNGE in Prague, First of all I must say It's hilarious how this club gets reviewed as one the best Rnb/hip hop clubs in Prague are DISGUSTINGLY racist by bar staff and door staff. Bar staff including a racist Chinese man, refused to serve us, we found this laughable as he of all people should know how it feels to be at the hands of racists, he was completely ignoring us served others who had come to bar after us, deliberately made us wait then he was extremely rude when he did decide to serve us, had a face like thunder at all times, at 1 point he even sent someone else to serve us even though he was doing absolutely nothing just because he didn't want to, when he had no choice but to serve us, he had the cheek to wait around for a tip which we would of happily given, had he been polite to us, like we were to him but instead he treated us as though we did something wrong clearly he did all of the above because we were black. We are nice people, we caused no trouble at all, we drank all night when we eventually got served we danced all night, socialised met some great people but when the 2 guys went back the following night the bouncers made them wait outside for ages well over an hour in the freezing cold minus centigrade for no reason gave them no reason as to why, just left them there waiting, kept snarling at them trying to intimidate them by being rude and telling them to move out the way to let others in simply again acted towards them in this way because they were black. After waiting around for so long realising the bouncers were not going to let them in they then went on to have a great night elsewhere with no discrimination, may I also add at this point the said 2 guys are hard working, law abiding citizens who are two famous music producers from London New York 1 was even recognised by a Prague local who told the bouncer of his status who simply just wanted a tourist night out were looking at a possible after party venue hire for a festival coming up in August. Big mistake fancy lounge, you play black music but do not like black people, that is very bizarre. And as for the manager/owner don't bother writing back that your club is not racist because CLEARLY IS as we experienced first hand, YOU may not be but your staff are. I suggest you have a staff meeting about your club discrimination policy and how to be polite and courteous to the general public despite what colour they are and most importantly CUSTOMER CARE and address the issue with them instead, hopefully they will understand that everybody is the same regardless of colour and may I also point out that using the term 'coloured' as a reference to black people or anyone of colour is not politically correct, this could also be classed as a racist remark, just thought I'd point that out to you as you used it in response to one of your other reviews claiming your club was RACIST. I hope that you will not take this lightly and as respectable business man wanting the the best for his business and reputation sort this occurring problem out. I have written this with the deepest regret as I would of loved to write a good review but instead I write it with the regret of ever stepping foot into your club, spending my money in there sending my clients there.What a degrading experience." +Attraction,Date of experience: October 2016,Europe,Czech Republic,Bohemia,unknown,Racist venue racist staff,"Place to avoid if you're a colour people, we went there to enjoy ourselves but been waiting forever to be served by the barmen most of the time but he never came to us, after being frustrated trying to leave the premise, security guard who suppose to avoid any harm was punching us and we even had a swollen mouth ......... racist venue , racist staff .

Then this show is for you!,"The humor was unacceptable and unoriginal. Pure shock value, no thought went into to. Same boring blatantly racist jokes youve heard since the 1980s. All the athletes were amazing and very talented, it was a joy to see them perform up close.Go see Zumanity instead, theres no racial slurs in it and it is very fun!" +Attraction,Date of experience: February 2019,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Amazingly funny!,"I had never heard of the show called Absinthe. I was in Las Vegas for business. My boss had purchased tickets to this amazing show for us. We were 4 rows back from the very intimate stage area. This is a very small and intimate venue. The comedy is not for the pure of heart. It was crude, racist, sexual, perverted...... but it was HILARIOUS! The acrobatics were extremely physical also. I had tears streaming down my face and pain from laughing sooo much! This is one to remember!" +Attraction,Date of experience: February 2019,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Not the best show in Vegas,"The show is in a tent and the seating is uncomfortable and crowded. The acrobats and dancers were great, but the ""comedy"" part was NOT FUNNY at all. It was very vulgar, racist, and offensive. Overpriced. Definitely I would not recommend it to anyone. " +Attraction,Date of experience: January 2019,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,"Sassy, Saucy, and Spectacular","No spoilers We visit Vegas quarterly to learn about and review attractions, hotels and restaurants so we can best advise as Destination Specialists. In over 22 years I have seen a tremendous amount of shows. In Vegas, this is the funniest we have ever seen. We laughed so hard our stomachs actually hurt. Take the warnings seriously. This show is definitely NOT for everyone. If you get offended, absolutely go see something else. Not for children or those who are interested in hearing things that are politically correct. You will find everything from racy to racist. This show is epically sassy. Found in a very unique setting, an actual circus tent in front of Caesars Palace. You pick up your tickets out front, and this show is generally sold out. If you want to see it, plan ahead. If you want great seats, this is the show to splurge on. If you sit in the front 3 rows, you can plan on being involved, made fun of, and probably peeing your pants with laughter. While the ringmaster and his assistant are super entertaining and hilarious comediansthe acts that this show is comprised of are some of the most amazing things you will ever see in person. Since the venue is not huge, the seats are all decent, but closer is better, and will give you an experience you will never forget. These gymnasts, acrobats, dancers, skaters and entertainers are all amazing athletes. All their acts are truly jaw dropping, and you will look at your neighbor over and over and say How is this possible! How can they do that! Did you see that!! The amount of strength talent these men and women have is just incredible. I want to thank them all for giving us an amazing evening of entertainment.The downsides you ask The drinks are expensive, and the seats are put in very close together. It really gives you the feel of an old school traveling circus. We thought it was pretty cool the way they have it set up. Obviously, people that are easily offended will feel like they wasted their money. The gentleman next to us left within a few minutes. It appeared the majority of the audience stayed and had a wonderful time. Again, use your personal discretion by educating yourself about what you are going to see, so you dont chose something and regret the decision. Dont read about this, attend it, get offended and give them a bad review. They are very upfront in letting people know this show has offensive content. Go see one of the neutral Cirque shows if you arent sure you can handle this one.This show isnt cheap for a reason. Simply, its worth it. Spiegelworld has a huge gem here. This show is epic, and for those who can handle it, you will have an amazing evening at Absinthe. Whatever you choose to do in Las Vegas, we hope you have a wonderful time!" +Attraction,Date of experience: January 2019,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Ruthlessly vulgar and amazing acts,"I had already seen Opium and loved it, so I had a a general idea of what we were in for. The two shows are very similar in format though this one has no storyline to speak of, which is fine. The acts are all jawdropping. Amazing acrobats and feats of strength and so on. Especially loved the bathtub act and the rollerskating finale. They are all acrobatic/dance in nature though with the exception of a single and hilarious comedy routine. I would've liked a little more variety, but that's where Opium excels instead.The humor is aggressively and ruthlessly vulgar. As vulgar as humanly possible. And yes, occasionally racist in nature. You will be offended at some point. And, fun fact, check out the 1 star reviews to see the people who are no fun and hate life. If you think you might be offended, go see one of the wordless Cirque shows instead to preserve your delicate sensibilities.However, skip the bar. The drinks are ludicrously expensive 20 for a single well drink and just not worth it." +Attraction,Date of experience: January 2019,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Amazing feats of humanity with bad taste on the side,"If you think your going to this show to have your mind blown by daring acts of amazingly talented gymnasts and acrobats youd be half right. While most of the acts are incredibly mouth droppingly entertaining and worth the cost of admission on its own, the hosts of the show, a crass ring bearer and his unfunny side kick, distracted with their classless jokes about gay, black, Hispanic and Asian people who were sitting right in the audience. While I like to think of myself as having a good sense of humor, I dont believe there is any venue which makes this ok. The fact the theatre was filled with 95 white people seemed to make this extra perverse. On another note. There needs to be stronger warnings for this show. Not just 18 and that its performance art ... Do not sit in the first few rows, Unless you like torturous, unrelenting, jabs thrown at you all night. Do not attend if you dont want to hear very descriptively graphic sexual stories. And of course do not attend if you dont like racist jokes. While this show at its core was fantastic, the rest of the crap just stole from it. Someone needs to tell the show producers that you can be funny and entertaining without being a jerk." +Attraction,Date of experience: November 2018,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,SO MUCH FUN!!,"Absinthe is just a superfun show! The seating is all very close to the action, so no matter where you sit, you'll have a great view. A lot of people call the show ""crude"". I think it's just good adult fun. If you can't handle some adult jokes and possibly being picked on in front of the audience, then don't go. I read a lot of comments that said the show was ""racist"". For the show I went to, the people that got picked on the most were racist Trump supporters, so I think calling the show racist is just ridiculous. And that's a warning to Trump supporters......leave your MAGA hat at home, or better yet, don't go to Vegas EVER." +Attraction,Date of experience: January 2019,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,One of my new favorite Vegas shows,"I want to preface this by saying that if you are going strictly for the talent aspect, this is not the show for you. I didn't know what I was going to see when my friends got us the tickets, so I was a bit shocked at the jokes. I still thought they were hilarious, but do not go here for a family outing. If you do go as a family outing and you sit in the first 3 rows, you could potentially be the butt of a joke....which everyone will laugh at. Do not go if racist, homophobic, sexual, or political jokes get you upset. Also, don't be the middle aged guy who takes your daughter, because boy are you in for an awkward time.This is amazing talent with a lot of crude humor mixed in. I thought the talent was great and they all performed well. The hosts provide comedic relief between the acts and the jokes get super raunchy. I'm in my mid30s and I thought the jokes were funny, but I could see where someone older or more serious may not appreciate the humor. My only complaint about the show is the venue. We were crammed in like sardines on metal barstools. I was fortunate enough to have a seat with padding but the other 3 folks I was with all sat on metal barstools. That's a long time to be that uncomfortable and right on top of your neighbor. It helps give everyone a great view of the acts but it's a bit too crowded for my taste. There is an outdoor bar and seating area. It was raining when we attended so we went right in and sat down in the tent." +Attraction,Date of experience: December 2018,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,CRUDE,"Was here for the New Year's Eve show. While advertised as unapologetically crude, it went way beyond that in my opinion. My wife actually enjoyed it but I thought the show depended way to much on being crude and raunchy. Older folks seemed REALLY uncomfortable in the audience. FIVE middleaged men and women in the front row actually left after the host kept picking on totally crude and in my opinion racist comments to one of the the women! This might be OK for some but buyer beware." +Attraction,Date of experience: December 2018,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Its not for everyone ,"The performers are truly talented. The comedy by the MC and his sidekick assistant is meant to be shocking, raunchy, and totally inappropriate politically, racially, sexually so expect it and dont be offended as its part of the show/act. The ticket prices are expensive, paid with fees etc included about 150/tix and was in the 4th row or so back just behind the VIP section. The view is fine wherever you are because its a small venue. Try to get a seat near and aisle as you are packed in very closely. VIP seats have a cushion on them and are close to the stage but are also in the splash zone for one of the acts. I enjoyed the show and would recommend seeing it. " +Attraction,Date of experience: December 2018,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,"Great acrobats; humor is shocking, not always in a good way","The acrobatic/dance acts are all wonderful, innovative, and interesting. The humor...well, it's often that kind of humor that is trying to be ironic in how racist/sexist/offensive it can be. Hey, don't get me wrongsome shock humor can be a welldone slap on the funny bone. But this...too often it was just not quite clever enough to transcend being just gross and shocking. Oh, and the seats are folding chairs that are not only uncomfortable, they are smashed so tightly together that your legs will be smushed against the person next to you. Overall, I think the show is a little overpriced." +Attraction,Date of experience: November 2018,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Unexpected Excellence!!!,This show is in a category all by itself!!! Hillarious with unbelievable acts under the big top tent. Every seat is a good seat. If you are a large person ask to sit in the back row. The acts performed will blow your mind!!!! A must see in Vegas. If you are a millennial you will have to take off your sensitivity sheild. The comedy includes racial comments that could cause tears for you. For everyone else tears from laughing so hard. I've been to over 40 shows in Vegas and this show is in my top 5!!! +Attraction,Date of experience: December 2018,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Wow WOW WOW,"Paid about 90 for tickets each, just on a recommendation from a friend. Honestly by far the best thing we have seen in Vegas so far! Dont think , just book the tickets. Set up inside a tent at the front of caesars palace it is a relatively small venue. Be prepared to be sat very close to whoever is next to you, it does get a bit warm too in there. The show, well, what to say, hilarious made us laugh until we cried. And the performances were breath taking. My husband loved the roller skaters. I liked the acrobat in the bath ONE NOTE do not go if you are easily offended by racist jokes, sometimes political jokes and a lot of vulgar language.

No questions askedobviously it must be a common request." +Attraction,Date of experience: November 2018,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,"Lazy, racist MCs destroy amazing show","The acrobatic acts are truly amazing. Its a small venue so even in our second to last row, it was incredible to see what the performers could do. That said, it saddened me to no end that the host and his sidekick were racist, sexist, homophobes. I dont mind sexy, raunchy jokes. I dont mind political jokes. What I do mind is racist jokes. Why do you have to pick out the one Asian lady and make a joke about her doing nails all day, or the one black guy about how big his penis is Its not funny. Its isolating. And, Its cruel! Given the level of talent in the room, you could do some much better. By debasing yourself to this kind of humor, you demonstrate a wanton lack of respect and quite frankly shows that you are too lazy to actually think of funny jokes. Do better!" +Attraction,Date of experience: November 2018,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Amazing acrobatics,"This is the second time I have seen the show, as a former acrobat/gymnast I found this show so much more impressive that ALL of the Cirque shows that I have seen in the past. They do not rely on popular music or lighting, just amazing feats of athleticism. The commentary is way more vulgar and racist than I remember. I realize they are trying to be funny, and its Vegas but I will not see the show again. Only the small minded find racist jokes funny." +Attraction,Date of experience: November 2018,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Extremely inappropriate and extremely fun,"If the possibility of being offended exists in you anywhere, do not watch this show. The hosts are extreeemely offensive. Racial, political and sexual comedy are all on the menu. I find this humour hilarious, but if you do not, it is so pervasive it can put some people off, as you can see in other comments. The acts are phenomenal. I noticed at least one from Americas got talent. The kind that were amazing. There isnt a bad seat in the house so not necessary to overpay for the good seats unless you want to become a victim of some of the aforementioned extreeeeemely inappropriate humour. I found this to be one of the better shows Ive seen in Vegas. It certainly isnt your old school cirque de Soleil. " +Attraction,Date of experience: August 2018,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,"Great Show, Not for the Easily Offended","If you are incapable of laughing at yourself, appreciating irony, or letting loose with unbridled satire, do not attend this show. For everybody else, I think you're going to have a great time. I know I did. The acts were phenomenal and the interplay between the cast of the show and the audience was some of the funniest stuff that I have experienced in recent memory. Be warned that there will be racial jokes, sexual orientation jokes, political jokes, and jokes about almost anything a person could possibly imagine. No one is spared.The seats are wooden chairs and as such can be very uncomfortable for somebody who is used to padded seating. this is my one and only complaint about this show. I am looking forward to seeing Absinthe again and checking out some of the other shows put on by the same production company." +Attraction,Date of experience: October 2018,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Two Negative Things That Should Not Put You Off Such a Great Show,"First of all, the performers are AMAZING. The show is in a round, so everyone can see everything, and everyone is close. It's spectacular. The tickets are pricey normal for Vegas, honestly and my husband and I would have happily paid more.Now, the two negative points which should not dissuade you from attending you should be aware of: 1 The seats are essentially folding chairs that are ziptied together. You will be pretty much on top of your neighbour. There is no leg room. The show is amazing enough that you stop noticing, but if you're claustrophobic, aim for an aisle seat.2 The performers are, again, breathtaking and hilarious. The MC's are not. Their ""humour"" ranges from extreme sextalk meant to be shocking, I'm sure, but really just limpingly funny to straight up racist/ homophobic. Stereotypical comments about audience members' race and possible sexualorientation were the backbone of this humour; racist comments were also directed at the performers themselves. Now, before you call me a fragile snowflake, the humour is STALE. SO LAME. It's supposed to be shocking, I'm sure, but it's disappointing. The MC cracked a joke about the last two performers, who happened to be AfricanAmerican, by saying, ""That ends our AffirmativeAction portion of the show."" AffirmativeActions Are you kidding me! Is it 1992 and Andrew Dice Clay is writing the script! The performers deserve a standard of humour that matches their talent. It's embarrassing." +Attraction,Date of experience: October 2018,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,"Raunchy, funny and a lot of talent","We bought tickets that put us in the second row. From the start the show has you in awe of some of the stunts and performances they do. Some of the raunch was a little over the top I enjoyed it Some of the jokes were a little too political or racial for me. It would have been funny for one part of the act, but they pointed out the same audience members over and over throughout the show, making jokes about their race or sexual orientation. They may have been on it for all I know. At one point we had to put a plastic sheet up because we were in the splash zone. It smelt like vomit, which was distracting from the show. The talent was amazing and the green absinthe drink was good. " +Attraction,Date of experience: August 2018,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,average show,"This show is very middle of the road for me. Some great performers peppered with some extremely average ones. I've seen the show multiple times, and it seems to just depend what night you catch it. I found the comedy from the hosts far too juvenile and borderline racist considering the current political climate in this country." +Attraction,Date of experience: September 2018,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Fun and different show,"Not your typical show in a theatre setting, this is in a tent. Its very small tent with a center stage and seating all around the stage.We showed up with about 15 minutes before the next show and bargained for second row seats for 5 tickets. I would avoid the first row since there is crowd interaction.There about 10 acts with lasting about 510 minutes each. The acts are clean with no nudity but the language during the show is comedic vulgar and sexuality so be prepared for very offensive comments.Its a great show if you want to laugh from vulgar, racial, and sexual jokes and comments." +Attraction,Date of experience: September 2018,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Vile comedy but outstanding acts,"We knew well ahead of going that this show was an equal opportunity offender. What we werent told was how extremely graphic and vile the comedy was. Its really too bad that the graphic sexual description done by Wanda was part of the show and that the owner considers her entertainment because without her performance, we could have given this show five stars. We understood that there would be racial and sexual and politically offensive jokes but never have we heard such a sickening sexual rant.BUT, the other acts were totally amazing. We were luckily promoted to the front row where we were treated to the best acrobatic and tap dance acts up close. We loved the acrobatic acts so much but wish Absinthe was not so filled with the filth and sickening monologue by assistant, Wanda." +Attraction,Date of experience: August 2018,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,"Extremely funny, entertaining and inappropriate!","I have been to Vegas multiple times and seen a variety of shows. this time we were looking for something different from the typical cirque shows. Im sometimes sceptical about going to shows because the people selling them try to hype them up just to get a sale in but this show is 110 worth the 120 ticket. We sat three rows from the back and honestly, the venue which is a circus tent is a great size. No matter where you sit, youll have a great view. The actors/ performers were hilarious and very, very talented! This show is definitely not for anyone who is offended easily as they do use racial and sexual jokes and of swearing. We were laughing so hard the entire time! The only thing I think they could improve on is separating the chairs more. Ive never been more uncomfortable sitting at a show before. I had to basically sit sideways as there wasnt enough room to have my arms comfortably beside me. Luckily we had kind people beside us who didnt mind getting close with strangers. All in all, if youre considering this show, definitely do it if youre looking for a really good laugh." +Attraction,Date of experience: June 2018,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Absinthe: Cheap Racial Humor Severely Compromises an OtherwiseVirtuoso Show,"This is an amazing, truly unique show, extremely wellproduced and directed, with unbelievably talented acrobatics and top notch actors/comedians in the main roles of smarmy carnival ringleader and his lowerstatus, dimwitted right hand woman. The semiimprovised humor of those two brings European clowning into this century, drives the show's energy, and is the cohesion between deathdefying acts makes transitions nonexistent so the show run at an absolutely nonstop, breakneck pace.The humor of those two is part parody, part absurdism, part supersuperdirty no problem there it works comedically and is ironically ""appropriate"" for the context of this Vegas show... but then it is also part heavily racial.The main actor's audience interaction revolves largely around naming people's races and the wellknown stereotypes thereof. They actors scream out the stereotypes as if being politically incorrect is funny for it's own sake. It is inyourface brashness that plows through the sense one is ""not supposed to say such things"" so incredibly forcefully, and it appears to bend the audience's will unto submission. It taps into a baser level of groupthink catharsis. Uprourias laughter ensues.Here's the problem. Minority individuals selected by the actor from the audience are put in the terrible position of either going along with it one selected audience member's mimed response as he was pulled onto stage indicated, ""Yup, go ahead and say it, it's true, I am black and haha yup I know the stereotypes about my youknowwhat being big etc etc hahaha."" or, alternatively, to defy the onstage actor running the show authority role in addition to a hugely revved up audience that has been whipped into a frenzy of ""hilarity."" Putting that onus on the individual takes away their right to to exist as an individual who's not being labeled and thought of in terms of their race. This is a grave infringement on privacy, to say the least. It's a dirty trick, engineered to elicit huge laughs from the audience, which leaves the individual with almost no option to protest. The ""volunteered"" individuals are often unable to even consider protesting this ""comedic"" conceit. They are swept into the attention of being a momentary celebrity, even if a compromised one. The only alternative would be to quickly! build up the strength to publicly act in defiance of the entire audience.The show's directors, producers, and actors need to change this. It is a seriously cheap laugh if ever I saw one. The cheapest, easiest, dirtiest laugh. They're capable of so much more. The two main actors who also strip down and do an incredibly funny parody of the physical acts that compose most of the showtime are young, vibrant, dynamic, creative and top notch in their talent acting, comedy, clowning. They must let go of this crutch they could so easily find less cheap humor to swap in. They're brilliant.I don't mean a raucous, boundarybreaking show needs to be super careful to protect individual highlighted audience members and walk on eggshells like they can't handle some teasing. Rather, I mean that the comedic conceit of this particular teasing calling out their race and the stereotypes thereof just for its own sake is way, way, way too grave an infringement on those individuals, when you take a step back and consider the consequences of that line of thinking and how it has evolved in such relatively recent years and persists today.I'm not calling the show racist. ""Racism"" falls along a nonbinary spectrum and I would hazard to guess these white actors are dynamic and openminded in general, with the ability to assess individuals as individuals much more astutely than the kinds of people one would typically label as ""racist"" and quite possible even much better than average not that average is such a high bar, IMO. However, by participating in this semiscripted show as they do, the actors and the entire production demonstrates a outright lack of sensitivity that falls far below the bar as to where public outlets/institutions must stand in this day and age.OTOH, many or most believe stereotypes are funny because they are somewhat true. Therefore, the comedic conceit at hand is not an excercise in laughing at the inanity of stereotypes. Even if there is some factual albeit not usually empirically evaluated reality that would support the claims of a stereotype, stereotypes are not meant to be constructive or helpful, especially to the group being stereotyped. If you don't think stereotypes have an inherent problematic and hurtful side to them, I'm afraid I don't have the space here to change your mind.In principle, it is these two doofus characters who are being insensitive and obtuse, not the actors or show itself. However, that is far from crystal clear it doesn't scan that way most of the time. The lines are heavily blurred, partly because the characters are directly interacting with the audience. The main guy interacts with the audience just like any other comedian, even if a bit more ""in character"" than your normal standup. As an audience member, you are complicit, even if unwittingly so. The guy's ""right hand woman"" character is more absurd and seems more clearly at the whims of her own dysfunction, so there's a bit more room there to interpret her humor as, ""Haha, look at the socially obtuse head case."" But, with the main character the guy, that is not how the comedy is operating.Some will inevitably defend this form of comic schtick by pointing out that it goes after all races, equally, including poking fun at your typical ""dorky white guy."" That simply does not resolve the inherent problem to loudly proclaiming stereotypes about the minority races black and asian, during the performance I saw, because it's is not a level playing field on which we play; teasing the group in power doesn't evoke the same level of problem, nor does it eliminate the problem inherent to putting a black man on stage and saying, ""Haha, you're our 'black guy' today, we love ya, you must have a huge youknowwhat, haha.""I mean, come on! They don't need to do that. The ensemble is so good and there are so many other ways they could engage the audience. It's a creative show with a creative spirit. Dismiss with this comedian crutch; just engage a bit more of your amazing creativity instead.Clean up your act, Absinthe.

He's a jester who goes after the audience like a terrier after a group of rabbits. He's a dangerous character, all right, but funny as hell. What's really remarkable about Absinthe is the acrobats and performers themselves. The graceful twoman balancing act had my mouth hanging open. The erotic performance of the two aerialists, the lovely South American woman who performed with a hanging hula hoop. That last one appeared onstage in a filmy blouse with something sexy underneath. The first time she hangs upsidedown, the blouse reveals a steampunk bra and panties set that's absolutely gorgeous, as is she.The racial and ethnic jokes were really pretty awful, but the subjects laughed, and so did we. p.s.: The Green Fairy drink really is delicious." +Attraction,Date of experience: June 2018,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,"Sexy, raunchy and audience interaction!","I'm not usually one to see a raunchy show like this, but I'd heard so many amazing things about it, I decided to book it for my husband's 50th birthday. I paid extra for premium seating in the first two rows, which could have been a disaster as my husband and I are shy and would have hated to be pulled onstage.You enter the big top through an outside bar area with plenty of seating. We were told there was a bar inside so we opted for this since it was boiling hot outside. The wait was longer than expected as the bartenders were slow. I'd recommend getting drinks outside to spare you the discomfort of standing in cramped quarters.The tent furnishings are a vintage lovers dream. It's decorated with unique art, vintage furnishings and a dramatic Absinthegreen curtain draped from the center of the top. This is true seating ""in the round"" with circular rows of eclectic bar stools with back support. The first two rows do have chair pads which was a nice touch. However, be warned that if you sit there, you may become one of the ringmaster's targets.About the show it's best for a VERY mature audience and has several cringeworthy moments. One couple came out with a young college aged son and dad was absolutely mortified by having to hear questionable topics in front of his kid. The announcer makes it abundantly clear that you'll hear all sorts of foul language and vulgarity. No one and no sexual topic is offlimits you will hear everything. The ringmaster is a bizarre looking dude with a sleazy voice. He singled out some people in the audience, calling them nasty names, coke heads and making suggestive comments. He called out audience members for being gay, Republican, black, Asian, and goofy white guys. Some of the humor made me squirm because of the racial stereotyping; I was uncomfortable and terrified of being roasted. I noticed that the farther you were away from the small central stage, the less likely you'd be targeted. But if you can get past that and aren't offended by this type of comedy, you'll have a great time.The cast is comprised of scantily clad, stripteasing acrobats we're talking pasties here!, mindbending jugglers, trapeze artists and dancers. Water was used three times and we were provided with plastic sheeting so we wouldn't get soaked. Speaking of getting soaked, one of the most unique acts was a hot guy doing the male version of an acrobat working with silks. I've never seen a beautiful man do acrobatics from a clawfoot bathtub full of water it was mesmerizing! The acts got better as the show progressed, with one of the audience favorites being dancing twin brothers. Their energy and passion was truly inspiring and uplifting. The show ended with a deathdefying roller skating duo and an elaborately staged curtain call. Overall, I'm very happy we went, even if it was just to see my husband laugh for 90minutes. We enjoyed it and I'd highly recommend it." +Attraction,Date of experience: June 2018,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Phenomenal Dont bring your parents or your kids,"This show was outstanding.

The humor is very good though it is heavily focused on sex, and to a degree racism, and is quite crude. I dont mind that as it is a comedy show as well, but it does get a bit old after a while of hearing it nonstop. I was at VIP table and even that had very little room, and the chairs are rather uncomfortable to sit for an extended period...at the same time the tight seating does allow for a smaller more intimate venue so you can see well from anywhere.

The cost savings wasnt a lot, maybe 15.00 USD pp basically the Ticketmaster service fee. Essentially you are buying a voucher that you then have to take to the box office of the show before receiving your actual tickets. It was a bit of extra hassle, but with 6 tickets it was worth it. The show itself was great. It is essentially a variety show, but what makes it exceptional are the hosts. They were hilarious, but in a very mature way. If you are easily offended, it wouldnt be the show for you. The 2 hosts are raunchy, crude, a bit racist though every race is open game, and just when they would be pushing the limits on the raunchiness, they would introduce an act to reel you back in. There were acrobats of different types, jugglers, dancers, and singing. There are 2 shows nightly at 8 and 10 pm. There is a bit of crowd interaction, so if it's not your thing then choose seats further back. The venue only sits around 300 people, so all the seats were good.

Do NOT bring your children. That being said, there was a TON of laughter and the acts in between the comedy were pretty amazing. This really is one of the best shows Ive seen in Vegas. LocationIts right off the strip on the Caesar property. Its just a stones throw away from Gordon Ramseys Hells Kitchen it was so convenient to make dinner reservations here and then then run on over to the Absinthe tent right before the show.VenueIts a big circus tent. Outside there is a bar and a place to hang out before the show. The VIP people had a separate entrance and got to enter through a telephone booth! The rest of us nonimportant people went through regular glass doors. Inside was not your regular theater seats. It looked like a big bar with seats arranged in a circle, with a small circular platform in the center. The seats were an assortment of folding chairs, bar chairs, etc. You are pretty squished in there so if youre a big gal or guy with long legs or broad shoulders, get an aisle seat or VIP table. For us short people, section 3 row F was pretty good our seats were taller chairs and they looked over the lower folding chairs. I felt so lucky because sitting on the folding chairs in front of me were some pretty tall guys! I said you may want to get a table, then again, maybe you dont. Table seats are prime for getting picked on by the billionaire and owner host. The first 23 rows in the whole venue were too. You may be verbally and/or physically picked to be the brunt of their joke. I would only dare sit there if you are pretty comfortable with yourself and can take this kind of joke. There are also a couple of acts that spray water on the first 23 rows. You are given plastic to try to cover up for these instances. Dont sit there if you just got a perm!ShowThe format is host, act, host, act, and so on. The acts were great. The feats of strength, balance, artistry were pretty amazing. There stage was the center platform and the air, but they also came out onto the tables. If you bought a table seat, just expect the some of the show to come right in front of your face.The hosts were the billionaire owner of the tent and his assistant. They swore a lot and made a lot of sexual humor jokes. They are the ones that could pick someone out of the audience to pick on them as the brunt of the joke or put certain body parts on them. They are also what helps to make the show so funny and entertaining. We loved it." +Attraction,Date of experience: April 2018,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Entertainment on the edge,The acrobats and the acts will make you sit on the edge of your seat.The host Gazillionaire is hilarious and engages with the crowd in the front row.The jokes are a bit offensive but then the show is rated 18 so if you are not up for listening to racist jokes then don't attend.The tent and the set is quite intimate and all the seats get a great view.

We had heard that it was a bit 'out there' in terms of adult content, and not for the faint hearted. It sounded perfect!Firstly the venue itself, in a large tent outside Caesar's Palace, where the chairs are a mix of fold down, old kitchen, stools and assorted others. Nothing matched, and many had been 'decorated' with childish depictions of genitalia or rude words. Even the seating challenges the audience. The stage itself is about 12 feet in diameter, and onto this a string of different performers do their thing. Jugglers, trapeze acts, a semistrip tease, acrobats and all hosted by 'The Gazzilionaire' and his female assistant. These two characters provide the commentary, the vast majority of the swearing, and as much racist, homophobic, antiSemitic and sexually inappropriate content as I have ever heard in a show anywhere. Personally I laughed out loud through most of the show and as long as you keep in mind that this is meant to push your buttons and you must not take any of this seriously, you'll have a blast! My wife and I loved the show, loved it! When we go to Vegas again, we will definitely be going to see Absinthe again. Just don't take your kids or maiden aunt!

Likewise everyone is a target. There is no ""safe space"" inside the tent. The acts were great. I've seen most of the Cirque show's in Vegas and after awhile they start to all feel similar. This felt different. It's almost odd to me that it was Caesars doing this show, since the set is so minimal. It doesn't have near the production cost of shows like Ka, La Reve, or Love. The show is essentially acts that could take place on or above your dining room table. For me that intimacy of the show really works.

While there we saw 6 shows and this was by far the worst and was the most expensive. We are certainly not easily offended by language and could have coped with that but it was the blatant racism that made us uncomfortable. We were sat next to a black couple and I could feel how awkward they were feeling it was so unnecessary. The performers were ok but Ive seen just as good in the UK at a Christmas party and the seating was terrible. I would have rather stood at the bar than on the tiny fold up chairs about two inches wide.Dont waste your money on this show.

I couldn't even tell you how much I paid for the ticket as it was prebooked by friends.The venue is as described by all reviewers, a tent filled with chairs cable tied together. It can be uncomfortable, but then it is 'edge of the seat' acrobatics and errr, comedy. I was warm in there. I'm glad I went to the toilet before the show started.I found the performers, mesmerising at times. The acrobatics were excellent, even mind boggling. I particularly liked the stacked chair routine at the start, but the other acts were also very, very good.Now for the bad and sad bit. I'm not an easily offended person and I did find myself laughing, but not at the ridiculously crude, mostly disgusting and immature trash that came out of the mouths of both the male and female host 'double act'. I was actually laughing at them, and not in a good way. Quite simply, they weren't in any way 'funny'. I'm sure they realise most people are laughing at them purely in embarrassment. They clearly think their gross humour is 'edgy' and 'out there'. It certainly isn't, it's rude, crude and utterly offensive to I suspect, the vast majority of ordinary people.In short, if vulgar, sexually, racially and politically offensive material mixed in with some stunning acrobatics floats your boat, then this show is for you.

It was a good show, but be prepared for sexual, political, and racial jokes. We went there specifically to see Billy and Emily England, and they did not disappoint, nor did any of the performers. This show was amazing, every act was impressive. My only complaints are the tiny, folding chairs. We paid over 300 for 2 tickets to sit in the front row and were a little disappointed when we saw the seats. The other issue was the fact that even if you buy your tickets in advance online, you still have to stand outside in the box office/will call line to pick up your tickets. It was windy and cold the night we went, and the line was long so that part wasn't very enjoyable. Overall, we had a great time!

The show takes place mostly on a 9' stage in the center of a small circus tent. There is a bar inside serving a selection of pricey drinks. We went to the late show and they just let us walk in with our drinks in hand, so there was no need to purchase more inside. I've seen most of the Cirque shows in Las Vegas, and this has a much more intimate feel. We were in the 4th row, and I felt at times, if something went wrong, some of the acts could go flying into our row. I've read quite a few reviews and it seems like some of the acts have changed over the years, but the current entertainment is first class. The rollerskating duo was fantastic, and I've never been a fan of juggling, but these guys were unbelievable. I do wish I'd seen Melody Sweets as the green fairy.There has been criticism of this show being racist and I think people are highly confused. There are portions of this show that contain satirical racism, which in the style of the great Mel Brooks is used to show how stupid racism is. If you don't like satire, or are an advocate for all things PC so see a different show. My wife didn't know we were going to this show until the day of.

The show is put on in a tent in front of Ceasars and the seats or stools, folding chairs are all of different shapes and sizessome folks complained about the seats being uncomfortableI thought they were fine.

Is it funny when you are not in the group and not funny when it is your group I don't find putting down a group with old jokes to be funny. People have said that it is raunchy. The raunchy/sexy I can handle. It is the racist, sexist, homophobic jokes that constantly go on between the acts that I did not find funny at all. Get a new comic and the show is 5 stars." +Attraction,Date of experience: October 2017,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,"Little cramped, but good show","First, the seating is folding chairs that are zipped tied so you cannot separate them any. So be ready to be friendly with your neighbors. There isn't any space between your knees and the chairs in front of you so be prepared to stand up to let people in and out of the row. They hosts used fowel language and and racial jokes. They also had a few conversations that were sexual in nature that went on a bit too long. The white ladies in front of me laughed at the racial jokes, but gave the stare of death to the sexual ones. That cracked me up. Racists who had high morals. Right! The acts were impressive and the brother and sister roller skatinf act from America's Got Talent performed. if you don't like cramped spaces you may not like this place. if you can't handle raunchy sex talk, stay away." +Attraction,Date of experience: October 2017,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,SSSSOOOOOO Good!!!!!!,"THE VENUEIs within a circus style tent. The stage is a small circular area in the centre. The chairs are mismatched fold up chairs that are very close together. Personally I liked the quirky nature of it, but if you after a comfy spacious theatre setting this is not it. There are no rest rooms in the actual venue, there are some close by for public use. I had to as I laughed SO much!!! TMI THE SHOWUnbelievable! Loved the concept of the gazzilionnaire and his show. I have not laughed that hard at a show EVER! If you are easily offended do not go! If youre not youll experience amazing acrobats, gymnasts, and performing professionals where you WILL be stunned by their talent! My heart was in my mouth! These acts are bridged by comedic interludes that are raunchy, rude, and touch on pretty much every type is ism sexism, racism, ageism you name it. But its hilarious!!!!! I couldnt believe what was being said but the whole audience went long and enjoyed the ride!!! Watch out for the crowd participation! I highly recommend and would love to go again!!!!" +Attraction,Date of experience: October 2017,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Disgustingly hilarious,"I laughed until I cried at some of the burlesque style acts, and I was awed by the acrobatic skills of some performers. The host and hostess were just way over the top for my sensibilities and I cringed at the level of sexual vulgarity. Besides that, I was in a folding chair with no padding jammed between a long legged man and a very large man. Halfway through the performance, my leg cramped from being unable to stretch. If you go, be prepared for racial and sexual humor perhaps directed at you personally, and you may get wet." +Attraction,Date of experience: August 2017,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Not a prude but humor beyond crude,"The good: smaller group seating for up front in your face spectacular stunts and cirque style acts. The early century styled circus tent adds to the unique styled show sprinkled with sexy burlesque, some funny crude humor and attractive talented acrobatic artists and acts.The bad: I don't mind paying 100 seat even with a military discount, for the 4th row there are no bad seats, but only the first 3 rows get pillows on the assorted folding chairs, some are wood. Beyond the 3rd row, just a folding chair tied tightly together, no cushion. You are scrunched together with your neighbor for a solid 90 minutes. Most of the clientele are slender, hip, beautiful creatures dressed to the nines, which doesn't change anything but it's not your average type of crowd. The jokes cross all racial and sexual lines, making certain chosen people in the first 3 rows the butt of all jokes throughout the show black, asian, white people labeled as republicans like that's a bad thing, dorky people, people labeled as lesbians...no one left out. I work in a casino commercial kitchen and my husband a retired Navy fleet chief and are no means offended by crude sexual natured jokes by the ringmaster and his nympho side kick. We get it's just the act. I guess we don't find continuous humor in repetitive xxx rated jokes, literally verbal porn, very funny. We leave that to comedians like Kathy Griffin and Amy Schumer. Again by all means we are not prudes in the least bit. I guess thats what people think is funny. If you pay to be in the VIP area be prepared for the ushers to drape you in plastic occasionally to keep from getting wet depending on the act, and you just might get the bonus of becoming the butt of the 90 minute ongoing joke. If that's what you want to spend your money on. I've been to many cirque du soleil types of shows, and they make sure to include a few of the hanging silk/strap performers. Again, cool to see but you've seen one you've seen them all. At least I felt I got my money's worth seeing the Jersey Boys and Steve Wynn's Show Stoppers but didn't feel I got 100 value in this show." +Attraction,Date of experience: August 2017,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,The Good and the Bad,"The GoodFantastic Acrobatic Acts. Also the Circus Tent Venue allowing for good seating locations anywhere as it is a performance in the round.The Bad I mean very bad. The seats are mostly various types of folding chairs crammed in almost on top of each other. They are very hard and little ""breathing room"". The ""raunchy"" language is used, I think, to promote the show. Spoken by your male and female MC's, the language is sexual, genderbias, and racial in nature does little in my opinion to embellish the show and actually may detract from the great acrobatic performances you will see." +Attraction,Date of experience: July 2017,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Ridiculously awesome!!!!!!!!!!,"Definitely NOT for everybody!! If you're the least bit sensitive to bawdy, lewd, obscene comedy, DO NOT attend this show! There is nothing and nobody spared in the throwback to old time entertainment. The host and hostess are irreverant the entire show and mercilessly pick on people in the audience. If you're offended by sexist, racist, homophobic, and vulgar jokes and language this is NOT the show for you!! However, if you can put the politically correct views on hold, you will be entertained nonstop during this rapid paced, hilariously funny show. It's a fairly small venue with terribly uncomfortable seats but everything is very close to a very small stage and easy to see everything. It's an old time variety type of show will several acts that are tons of fun. But it's the hosts that make it. There's no way to describe them other than hilariously funny!!!

I didn't know what to expect but am so happy I checked it out. The host is raunchy, hilarious if you have a darker sense of humor. Expect political, racial, religiously offensive jokes, foul language and plenty of sex jokes. Aside from the host these acts are simply amazing. Vector Duo's strength is absolutely shocking. And the skaters with leave you gasping is awe. Skater Emily is absolute beauty to watch. If you only see one show in Vegas this has to be it." +Attraction,Date of experience: June 2017,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,this is not funny,"The venue is in a tent outside Caesar's Palace. Small, but OK and well air conditioned it was the hottest week in history of LV when I visited. The sitting is quite uncomfortable. Almost all the seats offer the same visibility; the first two rows are splash rows for one act only. I got the most expensive VIP ticket, which gave me a seat at a table but on an uncomfortable tall chair, and a bottle of what they call ""champagne"", but is in fact an extremely poor sparkling wine.The show is a combination of comedy and acrobatics. I found the comedy part horrible nevertheless, most of the audience was laughing out loud. All the jokes were dirty and/or racist. Not clever jokes, though. Humor was replaced by constant swearing as if that is funny by itself. For instance, the host labelled three men in the front row as gay, and kept telling ""jokes"" about them throughout the show what they like to do to each other, what will happen in their hotel room after the show, etc. It was not funny, but pathetic.The acrobatics part of the show was better, but far, far below the standards of for example CDS. The stage is very small, so this is one of the limits for sure. The costumes and the scene are what you would expect in a circus, without an extra something. There is no nudity despite the ""adult"" label, and if a barechested girl in one of the acts is what you are looking for, then I am sure there are plenty of far better alternatives in Vegas.One act though was by my opinion inventive, fresh, and something new the girl and the balloon dance. Absolutely not enough to justify the 150 I paid for the ticket. I really regret visiting the show, again due to extremely poor humor." +Attraction,Date of experience: July 2017,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Absolutely fantasticour favorite show in Vegas,"This show was great. Go with an open mind. Very adult themed. Lots of sexist, racist, political jokes. But we were laughing so hard we were crying. Everyone was a good sport when they were being made fun of. The host and sidekick were fantastic and the different acts were wildly entertaining. This was our favorite show and the theater is small and round so all seats are great. Don't sit too close to the front if you don't want to get picked on or get too wet.

Absinthe presents a rare combination of greasy carny barker with breathholding feats of acrobatic talent in a very intimate tent setting. Don't take children unless they need to learn every bad word in one setting. My best buddy from high school came up so I got us VIP seating. We were given a special VIP entrance through a limegreen tardis British phone booth Dr. Who style and a free selection of water or champagne. Each chair in this tent is different and there are not a lot so this is not an arena. There is a small section of tables, which is what I got us. The lighting and staging is eclectic and from a bygone era, which adds to the sensory delight. The master of ceremonies is fantastically caustic and sharpwitted! His gold tooth, awful and greasy haircut, gold jacket and shoes are perfect. He slices and dices all races, genders, political affiliations. He has a young hyper woman sidekick who cannot stop talking about everything sexual that comes to her mind without filter. After talking to two Jewish people about the cuts they'd see in the men's spandex, he told them if they didn't believe him to just ask the two gay guys sitting behind them me and my buddy! OMG! Then the sidekick goes on a long diatribe about all the gay sex we're having. I cried it was so fricken funny! But it's not all racist or sexist humor. The performers are truly talented acrobats that deliver some great and conceptual performances. At times, the tables we sat at were used by the performers. At times the audience is the performers. This is no Cirque show! But all I can say is GO! Be prepared to be dazzled and possibly offended at the same time!

Some of the tricks the performers did had me gasping and covering my eyes and so did some of the jokes! It was held in a small circus tent with a large array of mismatched chairs! In fact, I believe my husband and I had the best seats in the house: high back tufted arm chairs! The main floor had a variety of folding chairs and then people on the outside of the main ring like my husband and me had things such as church pews, old bath tubs, and even barber chairs to sit in!

If you're not sure it's your cup of tea, you may be better off just not going. There are your typical cirque type acrobats as well which were entertaining. There wasn't anything you haven't seen in another show but they were excellent none the less. It's a circular tent so I suspect you can see pretty well from most anywhere. The seats, however, are a hodgepodge of weird chairs, that look like they raided a bunch of garage sales and just what they could find. They were ver uncomfortable and crammed together.

Rollerskating on a 8' round stage in center; the aerial acts that go so high and spin so fast; I had to cover my eyes a number of times it seemed what they were doing was scary dangerous; the girl with the balloon. The music was beautifully done. I thought it was going to be sort of silly burlesque acts and it was so much more than that. It was just amazing talent and I am so glad I went.

If you sit near the front, you had better be prepared: The MC will insult your appearance/race/sexual preference, etc. It's very primitive stuff black men dance better and are bigger beneath the belt, people with dark complexions are terrorists, Asian women all say ""me so horny"", and the small gay man is ""the bh"" in the relationship. I'm not really that PC, but it just wasn't smart comedy. If you are a minority and sit near the front, you should expect racist comments. You will also get sprayed by water including some spit by the acrobat it you sit up front, although they give you plastic to hold up during the act. We sat in row two, and I got a sore neck from looking up. I definitely wished I had sat in one of the couches further back. The acrobats were good, but nothing that I hadn't seen before in Cirque shows. The setting is very much like Teatro Zinzanni although I likedTeatro much better than this.

The show emcee started the show with a monologue if you are insulted easily or don't tolerate sexually explicit, demeaning or racist comments, this is not the show for you. We generally found the show to be funny, but several times I thought it crossed the line by targeting individuals in the audience and commenting on them an Asian woman was selected and he started speaking to her with an Asian accent making demeaning comments. He moved to a bunch of guys and started calling them the gay guys throughout the show. He selected an African American couple near us and started making comments about them in the back of the theatre and another interracial couple, commenting on them. The couple near us was so uncomfortable, they got up and left. It was ""all in fun"" BUT it was very uncomfortable. Once they had the acts they were great. The seats are unbearably uncomfortable the main bowl seating is folding chairs linked together with zip ties. If you are tall, make sure you have an aisle. If you go, sit at tables in back. Only sit in front if you really want to be picked on by the emcee. It's a good show, make sure you consider where you sit and go in with very thick skin!!

Stop being so PC all the damn time America!Anyway, this is a smaller venue and any seat is a good seat for viewing the stage. I would recommend when booking your seats to get a table or an aisle seat. I saw a bigger guy stuck between his girlfriend and another bigger lady on the other side of him. He looked miserable during the performance because he was all scrunched up and looked to be having a hard time finding a comfortable position.

If you are offended by graphically sexual or racist humor, or political correctness is important, go see something else. For everyone else, Absinthe is a wonderfully funny mix of comedy, acrobatics, and dance.Absinthe is held in a little tent at the front of Caesars Palace. The circular stage where everything happens is probably 15 feet in diameter, and the seats start right at the edge of the stage. There are probably 10 rows of seats so you are really close to the action no matter where you sit. The seats are a collection of random folding chairs, so its cramped and not necessarily comfortable, but its part of the overall underground vibe. The tent itself is air conditioned, so it was not uncomfortable even in the 100degree heat that we experienced.The show itself is a mix of the aforementioned outrageous comedy, acrobatic acts of balance and strength, and some dance routines. What really stood out for me is how close you are to the action; it lends an excitement and immediacy that you dont get when you go to a large stage production like any of the Cirque shows. There are some amazing performers in Absinthe.Finally, if you dont mind being part of the show, go ahead and sit in the first few rows you will be picked on mercilessly. For us, we were towards the back Row H, and we could enjoy it without worrying about being called out!" +Attraction,Date of experience: June 2016,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,The best show in Vegas !,"Undoubtedly this is the best show in Vegas. An assured evening of all round entertainment top class performances, raunchy comedy and a nice theme to the entire show. Unlike the other shows which are held in large theatres, the setting here is like a tent where you are sitting quite close to the performances. Cons In case you are offended by adult / racist humour, not the place to go. And sit in the first row at your own risk !" +Attraction,Date of experience: July 2016,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,A must see show,"Amazing, super entertaining show. Just be aware of racial and sexual humor. Very raunchy. But if you go open minded, for sure you won't regret it. At the same time, this show has first level circus performances. I totally would go see it again." +Attraction,Date of experience: July 2016,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Funny funny funny,"Seriously as previous reviews have said do not go if you don't like bad language sexism racist language etc etc however if you can take it for what it is a comedy then you won't regret it... My wife and I haven't laughed so much in ages and are still mimicking some lines now we are back in England, the host and his assistant are hilarious and completely destroyed certain audience members but all in good heart there are some awesome entertainers thrown in to the mix and as you're so close to the action it makes it even more impressive... Sexy, funny and highly entertaining I would definitely go and see the show again" +Attraction,Date of experience: July 2016,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Everything you want under a small tent!,"What a treat this show is funny, topical actors and and very, very talented acrobats entertain from start to finish. If you are offended by foul language, racial slurs or dirty jokes, this is not for you, but if you love this kind of silly raunch and are amazed at the physicality of acrobatics then make this show your top pick." +Attraction,Date of experience: July 2016,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Great option in Vegas!," This is a very good sexy show that wants to differenciate itself from Cirque du Soleil Zumanity though in this case you need to understand English to enjoy it in full, different from the typical musical based shows where the language is not that important. The jokes might sound a bit rude or racist if you don t understand their humour. I loved it particularly. The artists are great and come from all over the world and all of them are very very talented as the stage is very small and they do their acts as if they were on a really big theater. The theater is a tent next to Caesar' s Palace, with air conditioning and not very comfortable seats." +Attraction,Date of experience: June 2016,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Best show!,"One of the best shows I've ever been to, following Amaluna by Cirque de Soleil! Tickets sell quick, so make sure you buy them AT LEAST one day in advance, especially if you want seat selections.The acts are beyond amazing and very interesting and unique not your usual stuff. Comedic routines still have me laughing days later. Intimate setting.The humor is quite vulgar and liberal, so if that's not you're thing, I don't recommend it. Plenty of sex lots!, politics and racial jokes get thrown around. Very funny!Seating is a bit crammed and uncomfortable, but manageable. They set up fold out chairs in a circle around the stage and a few table clusters on the top layer. We sat in the last row of the main section before the table clusters, and it was great. If you get stuck with someone tall in front of you, your'e out of luck though. It's not slanted much.Only thing I wish was that it would have been more accessible to get drinks." +Attraction,Date of experience: June 2016,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Explicitly Funny,"Good show with circus type acts infused with sex type, politically and racially incorrect humor.Don't sit in the front row unless you like to be picked on! And I mean seriously picked on.Most Acts were very good. A few acts were just ok. The chairs are crammed in and really hard and wooden. I was in the 9th row and there are only 10 Rows. Since most of the Acts are elevated I could see most everything and I'm short but there were a few things obstructed from my view. We bought discount tickets from half price ticket booth. There's one across from the Vdara hotel and another one near Harrah's. The tickets are cheaper because you must purchase them for the same day of the show.No restrooms inside the show!" +Attraction,Date of experience: May 2016,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,No social stereotype left unmolested. Awesome Show,"Was not sure what to expect when the wife booked it. It is in an almost temporary looking facility at Caesars. Show started and it was rude, offensive, nasty, talented and absolutely awesome. The audience members who were picked on took especially the racial things both in stride and with a laugh. The acrobatics were also very outstanding with some amazing performances. If you aren't prepared to have a sense of humor, are wound a little tight or have anything wooden stuck in your backside I wouldn't recommend it. Otherwise its one of the best values on the strip." +Attraction,Date of experience: April 2016,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Laughed hard but know what you're getting into,"First of all, very cool little tent felt like stepping back 100 years to a travelling circus. Ok. So make sure that the people you're going with have a sense of humour and know that the subject matter will be extremely offensive. I was concerned and anxious about the racism because I don't find it funny but it was mostly pretty tame and predictable during this particular show..Some of the stuff he said to audience members was hilarious. There were 8 in our group and we all hurt afterwards from laughing. The acrobats were impressive too." +Attraction,Date of experience: April 2016,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,"Unique, and so much fun!!","Best show I've seen in Vegas yet! I'm a big fan of variety shows like this though a bit of acrobatics, some daringdo, a bit of burlesque and some comedy to round it out. The best part of this one is how intimate it is you're very close to the stage in a circle, so close that if you're in the front row for one act you'll get wet! Also, to some of the comments about the humor here. It's definitely pushing the racism and sexism boundaries, but it's all in good fun. If you're too conservative with your humor, just don't go. So to sum up: totally fun show, very sexy and a great night out with a date!" +Attraction,Date of experience: May 2016,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,"Cirque du Soleil Meets Louis C.K.....Say, wut","Our society today has taught us to be above racism, sexism and other negative ideologies. It's the fact that such discrimination has given rise to hatred, conflicts, and wars around the world. Such bigotry and judgment is the cornerstone of Absinthe's comedy and I loved every second of the show. The refreshing comedic stance of stepping into the unholy and disapproving subject matters,I believe, is what makes it draw crowds from all corners of the planet. Everyone likes a taste of the forbidden fruit. The comedy is intertwined and alternate between skits, jokes, and amazing acrobatics. Even if one cannot appreciate the crude, adult humor, there's no denying of the talent and skill the physical performers have. From displaying raw strength, to high wire balancing acts, each and every performer will surprise you and have you on the edge of your seat. The venue is under a small outdoor tent outside Caesar's and seating is comprised of ziptied foldout chairs. Don't fret if you have a seat near the rear and cannot fully see the stage; the majority of the acts and performances will be at an elevated level. Be warned, seats at the front may not be best for shy folks given that there are in a splash zone and the scurrilous MC tends to pick those closest to the stage. All in all, if you're looking for something that's different and enjoy raunchy humor, Absinthe will be your type of entertainment. It's a refreshing change from the typical Vegas shows and will make you die laughing and feeling dirty at the same time." +Attraction,Date of experience: May 2016,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,White Trash Cirque De Soleil but in a GOOD way!!!,"This is in a tent outside of Ceasars, by Serindipity. If you are picking up tickets prior to the show, the box office is outside by the tent as well. For the show the best way I can describe it is white trash cirque. Seriously. But in a good/fun way. I've seen all of the Cirque shows, as this was my 20th trip to Vegas. The seats for this show are random, small, garage sale/old school desk type seats. Don't expect to be comfy. They are ziptied together too so you will be elbow to elbow with the person next to you. Don't let this steer you away by any means, it is part of the experience. They have some very talented acts in this show. The host is very vulgar, racist, dirty, raunchy and will pick on everyone in the front row so it makes for LOTS of laughs. If you get offended easily, this show probably isn't for you. For instance, he was picking on the ""trophy wife"" sitting up front and called her up to the stage. He also pulled out a token white guy from the audience and a black male from the audience to give this girl a lap dance. She then had to touch the crouch of the guy she thought did the best dance. The guy and girl on the skates are amazing. The strength of the talented artists are top notch. It's cirque talent set to modern and fun music. Give it a shot. You will love it. I'm not sure why we've put this show off for so many years. I would definitely see it again." +Attraction,Date of experience: July 2015,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Low Class Trash,"Probably one of the worst shows we ever saw. Save your money. Nothing funny about degradation. Making fun of Gays, lesbians and racist jokes...enough said." +Attraction,Date of experience: April 2016,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Irreverently funny. Not for the thin skinned.,"Racial, sexual and otherwise crude jokes. Funny if you are not easily offended. People seated close to the center stage will be open target for jokes. Lots of bare chests. The only con is the seating. All sorts of chairs of varying height zip tied together. The view of the action will be partially obstructed by people in front. Pictures/ videos are allowed as long as there are no flash or lights as these could be dangerous for the performers. Concierge at the Caesar's Palace had cheaper tickets." +Attraction,Date of experience: April 2016,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,You HAVE to see this one!,"We've been to many of the shows Cirque, Peep, concerts but had yet to see Absinthe. We went with 12 of our friends and could not have asked for a better night. We have so many great oneliners from the night and are still laughing about it. The place is small it feels like you are going to a small town circus in the tent and all. Yes, it's a little grungy going in but that was all part of our incredible experience. The staff did a great job getting all 14 of us to our seats. The show was hilarious and our faces hurt from laughing the entire time. We were in awe of the athletic ability of the performers. The acts were amazing. The hosts were extremely entertaining. I read other reviews about the disappointment they had well they are probably prudes. The show is racy you have to expect that going in. They are comedians they make sexual and racial jokes. It is what it is. And it is amazing." +Attraction,Date of experience: April 2016,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,OMG!,"WOW! First of all I just want to say.....THIS IS NOT A CIRQUE SHOW! I don't know how many people I heard say that. IT IS NOT! It is also NOT for the weak minded or easily offended. The poor old gal in the front row obviously did not read ANY reviews before buying her ticket. This IS however, the best Vegas show you will ever see. SO different from anything you will have seen up to now. Don't go in thinking you are going to a cirque show. Yes, they have acrobatics and gymnastics....not the kind you've seen until now. Don't be shy to nudity or a little racism although they do it with class and no one seems to be offended I said to my Aunt when we left this show ""If everyone could just sit back and laugh at themselves....black...white...indian...asian....catholic....protestant...tall....short,well you get my drift. If we could all laugh at ourselves and not take everything so seriously in the world....I think we'd be so better off. Everyone is so sensitive about everything now days it makes me sad. This is the best show to let us all know that it's ok to be WHATEVER you are. We can laugh at ourselves and IT'S OK. So if you want a breathe of fresh air and a good laugh and some of the most amazing acts you have EVER seen......this is the show for you. Trust me people it doesn't get the reviews that it does for no reason. ENJOY!!!! I'd go see it 100 times over if I lived close enough!" +Attraction,Date of experience: April 2016,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,A racy variety show,"The show Absinthe at Caesars Palace is an entertaining exhibition of highly talented acrobats dancers singers and comedians. Most of the acts had a real wow factor, amazing stuff. Be warned though that the humor is very raunchy and there's a few racial jokes too so if you're easily offended this show isn't for you. I'd also recommend not sitting in the first two rows as you're more likely to get picked on as is the case with most ad lib comedians. The venue is a little odd, a fairly small circus tent with folding chairs to sit in but once the show starts it seems to work just fine." +Attraction,Date of experience: March 2016,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Disappointing/Grungy Tent/Crowded/So Vulgar,"We were so excited to see the show because we had heard great reviews about it. But we couldn't have been more disappointed in the show. First of all, you walk in a tent and it just has a grungy feel. You are scrunched together in fold up chairs with nowhere to move. The narrator was so vulgar and so disgusting it was offensive. I can take a joke and I can take curse words, but if it takes 20 minutes to do one act because you're too busy yelling out cursewords and racial slur's, this isn't the show for you. The acts were good but nothing compared to Cirque du Soleil. I would much rather see a show like that where music is played in the background in a nice theatre than the awful narrative in a shabby tent. My husband and I walked out of the show probably 30 minutes into it. If you thinking about buying tickets, think twice, save your money and definitely upgrade to Cirque du Soleil. You will be extremely disappointed if you choose this show and atmosphere." +Attraction,Date of experience: February 2016,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Not as great as I was anticipating,"I kept reading rave reviews that if there was only one show you saw in Las Vegas it should be this one. But I have to say that I was a bit disappointed. I had been warned not to go if we were easily offended. We are not at all, but it even pushed my limits at times. And at other times I was laughing so hard my face hurt! There are some very good acrobatic acts some quite erotic, but I would have preferred to have seen more of those and less of the show hosts. The theatre was nice and small, under a tent. We had been told there were no bad seats because of the size. However when we booked our seats we were pointed out sections where it would be more difficult to see because there would be posts in front of us. Even with the ""good seats"" we ended up having to move over because of a post in the way! We were in the back row, which was fine for a view since it is such a small venue. Definitely don't sit in the first few rows of you don't want to picked on. Especially if you are from a visible nonCaucasian or nonstraight group. And if you are easily offended by racist, homophobic, sexist jokes, don't go. All in all, it was okay, but I have to say that I do regret spending that much money on it. In retrospect, we probably should have gone to Cirque du Soleil's ""Zoomanity"" if we wanted something more risqu." +Attraction,Date of experience: February 2016,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS ON THE STRIP!,"Saw this show a couple of days ago and cannot recommend it enough. The 18 show is filled with offensive humour and classic circus acts under the big top. Would not recommend it to anyone who is easily offended as the ""host"" does poke fun at most of the audience with racial and homophobic jokes tasteful of course. Had the biggest smile on my face the whole night and could not stop laughing! Will definitely come and see it again! The only downside was the seating as the seats are set up on a flat surface as opposed to most shows on the strip set in a theatre where the rows elevate. Was unfortunate enough to be sitting behind and incredibly tall person and had to move side to side to see some acts, however most of the acts do take place in the air and can be seen from most seats." +Attraction,Date of experience: February 2016,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Amazing Night Out,"This show was the highlight of our Vegas trip. From the moment you enter the tent, you feel like you're in another world. The acts were all topnotch and we laughed our sses off. If you are offended by cursing, racism, sexism, homophobism, explicit descriptions of sex acts, etc., etc. you probably won't want to attend this show. If you enjoy raunchy and offensive humor, you'll probably scratch that, definitely love it.The show lasts about 2 hours and drinks were spendy at 20/split of champagne, obvs. Every seat in the house has a great view ... as others have said those in the first few rows should be prepared to be picked on. We sat in the back row, which still had a great view and included better alternatives to the standard folding chairs some guests were even sitting in recliners!" +Attraction,Date of experience: February 2016,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Not for the easily offended,"The performers in this show are top notch. The acts are all a bit different from tap dancers to roller skaters to trapeze artists but they all are amazing!! Some of the humor is racist and sexist I wouldn't be taking my parents to this show, but if you can get past it, you'll have a great time! Try to get a table along the back all seats are good but the tables in the back are the most comfortable. Only sit up front if you are ready to participate give or get a lap dance or get made fun of by the ruthless host." +Attraction,Date of experience: February 2016,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Amazing Acts in a Nostalgic Circus Settting,"Absinthe is a show that will make you laugh, blush and mostly be amazed by the acts that appear on a small round stage at the center of the tent. For some the MC and his interplay with the audience especially those seated in the front row may be considered rude and racist. He is the entertainment as the acts transition on to the stage. The tent is small with a quirky old 50's circus tent feel. Seats are varied and can be anything from a wooden folding chair to a bathtub or barber chair. There is not a bad seat in the house as there are only about ten rows from the stage. If you book ahead those at the back are a little more comfortable. We we are T19 a table for two with a great view. The acts are circus like extraordinary performances of strength, talent and dare devil thrills, with many omg moments. My favorite were the two ""bodyguards"" who blew my mind with their strength, physicality and performance that is almost a ballet of slow motion muscle." +Attraction,Date of experience: February 2016,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Worth it,"We have ragged out pretty much everything there is to see with Mlife. Absinthe is over at Ceasars total rewards. My aunt saw it and recommended it so we went.We did manage to get the 20 off coupons in front of the box office so two tickets set us back right at 200.Pro tip: front row I am sure is awesome, though you are a target for the jokes. In my opinion, row K is actually the best. It is the edge of the back but you get lots of leg room and now one in front of you. I did not feel any closer would have been better.The jokes and humor is very adult. Be very comfortable with cursing, sex, racial jokes, looks, scatological references.....it's hilarious. It is adult.The stunts are very cool and interesting.The performers all have perfect bodies and are lovely to look at while they defy death. I would say this is a must see show, I would see it again in the future." +Attraction,Date of experience: December 2015,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,"Not for the easily offended, but very funny","As advertised, the show is fast moving, with lots of humor that some may find offensive foul language, racist jokes, etc. We found it hilarious, as all is presented in a very good natured ribbing sort of way. The host and sidekick are very funny and feed off each other nicely. The acts range from singing to acrobatics to mildly erotic dance, and all were very entertaining. Our only minor complaint is that we found it a bit too short at 1 hour 20 minutes. Seating made it a bit difficult for my wife as she had trouble seeing over taller patrons she's 5' 2""...if you're short, make sure you sit in the 2nd section from front.

""Complimentary"" Splits of Champagne were included in our ticket price. The Emcee and his female cohost were hilarious. If you sit on the front row, you will be accused of being ""the four gay guys"" which he referred to throughout the show. If you are racially sensitive or any other ""PC"" related issue, you do NOT want to see this show. The show consisted of quite a few talented Acts on the small Stage in the Center of the Theater. It was interspersed with the Comedy monologue of the two Hosts. One couldn't wait to hear what they were going to say next. We were belly laughing from the start.

If you are easily offended, go see Donny and Marie, but if you love burlesque type of humour...this is a real treat. We got great value by using the half price ticket outlet. I would do this before a Cirque show any day of the week. " +Attraction,Date of experience: December 2015,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Wonderfully Entertaining,"All the rumors are true, this is a fantastic show! We had a blast. As one half of an interracial couple, I was actually a bit nervous going in due to the if you dont have a thick skin dont go comments. But it really wasnt bad at all. My husband and I love stand up and weve been to a lot of shows were the comics were much worse. But I suppose, if you really are sensitive you wont enjoy it. I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes. Heres the other thing, the comedic aspect of the show served more as transitions between acts. The hosts would do the intro and introduce the acts. The main attraction, which really was spectacular are the performers. All the acts were wonderful and the small intimate venue made it that much more aweinspiring. I also found all the staff to be extremely helpful. The time just flew by and I was a tad sad when it all finished. I like to ensure my reviews always keep the spirit of trip advice so here goes: 1. The tent really is very small as everyone has said those middle seats all tied together looked cramped and uncomfortable. Per the reviews, we opted for seats in the back which I highly recommend. We had a little table for our drinks and what looked to be comfier chairs. It is also a little raised so no trying to see over people's heads. The tent is so small I feel like calling it the back is misleading as you are still really close to the stage. No bad seats here. 2. Another reason to sit in the back is often people in the front are held up when going to the bathroom or to get drinks. Depending on the act the staff may stop you and you may not be allowed to walk up the isle until an act gets going. 3. So if I say the back is close then VIP is REALLY close. Sit here with the expectation that something will be thrown on you or youre going to be picked on. Wigs, tops, glitter.some people dont mind this but just be mindful. 4. The closest bathroom is across the way basically not in the tent. So timing is key. I would recommend going right before things start so you dont miss anything. 5. There is bar outside and I think one inside that sells drinks typical Vegas prices and popcorn 6. We went to the 8pm show and the outside bar opened around 7:15ish and the doors opened at 7:30. 7. Box office to pick up tickets is separate from the Caesars box office and is located right outside the tent. 8. Not for kids. Adult content both expressed and implied. Go have fun! Enjoy" +Attraction,Date of experience: December 2015,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Pretty crass...,"Ok, so I have to say, I'm not at all in line with most of the reviews. ""We"" I should say. My wife and I went to this show last Wednesday evening, our last night in L.V. Our friends from MI went a couple nights earlier, and liked it. In general, I'd say its in line with the other ""variety"" shows we have see in Vegas. Performers seem a little less polished though. Their skills are of course, amazing, and I would not take anything away from them. As my wife likes to say ""they demonstrate the peak abilities of the human body"". The rest of it is pretty crass. No actual clever or sophisticated humor at all, basically toilet humor. the whole damned show. Throw that in with some pasties and I guess that is enough for people. I would say its a 40 show. The humor, as it were, was designed to make people uncomfortable and squeamish. Highly successful at that. If you are into that, 120 for a tent with little actual humor, lots of toilet humor, racist and sexist commentary to the max! and some pretty good performers this might be up your alley. We found it pretty disappointing. I only gave it two stars for the performers, and their athletic ability and obvious dedication to their craft. That is incredible stuff.

I'm glad I did because it was definitely a sold out show and we picked our seats. The seating is super cramped, but that added to the ambience and feel of the show. Don't be afraid to pick the seats on the outer perimeter. You'll have much more leg room. Be prepared for tap dancers to dance on your table though! Other reviewers have said it and so will I...if you are offended by foul language, racist jokes, nudity, and crude jokes, don't go.

Please please go and see this show!!" +Attraction,Date of experience: October 2015,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Great show!!!!,"Warning:this show is full of vulgar language, sexual content and racial stereotype humor. If that does not bother you, it is the most enjoyable show I have seen so far! The performances are impressive and flawless. The performers are talented and beautiful, both male and female. It is hilarious and impressive!!! A must see in Vegas" +Attraction,Date of experience: September 2015,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,WOW just WOW.,"This show has it all, but it is not for everyone. Like many other comments here, if you are easily offended by racist jokes, sex jokes, tough language stay away. Me on the other side had a blast with my wife. This small improvised circus in the front of the Caesars Palace is the equivalent of a treasure with gems inside. Wow everything from the shows, to the acrobats, the jokes, and the interaction it amazing. Perfect show for sin city!! Try getting isle seats if possible as the chairs are a bit uncomfortable and close to each other." +Attraction,Date of experience: September 2015,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Never laughed so much. Fantastic,"booked a VIP package , this came with a small bottle of champagne and front seats.We had been warned that front seats as with others could be a target.I was targeted for a grand twerking big time by the Ringmaster, who decided that this ole chick was texting her grandkids about the show lol The acts are superb from acrobatics, high wire acts and many many many more amazing acts very clever.There is nothing sacred, be it racism, homophobia, religion, genitalia, F word etc etc. Be aware that this is in the show before you go and while outside I wouldn't be part of this, from the moment the show started I allowed myself to be part of the moment and boy was it worthwhile I have never laughed so so so much at a show a great show" +Attraction,Date of experience: September 2015,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Best show on the strip,"Still the best show on the strip. I have seen this show four times now and still I enjoy it. Do miss the previous ringmaster and his assistant as they were hilarious but the new guys are very good. The balance of comedy, insults, and amazing acts make this show the best. Be warned this is not a show for anyone that is shocked by racism as this is given out well but evenly against all backgrounds." +Attraction,Date of experience: September 2015,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Unbelievable Acts of Human Strength with Adult Humour,"This has to be one of the best shows in Las Vegas if you are looking for human performance in acts of strength, balance and acrobatics. What makes it different are the uncensored adult humour, racist jokes and the rest. If you cannot take swearing and sexual humour then avoid, otherwise this is brillant ! The stage is very small and raised in the centre of a tent. Seating is on free chairs surrounding the stage and there isn't much room. My only complaint is if you are sat behind several huge fellows then your view for some acts will be partially blocked. The show lasts 90 minutes and passes very quickly. Drinks are expensive. Seen the show twice and if in Vegas again I would probably want to see a third time." +Attraction,Date of experience: September 2015,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Great show as long as you're not a prude,Raunchy. Rude. Racist. Inappropriate. Sexist. Crass. Incorrigible. Crowded. Hilarious. Impressive. Embarrassing. Shocking. Unbelievable. Deathdefying. Incredible. Unmissable. +Attraction,Date of experience: September 2015,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Great show,"We were recommended to try this show but given no information on what it was about as to not ruin it. So I am going to do the same. Defintly give this show a try but beware if you are sensitive to sexual/racial or just about anything else jokes this may not be for you, swearing is a common theme throughout." +Attraction,Date of experience: September 2015,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Best show and very vulgar! ,An absolute gem of a show!!! This is not for the politically correct or sensitive crowd. This show is very vulgar but will have you laughing from the start till the end. They will curse and make racial comments about everyone and don't hold back. There are people that would be offended but I can only imagine what would happen if someone wanted to leave during the show. It's setup in a small venue outside of Caesars that is part of the charm. I highly suggest this show to anyone that can take a joke and wants to laugh hard. +Attraction,Date of experience: August 2015,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Best show in Vegas,"This show has it all. Singing, acrobats, comedy, striptease, and yes....NOT PC at all. VERY raunchy and racist comedy.Small venue in the round. Every seat is close. Don't sit in the first two rows if you don't want to be ""picked on""I have not laughed so much in a long time. We really didn't know what to expect, so it was nice to be surprised.Just go to this show and you will be glad you did.Skip the NASTY Absinthe drinks they sell while you wait in line. Really Absinthe should be enjoyed the traditional way only...not mixed with sweet yuck to make it palatable. " +Attraction,Date of experience: August 2015,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,One of the best shows we've seen on the strip,"Not for families or people who don't like crude humor and adult content. Lots of swearing, racist jokes and provocative outfits. We passed on seeing this show so many times in Vegas. We stayed at Caesars this past trip and had no interest in Celine or Elton, so Absinthe it was. From the minute we walked into the tent we were in awe. The decor and ambience is amazing. Once the show started, it was laughs, and wows keeping us on edge the entire show. Nonstop entertainment keeps you cheering for more. Go see it. See it again and again. I know we will. Long live the gazillionaire!" +Attraction,Date of experience: August 2015,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Sit in the back and have your mind blown.,This is one of my favorite shows of all time. I'm still not sure how no one was killed but that speaks to how incredible the performers are. The final tight rope act is a little weak but maybe that's just because the rest of the show was so amazing. Advice: sit in the back row. All the seats up close are fold out chairs and cramped. Anyone in the first three rows is game for being called a racial slur and picked on by the comedian host...or being killed by a flying foot or chair...But definitely go. One of the best shows I've ever seen. +Attraction,Date of experience: July 2015,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Imagine Cirque du Soleil hosted by Howard Stern,"This was our first show during our Vegas vacation. We had very little knowledge of the show and simply chose to go based on TripAdvisor ratings and the proximity to our hotel. I will start by saying the show is funny, witty in a most politically incorrect and often offensive way. If you have a low tolerance for stereotypical racial jokes, jokes of an explicit sexual nature this is probably not for you. Otherwise you can expect a nicely balanced variety show where the performers stage acts are creatively introduced in the fictional ""Spigelworld"" setting. The individual acts may not be the very very best that Vegas had to offer but they are all quite amazing and incredible to watch. The circus tent venue has a very ""1800's"" feel so the entire theatre becomes part of the act. It's quite cool. I did hear quite a few spectators voice frustration and disappointment about the actual seats which are an eclectic variety of folding chairs and other wooden chairs, but I actually thought they enhanced the setting. Bottom line is there is not a bad seat in the house. A word if warning if you are the shy type do not sit in the first two rows. There could be a very high likelihood that you will find yourself part of the act or the recipient of some fairly funny but none the less demeaning jokes. If you take that stuff in stride go for it sit in the front row and enjoy. " +Attraction,Date of experience: July 2015,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Incorrect at every level must see,"this show is so politically, sexually and racially incorrect I would not have thought I would find it funny... But I did... Very funny. Also the acts are true Vegas standard and all in a very small intimate quirky circus tent. If you're offended by bad taste jokes and the 'F' word then don't go. Otherwise this is truly a totally different amazing show not to be missed. " +Attraction,Date of experience: May 2015,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Crude rude but so so funny,This show was recommended to me by a friend I was so glad I went. Not a show to go to if you are easily offended by fowl language or racism but you will laugh your head off also be blown away by the talent of the acts. Personally I hate fowl language but because I had been warned what to expect I was prepared for it. This show is absolutely hillarious I would recommend you go see it. +Attraction,Date of experience: November 2014,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,A very fun evening!,"This show is not for the faint of heart! If you're offended by raunchy humour involving graphic sex, racial slurs, and political incorrectness, this show is not for you.My boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed this show a great change from Cirque du Soleil. They pack you into a little tent outside of Caesar's Palace, and from there the show is a mix of acrobatics, burlesque, and inyourface, dirty comedy. I love that they are as inappropriate as possible and incorporate the audience. We were sitting in the 4th row, and the performances are right there. I'm talking about tightrope walkers literally right over your head.I would probably not recommend this show to my parents, although there were some in their 50's and 60's the target audience is 21 and most seemed to be in their 30's." +Attraction,Date of experience: February 2015,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Hilarious!,"I first heard about this through my hair dresser who had just been to it, so when I went I thought, ""why not"" And I am SO glad I did! This show is a quaint, racist, offensive, rather unique, hilarious, one of a kind event that takes place under the big tent! I had so much fun and was constantly laughing almost to the point of crying! If possible, I would totally go see this show again! But as a warning, if you get offended easily, this is not the show for you. The seating was fun too, some folding chair on the floor with up higher were bar stools and tables, some places were even big comfy chairs." +Attraction,Date of experience: July 2015,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,LOVED this show!,"We had originally intended to see Zumanity, but long story short, ended up with tickets to see Absinthe instead. I am SO GLAD we did! It was so, so, so, so much fun ... my husband loved it. We were amused even before the show even started because everyone we met felt they needed to ""warn"" us about the nature of the show the adult theme, the language, etc we felt we'd be in for something totally crazy with all the warnings no worries we are WELL over 21 years old and can handle whatever is thrown at us, LOL. It was totally unusual from the moment we stepped inside their tent super intimate, seating VERY close together, well themed kind of depressioneraish circus revue ish. Can't explain it. It was hysterically funny, very much so. It was completely crude, rather raunchy, and definitely not for the prudes but it was so funny. And amazing athletic acrobatics wow. Incredibly talented performers. A bit of burlesque, some oldschool striptease, humour, acrobatics, music, dancing ... really, it had it all and I'd most definitely see it again and highly recommend it. Except if you are easily offended by sex/racial/political humour then stay away, Everyone else: go!" +Attraction,Date of experience: July 2015,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Low Class Garbage,"See Jersey boys, Love, One, La Reve, Etc. This show was by far the low point of a great fun week. Loved Vegas and the other shows. Wouldn't be surprised if they close this junk. Props to the acrobatic performers but the racist MC is the major turnoff. Three big guys next to our group said they would of liked to punch him in the face. Too bad a show has to resort to racist and homophobic poor taste jokes " +Attraction,Date of experience: June 2015,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Lowbudget performance,"We went to Absinthe based on a recommendation by our driver and because so many people on Tripadvisor said how awesome it was.I am VERY surprised at how many people thought it was the best show in Vegas and would go back when there are so many AMAZING productions in this town.The performers were very talented and the raunchy, offensive humor was funny. We purchased the VVIP tickets and paid 146 each for the best seats in the house.No, we were not on the front row where you will very likely be the target of racial, sexist, homosexual or other offensive jokes throughout the show. We were seated on a raised platform in section A. Not only did we have a great view the theater is very small but we weren't packed in like sardines on very narrow folding chairs!!! Our section had a small table between two chairs so we had space to breathe. If you purchase the basic seats in the house, be prepared to be shoulder to shoulder and hip to hip with other guests.I witnessed a 6'4 very large black man trying to figure out where to put his arms when the 200lb woman sat down next to him! Everyone looked squished unless you happen to be very small.I do not want to discount the talent of the performers, but since the tickets to Absinthe are the same price as some of the more amazing productions, I would recommend spending the money on a different show." +Attraction,Date of experience: June 2015,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,"Excellent performers in great setting, but the bullying is stupid","The performers were great, and the intimate setting was great, except be prepared to be crowded with no space to move during the show. Some of the acts were fantastic. Some were just okay. The cohost Penny Pibbets played a hilarious character, mostly poking fun at her own eccentricities. Then there's the The Gazillionaire a grumpy, aging, foulmouthed, jerk. He's very amusing when doing parodies of Cirque or teasing the other performers. It is even worth a few chuckles when he pokes fun at gays, lesbians, Asians, blacks, and nerdy white guys. That's his character, after all. We can all suspend being politically correct and have a good time. But his merciless, nonstop homophobic and racist humor gets old when he picks on the same few people in the audience the entire show. It isn't necessary, even for this character. For us, it detracted from the show and eventually made us want to leave. That's a shame, because there are plenty of ways to keep the humor going without bullying the same few audience members the entire show. That part was a total failure of imagination and creativity." +Attraction,Date of experience: June 2015,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Filth and frolics,"Just seen this show in Brisbane, Australia. Terrific fun and talent on display. The hosts were hilarious, very rude, noholds barred and don't sit at the front if you are easily offended or don't want to be picked on! Super strong and sexy performers from around the world; acrobats, muscle men, tightrope walkers, burlesquestyle dancing. Very entertaining all round; this is essentially a series of standard circus acts presided over by a foul mouthed compere and his sexobsessed assistant. Highlight was the comedy double act performing a routine badly, low light probably the female singer who was a little weak. Some audience members were offended at the very sexual and racist hosting we thought it was hilarious!!!" +Attraction,Date of experience: May 2015,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,If you have time for one show make this it,"Foul, raunchy, racist but truly entertaining! The gymnast both male and female were amazing. Seats are definitely tightly packed but stage is mostly elevated so overall good views. Just a fun hour and 45 minutes." +Attraction,Date of experience: February 2015,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Intimate Exciting Different Great Price,"We have probably seen over 10 Las Vegas shows, not singers, but more Cirque du Soleil, Blue Man, etc... and we were a little nervous attending a show we had not heard anything about. Wow what a surprise. The variety of the acts and uniqueness was incredible.Now for the helpful advice that all of our reviews provide:1. The venue is a small tent that is located in front of Caesar's Palace hotel. Being small and that it is a tent and round almost any seat is a great seat. The almost phase is because of the front row seats. If you get nervous about having roller skates coming by your head maybe 3 feet away going about 20 mph than do not go front row.2. The MCs host and hostess for the Absinthe are incredibly funny, but it is very adult, sexual and racist/political humor. Note the racist humor is not directed at any race ALL are equally made fun of.3. There seminude performers.Enjoy It is one show we would see twice!" +Attraction,Date of experience: April 2015,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,"So much potential, but it went too far","I'm a fan of funny as much as the next guy. I enjoy listening to Andrew Dice Clay, or anything the south park creators do. So when the Gazillionaire started making racist jokes, at first it was funny. But then he probably spent about 10 minutes making fun of this poor woman in the front row for being asian. One joke, fine. two jokes, even better. 10 minutes of joke, annoying. The performers themselves were great. The tap dancers and the bodyguards were the highlights for me and my wife. The singing was mediocre. The show would be great without the host. I advise strongly not sitting in the front two rows if you don't want to be repeatedly made fun of. If i could turn back time, i would go see a different show." +Attraction,Date of experience: April 2015,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,A little overpriced but funny as heck,"Imagine an amazing Cirque show with incredible ""stunts"", with the performers sexy and scantily clad, but instead of an annoying silly clown b/w acts, a dorky, perverted guy making sexual innuendos and racial jokes. This is not for the easily offended. But for everyone else it's hilarious. The chairs are horribly uncomfortable and are too close together. Drinks are way overpriced. So I recommend you get the seating at the back of the tent at a table, is so small you can see everything from there, have some drinks somewhere before you go, and bring your own bottle of water if it's hot out. " +Attraction,Date of experience: March 2015,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Good Bad,"The venue was great, you are seated close up to the acts. Loved the tap dancing, tight rope walking, and acrobats; but the host and cohost left a lot to be desired. The racial and sexual slurs where nasty, crude, and vulgar. Next time in town, maybe David Copperfield!!!" +Attraction,Date of experience: March 2015,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Good News/Horrible News,"This started out as an enjoyable experience. The tent where the show is held is adorable and convenient as it is on Caesar's property. But it turned out the show was a mixture of amazing talent and horrendous cohosts. The acrobats were mindboggling, the stripper/singer/dancers were adorable and talented. THe tap dancers were world class and the tightrope walkers were great. HOWEVER, between each of these acts, a man and his female cohost came out and did the raunchiest, nastiest routines I have ever heard. Besides the fact that she constantly pretends to be playing with herself, the banter is vulgar and demeaning. It is not dirtyfunny, it is disgusting. The racial and sexual orientation remarks to members of the audience are embarrasing and overthetop horrible. I never saw so many grown men squirming in their seats, with a look of horror on their faces. I feel sorry for the talented acst who perform here that they are associated with such an opposite barrage. I live in a tourist town and have seen just about any act you can think of but this one left me wanting to go home and take a shower!!" +Attraction,Date of experience: March 2015,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Racism veiled in humour,"Skilled performers YesFunny yes , most of the timeHumiliating and racist Yes if you are a closed person" +Attraction,Date of experience: March 2015,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Very entertaining,"This was an entertaining show but a bit over the top. The performers were very talented and had you at the edge of your seat during some of the acts. The host was picking on people, and he was making racist jokes, so if you aren't into hearing that kind of stuff I'd say skip it. I didn't enjoy those jokes and prayed to God he didn't pick on me. Being that worried does not exactly make a show enjoyable. Several couples and groups of people did walk out though when he was picking on different ethnicities which speaks for itself. The performers made the show though we didn't know what to expect and honestly didn't have an opinion on it until the next morning. We all agreed the host crossed the line and was highly inappropriate at times but also very funny at times." +Attraction,Date of experience: February 2015,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Absinthe/Las Vegas,"Wow, what a truly original and funny show. We've seen a couple of cirque shows, a couple of burlesque type show, and we wanted something a little different, and this did not disappoint. As previously stated if you are easily offended, don't even bother, but if your up for a great time, don't mind racial jokes made at the expense of every race, don't worry white people, your not left out LOL, political jokes, and can laugh at yourself, you will LOVE this show. My wife and I caught the Saturday night early show back in late February, and boy did we enjoy it, I was a little concerned because my wife is a little conservative, but I haven't seen her laugh that loud and that much in a long time. We still repeat some of the lines we heard, and we both almost start crying with laughter all over again. Performances are breath taking, and the performers are beautiful both female and male. It's a great adult evening, sexy, racy, and just downright fun, I highly suggest, and both my wife and I agree that we will definitely see it again. Not a bad seat in the house, but we did notice that the first few rows were picked on a bit more, but I found that the seats a little bit away from the center were a bit better because you didn't have to have your head tilted up as much. Go enjoy, let loose, and just have a great adult evening." +Attraction,Date of experience: February 2015,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,AWESOME,"like most people have said, if u don't like swearing , racist jokesall in fun or stereotypical jokes.. then this is not the show for you, but it was the best show I've seen in vegas so far. my stomach hurt from laughing so hard! the cast were awesome, the tent is a little small ur sitting really close to everyone but its so worth it." +Attraction,Date of experience: February 2015,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Crazy funny,"If you don't like four letter swear words, don't go. If you don't like racist jokes, don't go. If you don't like sexual references, again maybe this show isn't for you. Otherwise, go and have a great time. The show is a mix of acrobatics and some very crude humor from the MC and his side kick. Went to see the show on a Friday night, the theater was packed. The crowd had a great time, everyone was laughing. The seats are not the most comfortable, but once the show starts you will have a blast and forget about the cheap metal folding chair you are sitting on that is tie wrapped to your neighbor.

The performers did some of the most unique, crazy and fun acts that we've every seen. The venue is very small, basically a tent in the front of Caesars. The chairs are metal and very, very tight quarters. It's theater in the round so don't worry too much about where you sit as they are basically the same. This is not a show for anyone that would be offended by racial, ethnic, religious, sexual orientation, political comments or foul language! Don't take a first date to this show!" +Attraction,Date of experience: January 2015,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Don't take your mother!,"Probably not good for a first date either. Here's a test: Do you get slightly embarrassed when Viagra commercials are shown on TV If your answer is ""yes"" DO NOT go to this show. There is enough vulgar, raunchy, racist humor in this show to last a lifetime. The thing that saves this show from itself is that everyone is equally insulted. I won't rewrite what others have written...it's all true and it's a great show if you have thick skin. A little about the venue: It's quite small and decorated to look like a ramshackle circus. It's kind of like your great, grandmothers attic threw up and it all landed inside this tent. The most important advice I can offer and don't be offended by this, it's for your own good if you are overweight, call the ticket office for seating advice. The chairs are a mishmash collection of old folding chairs one right next to the other. Skinny people are wedged in like sardines. Most of the chairs are HARD. You will not be comfortable but you will be laughing so hard you will forget that your butt hurts. There are a few chairs around the upper rim of the theater that could be better for a larger person. But from a view standpoint, I don't think there is a bad seat in the house. There are probably only 20 rows from front to back. You are VERY close to the action." +Attraction,Date of experience: January 2015,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Discussing..foul..UNGODLY,I suppose I have ptsd after attending this show.The MC and his supposed sister ruined our evening.

Crude, Rude, Sexist, Racist, and TERRIBLY FUNNY. It is an unapologetic exploration into the very things that make you uncomfortable and make you laugh hysterically in spite of yourself. It's OK here to be inappropriate, unpolitically correct, and marvel at the outstanding dance, aerial acrobatics, singing, strength feats, and beauty of the female form. It is burlesque. It is comedy. It is a circus. It is AMAZING.The seats are hard and you WILL be close to your neighbors. Do NOT invite someone you are not sure if they would like this.

The sexual overlay for the acts is offered with tight smiles and isn't too distracting. The one brief comedy piece that spoofs Cirque du Soleil is hilarious. The MC and his female sidekick, however, are broadly and pointlessly crude and racist with no wit at all. At one point I noticed people leave. This is the point in my original Tripadvisor review where I laid out in simple, clean language, using one legal term, the gist of a particularly crude riff that the female sidekick addressed to a male audience member as a faux remembrance of a disordered relationship, in order to give you the true flavour of the lack of wit practiced in this show. The word picture violates Tripadvisor's guidelines, however, and they have a point, as the imagine she painted of destruction and violation sticks in my head. The racial ""comedy"" ran on the lines of black men have large penises and white men aren't able to dance in a manner sexually enticing enough for Asian women. Not at all entertaining. Personally, I'd retain your self respect and see something else." +Attraction,Date of experience: January 2015,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,One of 10 WORST,"The show sold out the night we wanted to go, and was ""dark"" until Wednesday night. We waited 2 days, anticipating a wonderful night. We were paying quite a bit more than for other shows we had seen this trip. We were incredibly disappointed. The comics running the show used extremely racist comments over and over again that would offend just about every person in the audience. There was absolutely no ambiance to enjoy. The ""seating"" included ancient folding chairs and the ""building"" was similar to old drafty barns. My companion pointed out that one chair must have been salvaged from a church as it had a ""kneeler"" mechanism on the back. We did arrive about 5 minutes late, the show had already started and they GAVE OUR SEATS AWAY! We paid quite a lot for those seats, and instead were told that we were getting an ""upgrade"". The ""upgraded"" seats were extremely uncomfortable and the legroom almost nonexistent. I made a point to go check out the seats we paid for, which had a much better view and more leg room. If I could have read a review like this one, I would not have wasted my time. The acrobats were pretty good, but we did not really enjoy our seats, we finally got up and moved. The comics continued racist humor detracted during key portions of the acrobats performances. All in all, I would NOT recommend wasting your vacation dollars to see this show. Instead, try some of the higher caliber LV shows that are thoughtfully designed for the audience's comfort and enjoyment. As the MC joked, you have to be really drunk to enjoy Absinthe and if you are sober the experience is excruciating. My opinion is that he wasn't really joking!" +Attraction,Date of experience: January 2015,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Not sure its the Must see show,"They advertise this show by saying ' If there is one show you must see while in Vegas, this is the one "" Saw this show on 1/3/15. 8 P.M. It is at Caesars but actually outside of the front entrance . It is in a heated tent and in the round. The area is certainly intimate and not a bad seat in the house. However, the seats are old metal chairs sort of tied together, and they are not comfortable . They state that if you are a prude or thin skinned or easily offended this is not the show for you . It was a fair warning. I tended to like the not politically correct attitude displayed by the emcee and his female co host . Refreshing actually in these times when the most blandest statement seems to spark a lawsuit. It is sort of like a circus with act after act, coming to the small center stage . The acts, everything from tight rope walkers to tap dancers and some super gymnastic type routines, certainly do entertain. Each act lasts just a few minutes with some off color bantering by the Emcee in between acts . He can be very funny and his off color racial remarks are spead across all skin tones equally . There is a good amount of skin on display but the pasties are in place . The mockery of the Cirq shows was a very funny routine . Paid just over 100 per seat, not sure its worthy of that price but it seems to command the price and there are never any specials run for any discounts that I have seen." +Attraction,Date of experience: December 2014,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Sooo fun!,"this was one of the funniest most creative show I've ever seen in Las Vegas.

Everyone gets teased by the MC so if you don't like foul language, racist and racy jokes, lots of beautiful boobies....don't go. If you want to laugh your butt off, do go! Some have seen this multiple times. I will certainly try to go again on my next visit." +Attraction,Date of experience: December 2014,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Don't go if you are not okay with crude humour!,"Amazing show for adults. It was racist, has nudity, very sexual and hilarious. Had a walk out, but not sure if it was staged. Highly recommend for those who can handle it!" +Attraction,Date of experience: December 2014,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,The best show I have ever seen!!!,"This is awesome for all the right reasons. It is hilarious and the ""billionaire"" host is constantly harassing everyone and his french is ... well, it is the funniest I have ever heard, and the acrobatics are world class!To quote a one star review to explain why I love this show: ""This is one of the most disgusting and morally depraved shows I have seen in a long time!!! If you like lesbianism, sexually explicit jokes, racism,topless women, and all out raunchy behavior and four letter words ...""" +Attraction,Date of experience: December 2014,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,raunchy fun,"I loved this show. I've seen at least 5 Cirque shows now, including O, Beatles Love, and Mystere, and this was by far my favorite.First of all, the tent is very intimate. I was in the 4th row, but it seemed like there weren't more than 10 rows anyway. You get to see the performers up close.There was a lot of audience participation.It was very funny. It was very raunchy. There was not only a lot of racial and sexual humor I'm an Asian female, there were definitely jokes targeted towards Asians, but I was not offended, but there was also onstage kisses between two female performers and multiracial couples. The humor targeted whites, Russians, gays, lesbians, Asians, Jews, blacks and I'm probably forgetting some groups! Be prepared to put aside any political correctness you have before you sit down for this show; or else you are going to be in for a very uncomfortable evening!The cast was multiracial and extremely talented. Unlike other Cirque shows, my attention never lagged. I paid about 90 for my 4th row ticket via the halfprice ticket booth at 4Queens on Fremont Street." +Attraction,Date of experience: December 2014,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Best show in Vegas,"This is a comedy show and an acrobatic show with edgy humor throughout. The show was a great balance between comedy and acrobatics, I never felt bored because there was always something new and completely different than the previous act. It is blatantly racist to all races which I find funny." +Attraction,Date of experience: December 2014,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,OMG,"We sat front row VIP and became very nervous that we would be picked on, called up or perhaps worse. Pleased to say, none of these things happened though we were too nervous to enjoy our champagne which was included in our ticket price!! Excellent seats though. Very intimate theatre and for the best view you really do need to sit at the front but you could get picked on! I got the impression that most of the audience had seen this show many times before and were hoping to be picked on!!! This is a very rude show with lots of swearing and I can't even say racism because pretty much every race was picked on therefore it became very funny. I will not give anything else away but I'm very pleased we went, it was laugh out loud at times and I would definitely recommend it but be warned! Most definitely adults only!" +Attraction,Date of experience: November 2014,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Absinthe a little raunchy and racey,"The show was recommended to us by a couple we met on the strip. They warned us that it could be offensive to some. Raunchy dialogue and risque racist humour combined with acrobatic performances that were amazing. The show was off the wall but entertaining. You sort of leave the tent that is correct, its in a big tent outside of Caesars Palace feeling like you really enjoyed yourself but don't quite know what you just witnessed!" +Attraction,Date of experience: November 2014,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Raunchy awesomeness,"Like others, this isn't for the easily offended. Lots of cussing, insults, and generally politically incorrect jokes throughout the show i.e. racist, sexist, elitist probably any ""ist"" you can think of and some you couldn't. There was only one act I found particularly overthetop a soliloquy on oral sex given by Penny, but the rest of the show more than made up for this. The physical acts were amazing and entertaining; I liked it far and away better than CDS Mystere. At times I found myself holding my breath, and at others squeezing the heck out of my husbands thigh.We had a small table in front of Penny, and it was perfect. We didn't get singled out by the Gazillionaire but we just barely avoided this, yet still had unobstructed views. Honestly, given the small size of the venue, I doubt there's a bad seat in the place. I think the New York Times said it well: ""Imagine Cirque du Soleil as channeled through ""Rocky Horror Picture Show"" and painted by George Grosz. A blend of skill, erotic innuendo and zaniness. The memorable moments make a jaded audience literally gasp.""If you are even thinking about going, do it! You won't regret it." +Attraction,Date of experience: November 2014,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,You'll either love it or hate it no middle ground here!,"Incredible show with feats of balance and acrobatics that are as good as Cirque du Soleil, but also tongue in cheek burlesque. DO NOT GO if you are easily offended! There are intentional sexual insults and racial slurs that are across the board, not limited to one group, so everyone is equally poked fun at. It was one of the best shows I have ever seen, but I still can't believe ""they went there"". LOL I would definitely go back again." +Attraction,Date of experience: October 2014,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Overpriced but funny show,"Fortunately I wasn't paying the 109 ticket price for this show. Otherwise I'd have felt ripped off. The show is good but, it's not 100 good. The venue is out front of Ceaser's Palace in a building designed to look like a tent. It's a relatively small theater in the round. Seating is in cheap metal folding chairs packed tightly together. We had table seating in the back with 5 seats crammed around an impossibly tiny table. You just have to hope you're not sitting next to a plus size person. There is also an issue with support posts that can block your view.The best part of the show is the raunchy comedy. They are very funny if raunchy, sex laced comedy is your thing. If you're easily offended by sex, dirty words, references to sexual orientation or racial jokes this isn't the show for you.They offer a variety of acts which are all very good but, if you're accustomed to Cirque shows, this is definitely second or even third tier acts. There is no direct nudity but lots of scantily dressed performers and it's easy to tell the men's religion if you catch my drift. The show has a run time of 90 minutes with a cash bar inside but no restrooms as far as I could see. Like I said, nice show, funny if you're not easily offended but not worth the 100 ticket prices listed when we picked up our tickets." +Attraction,Date of experience: October 2014,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,"Hysterically, raunchy, tears running down my face funny!",Amazing acrobatic acts under old fashioned big top outside Caesar's Palace. Penny is so funny. Very adult derogatory humor. If bits about sex and racial jokes will offend you don't go. +Attraction,Date of experience: September 2014,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Fantastic Naughty Fun!,"This is not a show for the easily offended. There is swearing, sexual innuendo and racial prejudice, but all in fun and a very good laugh. Interspersed with this are fabulous acts, which are really Amazing in strength, and agility feats. If you want a good laugh and be thoroughly entertained, I highly recommend this show." +Attraction,Date of experience: August 2014,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Phenomenal!,"Absolutely amazing! With acrobats, tightrope walkers, thoroughly mental roller skaters, a woman inside a balloon, a foul mouthed compere and his nutty assistant.. all was perfectly performed and hilarious. Penny the assistant should have a show of her own, she looked and sounded like a Muppet on drugs, but she had the whole audience in stitches. The only people who won't adore this show are those who are offended by racism, sexism, ageism, classism or any other kind of ism! If you're not likely to take it in the humour intended then this would be a waste. If you get that it's all for the sake of humour and not to be offensive, you will howl from start to finish and be amazed by the immense talent shown by all of the performers!" +Attraction,Date of experience: August 2014,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Let me save you 300,"We spent 300 to sit in folding chairs and the show had no story. While a couple of the acrobatic acts were good, there was no connection to the namesake and the host/sidekick were not that funny. I see most of the reviews on here at very positive, but I just didn't get it. Unneccesarily crude, racially inappropriate and way too many sexually explicit references to be funny. They could have pushed the envelope half as far and it would have been funnier. Or perhaps if the show would have had any plot line they would have worked better. And in case you skipped the first part, folding chairs. Yikes, save your money. " +Attraction,Date of experience: August 2014,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Favorite show in Vegas,"This show is exactly as advertised, great circus acts without most of the pretense plus obscene humor. It was a great change of pace from the Cirque shows we usually attend, even if many of the acts were basically the same stuff we've seen many times before. The theater is very intimate, you are right on top of the stage and right on top of the folks sitting next to you. I loved the design choices and look of the whole space. I understand that the tight seating is a result of maximizing sales in such a small space, but it really is comical just how little room there is between rows. Airplane seating is 10x more spacious and comfortable. As far as the different sections, we sat in the lowest priced tier but ended up in the 6th row. After seeing the show, I can't see the value in the extra 50 just to be a few rows closers and have a tiny pad on the seat. If you are shorter and the only seating available is the last few rows it might be worth it.Since the seating is right against the stage you really get to see the pain/concentration in the performers faces and bodies during their performances. It's easy to lose sight of just how difficult what they're doing is since you know they perform the same thing every night, but when you see them shake and grimace you quickly realize how silly that thought is. Every act, with the exception of the bubble, held our attention from start to finish. Since most of the crowd was drunk/rowdy during our show they basically became another character in the performance. Their reactions made it seem like they were watching a sorcerer or alien on stage, much different from the more reserved response you get from the Cirque audience.Penny and The Gazillionaire offered some great laughs with their obscene humor. My wife was somehow shocked at just how far they took certain riffs, but I don't know what she expected given that is the show's MO. She wasn't offended, just surprised by the extent of the racist/sexual humor. Definitely be mindful of the people you are planning to attend with, I wouldn't spring this show on anyone without knowing for sure they won't end up offended/uncomfortable.Overall I would say this has been the best show I've attended in Vegas and would strongly recommend it to anyone who is interested in it after looking at their site and videos. If it sounds like you're kind of show, you'll love it." +Attraction,Date of experience: August 2014,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,"Hilariously inappropriate, but amazing!","I went with a group as part of prewedding activities and it was one of the highlights of the few days we spent in Vegas. It is everything that everyone says rude, crude, racially and politically inappropriate but my cheeks were hurting at the end from laughing so much. The skills of the performers are fantastic and being so close in the cosy tent made it even more amazing. The seating is tightly spaced, so make sure you don't need to move during the show but in all honesty you won't want to!" +Attraction,Date of experience: August 2014,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,GREAT SHOW,"While in Las Vegas we saw two shows. Absinthe and Zumanity, and if I had to recommend one, it would be Absinthe. While the Zumanity Theater was more comfortable, the Absinthe show was GREAT. I must note that if you are offended by racial jokes, extreme sexual jokes or cursing, this is NOT THE SHOW FOR YOU. But if you can roll with the punches you will enjoy the show. Also, if you sit in the front row, you will be picked on almost for sure. But really, no one is safe. They might pick on anyone. You will however sit on folding chairs that are hooked together so just be aware you will be close and cozy with the guy sitting next to you. We went on our 10 year wedding anniversary and my husband was laughing so hard he had tears streaming down his cheeks. So, Thank you Absinthe for making it a night to remember. " +Attraction,Date of experience: September 2013,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Best show in Vegas Dirty but hilarious,"We me and my beautiful wife both earlyish 30s, have seen most of the Cirques at this stage, and a few cabaret shows like Legends and Peep Show, and all are great but Absinthe is definitely the best. Hilarious from the beginning and will appeal to Irish and British, and East Coast, West Coast, and Some midwest crowd audiences in particular who like sarcasm and crude humour, with a bit of friendly harmless racism will lap it all up. Anyway, great show." +Attraction,Date of experience: August 2014,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,"Different, in a good way","As many have said, if you are easily offended by racial, political and extreme sexual vulgarity, then Absinthe is not for you. If you do find humor in these types of things, Absinthe provides a safe atmosphere to laugh at what typically would be considered inappropriate.But don't let that distract you, the talent of the performers can't go unnoticed. There is some real talent with some, not all, of these acts. No only are they very good at what they do, but they are doing it in such a confined space, that it adds some drama. This small space also gives the viewer a close and personal viewing experience from any seat in the house. We really enjoyed the show. TIP: reserve seats at a table in the back" +Attraction,Date of experience: July 2014,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,You must see when in Vegas!!,"My husband and I had the best time!!! Definitely a must see. BUT if you get offended easily or do not have a sense of humor don't bother. Lots of foul language F word included, racist jokes and lots of bare skin. We will def go see again next time in Vegas and feel it was well worth the money! " +Attraction,Date of experience: June 2014,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Great show if you dont offend easily,Absolutely hilarious show but in times racist and sexually forward. We loved it but some may take offense. Its a mix of comedy and circus acts all rolled into one. A must see! +Attraction,Date of experience: July 2014,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Highly recommend,"My husband and I went to see the show based on the recommendation of our taxi driver. It was hilarious!! We laughed so much and had such a good time through out the whole show.disclaimer It has tons of racist, sexual, and raunchy material.I read through some of the other reviews and some people complained about being racist. Well, if you can't laugh about it then you probably are a racist yourself. If you can stomach the humor it is a very entertaining show." +Attraction,Date of experience: June 2014,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Epic fail,"The acrobatic acts were very impressive which is why I am giving this two stars instead of 1 however we were left scratching our heads at the ""comedy"" aspect. Seemed to be lowest common denominator type jokes, racist etc but most of all overwhelmingly not funny.Should point out that we are a young couple and are not at all easily offended by bad language or sexual humour...hey we enjoy family guy, south park etc, but must admit we found the comedy rather lacking in any kind of depth or irony and in short a waste of money." +Attraction,Date of experience: May 2014,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Not a good value for money,"I agree with the other reviewers who said this was rude, and crude. Unfortunately, racist and sexist humor is not my favorite type of humor so I've deducted once circle for that. I'm surprised no one mentioned that the seats were fold up chairs, tied together at the legs so it was WAY TOO tight and cramped, with minimal leg room. My seat was bare wood and if I slouched even a bit, I slid forward. By the end of the evening, my tailbone was in much pain :The acrobatics were good but not spectacular. The price of this event is in the same range as Cirque du Soleil's O, and the acrobatics at O were significantly better. I also am generally not fond of shows with reluctant audience participation, and I felt bad for the three people who got pulled up to the stage and were requested to perform lewd acts for everyone's enjoyment.So fair value for money, poor seating, good but not spectacular acrobatics, combined with sexist and racist humor caused me to deduct two circles. If you are gay and/or not caucasian, you might want to skip this show. A minority of the jokes were funny." +Attraction,Date of experience: May 2014,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Beware: Pornographic Content!!!,"This is one of the most disgusting and morally depraved shows I have seen in a long time!!! If you like lesbianism, sexually explicit jokes, racism,topless women, and all out raunchy behavior and four letter words ... Than that is what this cirque du soleil meets trashy whorish performance! I can't believe it is rated almost 5 Stars!!! I would give it zero if I could!! Shows why our society is falling apart!! " +Attraction,Date of experience: April 2014,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Forget Cirque du Soleil this is the show to see in Vegas! Scandalous!,"After reading reviews and asking friends about this show, it was clear to me that I needed tickets. When I arrived in LV I spoke to other tourists and even locals about it and everyone who had seen it told me that I would absolutely not regret seeing it over any Cirque du Soleil show, as it's the hottest most scandalous show in town right now.The performances are absolutely incredible. I have been to Cirque du Soleil shows, and don't get me wrong I love them and they are incredible but this was a whole new league. I was literally sweating watching some of the acrobatic performances. When you see a 250 pound man walking a tight wire carrying a man in a chair, it's hard to keep your heart out of your throat! The performances are daring, sexy, scandalous and downright offensive at times! The host and hostess are wildly hilarious and if you sit anywhere near the front, be prepared to be insulted and made fun of!If you don't have a raunchy sense of humor, if you get offended by cwords, are offended by gay and racial humor, I wouldn't recommend this show. But if you like that type of humor, you will find yourself keeled over crying with laughter. I saw a few offended yuppie faces in the crowd who eventually were so offended they couldn't take anymore and left...but I would say 98 of the crowd would say it was one of the best shows they'd ever seen judging by laughter and facial expression.Go on bestofvegas.com to buy your tickets at a discount price! We had great seats and paid a fraction of the price about a month before the show. And it's a smaller venue so there is no bad seat in the house.Don't go with anyone you wouldn't watch a sex scene in a movie in front of or you will be more embarrassed than ever!" +Attraction,Date of experience: March 2014,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,My Two Cents Absinthe,"I went to see Absinthe on March 15, 2014 along with my wife and two of our good friends. I suppose the show could best be described as a Cirque de Soleil Burlesque Comedy Show mash up, but it was, without a doubt, one of the highlights of our Vegas Trip.Absinthe is staged just outside of Caesars Palace inside of what looks like a giant red and white tent, but do not let the modest venue fool you. There is a bar outside of the venue where you can grab a drink prior to the performance and additionally they do serve adult beverages inside the venue as well The inside of the venue is. how shall I put this. interestingly decorated with the stage in the center and the seating surrounding the stage for 360. Take some time AFTER the show, to really look around at some of the decorations. They will make much more sense once you have actually seen the show. I will stress that from what I could see, there is not a bad seat in the house and the venue is actually designed to feel quite intimate. Even from the back of the venue, the performers are still quite close and due to the fact that a good bit of the show is actually done above the stage during acrobatic performances, I cant imagine anyone complaining that they did not have a good view of the performers. I will also stress that the first few rows of seating are EXTEREMELY close to the stage. This show is written to involve the audience particularly those in the first 67 rows, so if you do not want to run the risk of being part of the show, I would suggest sitting further back in the venue.The show itself was spectacular; however, I will warn you that it will not be for everyone. The performance has a VERY sexual theme and the comedy is i racially/ethnically charged, ii sexually charged and iii EXTREMELY GRAPHIC. This is not to say that there is anything disgusting or disturbing, only that they really take a no holds barred approach to the comedy. I loved it and laughed almost nonstop during the comedy portions of the act. The master of ceremonies the Gazillionaire is hilarious and had impeccable comedic timing. That being said, I do understand that some people are what I would term easily offended and I will warn anyone who falls into that category to steer clear of this particular show. The other half of the show consists of gymnastic and aerial performances that are similar to some Cirque de Soleil performances. The performers are very talented, performing acrobatic acts as well as feats of strength and balance that were extremely impressive. I will not ruin the show for anyone by describing/giving away the acts, but I will say that many of the gymnastic acts had a sexual theme to them in line with what I might expect in a burlesque show. Nothing lewd, just erotic back and forth between the performers sometimes male/female, sometimes female/female. Again, I enjoyed myself immensely and was particularly impressed with the strength/balance acts.In conclusion, I really cannot speak highly enough about Absinthe. In comparison to some of the other Vegas shows out there, this was an absolute bargain and I would recommend it to just about anyone who enjoys a raucous good time!" +Attraction,Date of experience: May 2014,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Awesome...,"The show is awesome. No wonder it's been going so long. It's a foulmouthed, raunchy adult circus. Other performers are worried about boundaries; The Gazillionaire's character doesn't care. He's not racist; He picks on EVERYONE. If you're sensitive to overthetop insult comedy, be wary. Everyone else, you will struggle not to soil yourself laughing!The acts are top notch. You will be in awe.The ONLY pitfall here, is seating. If you're even a mediumsized person, you WILL be cuddling someone else. They moved us to the 'bathtubs', which had a slightly obscured view by one of the tent's arm.On a final note: If you plan on buying tickets the day of, thinking its safe because it's an old show, you're going to be in for a surprise. Do it AT LATEST the day before. We barely got tickets." +Attraction,Date of experience: April 2014,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,"Talent great, humor borderline offensive.","I knew the show was gonna be quirky and I was ready for that, the humor was borderline offensive and edging on racial and I'm a person that saw Zumanity by myself and loved it! I liked the tent concept and the smaller venue. Reminded me of theatre in the round from my college days in the 80's. Audience was involved but I felt the actor went to far in talking about some of the racially mixed couples in the audience. It is a pricy show. I suggest you see it and make your own decision. I'm glad I went, but I will not repeat." +Attraction,Date of experience: April 2014,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Disappointed is an understatement,"The acrobats are amazing, such control, but there are MANY shows in Las Vegas where you can enjoy that spectacle. APART from this talent Absinthe is the worst show we have ever seen! It was recommended by our hotel concierge who clearly has no idea what entertainment is. Our choices were David Copperfield, Elton John or Australian Bee Gees! How he could think Absinthe would come close to any these is beyond us. We paid for VIP tickets as we were told no other seats were available. There were at least 20 empty seats on the nights. The set up is in a tent where the wooden metal seats have seen better days. The stage is not much bigger than a child's garden trampoline. The main characters seemed to be one female one male, who are quite frankly appallingly lacking of any talent or class. We don't mind the profanity at all, however the context in which it was used lacked any humour. Racist personal insults seemed to be a main theme. We left before the end very disappointed to have wasted a precious evening in Vegas on this rubbish. You have been warned!!" +Attraction,Date of experience: March 2014,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Disgustingly fantastic,"You have to go into this show knowing that it's dirty, gritty, disgusting, offensive, and downright terrible in the BEST way.If you're easily offended, the humor is NOT for you. It's almost too raunchy even for me, and it makes the worst episodes of South Park look mild. But if that's your cup of tea and it is mine, it's absolutely hysterical. The characters are lovable, in their own disgusting, racist, offensive ways.The chairs and decor are all mismatched and probably stolen from yard sales and crappy antique stores. They're not very comfortable, but there's not a bad seat in the house. I prefer to get a table, because if you're close to the front of the seats, you WILL get picked on. Lots of audience, uhhh... participation Verbal assault Either one.It's a variety act, and all of the acts are incredible. The fact that they do their acts in a fairly tiny space just adds to the wonder and amazement. They're all terrifying, gravity defying, and honestly pretty freakin sexy.Every night the house cocktail is different. 10 a pop but you only need one to stumble out of there at the end. I've seen this show twice, and the first time, the drink was lemonade and vanilla vodka so gross but so strong, and last time it was OJ, orange vodka, grenadine, and amaretto. That one tasted a lot better and got me even drunker.All in all, if you can enjoy something that is absolutely trashy, you will find that Absinthe is a treasure." +Attraction,Date of experience: February 2014,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Extremely racist...so called comedy,"It's hard to put into words how racist and insensitive the comedy is in this show . My husband and I were speechless after we saw it. We experienced the awakening of deep wounds inflicted by racist white people that never seems to heal. When buying the tickets we were only told that there was nudity and foul language. Those things were mild compared to the assault inflicted on every person of color who had to mask the pain as they endured the verbal attacks behind so called ""humor"". The ""German"" and ""white guy"" humor didn't come close to the assaults done on the people of color. The laughter from the white people in the audience was as close as you could get to a southern lynching being witnessed by insensitive Klan members in the 1950's south. We have not come a long way. Some white people have found new ways to articulate their racist views by calling it ""humor""." +Attraction,Date of experience: February 2014,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Must see show in Vegas,Wasn't too sure what to expect before going to the show especially after seeing so many good cirque shows! From the minute we sat down till the minute we left it was absolutely HILLARIOUS and the acts were amazingly jaw dropping !! I've seen a lot of shows in Vegas and this is probably My favourite!! The host named gazillionaire was fantastic and reminded me abot of AliG !! If you don't mind rude jokes and a bit of racism definitely see this! +Attraction,Date of experience: February 2014,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Don't miss Absinthe,"If you are not bothered by a constant barrage of the fword or by listening to a woman describe in excruciating detail the act of fellacio or by a range of crude racial jokes, you should consider seeing the show Absinthe. If any of the foregoing bother you, then it would be best to stay home.Absinthe is presented in a tent in front of the Caesars' hotel and casino complex. The tent allows for seating in the round and the front row seats are only a few feet away from the performers. There are only about fifteen rows so there is not a bad seat in the house. Well, not a bad seat from the standpoint of sight lines. But ordinary folding chairs, some of which have no padding, are what your 80 or so per seat gets you for a place to sit. Fortunately, the show is so good that you will not notice when your rear end gets numb.Since I am not offended by raunchy humor and foul language, I found the entire show to be extraordinarily funny. And several of the circus acts were just spectacular, almost worth the price of admission in themselves.Absinthe definitely deserves the accolades it has received for its' entertainment value. It is definitely worth seeing." +Attraction,Date of experience: July 2013,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Fantastic!!!,"I have never seen my husband laugh so hard! It is rated R so please do not bring children, and you can definitely be offended very easily, so if you are an uptight person who cant take very dirty jokes, or handle racial humour, do not go, its not for you!But what makes this show is the hosts and the unbelievable circus acts!Even though its a bit more expensive it is completely worth it. We actually tried to go once more while we were there but it was sadly sold out!Enjoy though, and prepare to laugh! And if you sit in the front row, you may get picked on, just a warning!" +Attraction,Date of experience: January 2014,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Smart and entertaining,"Loved this!Sexist, a bit racist, raunchy and over the top with sexual innuendo but FUNNY. I was in tears laughing." +Attraction,Date of experience: January 2014,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,"Great show, but definitely not for the easily offended!","There are amazing stunt type acts and some so/so burlesque performances in this show. In between, it's filled with raunchy dialogue, foul language and racisttype jokes. Extremely politically incorrect. They are all made in good fun and don't leave anyone out. During our show, there were jokes about gay men, a black couple, a white guy, Asian woman, etc. So, if you are easily offended by that sort of thing, this is definitely not the show for you. Most of the things that were said made my jaw drop in disbelief. But, I did laugh a lot, too! If you sit up close in the first few rows, you might be called out and made fun of as part of the show. You also may get wet as one or two of the performances involve water. If you don't want that to happen, sit further away. All the seats are good because it is an extremely small venue. DO NOT take children or even teenagers to this show. It's way too adult for them. You can take pictures as long as you don't use a flash. I recommend sitting at a table so you have a place to set your drink. The regular seats are very close together. I was much more comfortable at the table." +Attraction,Date of experience: January 2014,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Highly recommend,"Loved the show, laughed the whole time, like everyone else said chairs were awful, but worth it. Was a bit on the racist side, everyone in our audience were really good sports about it. We went with 2 other couples and were still talking about it the next day!" +Attraction,Date of experience: January 2014,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Salty,"If you're offended by raunchy humor, casual racism or boobies you probably don't want to go to this show. The show would be wildly inappropriate in most venues but for mature adults in vegas it fits perfectly. I laughed as hard as I've laughed for any show and the acrobatic acts were generally very impressive. Go to the show. You'll enjoy it. If you don't you're probably a prude and shouldn't be in Vegas anyway." +Attraction,Date of experience: December 2013,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Careful in the front row...,"I had seen a similar show to this in London La Clique and was looking forward to Absinthe. I wasn't disappointed the acrobatics on display in this show are breathtaking particularly the ssan duo. The pacing and length of the show was good overall, and the theater is great really good size you're never too far from the action and amazingly decorated.A few minor negatives were some of the comedy was unnecessarily crude I'm not easily offended either too much swearing and waayyyyy too much casual racism.Also, be prepared to be picked on if you're in the front couple of rows." +Attraction,Date of experience: December 2013,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Great Time,"My wife and I decided to see Absinthe after reading some of the reviews here and I am glad we did. I think the best part of this show is that it basically takes a little from the different types of shows in Vegas and mixes them all into one. You have the acrobatics, the comedy, and and a little of the ""adult"" shows all in one place. As stated here, if you are easily offended and are upset by racial stereotype jokes an/or four letter curse words this isn't the show for you.The only improvement I could suggest is the chairs are terrible. For what you are paying to see the show, the vast majority of the chairs are just uncomfortable wooden chairs and also a number of what looks like metal chairs that you'd see at a garage sale. I understand the tent is outside and not a permanent thing probably, but the chairs got uncomfortable quick.That all being said, this is a GREAT show and I would go again in a heartbeat." +Attraction,Date of experience: November 2013,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,"Sexy, Funny, JawDropping","Don't get fooled by the humble tent setup on the way into Caesars Palace. This is one of the best shows Vegas has to offer!It's cabaret like never seen before. If you get easily offended with racist and dirty jokes, this isn't for you.But if you enjoy nonstop laughing, along with classic sexy cabaret acts and gravitydefying numbers so close you can see their sweat dripping, this is a show you don't wanna miss!" +Attraction,Date of experience: November 2013,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Very adult and very close to the knuckle.,The show was fantastic very funny but don't go if you are easily offended or don't like remakes that could be construed as racist as every walk of live gets hit on in there. Comedy and circus all in one great show. +Attraction,Date of experience: August 2013,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Not your typical Vegas show,"We were on a girls weekend and decided to purchase 1/2 price tickets for this show. The guy at the 1/2 Price Tix stand described it as a cross between Cirque, Burlesque and Rocky Horror Picture Show. He hit the nail on the head! Located in front of Ceasar's Palace, It's a very small, quaint little venue, only 13 rows around a center stage, so you can see well from every seat. The MC and his side kick run the show with their vulgar, sometimes racist jokes and remarks in between different types of circus acts. Some of the acts are really good, talented, some not so much, but its really the MC's humor that gets people roaring in their seats. I laughed so hard, I was crying; however, looking at my girlfriends and people around me, not everyone felt the same way. Also, it's audience participation, so if you don't want to be pulled on stage, or made fun of, don't sit in the first few rows. I would recommend this show if you are looking for something different and not easily offended. I would not pay full price, though. If you can get 1/2 price tickets, then go." +Attraction,Date of experience: October 2013,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Why spoil the fun,"We decided to visit the big tent outside on a whim and bought VIP tickets for the early show.The venue was great and the decour was fantastic.The performers were fantastic however in my opinion the show was spoilt by the vulgar two hosts. They swore for the hell of swearing and to be honest I was disappointed in the fact that they ruined the show for the other superb performers.I found it racist, sexist, homophobic and very childish. Looking around the ring I found a lot of uncomfortable people squirming in their seats.Yes, it was funny in some parts but I wouldn't recommend it to others." +Attraction,Date of experience: October 2013,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Love the show...still not sure about the humor,"I adored most of the acts. The humor was quite offcolor lots of sex jokes, gay jokes, racist jokes, but somehow everyone seemed to think it was hilarious. I was a little shocked but I must just be too used to Seattle. I loved the intimate venue. It reminds me of Theatro Zinzannis in Seattle and San Francisco. The German skaters or the boy/girl aerialists were my favorite but I was relieved to not be in the first row. I would have been terrified. The one silks performer seemed angry, perfunctory, and very ungraceful. On the other hand, I have high standards for silks, coming from Seattle. Loved the skaters, the guy on the chairs, and all the performers except the silks person.The sock puppets I will, perhaps, remember forever." +Attraction,Date of experience: October 2013,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Best show on the Strip!,"I had heard great things about this show and it did not disappoint! So funny, so entertaining, great atmosphere. I can't say enough about Penny and the Gazillionaire. They are two amazing performers that absolutely worked the audience and made the night completely unforgettable. Warning this is only for adults. Openminded, unsqueemish adults! The humor is quite raunchy and cursing is everywhere from start to finish. But it is UNMISSABLE. If you can handle a bit of stereotyping, racist humor and some icky sex jokes then RUN to see this show." +Attraction,Date of experience: September 2013,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,You'll either love it or be really offended and hate it...,"We LOVED it. Absinthe is my favorite show in Vegas right now and the first show I recommend to all my friends visiting townbut I know they are not easily offended! If you are the type of person who takes things personally and find crude humor to be tasteless, don't go to this show! Go to the opera and live happily in your politically correct world! Go see O and take a nap. Absinthe is sexually vulgar, racially humorous though I found it to be good natured and not offensive, and also has some great acrobatic performances as well. There's a little bit of everything in this show including audience participation. Beware if you sit in the first few rows, you are fair game for the host to poke fun at you! The show takes place in an air conditioned circus tent outside of Caesar's Palace. We got table seats which were well worth it because the row seating looked cramped. There really isn't a bad seat in the house viewwise however. We got two glasses of champagne included with the table seats. The only inconvenience is you have to leave the tent and walk across a courtyard to get to the nearest restroom but that's about it. Really overlooked because of the provocative nature of this show is that the mini circus acts in the show are really as entertaining as a lot of the cirque shows in town. The funniest skit is one in which they parody the circus performers in clumsy and raunchy fashion. I couldn't stop laughing. There's also a skit where a beautiful woman carries in a huge bubble and then ends up topless inside of the bubble. What's not entertaining about that! I personally don't understand all the haters of this show. Why are they in Vegas You've been warnedif you can't be self deprecating at all and/or raunchy jokes make you squirm, don't spend the money on this show. If you enjoy off color humor, there is no better show on the planet right now except maybe for the Book of Mormon broadway show." +Attraction,Date of experience: September 2013,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Brilliant show but beware!,"Ok this show had me in stitches but only to other peoples expense. Basically if you are black, Asian or gay you will have racist remarks said about you and there is a lot of sexual comments. If you have an open mind then this show is brilliant. If you are posh and don't like seeing bulges and crotches then go see something else!!" +Attraction,Date of experience: September 2013,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Hilariously inappropriate!,"What a great show and just what you need to break up the monotony of Vegas. It is truly a variety show and does not follow a flow like other Vegas productions. We utilized the discount coupons that were being passed out early in the day as we could not find any online discounts. Get tickets anywhere in the theater. There are no bad seats and as other reviews mention...the higher priced seats are in the participation zone. We were told that we may bring in our own booze and I would recommend that for the 100 minute show. Also, use the bathroom before entering, as it is outside of the tent.Anything is fair game in the show and you should not see this without an open mind or a sense of humor that is slightly tilted. There's swearing, nudity or near nudity male and female, racism, sexism, politicism, and nearly a circumcision. The talent of the performers is inspiring and when you think for a minute of how close you are to the performers you kinda shudder in disbelief.We had a blast! The ""participants"" were very much into the act and had a great time! The black guy, the white guy, the Asian woman, the three gay guys and the high falootin' Republican couple took everything in stride and encouraged the degradation for everyone's amusement.I've seen most of the Cirque shows and a smattering of others. Absinthe is more bang for the buck and the most memorable of them all.Great adult fun!" +Attraction,Date of experience: August 2013,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Not That Entertaining,"After numerous trips to Vegas, we finally saw the Absinthe show. I left feeling like it would have been ok to never have seen it. My husband liked it a bit more than me. I had read reviews prior to booking tickets. I was prepared for the foul language, however, I didn't realize there would be some stripping, and so much sexual inuendo. Don't get me wrong I was not offended by this just not entertained. This show is definitely not appropriate for all ages and people. Lots of the jokes are very dirty in nature and are very verbally graphic. Again, not so much offended as I just didn't find it funny. It's WAY over the top. My grown children that were with us on the trip joked that we were about to witness ""soft porn"" a comment that I laughed off. Now that I've seen the show, I think they were right. Apparently they checked out some video online about the show and they knew what we were about to see. I only read reviews which mostly warned about the language lots of use of the Fword and racial slurs etc. The venue is very small and crowded similar to a tiny circus tent. So everything you see is very up close and personal. Now, for all the negative said, there were parts I thoroughly enjoyed. Some of the strength acts will blow you away! Two people roller skating on a tiny circular platform at 75 miles an hour amazing! There is a bit of magic, singing,dancing, trapeze, and various other acts mixed in. Just when I got to the point I was checking my watch to see how much longer before the show was over, something entertaining would take place on the stage. So, my suggestion is that you spend a little time looking at some videos online and judge for yourself. It really is a mixed bag. And far from being the greatest show on the strip! I'm glad my husband had the opportunity to see it something he has always wanted to do. He enjoyed it more than myself or our grown children. I would not ever go back to see this show a second time, and there are shows on the strip I have seen as many as three times because they are worth repeating. Not Absinthe!" +Attraction,Date of experience: September 2013,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Everything you want in a Vegas show.,"If you can't laugh at racial, sexist, political or even jokes thrown directly at you, then stop reading now. You can't handle this show. I've seen plenty of ""variety"" type shows, none nearly as good as this. The format is comedy mixed in between stunts, done by very attractive half naked performers. Basically everything you want in a Vegas show. On the stunts alone you will be Wowed MANY times with things you didn't think possible. You are brought right into the performers element of danger due to the size of the venue. An unassuming tent on the outside is turned into a beautifully themed show floor that sits almost 360 around the stage, and the farthest seat being maybe 30ft from the stage. The comedy is based mostly on audience interaction, playing on stereotypes. Simple idea, hilariously executed. So, don't sit in the VIP section if you don't want to be part of the show. Raunchy. Sexy. Funny. Stunning. Buy your tickets already." +Attraction,Date of experience: September 2013,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Hilarious Adults Only Variety Show,"We went to this show based on a friend's recommendation and it was one of the highlights of our trip. The humor is great as long as you are not easily offended by racial/sex jokes. They take a stab at just about everyone so don't think you're in the clear! The circus acts that they do at this show are great and the fact that you are in such a small intimate venue makes it even better. Add in the comedy and singing in between acts and it is just a great package. The only draw back is when the acts are not in the air it can be difficult to see depending on who is sitting in front of you. Apparently I went during 7 feet tall or higher night and had some giants in front of me. At 6'1"" I still had to bob and weave my head to get a glimpse of some of the action.

Do not come here with your family and do not sit in the front seats unless you want to be made fun of and harassed. The acrobats are awesome. There are great looking guys in this show and girls. They show a lot of skin but do not get completely nude. There are a lot of racist remarks and sexual acts, jokes and stories. Its great to go to with friends and people who do not get easily offended. The thing I didn't like is that its hard to see because its not stadium seating so the people in front of you block some of your view and the seats are very uncomfortable." +Attraction,Date of experience: July 2013,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Not A PC Show But Very Funny,"If you are a sensitive soul, this is not the show for you.

VERY raunchy show, with alot of racial and sexual humor. It was all very funny and I was singled out for several jokes, and the acrobatic displays were fantastic and also very funny. The venue itself is very small, and the stage itself is about a six foot raised circle that was three feet in front of me. I liked the front row seat because the seating was cramped and I liked the leg room. However, you would not need to spend so much 150 for a ticket and you would still have a great view. The theater itself is made to look like a vaudeville tent, with lots of props on the walls. The show host, the ""Gazillionaire"", and his female sidekick were very funny. The various acts trapeze, roller skating, balancing act, high wire, etc. were all well done. I recomment this show, but only if you will laugh at the raunchy hunor.

Set in a circus tent in a circle around the stage so no view is a bad view. The seats are extremely small and uncomfortable and I had a large lady next to me that was half on my seat as well so lucky I am small. The acrobatics in this show is unreal and to see the strength of them was amazing. Great mix of comedy and acrobatic stunts. The comedy is extremely dry humor and he says it at the beginning if u don't like swearing and racist humor u will hate this show. Had the audience in hysterics!!! Angel porrino also features in the show tap dancing in a big balloon.Hint if you don't like being picked on do not go for the VIP seating because more then likely you will have a joke said about you or even pulled up on stage +Attraction,Date of experience: May 2013,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Best show I've seen in Vegas!,"This is one of the best shows I've ever seen anywhere. For real. The acrobatic stuff is amazing and the burlesquestyle acts and numbers are fun, wellsung/performed, and sexy but not vulgar. Props to the crew as well for all the work they do clearing sets and stuff. Each act is unique and stunning. When some of the acrobatic acts start it's sort of like, ""oh, another one"" But each is different and pulls you in. I had chills and thought they were were very moving. Especially the asian dude and white womanvery emotionallydriven. If you think you've ""seen that"" on America's Got Talent, you haven't. These are amazingly crafted and performed acts. Loved the burlesque numbers. The Green Fairy has a beautiful voice. There is nudity but with pasties, and it is not tacky. Men are on display too, but not nude and more because of their acrobat custumes. Nowthe humor. It is raunchy, racist, and ribald. I loved it. The Gazillionaire emcee is a master at improv and skewering the audience ala Don Rickles. It was all in fun though and people were good sports. No word, sex act, or bodily function was off limits in their humor. I laughed out loud til I cried. I was in row D and you are right there. Like the first row is 2 feet from the stage. Don't sit there if you are at all scared of being skewered by the Gazillionaire. The only downsides are the crappy seats. I have never seen a cirque show so can't compare, but I think I would like this better from what I heard. I love this show and hope the performers/producers read this so they know how much I enjoyed it! I am telling anyone who comes to Vegas to see this!!!" +Attraction,Date of experience: April 2013,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Best show,"Excellent performers. The seating allows for all of the performances to be seen close up. Extraordinary talent with tightrope walkers, acrobats, rollerskaters, and more. Amazing, sexy, unique, and everything needed for a memorable Vegas show. Comical, but not meant for anyone offended by sexual jokes, cussing, or vulgar humor. Some of the joking border lined ""corny"", being overthetop with the explicit sexual comments, but somehow it actually added to the humor. The comedy act using audience members was outlandishly funny. An elderly lady was placed sitting in a chair onstage while two men from the audience did ""lapdances"" for free beer. She was a good sport and laughed she got free drinks too. Racial and political humor also used, so don't go if this offends you. Otherwise, this is a must see show." +Attraction,Date of experience: March 2013,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Outrageously funny !!!!!,"I travel to Vegas 3 times a year and have seen almost every show there. I had never seen Absinthe because I was a little skeptical about the whole circus tent thing. But it was absolutely the funniest show I have seen in many years. Laughing so hard that my stomach hurt. It is true what everyone else said about being offended. If you dont like jokes about racial stereotypes and sexual subject matter, do not go. If you are an openminded adult who likes to laugh, definitely go see it. Also from a price standpoint, it is a bargain by Vegas standards.

I don't remember the last time I have laughed that hard for that long. Not only was the show comedically genius, but the acts were very talented also and on par with Cirque branded shows.

While the entertainers acrobats, roller skaters, comedians, aerialists,etc were fun to watch and very talented, the guy and gal that served as emcees were the most foul mouthed people I have ever heard and I was a Navy guy. Every connotation was either about some part of the human body, sexual act, or a racist remark. At one point I turned to a few other people I came with and told them I was going outside and to call me when they were ready to head back to our hotel. They remainded me this was Vegas and at least the entertainers were good. I would never go back to a show like this nor would I recommend any intelligent thinking person attend this show until they get rid of the 2 emcees." +Attraction,Date of experience: February 2013,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,hooo boy... you had better not be a prude!!!,"We really enjoyed being a part of this crazy funny circus like show.. It all takes place in a tent and we entered thru the phone booth!! Unless you have money to burn, however, do not upgrade as it is a joke. The seats were horrendously uncomfortable and much too close together. They are wooden chairs and connected so that you cannot move them. Upgraded means you get a little table and you are not squished in... That said, we laughed our heads off and were amazed at the talent in the acts. If you are easily offended, this is NOT the show for you .Language, material and equal opportunity offenders, political, racial humor ,,, its all here... And we laughed and laughed...bring your own cushion !! and see if you can get an aisle seat. you have been warned... if you like this kind of humor, you will love the show... " +Attraction,Date of experience: February 2013,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Great Acts but the Banter of the Gazillionaire and Penny was not Funny,"This is my second attempt at reviewing this show. The first was rejected by Trip Advisor because it was too graphic in its description of the Gazillionaire and Penny's acts. Apparently, they thought it was obscene and that is the nub of the problem with the show. The reviews of this show are mixed: people either love it or hate it. My wife hated it, and if she could have left early she would have done so. I thought it is a great concept but the show overplayed its hand. Here's the problem with the show. The acts are fabulous. They perform right in front of you in a very intimate setting and that is nothing short of spectacular. The acts include a strip tease, contortionists, trapeze, a beautiful make/female ""duet"" on a bungee chord which was a ""wow"" by any standard, a beautiful lady who puts herself into a giant balloon you have to see it to believe it, a tightrope act, an hilarious duo spoofing Cirque shows, and more. It is a fast 90 minutes. The problem resides in the emcee and his sidekick, Penny. It wasn't the constant use of the ""f"" word, gay humor, racist remarks, scatological remarks and the like that bothered us. Kathy Griffin has made a career out of this and she is hilarious. The problem is that in striving to be funny, shocking and overthetop, they left the ""funny"" part backstage. Their act was crudity for the sake of crudity. You were supposed to laugh because they were being crude and many did. My wife called it ""high school locker room humor."" And after a bit it just got dull; a onenote song. Every other word was profane and in extremely bad taste. We felt the same way about Jon Lovitz when we saw him a few years ago; in his attempt to be funny by being crude and profane, he just wasn't. We were supposed to laugh simply because he was crude and profane. Perhaps it is a generational thing because the younger folks in the audience perhaps those closer to high school locker room age thought it was uproarious and they raved about it as we exited the tent. Me I thought that this could have been a sensational show if only the emcee and Penny and especially the emcee had been comedians instead of slash and burn offensive for its own sake. In their defense, I will say that Penny was genuinely funny on occasion. So my bottom line is that the price you will pay for seeing the amazing acts in an intimate venue is the banter of the emcee and Penny that in many respects just isn't funny. Of course, if you are offended per se by the types of humor described above, or constant use of profanity, then you should avoid this show because you will be offended." +Attraction,Date of experience: October 2012,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Might be the best show on The Strip and I've seen them all!,"Absinthe at Caesars Palace might be the best show I've ever seen in Las Vegas, and that's saying alot as I've seen them ALL!! This is Cirque meets comedy show meets cabaret.I really wasn't sure what to expect, as this show is not advertised much and there aren't many helpful reviews on the web. But, since it was the only show we've never seen in Vegas, I bought tickets and we were off to Caesars. 1st things 1st.....I'll save you some calorieburning with this tip: the show is held in the ""tent"" OUTSIDE of Caesars Palace. We walked through the entire casino in Caesars before we finally asked for help and realized we actually had to go outside and enter the ""tent"". Obviously, it's not as classy as most theaters, but don't let that turn you off. When buying tickets, there really is not a bad seat in the house. This is coming from someone who is VERY picky about seats. There are only a few rows of seats 11, if I remember correctly, so unless you are blind, you will be able to see the show well regardless of where you sit, or how tall you are. The venue is rather small, compared to others on The Strip. The seats in the theater are regular, wooden, foldaway chairs. You know, the kind you sit on at a backyard bbq. They are not comfortable or glamorous, but once the show starts, this won't bother you one bit. Show was hilarious both husband and I were cracking up. However, if you get insulted by sexist, racist, political or fat jokes, DO NOT go. We are openminded individuals from NJ/NY, and were not insulted at all. We understood that the show was meant to entertain, not insult. If you don't understand that, you probably shouldn't go. Acrobatics were great comparable to Cirque shows. There are some really talented performers in this show. Tickets for this show are MUCH cheaper than Cirque shows on The Strip. If you are low on cash, but want to see a show, this is the one for you. Show is about 90 minutes, without intermission.

Wife and I don't gamble so we go to many shows during our stays in Vegas. We have been to all of the Cirque du Soleil shows. Absinthe is the complete opposite of Soleil but in the best possible way. Absinthe does not try to dazzle the audience with expensive stage design but rely the heart of entertaining; the performers. It is an adult show. Foul language and ""intimate"" performance are regular here. The acrobatic are right in your face as you are sitting right in front of the stage. We were fortunate to be sitting on the second row, however, there are only a total of 9 rows in total. Any seat is really a great seat. The comedy is very racial and rude but honestly, it is much better than all the other robotic routine on the strip. We went with a group of 10 and I can say for a fact that everyone found something they enjoy. The guys loved the sexy and adult humor part while the girls loved the cute muscular performance flying on stage.All in all, this is a show that has lots of heart. After many robotic production show, this is definitely a good place to be to enjoy a fantastic night with your friends and loved ones.

The tent is located outside of the main entrance to Caesar Palace. It is small and all seats are great. Row G has the step up from the main floor. However, the chairs are narrow and compacted.

The atmosphere is really unique in a tent outside of Ceasar's Palace. The seating is just plain ole wood folding chairs as well as church pews and a couple of small tables around the edges. It's a very intimate setting with a theater in the round performance. The show includes really vulgar, sexist, racist, anyist kind of comedy that you can think of. In short, no one gets away, rather, it's an ""equal opportunity"" bashing that is quite funny. If you show up with an open mind and a drink in hand, you'll really enjoy it. The acrobatics and choreography is lovely and a couple of the acts will definitely leave you openmouthed.

All the seats are folding chairs tied together so you will be in contact withyour neighbors. This is my only complaint. All seats have a good view, buy the cheapest sestseat available .

Expect graphic descriptions of sexual acts, some of them in pantomine!, and expect members of the audience to be singled out as homosexuals, republicans, etc. for the duration of the show. If you're seated in the front row, you have a good chance of being picked on, though really no one is safe. African Americans, Asians, caucasian hipster types: all targets.That being said, I haven't laughed so hard for so long for as long as I can remember. It wasn't just the champagne either. The slimely Gazallonaire and his pottymouthed sidekick Penny are hilarious and their timing is excellent. Between their dirty skirts you'll witness sexy cabaret, some amazing strongmen, trapzee and balancing acts and a greasedup woman and her giantsized balloon. I'll say no more as I don't want to ruin it for you! The bad news is that the seats ARE uncomfortable and they ARE close together. Those drunk 60 yearolds behind you are going to be awfully close to your ear.

The acrobatic acts are spectacular and there's really something to be said for seeing them up close rather than on a distant stage. Gives you a whole new appreciation for the performers' strength and skills. I purchased our tickets the day of at one of the Tickets 4 Tonight booths.

The audience was roaring in laughter, and nearly all the reviews are excellant, so perhaps I am just too sensitive. I agree the acrobats were fantastic, and that was what I had requested in purchasing these tickets. And the female singer had a most beautiful voice. We just were not ""warned"" of the rest of the content. Also, the seats are all wooden folding chairs, hooked closely together, and my friend had horrible back pains for most of the show and the next day.

To me this is what Vegas is all about... not roller coasters and family fun photos in front of replica landmarks. It exactly what all the other reviewers said it is... rude, raunchy, racist and sexual. The ""bizillionair"" is the host and he is a perfect fit for the tone of this show. The girls are beautiful and amazing. The men perform feats of strength and balance that are awesome. Its a small tent so most if not all seats give a great view.

The theatre is a small circle and it would be hard to end up with a bad seat in the house. The humor is certainly and adult and certainly dips into the racist and crude without even a sense of clever several times. The characters all play their parts well and while the backstory gets to be corny you will be laughing all the same. There is certainly a fair share of scantly clad women and a few times men about which never hurts. Some of the acrobatic stunts are truly amazing and they have some really talented athletes working on the show. With the small theatre size it is certainly is very enjoyable in that aspect. Overall its a show that provides some crude comedy with some amazing fits of strength and is something I would highly recommend to most visiting vegas! +Attraction,Date of experience: July 2012,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Excellent but not politically correct!,"I saw Absinthe and I had a great time.

I was desperate to see a show whilst I was in Vegas and I had heard little about any of them. We had a choice between Zumanity and Absinthe we bought our tickets from the ticket booth on the strip and they were helpful and a bit of saving. The guy at the desk gave us a knowing nod and said we would enjoy absinthe....Crude, rude and brilliant would sum it up. We laughed hysterically at the compere and thought the comedic interludes really broke up the acrobatics and made it more of a show. It could definitely offend the more conservative audience members and a lot of the jokes were borderline racist and homophobic but imagine Wolowitz from The Big Bang Theory doing stand up, you just can't take it too seriously. The actual physical stunts and performances are exceptionally good. I won't spoil it for anyone but you get about 8 different performances and they vary from novelty burlesque to tests of strength.Just give it a go from what my friends said it is unlike any other cirque show." +Attraction,Date of experience: May 2012,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,The BEST show i've ever seen in Vegas!,"We've been to Vegas many times over the last 10 years, having seen most, if not all, of the headline shows, which have provided entertainment that cannot be matched anywhere in the world. Absinthe is new in Vegas, located at Caesars Palace in a newlybuilt circus tent. Being a variety performance circus act, we were looking forward to comparing with the other acrobatic, Cirque du Soleil shows that have practically taken over the Vegas night scene. This not only matched up to all of the highproduction Cirque du Soleil shows, it bettered them. Our front row seats gave us an intimate and involving experience with all the highwire acts, as well as the witty, hilarious comedy performance of the Gazillionaire. The acts were daring, dangerous, as well as being erotic and funny. It had everything, including the adorably filthy Penny who provided some of the best standup comedy iv'e ever heard. Don't get me wrong, its not for everyone. If you're the sort of person who cringes at sexual humour or erotica, or even racial humour, this is not the show for you. It was fantastic, the most unique show i've ever seen, and will certainly remain in my memory for a very long time!" +Attraction,Date of experience: May 2012,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,"Rowdy, risqu, and raucous!","I didn't know what I was getting into with this show, but we were pleasantly surprised and delighted. The Gazillionare the fictional host character is a hilarious cross between a stand up comedian and a ring master imagine Chris Rock mixed with Borat. If you're at all offended by racist jokes, very graphical sexual humor, or the copious use of the ""F word"", you probably won't enjoy this show. If, however, you are not easily offended, you'll love Absinthe. We laughed our off. Tip: the front rows are somewhat ""interactive"", so unless you don't mind being the butt of some of the jokes, you may want to choose a seat in the back." +Attraction,Date of experience: May 2012,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Not your ma ma's show.,"Very up close to the action. You feel like you are a part of the show, actually, some people are. If racial comments offend you, vulger language and nudity are not your style, don't go. However, if you would like a little risque behavior this is the show for you. Funny and the performers are very talented. The only bad thing that I have to say about it is the seating. Not a problem if you are of average size, but I did not enjoy sharing my seat with the rather large person next to me. So, if you are large, pay for a seat upgrade.

My husband, myself and our best friends went Valentine's night to the 7 pm show and were quite surprised that it was not jam packed. We had our choice of seating and if I had one complaint...that would be it. The seats are too close together and even skinny people were wishing they could move their seats apart about an inch. We originally sat down and found this a little close for comfort and moved to some fancy chairs that were located to the left of the stage and found it to be very comfortable there. Everything you read and hear about the humor is absolutly true!! This is not a show for the faint of heart or prudes. If vulgar language, sexual overtones, racial jokes, partial nudity offend you....don't go. Plain and simple. We loved it and the acrobatic acts that went along with it!! I got to meet some very nice gentlemen from the UK at the bar area and the people that were around us were just having a fab time!!

Like many of my reviews say I have direct interaction with all of the shows and that has to be clear because don't want a straight laced person going. This show is incredible. The acrobatics compare to Cirque, and the humor is awesome. One of the best things of vegas shows is we can pull off jokes and all get along that wouldn't fly back home. When I went there were racist jokes, sexist, jabs at the sniors being republicans, and being a local even Ihad one of the tall souvenir cups, even I got hit for that but its all in good spirit. Its got a cabaret feel too it its just crazy and chaotic and great laughs, singing in it too, super sexy.

There is a ton of interaction with the audience, and the tent is very small so there is really no such thing as a bad seat unless you're scared of the trapeze artists falling on you. The tightrope walking and acrobats are just amazing. The show is for guests 18 and older.

Firstly, we went in with a group of 6. 5 of us were Irish and we had one 30 year old Brazilian friend with us. We all got in without any problem but then when it came to our Brazilian friend, they told him that it was not his night and to go somewhere else. After a bit of complaining and arguing from us they shushed us and told us to get him back and hurry inside. The second incident was far more disturbing. As we were leaving, a young black man was walking out in front of us and realised that he had left his jacket inside, he went up to ask the bouncer to let him back in and a conflict began. The conflict ended with the bouncer pushing the young man down the stairs and telling him that he was in the wrong f country. We called the police to report what we had seen and were told by police men that they knew Johnny and hes a sound bloke that normally wouldnt do anything like that. We were also told that the incident wasnt that racist on the grand scale of things and as the young black man was flying back to England the next day, there was nothing we could do about it. The bouncer, Johnny, still stands on the front door every night, even after the manager was informed about both incidents and it seems like this is the normal in Copper Face Jacks. The main reason that we go there is that it stays open until after 5 but after spending a lovely night in Everleigh Gardens a few doors down until 5 am, we most definitely wont be going near Coppers again." +Attraction,Date of experience: May 2018,Europe,Ireland,Province of Leinster,unknown,So bad experience,"The security are racist.

In fact it was the saving grace of the show, that and the first couple of songs such as 'Hello'. Even the parody of Hakuna Matata was hysterical. After those songs, I thought we were in for a real treat. Unfortunately, we were not.I'm no prude, and swear like the best or worse of them, but the constant swearing became tedious. Somehow, real people swearing the c and f words with such regularity falls flat. Had the dialogue been delivered by a South Park character, such as Eric Cartman with his silly voice, it would have been funny but using racial stereotypes to deliver it was frankly distasteful. In a cartoon, racial stereotypes are strangely acceptable, but in real life are surprisingly uncomfortable. Was this the point of the show If it was, it was overdone. I have lived in an African country decimated by AIDS and AIDS is no laughing matter, nor is ""fcking babies"" in the mistaken belief that it cures this disease. Some things are ripe for a satirical send up on stage, but not AIDS and certainly not the sexual abuse of children. The plot was like a weak amateur production of a pantomime and just a vehicle for the satire, rather than presenting a gripping satirical story. Good satire that is funny and clever, such as the Bin Laden scene in the Family Guy, is a joy to watch. This was not clever. It was predictable and tiresome, and we couldn't wait for it to finish.

I read reviews from people saying it is a disgusting production, reliant on racism and repetition of the ""Cword"" for laughs. Not at all so.

There is no room for people to walk past you, so you have to stand up every time someone wants to walk by.They don't give you a playbill you have to BUY it! Yes, after paying 495 pounds for 3 tickets, we had to fork out for the playbill how ridiculous!The cast is good and there was some good dancing and singing but I found the story and the language just offensive. I'm a very open minded person and can tolerate quite a bit of dark humour and swearing and stuff but the racism, the crude words and the repeated use of the c word and other crude acts just made it intolerable for me.

I am honestly more shocked and confused at its reception and the success and popularity this show has garnered than the actual content itself. I felt uncomfortable at the largely white audience hysterically laughing at the antiAfrica, racist jokes. This story was written by two white men who have profited hundreds of millions of dollars off the back of issues such as genital mutilation, AIDs, and rape, in a country they generalise as 'Africa' and have probably never set foot in. I am honestly just speechless at how I am in the minority for thinking this, and how in 2018 people still think this is a smart, terrific show. The humour is childish, repetitive, cringy. I am not easily offended but this crossed a line for me.The show might as well have been a blackface performance, which at the time no one thought was inappropriate but now it's general consensus that it's racist. I can't imagine that this show will go down well in history in the future.I really think there was a missed opportunity to create a story that had clever satirical ideas without having to revert to archaic, overused, racist jokes. Racism is present and latent. It's embedded in our history and societal stucture. This musical plays on this within its audience, which is probably why people laugh.

The following thoughts may make more sense if you've seen BoM at least once. If you haven't seen it yet, I hope it genuinely entices you in to experience an event that your ordinarily sensible self struggles to believe is actually unfurling in front of you.Firstly, it is a stomach crampingly funny and foul mouthed experience, housed within one of the most uplifting and enjoyable musicals you will find in the West End, performed exquisitely by the most talented and engaging group of actors around...and now for the pseud's corner critique.Dont go if you are offended by liberal use of Anglo Saxon descriptors in all their permutations and / or use of multi layered comedic deconstruction linked to wonderful tunes South Park meets South Pacific, as has been aptly described by others of all religions, western societal perspectives, superficiality, prejudice and corruption. Appreciate these are grand claims for a musical which on face of it can be viewed as a collection of crude, racist, misogynistic sketches to catchy tunes. However, with respect, if thats how a theatregoer processes the show, theyre missing an opportunity for some seriously meaningful reflection as to human nature and misuse of religion and abuse of power by those seeking to control the lives of their citizens, particularly women. FGM is brutally exposed for the abomination that it is; rightly and unapologetically so. Offence at the use of various names for that intimate part of a females anatomy is nothing compared to the real pain still felt by hundreds if not thousands of women still subject to this needless mutilation to this day.Highlights of the show are many so take as read the outstanding performances by Elders Price, Cunningham and McKinley.Third time around though, what struck me was the gem of the revised narration of the Mormon story to the visiting elders by the villagers using their own culture bound language with some imaginative input from Arnold. It reinforces the point that all established religions, in their origins at least, rely on oral transmission from one generation to the next Sal Tlay Ka Siti, shaped and reconfigured by contemporaneous cultural references. Why then do so many accept literally as gospel the more unpalatable elements of religion which were a product of their time and early cultureThe visually obvious double meaning of Baptise Me shouldnt be as amusing as it is to anyone older than 13 years of age but it is so wonderfully sung and choreographed by Elder Cunningham and Nabulungi, both switching effortlessly between innocence and desire, that it had me squirming uncomfortably and laughing in equal measure.As has been mentioned in countless reviews, the whole cast are incredibly talented and engaged. Id just add it feels like there is an amazing camaraderie and buzz across the whole team, making the audience I would surmise from their hearty continual appreciation feel a real part of the event.Leanne Robinson who played Nabulingi in all three performances I have seen is a huge talent, whether in her emotional and powerful solo performances or in wholly conveying the innocence, joy and hope that I am sure Parker and Lopez intentionally built into her character.I cant end without a special mention for Steven Webb who, in my opinion, has made the part of Elder McKinley his own. You could invest a whole show watching him alone and it would be an extremely entertaining two hours. His knowing expressions and engagement, even when he is not front of stage are a lesson to any aspiring actor in being fully in character 100 of the time. I hope he stays in the role for as long as I go to see this show as his eventual replacement has big sparkly shoes to fill." +Attraction,Date of experience: April 2018,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,unknown,Entertaining and offensive in equal measure,"Nothing is sacred here, racist, homophobic, antiSemitic themes are present throughout.

The show started off energetically but things took a rapid turn for the worse when the newly graduated Mormon elders were sent on their first Mission to Uganda. That was when the 45 minutes of essentially racist jokes started when the majority of the humour seemed to revolve around Africans having AIDS, raping babies and having ""maggots in their scrotoms"" and being totally thick. I literally cannot understand who would find this funny. I came to see this show expecting amusing Monty Python style satire and only found something that was deeply, deeply offensive. The fact that anyone actually finds this funny pretty much sums up everything that is wrong with the world. Oh, and before you think 'snowflake', I am not easily offended. I was so annoyed that the theatre is right opposite The Comedy Store, where we could have had an awesome, funny night of risque humour, but instead we got this absolute pile of rubbish that we paid 175 for. I was so disgusted I left at the interval, which I have never, ever done before.

I was really looking forward to seeing the show and had seen the fantastic reviews. I honestly cannot fully describe how shocking it was to see people laughing and clapping at clearly racist, offensive, ignorant and childish jokes which were attempts at what is deemed to be a musical performance. I am not easily offended, however I am dismayed that in 2018, noone has challenged this totally offensive drivel that totally disrespects Africans and thinks that making jokes for example about raping babies and FGM is entertainment. My daughter and I watched the predominantly white audience around us laughing and clapping wondering how intelligent people could find this production enjoyable. I constantly cringed throughout the first half of the performance. When the second half was about to begin my daughter and I left. The woman sitting next to me said it's only ""lighthearted"". I disagreed and as black women find it disappointing that as another black woman she couldn't understand how disrespectful this whole production was. All Africans live in mud huts...rape to prevent AIDS....etc. I am left wondering that if this production was about another race or religion would it have been so popular.....Please DON'T waste your money or time watching this absolute rubbish." +Attraction,Date of experience: February 2018,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,unknown,Bleurgh,"I know I'm definitely in the minority here, but I actually hated this.

I'm not usually one to leave a review however upon reading some peoples 'one star' comments I have been left confused. These people, who on the most part claim to be veterans of the theatre world using phrases like 'I have seen every West End show' and 'I spend a lot of time at the theatre', seem to be calling out the 'majority of the audience' as being somehow immature, racist and insensitive towards religion by finding the show remotely funny. They also attempt to back up their flawed argument by saying that in their 'expert' opinion, the show has no depth and is only toilet humour.I am by no means a theatre veteran, however I'm sure that I'm not the only one who can see that behind the jokes the underlying theme of the story is that regardless how the outside community perceive the Book of Mormon or religions in general, what counts is that it provides hope and purpose to those who need it and choose to be involved in it.

Whilst I'm not a huge fan of musicals, there'd been so much hype around this production, so I thought I ought to give it a chance, plus the premise of the show sounded quite funny from the outset. However, watching Book of Mormon in reality was a totally surreal experience I couldn't believe the 'humour' racism, jokes about female genital mutilation, talk of babies being raped, plus an insulting depiction of Africans and religion. And even though I'm not a prude kind of person, I was sat there feeling puzzled throughout the twohour long show. What was even more bizarre was looking around the theatre at the rest of the audience who were exploding into hysterics was I missing something! According to the rest of the audience, a black person putting on a Ugandan accent and saying the fword is hilarious...There was the odd moment where something mildly amusing happened, but nothing to me was laughoutloud funny. I bet if this same production was applied to the Islamic faith, there'd be uproar about it! Positives about Book of Mormon were that the actors were really good super enthusiastic and full of energy, which was enjoyable to watch. However, at the steep price of 42 quid a ticket, I wouldn't recommend seeing Book of Mormon.

And offensively overpriced!,"OK, love it or hate it my biggest objection is the price how on earth can they have the audacity to charge more than any other theatre show in the country is absolutely beyond me. To my mind price should reflect both production cost and quality, both of which were lacking from this show. The only reason we bothered was because we had some Ticketmaster vouchers that were due to expire and had to be used on something, otherwise I would NEVER pay full price for this crap. There are essentially just two sets. And although well done, these, the costumes, the lighting and so forth were very straightforward. When you think about the complexity of shows such as Wicked, Ghost, Lord of the Rings, Bodyguard, Phantom, this was one step up from a high school play so it's disgusting that they charge so much. And as for the content, I pray to God a la Mormon that the success of this show does not mean the state of things to come in the West End because if that's the case, theatre is doomed. I am anything but politically correct and my humour is very much about pushing boundaries. But child rape, female genital mutilation and the most brazen racism I've ever encountered just takes it too far. I'd be lying if I said I didn't laugh there are some very funny moments, but this not only crossed the line; it left the line many miles behind.Crude lyrics aside, the music is catchy and some of the voices were excellent, as was some of the choreography.

I usually choose to go see the show after a difficult working day as it single handedly raises my spirits.All the cast are superb. Other than the key characters, the Ensemble are on stage as much as the main characters except in many and various roles. The show is energetic and the big musical numbers are fab to watch.

One thing I also appreciated was that the break was kept short: just little time to get your drinks. The show was unbelievably fun. My tummy hurt from all the laugh.

The satire was biting. Its exposure of western attitudes toward Africa, its way of making you reexamine your own atitudes towards cultural differences and the terrific way it forces you to see that issues such as FGM and baby rape are really happening are just some of the examples. I particularly admired the way they contrasted Africa's vs first world problems ""80 of us have AIDS"" vs ""my bus was late"", was one notable example. Of course FGM is not funny but including it in a comedy show means that many more of us become aware of it and may even be inspired to do something about it.Compared with other South Park programmes it's actually pretty kind to the Mormons, since the central message seems to be that although much of their bible is a nonsense if it nevertheless leads people to be nice to each other, that's a good thing. I noticed that the Mormons themselves have a one page advert in the programme.The music is not bad, although not brilliant either. Who cares, when we laughed all the way through Trey and Parker must be some of the best political observers and analysts of our generation. And they make us laugh at ourselves too.

Certainly not for children. I looked around the audience and most people seemed to find the show highly amusing and entertaining. For me, the biggest issue was that I left the theatre thinking ""what tunes can I remember"" The answer was none!

I see fellow naysayers were offended by the subjects of the humor, but if you've ever enjoyed Trey and Matt's work, you know what you're in for. You also recognize that they don't mock subjects directly ie: Africa, rather, they expose the prejudice that exists in society; in this case, the institutionalized racism of Mormon doctrine.To me, the show commits a far greater sin than approaching topics like race, homosexuality and female circumcision: it is not funny. I managed a few smiles and the rest of the time wondered why most everyone else was rolling in the aisles.Also disappointing was the fact that the songs are not engaging or memorable. This was a real surprise considering how good Trey's music has been elsewhere see the Academy Award nomination for 'Blame Canada'.The two lead missionaries have great energy and are obviously talented, but the material they're working with is, as Cartman would put it, ""........lame.""" +Attraction,Date of experience: September 2014,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,unknown,Terrible,"An absolutely awful show.

It is outrageously homophobic, sexist, ageist, racist and every other ism you can think of, but it is well scripted, cleverly directed and somehow you don't feel offended.Most importantly it is laugh out loud funny. We neede that adrenaline fix in dreary January The Book of Mormon delivered, but be warned tickets are pricy!" +Attraction,Date of experience: March 2014,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,unknown,Offensively hilarious!,"This is a musical designed to offend most people and it is absolutely hilarious and entertaining. It's actually not particularly antiMormon since you leave the theatre actually feeling somewhat kindly to these people with their idealistic, dogooding, beliefs. It walks a fine line just this side of racism in its depiction of Africa, but you also wind up loving and respecting their constant struggles to escape their horrible conditions. It is just cynical about the beliefs of organized religion and the romanticized depiction of Africa in the Lion King. Don't go if you are easily offended. But if you have a good sense of humor and don't literally believe the world was formed 6,000 years ago or that Jesus came to American after he was crucified, you will laugh your head off and enjoy a fantastic cast and have a great deal of fun!" +Attraction,Date of experience: February 2014,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,unknown,try too hard and just not particularly funny v disappointing,"Firstly can I say I'm not easily offended or a prude, nor do I take myself too seriously far from it!! and yes I do love a good laugh so please take my review to be measured and honest.We found this play to be very so so. Especially disappointing after all the hype surrounding it. The cast were great and very energetic but what let them down was the script. It came across as try to hard and on many occasions just downright crass and highly offensive/racist. It was cringey to watch. Our experience certainly wasn't helped by the fact we didn't have great seats way over to the side next to the wall in the stalls bought from someone at work who could't go at the last min not a single actor ever looked to the sides of the audience everything was directed to the centre of the audience so it was difficult to engage which obviously didn't help.Overall yes the concept was there and had the potential to be funny but we just felt it came across as cheap shots which didn't hit the mark for us.Plenty of other people have enjoyed it and each to their own but I felt compelled to leave this review as we were so disappointed as we left the theatre and lets face it theatre tickets aren't cheap!" +Attraction,Date of experience: January 2014,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,unknown,OH MY..... MORMON!!!!,"If you are offended by the comedy in this show then there are 2 reasons. 1, you don't get the irony of the jokes or 2, you write for the Daily Mail. Think back to when people were laughing at Fawlty Towers, we weren't laughing at at Major's racist jokes, we were laughing at the Major's attitude to other races!Book of Mormon takes the ridiculous notion of modern religon and shows it up for what it is! You can basically teach anybody anything you want in the right or vulnerable circumstances, we are a society moving away from such idiocy, hopefully Book of Mormon will show people that life is, well, life!

The production itself is reasonably slick but I felt sorry for the performers who had to deliver this crass crude rubbish.

If that kind of humour isn't to your taste then stay away!We thought this musical was hilarious, witty and brilliantly staged. The tickets are a still a bit pricy, but it's quite a small theatre so even if you're sat in the worst seats you're not going to get an awful view. The seats are small though beware if you're on the heavy side!This show is definately worth a visit we were laughing out loud for most of it and so was everyone around us." +Attraction,Date of experience: November 2013,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,unknown,Incredible funny!

There really wasn't a part that i thought, ""well, that could have been cut out or shortened."" NO. all of it ROCKED!!!! Honestly, most plays I've been to, I could pick out a couple parts that could have been cut out to make it less boring.Don't bring young kids. So much sexual/racist/crude humor. Which is why it's awesome!!! You'll laugh your face off. And then want to buy the soundtrack.I knew nothing about Mormonism or what the play was about, just that everyone loves it, so I went.

My husband and I and the rest of the audience literally laughed nonstop the whole way through every song is hilarious, even the more sensible ballad type ones. Yes, it is unpc and shocking, but only in so much as these things are rarely talked about in this country, and as long as you are not easily offended and have a sense of humour that really shouldn't be a problem. While some reviews state that it is racist, puerile, and making a joke out of things like female genital mutilation and rape, I would say that it is simply bringing these issues to light, which are still happening in many African countries. They are not mocking these practices and making jokes out of them, but just giving an insight into life in a small Ugandan village, and how ridiculous it is that a bunch of Mormons want to convert them to the church when they have bigger problems to deal with there.Allinall, it is incredibly funny and original, with catchy songs I went straight home and bought the soundtrack and an incredible cast a completely unmissable show!

It was the worst musical I have ever seen. Incredibly racist and offensive. No wit or genuine humour. The production quality itself was mediocre, although the acting was good. I felt terrible for the actors that they somehow got roped into this.

It had the whole audience in stitches. There is some rather shocking language, but I'd still recommend my parents to see it. They enjoyed Borat and similar things, I think sometimes the world needs to laugh at itself more.

I looked at several including Adagio, but this one is miles ahead of them all.All the negative reviews on tripadvisor are from people who could not get into the club. It's a business, you dress well, have both female/group, spend money and cause no trouble you will get in. We are British Indians, there was no racism by the door staff, yes we had to pay 700 euros 50 euros each to reserve a table, VIP entry and then we could spend 700 on bottles of drink. It's one of the best clubs I've been to in a long time, you walk in and the first part is like a wine bar where you chill, the centre of the bar has a huge lit up tree in the middle, around midnight, one by one all the VIP guests are taken to the club, through a small door, security is very tight. Once seated they take your drinks order. It takes about an hour to get all the VIP tables sorted, 1am the Rnb music starts, and the remaining guests are filtered through from the wine bar area. The females in our group felt very safe, it's the first club I've been to where the female to male ratio is a lot higher. 65 female/35 male...I think that says it all. No sleazy blokes, I got talking to a gentleman in the VIP area who had a table for one, with a bottle of grey goose.He is a nightclub owner but comes here to unwind once a month, and advised that this was the no.1 club in Berlin, as they are very strict in who they let in. So don't listen to the negative views, if you going to try and get in, dress smartly, try and come as a mixed group...stag groups haven't got a chance unless you book VIP." +Attraction,Date of experience: November 2015,Europe,Germany,Berlin,unknown,well worth a visit,"Went this club as 42 seconds security are just pure racist and refused for no reason.

Many of our friends had recommended Berghain to us so we thought we'd give it a go. We visited on a Sunday as it would be quieter. We queued up and all of the people in front of us who just so happened to be white got let in. When it came to my girlfriend, the doorman said ""no,you're not coming in. I don't like the look of you"". My girlfriend replied ""why"" when another doorman grabbed her from behind and threw her on the floor. As she got up, he punched her so hard in the face that I heard it. As she got up, shaken and in pain, all 4 of the bouncers started laughing. We shouted at the bouncers that we were calling the police. We stood about 20m away from the entrance, when 2 female staff members came out of the club and threatened us and told us to leave. When we explained what happened and that we were calling the police, the women started hitting us and then grabbed us and dragged us to some benches about 50m away, whilst the doorman who punched my girlfriend followed behind them. Eventually when the police came they spoke to the doorman but it was clear that they didnt care.As we were leaving, a local couple came up to us and said that Berghain is notorious for being racist and violent to black people. PLEASE DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU ARE A POC, IT IS NOT SAFE. After what we were hoping would be a fun night, my partner and I are traumatised. Her jaw is swollen and sore when she chews or talks. My wrists are sore from where the female staff members grabbed them up. Please boycott Berghain.

A friend and I queued up on a Sunday afternoon. We had fully expected to be turned away its just what happens and for a lot of people it must be very confusing why. I dont think there is a particular dress code, it doesnt matter whether youve had a couple of drinks and certainly has nothing to do with racism we are Australian and dont speak much German. But, if and when you get inside it is the most incredible sensory overload, surrounded by people who are there to have a good time with no judgement. The dark, industrial interior compliments the music and creates an awesome atmosphere. If you love techno and are open minded, you have to try Berghain, and if you get knocked back, be respectful, and you can always try again. I left there with my friend and there were literally no words to describe the breathtaking experience we had. This is the best club in the world." +Attraction,Date of experience: July 2018,Europe,Germany,Berlin,unknown,racist door policy,"When I arrived with my boyfriend to this place on Sunday night at 11 we only waited 10minutes to get to the door. The bouncer looked at us for 1 sec we were not drunk, drugged and were wearing clothes suitable for ANY GOOD CLUB and he just said NO. No questions, no explanation and DEFINITELY NO LOGIC WHATSOEVER. The already rejected people were forming a second line waiting for admission. Then I thought f you!!!! I am not going to humiliate myself to beg to get in or explain we are a gay couple this place started as a gay club anyway. Instead of joining the line of rejected people WE JUST LEFT.

All the reviews stating the door policy is racist are complete nonsense, inside the crowd is vastly mixed. White, Black, Asian, Latin, Young, Old, Gay Straight. It's this stringent and undefinable door policy that has created something truly special inside arguably the safest clubbing space any of us had ever entered. There are no judgements here; people whoever they may be can become who they want and do what they want whilst within the club. We have never experienced this before at a club and it truly was something to behold. A place where one can act out ones fantasies without fear of shame of reprisal in the after event. Berlin is a truly special city and Berghain is more than just a club with a confusing and sometimes alienating door policy. It's a welcoming, open truly inspirational place to party. Treat the place with the respect it deserves and you will be greatly rewarded once you step through its doors. Clubbing will never be the same again the benchmark has been upped to unrealistic/superhuman levels by this wonderful wonderful venue.

When we got to the door, the bouncer mumbled things in german and waited for our ""sorry we are not German"" to let us outside. Literally." +Attraction,Date of experience: October 2016,Europe,Germany,Berlin,unknown,A surreal experience,"After reading numerous reviews/articles for the past nine months decided to gamble on it during my recent Euro trip.Got a hostel nearby Plus Berlin, by taxi it was about 6.30 euros. So, Sat Oct 1 the big day arrived and I realized this is something totally out of my hands and decided to go with absolutely zero expectations and to enjoy the ride. I wore black pants, grey tank with flower pattern, black fall jacket and black shoes. Btw I am a 35 year old brown single male, look younger about 26/27. My motto was ""if I dont get in...life goes on"". Arrived around 12:30, line was huge but being in the queue for two hours was an experience itself, met so many great people and all of us had the same mindset. Once we got closer the selection process was very much visible and thats when everyone got serious and quiet. Then Sven appeared, for some reason I felt like he was staring right at me maybe because I have a manbun like him lol. Most people before me got in, wont lie in my head it was more like ""this is it! watergate here i come lol "" but decided to act calm and confident. So my turn comes, bouncer standing to my left smiles at me and I said in a very calm way ""hi, how u doin"" with a smile and look away. Sven stares at me for few seconds and he gives the nod within split seconds the other bouncer waves me in, honestly I couldnt believe it! Then this rush out of no where hits my head.. it was a blur. They didnt even search me and points to the cashier..pay 16 Euros, get the stamp and enter this so called paradise.I wont mention what I saw or experienced just to respect the club and its people. But yes it is huge inside, Surprisingly, the music was not that great.. am more into tech house. Berghain was playing hardcore techno and Panoramo had more my style. Took time exploring the whole place not once but several times and yes it is quiet fascinating, we have something similar on a smaller scale in Toronto called Comfort zone but everyone gets in, no dark rooms and its more ""tamed"". Some people told me music is better on sunday evening.So after spending 14 hours, got my hand restamped and leave around 3 pm on Sunday, queue outside was enormous. Later that night they didnt let me in even with a stamp saying it was not completely visible but I think its because of my jeans or simply didnt fit the criteria for that night so I hit Watergate. Berghain is not racist, saw people from all walks of life. Bartenders, bouncers and other workers were all polite to me. This place is an institution, a mecca for many people and respecting their ""culture"" is what Berghain looks for when screening.Other than the music my overall experience was pretty good and am grateful for being allowed in. I think its the hype that makes this place so much more attractive. But people seriously remember its just a ""club"". My advice, have a plan B, dont expect to get in, act calm and confident, dont have that hungry look on your face." +Attraction,Date of experience: July 2016,Europe,Germany,Berlin,unknown,The best club in the world ,"There are clubs and then there is the temple of techno, Berghain. I thought my clubbing days were coming to end but this place took me back the 90s warehouse raves but a hundred times better and I was by no means the oldest in there. Arriving at Ostbahnhof with thousands of other hopefuls we walked the short distance to the old power station and joined the line. It was a long wait 2.5 hours, but well worth the wait, during the time we kept our voices down, didn't get drunk and ignored the hawkers which approached us a simple ""nein"" and they eventually got the message. As we got closer to the door we saw Sven or as he is fondly call The Lord of the Night. Sven is the daddy and with his security team they decide who is coming in. There is no VIP or guest list, ""celebrities"" have been turned away but their format for selecting who comes in or who does the walk of rejection is the reason why this place is heaven on earth and has the reputation as the best club in the world. When we got to the front we waited and the doorman said in German two and in my best German I said no four, he looked and said English and I said ja he nodded and we walked in! I can't explain the euphoria I felt walking in, after seeing literally hundreds of people get turned away we were in! We remained cool and passed security, there are full checks and phones have their camera lens covered. Photography is strictly forbidden. After security, we paid our 16 euros and we walked into the foyer, this massive space with large clock room. What amazed me was the size it is literally like walking into a cathedral with its high ceiling.We headed straight for the bar service was fast, we waited less than 5 minutes to get served, another great thing about Berghain is the fast friendly service. The crowd aren't drinking fancy cocktails or Cristal champagne it's ice cool bottle of beer and water, all very reasonably priced. It doesn't exploit its customers, more reasons to love this place. The main room was pumping we were fortunate to get the last 30 minutes of Ben Klock, just one of the many world class DJs that play here. Getting lost in the dry ice, the smiles from the crowd, the sweat pouring off me and the freedom to be whoever you want to be and just party! The lights, strobe and lasers are something else and the sound system is out of this world. Up more stairs and you come to Panorama bar, playing funky house, the music isn't too loud that you can chat and make new friends. Panorama is very much a house party feel it's just so cool. This club is raw, underground, industrial full of free spirits who are up for partying it's very mixed of ages and nationalities. We stayed 6 hours and met some wonderful people, danced like I haven't danced in years and for me that sense of freedom and liberty in a world full of hate this club is the opposite it's just full of love. Fat, thin, beautiful, less attractive, black, white, yellow, gay, straight, bi, trans, abled bodied, disabled, young and old, everyone gets on and is enjoying the party! If you are homophobic, racist or have any other hang ups this isn't a club for you and I wouldn't waste your time trying to get in but if your non judgemental and like to party hard you will appreciate The beauty of Berghain. Thank you for the most incredible night of my life. " +Attraction,Date of experience: June 2016,Europe,Germany,Berlin,unknown,Don't bother if you are not a crackhead recognizeable from a mile away,"Well, I would love to rate the club, but all I can say is that the door policy sucks, there is no reason given why they do not let you in, they just don't. We left wondering whether it was because we were 2 straight couples or beacause we were dressed too normal, or just because the doormen were pure racist. I guess a bit of all, but made me to read the door policy at the other clubs we went to very carefully. This one says: do not dress too nice, do not smile and cheer while in the queue, don't come in groups....so basically Berlin's 'best club' wants me to drop my friends, get some clothes from a homeless guy on the corner, look to the ground and mumble for myself otherwise I would not fit! Avoid this place if you are looking for fun." +Attraction,Date of experience: March 2016,Europe,Germany,Berlin,unknown,"Rude, slightly racist and not friendly ","Literally were not letting people in for no reason. Several people in front of me we're told to leave without any reason being given. They were all perfectly sober and similar to everyone else in the queue, but the bouncers refuse them.

After being out clubbing for 12 hours and at Salon Zur wilden Renate then Rummels Bucht both outstanding clubs and amazing few hours in each we went to join the que for Berghain at 11.30am approx. We queued for over an hour, it was lashing rain and freezing cold and by the time we arrived at the door we were shaking and nearly hypothermic!!! Two lads in front who we knew were not going to get in got told to move on, it was out turn and we got told to wait then come forward. We you get in you will get your phone camera covered and pay the fee then enter! From there on It is an experience of sights and sounds! The most perfect monstrous sound system I have ever heard! The only way to discribe it is like thunder!! I have experienced many sound systems but those stacks at each corner are something else!! Go and try your luck and have fun!! Not for the faint hearted, racist, homophobic or small minded!

We turned up at 67am Sunday morning there was a few people infront of us which got turned away, previously we had read other reviews which stated do not talk in queue etc. We followed these guide lines an when we got to the front was observed by a bouncer on the door for a couple seconds an was asked JUST TWO we responded yes an was in!! Wow club was amazing, music was evenmore amazing an there was a very big group of mixed people inside. Very diverse club with lots of multi cultural people within. Do not listen to reviews stating that they are racist just because they didn't get in! Once being to the club I realise why they turn people away an would of not been upset if I had been turned away. I honestly think they pick each person to preserve the vibe an diversity of the club. Tips come in twos, don't speak in queue, wear black an wait to be spoken to once reach the front. Also learning basic German words might help! Overall best club/music experience I've encountered, clubbers, bar staff an bouncers where super friendly. 10/10 experience! " +Attraction,Date of experience: May 2015,Europe,Germany,Berlin,unknown,In Human,"In this liberal world we still do have places which conduct their operations in the utmost racist manner. It is a shame that Berghain's management believe that they are successful by allowing their Bouncer to illtreat visitors at the entrance. As avid travelers around the world, it was shocking to experience the brutal behavior of refusing visitors into the Club. The Bouncer has been given the power to speak and behave offensively to visitors who he chooses to refuse entry. There are no particular rules for the Club and the decision made by the Bouncer is clearly based on his judgement. We were observing the Bouncer and it was very clear that he was insulting and shunting out people who were mainly tourist and couldn't speak German. Even if the Club has certain conditions to refuse entry, I'm sure they can conduct this process in a decent and polite manner. I'm even surprised the Human Rights Authority in Berlin have allowed Berghain to continue their business under such inhuman conditions. There should be a better reason why a night club should be popular. There are no moral principles or intelligence to such discrimination by Berghain. We were literally asked to 'Get Out' because I guess we were Indians and because we didn't speak 'German'. Do not recommend this Club to any one unless you want be maltreated! We visited number of other popular Clubs in Berlin where we were pleasantly welcomed!" +Attraction,Date of experience: February 2014,Europe,Germany,Berlin,unknown,Racist doormen don't let you in if you speak English,Waited in line for 2 hours in the cold and go rejected at the door because we weren't German and were speaking English.

It's a gay club that lets in some and only some straight people. So you should expect ""gay"" things to be going on. Expect some dark corners. Lots of people come just for the dark corners.... You mightn't fit. Sorry, but that's not your choice. If you look like you don't belong at a gay sex club, then it mightn't be the place for you. If you just want to go to stare this isn't the place for you. The bouncers' job is try to weed out the people who will stare, and make others uncomfortable which means2. Be prepared to queue, and not to get in. See above the bouncers have to see who fits. It's not personal, it's not racist/sexist/anti spanish/anti english etc. There's lots of different people of all races, genders, and nationalities inside. If you don't get in, there's no shortage of other clubs in Berlin. Everyone has been refused from Berghain, so don't argue, it won't change anything.3. If you do get in enjoy yourself. It is the best club in the world that's why the queue is there. The DJs are the best in the world. and if you don't like techno or house music don't come don't be surprised that the music is electronic and loud.

","While me and my friend attended the establishment, we waited at the bar for around 15 minutes and ordered some drinks. We then walked to the other side of the bar and were told forcefully to step outside. Apparently we had a potent smell of marijuana on us. I was wearing Givenchy gentlemen only and my friend was wearing Dior Homme, for the record. We were then told to empty our pockets, which we did, although it was a massive inconvenience. They then patted us down and found nothing, as there was nothing to find. My friend and I explained that we wouldn't take such risks as smoking marijuana because of our jobs, and we proceeded to explain that if we had been smoking marijuana, we would be acting accordingly. One bouncer, the extremely skinny one who should consider a new profession claimed that when he ""smokes a blunt"" he's fine so perhaps that's where the smell was coming from They said they would talk to other people in the area, of course they didn't though. The only two people of an ethnic backgrounds are obviously in possession of marijuana stereotypes in 2015, who would've thought it. The larger bouncer, an overweight guy by the name of Danny, then decided to label us as threatening and aggressive, after we said we would wait for the police, and after we questioned his fabricated authority. We were then told to leave, weren't able to finish our drinks and the management weren't much help either. After hearing several other reviews regarding the doormen of this under par facility, it's probably worth avoiding altogether.

He then proceeded to let in numerous other groups after us.

I had a funny feeling we were turned away due to the colour of our skin, which is absolutely shocking. How someone can decide who to let in to a bar due to their race is appalling. This bouncer needs to be fired as below, the big white guy.

Whether it be Putin and Abu Bakr alBaghdadi one week, or your seething other half the next, it would seem as though we are always under threat we are never safe and we have nowhere to call home! That is of course, until I found The Slug! The Slug is like that moment you collapse onto the sofa after a long day, that moment you wake up late in a panic before realising its a Saturday, that moment you think youve left your passport behind and then realise you were holding it the whole time. The Slug is relief. The Slug is relaxation. The Slug is release. There is no judgement. We are all equals in the eyes of The Slug. Ive seen a man throw up all over himself whilst wearing a Superman shirt. We all realised the irony and he may have briefly appeared on Instagram, but we did not judge. We applauded this man, for this man felt safe, he needed a release, and he knew The Slug would offer him that drunken solace. There is also charity in The Slug. We are offered drinks so cheap that it makes The Salvation Army look like a bunch of money grabbing fat cats!! Where else in London can you buy 15 jager bombs for 30! Only The Church offers cheaper wine but the vicar drinks most of it, and the playlist at church has nothing on the back to back 50 Cent In Da Club and Beyonce All The Single Ladies. However what is shared between these great pillars of civilisation is a sense of community and a feverishly warm welcome. The bouncers at The Slug, in the famous words of Admiral General Aladeen The Supreme Leader of the Republic of Wadiya in the critically acclaimed documentary titled The Dictator are like mafroom Wadiyan fruit, hard and spiky on the outside, but soft and really mushy on the in. Whilst they may seem a little unfriendly, once a level of trust is reached, there is no warmer welcome in South West London. Unfortunately Shane described, a tad racially I may add, as the white English man by one ignorant antislug is no longer on the door, but he was the first to introduce us to the new boss with a broad smile and a friendly pat on the back.

The first group who were rather tipsy but all white, walked into the club without incident. The second group, with 3 white and one black were told they could not go into the club because one or two of them were drunk. Now, as they were all sober were rather shocked at this news. When the doorman were asked for the real reason they the white members of the group were told 'it's not you... Hint hint'. The remaining girls all turned up in taxis to find that we also were not allowed to enter the club because this time 'our group was too big'. But had we entered the club as we arrived in groups of 3/4 they wouldn't have realised we were all together. Let's call a spade a spade. They just didn't want black people in the club.

APPAULED,"Never in my life have I experienced such treatment in any venue. Me and my friends booked a table for my friends birthday for 250.00. As we arrived the service was very poor but to make it worse, towards the end of the night, say about 2a.m. the club resold our table to another set of people. We went back to our table to find another set of people sitting there and drinking our bottle of Moet and using our chaser. I proceeded to ask a girl sitting at the table to kindly move over so I can sit also and that she was welcome to join. She proceeded to threaten me in my face, stood up, put her fist in my face and said 'im going to knock you out three times. She said id need to get securty to sort the situation out. I went to the security guard who confirmed that it was indeed the table we were on. He then proceeded to get the manager Henry to deal with the situation. Henry proceeded to speak to the girl and then moved us to another table bear in mind our alcohol was still on the other table No apologies, no compensation, no efforts from the staff whatsoever. The VIP manager a lady named Katherine I spoke to who had clearly sold off our table then informed me that we will have another table in the corner in a very rude manner. I proceeded to exit the stairs to find one of my friends and was approached by the same girl who previously threatened me, shouting at me again saying she was going to kill me and knock my teeth out. Henry the manager, then turned to me as if Id insinuated the incident. I was absolutely shocked. I had no hang ups with this girl, didnt know her and did not know why she was speaking to me like that. A guy who was with her then proceeded to come over to me to tell me to ignore her, im sorry but i take assaults very seriously, especially when I am not in the wrong. Henry the manager then proceeded to blame me and my friends for the incident, saying that he 'cant be explicit' to deal with the situation and why dont we 'just get out' proceeding to then blame me and say that the girls actions were 'nothing' and why cant we just 'keep to ourselves' As I proceeded outside to find my friend Henry then says to me 'oh your other friend who is white is civil and nice and you are the complete opposite' Now im sorry, I am trying to help my friends in the best way possible, save our money and our night, and defend myself towards one of your customers throwing threats in my face and youd like me to not inquire with you about any of this He was beyond rude and racist towards me, making racist comments towards my friends and basically waiting for all of us to leave although our remaining party had done absolutely nothing to cause any trouble whatsoever. I know clubbing in London I would have never experienced this issue, as it would have been dealt with by police. I am planning to take this matter further with shoosh, Katherine the manager and Henry who supposedly dealt with the situation on the night making it worse for all of us. If I am unsuccessful I will be writing to press about the club's antics. I am extremely disappointed in security lying about CCTV footage, the management for being so rude and racist and overall in the venue for not getting what we paid for. My poor friends who had travelled miles for the night were left feeling racially attacked and like they wasted their money. Would not recomment this place for any reason.

Although my friends were all allowed in, out of protest at the racist entrance policy and the abnoxious attitude of the doormen we all went elsewhere. It is hurtful to know that such strong and open racism still exists at the Red Garter in the the year 2018 in a city that has produced some of the world's greatest minds like da Vinci and Michelangelo. A shameful indictment of what appears to be Red Garter's unwritten racist policy and past reviews of this club prove this disgraceful racism is not an isolated case.Is it too much to ask for all people to be treated equally and to be allowed to enjoy a pleasant night out with friends regardless of your skin colour Do not let racism win.

The Bouncers completely ruined our night. They allowed several teens who openly admitted they were under 18 into the venue, and they were simply told that they were not allowed to drink. However, when my two friends who are 18 attempted to gain access they were met with a very rude and dismissive rejection. This may have been for several reasons, however when the only two sober 18 year olds not allowed in are of a differing ethnic background to the bouncers, the topic of racism is called into question. After refusing to see any form of ID from one of the boys, the bouncers forced the rest of us back in to the venue and continued to allow other 17 year olds in to the pub. After 40 minutes my two friends decided to leave and we were all left agitated and disgusted with unfair treatment of the two. This was only built upon when the party was shut down early when the bouncers claimed that one of the boys tried to swing for him. This turned out to be untrue as the boy was not intoxicated or violent. The actual circumstances were that he had been punched in the back of the head as he was walking away by one of the bouncers. Many onlookers corroborate this version of events. NEVER have I experienced such unruly, aggressive and vulgar behaviour from bouncers. It was clear they did not want us there and found reasons to get us out. I must say, the bar tenders apologised several times and made it very clear it was not them who had complained and complemented us on our civilised gathering. If I had any advice for people wanting to have any form of party here I would suggest you DONT unless you want you want half your group waiting outside, the odd person punched and the group racially segregated." +Attraction,Date of experience: December 2015,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,unknown,Racist!,"This pub is awful, they just let English people in.

We are near enough 30 years old and apparently a foreign driving licence or national ID card is sufficient to travel between countries, but not to prove age.

We all wanted a good time and a nice night and intended to spend a good amount of money it wasn't as if we planned to go in there and sit like donuts. Our plan was to go into the Shisha area and then move into the bar/club part. However, the bouncer at the Shisha area refused us entry saying a. There was no space and b. He doesn't speak English. We could clearly see space and there were people coming in and out. Next we thought Ok maybe he is right so we headed to the club entrance. I immediately approached the bouncer in a friendly manner and greeted him. I then asked about entry and coincidently and rather abruptly he said ""no space"". I was then shocked to see he had let some white Europeans in immediately almost 10 seconds after us. I the asked again is there no space at all. He goes ""no, no space"". We were dressed in shoes and blazers for which we would usually get into fancy Mayfair clubs in London. There was not a single ounce of doubt in my head that this was definitely because we were Asian. I am warning you. If you are ASIAN or BLACK Do not go to this club. The bouncers define racism. FYI I am not pulling out the race card. I would just like to say we then left for club 555 who were very polite at the door and let us in.

This club will not serve alcohol to Muslims that is why they have a strict procedure on showing passports etc. once inside the music and vibe was fantastic there was a mixed crowd of lovely down to earth people of all ages and nationalities.

I was super confused and asked why she thought I was Muslim, what a Muslim person looked like, and why it mattered. After some ridiculous negotiation, I had to go back to my hotel and get my passport to prove I was American not sure what that has to do with not being Muslim and finally got it.

Ambience was good, music was brilliant and service was great as well... So the experience was going to be amazing until this happened. A friend came in a little late and I went out to get him. The bouncer at the entrance denied him entry at the pretence of dress code as he was wearing sneakers and then he asked us to step aside. And just 2 mins later 2 other men in sneakers went in. Then a group of people with torn jeans and sneakers went in and we were astonished as to why aren't they denied entry. Upon confrontation this guy says they have a reservation and so if you can pay 650 he can make an exception. Now it was clear he was taking us for a ride. I asked to speak to his manager to which he replied wait here for 10 mins and he would be here, of course no one came, later on his colleague comes in saying I am the manager and justifies saying it's his bouncer's rule and his discretion here so he can deny entry to anyone. At this point we were furious because we were being descriminated against. Here are a few photos can't upload a video here the whole episode where you can see him allowing others in sneakers and denying us on the same ground.

When we arrived at the door, a horrible blonde girl told us that the club was full and we couldn't come in, despite it being bang on 11! When we left the queue, we saw lots of white people flood in behind us. It really ruined my night and I was shocked considering that not only had I been there before but my friends and I are all models however 2 of us are mixed race and 2 are asian!I bumped into a few other people of ethnic descent who then told me their horror stories of this club. The blonde door girl apparently works for Southwark Council as a day job....sorry but for one of the most diverse cities in the world, this council should be ashamed to have the spawn of Hitler representing them!" +Attraction,Date of experience: March 2014,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,unknown,"That door girl lucy is a joke! she is only a door girl for god sakes, no need to be so rude!","We are regulars to cirque and havent been there for 2months, so we decided to pay a visit last week. We encountered the worse door girl ever by the name of LUCY. She was racist and rude! Our group was basically split up into two, where the non white could enter. Need to bring back the previous door lady who was french this new one clearly has a chip on her shoulder and is trying to prove a point but in totally the wrong way." +Attraction,Date of experience: October 2013,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,unknown,Awful policy don't go here if you're of colour,"I've previously enjoyed nights at Cirque and been to many prestigious clubs in London however I took a break from clubbing for a little while and when I returned after a few months to Cirque on the 4th October I was unimpressed with the new door staff. The door woman is a stuck up, foul woman who shows no compassion. Myself and my two friends waited in the queue for roughly an hour only to be rejected by this disgraceful individual. Despite being on a promoter's guest list and only 15 people max having got in, she claimed that there was a ""limited"" guestlist and therefore only two of us can enter. The underlying implication was that one of us was not good enough for Cirque. I understand that Cirque has an image to preserve and want to attract the right clientele but none of us are ugly so it was simply a ridiculous judgment. There were 4 girls in the queue behind us who got let in, no questions asked. One of which I knew and who, as a favour, asked the doorwoman to let myself and my friends in. Her response was that we were not ""Cirque enough"" which sounds absurd considering we were all well dressed. She then specified exactly which one of us could come in coincidentally my white friend and not either me or my friend who is mixed raced. This was downright racist and absolutely appalling behaviour on the part of a club which is in the most diverse city in the world. The door woman looked at us as if were scum which I found even more degrading considering she could have at the very least shown some respect or been polite. She then proceeded to tell us to stop standing near the queue although I was trying to speak to the promoter to understand what was going on. None of us were drunk and nor do we look like rowdy girls who don't belong in this scene considering we all went to private schools. I am certain it was solely based on race as when I asked my friend who was let in what it was like inside she noticed that everyone was European and that there was no one of colour. It's an absolute shambles. I do not recommend going here unless you want to greet someone at the door who discriminates based upon race, in other words Hitler.

I know I was dressed appropriately. Decent and Classy, maybe it was the color of my skin, who knows. The waiter assigned to our table didnt even bother to ask if we wanted a selection from the a la carte menu, but just automatically assumed we wanted the cheaper setdinner menu.

My group of friends, who were a group of asian females were told that the club had reached full capacity and no more people were allowed in. This is despite showing an email confirmation of a reservation we had made. Worst still, when the door staff began to ignore us and laugh in our faces, one thick bouncer let more WHITE people in.

One of our friends got us on a guest list for this club we had confirmation emails and NUMEROUS text messages confirming the we were on the guest list, so amidst the reviews on racism that we saw before we thought we will have our own experience and decided to give it a try! As one of the previous reviewers have mentioned the door men were VERY QUICK to get us out of the queue indicating, he will get us in EARLY. WHY would they, it was a long queue....we were suspicious but followed the man to the door that is when we realized all they did was singling us out to publicly humiliate a friend before refusing entry. Their comments were ""Your ID doesn't look like you at all, the Photo ID is really pretty"" ""Is this your daughter's ID""!! It was appalling and totally unacceptable behavior, but then when you have racist rude men at the door there was nothing else we could do! We did have IDs, They crosschecked another form of ID to confirm name but still didn't let us in not sure why they even asked us ot produce further IDs, which confirmed the identity and the name of my friend. It truly was appalling behavior. My advice is if you are not white, blonde, bra less and in a skimpy outfit looking like a wanna be celebrity then avoid this place." +Attraction,Date of experience: November 2016,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,unknown,Disgusting is a too good of a word to use,"Me and 3 of my girl friend were on the guest list for Lux on saturday night 26th Nov and got there around 12 to find out even as a guest you had to que up. We were happy to do that while about 20 people in front of us ""the boss"" came and asked if we had ID and when we said yes took us to the front of the que and told the other security guy to check our IDs. My UK driving licence DL was fine, but my friends wasnt as apparently the photo doesnt not resemble her. My other 2 friends were also fine but started telling my friend that they really cant believe its her at which point she said its been issued 8 years ago but you can see its me. Then he went up to saying 'you have been very pretty' to which I said 'have been' then he said no she still is now. Then called 'the boss' for him to say the same and then ask for a bank card which she had. Looked at both and said he isnt still happy with it and it looks like it could be her daughters DL. we just wanted to get out of that place asap as thats a bad thing to say plus if shes old enough to have a daughter who has DL shes surely old enough to get in to club. Absolutely pathetic experience... If any of the management to see this review please explain.... 1 3 asian girls with a white girl and they didnt bother to see our photo matched our face but signles out the white one... totally could be racist but thought if the white girl is the issue it wouldnt look like that. 2 if a DL is issued for 10 years during the that term if it was good enough to get a mortgage to prove that its her how come it wasnt good enough 3 if he was anyway not happy with the photo why dragged the drama by asking for a bank card which she clearly had obviously under the same name as DL and then to turn down again asking for a passport.

We arrived a little early and were first in the queue. The security guys were fairly nice and we were let through to the ID checking desk after having our bags checked. Whilst the ladies took our ID's to register them, a short, blond man who we think was the door manager but wasn't there when we were queuing, walked over to the desk, told the girls at the desk to stop chatting and then as he was walking away, he noticed us. He then walked back to the girl at the desk and whispered something to her. At this point, we were about to walk through however the girl then suddenly stopped us and reluctantly asked us to pay 20 each. We were shocked as we were on a guest list so didn't have to pay. As we had planned to celebrate my friends birthday here, we ended up paying 60 between us however we stood by the desk for about 5 minutes to see if the other girls had to pay and none did. Not even the guys paid. We can only put it down to the fact that we were brown and nothing else whilst the other guests who walked through were not brown. Do not go here. There are plenty of better clubs in London and next time, we're going back to the good clubs where everyone is treated equally. Inside, there is no dance floor, limited seating unless you're a VIP and the party doesn't get started until after midnight.

We were on no list but being shortly after 10pm we were hopeful that two well dressed young men may still be able to get in given how early it was. My friend who happens to be white went to the front door to ask a guy with a clipboard if it would be possible for us to get in. All signs were positive and I saw my friend pointing over to my direction and the clipbaord guy nodding. My friend walked back and said yeah its ok, we can just pay entry at the door. Good result or so I thought. After a further 15 minutes we arrived at the front of the queue when the fun began. The clipboard guy said to my friend ""so you two right"" but pointed to my friend and a blonde guy who was by himself in front of us. To which my friend replied ""no its me and my friend here"". And to anyone thinking I'm playing the race card or being sensitive I quote the clipboard guy ""no you told me you was with the blonde guy not the black guy"". He repeated this 3 times. My friend in shock tried to explain why he would say he was with the blonde guy when he has no idea who that guy was. One of the bouncers said ""he's with the black guy"". At which point the clipboard guy walked off inside in apparent disgust but not before telling the bouncers that we're not getting in. At this point my friend and I along with the bemused blonde guy who was on a list are all removed from the queue. I attempted to ascertain why it is a problem that he's with a ""black guy"" but also explain that we genuinely don't know this blonde guy so why is he also being removed from the line. Bouncer reiterated that we can't get in now its too late, the clipboard guy has made his decision.Not let people in because they are black without fear or recrimination in London in 2014 is abhorrent. Black celebrities dont count. After some research I see this is owned by those involved in Mahiki, The Punch Bowl and Whisky Mist.

They were making fun of the fact that they all had AIDs and somehow it was their fault because they were stupid.

Many in our group felt uncomfortable and quickly realized why some people were protesting outside the theater. It would be a funny show if they turned it down a few notches. We can't recommend it and won't go again." +Attraction,Date of experience: January 2018,United States,New York NY,New York City,unknown,"Fantastic, hilarious!","Finally got a chance to see this show, and I'm so glad that I did! I seen lots of other shows including most of Andrew Lloyd Webber and several more serious pieces. This is one of my favorites! It's funny and irreverent bordering on sacrilegious, but ironically it is actually a fairly accurate portrayal of the Mormon religion. Yes, it paints certain stereotypes of racism and naivete, but anybody going into the show knows what they're getting into! Brilliant, funny and timely.

From the first minute i started laughing and couldnt stop the entire play. Not only laugh, also was overwhalmed with the amount of talent on stage. This was the best play ive ever seen in my life. The soundtrack is insane and perfectly made. Two months after, i have the entire soundtrack on my ipad and im listening to it almost every day.Yes. it is THAT good. If you are easily offended by humor and/or have a limit where you go ""oh that''s insulting/racist/mean"" then spare yourself the trouble and don't go.Otherwise if you are the kind of person who likes dark humor and excellent comedy this is the one thing in NY you don't wanna miss.

Theater great as it was small and you had a great view from anywhere. We were in rows K L and they were perfect. It's not a huge broadway production like Lion King but cute. Glad we went but would not pay to see again like I did w/Lion King, Jersey Boys, Avenue Q. My boys were hysterically laughing!" +Attraction,Date of experience: November 2017,United States,New York NY,New York City,unknown,"Very disappointing, bizarrely racist and ignorant representation of Uganda.","We had heard great things about the show probably just listening to too much hype. We never actually researched it and just assumed it would be an entertaining laugh at the expense of the Mormons. And let's face it, with their crazy ideas they are an easy target. But while I have no problem with laughing at those of us who are lucky enough to be rich and powerful I do have a serious issue with the incredibly ignorant and racist portrayal of the people of Uganda where the show is set. Making them out to be all living in huts in the jungle, that they all have AIDs, that they are a backward people whose only dream would be to live in America. One of the characters is excited to be able to send a text message which she does on a manual typewriter. Hilarious, especially considering that cellphone usage in Africa is very, very high with online p2p financial transactions being the norm for years.I expected so much more from the creators of SouthPark.

And the quality of the crew is fabulous. Ok, and yes, some of the songs and choreography is fabulous. But what starts as a enjoyable musical becomes more and more ridculous as the play moves on. Childish, stupidious and in the end with the lowest possible sexridiculous acts. Furthermore, what starts as a somewhat interesting cultural difference, also ends up as a ridiculous discriminative, maybe even racistic, exposure of the supreme white versus the stupid colored sorry if these are not the best political correct words. Artistic freedom still has its limits. I just hated it. Irritating." +Attraction,Date of experience: February 2017,United States,New York NY,New York City,unknown,It's Not Funny,"My wife and I went to see The Book of Mormon with expectations set high due to all the hype. Neither of us are religious and we're both big fans of South Park, Beavis and Butthead, King of the Hill, Family Guy, etc., so we knew this production should be right up our alley. Only problem is, those tv shows are actually funny. Book of Mormon just isn't funny. The line ""I have maggots in my scrotum"" isn't funny it's just stupid. It's really stupid by its 4th repeat. Writing a comedic play like this particularly where they're toeing so close to the racism line would take great satirical skill, which I thought Parker, Stone, et al., had in spades. Trust me they don't. At least they don't show it here and the play does slip into some very unfunny racist views. This play is exactly what you would expect if it was written by two immature 9year old boys who just found out that farts are funny. Vulgarity, cursing, bodily functions in the right hands, these can be the basis of great comedy see Mel Brooks. But it takes talent, and Parker and Stone's comedic talent is nowhere to be seen in this production. And that's what I'm criticizing the comedy. It's just not funny. At all. But...the production values are very good. The cast NYC was great, the singing great and some of the lyrics were very clever. But again...funny No. Now, I know a lot of people think the play is hysterical and I've talked at length with them to find out what they found funny. And, usually, they can't point to anything or what they do point to never holds up outside the theater. Try this with a fan: ask them to repeat one single joke from the play that was funny. Not verbatim just the general ""funny essence."" I haven't come across one fan that can do it. They might think they can do it at first, but then, when the joke comes out of their mouth, I just look at them and watch their face as they realize hmm...yup, that's not funny and sometimes you can see them realize: yup, that's racist. Mormonism, for better or worse, has plenty of fertile ground for vicious satire check it out for yourself on wikipedia or elsewhere on the net. The result should have been a hilarious play. Or, at least, a funny one. Or one that made you laugh. Or maybe think Nope none of that. Instead, it mostly made me look forward to it being over so we could eat." +Attraction,Date of experience: December 2016,United States,New York NY,New York City,unknown,No redeeming quality,"We expected some comedic exaggerations of Mormon history, traditions and activities. Which couldn't have been further from what we saw, jokes about infant molestation, extremely offensive sexual imitations, foul language just to have it we realize that it has a place for effect, but not just because they could, racial slurs, horrifically irreverent not just a few jokes.I've seen over 70 broadway productions and in my opinion, this should never have made it to off Broadway.

As I walked into the theatre I was concerned that due to my ignorance of the Mormon culture, many jokes would sail over my head. But luckily the audience was spoon fed information in a way that seemed perfectly natural, as details of the Book of Mormon were slipped into musically numbers and other comical banter. Speaking of which, the play was absolutely littered with laughoutloud jokes and racism in the funniest way possible. And it was in that way that this play was very much the theatrical incarnation of South Park. And surprisingly The plot was also rather interesting, only knowing the title, I did not expect them to take it in the direction that they did. But I shan't give away anything too vital. This is definitely a must see play on Broadway or in any theatre it may be in." +Attraction,Date of experience: July 2014,United States,New York NY,New York City,unknown,"Raunchy, hilarious","So fun!

There was no place to give a review for that but I wanted to review this because I had reservations about going myself and there are so many mixed reviews. I knew my husband would enjoy the humor but didn't know if I would. It was funny and the jokes were not all aimed at what I call 12 yr old boy humor like I was worried it was as South Park does sometimes. Not for anyone that is easily offended as the humor is inappropriate a little racial and some might be offended if they are super religious but I am not easily offended and profanity does not bother me so I enjoyed it. Was smart in the delivery of it's message. Loved all the characters. Pokes some fun at religion but I don't think it was really offensive to any. Set change were flawless. We loved it and was glad I went. We had lots of fun and I thought it was really funny. It lasted around 2.5 hrs with 15 min reservation and it flew by because we enjoyed it so much. +Attraction,Date of experience: November 2013,United States,New York NY,New York City,unknown,I'm afraid that the world has passed me by.,"I am offended. While distastful, I wasn't offended by the offensive language, the racism, the bigotry, the pedophilia, the bodily function references, or the religious irreverance. What did offend me was the price I paid to see such an unfunny production. I was expecting much more. The cast does a good job, and the production has some witty moments that are very amusing, but I simply cannot understand the over the top reviews of this production. Unless you have a very immature sense of humor, this production simply isn't that funny and certainly not worth the price." +Attraction,Date of experience: August 2013,United States,New York NY,New York City,unknown,And now for an alternative view,"While I agree that the play is engaging on one level, I was appalled at the racist depiction of Africa and Africans. Yes, this was written by the writers of South Park so I expected irreverence but I was unprepared for the fact that every negative stereotype was on display. Substitute any other group that is outside the main stream for Africans and there would be an outcry. There are some very funny bits hence two stars rather than one: I was ambivalent about this rating. Friends tell me I'm being overly sensitive perhaps so, but if you take offense at the presentation of an entire continent for ridicule, go see the Lion King, or the Jersey Boys, or Forever Tango and be purely entertained." +Attraction,Date of experience: August 2013,United States,New York NY,New York City,unknown,Hilarious and Shocking and Poignant,"I think you should judge a MUSICAL by how often you find yourself singing the songs and for how long after the show...well I keep singing ""I am a Mormon, and Mormons just believe"" and ""Hello, my name is.....""

I am a lapsed Catholic, so I know all about religious fanaticism in everyday life ... You judge a SATIRE on how it's message affects you, and this affects your very core. There are more than one.... I remember at one point laughing my head off and then suddenly being pulled up short at the poignancy of the message and another time just being totally shocked by the abrupt turn of event on stage..anyone who thinks it is racist is probably not able to appreciate that humour our can highlight what racism is, and the line in ""I Believe"", that God changed his mind about black people in 1978 from memory may have the date out may be used today that the Pope changed his mind about gay people in 2013... Anyway no more spoilers but if you can take the language and understand that it is meant to be an irreverent poke at religion, don't miss it....we were lucky to get returns on Friday for the Saturday show for 159, so worth checking out the Box Office.... we had aisle seats behind each other at edge of theatre, row J and K I think....and we had a great view although ""restricted"". The theatre is very quirky, and as they don't mind you drinking at your seats take your own... The most shocking thing was 60 for two G and Ts...supposed to be doubles.... I see one reviewer too children, at 10 probably the language may have gone over their heads, whilst the message is a great one for kids, I would not take my 13 yr old...I don't let him watch South Park but will recommend he sees it when he is older, I am sure it is set to run and run." +Attraction,Date of experience: August 2013,United States,New York NY,New York City,unknown,"Vulgar, uninspired, cheap, gratuitous, blasphemous, racist.","Without question, the worst thing I have EVER seen.

The music is excellent and the lyrics, though crass and filled with expletives, are smart and witty. The staging is brilliant somehow simultaneously over the top and simple. The cast is phenomenal Josh Gad is fantastically and lovably geeky. My face hurt from laughing and smiling during this show, which is not something I experience on a regular basis. We plan to see it again soon.If you enjoy South Park, you will enjoy this musical. My 73yearold father does not like South Park, but loved BOM. However, in general, if you think South Park is intolerably offensive, you will likely not enjoy this musical. I can think of a fairly long list of friends and family who would not be able to stomach this show if you cannot laugh at your religion, are very literal in your religious views, and/or wouldn't be able to tolerate blasphemy in any context, you will probably hate this play. However, most of the people I went with identify with an organized religious group including Christianity, Judaism, Unitarianism, and Buddhism, represent multiple racial/cultural backgrounds, and age groups 23 to 73, and we all enjoyed it very much despite the fact that there were parts of the play in which the jokes specifically targeted each and every one of us at some point. The play pokes fun at just about everyone and everything like South Park, they dont hold back when dolling out the jokes. My husband and I were both speechless the first time we heard Hasa Diga Ebowai, but in the context of the show as a whole, we've accepted it as an undeniably catchy song with some pretty good points about the effect of human misery on faith. There are words in the show I would never use, and lines in the show that go against everything I believe in, but I would still recommend it to anyone but the most conservative of my friends and family. I think it's ultimately positive about the value of religion and the joy it can bring us, and that there is an underlying faith in the inherent goodness of human beings, which is refreshing compared to the negativity we see in so many other forums." +Attraction,Date of experience: June 2018,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,"Kathmandu, Nepal","""Racist Bouncers !

After continuously asking for our tickets which we clearly showed to 5 different staff members including security. The manager turns up and tells us that unfortunately we are not allowed entry and should decide to look elsewhere as our tickets will be refunded within the next 24 hours.

However, this is very unacceptable from the manager as firstly throughout the conversation we had, we were very polite with him from the start and did not want to give him any reason however he still decided not to talk to us after we asked him the reason we are not let entry very politely and told us to move away from the site when they owed us 200!!

The first time my friends and I visited the club we were not granted access due to lack of heels. My second time was yesterday on Thursday 12th of November where I came with the same group of people as I did the first time and the first excuse the so called bouncer named ALBERTO gave me with so much arrogance was ""sorry if you have no reservation you can not come in"" but yet other guests walked in casually without a problem but we were determined to party at the club due to all the positive feedback we had heard. So we tried the second time to get in but the same bouncer again told us and I quote ""WE ARE NOT UP TO PACHA IBIZA STANDARDS"" and we stood and watched as most of the guests of colour were being turned away for one lousy reason or another.With this type of disrespect and racism experience i wonder whether the colour of skin should be what determines a good night out.Thank you." +Attraction,Date of experience: November 2015,Middle East,United Arab Emirates,Emirate of Dubai,unknown,Racism!!!,According to ALBERTO the security guy with the white shirt and no hair we were not of pacha ibiza standards and many other black people were turned away and being given one lame excuse after the other.

So please business owners in Bali in general, stop being racist to your own kind! Me and my family spent nearly 1.5 million rupiah there for food and entrance and that was just us this is before my beer cost count!As for the establishment...There are around 6 pools here and they come in different sizes. Lots of place for children to enjoy, there are 3 children pool I think. Great for family for sure and food is quite reasonable, don't expect cheap food and also forget about 5 star services and taste in this kind of establishment. They are in the middle of nowhere, so logistic is difficult, which contribute to the slightly more expensive price tag.As for the pool, well, I heard my young nephew bout 12 y.o. were not given the access to one of the pool in front of the sunken bar possibly because of the alcohol charge he's too small and this particular pool mainly serves alcohol or maybe because it was just plain discrimination /racism. Honestly I did not see any other Indonesian in that part of the pool but me. For me, I did not encounter this case I just swim everywhere I like. So I am unsure how to react to this particular detail.As for spa, expensive. Totally skip this part.Facilities toilet well its public and u share with lots of people so ewwwh!.

I tried to question her statement, and she made herself clearer that..... I HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE BEST SPOT UPSTAIRS IS ONLY FOR FOREIGNERS. Can anybody explain to me how a business can be blatantly racist I can't digest it at all. Long story short, we got to the place and the first thing I saw was a wooden banner, with text ""FOREIGNER LOBBY"" with an arrow pointing to a nicer entrance, and ""DOMESTIC LOBBY"" with an arrow pointing to a sad looking parking lot. My group of 30 people managed to get in through the Foreigner Lobby because I was super upset and the Nenny girl was cornered not being able to explain logically to me. And because, of course, we had a ability to pay... 300K IDR/person, c'mon.... it's PATHETIC to think that Indonesians won't afford feakin' 20 dollar!!

""If you know what you want, you tell me, but we don't like people coming in and just tracking leaves around."" My response, ""Delightful."" We promptly exited. It was so strangely offcue that we even speculated that she may getting demented, as people losing memory will get irritable and say things which don't always follow social cues well or seem out of character. Other reviewers have commented on her political rants or that she might be racist. There was a large pro Ben Carson sign on a rack next to the front door, so this would seem less likely.

Also this delightful old bat has been quoted saying that the Irish are the nwords of Europe. I mean, really lady I'm Irish and my fiance is Italian and she was incredibly rude to both of us about our heritage and even dared to interrogate about where we were from we're natives, she insisted we were tourists and what we do for a living before promptly shooing us out the door.

With 'cad mle filte' emblazoned above the door which means a hundred thousand welcomes and both my husband and I being of Irish and Scottish descent, we thought we'd browse the cute shop especially since there were kitschy, fun gift items displayed in the window. Upon entry we were immediately asked what were were looking for and i advised her we were just browsing. After repeating this conversation 3 times, we we're told 'thats not what we do here' and then the old nutter advised us that we didn't need to be browsing 'on this side of town' and needed 'to go elsewhere for that'. As we walked out the door, we encountered a Hispanic family also just wanting to browse this cute shop on a cute street in the lovely town of Asheville, just like we wanted to do and the way they were treated was truly appalling. This woman is racist, rude, and bad for Ashevilles business. I'm still in shock from the experience as I've never been kicked out of a store in my life. We are wellseasoned travelers, civil, well dressed, free of body odor and oh yes! We're Scots Irish!!!! Not to mention, I'm a card carrying member of the DAR and had relatives who settled in Jamestown! Yet this bitter old hag apparently chooses her customers based upon whim and only opens the shop to those SHE deems appropriate or worthy.

You'll have to pay for a table with a minimum spend of 50 euros for drinks, per person, before you go in. Although I don't think that rule applies to the locals too.What puzzled me is why one HAS TO drink alcohol when clubbing!!! I suppose they should just say that the entrance is 50 euros,and that would sound better because not everyone drinks alcohol. FYI We were in a group were not everyone drank alcoholNow, the price of the entrance fee or 'entry for alcohol' wasn't the main issue, but if I am going to spend my money, no matter how little, I should be happy to do so. I should not feel like I am paying my hard earned money and begging to get into a place where I do not fell like I am welcomed.I personally found the manager, and the door man to an extent, 'power tripping'. I wouldn't go as far as saying they were racist, although his/their demeanour didn't leave me with many other options. I hate to say, but I would not recommend this club to a minority person/group. You're better off spending 1000 euros where you're welcomed than 10 euros where you are at best tolerated.One of the the manager's parting remarks was '...this is the best club in Bratislava'. But if he didn't get my reply on the night, and I know he'll probably get it now, 'I've been to clubs from Tokyo to London, Mexico to Dubai, and around the world, and I've found only one club worse than yours, and that's 'Coyote Fly' in Riga. 'Best' doesn't necessary mean what you can squeeze out of your patrons in terms of money, its the experience and your expertise in delivering'.

She translated, that they said, that its to full inside but they were still letting people inside, so that could not have been the reason, so me and my friends started arguing with the security people. After a while they started saying, that they cant let me inside because of my dress code, which wasn't the truth because I was wearing the same clothes like my friend, who got inside. The longer we were standing there the more we realized, that they only rejected girls that were either black or overweight. We got so angry about the discrimination they were doing that we started protesting and confronting them, that what they were doing was racist and not okay. A lot of the rejected girls started crying because they were so hurt by the way the staff of the club treated them. We started filming the situation to publish it, so everyone can see, what a club the octagon is. When they saw us doing that they got really mad and started pushing us away and slapping the phone of one of my friends hands.

So after making note of this obvious dislike for us, we made it through the 9th hole and once again the same older staff member made a few more rude comments. It was obvious he didn't want ""our kind"" there, which is weird because I've played at better and more expensive private courses without being treated like a second class citizen.

Of course we all left to another club.Mind you I had heard other horrible stories of the staff being racist and rude to other people as well and a lot of people complaining about this, which sadly I didnt heed to. it would appear these racist acts are against black people or foreigners in general.

This was bad enough, and but the other responded by asking ""was he Jewish"" I was horrified and told the the clerks these comments were not acceptable, and that one did not talk about customers in front of others, nor should they disparage people based upon their supposed religion. Rather than apologizing, they told me that other Jews had been in the store and had been ""pushy"" so this made their comments ok.

The company employs and encourages Racist behavior. I and my wife had an awful experience in one of the tours to Grand Canyon and this post will reflect how badly the company manages and handles such Racist behaviour. I have travelled many countries but this was the worst Racist comment I've ever come accross. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE TOURS FROM THIS COMPANY.Following is the point by point story of this terrible experience.1 It was a single biggest mistake of booking a Grand Canyon tour through this company, Anyway, our tour coordinator Jeff a day before asked us to hop on the bus which has a signage of 18002 Grand Canyon on bus from treasure Island.2 We were putting up in Venitian Resort however Jeff insisted that the pick up point would be from treasure Island to which we agreed to and we were asked to reach the pathway of treasure island at 6.10 am.3 Around 6.05am we spotted a bus with the signage 1800Grand Canyon near treasure island and we were trying to find a door way to get on the bus. At that time, the driver was continuously honking at the car which was ahead of the bus. My wife went in front of the bus and asked the driver to open the door, to which his reply was get off the road in a very arrogant tone. He opened his window and told us that we are at a wrong spot again arrogantly and we need to be at the treasure island pick up point to which our reply was why are you shouting at us He shut the window off and he kept honking at the car ahead of us. And then, he continuously was honking for about 23 mins at a stretch at 6.05 am. This was a behavioural issue of first speaking to a Woman in that manner and then shouting at us of why we are standing at the wrong spot. This happened because we live in Venetian not treasure island, in no way we could've known the exact location of the pick up point and even if we we're at the wrong spot, the driver could've been humble enough to tell us that and show us some direction on where to stand, instead of was fuming at us.4 After the bus came at the pick up point, we went inside the bus, and he told us that we we're standing at the wrong spot. But since he was shouting at us earlier, I told him that this is not the way to speak to anyone and he needs to speak with us nicely. To which he started arguing about the situation and in that I told him not to spoil our morning and our trip to Grand Canyon and in that argument he said, I don't know how you two me and wife got in this country and he continued with his statement which was in relation to our Nationality and that nobody wants us here. This was a Racial remark against my community, nationality and to many such Asians especially Indians who are in the United States and such kind of behaviour is unacceptable. I told him to Shut Up and we decided to stay quiet since we did not want to spoil our trip but thought about registering an official complaint against the bus driver as well as the company who employs such folks which is disgraceful. 5 After speaking to their manager DAN from Grand Canyon Tour Company he asked me to send an official complaint to the email ID, to which I did. The reaction was very subdued as if they have already decided to do nothing about it, anyway I emailed them giving them a full picture of what really happened.6 Since then, not even a single apology phone call or even a revert on my email is made by the company which is disgraceful.Therefore I urge all folks especially Asians who are in search of Grand Canyon tours to look somewhere else and not this company who employs Racist folks." +Attraction,Date of experience: September 2018,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,"Racist driver ""luxury vehicle"" was like riding in a trunk Company won't respond STAY AWAY!!!!","This company doesn't even deserve a 0 star. My husband and I did the ""VIP Hollywood tour"" though this company at the end of September when we went to Las Vegas and it was the biggest mistake of the trip.The website boasts ""luxury vehicles with WIFI"" but it was a Ford F550 bus As per Steve from guest relations on another Trip advisor review, the vehicle was to be one of their ""fleet of luxury Mercedes"", with no shocks, no legroom, no WIFI and 3 of the 5 TVs on the bus didn't work. To top it off, it's supposed to be a siteseeing tour, however they covered the bus in a black wrapping so you couldn't even see out the windows. It's a 14 hour tour. It was like riding in a trunk. picture attachedThe driver Nino made racist and derogatory comments about women and other cultures the whole day which we found very offensive.Not once did anyone tell us that there was no supper stop, or to pick up food at one of the stops, so we didn't eat from 1:30 when we had lunch, until 11:30 when we got back to our hotel. The website advertises a free ballcap, however when we inquired we were told that they were out, and to contact the main office. As per below, the main office doesn't respond to anything. At the Santa Monica pier we were told to go explore and meet back at the restaurant at 1:30. We got to the restaurant at 1:26 and were yelled at by the driver for being late. Santa Monica we had less than a half hour. At each stop we were dropped off at some random point, given vague instructions and left on our own to see who knows what, we weren't told. At the Chinese theater in Hollywood the group was taken to a mall, directed up the escalators and then left by ourselves to figure out what the heck we were supposed to be looking for apparently the hollywood sign which we found out from another tour groupAbsolutely terrible tour. Waste of vacation time and money. What makes it worse is we've contacted the company multiple times, even spoke to a woman named Rose over the phone who promised she would handle it, and no one will respond. We've also contacted the better business bureau, who advised that this company has an F rating because they won't even respond to them regarding past issues.SAVE YOUR MONEY. Go with a credible company with inoffensive drivers with vehicles you can actually see out of." +Attraction,Date of experience: April 2017,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Lots of 'padding' and long waits,"The actual 3 hours at the Grand Canyon's West rim and the Skywalk were wonderful and I encourage other visitors to see this spectacular sight. But if you have a fear of heights, I'd advise not actually buying a ticket to walk on the Skywalk until you've seen it. It was the bus trip itself and the bus driver that spoiled what should have been a spectacular day.Scheduled for a 6:10 a.m. pick up at our hotel, we rose at 5:30 a.m. and were at the designated pickup spot by 6. When the bus arrived, we were told it was not the bus which would take us to the Grand Canyon it was only a shuttle which would take us to the office of the Grand Canyon Tour Company not at all what we were expecting. Once we reached the tour company's building, we waited outside in the parking lot for 11/2 hours before boarding our bus then sat on the bus for an additional 15 minutes before leaving. One of the reasons we chose this tour company was because their website stated we would not need to disembark and wait for a shuttle once we reached the Grand Canyon and that their company was the only one allowed to drive onto the reservation This turned out not to be true and like all the other companies' buses that came onto the reservation land, we had to take a shuttle to the three sites at the rim. But it was all the delays and 'padding' during they day that made the trip tedious. Along the way to the Grand Canyon, we made a trip to the Hoover Dam Walkway where the driver kept us on the bus in the parking lot for 5 minutes telling us what we were going to see. I mean, seriously We couldn't simply get off the bus and see the sight And, quite frankly, we saw just as much when we drove over the adjacent road later twice, so the 1/2 hour stop was unnecessary. When we arrived at the Grand Canyon at noon, the driver said he expected to leave ""around 3:15."" Given his penchant for repetition, it was surprising he only mentioned the departure time once and didn't tell passengers when to be back at the bus. It was less surprising when several of the passengers didn't return by the 3:15 departure time. We ended up waiting another 40 minutes until everyone was aboard and we could leave.During the 13 hour day, we were 'treated' to stops at two different gas stations, as well as racist and sexist comments from the driver plus complaints about tourists and how when driving on the Strip he liked ""to play a game where we get the bus as close to the pedestrians without hitting them."" We also got the 'benefit' of a 15minute hard luck story about how little drivers make and how he, the driver, did so much for the passengers because tips are important. Though the website and the sides of the buses proclaim ""Free Wifi"" there's apparently no service for most the area the bus travels through so why advertise something that passengers can't actually access Power outlets were available in each seat row and the driver encouraged passengers to use them to charge their devices, but none of them worked the passengers tried them all. What should have been an amazing day turned into a 13 hour slog broken up by a 3hour visit to the stunning Grand Canyon. We checked other tour companies after our adventure and it's always going to be a long day but this was still long in comparison. And the driver's incessant rambling only made the day feel longer." +Attraction,Date of experience: April 2017,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Lack of customer service and caution for Any Asian for attend the tour,We attended 1 day west rim tour. We felt disappointed to tour guide. He was quite rude and racist toward Asian people. The tour company did not provide any information/ brochure. The lunch meal was not fresh. It was freeze burger and snack. Most of other tour served very fresh lunch. Do not believe the website which look so professional. +Attraction,Date of experience: September 2016,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,Our tour bus driver was terrible and the experience not so good.,"The Tour Company advertises WiFi. We had absolutely no WiFi on bus 1963. The only time we had WiFi was when we parked next to another Grand Canyon Tour Bus at a rest stop and we could use their signal until we pulled away when we lost the signal immediately. They picked us up in a luxury bus, right on time, from our hotel. That bus then dropped us off at their ""terminal"" where we had to wait in a long line that snaked back and forth like at a theme park ride to reach a counter where we were assigned to our bus... Our bus was old, had window shades that you had to manually roll up by hand as they were broken, and offered no WiFi. Our driver used foul language over the P.A., and made racist as well as inappropriate comments directed toward our Japanese passengers who did not speak nor understand English. The driver showed us a pirated copy of a movie, and then proceeded to show us a pirated copy of a Las Vegas ventriloquist show that contained many sexual and homophobic innuendos. We were highly offended, as were the passengers sitting across from us. At the end of the tour, the driver told the bus load of people that since we were running late, he would be dropping some of them in a central location close to their hotels instead of at their hotels and they would have to walk. Lots of arguments ensued between the driver and passengers. We were not at all happy, and embarrassed for international visitors to Las Vegas and the USA who had to endure the time spent with this driver. The Grand Canyon was just beautiful and we were afforded plenty of time to take in its majesty. It's just a shame that the tour company permits a driver such as this man to represent them." +Attraction,Date of experience: April 2016,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,unknown,"Bizarre, Awkward, Racially Insensitive ","Proof that advertising campaigns work. WOW.First impression VERY disorganized! The ""hotel to hotel"" pickup and drop off was not at our hotel, but rather a nearby hotel. This was made clear to us when we reserved over the phone and was not a surprise. However, what was not made clear was the bus we got on at ""pick up"" at a nearby hotel was not our tour bus. It was just a pickup bus. We didn't know that's what we were on until we arrived at the tour bus company site and the bus driver finally said something to us. We'd been on the bus picking people up and getting ourselves situated and never once did anyone tell us this wasn't our bus. Actually, the bus driver never said 2 words to us other than clarifying our names before we got on the bus. So we packed up our stuff again, in a rush to get off the bus, and were corralled into the ticket building where there was a long line went pretty quick, actually and 'breakfast' a coffee station individually packaged danishes you might see in bulk boxes from BJ's or Costco. Not entirely impressive, but then again, what else would be expected.The feeling at this ticket building and the busses was complete chaos. Employees holding doors open doesn't equate to an organized presentation. No one seemed to know where to go to get to their bus. We figured it out by watching others who had asked about their busses, but it seemed like a grand majority of patrons learned where to go by also asking other patrons. Not a great way to promote on site safety, considering busses are coming and going and patrons are walking around the parking lot lost and confused. In addition, as I was first in the line for our bus, attempting to start an orderly line a safe distance from our bus aka ""in front of the bus, not between 2 busses"" a man walked up in front of where I was standing and declared himself 1st in line. Then came the rest of his family. Apparently, in some countries he didn't speak a word of English you have to be hugging a bus door in order to be considered 1st in line. So some sort of sign or placard that indicates a safe place to stand in line for each bus is something I would recommend highly.After finally boarding the bus this process took forever while all passengers watched our bus driver do his pretravel walkthru we were on our way. I must add that our bus driver didn't address anyone standing in line while he entered and exited his bus on numerous occasions. We had been told the bus number by another bus driver, but some sort of acknowledgement we were in the right place at the right bus, while we all stood there acting as this guy's audience for quite a lengthy time, would have gone a long way. Maybe even a statement that he was doing a safety check and would be done shortly, or something. Busses were leaving what if someone in line was in line for the wrong bus numberOur bus driver was 'Texas' born and raised, but still, he was really good with regional facts, trivia, and typical tourguide humor. He took his hands off the wheel a few times to point things out to us, but the ride was smooth and entertaining. His driving skills seemed to be really good. Which brings us to the actual Grand Canyon West site on he Hualupai Nation lands. WOW. What a madhouse of chaos. This place is a blue ribbon tourist trap. Are there views YesIs the Grand Canyon a majestic site to behold Absolutely!Was every man, woman, and child treated like a dollar sign YES. Overwhelmingly, YES. It was a disenchanting experience before we even made our first of the 3 stops along the Hualapai Nation's West Rim tour.The first stop is a mock Hualapai Village. The 2nd is the SkyWalk which you need to pay extra and can't take anything onto it with you no phones, cameras, bags... nothing, and the 3rd is a scenic outlook over the canyon. There is a large raised section of canyon wall a mound, of sorts that you can climb and see in 360 to the canyon, all around. The location is super clean. The employees were all extremely nice pleasant. The bathroom facilities were clean, functional, and well kept. The Grand Canyon Tour Company's bus company's box lunch was sufficient to address hunger, but that was it. A bready sandwich, chips, and a cookie. The bus was comfortable but the WIFI was a sham. It's not that we 'might' get kicked off or have a bad connection b/c so many ppl are accessing it at the same time like the bus driver told us. We know this because no one was on the bus when we tried to connect to it and it still wouldn't let us connect. The fact is, the WIFI does not work. It is not connectable. The bus WiFi was a selling point when purchasing our tickets. There were a few selling points, actually. Among them were: the breakfast, box lunch, WIFI, and early return time. I must note that the bus driver stated the WIFI would be very iffy, before we even left view of the parking lot. He also noted that the company has been complaining to the WIFI provider about it and they're trying to get a better system in place. So, this being known, it is safe to say the company knows it should be telling all ticket buyers this fact since WIFI is such a big selling point for this bus company, compared to others.The rest stop our bus made halfway to the Western Rim was at a gas station I like to refer to as ""the saddest place in America"". Congratulations Arizona, you win the boobie prize for this one. Bus tours stream through here numerous times a day. I was aghast at how trashy the outside of this store was. The bathrooms in the store weren't entirely impressive. I'd call them 'marginally clean', at best. And there were not enough stalls to address a bus load of people.Our time at the Western Rim was 'adequate', and I only say this b/c we purchased our tickets at a discount price. If we'd have paid full price for this my review would have been a more pointbypoint analysis of the tourist trap both of these operations truly are. I expect more from an experience that takes me to an American gem and some of the most unique geologic formations on the entire planet. People came from all over the world on our bus, alone to see this site. What was offered all of us was 'adequate' on all fronts.What may be daytoday visual experiences for people who live in this region of the American Southwest is something tourists are likely seeing for the very first time. This is a concept that is clearly lost to the bus company and the Hualapai Nation, per my experience on this tour.After finishing our tour of the Grand Canyon we still had 2 hours left to our 4 hour stay. We wound up booking an onthespot helicopter flight, and that made our day complete. It was very basic, but that was what we needed a quick out and back. It was pricey, and I think that's the point. The more you spend, the better time you have at Grand Canyon West. This disappoints me not because we don't want to pay to play, but more because 'this is the Grand Canyon'. When you're surrounded by this much beauty and geologic history you shouldn't have to spend a fortune to enjoy your time while being surrounded by it. IT should be enough. There were no trails to walk on. There were no paths to traverse. No uniquely possible photo spots.Every single place we were corralled into so were, also, droves of other people. Every visible area was saturated with bus loads of tourists. There was not a single place of peace at this monstrous geologic site not one. If anyone was looking to have a spiritual experience at one of the most glorious places the American Landscape has to offer, the Hualapai Nation made it nearly impossible to do so. As I mentioned, we did a helicopter tour to the bottom of the canyon and then a short river boat run. The helicopter was safe and smooth, and well worth the trip. It's pricey but worth it. I suggest comparing prices of buying onsite vs. in a combo with your bus ticket, because I think there's a difference. We went on a helicopter tour at the last minute because the rest of the sightseeing at the ""West Rim"" was such a disappointment.We arrived back at the bus 1 hour before our planned departure time, as reiterated by our bus driver. He had told us he would stay with the bus so we anticipated he'd be there. When we got there he was nowhere to be found. More people showed up directly after we did, and they knocked on the bus door. The weather had shifted and it went from cool and breezy, when we arrived, to chilly, windy and drizzling in the last hour, only, our driver was nowhere to be found. A bunch of people stood between 2 busses to keep warm. And more people arrived at the bus. It was cold, windy, people were in shorts and short sleeve shirts, and we couldn't get into our bus. People knocked. Another bus driver of a different bus swore our driver was in the bus, so he knocked. Finally, a couple minutes later another person knocked and up popped our driver. The ride home was ... bizarre. That's the best way to describe it. Our driver, whom we already considered ""racially insensitive"" understatement, due to his numerous racially driven statements on the ride to the Canyon, took to singing out loud speaking a bunch of the punchlines to the dialog that was being played on a video he put in for us to watch. I suppose it's nitpicky in a way But he puts a video in a comedy show playing on the Las Vegas strip and then he announces all the punchlines directly before the punchlines are delivered by the people in the video. So it's like why are we watching this It was more weird than annoying, but he wouldn't stop and so we were trapped there as we listened to our bus driver predeliver the entire script, at points, of this video, and then awkwardly look back at us people in his eyeline for what seemed to be some sort of approval. It was weird. I'll definitely chalk it up to that. I suppose it's when our driver started smacking himself across the face while driving us back to Las Vegas that I started to think maybe this guy has been behind the wheel a little too long. And, when he made a small number of sexually inappropriate jokes at the expense of women which my husband found 'awkward' because there were women present we just sort of grimaced and cringed, speechless. And if that wasn't enough, I have to laugh when I type this, my husband did not respond to one of the inappropriate jokes and so the bus driver clarified the punchline by enunciating loudly what he thought my husband simply did not hear. When we finally escaped the bus he told me he didn't respond because it was offensive to women and not something he would want said in front of his wife me, so ignoring it was said at all seemed to be the most reasonable thing to do. It was like the bus driver had no sense that his nature would be considered a mite bit inappropriate to the English speaking patrons aboard.We arrived back at the hotel by around 6:00pm 6:30pm. Right before dropping off the first bunch of people at their hotel the bus driver reminded everyone that drivers don't make that much as drivers so tips are greatly appreciated, and the recommended tip amount is 15.00 to 20.00 per person. Literally, the bus driver told us all it is ""recommended"" that the tip be for 15.00 to 20.00 per person. We laughed at each other when we heard the driver recommend how much each person tip we really did. We were going to tip anyway and we did tip him anyway. It was the way it was said to the tourists, it was just another awkward moment on this bus. We had started out our tour with racially inappropriate behaviors toward nonEnglishspeaking patrons. We then listened to numerous racially insensitive remarks, which seemed to flow without a care in the world, fall out of his mouth between here and there. We'd been made to stand out in the cold, wind, and drizzle while he slept in the bus he told us would be open and available to us during our time at the West Rim. We listened to him make inappropriate sexist remarks jokes, sing louder than the radio for a stretch of awkward time, verbally predict entire sections of a video he put on the tv's for us to watch, and we watched in confusion as he slapped himself across the face on numerous occasions on the way home. But yah please do ""suggest a recommended tip"" of 15.00 to 20.00 a person. By all means! Look at that, I'm chuckling again Hey, what kind of vacation doesn't create a quirky memory or twoMy advice for this tour company and this tour to the West Rim Hualapai Nation of the Grand Canyon is to just know what you're getting into. I won't say don't do it, but I will say to read all the different ranges of reviews before deciding. Read some good, some bad, and some neutral. It'll help you understand what others may have gone through and then help you determine how much you think it's worth to get to the Hualapai Nation lands because you can drive there yourself quicker and easier. We took this tour because it was convenient to have someone else drive we thought and there was supposed to be WIFI to keep us busy." +Attraction,Date of experience: January 2019,Middle East,United Arab Emirates,Emirate of Dubai,unknown,Top ,"Loved this place Great music, beautiful and stylish people, top service.

We watched a drag act and two comedians and had a thoroughly good night with belly aching laughter. Drink prices were more than the average bar prices but this is normal for show bars with no entrance fees.

We had a few drinks and about 10.30 the music kicked in .. And a trumpet player who was just great was on stage .. The music was spot on the age group is so wide spread that we heard tunes from old school RnB .. To new stuff current but stylish .. The atmosphere was great and everyone was enjoying the night .. I see reviews on here about being turned away and racist .. And I don't see how there was a mixed crowd from every race in there .. They are obviously are picky about the crowd but this makes it feel safe and that is important to me in such a busy venue .. We enjoyed our visit 100 and will return again ..

We decided to book a VIP table and that proved to be a brilliant idea. The main dance floor at the club became very crowded through the night so it definitely helped having a table in the large VIP section.Clubs in Spain definitely seem to target VIP customers so i would suggest saving up and going that route and you will receive the best service and comfort at the club.The crowd at Opium is definitely cosmopolitan and you are bound to meet people from many different countries.

It's buzzing, an amazing night club, the staff are friendly enough, you meet all sorts of people from all around the world. At Opium, I spent some of my favourite nights in Barcelona, and it's definitely the best club I've ever been to. The music is great, the atmosphere is great. A good mixture of a good party but also it has a classy feel. You shouldn't have any problems getting in based on race despite some reviews you may read, I'm black, two of my friends are Asian, and we had absolutely no problem. The only thing I would say is to dress up and you'll have no issue. I'd definitely recommend getting on Isaac's guestlist using youbarcelona.com. You get free entry before 2am, fantastic. Perfect to avoid the 1520euro entry fee. The drinks are quite expensive but you can only complain so much when they're filling three quarters of your glass with vodka!I'd heard about Opium and read mixed reviews here on tripadvisor. Personally, I'd give the place a five star. There are all types of people there, locals and tourists from allll around the world. The smoking/outdoor area is awesome, we actually spent most of our last night in Barcelona tipsily bouncing around and dancing on the white sofas outside in the VIP area outside which was so easy to get into, even without wristbands with all of the new friends we'd made. Having read about racist bouncers and other peoples' racist encounters, I was very worried about going to Opium. Completely unnecessary!

Out of a group of 24 of us, all wearing very similar clothes, the bouncer singled out our black friend and our two Asian friends as not being allowed in because of the 'dress code'. All the rest of the group who happened to be white were allowed in. This was disgusting.Later on that night, having asked to talk to the manager and explaining that we would not accept this, a bouncer came over to one of our group, who was being totally calm, and slapped him in the face.And even if you ignore this, it is a terrible club. A mixture of tourists mostly American and loaded Spanish kids: The uniform is pastel designer shirts for boys, black designer dresses for girls. Occasionally you see a desperate businessman in a suit trying to grab a girl half his age. They play Rick Ross and other chart rubbish, which they can't even mix properly. Oh and a beer is 9 euros.

And the last night; July 16, 2014 we decided to just hangout at a club by the beach. So, when we got there we heard the security man is arguing with another man. We didn't know why but we were guessing because the man didn't have proper outfit. But if it was that case ""the security "" didn't have the right to curse the other man out or wanted to fight him. The security man should just do his little damn job that he can only do, to secure. Next thing we noticed the other man just left said ""F you"" to the security man. Therefore, the security man got upset and hit the guy who was already drunk in his head. The guy fell on the ground. And the security man went hiding. Police came and did nothing all because the man that the security man hit was Armenian. We heard Spain Armenian do Not get along. Which my friends I thought that was totally unfair. Because if it was an American the security man would have never done that. As an American, that club is so racist. I don't commend things like that.

Everyone dress up so if you are heading there with a snickers and expect the bouncer would let you in, do it on your own peril, my advice is dress up... This place gets packed almost every night of the week, drinks are 14 euros each, i think for a nightclub of this scale it s very reasonable... Some reviews mentioned rude staff and bouncers, in my 8 nights stay, i went there every night and i have never had anything but a smile or a nice chat with the staff, the drink costs 14 euros may be to leave a one euro tip to the bartender think about it : ... because he will, you always win when you tip the bartender , about the bouncers if you are well dressed and you are handling yourself , they won' t bother you they are just doing their job, some of them are actually fun, had few chit chats with some of them,, most of the times you see some touristic police with them on the outside to secure the exit which is very good. Some reviews mentioned racist bouncers towards some, i think it might be true, but the true reason about it is to prevent some professionals to get in, but i think you can still get in dress well come early from the see side entry and go early for dinner , you are sure to get in." +Attraction,Date of experience: June 2013,Europe,Spain,Catalonia,unknown,"Glam, Young Crowd, Commercial Music, Expensive","Had a 15 Strawberry Daiquiri early evening after a long day at the beach, lovely comfy, white lounging chairs DJ made it was quite difficult to leave.....if we could have afforded another cocktail!

Unfortunately it may be true what others have said about rude racist bouncers, I witnessed one of them stop one mixed race girl with a group of 3 white friends they made a big deal about her age until her friends insisted that they would not go in without her, odd behavior as they were obviously all about the same age, but I cannot truly know their motive for this!!

The tickets are sold by guys hustling on the street, and I get the sense their contractors not employees, so they can wheel and deal on prices. Face value of the ticket is 30, but quickly if you show that youre waffling or wanting to make a deal, the price starts falling. We got 2 tickets for 30. Ive read that folks have scored a 10 pp price. So all in all, 100 for a couple hours entertainment would not be bad. But oh man, it was bad. When I decided to write a review, I read some others beforehand and actually the other reviews are spot on. I appreciate the fact that discomfort is necessary to affect social change and a lot of comedians aspire to do just that. I can also appreciate that some comedians can go overboard and if s/he has the misfortune to have a sensitive audience member, it can lead to a bad reviewthis should be a rare or occasional combination. HOWEVER, the show was replete with overt racism that offends a person of average sensibilities. The all black cast took their pound of flesh and then some. Worse yet, all but one of the six or so performers were talentless. The one who wasnt talentless would almost qualify to be a warm up act anywhere else. I hope this review helps.

I appreciate intelligence in my comedic favourites. Being a comedian is a tough gig and requires skills most dont have. Hence why people can charge money for being good at being funny. It requires smart wit, on the spot thinking and stage charisma. These guys had very little of those things. My opinion is not king, however, I feel that when a comedian uses mostly only insults to the crowd, racism, sexism and stereotypes Im wondering why youre in the job If youve lost that much sincere interest in your writing, why are you there And thats sort of the vibe that came across too they didnt want to be there. Its easy to stereotype, thats almost copying every other try hard out there. Its easy to insult, were naturally quite judgmental. Its easy to be sexist, we havent long moved past gender imbalance, most current generations remember it. And racism is a problem thats very much alive and is actually considered a crime where I am from. Racial discrimination isnt tolerated in my country. Their shows were easy. I could have gotten up there and done more or less the same gig if thats the clubs Level of expecation. Im not a precious type at all, in fact, I laughed a fair bit. Problem here is that I will have a giggle at most things. I laugh at myself. When Im alone.And I dont mind a bit of banter, its my favourite game.

He pointed to someone else and said, you know you are afraid of himYou know when you are getting in a plane and you hear Arabic, you are like I am not getting on here. This is about to blow up. I gave him a thumbs down and got up to leave, when he said, did I offend you. I responded, this is Islamophobic, you are a fueling hate. It is not funny, and it is not okay. He replied, fine if you dont like it, leave. Just take your ugly face out of here. In defiance, I took a sit on the front row. I was not about to let an Islamophobic and racist individual intimidate me. For the remainder of his act, he made rape jokes targeting me. He told me to leave again, but I didnt. His rhetoric got worse and he began inciting violence in the audience. He encouraged one girl to beat up the people who had walked outAt his point at least 7 people got up and left. I love comedy, it is a coping mechanism for a harsh world. I tend to have a dark humor and I am okay with being made fun of. I went there to laugh. Yet the problem is that Islamophobia is never funny. Inciting violence is never funny.I had managed to keep my composure throughout the show, yet as soon as the Colosseum was over I broke out into tears. On my way out, the show, several people came to thank me and to tell me how sorry they were. My response was to ask them why they didnt walk out. One of the individuals who approached me said, I wanted to see what he would say next, it was a car crash. But it wasnt funny. I am so sorry. Herd mentality compounded by a comedian spewing hate is lethal during an administration that empowers islamophobia and misogyny. Ravi the person the comedian targeted said the following: He didnt ask my name or where I am from or what language I speak or what is my religion. He was just looking for someone to make that joke and selected me because I am brown. This is a stereotype...What scares me is what he is speaking could percolate into the minds of the audience and lead to violence. It might reach the minds of people like Adam Purinton in Kansas City. Recently, Purington fired a weapon that killed Srinivas Kuchibhotla and injured Alok Madasani. He did this after screaming a familiar phrase which I heard at this show, get out of my country terrorist. What gives me hope is that for every hateful incident, I know there are 10 people who oppose it and stand up.Ravi is a software engineer that came from India looking for opportunities. He grew up watching Nova and dreamed of being a scientist in the U.S.After the incident I went to speak with the manager.As I spoke to her, she smirked and rolled her eyes.

Someone began recording the conversation.She threatened to call the cops as she said it was illegal for bystanders to record her. She said, delete that now or we will call the cops.

Racist, terrible terrible comedy appalling business model","Before I begin, I've been to LOTS of standup around the world, and I've even performed myself a few times. So I don't use the term 'racist' lightly. More on that later. Also, I have done over 40 tripadvisor reviews and this is my first EVER '1star'. Once you've bought your ticket, the club itself makes you buy a minimum number of drinks/food to stay or they kick you out effectively doubling the ticket price, but just enough to stop you walking away. On top of that, they have people selling tickets on the street lying to you saying 'you get two free drinks with the ticket' or 'insert famous comedian is performing a secret gig to test material' which isn't always out of the question in time square to a naive tourist. While this isn't the club directly, they clearly weren't surprised to hear this when I told them. So from the start the audience has been lied to, doesn't want to be there and is pissed off.When I was there, they were running two shows simultaneously slightly different start times so that they always have something about to start, both with about 15 people in the audience with the 5 or 6 comedians running between the two stages presumably repeating the material. I felt sorry for them to be honest, it's a dreadful venue and some of them were OK I'm being very generous here I've seen worse once or twice. However, the final act who I won't name kept picking on the only black person in the room making comments like 'are you carrying drugs, I know most minorities are' and blaming the audience for not laughing at other comments because they were 'PC' rather than perhaps realising he wasn't funny. I've honestly NEVER seen racist material on stage before I'm 30 and from the UK and I really didn't expect it in NY of all places.I actually asked the guy who was picked on afterwards what he thought turns out he was a professional standup comedian and he thought it was racist too. We bonded in a bar over a few beers and how unbelievably terrible the whole evening and set up was and it was honestly the best part of the evening. AVOID AVOID AVOID.To be balanced, all the ingredients were there for a good comedy club venue they just need good comedians and a ticketing structure that doesn't leave people hating the place.

When we came to the place, we were forced to order two drinks or snacks each cheapest at 6. After that, there was an additional mandatory tip of 19 on the receipt and then a tax for all of that, including the tip.The show itself was very unprofessional and all the speakers were talking about similar topics: mostly poor racist jokes. I felt really sorry for the couple next to us, who were in New York for their honeymoon.

Show times are flexible and you can use the ticket over a wide range of time. We used the 10:15 PM show time and a midnight show time followed after hours.You are ushered upstairs to the fourth floor and eventually admitted to a darkened, smaller room that may hold about 30 people with a variety of tables.Did they tell you there was a minimum two drink limit per person which will add another 40 a couple onto the bill. In fairness, I believe that all the New York Clubs may have that caveat.On to the show. The host comes out and attempts to warm up the crowd with a barrage of racially sensitive verbiage I wont even call it comedy as it is anything but. Behind us sits two young ladies that were obviously there to laugh at anything that was said or not said. The host berated them about their moral low ground and they laughed even harder. This was getting really hard to endure.The first comic was actually not bad and we thought, sans host, this is funny. However, the remaining four comics who do about 710 minutes each; were terrible and I believe, they thought the more F bombs they dropped the funnier they were. The last performer was the worst! As people began to leave in the middle of the act, we left as well. This was painful to sit through. Do yourself a favor and do not subject yourself to this torture. Summary, the cost is cheap and you still do not get your moneys worth. I am no prude and have heard adult comedy tastefully done, this was anything but!

What can I say, was a fantastic night. Firstly I thought I wouldn't get in as I was dressed as Alan from the hangover complete with baby Carlos and was suprised to be welcomed in. Secondly the music was awesome. I stayed in the house/dance bit most of the night although the RB bit eas pretty good too. Didn't like the cheesy pop section but that's just a matter of taste. There were 1 or 2 idiots in the club but you seem to get that in places with a high footfall like this one. Some people just can't handle there drinks I suppose! Which brings me onto the subject of drinks prices. I would have given this a 5 out of 5 if I didn't have to remortgage my house for a round of drinks. That was the only spoiler really but it seems to be the way of things to charge a fortune for drinks in a nightclub. I noticed a few accusations of racism on previous reviews. The group of lads I was with consisted of my Jamaican father in law and 3 Asian friends. None of them had any trouble with the security staff. So overall then, fantastic venue, wicked tunes and an amazing night." +Attraction,Date of experience: May 2016,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,unknown,Don't bother,"So this review is based mainly on the experience I had on my most recent visit to cameo but also on ones from previous experiences. To start, I have always been a fan of cameo Bournemouth because of its four areas and popularity bringing in a diverse group of people, mainly I enjoyed seeing familiar faces. That is about where the benefits of visiting this venue ends. The floors are often sticky, mainly in vinyl, but also in other areas. The drinks are far too over priced and there is a lack of selection, for example there is no beer on tap and if your planning to purchase a 330ml bottle of Budweiser or Becks on a weekend expect to pay around 4.50 this is probably one of the cheapest drinks on offer excluding shots., please note these prices don't apply on a Wednesday where drinks are a good value for money but other factors can still lead to a disappointing night. Staff I mean staff excluding security do a very good job in general and are always positive when serving and happy to help. One factor of the low rating regarding this review is the overcrowding which mainly occurs on a Saturday night where you feel as if you are in a constant cue and if you were unfamiliar to the venue I wouldn't be surprised if it took you 30/45 mins to find the way out. The ultimate factor in which leads me to believe that I will never visit again is the SECURITY.This is where this review begins to get more than just an aesthetic and personal review but it also shows the morals in which this nightclub upholds please note I am a male, a young male just like a third of the clientele this venue receives. Earlier this evening or should I say morning I was previously in Bournemouth on a night out and I decided I would meet some friends in Cameo Bournemouth not thinking there would be any issue with me entering as I have previously been able to enter throughout all stages of the night although, maybe not so late as this instance. I approached the doorman and roughly 4/5 others at 02:05am to be told that I could not enter due to the grounds of the club being now closed for entry, although I found this shocking as the club was not due to close until 4am I wasn't bothered to much of an extent because I could understand that they needed to stop entry at some point. I then called my friend and alerted her that I could not gain entry and I would either go home in a taxi or wait for them to leave, HOWEVER! While I was on the phone I could see a member of the security telling two girls that I had recently been told the venue was now ""closed"" and that they should wait out of sight until I had disappeared. I did not disappear! while the two girls were waiting across the road staring blankly at me waiting for me to leave, I also saw another girl gain entry shortly before the two girls previously mentioned proceeded to cross the road to gain entry for a second time. Cut story short, all three girls gained entry after I had been told it was closed and that I would not be able to gain entry under any circumstances and when I approached members of the security of course they are unable to reason with. This leads me to believe that the club is sexist and just not worth a visit if you care about equality. The club has recently been in the news for being racist, at first I was apprehensive, but after receiving this appalling quality of service today I am now sure that this was a genuine act of discrimination that the company carried out and its a shame to see that the same is still happening to this day. This venue needs to learn that people should all be treated equally no matter who they are because although they think they might know who they're dealing with in terms of customers that have an influence of the reputation of the business, they really have no idea and to treat customers in this way is unacceptable." +Attraction,Date of experience: March 2016,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,unknown,Don't bother unless you're under 20,"Literally full of really young people who just want to not remember anything and start as many fights as they can.

I get a text from her this morning saying that she felt targetted.....because she is mixed race!

As soon as they saw it, they started speaking in spanish and asked me to wait for a while as they need to speak to a person before I enter the club. I was all fine with it, then all of a sudden the bouncers started getting rude to me and started speaking to me in spanish. I still don't know what they were saying, but at the end they said it is not possible. I asked them for the reason and they just ignored me like that. I said to them that I have paid for the pass, tell me the reason why am I not allowed to enter. To my surprise, they did not even tell me the reason and later when I was not willing to go, one of their staff came out and directly said to me that it's better you go to some other club as these guys are being racist. I felt so humiliated. Despite of having shown them every identity and getting my side bag checked at the end they just didn't let me in and the reason being my nationality.

Inside the bouncers were obviously told to push black and asian people away from tables if they weren't sitting there literally pushed away. It was only when I started crying out of pure frustration and anger did they seem to feel ashamed. Please my black and asian people if you do not want to be made to feel like a slave/second class citizen, do not waste your money paying for a taxi to it's far out location just to be turned away at the door and looked down on.

While we were there several people just walked in. When we asked the doorman why they were just walking in, he said that single women were allowed and people who had booked tables. At least 100 people who were not all couples, or single women must have walked in. When we protested we were told that they had a door policy of either reservations or couples entry. This was difficult to understand as we were 2 couples and we were appropriately dressed in elegant casual clothes and had in fact come from two other clubs. The doorman was noncommunicative and almost hostile when we asked him why we were being asked to stand outside and not allowed to enter. We left the place and then spoke with the Manager of the place, Mr yehya , on the phone , who was nice and apologetic but could not explain why we had been refused entry . He informed me that the doorman was a certain Mr Ali but did not know his last name. I would not like to label the place as racist , but their policy seems to be to keep foreigners out.

Tried several different times. They kept telling all the black ppl that it was a private party on the third floor so they couldn't go up. However, they would let all the white ppl go in just fine. Finally, when I couldn't take hearing that line again, I asked the gentleman how he knew that I was not there for the private party. Wait for it. ...... He said because they had a list, but there was no list in his hand. I asked if he could check to see if we were on this ""list"". He called for the manager and the mgr came down to speak to us. When I told the mgr what was said, he admitted that there was no private party or ""list"". He said we were probably denied admission bc of the dress code. I then pointed out that we were ALL dressed very nicely bc we attended a semiformal cocktail party right before coming down to Beale St. After giving us all a look to check out our attire he then told us that we could pay 20 pp to get in.... no problem. FYI: We watched the door for along time and NO WHITE PPL paid anything to go to the 3rd floor. I was sooooooooo embarrassed that this was happening in front of our of town guest that I brought to Beale street to have a good time. Even more embarrassed that the black workers I talked to admitted that they were aware of what was going on and still worked there. I really used to love going to this place. Before the constant blatant racism, I visited this establishment over 20 times. Bottom floor had live music until it turned into a club sometime after midnight. The 2nd floor is the urban floor. Lots of ganster rap and music of that nature. Hardly any whites go to this floor. Once the 2nd floor closes, everyone from that floor goes down to the 1st floor since it's transitioning from a live band to a rb/rap dj at that point. The 3rd floor used to be predominantly white, but had a sprinkle of nonwhites. This floor plays pop mixed in with current and old school jams. The 3rd floor crowd was as diverse as you could get for a memphis club which is why I preferred this floor. I lived in Nashville for 10 years so it was refreshing to see a club with a semimixed crowd in memphis. This floor stays open all night until the entire place closes. If you don't believe they are racist just stand outside the club and watch the entrance to the 3rd floor. White ppl get in no problem... no matter how they are dressed. A black person can get in ""if"" he A. goes in with a BIG group of white pplB. PaysOn the weekends, they even have guys standing outside of the club and at the corner near blues city cafe giving ""Free"" wristbands to get in the club on the 3rd floor. However, they only give these to white ppl and will make up a lie whenever they are approached by black ppl as to why they can't give them one. If you're black and don't believe try it. If you're white and you don't believe me watch a black person try. I'm leaving this bad review after being denied admission over 5 times due to the color of my skin.

This can be perceived as racist by some but In reality it is not, I'm African American, I travel a lot for business and have been to top clubs in Miami, Cali, etc its very similar in short, club 152 Third Floor only is a club in such a manner where your looks and demeanor can go a long way. Now My honest review, DrinksVery Good They have some of the best bartenders in Memphis even when it is very crowded, You Are Served promptly and QuicklyServiceThis goes either way on some nights the place is just over run you may get your drink fast but it may take triple the time to cash out if you have a tab going, the waitress usually take their time getting to you if you have bottle service, and depending on your bartender they MIGHT compensate you with an extra drink here or there, certain bartenders have their style of bar tending I prefer to go to the side bar not the main one next to the dance floor I've always gotten quality service there.DJThis is where this place shines the DJ IS EPIC on the weekends if you like dubstep rap mixes and other pop music if not you wont like the atmosphereAtmosphereTypical club, laser lights , couches , and a mini stage.For A club with no cover that try's to maintain that upscale feel to it its a pretty nice place but It does have its downfalls.NotesI've been to this place with great service, and terrible service, the main thing to watch out for will be how the bartenders treat you, I'll never forget the one time a Bartender through My amex card at me upset because I didn't tip before she even realized I Tipped in cash, this one time event almost ruined the place for me but I gave it another try, Be WARNED some bartenders attitudes are piss poor but the majority are the most humble people and really want your service." +Attraction,Date of experience: September 2017,Europe,Greece,South Aegean,unknown,A racist working as a doorman,"We was 2 couple try to get in tonight, we white from norway got in but one of our norwegian friends from Iraq with a darker skin that has live all his life in Norway had a HM shopping bag cause we went shopping earlier that day.The doorman asked him to look in the bag, that was okey but when he didn't find anything others than clothes in the bag he touch his arms and all over and asked if he had a bomb on him and was very rude in the way he talked and screamed.

They let everyone in front of us inline inside the club for free who happened to be white. When it was our turn they said we had to pay for each of us to get in. The bouncer became very nasty and rude with me because I did not have enough cash for both of us to go in because we expected it to be free. I asked to just pay for myself to go in to use their ATM and come back to the door to get my husband. The doorman yelled that he was not giving me that option, the conversation was over and that we needed to leave. I was shocked because I had not done anything to be treated like crap. I spoke to another guy outside that claimed he was the owner and he yelled that he didn't want to hear what we had to say because he was not letting us in. It was all so surreal. They had no real reason not to let us since we were both dressed appropriately. We ended up missing our friends party due to this bars racially discriminatory practices. I will be filing multiple complaints with the Office of Inspector general, the states attorney general and any other place I can go to. Do not patronize this place. They have a history of discriminating against anyone that is not white. Look up their Yelp reviews for evidence.

As we prebooked a booth and were on the guest list, we repeatedly asked for a reason why not and after repeatedly ignoring us we were eventually told to move on and get out of the way.

At the same time we heard one of the girls on the door talking on her radio saying that a group was coming in and to keep a both free but she was quickly shooshed and told that no, our group was already told by him that we weren't gaining entry and have no chance of getting in. We watched as groups of people who were very drunk and in much worse states than ourselves were allowed entry over us. The clear reason that we were rejected is because he didn't like the look of the people we were with skin colour/slight accent so being disgusted with the treatment we received we then swiftly moved on to the next club down, Lola's, which had absolutely no problem letting us in whatsoever unbiased and non racists, after telling the bouncers in the Lola's of the treatment we received they also agreed that we were grossly mistreated.

My party and I had made a reservation to attend this nightclub and had booked a table.But when we turned up on Saturday evening I was disgusted by what the female attendant on the door said to me. They said to quote ""you people are not welcome here"" I was taken aback by this comment. So for further clarification my cousin asked what do you mean by this She replied ""Your kind"" and as I am black and so was most of my friends. But yet the club are more than happy to play music from the black culture... Do not give this company a single Euro as they are a racist establishment. Who refuse to take money from a black people as apparently it is not good enough for this venue... I hoped to enjoy my stag in Germany and a night out in this venue.

You should not give them any of your money. The bouncers are discriminatory and racist. They were unwilling to let one of our friends in, just because of his race. They put it down to how he was dressed, but he was dressed to the same standard as the other men entering the club. It was clear that this was the reason, as it has happened before to other friends of mine.After attempting to have a reasonable discussion with them, they kicked us out of the line. In an attempt to receive clarification from another member of staff, we were simply disregarded. Understandably, the bouncers are able to decide who is allowed to enter and who isn't. However, this was clearly an issue of race. As a result, I feel it is necessary to point out that the people who work here, who represent the attitudes and values of the establishment, are perpetuating a racist policy. The staff here are prejudiced and evidently attempt to create a specific image for their brand, founded on skewed ideals of how both men and women should look and dress. This is even more preposterous considering this club is perhaps one of the lowest in terms of quality and clientele in Barcelona, therefore its concern for creating a specific image doesn't reflect its position in the Barcelona nightlife scene. I've spent a year living in Barcelona and there are plenty of other establishments that are far better to spend a night. I will never return and I will strongly insist on others to avoid this club.

There are much better fisherman and captains in New York and if you pay 20 bucks more they put you on bigger and better fish. I would not go on this boat again." +Attraction,Date of experience: February 2018,South Pacific,New Zealand,North Island,unknown,"Condescending, shoving, shaming, and racist rhetoric","I took the intercity bus from Auckland to Matamata for the Hobbiton movie set tour, along with three friends. One of my three friends was also going to see the Waitomo glow worm caves, but had previously called the intercity office and was told that we would all be riding on the same bus. While the return trip from Matamata was lovely, our experience en route to Matamata was unacceptable.After arriving to the bus terminal at Sky Tower half an hour before our 8am bus, we were unsure what line we were supposed to wait in. We got in the line for Hobbiton but, because we were unsure, one of my friends went to ask one of intercity's employees if we were in the correct line. She told us that we were while addressing my friend as if she were a small child and not an adult paying customer with a legitimate question.After being condescended to, we waited in the Hobbiton line until we reached the woman working at the counter. I told this woman my name, but she couldn't find me on her list. Eventually she determined that we were in the wrong line and then physically shoved me out of the way of the next customer.Having been physically shoved by one of intercity's employees, we then ran to the other end of the terminal to the other bus. Here my friend continuing on to the glow worm caves was told that she was not on this bus with the rest of my party despite previous assurances that we would all be traveling on the same bus and the previous confusing, rude instructions of other employees. We then were split up and I did not see my one friend for the rest of the day.While on our bus ride to Matamata via Hamilton, we at one point stopped so that one woman could use the bathroom. The driver announced that this would be the one chance to use the bathroom before we arrived at Hamilton, though did not specify how far away we were from Hamilton. As such, roughly half a dozen or so people got off the bus to use the bathroom. After these people returned to the bus, the driver got on the microphone and specifically addressing the women who got off to use the bathroom, and not the men told them that they were rude and inconsiderate for needing to use the bathroom and it was their fault that some passengers might miss their connections and that it was cutting into his break time, and that next time they should use the bathroom before getting on the bus.Beyond this just being incredibly tone deaf and only addressed at the women who got off the bus, and not the men, this was wildly unnecessary. If we were on such a time crunch, the bus driver should have just told the bus that we would be in Hamilton in forty five minutes, instead of implying that we still had a ways to go. Publicly shaming women and not men for getting off the bus to use the bathroom is entirely inappropriate.Meanwhile, my friend on the other bus listened to her bus driver explain how the Maori people were ""barbaric."" This sort of racist rhetoric is entirely unacceptable for reasons I hope are obvious.I would like to reiterate that the return half of our trip was lovely and I have no complains about the way that I was treated on that leg of the trip. But I think it is unacceptable for employees to condescend to paying customers, shove paying customers, shame paying customers for having to use the bathroom and then only shame the women, and then spew racist rhetoric. I expect better from Intercity, and was severely disappointed by the way I was treated. Would not recommend taking the intercity bus out of Auckland Central." +Attraction,Date of experience: June 2017,South Pacific,New Zealand,North Island,unknown,Awful service with racist bus driver,"The vehicle from Christchurch to Kaikuora was the small carried van, unlike the big bus usually seen, I have totally no problem with that. Intercity never put limit on the luggage size that the passenger carry to bus. I was on one year working holiday so I carried reasonable size of luggages one big backpack, one 20 inch box luggage and one 28L backpack. The bus driver requested me to put my 28L backpack at the storage space behind the van as the space inside van is limited, where I said I can put on my thigh as I have expensive laptop and DSLR camera inside. The driver answered impatiently: well, that's your choice ! Later on I put my backpack on the seat just for five minutes and went to the toilet. When I was back to the van, the bus driver told me : you put your bag on the floor or you pay extra charges ! The way he talked was so rude like I had done something shameful. I feel embarrassed by him in front of others passengers. Well, I never said that I will occupy an extra seat for my backpack, as I will just put on my thigh or floor and it definitely won't affect the other passengers. What made me more angry is that the van actually had more than enough spaces where the seat beside me was actually empty ! The bus driver attitude was unacceptable.

It is a very RACIST environment for locals Asians, not by from crowd but the staffs, they treat customers with different colours differently. A very WHITE SUPREMACY place to enjoy your night, you can have your privilege here and enjoy your night as long as you are WHITE.I made a reservation in the afternoon last Friday hoping to book for the sofa table by the edge, but they told me it's only for a crowd of 10 but not 5, which I understood so at the end booked a small table in the middle instead.Arrived at the place around 10pm, took the small table but saw there were only 3 ppl sitting on the sofa table next to our table, Caucasians customers to be exact. Didn't suspect much cause thinking there would be more people joining that table. 11pm another 2 Caucasians customers showed up and joined that table, and 5 of them sit there until 12pm then they left. So basically you don't need to have a crowd of 10 to book that table, you just need to be WHITE.So after they left the table we asked the staffs if we could switch over to that table, of course they told us that it had been reserved. Sure, after half an hour no one showed up and we asked again if we could switch over, and saying that we could sit together with the 3 Chinese mainland customers which we had made friends with that night and it would make us 8 pax for that table, which we thought would be reasonable enough. But no, the staffs told us that we have to open 1 bottle of liquor to be entitled to sit there, and they claimed that it's the rules to sit that table after 12am. Of course we don't think it's worth it as we have spent a lot on drinks since 10pm and so we gave up the idea.But then this is where the racist part really starts. A group of 5 Caucasians who initially sat at the small table like us, approached the staffs and requested to switch over to the sofa table, out of our surprise the staffs allowed them to sit there, and you know what, they only each had a pint of beer with them, so where is the ""purchase 1 bottle of liquor"" rules We were so mad we asked the staff again why they could sit there and we couldn't, they just simply walked off and ignored to serve us until the end. Seriously Like that's so rude and really WTF.The whole night 8 of us had been drinking 3 bottles of wine, half a dozen of shots a few glasses of cocktail which added up to over a RM1k bill, as for those guys at the big sofa table, they only had 2 to 3 pints of beers each, tops. We were very disappointed and pissed on this RACIST RUDE manner from the staffs towards local customers.TL/DR: As long as you are White, you can enjoy the party here. As for locals, Asians and yellow skin You can come here if you want to experience how to be treated differently among other skin colours, unless you have a White dude or White chick with you, then you will be cool." +Attraction,Date of experience: August 2018,United States,New York NY,New York City,unknown,Racist place,"I've tried to enter the place couple of times.

That's reality. The failure is when nightclubs start discriminating based on race. Other reviewers suggest this consistency. I got in fine 3 weeks ago for the first time... But I was with girls. My experience this time was as follows: Two of my friends already went in 2 white guys 10 minutes ago. In the long line in front of me, every single person is expediently and quickly let in. When I get to the front, unfortunately, I wasn't on the magical invitation list. I thought this was an anomaly, as I was let in the first time without a hassle, but I went again the next week and had the same experience. If anyone here is of South Asian / Middle Eastern heritage, have some more pride for yourself and go elsewhere. Even if you can get in with girls or some other way, do you really want to provide such an establishment with your patronage Same goes if you have any friends that are of a similar heritage." +Attraction,Date of experience: December 2015,United States,New York NY,New York City,unknown,Rude and Racist Service,"I love the place because if the great views of NYC, however every time I go there I end up being disappointed with the rude treatment.

It was stating on the Facebook the show would start at 10 pm, so we were there on time but Dimitri started to play at 12:30am, we didn't mind the delay that much as it happens in many night clubs even though the bad treatment we had to face prior to it.When we came in to Le Bain, we went to the bar to purchase 2 Gin Tonics. The barmaid served us the drinks, but both drinks felt like only tonic with a tiny splash of Gin. I kindly asked the barmaid if she could add more Gin since it only tastes as Tonic, however the answer I received was a big NO! Following to that is; ""This is how we serve Gin Tonic here. I am the American you are not! I know how to make a Gin Tonic""I couldn't really get her point, since Gin Tonic is not even an American originated drink and even though it is what is the point of being American or not Totally a racist remark and very disappointing." +Attraction,Date of experience: December 2017,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,unknown,Unbelievably racist,"Our trip to Four Thieves demonstrated how racism still exists in the 21st century! There was a large group of us granted mainly lads however none of us were drunk or acting disorderly. We queued respectfully and there was a mixture of ethnicities having read the reviews we came prepared, but clearly it didnt work. Once we got to the front, we were told that it would not be possible for us to go in, as there were too many boys. Fine, fair enough.BUT as we were leaving the group of 5 Caucasian lads were allowed entry no issue and a party consisting of around 8/9 left the venue no hints for guessing their skin colour.We were left feeling embarrassed and very very angry will not be visiting again.

Oh well guess racism is still live and well. +Attraction,Date of experience: December 2017,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,unknown,Racism lives at The Four Thieves,"Pathetic. We were told explicitly that there were too many of our demographic in the pub already so 3 people of our party had to go elsewhere for 30 minutes before being allowed in and that too at 6.30pm. Our demographic meaning INDIAN people with the oh so scary brown skin. So of course being respectful and may I add, it was early on in the evening and not one person of our party was wildly intoxicated or causing trouble, 3 members of our group proceeded elsewhere and came back after half an hour or so, in the meantime the rest of the group bought drinks and food and waited. Now, on coming back, the bouncer who is white and may I add a disgusting embarrassment to your pub, followed my brother to the toilet and waited for him to come out to only say that he had been watching him and that he had to leave because of his DEMOGRAPHIC, that word again. The question to you is this, is it acceptable that your bouncers think its ok to make someone feel unwanted because of the colour of their skin and say it so explicitly that that was the reason why. It makes me sick and I want to make sure that your pub is recognised for the horrible bigoted bouncer you CHOOSE to have on your door. Finally, ignoring my reviews and posts and blocking my ability to comment on your channels without an explanation goes against Facebook guidelines for pages that allow for public commenting, that which you clearly had this morning until I commented and then you swiftly deleted.

Beware of condescending and racist staff when you go there!After the visit, my boyfriend went into the crowded gift shop while I waited inside the museum building near its cafe. Knowing that I collect postcards, he chose one for me and went to the counter to pay with his credit card. He was refused because they didnt accept card payments for 1. He came back towards me to fetch loose change and I was inside the museum caf and away from the gift shop exit, which was in the opposite direction. To my astonishment, he hadnt even made it to the caf when a giant of a white man ran from behind the counter, across the store behind my Indian boyfriend, who was half his size, yelled down at him and tore the postcard away from his hand accusing him of stealing. He tried to explain that he was fetching the change from me given that this very man had just told him that his credit card was not accepted for payment of 1. Now can anyone explain to me why someone having just paid 24 for his girlfriend and himself to spend one hour among vintage cars would steal a 1 postcard from the gift shop And while going away from the exit on top of thatMy boyfriend remained calm, took the change from me and went back to pay for the wretched postcard. But I was so upset and when we left the gift shop, he told me that he didnt even get an apology or even a halfapology from the bloke.

I had just a single Saturday night in Berlin, having traveled half way around the world, and was looking forward to an unforgettable club experience. What I got was unforgettable, but for all the worst reasons. After standing in line in the sporadic rain for an hour, I finally was at the entrance. The doorman eyed me with ferretlike eyes and told me to wait while allowing to enter the two Germans in front of me with whom I'd been having a great conversation during the wait. After a couple of minutes wait I was informed, with an air that denoted his clear belief that he was god here, that I would not be entering. When I gently asked why, explaining the distance I'd traveled, he simply stated that I won't. As his 3 henchmen in black moved closer, it was clear they were there to enforce the wishes of their furhrer and that compassion had no place here. For a city that publicly claims the value of diversity, I have to wonder if this was an isolated incident or if the true underbelly may be different. As I walked to the taxi stand, I became aware of and was shocked at the utter lack of ethnic or racial diversity in line clearly the message was already out. In talking with the cabbie on the way home, I learned that nonGermans were routinely turned away and that the German youth who might not get in one night wouldn't say anything in hopes of being accepted the next time. This persecution of those who have little voice visitors and those wanting acceptance seemed eerily close to what was occurring here 70 years ago. Rather than a line of lemurs hoping to enter, I would much prefer a procession of protestors demanding diversity and acceptance. Had I stayed quiet about this, I would be condoning this behavior as much as those who failed to oppose the last Reich.

If you're Asian don't expect to get in even if you are in a mixed group. The club exercises white supremacist policy and white people will be let in while you will be shunned away rudely if you ain't white. Good luck. I honestly hope you're treated better than I was when I visited this club. +Attraction,Date of experience: May 2015,Middle East,United Arab Emirates,Emirate of Dubai,unknown,The colour of your skin matters,"12 years in Dubai and never, ever felt treated badly because of to the colour of my skin, until last weekend when I went with my 2 friends to Societe in Dubai Marina.We are 3 Asian looking ladies although I have a European passport thanks to my dad, all happily married with kids, who had just finished a birthday dinner at a nearby 5 star hotel. It was around 1AM when we wanted to go for a jive and we didnt think that we needed to make a booking to go to a place such as Societe for a few hours.How wrong we were!! A number of small groups of ladies, including us, were at the front of the queue and were told, by a bodybuilder type bouncer, we cant go in because our names were not on the guest list and we didnt have a reservation to spend a minimum of AED1500.Other groups, who were all Western looking, after some small talk and flirting with the bouncer were let in. We questioned the bouncer and he said they had a booking although he had no paperwork or anything to go by. The second batch of Western looking girls were also let in. I inquired again as to how can they go in and we can't as none of us have a reservation, the bouncer replied ""I don't want to deal with you, go away"", and so we obliged. As we walked away, another group of Western ladies who had just turned up were also let into the club.It seems that this is not the first time Societe has made people feel subjected to such racist practices. I am writing this letter to make people aware and I do not want other people to ever feel the way my friends and I felt that evening. In a country such as the UAE, a melting pot of nationalities, this should not be the case!Upon reading the reviews on their Facebook page the day after the incident, there were plenty of similar reviews on Societe, but after one of my close friends alerted the manager owner of this club what had happened, the review page was conveniently removed..

We immediately knew its coz of our skin colour; Having been in Dubai for over 7 years it was a shock for us as we have never experienced this kind of racism in a club before. We called the manager who apologised for that. However, after about two hours the same English manager came and asked us to leave the table as it was allegedly reserved by his friends British of course which really annoyed.

I asked the bouncer for the reason why I was denied entry and he just said ""Not possible for you. Please get out of my line.""

But because we were Indians and not white a Bouncer came to us and asked us to get down from the stage... we came outside the stage and we asked the bouncer what did we do wrong... Yes we had a few drinks before this but I was not so drunk as to not realize what is going on... or to be violent.... in between another bouncer came to me and said I need to go outside the club ... I was completely peaceful and said that's fine let me just take my wife with me... He twisted my hand and shoved me into the ground very forcefully as if I was violent.. I asked him what did I do.. I am just asking for my wife to come with me... on this he shoved my head into the ground.... When my wife saw this commotion she dropped her purse and came to me... I lifted my hand up and said yes I am going outside just let my wife grab her purse which contained our passport... when she went to grab her purse I asked the bouncer what is his name as I wanted to file his complaint the next day... He refused to tell me his name and said he will shove me outside.. I told him he is racist and he should tell me his name... On this he again grabbed my hand and pushed me very hard into the sofa wall and twisted my arm to the point of breaking.... Till the end he didn't tell me his name... I understand people can be violent and then bouncer has to use force.. But in this instance I was completely nonviolent.. I even kept my hand up... but seeing that I am brown he just wanted to kill me.. he showed my head into the ground so harshly.. thank god I didn't hit my head against the ground else I would have been dead.. he hit me so hard that I couldn't breathe for next 5 mins... I am a student at MIT.. I am married and have two kids.. I am not someone who will cause any harm.......... But just because I was brown and I had a few drinks the bouncer treated us so badly.....

However, the bouncer outside the door has claimed the last 3 times me and my friends tried to come in that they were only allowing ""regulars""...really I would think me knowing the bartenders and visiting at least 10 or more times throughout the year would make me a ""regular""!!! So I politely ask this ""person"" how does he decide who constitutes as a regular or not and he completely flipped his wig! I ask for the owner/manager and he states he will NEVER want to speak with me, that's why he's there. During the midst of all this, a couple who happen to be Caucasian comes up and he checks their ID and asks a question, she answers and says ""Well, I was here a few weeks ago""...and I guess that was good enough for him because he let her in. He then tells me you can go to the other bars besides this one! FURIOUS is and understatement as to how I am feeling right now!

That's why we get the most powerful shots 5 for 10 or 7 with a mixed drink. We feel like more bang for our buck.

I think this is completely unacceptable. Also, they didnt seem to think it was a big deal at all and didnt even apologize to us. While waiting for our boat, we witnessed how the boat company got in an argument with clients that had damaged their boat. They quickly got into quite a vocal argument and the rental company started taking pictures of the renters, saying that they will post the pictures online for everyone to see etc. etc. We didn't hear what the clients were saying, though. The fight continued and the employee of the company started threatening the clients and used racist language.

It's racist discrimination from the old days of BN. If you are human you get the same price... There is no way you can justify the racist ticket policy no way." +Attraction,Date of experience: May 2017,Asia,Malaysia,Selangor,unknown,"Mixed messages, mixed feelings","I grew up in Malaysia and I love the country and its people. But, like any nation, it has its faults and there are some areas in which the country does not have a good record. Racism is one and maintaining standards is another. Both of these issues are in evidence at Zoo Negara.The race card is played at the ticket counter, where I was charged a 30 premium on my entry price because I was not Malaysian and then obliged to walk around the zoo with a label that read 'Foreigner.' I understand the nationalistic pride that wishes to put Malaysians first all countries do this in one way or another. But charging different prices to visitors to the country and then labelling them as aliens does not send out a good message. And, as someone who feels Malaysian and who loves the country as I do, I was offended and embarrassed by these quite unnecessary actions.The zoo itself is a mixture of healthylooking animals in wellpresented, roomy enclosures and others which are distressingly caged with inadequate room and inappropriate meeting of their needs. I visited Zoo Negara many years ago and it was one of the first to use paddock enclosures to display its animals rather than cages. It was an excellent start which held much promise. But, as so often happens in Malaysia, this was not built on and the zoo is probably worse now than it was 30 years ago. On the plus side, there is an excellent paddock presenting African animals such as giraffe, zebra and ostrich together in a single enclosure with a watchtower for better viewing. I found this innovative and thoughtful. And the new panda house is also an excellent presentation. On the down side, the Asian shortclawed otters, beautiful, playful creatures that are a delight to watch swimming and playing together, were in a cage with a tiny pool of still water which was clearly not big enough to swim in and looked frankly stagnant. Needless to say, the little animals were not in the water, but were literally climbing the walls at the back of their cage. Finally, for all its size, there are not actually many animals here and a significant number of those that are there are doubled or even tripled up in enclosures around the zoo. So there are three tapir enclosures, for example. Lovely to see these animals, but there are so many different uses to which these enclosures could be put to display a wider variety. There are almost no monkeys, this is a country where such creatures are plentiful, but often go unseen. And those that are there are in small cages with thick meshing which makes them difficult to see. Even the ape enclosures, which are nice enough, contained only one chimpanzee and one orang utan, which was a shame.So, all in all, having been offended and humiliated upon entry, I enjoyed some beautiful tigers, wellpresented pandas and African plain animals and had a pleasant stroll through some welllandscaped scenery. But I was ultimately disappointed by the lack of variety, the repetition of some animals and the poor care that others were receiving. As is so often the case in Malaysia, here lies true potential for a world class attraction which fails to deliver because they are unable to sustain a good start and build on it. And I was obliged to pay a 30 premium for the privilege. It would be very easy to put these issues right, but I fear there is not the will to do so." +Attraction,Date of experience: April 2016,Asia,Malaysia,Selangor,unknown,"Rather disappointing, except for the pandas","Was seriously disappointed by this zoo, especially compared to the Singapore Zoo. Some enclosures were completely empty, and the animals that were there looked depressed and their enclosures were often lacking in terms of cleanliness and space. The bird aviary was absolutely pathetic it was designed as a walkin aviary where you can walk among the birds themselves, but there were only two birds in there, a pigeon which clearly looked lost, and some fat blue bird there were no placards anywhere so we didn't know what we were looking at that was flying back and forth in a pathetic attempt to escape. The walkways are poorly designed, so you're often doubling back to see animals which sometimes aren't there!, and there is very little shade/shelter to be found, which is a serious problem in Malaysian heat. Also, the entire zoo appears to be in construction right now, so visitors to the zoo have to weave between piles of rubble and even a forklift at one point !. What was most shocking was the total lack of respect for some of the animals, which were having to live in cramped enclosures and right next to loud construction. Also seriously shocked by the price! My friend and I are expats living in Malaysia, so when the ticket seller saw our white skins, she instantly tried to charge us RM165, which is extremely extortionate for a Malaysian park, especially of this quality. As soon as we pulled out our MyKads, the price dropped by half, which feels both racist and just generally unfair!The best part of this zoo was definitely the panda enclosure, where some money has clearly gone into making a large, airy space where it is very easy to get a good view of the pandas. If you're into pandas, come for them, especially while the cub is still small and cute, but otherwise don't waste your time. If you're a tourist in Malaysia looking for a nice wildlife park, I would recommend the bird park instead." +Attraction,Date of experience: January 2019,South America,Argentina,Patagonia,unknown,"Friendly guides, less than friendly drivers","The minitrek was good. You get an hour at the visitor decks and then are transported to a different part of the glacier, by bus and then boat, to do the trekking. The guides were friendly, funny, very nice. The tours are in English and Spanish our guide spoke perfectly fluent English. The trek was informative. There was whiskey at the end of the trek and water for nondrinkers that I sort of wish wasn't a thing because, as a nondrinker, I don't like subsidizing other people's alcohol costs. Overall, if you have done the Franz Josef glacier trek in New Zealand, I think that one is run better from booking through hiking, but this was still good and I'm still happy we did it. Wear waterproof clothing and hiking boots if you have them; sneakers may be a bit chilly and wet but should be fine too.When you are booking, you have to email. You do not get to choose a time of day; they basically start filling in each day at 8am so if you are the first to email you are at 8am and if you are later to email you get 11am. We were on the 11am and did not feel any disadvantage. In fact, this gave us time to prepare lunch before leaving the hotel.One star off for the pick up drama. Our friends were staying at a different hotel than us. We got on the little bus and did not see them. After getting to the big bus, we still did not see them. The bus was parked so I got off the bus to ask the driver if they knew to pick up our friends and before I could even finish my sentence, he started yelling at me in rapid Spanish to get back on the bus and continued yelling through my attempts to speak until I turned around and got back on the bus. In another 10 minutes, our friends arrived in a separate small bus. They explained to me, as they speak Spanish, that they had asked if we had gotten picked up as well, and the reply had been, ""the Oriental one"" Hey Hielo y Avenutra... for a customeroriented company, you may want to teach your employees to 1 not yell at customers asking legitimate questions and 2 not refer to them by outdated, racist terms." +Attraction,Date of experience: December 2018,South America,Argentina,Patagonia,unknown,Racist guide from another group spoiled the tour ending,"First of all, let me say that the tour itself was great. We were able to easily book our minitrek without any issue over email, and our two tour guides, Facundo and Marcelo, were awesome. Five stars to them for being such great guides. However, what happened after the minitrek really upset my significant other and me, and I was annoyed that it put a bad taste in our mouths after an otherwise enjoyable trip. An older tour guide with Hielo y Adventura, who was leading a group before us, was incredibly racist to us and some other Asian people on our tour. After the tour, were waiting for the ferry to take us back to the buses. We were standing in line when the ferry for his group arrived. Instead of telling us nicely that we should wait for the next ferry, he yelled at us and began talking to us for about a minute in gibberish meant to sound like Chinese or Japanese, in front of the other tourists. His attempt to put on a show at the cost of our comfort was severely racist and misguided. That a grown man can behave this way to his own customers is incredibly mindboggling, and sadly, reveals an utter lack of respect for people who happen to look Asian I am Chinese American. I really hope he manages to get himself some racial sensitivity training and stop behaving this way to his patrons. Here is a photo of the racist guide. Hielo y Adventura, if you are reading this review, I sincerely hope you will accost him about his behavior, and ask him to improve." +Attraction,Date of experience: April 2013,South America,Argentina,Patagonia,unknown,"Rude, racist and unfriendly guide almost spoilt my day in Perito Morino","I booked the mini ice trekking from the company itself in El Calafate. The staff was still ok.Then on the tour day, itself everything went smoothly with all the staffs were polite and friendly to you. Then until we were introduced to our English speaking guide, there where the whole experience became really sucks. He has no smile and look very serious n stern. Going to the glacier itself, he walked off and chitchatting with 2 tourists in front and left the rest of us behind. When we unknowingly strayed to some parts to take pics nearer to the glacier, he called us back without any smile almost angrylooking.... I mean ""hello....first of all u didnt tell us if that was off limits...n secondly u could at least tell us nicely to come back but not like a school teacher scolding a student. I find him to be racist as when he was putting on crampons for others he seems friendly but when it came to my turn he just look serious n just chitchat in spanish with other guide n when the size doesn't fit my shoe, he just look at my foot and said ""Get off"" ....i dont realise he was talking to me n get off what I only realise he was refering to my leg after he look at me and said ""Get off"" again but at a higher tone. God, i was really taken off by suprise as i never was being treated like that before.... These were some of the rude things i encountered, and there were more i swear n all the way i just cannot wait for the whole things to be over as my safety seems to be at their hand. However luckily for me, the other guide is nice and helpful, cheering me up all the way. After the whole thing finished, we were brought to the viewing area where we only have about 1 hr to view the glacier, and i rather just sit and get fascinated by the glacier for hours, watching n listening crevices fall and save my cash rather than spending it on the overpriced tour with the rudest guide ever. This rude guy seems to be forced to work the same things over n over again for 12 long years which might explains his bitter attitude that he brought from his bitter life.All i can say to Hielo Aventura that, if nothing done here, one really bad egg can spoilt the rest of the teams effort in trying to make a good image for Hielo Aventura...So to all of you who thinking of going for their tour, u can risk spoiling your dream holiday of patagonia with the rude bad egg, or you can opt out the tour which is all about trekking on the glacier which you can do in el chaten instead as advice from the others. Yes, please still visit beautiful perito morino n get fascinated by it merely just by watching from the view area fors hrs. The bus ride is only 80pesos if im not wrong.

Then we drove 30minutes, had lunch, drove back again and went to the rental office excited for the JetSki ride! The guy Marty was super rude, very condescending and unfortunately pretty racist, he was not trying to help at all.

I have been going to this bar since it opened as The Ballroom about five years ago and its still my fave venue in Canterbury, hands down! They put on a range of great nights with different offers and music to suit different tastes and the crowd are really friendly, as are the staff. Reading the comments by Marilyn M I am shocked at the way she has reacted to having her bag searched as this is standard practice and just the staff doing their job properly, I certainly don't think it was anything to do with race!The fact that the owner tracked her down in another bar is frankly amazing customer service and speaks volumes about the bars ethos. I am sure the door staff were mortified to be accused of racial profiling which is not an accusation that should be used so flippantly.Apologies for the rant but this really is a great bar with amazing staff my friends and I love it and wouldn't change a thing....keep up the amazing work Ballroom!" +Attraction,Date of experience: January 2016,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,unknown,Racist Door Staff,"Hugely disappointed in this bar in Canterbury, as I felt I had been racially profiled I am black. The staff at the door let my friend through with her big bag she was white, but subsequently proceeded to search two of my bags. As an afterthought to not make it look too obvious, the same member of staff searched her bag, after suddenly noticing it. After feeling slightly uneasy about this, I then questioned the bouncerwho advised that their policy is to search every other bag which was inconsistent as why had he searched my friends bag as he had already searched mine. In addition, me and my friend whom I was with, were tailing behind four of our other friends and none of their bags were searched, therefore making their search every other bag policy a load of old tosh. We were meant to be going to The Bramley but accidentally went into the queue of The ballroom as they are so close together so I cant comment on the bar itself, only the inconsistent door policy. When the owner of the Ballroom found me in the Bramley, and offered me an apology about how, the bouncer was feeling really bad about the whole thing, and how he isnt at all racist and then proceeded to guilt trip me I felt he was trying to make me feel bad for making a fuss, and had absolutely no consideration of how this had affected my night in any way, shape or form whatsoever. All the protestations with words about how not racist the bar or any of the staff were, and how bad the bouncer felt , and how he was questioning himselfmaybe he should without taking any consideration of how this unpleasant incident had affected my evening. As we all know, people can claim to not be racist with their words, but at the end of the day its actions that matter. I felt this whole thing had been handled really badly and the owners response was really telling I told him despite anything he said, this incident was going to be on tripadvisor he then said thanks in a petulant way, then walked off.

The entry part was extremely traumatic. Although we were on their guest list but I thought the ushers and bouncers were a bit racist. They kept looking for a reason to deny us entry. But as we were appropriately dressed so they had to let us in.Club itself is huge and the experience was amazing. The resident DJ was playing that night and he was very good.

While queuing one of us put our empty drink down but the bouncer, having seen us told us to pick it up and put it in the bin, which we did without hesitation and no fuss at all. When finally arriving at the door, they asked us where we were from in an aggressive tone, and being half French myself I tried to reason with them in French saying that I didnt see what difference that would make. As soon as I said we were British they cut us off and refused to let us in, accusing us of being disrespectful to our own country. I was confused, apologised for disrespecting them and asked for a more reasonable explanation. The bouncers made a huge scene and not only embarrassed us but disrespected our entire country. Perhaps they did have a good reason for turning us down but the way they handled it, humiliated us and refused to give us any reasonable explanation apart from the fact that we were British, is, to me, unacceptable and shouldn't be put up with considering how expensive it is. On our way home, we bumped into other friends who were also turned down on the basis of looking like Algerian c I've been here before and it is a fantastic club but if this is how the staff treat their customers they either need to be fired or reportedeither way Gotha need to sort themselves out." +Attraction,Date of experience: July 2016,Asia,Japan,Hokkaido,"San Diego, California",Racist people,Don't bother visiting if you're not Asian.

I also saw Carrot Top and Vinnie Favarito while on this trip. George's show is not even 25 as entertaining as those guys. He spends much of the show sitting on a rolling office chair, which makes him seem old and lazy. The showroom was only about 33 full, and it was easy to see why. I was sitting in the front row, and forced myself to keep a smile on my face because we kept making eye contact. He seemed to be mumbling into the mic for much of the show. There also seemed to be some ""reverse"" discrimination when he was giving out prizes at the end of the show. I was going to keep that to myself, but it was so obvious. I thought is was just me, but then I herd other people talking about it, so many people felt the same way. I am not suing the man is a racist, I am only commenting on my perception.

An event I could share to back this statement was when my friend left to go outside the club to catch a taxi back to our hostel.

But nothing had prepared me for the outright racial discrimination that was waiting for me in the nondescript little town of Vinnytsia. Hoping to have a fun weekend with friends out on a road trip, we decided to hit the clubs at Vinnytsia last Saturday night on the 21st of March. 2015. There my friends who belongs to Netherlands, Belgium and Ukraine were allowed entry but I wasn't under the flimsy pretext that I was a foreigner. We tried to reason with the bigoted bouncer that 3/4th of the people in the company are foreigner but according to him, I am a ""different"" kind of foreigner. Well since nothing was left unspoken in the brief altercation between me and the biased guard before my friends got involved we decided that perhaps sharing this experience with other fellow travellers would be a good idea. Clubbing culture in Vinnytsia as we found out can be termed as rudimentary at its very best with racism served as a side dish : So in case you happen to denounce racism in your everyday life, probably denouncing and boycotting this club would be a good idea to share your solidarity with the other so called ""different"" foreigner who probably faces their share of discrimination everyday at this destination. I don't even live in Vinnytsia, so I can't even imagine what my other fellow ""different"" foreigners might feel living there on a daily basis ! My heart goes out to them. There are definitely great clubs in Ukraine to visit especially in Kiev, but Amagama is definitely not one of them." +Attraction,Date of experience: March 2015,Europe,Ukraine,Vinnytsia Oblast,unknown,Outright racist bouncer,"I visited this club last night with a ukrainian belgian and indian friend and was shocked by the outright racism the bouncer displayed. He refused to let in my indian friend apparently because they didn't let in foreigners. However just a minute before they let in me and my belgian friend in after a thorough check of our passports. So it was only too obvious their definition of foreigner was someone of a different skin color. Then they told my indian friend that it was for his own protection because there might be people inside who will beat him up because he is a foreigner. Whether this was really the case or not, both of the scenario's are pretty bad so I would boycot this club unless you want to associate yourself with a bunch of racists." +Attraction,Date of experience: May 2015,Middle East,United Arab Emirates,Emirate of Dubai,unknown,No1 Racist nightclub in Dubai who Discriminates towards race and gender Armani,"I attended the Armani on Saturday 2nd May as I heard its the best place were I could spend 10,000 on a night out.I approached the venue and there was a Phillipono man called ""Will"" at the door, I told him I was a guest for one of the camera guys and helping him out and I'm going to spend 10,000 on a table.He looked at me like I was from a different planet and shouted at my friend, saying ""Your lot of people are not welcome"", Me and my friend found this very racist and intimidating.He said that the policy was couple and females, I looked on the entry card but there was no mention of that.Then another lady called ""Christine"" came on the entry box, I tried to explain to to her who were and how much we want to spend...again she said people like you are not welcome.It seemed the Armani staff had a vendetta towards foreign people especially from UK with Asian appearance.While I was standing there, I saw single guys, group of guys just walk in because there were ""Arab and White"" in appearance.This is the worst nightclub I've seen in Dubai with so much Discrimination and Racism towards overseas customers who want to spend money." +Attraction,Date of experience: August 2014,Middle East,United Arab Emirates,Emirate of Dubai,unknown,Most Terrible Experience in Dubai,"Here is our story; we saw an event held at this club in the Time Out magazine in our hotel room.

We taught because Sean is an RB singer people can dress casually. While we arrived at the club people were in a long queue and a man was picking some girls from the line, probably was choosing them for club decorations! There was a very rude and racist lady who wanted to permit my partner enter the club without me and she was really impolite and disrespectful. She first told us that people only with tickets could enter the club which was completely against what they had used in their ad! And then in a horrible way looking from down to top, said that I have to change based on the dress code something which was not included in the ad either. We could totally understand the lack of enough information and we could change immediately Our hotel was near the club, But her tone was really annoying and a freaking huge bodyguard was next to her and made us angry.

On Feb 15, I called the club to enquire about the process of booking a table, the lady I spoke said, i would have to pay 3000dhs for a table or just come and stand by the bar. I thought 3000dhs was a bit much and decided just to show up at the club and drink champagne from the bar. After a limo city tour of Dubai that evening, we were dropped off at the club. The door staff were very RUDE and scrutinized us from a distance and said we could not go in as it was full. If we insisted on going in we needed to pay 5000dhs just to discourage us. I tried to explain that I called earlier, and was told its 3000dhs, they seemed uninterested with what I was saying. I called their call center again and low and behold the lady still said it was 3k for a table and not 5k.

She was telling everyone that Chinese people all have slender eyes. What a racist remark! She was gesturing the eyes, and she said ""we don't care if you're Korean or Japanese, we call you Chinese, because your eyes are like that"".I can't believe she works in the tourism industry! She calls herself as a tour guide Save your racist remarkst to yourself, NOT to travelers from around the world! Havana Colonial was the tour we booked with a Sunwing reprepsentative at our hotel. It was pretty bad. Save your money for a selfguided tour where you actually stop at places. First half of the day was spent on the road and picking up everyone from their hotels, which took 2.5 hours. Then we arrived at a dingy looking restaurant in Havana for some uncooked chicken and rice. The restaurant was dirty and old looking. The rest of the day we rushed from place to place and only stopped at Old Havana for a 45 mins free time and some walking tour. We really didn't get to stop or see much. The tour guide made the whole trip worse. Delia or so I think her real name is talked nonstop for 2.5 hours since our pick up. She kinda had an attitude, and shared her pet peeves of what tourists complain the most. I disagreed with a lot of things she said, and didn't give a chance to respond. We got so sick of hearing her talk about politics and feminism, while all we needed to hear was the tour sites and a bit of their history. I felt trapped in the tour. She finally stopped talking on our way back. She was also very rude, and argued with us for some minor things. Didn't have respect or sensitivity for seniors or had an understanding of traveling with seniors. By the end she said that she deserved tips, and had to be more than 1 CUC basically outwardly asking for tips. That kind of made it awkward for us. Sugar, Rum, and Cigar tour was alright. The tour guide was friendly and very laidback, and very helpful. His name is Alexander. The tour itself was kind of dry, where you visit the countryside and watch someone cut a sugar cane, then ride a steam train in the middle of nowhere, with nothing to see, except some shoeless children chasing the train for money. It was hard to watch. I think they try very hard to share what they have to offer though, so it's a real Cuban experience nonetheless." +Attraction,Date of experience: April 2018,Caribbean,Cuba,Matanzas Province,unknown,Havana One Day Tour.

There was a squatter camp a few hundred yards from my ""upscale"" apartment. It seems like almost everyone in South Africa has a propensity to be dishonest and exaggerate how ""great"" South Africa is, and how their facilities are up to western standards. They aren't. The above I could have handled if the racism wasn't thrown in the mix. I wouldn't recommend going there for travel or studying. I have a 3.6 GPA in the sciences from a top rated university outside of South Africa and deciding to study abroad in SA was one of the worst mistakes of my life. They think all black people are stupid and they will treat you that way. The professors I worked with were racist and incompetent. One of them even went out of his way to try to destroy my reputation with my references after I started standing up for myself. Insults were the norm.

So the three of us, including my firend's 93 year old father who walks with a cane, did that. Once we were seated inside the restaurant though we saw lots of people entering it from inside the mall. And when we were leaving, our server told us we could walk through the mall to the exit facing the hotels where the security guard had prevented us from entering. It took us a while but we eventually figured out what had happened. The guard had looked at us wearing shorts nice shorts and it is a tropical climate after all! and at our skin colour two of the three of us are brown and decided we were too poor and too dark to be allowed in. It was quite shocking to realize that we had been profiled in this way shocking too because we have visited the mall many times before without incident. My assumption is that the mall management trains the guards to do exactly this sort of screening.

I couldn't belive it... this never happened to us and we traveled a lot through Italy. Also, after I saw how crazy the traffic in Italy is, we felt relieved.

Near the end of the evening, around 10pm I'd say, 2 staff members from Bartini were cleaning up in front of their own bar and were complaining that people had left glasses on top of their green wheely bin hint: don't leave it in the middle of the street then. As I went to put my glass on top of the bin, the young Malay guy told me in a not particularly friendly tone to take the glass and put it inside the other bar because it's from them, to which I replied ""that's not my job, I'm a customer"". The guy then snatched the glass from me and threw it into the bin, then turned around and said ""this isn't your country either, it's my country"". This threw me off for a minute as I was frankly flabbergasted that someone would say this, especially in a place like club street that relies on foreigners for it's business.I wasn't going to let it rest their so I asked the guy numerous times, are you a racist, do you hate foreigners, to which he admitted that yes, he does hate foreigners. He said those words. After this, I told him he was stupid and where did he think his bar would be if there were no foreigners around There was no coherent reply to this and the female Malay staff member then decided she would also get involved making insults and telling me I was stupid and crazy. They then made a tactical retreat inside the bar and we didn't see them again for the rest of the evening before we left, I think the manager possibly spotted what was going on and told them to go inside but I can't say with any certainty.So that's it, I've never drunk in this bar and I certainly never will now. It's up to you to decide if you want to give your business to a place that insults potential customers and is racist to boot.

We decided to visit Gullivers to enjoy some cocktails and to play some pool. When we arrived in the pool area it was empty apart from two groups of men playing. The area was maintained by some female staff who monitored the pool tables. It was clear that they were irritated by the presence of a group of females playing pool.They were very pushy when we were ordering cocktails, took their time bringing our change and were also pushy when waiting for us to pay them for the pool table. We had about 4 games between us when we before told that we had to finish up because other people wanted to play. Meanwhile around us the group of men who were there before us continued playing undisturbed. Whilst we were playing we felt rushed to finish, the staff started clearing our table making it very clear they wanted us to hurry up and move. After my friend potted the black ball we decided we would quickly pot the few remaining balls. However the woman monitoring the pool tables came over and kicked us off. Meanwhile the groups of men around us carried on playing undisturbed. It seems that this is a bar which is heavily targeted at men. There are lots of beer, pool tables and women looking to pick up a male customer. Male customers are left undisturbed where as women are pushed about to make room for them.We were hoping to spend the night drinking cocktails and playing pool but instead we found ourselves in a place that was unwelcoming, rude and sexist.

I, as a white man in his 60s, could not believe how he treated some of his passengers, particularly nonwhite/minority ones. He abruptly chastised in a rude and browbeating manner several wellmannered East Indian adults in their 40s/60s talking amongst themselves in their native language, telling them twice in a threatening manner as though they were children to be quiet. Those passengers surprisingly responded graciously. They were apparently talking too loud for Bellows' liking even though he was at the helm 10 feet away with his microphone, but had no problem with white passengers sitting farther away and talking amongst themselves at the same volume level given the ambient noise. In embarrassment, several of the above noted persons later moved farther away from Bellows; the apparent family patriarch moved to the bow of the boat.Likewise, Bellows later chastised another minority woman in her 50s, quietly standing for 30 seconds on the bridge taking photos, 5 or 6 feet from where Bellows was originally standing, before he approached and ordered her to stop taking photos, and then abruptly grabbed her cellphone from her hands. He gave it back after the protests of several other passengers who did not know each other.The Big Bear Lake Marina owner Steve indicated they are not affiliated with the Queen tour other than ticketing, but apologized for Bellows' behavior and offered discounts to those involved for any of the Marinaowned watercrafts. I don't know if Chris Bellows is RACIST or just has ANGER MANAGEMENT issues, but a caveat to anyone who takes a ride on his boat, particularly if you are nonwhite.

So it was very quiet which is not surprising given how terrible the other reviews are for this club.We were a group from London, with mixed ethnicity including south asians, caucasians and people of chinese origin. 3 south asians in our group were kicked out of the club. Initially the reason given was that we hadn't paid for our drinks which wasn't true and which we offered to pay for again. However after a bit of protest the bouncer admitted that he had kicked us put because we were 'coloured people'.I would highly recommend you avoid this club at all costs.

A group of friends and I stopped by this past Friday for drinks and were kicked out 30 minutes later due to what they called a ""mistake"" but we know to be straight up racism. My entire group was forced out of the bar with no explanation or courtesy, we barely had time to grab our coats. Once outside we demanded an answer from the bouncer and were told that we had a large tab that was paid without a tip. Now there were over ten of us and we had all ordered at least 20 drinks between us and some food, not one of us had run up a tab as large as they claimed 100 and none of us neglected to leave a tip on our purchases. After many minutes of conversation, the bouncer finally told us that they had made a mistake and offered to let us back in. Apparently, it was some other group that had left the poor tip. My group refused to return and while we stood outside on the curb, we did not witness any other individual or group of patrons removed from the bar. The ""mistake"" explanation was thrown at us once we started accusing them of racism given that our group was mainly minority women that didn't fit in with the largely white crowd that night. If they truly did catch their mistake then another group should have been removed from the bar but that was not the case which goes to show that their explanation was really just a lie. One of my friends had not been given a chance to even close her tab so we headed back in to do so. We asked the bartender about what had happened with our group and all she did was laugh and shake her head at us. No apologies were offered, not from the bartender nor the bouncers at the door. This was my first and last time at this bar. Horrible service, terrible music that was played way too loud and bad drink choices.

After two people drank their drink as a shot we weren't given any explanation as to how the drink should be ""tasted"" as you would expect in a tasting experience, one of the two people behind the counter, a bald guy with glasses started going off about how they were not ""barbarians"" there, their liquor was craft and the establishment rejected serving to customers who did shots. We smiled thinking he was joking, and he said he ""was not laughing"" and asked us to leave immediately, which we did after paying, in shock. An old woman behind the counter kept giving us bad looks as we explained what was going on to the rest of our party. Again, they never said anything as to how they expect the customers to drink while they were serving us. Actually, they barely talked to us from the get go.

Bar staff were efficient considering how busy it was. You can't complain about a big club being overcrowded It just means it's a good place to be.

You are given a card upon entering and you get it stamped at the bar each time you get a drink.

I have strong reason to believe this hotel practices racial profiling." +Hotel,Date of stay: January 2012,United States,Minnesota MN,Manhattan Beach,Twin Cities,Racial ignorance!!!,"My boyfriend surprised me with a trip to Manhattan Beach Lodge for our twoyear anniversary. I was thrilled and couldnt wait for a winter wonderland weekend. Sadly Mother Nature didnt play into the fun seeing as there has been no snow here in Minnesota all through December and into January, but the trip was already booked, so we headed up there this past weekend. What a thoughtprovoking experience, the lodge claimed that we would have a fireplace king suite except for the fact that the fireplace didnt work! The rooms temperature was horrible! We could never get the room at a comfortable level because the gauge to the thermostat was also broken. In addition we were on the lower level which is fine if it hadnt been right directly in front of the stairs so throughout the stay we could hear people coming and going. Also, there werent that many guests present so how ironic that we happened to get a family directly placed above us. The insulation needs to be updated because every time someone walked around upstairs it was very disturbing because you felt like they were going to fall through and that made it difficult to rest peacefully. Likewise, we were quite astonished with the service at the restaurant attached to the lodge. We had been given a voucher for dinner during checkin and decided to use it that following night. The service was ok, we enjoyed the food and tipped our waitress at 30 mind you but once she collected her earnings we were useless to her. She never returned to our table to check up see if we needed anything else additionally or even gave us a thank you for our generous tip. Regardless, because the food was so wonderful we thought we would try eating there the next night. Wrong idea! Once we arrived we were disregarded almost immediately by Doreen Gallawaythe head of the wait staff. She tried to make a scene but we read her energy as soon as we stepped in the door and by that I tell you, she made it quite clear blacks were unwelcome. That woman needs a lesson in racial competence, she was extremely rude and clearly based on our interaction with her, has serious issues with cultural acceptance; Looking down on us because we were a biracial couple as well of the fact that Im a woman of color. She also tried embarrassing us in front of everyone by making a scene because we had a preference of where we wanted to sit for dinner and started berating her waitress right in front of usunprofessional, quite unnecessary and classless is how I would some up her personality. Funny some people are still so ignorant, Doreen Gallaway is an illustration of someone who sees color vividly and anyone with differences should be looked down upon and less than because they arent white. For that reason alone I would give this lodge a poor rating because if they are willing to staff individuals who have serious identity issues and discriminate their guests based on their racial or cultural backgrounds, I think that shows the integrity of this establishment. Needless to say, we will not be visiting that location again and if youre expecting a romantic getaway and youre a person of color, or in a biracial relationship, be prepared to be mistreated and disregarded by lowgrade, uneducated, country bumpkins who havent realized that its 2012 and times have changed." +Hotel,Date of stay: February 2019,United States,Florida FL,Miami Beach,"Fullerton, California",UNPROFESSIONAL and RACIST HOTEL,"The worst hotel and overall experience!

At mid night around 12.30 pm we got hungry and went to the Front desk, at check in we were assured that front is 24 hours operational, since there was no internal phone connection working out of order, we were forced to walk towards the front and to our surprise there was no one at the desk, when we look around we found a staff member a thin tall guy in dark blue uniformed sleeping in a couch.

I arrived at the Nomad hotel around 2.30 PM yesterday and was told by the receptionist that check in was at 4 PM and that no rooms were available yet. I walked to a seat to wait, letting the Caucasian couple behind me have their turn at the counter. The couple had also just arrived from the airport with all their bags. I expected them to be told to wait as I had been, but instead, I watched as they were checked in and given a key by the same receptionist. I was stunned. I went up to the receptionist and asked why the couple had been given a room immediately if check in was at 4 PM and there were no rooms available just minutes ago. She coldly said that they requested for an early check in during booking. Did they really I told her to check my booking again because I had also requested the same during booking. She had no response. Racists usually dont. For the record, Im an Asian female who was traveling solo. I speak English fluently, have clean hair, and was traveling light. I had just gotten off 20 hours of travel so it wasnt a pleasant ordeal to have to fight for equal treatment at your hotel. Racism is exhausting. Five minutes after I confronted your receptionist, she magically came up with an available room. No apologies. Later on in my room, I looked up your website and discovered something more appalling. Your hotel check in time is at 2 PM. Not 4 PM. Another person on your staff confirmed it for me too. The discrimination was obvious. I wont go into how this incident made me feel, but Im sure your goal as a hotel isnt to make guests feel unwelcome and secondrate. While I hesitate to blame an entire hotel for the action of one employee, there was at least one other employee who was aware of what was happening and heard as I was told that check in was at 4 PM. Racism never makes sense, but its unbelievable that anyone would think a paying Asian guest isnt good enough for equal treatment at a nofrills, airport hotel. So for the benefit of anyone considering your property, I would appreciate a response here explaining your policies and procedures if any against discrimination and intolerance. I stayed at the Nomad hotel out of necessity for transit, but even for necessity, I do not recommend it unless your policies clearly protect against discrimination by anyone yes, including customers at your properties." +Hotel,Date of stay: February 2019,United States,Michigan MI,Kalamazoo County,unknown,Racial Profiling,"We checked in this afternoon at Best Western Plus Kalamazoo Suites in Kalamazoo, MI and experienced racial profiling.

He proceeded to require her to sign a no party waiver before he would allow her to complete the check process. He told her that was standard practice. She complied with signing it and completed the check in process. Once I parked the car and came in I needed to stop at the desk. While I was waiting I witnessed 2 white men check into 2 different rooms and he never asked either of them how many people nor did he require them to sign a waiver. He only asked each of them how many keys they needed. Later theis evening while talking with some others that traveled with us we made a disturbing discovery.

My 15year old niece commented on it being a current day ""Get Out,"" with AfricanAmerican staff in housekeeping, bartending, and bell positions, and white staff serving in concierge, checkin, shop and officiant roles.

I am an Asian American and I was the only Asian I could see that day staying at this hotel. I noticed instantly that the staff treat the German speakers way more friendly than me. Not only with a bad attitude, they put me in a single tiny room despite I clearly booked a double room with a double bed via Expedia. I called Expedia twice and they confirmed that I did book a room with a double bed but the staff and manager insisted that I had booked a single room. It took me more than an hour communicating to them and Expedia back and forth and finally they reluctantly agreed to put me in a double room, which I had originally reserved. The manager seemed surprised hearing me speak to Expedia on the phone in perfect English and that I live in America, and it was clear to me that was the reason why they changed their mind. So, for non German speakers, especially Asians, please do take the racial profiling and discrimination into consideration if you are considering this hotel. I will NEVER stay here again. Location wise, this hotel is very far way from the two center where all the restaurants and places of interest are located. It was very inconvenient. The so called black forest view is a joke. The view was not good at all. Very average and not worth of being so far away from the town center. There are plenty of good hotel choices in the town center.

THE WORST HOTEL IN THE WORLD,"Hello,I am glad that I have had an opportunity to give a feedback. I only wish that the owner/senior management of the hotel reads this. We checkedin on the 04th Oct for 5 nights till 09th Oct 2016 and stayed in room number 410.I and my wife are doctors, surgeon and a physician respectively, originating from India, settled in Canada. We are widely traveled, to over 97 countries with several dozen bookings from Booking.com. I want to state that I went through the worst humiliation and racial abuse at this hotel. The matter was brought to the notice of Mrs Dilek, Manager, personally, who promised of action but was repeated again and again for the next two days. When we checked in I had the worst of experiences. The receptionist was unwelcoming, outright rude, making fun of our origin, asking if we were Muslims and then mocking at the negative reply...... After checkingin we asked if tea can be given. The receptionist while we were at the lobby answered that there is no tea and this is not a tea shop like you have in India. Trying not to make a scene we avoided contact with the reception. However he once shouted at my wife, ""Oh Lady come here"". We avoided all contact and insinuation.On the 06th night, can be verified from the calls to the reception, I requested if the wifi can be made ok, as the wifi in Room 410 is pretty weak and would turn off by itself. The receptionist shouted...""So what can I do .... Tell anyone else...whole city like this."" I believe the hotel has a recording of all conversations. Please do check this. All incidents till this point were personally informed to the manager, Mrs Dilek. She noted the details on a paper, but no action was taken, as the abuse persisted.Before checkout I had sent a mail for checkout at 1.00 pm. This had been personally approved by the manager. However when I told the receptionist at 10.30 am that I would leave the room by 1.00 pm, he was so rude, saying that there is no manager here, today is Sunday and only he is the boss and made fun of me, making faces, mocking me. I felt like reporting him to the police for his behavior. He said what do you think of yourself I also traveled to USA, Europe...don't think much of yourself and so very much more. ""Make sure that you are here at the reception before 1.00 pm or else...We are doctors, done fairly well for ourselves, financially very well off. One does not expect that from a receptionist.

Duty Manager, Mr. Farruh Nabiev demonstrated a racial profiling when I brought Master Card ATM was being out of service last 5 days to his attention while he was at helm in the lobby. He stated that Its not even available for our guest. He assumed that I wasnt a guest because of my national origin. In my opinion, anyone who visits your property either to stay, dine or use any paid services should be considered as a guest. He was very rude and unprofessional. This hotel considered to be a five star but his service was below one star. I was simply bringing the issue to his attention so it will get fixed but he didnt care, not only that but he was so rude during the entire conversation. He didnt even apologize for the inconvenience and didnt even offer an assistance to find an ATM nearby. Ive stayed many upscale hotels where Duty Managers were at helm to greet and engage with guests to ensure that guests are well looked after. Sadly he was measurably failing to look after his guests and being extraordinarily Duty Manager. It was also sad, no one seemed care about the first impression, as walking in to the hotel main entrance, Ive noticed cigarette butts all over. There were 3 door men but none of them were greeting or offering an assistance instead they were just standing and chatting. Since I was very disappointed with his lack of customer service and respect, Ive asked a contact number for the hotel General Manager but Mr. Nabiev refused to provide.

I had a similar poor experience at that locale just a few short months prior so I was very suspicious. I told him that since this has occurred before I am being to notice a trend and that I question whether he is catering for only a specific clientele. He did not disagree. He simply said ""oh don't say that"" while smiling. He even suggested I try one of the other establishments close by! The message I got was I don't serve your kind here. I am not in a habit of believing that I am being treated differently due to race but I feel fairly confident that this is what occurred on this occasion.Sad to be treated in this way by a foreigner in my own country.I want to share the information so that it will not occur to others.

Yesterday04/10/2018 was our last night in Switzerland, staying at Eden Palace au lac hotel, the best position beside lake Geneva and we have already paid the fee in advance. There are two staffs at the reception table, one male and one female with white short hair. She asked for our booking information and told us we have to go to another Hotel named Hotel du Grand Lac Excelsior, which location was quite different from the original one. We asked the reason and she said the whole rooms on the third floor were flooded with water and they were not able to offer any rooms.Since we have ordered the room month ago and we did not receive any email or phone calls in advance. We required to see the problem of the room on the third floor, they refused with no patience and said the hotel manager could come to solve this. At this point, the woman's attitude became very bad, and she started to communicate with the man in French. She even throw things on the reception desk deliberately!When we were waiting for the manager, a British man was warmly welcomed and successfully checked in to the room on the forth floor.Then the reception told us that the hotel manager was busy and will not come to see us. We feel very sad because we received no RESPECT at all.The reception desk of their hotel has a key counter, anyone who leaves the hotel should keep the key at the reception. Then we asked the male staff why the keys of the third floor were only six on the shelf The rooms need fix and so do the keys His faced turned red immediately and he could not even say one word! Then he explained that there were only six rooms unavailable on the third floor! He was telling lies!The female worker is very impatient to say that she did nothing wrong, so did we. And the ""decision"" was not made by her, she could not change the result and we have no options. I guess it was a very interesting decisionWe finally asked three questions.1. We booked the hotel a few months in advance, and you didn't inform us in advance, even not inform us during the day, could you explain it2. At the beginning, you said there was a problem with the whole floor, and then it became only six rooms. You lied to your customers3. British people can check in even later than us, Chinese can't Do you discriminateThe man can't answer any of my questions, his face was totally red. And the woman was already exasperated to leave the reception desk.I had a look on the third floor and took some pictures. Everything was in good condition. From the outside of the hotel, I could see three rooms on the third floor with lights on. After more than an hour, we knew that the results would not change, and we decided to change hotel because we have four elder people in our family. But the rights issue has not ended and all the evidence have been preserved.

I am utterly appalled and think it is disgraceful to treat people this way. I will never stay here again. If you believe in treating people from different countries and cultures equally, avoid this place. If you don't care about that and are of Indian origin or at least look like you are, it's not bad and you shouldn't experience any discrimination. I just don't feel good supporting a hotel that believes discriminating is acceptable. I was even told management supports this kind of behavior. The 6th floor of the hotel stinks horrifically in the halls. It will make you feel sick to your stomach just walking to your room. The decor and electrical are horribly outdated.

When we asked whether there was more than one person to check people in, the Hilton employee said in a haughty voice, ""So, you are not with the same company"" The only person checking in was an Asian man, and I am Asian, so was ignored. I was not there on business. Why would I be with the Asian man and his company When he realized, I was a diamond member, the clerk apologized for his error but not his racial attitude The next morning, when approaching the hostess for breakfast, the hostess completely ignored me and addressed the tall man behind me to seat him. He was embarassed and told the hostess that I was in line in front of him which was obvious and that I was also hungry. As an attorney with a large Swedish government practice, I have never been treated this way by Swedes. Also, when checking out, I told the clerk dark haired woman about my experience and she told me I was not tellling the truth. She said, ""No. I don't think so."" However, the male clerk who checked me in was standing a few feet away. I told her to ask her colleague to verify since she was calling me a liar.

It was scary. We were furthest from them and heard everything. Unfortunate that they would talk badly about the staff addressing them, and what a shame that their four year old kids, were subjected to their own drunken behavior. Kudos to the staff to address it.

The treatment of the black staff was uncomfortable, especially the way they were spoken to in front of guests, and we noticed this within our first 10 minutes of being here. The rooms were large, though none had air conditioning we stayed in two different rooms on either end of our stay in Joburg and it was extremely hot in both rooms, and the last one had a timer on the lights where they would strobe starting at 3am and there was no way to get them to stop.

Besides that, most of the service members did not smile nor show enthusiasm in serving us, but were kind and polite to guests from Western countries. For instance, one of the service staff that helped us get on the boat blocked some of our family members from getting on the boat first and let the other Westerners go on board first. They only relented unwillingly when we told them we are a family and should board the boat together.Third but not last, the living standards are not worth the price we paid. We requested an extra bed for one of the rooms in the Beach Villa, which I slept in, but the bed spring was damaged. The two nights were absolutely horrible for me, and I did not sleep well at all. Besides that, the waiters at the restaurant were terrible as well. A glass of water might as well take eternity to come as some of the waiters pretended not to see us or waited until our section's waiter came to serve us.There are still a lot of problems with the management at this resort that are not stated here. The manager at the resort definitely has issues with management and should be removed or at least sent for management classes.

I accompanied her and because I was also smoking marijuana some time before, the manager accused me of not only be smoking but selling drugs on his hostels. He went as far as saying that he had images of the cameras showing me doing it, at the time that I was sleeping with my girlfriend at the private room. Now, he is claiming in booking that I didn't show at the hostel so he doesn't have a bad review at booking.

The checkin line was very long, waited for 3040 minutes. The room was awesome, we paid for 2 queens with a street view on the 20th floor. The buffet brunch was kinda expensive, so we ended up going to McDonalds, that is right across the street, where an ARIA buffet meal for one covered 5 meals :. The casino and bar are clean, nice, a bit crowded. The bar server was very nice and the service was fast. : They have Starbucks on the second floor, and a few coffee places downstairs.To our surprise, when we were checking out, we were charged almost 50 for some refreshments that we never had. But took a phone call to resolve the issue gonna check my credit card in a few days just to be sure they took the charges off. So make sure you are not charged for anything extra. I provided my @ address to check out, so they sent me an @ in the morning with the bill to review. So far, the experience is great! Looking forward to stop here again sometimes in the future.The only concern throughout the whole trip: looks like Las Vegas is turning into Beijing. 75 of all people there are Chinese!! My family is multiracial and we have no racial issues with anyone, but we were surprised to see so many Chinese faces around.

THIS NEEDS TO BE SAID.The pool staff in the 'quiet' pool were rude, aggressive and showed little to no compassion telling an English child under the age of 15 that the pool was prohibited, how do i know this, two of my children were subjected to this treatment, one of whom you may see later making their own review. When confronted and the evidence of racial bias regarding treatment of French guests vs English guests, was met with frantic words in french on a walkie talkie which sent an assistant manager poolside to tell me 'that they treat all guests fairly and equally regardless of race' standard 'you can't sue us' rhetoric. As this was at the end of the day and the pool was due to close I decided, let it go, move on and have a better day........boy was I wrongThe following day wasn't so bad, food was as grim as the day before with fancy named dishes that the eye translated as 'slop trough', the Tagine was as dry as a camels back side as was the chicken, one bonus, fresh oysters, I took a chance and didn't get ill they were actually very nice and fresh.The day after was where all hell came loose, following a relatively pleasant day, eating the same slop, how does a country like Marakesh who have bountiful quantities of spices and herbs in the market fail to send any of them to the Aqua Mirage, catering team I spent my time in the 'quiet' pool enjoying conversations with my fellow guests, 6pm rolled around and out of the pool we all go, following the lifeguard chaining up the perimeter.As I'm collecting my gear to take back I hear a massive splash and behold two young French girls having a lovely old time in the pool while their mother filmed them, so I figured hey, why not colleect a little evidence myself, then realising how creepy it would look filming young girls, i decided not to hit the record button but to display that I if this was a British family they would have been kicked out without a moment's hesitation.As the mother saw what I was 'doing' she approached me very aggressively and took my phone, which I struggled off of her rescuing my phone, however, saw her fall on her back side, her daughters screamed for security who also came a' runnin' and it was here that the French were given the opportunity to defend themselves and in the red corner, myself with no recourse to a defense. Fortunately some of the English guests who I was conversing with came to my assistance to make up numbers and defend the position of my situation.Following that evening's meal I was then approached by the 'hotel manager' and asked to come with him and a security guard. I was lead into an office and I was asked to give my account of what happened which I did, they then also brought up the incident with the lifeguard the following day and said that 'we are evicting you for your inappropriate and aggressive behaviour' I stated to him that he was displaying 'racial bias' by allowing this to happen without due process and ignoring that the French guest had their part to play in all of this too. Unfortunately for me, the hotel manager got very upset and shouted in my face 'ARE YOU CALLING ME RACIST, I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO INSULTED' I again stated my position of racial bias, trying hard to explain to him what this was versus overt racism, but I may have just as well been trying to show a labrador a card trick, never the less he continued screaming about his no racist bone in his body bla bla bla......Nevertheless I was evicted from the hotel at 10pm on 19th July 2018 from the Aqua mirage, where I decided to leave the country despite having another 7 days left that had been paid for, my wife and children also decided to follow me home, much to my chagrin and 555 to my credit card, but one thing we know to be.......WE AINT GOING BACK TO AQUA MIRAGEIf there is anything you should take from this review......never go back to the same place twice and there is a strong racial bias from the staff at the aqua mirage, which is different from overt racism" +Hotel,Date of stay: February 2019,South Pacific,Australia,Victoria,"Seoul, South Korea",Suspecting racial discrimination.,"I am writing on behalf of my mother.

The positive ends there, however.We arrived fairly late in the evening, and the night staff was neither efficient nor friendly. For a long time they couldn't find our reservation, then sent us to a room only to call us back to the desk saying no, that room was occupied, and they would have to give us another. Before ultimately deciding that it was indeed unoccupied and sending us back to the same room. But the bigger issues were:1 we had specifically bid on a fourstar hotel. This property as clearly explained by posters on the wall behind their reception desk apparently has both 3star and 4star rooms available. Even after I showed them the receipt for the 4star reservation, they without apology assigned us a 3star room2 that room was quite cramped and poorly designed, and generally did not represent what most people would consider even a threestar experience3 upon arrival, I was asked if I wanted a double bed or two twins and I indicated that I definitely preferred a double bed. Without explanation or apology we were instead given a room with two awkwardly arranged separated, arranged in an L arrangement twin beds. I had the impression that this may have been related to disapproval toward us for some reason. Just because we had booked the room at a ""good"" price Because we are a samesex couple Because we are an interracial coupleThe property was definitely disappointing, but I suppose poor, not ""terrible"". And the service from the ladies at the front desk the next morning was fine, actually. But the service from the night staff definitely warrants a ""Terrible"" rating for this property. I would recommend you avoid it, and definitely avoid bidding with Priceline for a 4star hotel in this area, until they drop this property as one of their providers." +Hotel,Date of stay: December 2018,Caribbean,Puerto Rico,Rio Grande,unknown,Total lack of respect,"Today as I was driving to check in to the Rio mar resort and also go into the convention I was stopped by a parking attendant who wouldn't let me park my vehicle in the garage he told me I had to park at the convention parking. When I explained to him that I was going to the convention and staying in the hotel he let me pass but was negatively hesitant speaking under his breath. After parking I went in the hotel to the convention after a while I decided to leave the property to and come back later. As I was approaching the parking ticket stand the same attendant that I was dealing with earlier started yelling at me and accusing me of lying to him. I tried my best to explain to him I would check in later , I was in my vehicle and proceeded to leave and he continued to yell at me so I stopped my vehicle and got out i told the gentelman he is not allowed to speak to me like that, We went on for about 3minutes all the time he was yelling at me i was embarrassed and humiliated I asked to speak to his manager. To my amazement the only thing the manager could do was defend his actions and explain to me that today has been a hectic day and that people have been caught smoking pot and that the same attendant was almost hit by a car non of which have to do with me. For the manager to explain to me why his employee was irate with me is unprofessional.

We have been staying here for over 3 nights and whilst walking back into the hotel lifts , I was stopped by a Philippine staff standing by the lift area asking for my room number and name. The people entering in front of me were not even though they looked like they have just walked off the beach into the hotels in their slops. On catching him out on this behaviour , his excuses range from 1. If it is a guy and girl together, we need to ask room number 2. If they are going to restaurants we don't ask for room numbers 3. We need to ask room numbers from everyone. Pray tell me how did he decipher that the people with slops and suitcases were going to their restaurant We than proceeded to the reception to complaint about this blatant profiling and a middle eastern guy at the reception told us that the lift guy should ideally be asking everyone but he is human after all so he can miss a few people. What a pathetic excuse for a hotel. I think my husband who is white was more offended than I was when the reception guy kept on saying "" please don't be offended, he is only human "". He completely did not understand our issue. In my 100 trips to Dubai , I have never once been profiled like this minion at this hotel did and than tried to show us attitude like he is the bees knees. I would strongly suggest you stay away from this hotel if you are a person of colour or in a mixed race relationship.

My trip to the Riu Palace included my fiance, and I. Check In The process was quick. Thanks to Avion for checking us in.Room 639 This room was very spacious. I was not please with the view. Upon, looking directly out of the window not much of a sight, and it was a view of another hotel. You must step out on the balcony, and look to the right you could see a view of the beach. The room up keep was okay.Restaurants Guests had to make dinner reservations for one of the restaurants included with the all inclusive package between 8am11am. We arrived at the hotel Friday afternoon approximately at 3:30pm. That evening our first group predinner reservations was not found in their system. We had to scramble to find a place to eat Don Pablo. Saturday morning approximately 8am as instucted to make dinner reservations. All restaurants were booked. Thank Goodness for Don Pablo and Natulis buffets this weekend. The Riu can do better with their restaurants accommodations for paying guests. These restaurants had two sitting for 6:30pm or 9pm for all their guests, and there was no way to accommodate their guests. We were very disappointed we was limited to where we could have dinner. Thank you Don Pablo for your breakfast, and dinner.Room services and house keeping was decent. Show/Disco The Saturday night show was nice. The disco was fun once it opened up at 11pm. They played a mixture of music for everyone to enjoy. I danced all night.Beach Attendants In my opinion I have travel to several all inclusive resorts, some attendants are not eager to assist or help black guests. I was on the beach and I needed some assistances with one of the beach chairs to be set up. I asked two attendants to help, they began to conversed back and forth in spanish who would help me. We had a few more racial undertone experiences.We had a few other undertoned racial experiences such as who they preferred in selected areas as well as events. However, the other 80 of servers were very welcoming.Renova Spa My massage was just okay for me. It was very cold in the room. The oil was not warm at all. They lady was nice, but did not apply any deep tissue techniques. In DR their spa time was excellent. I fell a sleep, and felt wonderful. My fiance enjoyed his massage. The spa appearances was nice, and clean. Bring your own towels if you get in to the hot tub. Hotel Appearances Visiting my coworker in room 702 the view is beautiful. The lobby is very beautiful.Shopping We left the hotel for a 5 minutes walk to a little shopping area to buys gifts for our sons. It was very reasonable, and a lot of beautiful jewelry ladies to select from. Casino My fiance enjoyed the casino.Near Hotels Some other hotels along the beach were very nice to visit, and to interact with guests from around the world. Some other beach activites were very fun with a small charge. Airport Bus arrived on time to escort our group to the airport. Customs was no problems just follow their instructions. However, due to a problem with Southwest Airlines we were stuck in the airport from approximately 5 hours until the problem was fix. Which was fine. I rather we were all safe then sorry. Southwest did issued us a 100 voucher towards our next trip. We arrived home this morning safely.I rate the RIU Palace of three stars. The most important part is knowing how to have fun, and we made the best of the trip by enjoying each other company. However, I have no desire to visit this hotel again.

They did not approach his 3 white friends. I sent a note to corporate expressing my concerns and asked that they train their employees, mistaking this Hyatt with the Hyatt Rosemont located down the street. I immediately heard from the Hyatt Rosemont manager who apologized for the situation, but we quickly realized that the incident actually happened at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare. The Rosemont manager forwarded our communication to the manager of the Hyatt Regency O'Hare. I never received any communication from the O'Hare manager, which leads me to believe that it is not a situation that he is taking seriously. This is a huge concern. I am an event planner/producer, and I will not bring my business to the Hyatt Regency O'Hare. Racial profiling is an extreme violation that needs to be addressed promptly. I do hope they figure out this issue and are able to train their employees to value all guests." +Hotel,Date of stay: April 2012,United States,Florida FL,Clearwater,"New York City, New York",Does Not Feel Safe,"My wife and I were looking for a one night stay after arriving at Tampa Airport before moving on. We had stayed there many years ago when it was the AMERICAN INN. This was some years ago and although the Hotel has changed from the American Inn firstly To the Ramada Limited and now the Rodeway. As seasoned travellers we thought this would be a good bet. In the days of the American Inn it was family friendly and couple friendly however now as the Rodeway Inn it was anything but.We checked in and the guy on the reception was fairly friendly but his guidance to finding the elevator was not at all helpful. In fact we could not find it and we were a little jet lagged and ended up hauling our suitcases up the steps at the rear of the hotel.I decided to move the vehicle from the rear of the hotel because a group of youths had gathered, I moved it to the side of the hotel where we could be closer to it. These youths along with some older people had been shouting racial comments at each other. I went down to get some snacks out of the machine but there was hardly anything in the machine. One good thing came out of my journey for snacks was that I found the elevator which really was around a sharp corner and we had driven right past it upon our haste to get to our room, but again the receptions directions in the first instance were not that accurate.We then proceeded to check the beds for bed bugs and I am happy to report that there were no bed bugs to be found.We decided to settle down and watch some TV. the TV was at least 20 years old and was of the same type when we visited this hotel in the bygone times of the American Inn. The TV signal was not very good at all and the wifi signal kept dropping out. The decor was very old and the room grubby. The carpet was not clean at all and my wife said they needed to improve the overall hygiene.We were awakened around eleven pm by bad language from the guests on the same floor as ourselves and they were congregating just a few feet outside our window. It looked as if some of them could have been construction workers from the nearby road improvements being conducted nearby. The shouting continued for a while. Then during the night at 3 am there was a row from next door and loud Spanish voices cold be heard, it was obvious that a couple were having some problems. Again people congregated outside. We eventually got to sleep but not before I had barricaded the front door AND this is from someone who travels a lot.Thankfully daylight came and we waited for the nearby guests to leave before venturing down to the free breakfast. I have to say which was not too bad at all.I can tell you there are better hotels in this area and my advice to you is to check in with them. You do not feel safe at this hotel and there does not appear to be any security with regard to this hotel in anyway that would make guests feel protected.Avoid this hotel but if you have to stay here don't take your wife's or kids" +Hotel,Date of stay: December 2010,United States,Florida FL,Clearwater,Virginia,DISGUSTING,First of all the guy at the front desk is rude and not helpful at all.

There is so much that could be done to spruce this place up. Little things like touch up paint, someone to vacuum air conditioner vents, and even a little furniture polish and dusting are things that are just expected. Apparently, this hotels idea of clean rooms is to change the sheets on the bed and remove items from the refrigerator. I was afraid that they hadn't touched the bathroom. With Greenville, MS's water already being brown it was hard to tell if the toilet was even clean!! This I turned back my covers and a racial obscenity was written on the box spring...it read ""Greenville, MSNrs So Sad!!"" Not to mention the boxspring had Marriott on it...I guess they go to other hotels and savage whatever it is that they throw away. That racial slur was unacceptable and that box spring should have been removed!!!!! I will never stay here again and regardless of the budget you have, you should not choose this place. The location is not worth it!" +Hotel,Date of stay: September 2014,United States,Michigan MI,Ludington,gsw2006,"Very Rude Host Nice Home, Still Horrible Experience","My husband and I frequent bed and breakfasts, so when friends invited us to Ludington, we decided to try the Cartier Mansion. There are exactly ZERO bed and breakfasts we've ever given a negative review about. Could we have rated Cartier's Mansion a zero, we would have.During a telephone conversation prior to arrival, I got a bad feeling about the host, Sue Ann, because as a courtesy, I mentioned to her, ""We are coming from Indiana and we'll be arriving late, so should we just call that evening to let you know"" She reiterated exactly what I'd just said, but in a strangely directive tone that came across as, ""I sure hope you don't put us out!"" She tried to say it gently, but it came across as crass. Heevyjeevies already.We, indeed, arrived late that Friday night 11:30. I dreaded calling to let her know because conversations with her elicited stress. It's like a bad feeling you can't put your hands on, but you feel it. Profoundly. Her speech seems edgy... as though she's giving it everything she can to be warm and pleasant, but it's not natural. Nor is it possible, it seems.Her spouse Gary, however, seemed entirely different. He was pleasant. Warm. Seemed sincerely hospitable. My husband and I enjoyed our talks with him. Gary welcomed us upon arrival. He reviewed the policies and showed us to our room, the Lighthouse Room.The home itself is nice, if you enjoy old homes that are somber. What the heck was I thinking when I selected it This much was indeed my fault. I knew it was historic. Nonetheless, I enjoyed learning about the history behind the home, as Gary was kind enough to give us a tour one morning. But I was quite unimpressed with the smell of the old home, the creaking doors and floors, and the depressing ambiance. Just a personal taste... I'm sure antique lovers would love it..Far worse than the visual lack of appeal for me was the thick, uncomfortable atmosphere. There seems to be a heavy, dark negative energy permeating the home, in spite of the faint, melodic spiritual tunes that emanated from the music room.My introduction to Sue Ann was the ""icing on the rotten cake,"" so to speak.Our first morning there, I was tired from the drive and we were meeting friends elsewhere for lunch, so I called Sue Ann in a very timely manner and notified her that I wouldn't be going down to breakfast. After getting dressed a couple of hours later, my hubby and I were leaving to meet friends. I told him, ""I'm going to go and introduce myself to Sue Ann and thank her for the accommodations."" He and I thought that would be kind and thoughtful. So my husband joined me.I heard voices behind the kitchen door, where Sue Ann was, so to be polite, I knocked. She came to the door and bounced out. Smiling, I said, ""Good morning! I just wanted to introduce myself before we left."" Sue Ann's response With a seemingly fake smile from ear to ear, ""WELL, WHO LET YOU IN DID YOU GET A CODE FROM SOMEONE"" Being the only African American female in the home my husband is Caucasian, I assumed she didn't realize she had an African American guest, as she hadn't yet met me. I said, ""I'm Sharen. We're renting the Lighthouse Room.""She said, ""Ohhhhhh!... and said some other words... but honestly I didn't hear one word she said after that. The grand smile she wore seemed as distasteful as her unusually crass and utterly boorish greeting.I was floored. Nothing was worse than that depressing, creaky home except Sue Ann. She seems to have no business in the hospitality industry, as far as I can tell... if a BB host is expected to be, in any way hospitable. And yes, I believe they are.All in all, I don't take much offense to racial matters. I'm not moved by racial arguments or claims. I tend to be a cheerful, happygolucky person with a very warm temperament, and I embrace the world with open arms. And everyone in it. So, I'm not broken up by the experience, nor do I necessarily see it as a racial slur. I'm not really sure what it was, except rude beyond belief. Sue Ann read my comments in her guest book and called to apologize. She admitted, ""You're right. It is exactly word for word what I said. I was curt. I will give you that. I was curt. I'll apologize for that. But it had nothing to do with your being African American. Let me tell you.""I accepted her... apology I guess you could call it that. But I honestly don't care about the reason she was curt. I just don't think I or my husband deserved it. We paid 288.00 for a 2 night stay in a mediocre room with uncomfortable accommodations and a very rude host. Even the homes policies are written in a crude, unrefined manner. At the bottom of a list of directive policies which SCREAM, ""Be grateful you're staying here!!"" vs. ""We're happy you've come"", the entire pet policy simply says, ""Your pet will have to find other accommodations."" In Sue Ann's guest book, I suggested they phrase this in a more gentle manner. A simple, ""No pets, please"" would typically suffice.Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone... not even one's pet. There's far too much stress involved with a stay at Cartier's. Sue Ann's overwhelming presence, illmannered temperament and negative energy weighs too heavily in setting the tone for a guest's entire experience. Every other BB we've ever stayed at felt like a peaceful haven we retreated to in the midst of our explorations. BBs when done well tend to fade into the background of a vacation, lending support, amenities, peace and comfort to passersthrough. This one doesn't. It's dominating. Costly. And really, not worth the trouble.Hubby and I typically hate to see our BB stays come to an end, but we actually celebrated our departure from this dark little heavy place.

The hotel management should invest in sensitivity training for Vincent at the Front Desk.From the moment I walked in, Vincent, who was at the front desk, refused to acknowledge my existence and would not speak to me with the respect and courtesy that ALL human beings deserve. Vincent did not greet me with the customary: ""Welcome to the Chelsea Inn."" Instead, he refused to look me in the eye, his responses were terse, rude and abrupt. When I approached the front desk, Vincent was beyond rude, in fact his behavior was repugnant. He refused to make eye contact with me at any give moment; he merely mumbled that I would be in room 90, which was downstairs. He did not offer to find anyone to assist me with my suitcase down the narrow and steep staircase to the BASEMENT. Fernando, one of the hotel workers was kind enough to assist me when he saw me struggling with my bags; and for that I am very grateful to him. The room, which was located next to a loud and noisy staff room or club, was smaller than my bedroom at home. It was also dark and dank. It seemed that no effort was made to make the room appear welcoming, never mind beautiful. The towels I received were soiled, ripped and frayed, there was no washcloth, and the floor was dirty. I honestly think this room is used as a staff sleeping room between shifts. It was small, dirty, and noisy. After stepping out for a quick bite with one of my friends, I returned to the Inn with the notion of requesting a room change. When I approached Vincent a second time, he remained true to form and refused to look me in the eye, which is what common courtesy and the Hospitality Industry require. I approached him with kindness and the courtesy which he refused to give me, and asked if we could talk for a moment. He said yes, but continued to play with his computer. I asked him if I could change rooms because I am a light sleeper and my room is next to a very loud staff room or club. Vincent, without missing a beat and without removing his eyes from his everimportant computer screen said: ""Your room was assigned before you came."" I then replied: ""That is not what I asked. I want to know if there are any empty rooms because I cannot stay in this room because it is too noisy."" Vincent made no effort to make my stay comfortable in the dark, dank and dirty basement room. He only insisted that my room was assigned before they arrived and saw that I am an African American woman. The most interesting fact about our conversation is that I never once asked if the rooms were assigned before arrival, but Vincent's guilty conscience spoke for itself when he continued to reiterate that feeble point. I checked in at 5:30 p.m.,and checked out at midnight. I did not care one iota about ""losing my money."" There are more important things than money in this current climate of racial discrimination and intolerance, such as treating human beings with kindness, courtesy, compassion and respect.

First of all, one of the receptionists with a short ponytail didnt qsk her name since I was furious second day before we left on finding out that actually she spoke Chinese well who led us to our room pretended she only spoke Japanese and somewhat English. So she could avoiding talking to us in the beginning no greeting at all as well which gave us almost no info about their hotel, room or even the type of their hot springs I flied 20hrs solely for this. Secondly, before making the reservation of private hot spring shortly after we arrived before the dinner I ASKED her if this is private hot spring is for free in English and she told me yes. However, got charged for 2000yen second day when we checked out. For us, I understand the rule and respect the rules of your hotel but she shouldn't lie to us about the extra charge. This was ended up a scam. Third, after she realized that we have possibly found out that she does speak Chinese. She passed by us she confronted us with a face but without a single word as we left the hotel. Last, they gave us ONE small bath onsen which only suited for 1 person althought they charged us for 2 persons. A friend of mine told me that they could offer us onsen with 2 baths instead. This was horrifically racial profiling.... The only good memory of this hotel is the lady who served us at dinner and breakfast. Informative and friendly. Food was okay. Room was not match to the description when I am booked." +Hotel,Date of stay: February 2018,Asia,India,Rajasthan,unknown,Average,"The reservation inquiry stage was good. The confirmation of payment was done days later after a followup.Check in was smooth.Room allotted had a electrical problem in the bathroom for hot water. This was resolved after I called up.The next day I needed water to take meds but apparently their stock of water would arrive much later and they didn't have a single bottle of mineral water.While checking out too the process was slow and tedious, despite doing a 50 advance payment , I had to remind them about the same while settling the bill.The breakfast buffet was the only positive with a decent spread of fruits, south and North Indian food optionsWhat I found disgusting was the racial discrimination towards Indian tourists which is very apparent not just here but in many places. There's an AC bus for foreign tourists and when I asked the reception staff about the bus, the way he said it's for foreigners and Indians shouldn't use it ; gave me the first hand experience of racial discrimination.Sadly in our own country people treat fellow countrymen so badly.The location of the hotel is close to the clock tower area, about 15 min walk.Not happy with my stay here." +Hotel,Date of stay: November 2018,United States,Ohio OH,Columbus,"phoenix, United States",TERRIBLE customer service and DIRTY room,"I have never experienced such rude and racial behavior. I've stayed here several times but Rebecca at the front desk accused my teenage daughter of being a known prostitute. Then she called the police and told them we refused to leave she never asked us to leave. She also said my husband threatened her in front of the police! He never did anything to her. Even the officers said it was a racial thing. We booked for 4 people for one week and left the second day. It was Thanksgiving week and also my daughters birthday. Now we were left 2000 miles from home with no available hotel options. I called corporate and almost 2 weeks later, I'm still waiting for a response. Luckily Ryan at Hilton in Dublin hooked us up with a 2 bedroom suite for cheaper than the Hawthorne. I will NEVER use racist Hawthorn EVER!

On arrival, we offered the credit card and the ID but one of the employees insisted that we first bring the letter from Wyndham's Welcome center otherwise we can't check in. After some discussion, this individual singlehandedly decided that we will not be allowed to stay at the hotel. At our request, she called the offsite manager who defended her employee's decision and threatened us that if we did not leave, they will call the police. I wish I had let them take the next step but we were too terrified. What is it if not racial bias because we look different being from another country and culture. When I contacted Wyndham, they did not want to do anything about the misconduct and they cited that they do not own, operate, manage, control or occupy this facility. The Manager, of course, refused to do anything either even no apologies for what happened and how we felt threatened, discriminated, and nowhere to go at that moment. Nobody wants to answer the question that if a customer has an advance reservation, shared a credit card to pay for the room, and has a valid ID, how and why s/he can be denied a room in the hotel. The manager of the facility or the corporate has no answer. That is why it appears to be a case of racial bias in 2018. I wish I could offer compliments on the facility and food but the management never let us have that opportunity. Sad but true and so I decided to share with fellow travelers." +Hotel,Date of stay: August 2015,Europe,Greece,Ionian Islands,"Chigwell, United Kingdom",Mrs,"Great relaxing place to stay. We wanted somewhere quiet and we got what we wanted,Kyprianos and family were very helpful, friendly. Nothing was to much trouble for them .It was very clean, pool was lovely and warm. Sometimes we was the only family at the pool. I have looked at other reviews left by another holiday maker who was there at the same time as us and I am disgusted at the racial comments a adult has put in with regards to the British kids and them urinating in the pool !!!!.If these people choose to stay in bed till lunch time and then complain they can not obtain a sun lounger then im afraid to say it's tough ...If you have a problem intergreating with British and other nationalities please stay at home and keep your racial and unfair comments regarding British children and the owners of kyprianos to your self .Some people are to hard to please!!This was a beautiful friendly place to stay and will be going back.

There was some speedbumps getting a INTO a room because Trip Advisor agoda compensated us about 40 for the racial mishap and the card provided did not have enough funds. Aside from that she was very efficient in regards to helping us.

My pregnant wife and I, being racial minorities, felt like we were not welcome in a few incidents. The checkin experience and an encounter with a security guard left us frustrated. We had high expectations from the reviews and recommendations of others and were shocked by some interactions with staff. This was not expected from a wellknown and fine establishment such as yourselves.We arrived for checkin around 3:30pm and walked up to Sylvia, who was focused on her computer. She did not look up, greet or acknowledge us as we sat there waiting for about 20 sec. Then Geri called us over to checkin. She lacked warmth in her greeting and told us that our room was not yet ready which we expected. Geri told us she would call us when it was ready. While we were with Geri, we noticed an older white couple walked into the lobby to checkin and Sylvia welcomed them with a friendly attitude before they were at her desk. We waited at the Loch Ness Pool until 4pm and walked back to the lobby. Geri told us it was still not ready. When we asked about the checkin time policy, she said that it was only a couple minutes after 4 and that there was a large group of people checking out, hence the delay. That is understandable, but she was not even apologetic about it, as if to say, ""That's too bad."" Again, she told us she would call us when the room was ready. We sat in the lobby for about 10 to 15 min. before Sylvia walked over to us and told us that we were being switched into another room. This was appreciated, but why wasn't this done sooner if you all knew that there would be a delay with checkinI already addressed my concerns about Sylvia and Geri above. Before my wife and I left the property, we decided to sit at the Copperhead pool to read. Nobody else was at the pool at the time. A few minutes after sitting down, a security guard drove up to the pool and told us that someone called about the gates being locked to the pool area. He asked us how we got in and we told him we came through the gate and it was not locked of all the times that we were at the pool, we have not had any issues with the gates being locked. After he checked one of the gates and repeating that someone called about the gates being locked, he said, ""While I'm here, do you have a guest pass"" Fortunately, I had it with me, but since when did we have to have a guest pass to access the Copperhead pool None of the other guests that we had seen during our stay had to display a guest pass, nor was there anyone checking. He looked at my pass, tried to make small talk, and then left. We were surprised about the encounter and the fact that he did not check any other gates to see if they were locked." +Hotel,Date of stay: April 2018,United States,Florida FL,Palm Harbor,"Philadelphia, Pennsylvania","Dated, Friendly Staff, but could use Sensitivity Training","In the beginning, the experience was good. The room was clean, the food at the Market was tasty, the Tram drivers and bellmen were polite and friendly.Toward the end of my 4 day/3 night visit I encountered what I believe was racial profiling while relaxing by the Peacock Pool alone on Tuesday, April 17th around 5 pm. I was approached by security and asked for a pass for the pool. I didn't have my guest pass so I showed my room key. The comment used by Jacob, the Securitas security guard, was ""since you cooperated, I will let you slide this time."" I didn't quite understand what he was implying, but I felt that the comment was racially motivated and I was greatly offended. After my experience with security, I was no longer interested in using any other facilities. I just wanted to go home. This experience has impacted my views about Salamander and iPrefer resorts. I do not plan to stay at any resort associated with this brand. I am also not pleased with the way Ron, Director of Operations, handled the situation. He was very insensitive to my complaint and feelings about what happened. I do, however, appreciate the way J. Michael Williams, General Manager, handled the situation. He seemed more sensitive to what I experienced and more willing to try to accommodate me for the last night of my stay.On a positive note, Noeme Lott of housekeeping was very polite and pleasant. She did a great job with the room. Also, Andrea of the Market Grille was an excellent waitress and very polite and attentive. Other pleasant experiences were with the Tram drivers and bellmen." +Hotel,Date of stay: December 2013,Asia,Malaysia,Pahang,"Quezon City, Philippines",The name insults the birds!,"I am not a finicky traveler so this is not a review that just wants to issue bad press or a kind of revenge. I can sleep in hard beds and won't mind old rooms just as long I am treated well. I also try to be patient with hotels when I travel because I know it's tough to maintain a business. However, I am writing this review to help travelers make an informed decision and 'alert' the owner of this hotel to consider a performance assessment and attitude check of the hotel's staff particularly the male manager.We had been treated like secondclass citizens by its male staff we suppose he is the manager/supervisor. It all started with their credit card machine. Apparently, they do not allow the use of the machine's swiping mechanism and only allow the use of the mechanism for micro chips. This information was not mentioned when I called them up by the way, they also do not answer emailsI confirmed our booking only because I made an international callthey did not answer any of my 3 emails.Therefore, upon arrival about 5 pm, we were not able to make the payment for the 1st day of our stay we booked for 2 nights, using our credit card because of this 'weird' thing about not using the swiping mechanism. As we were running out of RM already, we said we will change our money in the evening and make the payment later on. We had available local currency so we temporarily used it to serve as 'security payment' for the room key subject to the agreement that we will replace the local currency with RM as soon as we had made a forex transaction again that evening. The lady staff graciously accepted our money in local currency. We were thankful.We went out and had dinner with friends and, unfortunately, didn't come across any forex shop nearby. We then went back to the hotel thinking that we can postpone the payment in the morning or if they will insist, pay with our money first local currency and we will just replace the money with RM first thing in the morning. All we needed was to have a good night's sleep as we had been in the middle of a road trip around Malaysia.Just a few minutes after entering our room, a staff knocked on our door demanding payment. We told him we did not see any forex shop nearby and asked him if he can accept the exact equivalent of a day's stay in our local currency. He agreed so I asked my husband to settle it at the reception area.Lo and behold, after about 20 minutes, my husband returned saying that their manager arrived and did not allow us to temporarily use our local currency first !. He said was talking to him arrogantly when I went down, I noticed he talked to me that way, too, demanding payment in RM. I went down with my husband and explained to the manager that it was not our problem that they wouldn't allow us to swipe our credit card. Apparently, my husband told me later on that they no longer allow the use of the swiping mechanism because they had been duped before. It's like now, because of that incident, they consider all guests as possible scam artists who will dupe them again. We explained to them that in fact, they accepted our money for the key deposit so why not accept the same money for a day's stay and it was just for the night anyway and swore to find a forex around town, even if we wake up earlier than usual. We appealed but the manager will not listen to any pleading. According to my husband also, the manager demanded to hold BOTH our passports as ""security"" in case we don't want to find RM that evening! Hold BOTH our passports as if we are fugitives! This was turning out to be something that you only see in the movies in a previous era where there was still too much racial discrimination...To make the long story short, my husband and I went out, at about 11:30 pm, in the dead of a very COLD evening, tired, just to look for an ATM machine. Fortunately, there was a branch of a global bank nearby. Can you imagine if we're not depositors in an international bank What if there are only local ATMs there with no global connectivity What if the ATM malfunctioned Will the hotel push us out in the middle of a cold night The hotel manager made us feel that way. He made us feel that our currency is useless, that we are not trustworthy, that we are trying to dupe them. I also thought, in retrospect, will he treat a whiteskinned guest with such arrogance and insensitivity It may sound illogical but such things happen even in the country where I come from. I have seen how local staff tend to prioritize whiteskinned guests in hotel lobbies or reception areas. But that's probably beside the point. Racial discrimination aside, the hotel owner should thoroughly talk with his manager and educate him about manners, about respect, about valuing customers, about the unfairness of treating all guests as possible scammers. If they were worried about guests not paying up, they can improve their credit card policy, or adequately make announcements that ""swiping"" is NOT allowed, especially during the prebooking process. And they should answer emails !.More importantly, they can charge it experience that they have been duped before but they have no right to regard their future guests as possible scammers. A dishonest person will always meet his bad karma. Let the universe teach him a lesson. But for someone to treat people/guests as possible cheaters or criminals just because of a single bad incident is really unfair. This manager should not be in the hotel business unless he learns to be more professional, respectful, and kinder. Any business thrives on good client relationship and customer management. You treat your guests like this and you are causing your eventual downfall.The name ""bird's nest"" reminds us of home, of a nesting place, of a refuge. Sadly, this establishment does not deserve this name as long as it employs a very uncaring manager/staff. Even birds will feel insulted.As for the physical features of the place: They have no elevators and the hotel is on road that climbs up so this means that even climbing up to the lobby and reception takes a lot of effort. Bed quality poor Room below average at least the room assigned to usBathroom terrible sink was leaking so the bathroom floor is always wet. There is also no partition between the wet and dry areas of the bathroom so this was somewhat an issue because Cameron Highlands is a cold place and that means stepping on wet floors all the time in the middle of a very cold eveningOverall comment: You may want to avoid this place. There are other better places in this price range." +Hotel,Date of stay: August 2018,United States,California CA,West Sacramento,"Sacramento, California",Worst experience ever !,"I went there today to attend a birthday get together for my best friends daughter and was enjoying myself until one of the employees approached us very rudely ! Our cars were parked in rv spots we weren't aware and instead of just letting us know that they were rv spots she told us very rudely that we needed to move them to the parking spots by the office and pay 5 which we had no problem doing. Then she goes on about how we had to many people there and that we needed to leave..again very rudely !! We overlooked her attitude with us and tried to find other alternatives like maybe renting another space or cabin for the night or something and she said no ! So we ended up talking to the manager and she said it was okay to rent another space etc.. so then I go to get some stuff from my car and take the kids to the swimming pool and she approaches me and tells me I cant park there AFTER SHE TOLD ME TO PARK THERE! . She was just giving me the hardest time .. so after exchanging a few words I tell her okag I'm gonna walk over to my friend and see what we can do about this. .She tells me to take my car!! .. It's like 1 minute away walking ..so you want me to load all 3 kids up just to drive 10 seconds away ! I just didn't understand why she was being so rude so i told her she was being very rude ..its not what you say it's how you say it !! So she follows me to the trailer where everyone was and starts tripping again so finally everyone was just like is this a racial thing and this crazy lady said ""Yes! It's a racial thing"" and drives off !!! I couldn't believe it !! And then my friend was fed up and asked for a refund and she said no refunds !! There was just no winning with her !! I just left !! Just horrible !!" +Hotel,Date of stay: September 2015,United States,California CA,Sonoma County,"Cambridge, Massachusetts",I am completely without words...,"The customer service at this hotel was ABSOLUTELY DEPLORABLE. I dont think the people who run it understand that the people who check in there are PAYING THEIR SALARIES and keeping their crappy hotel functioning and should therefore be treated with much more respect. I checked in at around 10pm and my daughter and her friend were coming up to hang out for a little while. I had to run to the store and left them in there and when I came back, they were in the hallway with the manager and security who had accused me of trying to sneak unregistered guests into my room, and a security guard who was clearly racial profilng accusing my daugther black of being a prostitute, most likely because her friend was a white male. They told me there are no guests after 9pm, though there was nothing about this rule posted at the desk or in any paperwork that I signed, so they accused me of breaking a rule that I was never informed about in the first place. Upset that I couldnt have my daughter over for a little while keep in mind I am visitng from Massachusetts, I wanted to leave and get my money back because I cannot fathom staying at a motel that doesn't allow you to have guests, and the manager refused saying the room had been used which it really hadnt. I hadnt been in there for more than 45 minutes and hadnt disturbed anything, and threatened to call the police because my daughter and her friend were clearly upset about not being able to come up after driving up so far to see me while I was in town, as if his solution to angry guest being upset with poor customer service policies and practices is to just call the police. He also threatened to charge me a 50 cleaning deposit if my daughter and friend didnt calm down, which is extremely unprofessional to resort to threatening to taking my money instead of working toward a resolution. Interestingly enough, while they were so busy scrutinizing us as if we were up to something sketchy Im an ordained minister so go figure...all of these weird tweaker looking people were roaming the hallways freely without being questioned at all. And its not as if this is the Taj Mahal. My room itself wasnt bad, but the place in general is dirty and full of negative energy and weird looking people. I checked out as soon as I woke up because I only stayed so as not to lose any money. I have been really outraged by the racial profiling that I have endured in California since I have been here, but this one was completely ridiculous!! I am not encouraging anyone to stay here or not. That is entirely up to you, but all of the one star reviews of this place says SO MUCH about what you""re dealing with at this place." +Hotel,Date of stay: July 2017,United States,Maryland MD,Ellicott City,"Salt Lake City, Utah","Would have been 5 Stars, but......","So here's the deal with this place. It was Fantastic for the most part. They had eat and mingle nights for families Monday thru Wednesday and that was awesome. The staff was super friendly and great people. The room was decent, not luxurious but ok. They had a great breakfast, laundry facilities, pool, and exercise room. So here's the down part. They didn't ever really cleaned the room. If there was even a pillow of ours or one backpack on the bed they wouldn't straighten out the bed at all. The biggest thing that made this place a 3 star instead of a 5 star was that one of the staff had kids there or some kinds of another family member, which isn't a problem at all. It's great if someone can bring kids to work, as a working mom I'm all for that. But one of the youth one night had his friends over at 9:30 pm at night and our family went to use the pool while they were there, which also isn't a problem. But they were a group of older teenage boys of maybe 8 total, who were yelling diving and splashing all over the pool. I don't mean just normal splashing like crazy stuff. They were cursing and using profane and offensive racial language so we could purposefully hear them, the whole hotel probably heard them. One of the young men said that they should calm down since others were at the pool too and it was late and the other boys got all worked up about how we addressing my family didn't own the pool and just cause we were white didn't mean that we could tell them what to do, Um, we literally didn't even say anything at ALL. They then started saying things like ""the south will rise again"" and other racial things that I don't feel is appropriate to write here. They started saying passiveagressively that we were being racist to them, which we weren't even doing anything, like talking even to each other because they were so out of control and loud. This was not a situation that had anything to do with race it had to do with a group of young men who have some kind of issue with people of different skin colors and think that it's everyone else, they were rude, had bad manners, were verbally and physically aggressive and had no supervision at all. And, we felt like we couldn't even say anything because we knew from talking with other employees and hearing one of the young men talk about his parent that was working there and seeing and hearing the parent address and instruct the boy several times throughout our stay that his parent would be the one at the desk we would have to complain to. We had several other situations that were weird with other guests at the pool too, but that could be the part of the town this hotel is in and that fellow guests are unpredictable. So, would I stay here again Honestly probably not. Not if staff have their kids there and aren't supervising them or are allowing them to bring unruly and dangerous friends that threaten the peaceful stay of paying guest." +Hotel,Date of stay: June 2017,United States,Virginia VA,Wytheville,"Toledo, Ohio",Terrible experience with guest and general manager,"My family and I were a guest at the Quality Inn located at 2015 E.

I reported the incident to the front desk attendent. She contacted the general manager, James Payne, who instructed her to call the police. The police arrived and took my wife's statement. The perpetrator of the racial slurs had since left the parking lot, but was still checked into the hotel. For the safety of our family, my wife and I decided to find another hotel closer to our final destination. The police officers agreed. However, when I asked for an obvious refund for the night, the general manager, James Payne, refused to grant us one. He informed the front desk attendent via phone that we had already been in the room, and since there was no housekeeper on staff that night, he would be unable to rebook the room to someone else. This made an already emotional situation even worse.

The rooms are not top notch nor super sanitary but still charming with Maharajalike interior decor The hotel has a lovely courtyard and garden square where peacocks would walk in the mornings during breakfast.I was already liking the place until dinner time on the second last day. We sat down to dinner in the small hotel restaurant with a group of friends. We decided to get drinks from the bar located in the adjacent room. The first batch of people from our table came backs with free drinks because there was a sort of ladies night deal and we could get drinks for free. The next batch of people on our table also obtained free drinks and soon I felt that I wanted to get something as well. I walked up to the bar and when I got there, there was an extremely rude and outrightly racist at the bartender who told me I could not be served with a drink. I politely inquired why the rest of my party had gotten free drinks but I could not. He replied in barely audible, terrible English something I could barely understand and asked me where I was sitting. Imagine the shock ad embarrassment of having to walk with the bar tender to show him my table just to prove that I was actually a guest at the hotel!! He muttered an okay but just went back to the adjustment bar room. Suffices to say that I did not get a drink and when I went got back to the table, a perfectly fine night been ruined because the conversation changed to racial microaggression. More importantly, no one bothered to apologize to me. While India is certainly not known for its fair treatment of blackskinned people, as a paying tourist, you'd think you'd be getting your money's worth. I traveled across India during this time and had BEYOND amazing experiences at other hotels across the country The Hilton Garden Inn in Delhi, Aloha on the Ganges, and others. This particular hotel was the ONLY one where I was treated differently from the rest of the rest of the group I was travelling with who were mostly white or Asian. Friends, family and colleagues suggested pursuing legal action against the hotel for racial discrimination but given the short duration of the stay and the complexity of navigating the Indian legal system as a foreigner, it deemed somewhat impractical.

We had to wait more than 40 minutes when we arrived the hotel around 3 am the bellman insisted to keep our luggage up while it is backbag .there was no guests in the lobbay except us and we had to wait 40minutes till they brought our luggage in order to get some stuff. We asked them to place our luggage in luggage store they refused they kept it in the lobby next to bellman desk which is unsafe for us. Upon process of check in three different agents had to switch in order to check us in . One came he got our passport then he left us and send us someone else to print the registrations he just asked us to sign he is front desk supervisor when I asked him about the room rates for each room his answer was unprofessional you booked you should know what the rate is. Am wondering if this is how they train their guests . When I saw his reaction I insisted to get the rates he was frustrated. He didnt give any information about hotel facilities nothing. Just got the keys at 1:00 pm and left to our room . When we entered the rooms it was another story the floor dirty the bathroom floor full of dirt and hair. The chair stained with big spots of coffee the walls full of spots and,stains it was so disgusying. I called the hk in the floor immediately and showed him all the dirts I haf to wait another 40 minutes infront if the room till he finish cleaning . Too bad experience. Internet is too bad signal only available in he lobbyand keep disconnecting every day we have to pass by reception to get a code . This hotel should not considered as a 5stars at all maximum 3 with the bad service from the team and poor facilities. Animation were good freindly , pool attendant were good.

What a bad customer service. I will not recommed this hotel at all . Definetly behind this racial and bad service there is a bad managment. Its obvious the treatment between foreigners non arab and arab guests. Even when I asked one of the team he mentioned suunce we started to have arab guests we forget about standard . Too bad " +Hotel,Date of stay: February 2019,Asia,Japan,Okinawa Prefecture,"Hong Kong, China",Nice hotel,"I booked five nights. I stay with my family and kids.If rent the car, it is the best hotel on the island. In fact, everything is perfect during my stay. Staff is helpful.Half hour walking distance to the city center.I have been tried a restaurant inside of the hotel, the buffet dinner is nice.Express Bus just half an hour to the airport.It is closed to a bananas park, of course, you need to drive about 10 mins.The room is clean the facility is good enough, the Sauna is nice.One thing I don't understand, I book the room with 2 adult and 2 kids. They assign the smaller size king bedroom which compares another standard room. But I didn't ask the hotel the reason. I hope it is not racial discrimination." +Hotel,Date of stay: October 2016,United States,Georgia GA,Georgia Coast,unknown,A fascinating experience,"We were attracted to The Confederate House due to its availability on Wotif, and relative to other properties, it appeared to offer a unique and charming BB experience in a great location at a reasonable price. And to some extent it did most of these things. The Confederate House is in a lovely part of the Historic district of Savannah, and while it is some distance from the hustle and bustle of shops, cafes and restaurants, the walk to them every day either through the park across the road or along the beautiful old buildinglined streets was great. We felt quite safe walking in the evening and there were lots of joggers/walkers and families about. The building itself is quite a site to behold, both inside and out, and while there is a bit of a tiredness to the place, it sounds as if repairs to water damage to the building from the recent hurricane will help provide a needed refresh. On the ""unique and charming BB experience front"" it certainly was a unique experience, and one that added to our appreciation of the complex dynamics of social/racial tensions in the U.S. I'm not sure that this should be the case, but like other reviews below, the host was surprisingly outspoken in sharing her conservative political and racerelated opinions. The experiences that have led the host to hold these views are obviously different to our own, and I guess to some extent, we respect that, but I think by expressing her views so openly runs the risk of making guests feel very uncomfortable and potentially inciting feedback on forums that is not helpful to a commercial operation. We also found our experience of The Confederate House to be unique in other ways, including our welcome and introduction. On entry, we were shown to our seats in the enormous grand hall by Colleen and where the facilities and rules of the house were explained to us. We found the very detailed verbal virtual tour of our room upstairs as we sat in the downstairs hall to be somewhat odd and would suggest to Colleen that she instead develop a simple one page of basicinformation rules around keyuse, wifi details etc that can be handed to guests on arrival allowing her an opportunity to simply chat and welcome guests, without having to get into the nitty gritty details of our room. While I'm sure the intentions behind the sitdown welcome are all good, it seemed strange for things like buttons on our remote and black TV boxes that should never be touched to be explained to us verbally at this point. In all, in terms of facilities we feel like we got what we paid for. In some ways, as visitors to the U.S. and as educated and curious travellers, the hosts input to the morning conversations at breakfast and our subsequent debrief discussions with other guests following were insightful and added to our own understanding of US society at a pivotal time in the country's history." +Hotel,Date of stay: October 2016,United States,Georgia GA,Georgia Coast,"Racine, Wisconsin",Caution: Bates Motel Experience,"The Confederate House is nothing more than a place to sleep and shower; that is, if you dare. My husband and I planned a trip to the south, including 3 nights in Beaufort,SC, and 4 nights in Savannah, GA, at The Confederate House. Following our 3 night stay at a true southern BB, we arrived here at about 2:25 pm and called the owner/operator, as instructed. She informed us that she doesn't check guests in until 3:00, so perhaps we would like to go sit in the park across the street. Proceeding to the park, through the yard, was daunting. The yard is a mess of crumbled brick, concrete and mulch. The exterior of the home is filthy. Once inside, we were told exactly where to leave our bags and which two chairs we could be seated in while she went through the checkin process. The interior of the home is dirty, as well, and has a distinct, musty odor. The first thing out of Colleen's mouth was a political statement I did not agree with. A business owner should be more tactful when addressing guests she doesn't know. She informed us what time breakfast is served and other matters of business, including a warning not to touch the buttons on the t.v. and NEVER to touch the Comcast box dangling from the t.v. because, if something were to go awry with the cable/satellite, it would cost her 100, which would be charged to our credit card. We also heard odd stories about her son and her ailing health. During checkin, she received a phone call from her insurance company and told us she had to take it, leaving us alone in the 2 chairs she ordered us to sit in for about 10 minutes before dismissing us, telling us we were done. Upon going upstairs, we found the room to be okay on first glance; however, the comforter and the floors seemed to have debris on them, and the bathroom had, perhaps, been given a quick onceover, leaving hairs, dust and toothpaste spatter behind from previous guests. Don't expect spa soaps or even facial tissues. Colleen provides large bottles of Suave body washes, shampoo and conditioner for her guests to share. Thankfully, I always pack my own toiletries. My husband and I were so put off by the first impression of the house and the proprietor, we immediately wanted to leave. My husband began searching the internet for other places to stay; however, in the end, we stuck it out because Colleen does not give refunds of any kind. We were not at all comfortable here and spent as little time as possible in the house. I never ate a single breakfast here, but my husband did not have any kudos to give Colleen on her cooking ability. In fact, one morning after breakfast, he was very upset about the conversation at the breakfast table. A couple from Australia had asked Colleen about racial dynamics in the U.S. He told me about how Colleen proceeded on a tirade, the specifics of which I will not repeat here; however, be assured, the remarks were shameful and inappropriate, particularly in the presence of guests. The kindest thing I can think of to say about Colleen is that she did make an attempt to say good morning each day. Please do not spoil your stay in beautiful Savannah by choosing to stay here. If you are on a tight budget, stay at the Quality Inn, instead. The Bates Motel is more welcoming." +Hotel,Date of stay: April 2018,Europe,France,IledeFrance,"Lake Tahoe California, California",Racially Profiled Case 1735742,"I was a guest of this hotel from April 24, 2018 thru April 29, 2018. On Thursday April 26, 2018 approximately 1:30 am I was racially profiled by one of the security officers. A group of us had just returned back to the hotel from dinner. Several of the people from our group stayed outside talking. I jumped out of the UBER and proceeded to enter the hotel thru the revolving doors. A white couple was a couple of steps in front of me. They entered the hotel and the security guard greeted them with hello madame, hello monsieur. The white couple responded by saying hello. As I walked the security guard told me he needed to see my identification and insisted that I show it to him. I responded in by telling him no I was going to use the restroom and to leave me alone. He followed me to the restroom. As he followed me he kept asking for my identification and I told him no. After, using the restroom I proceeded to walk thru the lobby and once again as I left thru the revolving door another white couple entered the door as I was making my exit. I chose to stay in the revolving door and sure enough the guard greeted the white couple with pleasantries. He did not ask for any identification as well he did not follow them. I proceeded to walk towards him and asked for his name and badge information I also used a couple of expletives because all of a sudden he could not speak English. I asked him why he did not ask for identification from the white guest. He did not answer. I did manage to take a picture of him. The first manager that I spoke to was David . He swore to me that it was not racially profiling. At this point my anger was heightened. I advised him that as a white man he has no idea what being racially profiled is like because he never will experience it in his world. The next person that came out of the office was Mylenepanda . She came out to deescalate the situation because she is a black woman. She proceeded to speak to me and then she tried to speak to the security officer. The security officer did not respond to any of her questions. Finally, Jennifer came out and was trying to diffuse the situation. Jennifer, kept insisting it was not a racially motivated incident. I asked Jennifer if we could watch the video tape so she and everyone else could see what occurred. She told me that the only way that could happen was if I placed a police report. I asked to speak to the General Manager of the hotel on several occasions. I was told he could not be reached because he was on holiday. He did send me an email on Tuesday April 30, 2018 once I was back in the states. Mr. , your team has failed! Not one person has taking accountability for the racial profiling that occurred to me at the Hyatt Regency Etoile.I gave you a very descriptive account of what occurred. The incident has been documented several times. The hotel has the security tape, unless they deleted it from the files, which it should have not been. Your customer relations took a report and the call was recorded. Lastly, you received a detailed email from me. Mr. failed; he apologized for the breakdown in communication. He never acknowledged the racial profiling occurred. Mr. stated,"" We also take very serious any situations where our guests do not feel respected and treated fairly."" Let me be clear with you, it is not a feeling of being disrespected and it is not a feeling of being treated unfairly! It is a fact that I was disrespected and it is a fact that I was not treated fairly! You have the documentation. I hold you accountable as the CEO of the Hyatt Regency. It is your responsibility to take ownership of the epic fails. Everyone in your organization had an opportunity to correct this and make it better. I want you to take responsibility for the actions of the employees that represent your company." +Hotel,Date of stay: December 2018,United States,Texas TX,San Antonio,unknown,Waited Over An Hour To CheckIn,"We arrived at the hotel at 2:00pm to check if our rooms were ready and they were not. We left our luggage and headed out to some local attractions. We arrived back at the hotel at 9:45 pm to checkin. We waited in line for over an hour to checkin. They only had one receptionist and she kept getting interrupted by guests who didn't have toiletries in their room, didn't have towels in their rooms, didn't have coffee in their rooms, beds were not available and room cards were not properly programmed. I don't blame the receptionist as she was trying to get through the line as fast as she could but management should have scheduled another receptionist as we were there one night before Christmas eve and they should have expected a holiday rush. While waiting in line we also experienced a very hostile guest that was spewing racial slurs at another guest. He continued to get louder and nobody did anything. The receptionist was so busy I don't know that she heard him but again management should have several staff at night. I have never been to any hotel where it takes over an hour to get a room. I will not be staying at this hotel again." +Hotel,Date of stay: September 2018,United States,California CA,San Luis Obispo County,"Oakland, California",Poor experience,"Unfortunately, my husband and I experienced racial profiling during our stay. We were locked out of our room without warning amongst other disrespectful verbiage only because we wouldn't pay cash prior to our checkout which from my understanding payment isnt due until checkout across the board. Why did this have to happen to us especially after we recommended this hotel to multiple guest to enjoy!" +Hotel,Date of stay: September 2018,United States,Arizona AZ,Flagstaff,"Los Angeles, California",Disappointed,"Booked the room because of the reviews. However, the bed sheet is torn and dirty. Really gross and feel disappointed. I dont understand how did they get such high score. Or they give me bad room because Of racial discrimination." +Hotel,Date of stay: March 2019,Africa,South Africa,Western Cape,"Darlington, United Kingdom",Poor service which fails to meet its 5 star rating and also possible biases of some staff based on race.,"I have just passed my first 24 hours at this hotel out of a 3 day stay and so far the service is poor and does not compare to other 5 star hotels I have stayed at around the world with my personal favourites being five star hotels in Asia in particular the signiel as well as the four seasons in seoul. Firstly, sent an email to the hotel a week before my arrival, unfortunately this was not responded to, I even tweeted the hotel which they did not respond to. This made a bad initial impression, most so called five star hotels respond to most if not all email communication from guests who have upcoming stays. As a result of this poor initial impression, I wasnt expecting much from my stay. I was checked in by a young woman named Samantha who I admit was very nice and welcoming, Pedro bought my bags up, he was also very nice and managed to have a conversation in Portuguese with him even though my Portuguese is not great.The breakfast service was poor, so, staff were not attentive at all and actually appeared to ignore customers, I am a black male in my early 30s and sad to say this may have had an influence in the attentiveness and attitude of staff. When walking in, I was not welcomed or acknowledged at all, 3 members staff were having a chat amongst themselves at a mini reception leading in to the breakfast area and continued to chat amongst themselves, I proceeded to find my own seat then get up to go and get some cereal, when asking for warm milk, also asked for a cup of tea, the person handling the milk station had to ask a waiter to bring the tea to where I was sat. Anyway, when I am having my breakfast, I notice 2 young white woman walk up the breakfast area, staff acknowledge and welcome them and one proceeds to escort them to a seat, I notice this occur again when an older white male turns up. I am little disappointed by this and am left to question why the apparent difference in treatment When, deciding on hotels to stay in capetown, I was aware that racial undertones still existed in South Africa and had led me to reject a few other 5star hotels based upon trip advisor reviews which had indicated undertones of racial biases. Unfortunately, I wasnt expecting this from the westin, given that most reviews I read hadnt pointed out such issues.Staff cleaning the room are not as effective, I went out twice in the morning from 10 to 11am then again 11:30am to 2pm each time staff cleaning the rooms saw me go out, as I was going back to the room at 2pm staff cleaning the rooms ask me if I want the room cleaned, of course, I do, they tell me they are about to finish and the staff who do turndown service can clean the room after 4pm. I wanted the room cleaned and had room service from the night before which I wanted taken out. I opt to go up to the gym whilst the room is cleaned. Again I am not impressed, I know staff are busy cleaning the rooms but surely 2pm is very late to get a room serviced which still has occupancy, I would have expected the room cleaned much earlier especially when I was out let alone having to be asked to wait till 4pm for turndown service to clean the room.Another gripe is that my room was prepaid before arrival, I was asked to leave an amount for incidentals which I opted not to and was told that room service etc would have to be paid on the spot which I was fine with. Most hotels take a deposit which I was expecting but this hotel did not take one. Anyway, I have room service the previous night but the waiter didnt bring the credit card machine and didnt even ask for a payment then, I signed for the room service and expected to settle up the bill when I checked out. Again, I order room service for lunch, same situation occurs, waiter didnt ask for payment just asked for me to sign for the service, again I expected to settle up at checkout. 2 hrs after my lunch I get a phone call from reception saying a payment wasnt taken for room service the previous night and they would need to take the payment today and would be coming to my room with a credit card machine, I was expecting to settle this at checkout like most other places but no problem in settling the bill then, I I tell her about my lunch as well and also tell her to ensure that the waiters bring a credit card machine next time I order room service. Less than 2 minutes after this call, I get the waiter who brought my lunch 2 hours earlier on the phone saying they need to take payment for the lunch I just had. I tell him that I had just got a call from his colleague who was coming up to my room to take payment for the room service the previous night and can pay the lunch as well with this colleague. The receptionist who called earlier turns up at my room but she only has the bill for the room service the night before not my room service lunch, I then had to call the waiter who brought my lunch, now he wants to come up to my room with a credit card machine for the lunch bill, I get annoyed and tell him that its highly inconvenient, I already have his colleague with me and she can take the payment for the lunch, I get the total for this and add it on to the bill for the previous night. Again, this was very poor service, what I have a particular issue with is a lack of trust, in most hotels you can settle on the room service bill at checkout, its not like I am just going to run off. I am also aware that your hotel at checkout will want me to pay the tax bill for my stay and would expect the room service bill to be sorted then.Overall, so far the service has been poor and fails to meet the 5 star rating this hotel has. More worryingly is the differences in treatment I noticed at breakfast service in particular. I also question if the room service fiasco may also be influenced by race. Either way, I will be looking to stay at a different hotel when I am next in Cape Town." +Hotel,Date of stay: May 2014,Asia,China,Hong Kong,"Hong Kong, China",Way overpriced and run by bigots,"The hotel is about what you'd expect in size and cleanliness from a guesthouse in Chungking Mansions, but for more than twice the price. You will be stopped from entering the gate by a bunch of miserable guards, and will have to wait until the owner decides to allow you to go up. The room itself is small, with very basic amenities, and a few cockroaches just like Chungking Mansions. The reception is manned by a sociallyawkward yokel who dislikes foreigners but not their money as evidenced by his liberal use of Cantonese racial slurs, be prepared to be referred to as the gweipo, gweilo, aachaa, hukgwei, etc..

The place has always been affordable, which is why I have always looked past the filthy rooms and seedy people living there. Unfortunately, the last time I stayed there, I experienced such poor customer service and disrespect from the staff that I no longer will stay there. I will say the general manager was very apologetic when I called to inform him about my experience a couple days later. The woman at the front desk, as well as the cleaning staff, showed absolutely zero professionalism or sympathy, even after I pointed out their mistake with my booking and customer service experience there as well. The cleaning staff laughed at me and made racial slurs at me when I went to make a complaint at the front desk! The assistant manager looked as if she wanted to jump me, after I simply asked the question, ""excuse me""....I had to explain to her that I was simply asking her to repeat her last statement. I left feeling that the women working had some kind of personal problem with me for no reason. I was so shaken up by their disrespect. I hope that the appropriate changes in customer service training will be taken for the sake of the other customers like me." +Hotel,Date of stay: June 2018,Europe,Greece,South Aegean,unknown,Threatening and abusing by manager in the night shift,"We did an early check in at about 0600 AM we had arrived from Rome via overnight flight. The manager at the reception made racial comments and was threatening in his interaction without any reason. We were travelling as family husband, wife, 9 yr old daughter and an infant. Our first reaction was where have we landed !! He seemed to have very prejudiced view and looked mentally disturbed. When we complaint to the day shift manager, we were assured of the action against the person.

The rooms were out dated but ok just to crash at. The owner provides no shampoo to any of his guest, and when confronted, becomes argumentive. Knights Inn advertises that this rag of a hotel provides a continental breakfast, which consists of coffee and toast. The milk for the coffee was rancant, curled up in my coffee. The owner agrued it was fine, when he poured it out, chunks flowed from the container. He still claimed it was fine. Maybe in India, but not in the US. I will never say her again. I would like to say you get what you pay for, but this place, eventhough cheap, was not that cheap, and the experiance was dreadfull." +Hotel,Date of stay: November 2018,United States,Nevada NV,Las Vegas,"Yuma, Arizona",I wish they had let the dogs out....,"If you're travelling with dogs, this may be the place for you to stay.

However, if for some reason, you'd like to get the good night's sleep you've paid for, you might want to look elsewhere. The breakfast was okay, pretty much the same as every hotel, but they were a bit slow in restocking the hot food. One of the pans was empty when we went for breakfast, and we were almost finished eating by the time it was finally restocked. And last, but certainly not least, when we were checking in, during the conversation with the front desk clerk, she made a couple of racial stereotype comments not about us that were rather surprising to hear and not what we've come to expect when checking into a hotel.I did bring our issues to management shortly after our stay, and we received an email rather quickly. The email was to be followed up by a phone call which although I didn't need, I fully expected so that we could provide additional details has yet to happen.

This was my second stay in less than 2 weeks. First of all, they have room access problems. The company wants you 'ditch' the card key and use their app to access your room. Even though the app is a waste of life they encourage you to use it by making the carded entry troublesome. Every other entry the card fails forcing residents back to the front desk for assistance. My 3pm late check out was under the wire and I was locked out of my room. I asked the manager for 10 additional minutes beyond 3pm and Doris expressed what she thought of me by asking: ""How'd you even get a late check out in the first place"" Shocked by her query I immediately asked, 'How else does one authorize a late checkout other than paying for it' Before she could answer I continued, 'Ms Doris I'm asking because I'm using the time I've paid for to replace faulty key cards.' ""That's not my problem,"" she said. ""I need my room at 3."" I reminded her that I had chosen this specific Hampton Inn twice in less than two weeks and asked politely one last time: ""Is that how you practice quality customer service here at Hampton Inn, Doris"" She dug her heels in and reminded me that I could stay as long as I liked when I pay for it.I left ontime. I went to the front desk and asked for the district supervisor's contact info. Doris gave me a business card for the front desk. I know because I immediately called the number in front of Doris. When her coworker Joy answered the phone this further confirmed she had no respect for me as a person. She did not care enough about my experience to help me make it right with 10additional minutes nor by honoring my request to share my experiences with her supervisors. People of Colour BEWARE! Hampton Inn Seaport has no respect for you. Should you cross paths with Doris, save your common courtesies. She will literally insult you to your face. She does not care about your dollars nor does she believe in providing quality customer service for People of Colour. BEWARE!!Hampton Inn please note your coworker Doris may be knowledgeable in her field but she is reprehensible as a human. Training her to be a civil human may require racial sensitivity training. What qualifies me to say this I am a professional who has been studying body language for nearly 24 years. If your management team could have witnessed how she spoke to me thru her nonverbal ques you would be embarrassed. People of Colour BEWARE!" +Hotel,Date of stay: June 2018,Europe,Bulgaria,Burgas Province,unknown,An Honest Review of an Abysmal Place,"We had a late night/early morning arrival time of 3:00am, the hotel was not organised for us no key so had to wait at the reception to have this sorted. The entire staff did not speak basic English so was difficult to communicate. Finally, we were put into a spare room, not the seaview in which we paid for, but a small unclean room with big brown stains on the carpet however as this was now 4:00am we put up with it and went to sleep. By chance, we bumped into the nightshift receptionist at the bar the following morning where we were advised we were in the wrong room and had to move our own bags to our new room without any assistance from the staff. Although described as a double bed in both rooms, this was 2 single beds which had been pushed together. In general we found that the staff we spoke to were unhelpful and rude.The hotel is equipped with several elevators throughout the building, however only 1 worked which had to the used by both staff and guests. The room service times were inconstant, varying between 7:00am to 11:00am meaning on several occasions our room was not cleaned. However, even when we did receive this service our room was far from clean they made the beds and swiftly left, meaning the floor was sandy all week and the bathroom was not cleaned. As there was noone attending our room, noone had restocked our toilet roll on 2 nonconsecutive days so we had to find someone on both occasions where were met with blank stares as noone spoke English or Bulgarian.When we asked the receptionist the easiest way to the pool, we were advised we had to go out the main entrance and walk around the whole hotel as there was no shortcut. The sunbeds beside the pool were very limited for the amount of guests in the hotel, and although there was a sign illustrating that people were not meant to reserve these, there was people who went to put their towels on these prior to breakfast and didnt use these all day meaning they were unavailable for guests who wanted to use them.No racial conjecture implied; the guests were predominantly Russian and Polish no other British people in the entire village. We did not feel welcome and we were stared at on many occasions as if from outer space. Few of the staff were actually Bulgarian, as was confirmed by a barman at a bar out with the hotel. Overall, not a friendly place for British people. The hotel was full of families, however it felt as though children were left to run riot around the hotel whilst the adults were downstairs at the bar. Therefore, kids were screaming down the halls at all hours of the day and night, with parents screaming all through the night down round the pool. There was rubbish left on our doorstep for us to trip on by either children or parents, who knows.As we were all inclusive, we were looking forward to food and drink being provided throughout the day. However, this hope was met with more subsequent disappointment of the hotel. The doors were left open all through meal times, so the entire room was full of flies which walked over all the food as nothing was covered or protected from these. Every day each meal was cold, no matter was time you arrived. There was no queueing system, so guests pushed in front and on more than one occasion, I was elbowed and someone stood on my foot and shot me a look as if I was in the wrong. The meat on offer was incorrectly labelled, an example when the dish was labelled chicken and it was brown/grey. There was a freezer available full of ice cream, which noone manned so it was a freeforall. The flavours were not labelled so you were unaware of each flavour and the scoops provided were not functional and did not release the ice cream so was constantly full of various flavours. On only a few occasions they provided a small jug of water to clean the scoops, however this was dirty and was not changed for the hour we were sat near it, truly repulsive. The last straw was when we watched a little girl put ice cream on her cone, lick the scoop and proceed to stack her cone using the same scoop, repeating each and every time. The drinks were also vile, the fruit juice which included apple and orange was pure syrup and sugar, not fresh which we were expecting. Our saving grace was a small supermarket where we could purchase a few items. In the whole 7 days we were there, I was unwell 1 day and my girlfriend was unwell 5 days. When we had finally had enough of the horrendous food on offer, we wanted to try an onsite village restaurant but you were unable to go to any of the restaurants without a reservation which you had to book in the hotels. There was a small window of between 10:00am and 11:00am to book these by one guest relations officer, after waiting in the queue for 40 minutes, we were told that he was no longer taking any reservations today and he had places to beappalling customer service, as us and the man behind us had been waiting for an extremely long period of time.Our experience was far from satisfactory so was really looking forward to our departure day. The transfer was 22:50pm, the checkout time was 12:00pm, and the receptionist expected the bands to be cut off at 12:30pm meaning we would be without food, drink and toilets for over 10 hours.In our stay, we spent the entire time being as polite as we possibly could be given the circumstances, no complaints were raised to the staff or other guests despite their behaviour. We hope in writing this, someone will read this and avoid the ENTIRE Elenite holiday village. Go to Sunny Beach or a different country altogether. The hotel does not deserve the 4 rating and definitely unworthy of the price tag attached for staying." +Hotel,Date of stay: August 2018,United States,Kansas KS,Wichita,unknown,Worst experience!,"I was leary of reserving at Super 8, however, it was associated with the chain Wyndham so I booked. Mistake. There was no elevator that went from lobby to our floor, the bedside tables had to be plugged in and unplugged to turn on and off, and the floor lamp had no lightbulbs. We stayed in a smoking room and there were burns in the comforter! Not to mention they rerented our room while we were out and gave someone else keys to our room!

My family arrived in the evening for checkin. We tried to stop at the front, where there's a sign that states that you can stop for 10min for checkin. A man, that later turned out to be the hotel's manager, standing near the front kept shooing us forward, so we decided to just drive on, and park in the back parking lot instead. After rudely and repeatedly telling us to keep driving, the manager then tried to open our friend's rear passenger door they were following behind us in their car. She initially thought he was opening her door for checkin, so she told him that she wasn't checking in; that the car in front of her us was actually customers trying to check in, and didn't understand why he didn't let us stop to check in. He claimed that she was his Uber driver, and when she said she and her daughter were not Uber drivers, he pointed out that her car fit the description for his Uber ride. When we tried to check in after we parked, the receptionist told my husband that they were cancelling our reservation, and that the owner told him to do so. When my husband turned to tell me this, we were in shock. The receptionist stated that the hotel reserved the right to refuse service to us. We were taken aback, and confused, as we had just entered the lobby, and didn't know what we had done wrong. We asked to speak with the owner or manager. The receptionist contacted him, and about 2030min later, the owner/manager, Chirag , called the front desk, and spoke with my husband, and then to me. He claimed that our friend had been rude, and despite not being their customer, he was refusing us service because she is our friend. He denied thinking she was an Uber driver, and accused her of using a racial slur. She never saw his face from the driver's seat, would never say anything like that, and she didn't understand why he would accuse her of that. Of note, my husband and I are minorities, as are our friend and her daughter, and she would never do anything like that. They were so taken aback by all this, and asked if this stuff happens normally in America. They are visiting relatives nearby, and are from Egypt. The man was belligerent and hostile in his words and attitude. When I told him that we had two young children with us and that he's throwing us out late it was only 8:30pm, but this is late for our children at night without a place to stay, he said, 'you're welcome.' It seems that we were in the wrong place at the wrong time, and suffered because the owner was in a bad mood and took it out on us it's scary that he would do this to customers on a whim, and seems like he had a power trip.It was a difficult night for our family. We and our friends were hurt and upset by Mr. 's actions, and by his accusations. Only after did we see on Yelp and other review sites that many others have made similar complaints about this hotel and the staff.

Our family of 5 stayed for 8 days for my child's sports tournament. Our room was never cleaned ""refreshed"" properly on any day. Some days, they would take our dirty towels but not bring new ones so we would have to go hunt them down. They would make up one bed but not the other one. They never emptied the trash. They once took the trash can away and just threw a new plastic trash can liner on the floor by the toilet. We always ran out of toilet paper and had to go get more. Every single day we had to contact the front desk for several issues. Once when I called, my husband happened to be standing at the front desk with other customers. He watched the front desk woman say our name and room number aloud, make a loud sigh, and just pick up the phone and hang back up on me. The evening manager promised we would have a full cleaning due to so many mishaps but it wasn't done the next day. We had to call again and finally they did a shoddy full cleaning the evening before we checked out but they put a bloody sheet on one of our beds. I think it was intentional. The evening manager told us that their cleaning crew kept quitting and they were using people from other local hotels. I'm sure it is because the management is so poor. On the day before we left, we discussed our concerns with the day manager and she said they would compensate us for this horrendous stay. The day of check out the overall manager said there was nothing he was going to do, he never apologized and told us that ""if we had problems after the first day, we should have found another place to stay"". I detected some racial overtones in his treatment of my husband that are of great concern to me. We called the corporate Marriott office to file a complaint and were told they would contact us within 3 days. It has been two weeks.

The bathroom area could of used a good scrubbing and the carpet didnt look like it was vacuumed in months. I dont think any of the housekeepers vacuum between the bed and drawers being their was crackers crumbs and used condom rapper laying there. I found out what housekeeper cleaned my room and her name is Reneta. I highly recommend management to retrain this person in cleanliness. The room has an iron, blow dryer, coffee maker and laundry service. This room you could hear all the noise from the kitchen to guests coming and going out the doors in the hallway. Since I was only here after 3pm I had to listen to the kitchen noise till 10pm.My second day here I went up to the front desk to ask about transfers and I do not know what was going on in back but it sounded like a circus! Loud music being played and people laughing and talking so loud with bad language I couldnt believe management would approve of this type of setting or even if they cared!Didnt bother to use the pool or gym being most of the hotel looked dusty and dirty. Also looked like the housekeepers needed to be kept busy instead of talking bad about what appeared to be other employees right outside my door. This hotel is way over priced for what it offers.

I went to Mauritius expecting super service based on what people from SA normally say about Mauritius. I was greeted with poor service which I think had racial prejudicial tones in that despite a huge laggage the gentleman who sat at reception saw no need to assist until such time that he had to be asked.In my hotel room I was greeted with a substandard room, which was cold etc. When I called the reception for additional blanket s, extra towel I was told the hotel only provides one bath towel. I also needed a hand towel and sleepers as I didn't bring mine. At this stage I was told the hotel does not have guest services. This is when I told them I will be checking out the following day.Came the morning, breakfast , it is clear that the lady who prepares the eggs has no culinary training or any hospitality training.

At checkin the young lady was very nice and welcoming, but the guy that was assisting her was very unfriendly as was one of the other ladies while we were there. They would not speak or smile at any point. We even passed by the front desk on one occasion and heard a conversation between the guy and a guest where the guest was saying how unsegregated the area has become and its not what he was used to in this area. Smh. So if you plan to stay here, please know that this is Forsyth County Gasimply google it with a very small AA population less than 4 and a history of some extreme racial tension, so we were not suprised at all by his comments or the overall lack of friendliness during our stay.The room was much smaller than expected and had no sofa or loveseat as the pictures showed when we booked it. The AC unit is one of those older model ones that sits under the window and is controlled by the thermostat on the wall. It didnt cool very well or circulate throughout the room. It was VERY loud....so loud that we had to have the tv volume at 25 to hear over it. And it was difficult sleeping through the noise especially if you are accustomed to a very peaceful nights sleep. The cleanliness of the bathroom was disappointing. And when we arrived, one of the pillowcases had a large amount of dry blood on it!! We left the pillow on the floor for housekeeping to take with them the next morning, however when we returned the following day housekeeping had put it back on the bed when they came to ""clean""!!!! I called to notify the front desk, and because the lady very nice and apologetic was alone down there I had to get back dressed and go down to get a clean pillow. The pool was very small, almost like a large hot tub. We did not bother with getting in. Overall, for the price of about 175 per night total there are definitely much better choices in the area. Go a few exits up 811 on the Fulton County side for nice accommodations, more welcoming environment, and a better value. We will not return, or recommend this hotel to any of our clients.

We were all adults and paying customers. One person said their number and she replied, ""All of you"". She assumed we were together.

Why didn't she recognized me he asked. Everyone swimming that day concluded same idea. If all white folks were in the pool, no questions would have been asked. Simply too many blacks in one space at one time having fun. That made someone nervous. Thinking back, I recall white visitors on balcony towel in hand looking like they were missing out.

To begin with i'd like to be clear that i am in no way racist... if you are black DO NOT STAY HERE or even land at Antalya International airport... THE AIRPORTWhen going through passport control, there were 5 different queues; Disabled passengers2 for Turkish citizens2 for E passportsNo one knew which to stand in until a security officer came out and told us to queue anywhere so we did. We queued for 30mins in the shortest queue which was for disabled passengers. Once we got to the desk the woman behind the desk asked us for our visas which we didn't know we needed. I explained i wasn't told to get one to which she sucked her teeth, rolled her eyes and pointed us to the left with a snap. So we went to the office that she directed us to and i explained that i needed a visa but only had Turkish liyra. She made out she didn't understand and that i couldn't pay in liyra only euros and dollars. I asked her where i could take out the correct money and she shooed me off. So we went looking for a cash point and couldn't find any... i decided to go to the window next to her and ask again and was able to obtain a visa for 120tl make sure you have your visa before travelling I'm not entirely sure if everyone had to but i did once i got back to my sister she explained that whilst i was walking away the woman was flapping Turkish liyra around whilst pulling faces so she knew i could pay in tl... from the moment i arrived in the airport i was met with racial hostility from staff. Because of all of this we missed our shuttle but luckily, a gentle man was able to take us.ARRIVALThe hotel was almost an hour away from the hotel. Once we arrived at GS we were met by 2 lovely hospitality staff; a young man who looked like MJ and another older man unfortunately i was too exhausted to get their names. We were then taken to our rooms in a slightly run down lift that spoke weirdly once we reached the 4th floor. There were buggies and prams in the corridors which sometimes got in the way of traveling around the hotel.ROOM STANDARDSOur room was standard but not 4. The bathroom light made an electrical buzzing sound when you turned it off as if it were to explode and the main shower head churned violently when you turned it on and constantly dripped if you used the smaller shower head instead. The shower doors were a little worn and by our 2nd day one had unhinged.The floors in the room weren't mopped for the duration of our stay but the room in general was very clean. The beds were like sleeping on the floor with absolutely no bounce to provide a decent sleep unless you were wasted. We went to the beach on the 2nd day and i noticed my hip was stinging where the bed sheets had scratched me and i ended up with scale like cuts. The bed was awful. There were 2 plug ports one across the room and the other in the wardrobe so i had to sleep away from my phone which made turning my alarm off very difficult.To get away from all of the German and Polish people who constantly starred, laughed and pointed at us, we stayed in our room most evenings although that was a difficult task. In the hotel manual it states that they have tv channels in several languages; this was false, everything was either in Turkish, Polish or German. Everything from avengers, comedy central, cartoon network, csi and the big bang theory. There was absolutely NOTHING to watch so we ended up paying 24tl for wifi that barely worked. I called reception to ask and they confirmed there were no english channels; we went to the shop and got a pack of uno cards. The air con was a huge nuisance, trying to find a decent setting was a nightmare so we would often wake up super dehydrated or shivering. The minibar was stocked with 3 bottles of water. The room had a decent sized balcony but it faced another hotel and a short road, however it was pretty handy because they played decent music occasionally and made a nice background for photos. If you looked completely far right you could see mountains in the distance and to the far left the sea.FOODThe food was always the same, although there was a small menu that was given to us on a hotel timetable which was really handy which had specialities on different days but that wasn't the case. The food was out so there were often flies buzzing around or stuck to the food so you had to be careful what you were eating. The catering staff and waiting staff were lovely... waiting to het food was difficult especially if you have O.C.D because there were so many kids running around using their hands and coughing around the food, their parents didn't seem to care much. There was an freshly squeezed orange juice table; i walked past and could smell a mildew kind of smell, when i looked into the bowl half of the oranges were rotten. The juice costed 1 for a glass. The meal schedule for fully incl was breakfast, lunch, snacks burger chips, dinner and midnight soup which was whatever was left over; so chicken soup after roast chicken at dinner etc. The juices tasted like they were spiked with vinegar so we stuck to chips and Fanta or 7up. Most days we had to go to the local restaurant to eat because we didn't enjoy the hotel meals and so we were starving!Make sure you get your alcohol at duty free as the drinks served were not nice at all.On a positive note, my sister managed to get a table dressed for my birthday breakfast which was really lovely.POOLS, ENTERTAINMENT AND SPAThere were 3 pools; main pool with slides and bar, medium sized pool and paddling pool. They were checked regularly by specialist staff so i was very happy with that. The pools were always packed but when the children came over it was pretty busy. The entertainment was terrible and we heard the same activities at least 3 times whilst we were there. Again we didn't join in due to the starring and children running scared of us.The spa therapist who was hounding us was very irritating. We were sun bathing and he came over and started a conversation which then proceeded into a demonstration totally get that he has to promote the spa but he often disturbed us. We finally gave in and asked for prices although i had wanted to get treatments done on my birthday. He explained the prices which he said was 30tl35tl he asked us to add it up so we did but apparently it equalled 50tl instead, he was anxious to book us in and asked us again the next 2 days until it was uncomfortable seeing him.OTHER FACILITIESIn the hotel there are a few other services;A little shopOpticiansHair salonSpaSouvenir shopBag shopClothes shop super expensive almost 8 32tl for a sarong and the man was very rude and impatient because he couldn't understand mePhoto memorabilia we purchased a plate for 65tl but you may have to order it straight away as it takes 24hrsDiscoTHE BEACHThe beach was a 10min walk from the hotel. It had different sections for different hotels. There was food left on the side uncovered for guests and several birds were just pecking away. You would only see ""the beauty"" of it on alecarte evenings which i still wouldn't attend because the food is constantly left out. The sections had a large amount of loungers, some that were under a mass shelter and others that were dotted around closer to the sea which was good. The beach was relatively clean until you got to the end.THE AREAThere strip is very long with numerous shops selling pretty much the same thing. There are 3 or 4 convenient stores which would as you where you were from in a ""friendly"" way so they could bump the prices up if you said London. They sold lots of haribo, pringles and mms but nothing else familiar other than those.There were 3 main restaurants close to the hotel; a grotty looking kebabish, a slightly pricey shisha restaurant and a casual restaurant called Saray Restaurant owned by a lovely man. The food was quite nice especially the pizza and the service is lovely! A margarita pizza is 12.Further down to the right is a small shopping centre full of eager salesman that hound you as you walk past asking where you're from. They don't accept bartering so its best to look around the whole centre for better prices.If you fancy kfc or burger king you're looking at 1530 min taxi drive as the hotel is nowhere near the city!!!CHECKING OUTChecking out was awful. We were expected to stay all day without a shower. We checked out at 12 and our shuttle wasn't arriving until 7pm. We asked for a day room to freshen up before traveling home and we were directed to a single shower that had a missing shower door so water went everywhere. I paid for my wifi but i had my last day included so i could make contact with people especially as it was my birthday, however my wifi wasn't working. When i went to reception and explained the situation they said i had checked out so i had to go to the manager and demand that i had access to the wifi or my money back.Overall i will NEVER stay there again, its not 4 and not worth the money i spent." +Hotel,Date of stay: January 2019,United States,Virginia VA,Alexandria,unknown,Racially Harassed by Staff and guest,"Awful treatment. The manager allowed other guest to make racial and harassing comments to me while these guest were blocking me in my room at the rooms door. The hotel security was standing watching them harassing me and they did nothing to stop it. The other guest were repeadily calling me a white bith at my door when a member of the hotel staff brought me a new room key to a different room because the neighbors were harassing us threw the walls for absolutely no reason. After going to a new room that was not very clean and not what I booked, I called the manager to discuss the room and the harassment. She spoke over me and did not allow me to speak. When I told her that I felt the need to call Best Western Corporate, she told me I had to leave and said she was calling the police. As a very law abiding citizen and someone who only treats people kindly, I did leave because I dont need to be involved in that. She also refused a refund after she made us leave due to my worries of being racially harassed and approached aggressively by other said guest. Im very glad that the hotel has video surveillance cameras near the door of my original room and vehicle that was parked outside. The videos will be extremely useful." +Hotel,Date of stay: December 2014,Europe,Germany,BadenWurttemberg,mumbai,"lovely hotel,not so lovely reception staff. 20thdec to 24th dec 2014","let me begin by saying that this is an absolutely lovely ,comfortable , value for money hotel. it is located across the river with wonderful views of gengenbach,slightly away fom the gengenbach oldtown centre but a very easy walk , the rooms are spacious ,the beds comfortable,breakfast adequate.in short this hotel has everything going for it except,it has the worst reception staff in the world.there is a lady called frau martin and I would advise future travellers to this property to stay clear of her.she is cold un cooperative and has absolutely no idea how one should conduct oneselves in the hospitalitly industry. she caused me immense discomfort in many ways . firdt of all she was always making faces rite thru the 4 days I stayed there. secondly I just needed a siple thing done like calling one of the mobile companies in Germany and getiing my pin for the sim card. I don't speak german or would have done it myself, she made such a ig deal out of it and in the end did not do it and even misguided me that it cannot be done on the phone . ultimately I got someone else to help my from a shop and got it done on the phone.now to some more serious matters. I had a booking here only for 2 days and I wanted to extend for another 2 days as I absolutely loved the hotel inspite of our dear friendly lady she tells me there is no chance of extending as they are totally sold out this was at 8 pm before the day I had to check out. so I packed up all my stuff and was ready to check out next day after breakfast. I saw a more approachable lady at the reception and asked her if I could extend. and surprise surprise she said of course I could.as there was room in the hotel. as if this was not enough frau martin caused further trouble for me I am sure intentionally since I was cxhecking out early on 24th dec moring I went to settle my bill on 23rd night itself.i was utterly dismayed to see frau martin at the reception I suspect the feelings were mutual I requested her to do the billing and as I never check I paid the 576 euroes by amex card which she asked for without a thought and went to my room.just by intuition I checked the bill once in my room and no surprise frau martin had charged me 42 euroes extra. I went down and pointed out her error which she was not willing to admit for atleast 10 minutes.then I gave her the day by day break up and showed my booking copies to her again.she cancelled the transction and charged my card again for the correct amount.as my account is in rupees amex charged me quite a sizeable amount as foreign exchange difference which I had to pay for no fault of mine. thre was another lady at the reception when I checked out,and just becose I forgot the card key inb the room slot she gave me such a dirty look as if I had commited a serious crime. all aspects of this hotel are very very good, even the price is definetly worth the hotel. would highly recommend staying here if you can stay clear of frau martin. I hope the management realizes that they truly have a really nice hotel and should make the most of it by keeping appropriate staff who are suited for the job. the hotel has an indoor pool and freee wifi which works pretty well. the room also has an heater and a clothes drier in the bathroom. I have travelled all over Europe but never seen staff which goes out of its way to cause problem to its guests. since no other guests have seemed to complained about this earliear reviews I suspect there may be an racial shade to this treatement as we are from india." +Hotel,Date of stay: January 2018,Asia,Indonesia,Bali,"Seminyak, Indonesia",Discrimination,Nice hotel reasonably priced and good garden. Staff helpful but not really trained to international standard. Could not eat in garden restaurant because of contractors coming.

We had read other rebiews about loud campers but didn't think it would be a big issue. It was! Our neighbors a large group shined a bright light into our tent, yelled and played loud music until past 3:00 AM. When they were asked to be quiet, they laughed. It took until 2:00 AM for any park employee to come out. After he left they used racial slurs, cursed and said they were going to get their money's worth. He came again after 3:00 AM. They laughed about him getting overtime. Nothing was done. We complained the next day and were offered a new site. We declined and left. We talked to a dad at the playground who had a similar issue on the other side of camp. Apparently it seems to be a known thing that you can be loud, rude and inconsiderate and nothing happens. This creates bigger issues. Also dogs on the beach in the swim area when the sign clearly said no pets. Three employees walked by and didn't enforce. Once again, people will do whatever if rules aren't enforced. Will never go again and will tell everyone not to go. But don't worry the people that are rude will keep coming back and bring lots of friends." +Hotel,Date of stay: January 2019,Africa,Morocco,Grand Casablanca Region,"Jeddah, Saudi Arabia",Terrible service.,"The service in this hotel is horrible! Just avoid it in the future as there are so many choices nearby. The front desk guys were cold and impatient. They refused to recognize my silver status membership; we were charged extras without shown any official receipt I filed a complaint to Accor but still have not received the receipt after 3 weeks.; they offered cash exchange service but refused to change even only 200USD for us. When we were leaving negative comments in Booking.com, we were shocked to find out that the hotel is notorious for providing poor service and overcharging especially towards Asians China, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, etc.. I guess racial discrimination is the worst comment that a hotel could ever receive." +Hotel,Date of stay: March 2018,United States,New Jersey NJ,Jersey Shore,unknown,Do not stay here!,"The night we checked in, we went to our room. The elevator looked old and buttons were broken. Our floor smelled like smoke. The door to our room did not seem secure. The lock was loose. The room smelled like mold and the carpet had weird stains. The faucets were rusted. Even though we were in a non smoking floor, the bathtub had cigarette stains on it. There is a microwave in the room however looked like it was just thrown in to cover a hole. It was even unplugged and when we went to plug it, the plug wouldnt reach the wall. We had to take it down, put it on the floor so we could plug it while we heated up some food. The so called gym was a total joke. The elpticas machine had wires coming out of it and the plastic cover for the motor was broken and in the floor. The Nautilus machine had all the cables and pulleys broken on the floor. The next morning we had an eh breakfast. Coffee tasted like dirty water. There were dead flies on the floor by the window. As we went back to the room, I saw a guest causing a commotion yelling and cursing at the clerk with racial connotations which scared my kids. I thought to myself, what kind of people stay here Well from this experience, very questionable people at best. The overall cleanliness of the hotel is poor. The overall cleanliness of the room is poor. We sucked it up because it was only 2 nights and there was no vacancy elsewhere. Will NOT stay here ever again." +Hotel,Date of stay: December 2013,Asia,India,Kerala,"Auckland Central, New Zealand",Owner aggressive and frightening,"I travelled to Munnar with my Mum in October and we were dropped off at John's Cottage, with no reservation. We decided we didn't want to stay as the room was damp and dank and immediately John and his friend became extremely angry, and verbally abusive towards us. John is a large man and stood in the doorway to prevent us leaving and demanded full payment even though we had not reserved. He was aggressive, intimidating, coming close up to us and would not let us leave without paying. Even after paying we had no choice he continued to shout abuse including racial abuse. As two female travellers we felt frightened by John and fearful for our safety." +Hotel,Date of stay: September 2016,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,"Burnley, United Kingdom",Disgusting!!!!,"What an absolute disgusting place off a hell hole..

Girl on the accidentally cancelled our reservation.,"Thank god for the front desk manager, Erik, insuring we had a room and fixing the problem. I even overheard the GM using several racial slurs. Lobby was dirty every time we walked through. WILL NOT BE STAYING AGAIN" +Hotel,Date of stay: April 2018,United States,Connecticut CT,Norwalk,NY,"Would stay again to escape the city, just not for breakfast","The lobby of this location is very warm and welcoming with complimentary water and coffee and a real working fire place. We were there for 2 nights. Staff was mostly courtesy, our room was very clean and spacious, we picked a corner room on the Hilton app. The only issue I had with the room is the outer curtains didn't close all the way and inner curtains were veil thin so there still light from the streets coming in and then the sun in the morning. Still had a few good nights of sleep. Bed was comfortable as you can adjust the firmness and temperature control was steady.We had breakfast there our first morning, we waited to be seated for a few minutes and asked a staff member if we should seat ourselves. They showed us to a table and explain it was a buffet style, also they weren't our server. The food choices were little to choose from, they had some made to order items. Not being hopeful, I asked if they had turkey bacon, they didn't but had turkey sausage I was pleasantly surprised. Made to order items will be brought to your table. We saw our server twice to bring utensils and the made to order food, then she disappeared. We manage to get a cup of ice from her since I wanted ice coffee and it at first seemed selfserved. We heard her asked everyone else if they wanted coffee or water and the were brought mugs and glasses. We were never asked. Kind of put off by that, we kept getting up to get our own water and coffee at the self service welcome station with paper cups until they ran out of coffee at 10 am...mind you this was only the self serving kind. We were advised by another employee it would be refilled and to ask our server for more coffee. When we finally got our server's attention for water and coffee, she only brought out 1 water and coffee and ran off. There were two of us... my husband went to the buffet and had chocolate milk until we Overall the food and coffee were decent we both enjoyed our own pork and turkey sausage but the service needs to be work on. I'm not sure why we received poor service; the only differences between us and other tables with couples were we were a younger couple and a biracial one. I am not claiming bias as my husband is the same race as the server, honestly, our server just seemed lost in space but it doesn't account for her being attentive to the other tables and not us.I didn't use any of the other amenities like the pool working, business center or gym. We had a few drinks at the bar both nights. They were good and reasonable price, however some garnish would've been nice for my cocktail. Also, they had Cruzan rum listed on the menu but only carried two other standard rums. I wish they would update their menu as no reason was offer why they didn't have it. The bar area is very small so most guests were making use of the lobby seating and breakfast tables, it made for a cozy and comfortable atmosphere. I would stay here again, however we would take our chances crossing the busy road to have breakfast at Starbucks or go further into town and eat at a cafe like we did the second morning." +Hotel,Date of stay: July 2017,United States,Indiana IN,Indianapolis,"Westerville, Ohio","Clean, decent accommodations.",O my 1 waffle maker. Pic shows two. One tray of scrambled eggs and sausage patties. There wasn't enough room for everyone and there was a group of teenage boys hovering around the food and hogging the 1 waffle maker. Their language was offensive and racial slurs were being dropped making guests uncomfortable. They were African American dropping the n word at eachother. The breakfast area could use another waffle maker and tray of eggs and sausage for the number of guests who were staying there. Wait time did not permit several people to take advantage of the free breakfast which is taken I to consideration when booking a hotel. Just drop the breakfast and lower your price by 20 bucks and it would cut your expenses and provide a better stay experience for your guests. +Hotel,Date of stay: October 2018,Asia,Japan,Kanto,unknown,Overpriced nothing,I vacation a lot. I have spent many months in city around the world. This place was the largest rip off I have come across. Everything is over priced and not good. Breakfast buffet was a total rip. The worse show of using a big name for overcharging guests. Many staff could not speak English which is disappointing. I am North American and found this hotel to have a racial component as well. Seemed a bit that all of Japan did. I just didnt expect it at my hotel. Ordered our 25 bar drinks after waiting for 15 mins just to wait another 20 mins to get it. However some Japanese guests treated instantly. We looked presentable and did not cause trouble. Were just North American. Our room was facing the train tracks so loud all day. The 2 elevator systems sucks if you want to enjoy the outside and come back in. The gym is very small. Location is good that thats going for them. +Hotel,Date of stay: February 2019,Asia,India,Goa,"Mumbai, India",Stop by for a tasty dinner and a bit of racism if you're Indian,"Leaving this for the restaurant as opposed to the resort as a whole, though if this is the way the restaurant staff are, then I suppose the resort can't be far behind. Always a good reminder, that even in 2019, in this part of Goa, people just don't know how to treat people decently, and more importantly professionally.I stayed a couple of nights in Mandrem, and went to Dunes for dinner on both nights. It wasn't too busy on the first night, and though the staff was fairly surly I just assumed they were always like that, I received my order quickly, and it was tasty.I came back the second night, and it was a lot busier. I had to wait to be seated, and though they had a few tables open in the back section, I wanted to sit in the front by the sea. A table right by the front became available after a few minutes, and the waiter indicated that I should go and sit there, and said that he would be with me shortly.As I was walking towards my table, I saw a young, foreign couple get up from their table towards the back and start rushing towards the empty table that was supposed to be mine. They got there a second after I did, and the girl grabbed the chair and squeezed past me to try and sit down. It was absurd that they were behaving that desperately in the first place, but I calmly said to her that this was my table. She responded by saying that they'd been wanting to sit there, and I merely said that I'd been waiting, and this is where I'd been seated.By this time the waiter had arrived at the table, and when confronted by a scene where he presumably had to choose between pleasing a slightly unreasonable foreign couple, or doing his duty and seating his Indian customer, he chose the former.He motioned with his hand towards the table that they'd just vacated, and said ""go sit over there"" in Hindi, and gave them the table at the front.I contemplated making a scene, but decided not to go through the trouble of doing so, since sorting this out was their responsibility and not mine. Giving the couple the benefit of the doubt, I asked the waiter if perhaps they had put their names down and asked to move tables earlier, but he confirmed that no, they hadn't. I asked him on what basis he gave them the table over me, and he shrugged and said ""what do you want me to do"".At this point, I told him that it was pretty clear where his ideals were, and he just smirked and walked off. I left the restaurant feeling quite sickened and upset at being treated like this I honestly don't know why this kind of thing still happens. It's a beach shack in Mandrem after all, so it's not like spending power is really a factor here.I called the place later, and made a complaint to the management. They barely bothered to listen to the call, and ended it saying they would pass my ""feedback"" on. I'm pretty sure that went nowhere." +Hotel,Date of stay: October 2018,Asia,Japan,Chubu,unknown,Racism,I am extremely disappointed to share my experience of the racism at lotte Arai hotel.

I was shocked by their blatant rasict remark and deeply saddened by this. My family and I have supported Arai from its reopening and have shared some memorable family milestones there. With this type of remark it is hard for us to feel welcome and to suppprt such an organization that allows open racism.

However, compared to other four seasons branches the resort in Mauritius seemed more like a 3 star hotel in terms of ethical standards and service. We had an incident where we were subject to a racist attack and verbal abuse by a couple at the beach because they wanted to sit on the beds that we were sitting at even though all other beds around us were empty. We were three girls wearing head scarfs and the foreign couple made comments about our head scarfs, the country we come from and gave us the middle finger. The beach attendant raised the matter to the management of the resort as he seemed genuinely concerned about us. However, the statements made by the resort management once they became aware of the incident were very sad and alarming. The front desk manager stated the following ""the couple's behavior is not a breach of any law in Mauritius and the resort can't do anything about it"", ""the guy is from Italy and giving hand gestures is something normal"" and ""only if there was physical abuse then we can take action against it"". Further, they assured us that we will not encounter the couple for the rest of our stay at the resort but nothing was done by the resort. We have encountered the same couple at every restaurant we had breakfast and dinner at. The resort became a very hostile environment for us following the incident. I don't think the staff at the resort understand the magnitude of racism as they tried to offer us spa treatment to ""forget about what happened"". The code of ethics available on the four seasons website clearly states that verbal abuse will not be tolerated. But, their own staff don't uphold any of the integrity and ethical standards mentioned under their own code. Nowadays, even small shops that are desperate for business take firm actions against racism by reporting it to authorities and refusing to host racist people and a 5 star resort like four seasons decided to tolerate racism and do nothing about the matter." +Hotel,Date of stay: July 2014,Asia,Sri Lanka,Southern Province,"Las Vegas, Nevada",Amil K. is worng!,"The review written by Amil K. does not relate to reality and what could have happened. As a former travel executive I could vouch that Amil K. is wrongfully referring to the world wide policy of hotels allowing only guests to use the pool. Hotels all over the world from Las Vegas strip to Maldives use this policy to provide privacy for their guests. Amil K. must have attempted to use the hotel pool and was told that the pool is only for guests. People from Sri Lanka are very friendly and kind. They even do not have a word or term for racism in common use Sinhala language. I am not going to believe a hospitality industry worker from Sri Lanka would make such a comment even in private. But Amil K would like me to believe that the receptionist made such a comment to the face of the race that she was offending.The receptionist in question has the skin color of brown or black! Amil K. states that she is being racist to her own race If that is the case that is not racism. Amil K. has arguments that are horribly poor. Just like his spelling.

The rooms were beautiful and the breakfast was great but if there's one thing that I stand firmly for, it would be the understanding of different cultures and acceptance of diversity. Traveled to Nea Kios with my hockey team mates for the EuroHockey Indoor Club Champions Challenge II. The majority of my team mates are pakistani and due to their religious beliefs, they can only eat halal meat. Since Nea Kios is such a small town, there is no halal meat available so they had no option that to order food to be delivered from Athens. We all gathered in a room, moved the furniture around, laid a sheet on the ground and placed the food on top, then sat in a circle and began to eat something that they've done several times in other hotels in countries like Serbia, Turkey, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Sweden, and Germany. Next thing we know, the owner comes in screaming in half greek half english saying it was not allowed and we were destroying his hotel. Words cannot describe my horrifying experience. His rage was unnecessary and it got to the point of being violent he had slammed his arm against the door, broke the bed after hitting it, and almost hit one of my team mates. He eventually yelled at all of us to get out and started picking up the food and almost throwing it on the ground outside. I didn't understand what we had done was wrong.His justification for reacting so strongly was that he had spent much of his time and money into building this hotel and we were destroying his room and it wasn't allowed to gather everyone in a room and eat together. Apparently, if he had called the tourist agency, we would of been taken and placed in jail for what we did... but honestly it's complete bs. If he didn't agree with us eating there he could of went about it in a much more rational matter but this man came raging in like we had ransacked his hotel. It saddens me to say but if I had been traveling with an all white team, we would of never have been placed in this situation. I understand Greece is going through harsh financial times and with all the illegal immigrants being deported back to Greece breeds much animosity between different races but that in no way validates discrimination and racism. You cannot judge a person based on stereotypes and assumptions. I've played hockey with these men for sometime now and I know they meant no harm; it's in their culture to gather together and eat... as it is in many others.How can the we make the world be a better place if we continue to close our eyes to different cultures and give into to stereotypes rather than change them Even if this hotel was the best, it's against my morals to condone to such behavior.

And that it's really pity because this a beautiful place to stay. +Hotel,Date of stay: July 2018,Caribbean,Dominican Republic,La Altagracia Province,unknown,We experienced racism and sexism but we came hoping to experience a tasteful good time but that never took place.,"We did not have the pleasure at staying in this Resort during the month of July 2018. I thought it was going to be nothing more than pleasantries but to my dismay I was incorrect. Once I got to the resort I was nearly manhandled for my luggage by the concier. The gentleman continuously try to grab my bags. I told him more than three times I do not want my bags taken and place to the side. If he had secured my bags I would have been okay but he wanted to take my bags and put them in a pile of other guess bags that was no more than 10 feet away from the entrance into the resort. There was no one on constant watch of the luggage that sat in that position. I don't understand to take their luggage and just place it 10 to 15 ft away from the entrance especially during the time of now when we are experiencing high volume of terrorism and thievery. If that wasn't enough I went to the bar in the lobby a mature Russian lady was waiting to get the attention of the bartender before I got there I saw her from less than 5 ft away. I was second in line as I approach the bar. The bartender was speaking to a manager at the time no one else was serving drinks at that moment a gentleman if I should call him that approach the bar and as soon as the bartender and management had finished speaking the bartender looked over the lady that was waiting there. He directed his attention pointed to the male who walked up last and asked him what was he drinking the mail gave his order at that time I spoke out and said to the bartender that this gentleman was last the lady was first the bartender ignored me and continue to serve the mail that came last. I looked over to the lady and gestured would she speak up she told me don't worry about it. Once the man was served he made a smart comment to me and I informed him such behavior is not becoming. The bartender was informed by me once again that the man came last and should have been served last but not before the lady who was standing here. The bartender seemed as though he didn't understand what I said and told me as he motioned his hand to stop he said I'll serve you last. What was the reason for that He then served the lady and the lady walked past me with her drinks and said sexism. The bartender then came over to me and said what do you want Not what would you like to drink Miss. He clearly was Not being courteous to me by saying, what do you want I figured there was a language barrier so I said to him did you understand what I was trying to say to you sir The bartender said what do you want to drink I told him I will order a drink but I'd like to know if you understood what I was expressing to you I had made mention that the man was last to come to the counter the female was first I second and the man was last but you served him first. The bartender said so you don't want anything to drink I told him are we having difficulty understanding each other He said no I understand. So once he said he understood it clearly told me he purposely was rude and sexism played apart in his decision. I was going to go to the manager and let the manager know how disrespectful this person was so that he or she could look in the camera and see exactly what took place. I'm hoping that the camera footage is still available if management decides to make contact with me. The bartender was given my order and when he made my drink it was not tasteful. Regardless of his behavior I counteracted it with kindness I even gave a tip. He never said sorry he never apologized for his despicable Behavior. I experienced racism wow at this Resort it appears if you are Puerto Rican some Dominicans are not fond of you. This experience came about while going to the discotech that this Resort publicizes as a discotech they recommend. A staff member at the bar had the audacity to speak to a patron using the word n e g r o. The person is from Puerto Rico their skin color is dark and once he opened his mouth and spoke it was clear he was not from DR. Before speaking his girlfriend ordered the this Resort is definitely not some place I would recommend drinks where she is from Dr and everything was fine once the girlfriend left the bar to go to the restroom he ordered another drink something happened between those few seconds with the bartender and the patron as a result he was insulted and removed himself from the bar without the drinks. When his girlfriend came from the bathroom he had a very small discussion with her she wanted to approach the bar tender but he pulled her and they left out of the club. I just don't understand why people can't get along. I will not return to this Resort if it were only one staff member that was rude to me I might. But being harassed by the Bellboy to take my bags and even though telling him more than once no then being insulted and disrespected by the bartender and to hear such negativity from another bartender at the Disco more than enough for me not to return. I must admit the food was not all that too wish for. I would say the best meal was the Asian meal plan they had one night. The morning breakfast was a repeat the day before using the same products not necessarily the same food but the same thing they cook that day they cooked the day after which was a repeat it wasn't very much of a change if they added one or two things it didn't really make a big of a difference. The entertainment that they offered at the pool was not exciting. The music that they played at the club or though Spanish music Bachata salsa Merengue were all welcome what happened to RB pop and alternative music. The entertainment at night at the atrium was not very entertaining either. I just would not return I suggest anyone who decides to go here because the price looks good to really read over a few of the reviews because there's no reason for patrons to give a two or one star review because they're not being paid to do so. The action must have taken place. Best of luck. I have posted pictures one includes the disrespectful bartender" +Hotel,Date of stay: April 2018,Mexico,Yucatan Peninsula,Quintana Roo,unknown,Racism,"I stayed here with my boyfriend last week with very high expectations based on the reviews. Unfortunately, we did not share the same experiences other people had.I do want to talk about the positives as well. I was very happy with the bar restaurant staff. They were so friendly and I was happy to tip them everytime they made a drink for us. I also really enjoyed the breakfast buffet. There were many things this hotel was lacking.1. The food options at this hotel are extremely limited, very unusual for an allinclusive hotel. There is a buffet, 2 asian restaurants open only for dinner, 1 mexican open only for lunch. Apparently there is a French restaurant as listed on their website, but numerous times when asked when the French restaurant will be open they responded tomorrow. This was never the case and I was informed they made french food in the buffet. 2. The room in the hotel is severely lacking. We stayed in the oceanfront suite. The were dust everywhere especially on the counter on top of our bed. The air condition also provided unbreathable air. I dont think the filters are changed regularly. We decided to turn off the air conditioning and had the balcony open most of the time when we were in the room. The fridge did not work as well. Out of the 7 days we stayed the fridge was restocked once. We had to call the front desk to restock our fridge each day. We also had to call several times to get more towels toilet paper. I experienced poor service numerous times but we did our best to enjoy our time at the Melody Maker. This all changed when I faced racism. We decided to go on various tours and only had Friday Saturday to enjoy the hotel services. Unfortunately, we were unable to find towels or an umbrella on Friday so we gave up and enjoyed our time inside the hotel. We were committed to spending the day outside on Saturday but had an outrageous experience. I was in charge of finding a seat and umbrella and my boyfriend went on a mission to find towels. I found a seat and asked 3 different staff for an umbrella and they all said they were out. I would have been okay with this but I noticed they were not out of umbrellas and a lady maybe manager telling the staff members where to distribute the umbrellas. I went to her and asked for an umbrella and she told me she was out. After I spoke with her 2 people went to her and were brought umbrellas immediately. I then saw her distributing 5 more umbrellas to guests. I then went to her again and she told me she was out of umbrellas. My boyfriend had been walking around for 30 minutes trying to find a towel. He eventually gave up and brought the towels in our hotel room we used earlier that morning. I explained the situation to my boyfriend and we concluded that maybe she was being racist towards me Asian Canadian. My boyfriend White Canadian asked me to stay where I was seating and sat alone a few seats away from me. He then asked for an umbrella and was brought an umbrella immediately. When I went to join my boyfriend the lady noticed I was getting an umbrella and gave me a really dirty look. Unfortunately, racial discrimination is an everyday reality around the world but I should not encounter racism while I am on vacation. Looking back I regret not saying anything in that moment. Maybe if I had said something I would have enjoyed the last 2 days of my vacation..." +Hotel,Date of stay: September 2018,Mexico,Yucatan Peninsula,Quintana Roo,unknown,Racism and derogatory slanders,"BEWARE. Although we encountered many disappointments during this bachelorette trip with this resort, the most offensive came at the very end of our trip. We were unfortunate victims of racism because we are African American. We were called Negras by the bartender in the main lobby bar, which we ignored at the time.... but then when we tried to get wine for our last night in the room with the bridetobe and went to the front desk to ask about burning a bottle for the room, we were completely ignored by the front desk receptionist, Isabella. Isabella never looked up from her desk, compl text ignored us, and was blatantly racist towards our group. At this point we asked for a manager and Alexis came out to assist. Alexis was helpful and we decided to report the deragotaory term used by his bartender with us that evening as we wanted him to know exactly what was going on at his hotel. As our friend explained to him what happened, Isabella began to laugh when we said that we were called negras, she laughed. She laughed at a deraogratory term used to refer to her guests at her resort. It was the ultimate slap in the face. We all were flabbergasted by her laughing and asked Alexis why she would laugh at something like that. We asked Isabella her last name and she pointed defiantly towards her name tag and said her name to us. We asked her why she would laugh at something so horrific that happened to guests at her hotel. Alexis then told her in Spanish to go into the back and she walked away. This was the most offensive, inappropriate, hateful treatment I have ever received at a resort. Further, this treatment is illegal and unlawful. We have booked 6 rooms and 12 people are here attending the bachelorette party. Alexis has told us that a report will be filed and it will be investigated. Once thats done I am more than happy to update this review. This is such an unfortunate experience. But my hope is that no one else would have to experience this kind of racism because of this warning." +Hotel,Date of stay: October 2012,Africa,South Africa,Northern Cape,unknown,Terrible service with racism,"I had made bookings for a two night stay and ended up being only one due to the terrible service and racism. On thursday I was called to confirm if I was still coming per my bookings which I did together with the time of arrival. Upon arrival on the friday the rooms weren't cleaned yet and was made to wait for more than 2 hrs. I was on my periods and by mistake messed on their bedding first night. Was fined 800 the following day and chucked out of the hotel for that. Even the cleaners confirmed that such accidents always happen but chasing us away was something else. The ladywhite manager was very rude and could see herself that her grounds for chasing us out were very weak and full of racism. We claimed the bedding we had been charged for and it was already washed with no stains to show that they are used to this. Because we went to a wedding at kuruman we left the hotel after day 1 to another hotel but was totally inconvenienced and offended by the treatment. I wouldn't advice anyone to go to that hotel as the same thing can happen to you. She even threatened to call the police, I was really waiting for her to do that because the table were going to turn to her due to her discrimination. I haven have proof of what they have done to us. If they have cameras I'm sure they'll also show how rude they were to us." +Hotel,Date of stay: March 2019,Canada,Ontario,Quinte West,unknown,Similar experience to most other customers but with a side of racism thrown in,"Stayed to attend a funeral in town. Paid 58 more for a room than other family members in the same style that contained clear evidece of mold reglued/peeling wallpaper in washroom with black/white/brown fuzz behind it.Continental was terrible and worker lied to others dining there, then joked with other guest that she did this because they were black.All other staff were pleaseant enough, and pool was enjoyable. " +Hotel,Date of stay: November 2018,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,"Los Angeles, California",HORRIFIC RACISM!!,"What was a lovely stay turned heartbreaking when I witnessed the horrific racism that staff displayed toward an elderly and disabled black woman who was waiting quietly in a corner for her son to pick her up. Unable to carry her bags herself, she asked if she could wait in the common room for her son to pick her up. Horrifically, the three white members of staff verbally abused and tried to diminish her for a full hour in front of guests until her son arrived, all over an apparent breach of the hostel's terms and conditions, which they later confirmed didn't even exist. Such an ugly display of hate by young men and women who should know better. This came a day after they kicked a black man out of his room so a young white woman could have his bed. I am appalled at how awfully this was all handled, especially when the manager did not even care what happened to the poor elderly lady.

Granted, I was with 16 other Taiwanese people in an architecture tourist group, so certain amount of uncomfortable glances and rudeness was expected anywhere we go as we werent accustomed to their culture and ethics. At this point, if you still havent get where Im trying to get to in this delicate matter, then I will blatantly say that we are RACIALLY DISCRIMINATED. Personally, Ive travelled well enough all over the globe and to some, studied to recognize racism when I see one. First off, I think one or two people in my group decided to change rooms after the rooms didnt meet their standards general speaking, hygienic matter. The concierge reacted rude as they rolled her eyes and spoke god knows what in French. Secondly, when my friends and I went down to the lobby bar for a drink that night, we had to wait 45 mins until the bartender actually showed any interest in taking our orders. After taking the orders with a unbelievable attitude, as me and my friends were playing cards, the concierge earlier and the waiter argued in French, clearly about us but not directly. They specifically were arguing with each other and pointing at us and shouting les Chinois, in which, even if they didnt, anybody couldve tell by the body language they were displaying. Waiter later had no interest in taking our money, overall, it was just despicable. What came after was the worst. In the morning we were yelled and pointed into another private room even though the dining room only had a family eating there. At this point, I thought to myself that it was understandable since we have such a big group. HOWEVER, WHILE WE WERE EATING, WE DISCOVERED THAT THE HAM IN THE BREAKFAST BUFFET WAS ROTTEN. THEY HAD MOLD AND DISCOLORATION, ON PURPOSE OR NOT, THIS HAS CROSSED THE LINE AND WHEN ONE OF OUR MORE FLUENT FRENCH SPEAKER CONFRONTED THEM, THEY SHRUGGED AND SAID, WHAT ELSE DO YOU EXPECT. Even though, the manager did come after waiting for another half an hour, she showed no remorse and spoke in a condescending tone. Now, I think in all perspective, I would have been less angry if the 4 starred Mercure didnt advocate their great professional service and their international known fame. It was disheartening and disappointing.

I asked the reception ""In this weather will you walk with your child and old people walk to another hotel this in a unknown city"" she said its common in France. ""Seriously"".I said why didn't you arrange atleast arrange taxi, because we are with senior and a child. where is the Manager, ""He is Busy"" A family with infant and senior, you cancelled the booking and Manager couldnt even appologies I said, I will share my review in websites.. ""Wi Sipuble""So we walk in Cold raining and windy condition. But it turned out quite far when there is a infant, and 3 seniors. We reached 2nd hotel.

She said our breakfast is free in Hotel le Clocher de Rodez, but then we have to go back to that hotel for Breakfast. We asked why cant u put us in a better hotel. She said you can save money with smaller hotel. You will get the balance of the money. This is where I felt clear racism since I come from Asia. I am sure if I was a European or of American Origin, they would think twice before cancel my booking, or even thinking of making me walk in such bad weather. Racism still exist in France.

Rooms are outdatedfurniture still from the fifties and are rather stuffy. This goes for the whole place... There's WiFi but it's slow and only works in certain areas. There is a breakfast but which reflects the miserliness of the hostel, don't expect too much.

Last, it's far from the city centre.Whenever in Nice, and this has been a couple of times the last fifteen years I go to this hostel but this is the last time. I had a heated discussion with one of the cleaning ladies about her poking around in my stuff. She was very rude and just downright impossible, and the other staff pretty much followed. I was dumbfounded and I think in the end that racism was at play. They must have taken me for a Russian or Pole the French don't like those people very much.

Everything was impeccable and the amenities were wonderful.My only qualms were that sometimes service was odd but other times, WONDERFUL. In particular, I had a situation where I was getting my luggage back and the hotel employee decided to ask ""if i was from asia"" and then gestured toward the eye area. While I understand that this was probably meant to be friendly, it is 2019 and that sort of behavior isn't acceptable to me as a guest of the hotel. The fact that one of the biggest topics of conversation on his mind was my race, and then to make that gesture just left a bad taste in my mouth, and I got no apology for it either. The other incident was that waitress at one of the restaurants was WAY too pushy about getting me to sign up for a OneHarmony hotel memberhsip account I kept saying no around 45 times when I was in a hurry to pay my bill until the point where I felt like she must get commission or something for it.

Because, I have nothing bad to say about the hotel per se, as for rooms, cleanliness etc. I mean, this is a newly built hotel, located really pretty by the guest harbour, and it had fresh, clean rooms with comfortable beds. We stayed at the 4th floor and weren't bothered by noisy drunk locals, and were pretty satisfied roomwise....But here's what bugs me: I have never been as ignored from bartenders as I was at The Bishops Arms the hotel's pub/restaurant, and I have never suspected it to be because of my origins until now! I don't carry Swedish features, but I am brought up in rnskldsvik, although I haven't lived there for many, many years now.

Then, the new arrived guest waits, and waits, and waits. The three ! bartenders glancing at the new guest, but keep on ignoring. The other guest get their drinks, walks away, but the first one still waits. New guests arrive, get served before the first guest... And so on. Then, finally, I said to my boyfriend, ""let's split up and see what happens"" and, what do you know, five seconds later the bartenders came over and he could make an order!Next morning, at breakfast, I saw one of the bartenders were working as a breakfast host. And, when I asked him if they had any lactose free milk, he didn't look at me, didn't utter a word, just pointed at a spot where the milk carton was and walked away.So, if I had only the hotel rooms to review, I would say ""Great!

One of his colleagues then said, because I look Chinese and the floor manager still refused me at the table.Then I asked him: You are refusing me play here because I look Chinese, so this is racism and discriminationYour socalled manager couldnt properly deny my accusation.In short: I'm not being refused on grounds of being aggressive, disrespectful, rude or disturbing to anybody I'm being refused only based on my looks, not my nationality.

I got the recommendation from a friend to be certified at Blue Ocean Dive Resort. Nicki was so friendly and responsive over email that I became even more excited about my trip.With all of the great reviews and recommendations, you can imagine how surprised I was when management was blatantly unprofessional and disrespectful towards the staff. Being American and having traveled around southern Africa I am well aware of the racial tension but this was the first tourist spot that made no effort to even hide it. I am not sure weather they are not concerned with attracting international/forward thinking travelers the place is BURSTING with regulars decked out in Blue Ocean Dive sweat shirts or it is just a result of no one calling them on it, but I was very uncomfortable on multiple occasions. Race aside, there should be no reason why costumers hear you screaming at your staff because there is no food and another boat is coming in! or how absolutely ridiculous it is that breakfast is not out yet or any of the other frustrations that should be kept behind closed doors multiple times. Even after I told my dive instructor that it was fine and I was happy with toast he responded that that was not the point and remained agitated, giving the start of our lesson bad energy. This experience was later followed by a rant from said instructor prefaced by Not to be racist in anyway! about how apartheid was good. I was willing to let all of this slide so to speak until I was sitting at the bar at the same time many of the black staff were and the owner came over and jokingly asked Is this an illegal gathering All of these blacks sitting here. Back in the day you all wouldve been arrested. It made me sick to my stomach to listen to the staff laugh reluctantly. Management was so kind to me that I began to feel I was getting my first taste of the phony treatment money can buy you. It is unfortunate because the younger guys, dive masters, skippers, kitchen staff and the actual diving are cool; but in this case a few rotten apples does spoil the barrel. If you are not okay with racist remarks and public displays of stress and frustration I would HIGHLY recommend you check into one of the other dive centers in the area. If racism and unprofessionalism do not bother you, then perhaps the absence of curtains thankfully had a large blanket in my luggage to cover my window forever flushing toilet, dampness from the half walled in bathroom or the unfilled promise of cheesecake will.

As I was traveling, I couldn't hear the lady on the phone and mistook Manilal a Sinhala name for Mariyadas a Tamil name, so I spoke to him in Tamil assuming he was a local. But when I said ""Vanakkam"" greeting in Tamil, the Manager shouted ""Speak in Sinhala! This is Sri Lanka! Speak in Sinhala or English, I don't know Tamil!"".It was rather unfortunate that we were on a field trip to the North and East and the Palmyrah House was our first stop. The visitors remarked at the rather evident racism.I couldn't bear to speak to the Manager when we arrived, though he was bent over double and almost servile when greeting the international visitors.I was too upset to bring up the matter, and he also didn't apologize.I later heard him berating the two Tamil speaking boys who brought our bags up, in English. Which was rather ironic.They seemed to pick up on my discomfort and asked if I had called earlier.Given the rash of military owned and run hotels and resorts in the North and East, it would be interesting to know the story of Palmyrah House and it's supposedly ""Sri Lankan"" Manager who not only doesn't seem to know one of the local languages of his country, but also is rude to anyone else who speaks it.Rather an unpleasant stay." +Hotel,Date of stay: December 2015,Africa,South Africa,Limpopo Province,"Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa","Tranquility in pristine bushveld or, alternatively, ""Henry R, what on earth are you on about""","What a wonderfully relaxing and enriching experience!The management team of Johan and Jen were welcoming, friendly and helpful.

Despite this, Johan informed me that it is generally necessary to augment feed for about three months of the year. I'm writing this sitting on the veranda outside our chalet watching half a dozen blue wildebeest, a dozen or so zebra, a small herd of impala and a sounder of warthog all with their young grazing less that 200m from where I'm sitting.

However, even when there is not much game to see, the differing vegetation in different areas of this small area is amazing and there is abundant bird life. Johan might not be the most chatty of of guides, but regularly pointed out interesting things on the drive, including stopping to pick ""stamvrug"" wild milk plums for those of us who hadn't tasted them before to sample, picking fronds of Boekenhoudboom wild beech tree seeds for those who wished to attempt to germinate them at home, venturing off road to get us closer to the eland and zebra herds and accompanying us all to view and discuss a pelvis and spine with attached skin spotted next to the road in the absence of a skull, he eventually concluded that it was the remains of a particularly large brown hyena. He was clearly very knowledgeable and quite willing to answer questions in detail, being fluent in both English and Afrikaans one of our party is a Brit. Monique717, I can fully understand your disappointment at your picnic being washed out, but on our arrival Jen very clearly explained to us that picnics are only available during off peak times when the lodge is quiet enough to enable them to arrange them almost lucky you we wanted to arrange a picnic too, but couldn't due to the lodge being fully booked, and that game drives were undertaken three times a day on a strictly firstcome, firstserved basis. I further understand that he people you saw going on a game drive after you were informed that no further game drives were going to take place that day was in fact the owner of the game reserve. Whilst I can fully understand your disappointment, I guess the owner is entitled to go on a game drive whenever he wishes toFrom what I could see, the walking trails on the reserve are clearly marked and vary from easy 2 or 4 km rambles, to hikes up into the ridges for the more adventurous we were advised against trying these due to a couple of very active leopard in the vicinity Jen explained to us that they very definitely prefer not to lose guests to the leopards : . Being somewhat lazy, we stuck to the easier rambles, which we thoroughly enjoyed because no hunting is allowed on the reserve, the animals are very relaxed and do not startle easily, allowing one to approach to within 50 100m before they move off. I was somewhat intrigued by Henry R's vitriolic criticism, given that this flew directly in the face of our experience and therefore decided to explore some of his criticisms. The chalet next to the septic tank he complained about did not smell at all of sewage and the group staying in the chalet confirmed that they have previously booked the chalet and have never experienced this to be a problem. On enquiry, Johan confirmed that the sewage line from the chalet to the septic tank did block whilst Henry R and his group were staying there, entirely due to the group flushing sanitary pads, tampons and condoms down the toilet, in direct contravention of the standard request in the bathroom not to do so.As far as the complaint related to having to pay extra for extra guests staying in a chalet specifically designated to sleep a specific number of guests is concerned ... really REALLY Tell me Henry R, do German lodges I understand that you are German, allow guests to stuff as many extra guests as they want to into their chalets that are advertised to sleep two only, without extra chargeThen onto the complaints of racism. There happened to be two separate black families staying at the game reserve at the time we were there. Both families were visibly surprised when I described Henry R's accusations of racism against management to them. One of guys I spoke to spontaneously responded ""there must be something wrong with that guy!"". On enquiry, I was informed that the unpleasantness appeared to have started after one of Henry R's party, who happened not to be white, seriously damaged the hoisting mechanism of the rather expensive umbrellas at the swimming pool, apparently due to not understanding how the mechanism worked. Reportedly when Henry R, as the head of the group, was requested to please ensure that his party did not do any more damage, but rather request assistance, he took serious umbrage and publicly and vociferously accused Johan of racism. Justified The black families I spoke to did not appear to think so. Some people, it appears, are just impossible to please!In conclusion, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, find little or no merit in the complaints posted and would happily recommend Olievenfontein as an amazing venue for those seeking peace and quiet!" +Hotel,Date of stay: December 2014,Africa,South Africa,Limpopo Province,"Hamburg, Germany","Basic accommodation, excessive price. Bad service and racism included.","We went here with a group of 10 adults and stayed in different cottages. We did not enjoy our stay at all for the following reasons: Eventough the hole complex is very nice and we'll looked after, the cottages themselves are only on a very basic level: No airconditioning only big fans, which are very noisy, tiny rooms, small TV. Apart from that, no bar or shop facility is provided. Moreover, one cottage was placed directly near to the septic tank the smell was very unpleasant. This would have been alright if not the pricing would not be so unfair and in our case just excessive. As I said, we stayed in different cottages: Although we were told that every client hat to pay the same amount, for the people of our group it differed between 1100 Rand and 650 Rand per person and night. Although the cottage of the other groupmembers was much nicer, we had to pay most. Furthermore, we booked the hole cottage on Booking.com and then we're forced to pay 50 more for a third person. This is just ridiculous; we felt ripped off. At the end, we payed 13.200 Rand for 3 person for 4 nights in a basic selfcatering cottage this was the maximum we had to pay in 2 weeks travel through Southafrica and we stay only in very upmarket and luxurious places. When we complained about this, we got a very harsh answer from the management. We ordered breakfast for the first day. Again, very expensive and just bad. When we asked for a fried egg, we were told in an inappropriate way that we had to accept what was offered and our wishes would not be heard. Some members of our groups were black. Twice, the manager made racist comments an absolute nogo. They did not feel welcome. The game reserve does not have too many animals. Therefore, the ""game""drive was quite boring. Also, the manager seemed not motivated and made no comments at all on the drive. While the black travelgroup members were told, that it was a quiet place and they had to calm down, no such comment was made to a big group with several wild kids chilling at the pool therefore got embarrassing." +Hotel,Date of stay: March 2018,South Pacific,Australia,Western Australia,"Melbourne, Australia",The elder lady behind the desk is a typically racism,"At the first day we arrived there, its a young lady who helped us check in with patient.

The fresh fruit juices blended with mint are heavenly, all servings are generous and really cheap! Note though that they only allow people who are staying at the hotel to enjoy the restaurant, so you can't share these treats with friends who may be staying elsewhere.The woman who offers tourism advice in the foyer is lovely, there is a swimming pool and although the rooms are basic they are clean and have a balcony and it all comes at a very low price tag. All these things are great. Me and my friend were however treated with arrogance and INCREDIBLE rudeness, in its worst form, by the man in the reception who is there every day, from the moment we arrived at the hotel until we left. He made us feel really small and VERY unwelcome! I wish we had reacted with anger and that we had just left the place but we were so stunned at the way he treated us and questioned us and were also too tired to start looking for another place. We were also asked if we were staying there, EVERY time we had food in the restaurant. We were the only ones they asked and were the only ones with more exotic looks. I am Swedish Half Indonesian/Half Swedish and my friend is French born in Madagascar and we are short and brown. We are nice and friendly and dress ""properly"" and really didn't do anything to warrant the reception man's behavior towards us. The girls in the restaurant were just doing what they have been asked to do but it was actually still really hurtful. You don't want to be faced with racism on your holiday.

We have lived at many different hotels/hostels during these three months and have barely had a problem. Unfortunately this changed yesterday.So, we left some clothes for laundry at the reception of the hotel and when we got it back I noticed that my tshirt was completely discolored and the colour had loosened from it. I was, naturally, very sad so I went back to the reception in hope that something could be done to compensate me. I never thought I was going to get a full refund, but at least something since it was an expensive tshirt from Italy some might say it's stupid to bring such a shirt on this kind of travel, but how could I possibly predict that something like this would happen. Since I have been working with service myself I'm well aware that sometimes you have to deal with overly rude customers/guests. So I started the conversation politly and simply asked for help but I was met by an aggressive receptionist who was really rude. He was telling me that I was lying to get money and that I was wrong !!. He told me that it looked exactly like it did when I left it there, something he wouldn't know since I left it to a girl in the reception and not him. Also, they don't do the laundry theirselves. They leave it to another laundry service somewhere close to the hotel.But this isn't the worst part, the receptionist was openly racist towards me. He said things like ""you're a foreigner, not a local, you come and make trouble"" and now i'm qouting ""Don't come to vietnam. He accused me of lying so I could ""steal"" money from them!!I was left speachless, I had started the conversation nice and gentle and made it clear I didn't want to fight over a tshirt but obviously, something had to be done.I was met with open racism and accusations of lying. Even threatening me to call the police if I wouldn't get back to my room.I understand that sometimes tourist behave bad when they're out traveling, but that does not justify such a behaviour from the staff. I'm always nice since I know how frustrating it can be to stand on the other side of the story.I have sent an email to the hotel hoping that it will reach the person in charge so it wont happen anyone again." +Hotel,Date of stay: May 2015,Middle East,Jordan,Madaba Governorate,France,Uncomprehensible reaction : cultural misunderstanding or racism ,"I tried to stay at the Black Iris Hotel for my last day in Jordan after a 6day trip. We needed two rooms : one for my friend and me, and one for our local guide from Petra.At the beginning, a woman took care of us at the lobby, saying that two rooms were available. Then, the manager arrived while we were paying, but suddenly told us that there was only one room left for the two tourists, but that the guide had to go somewhere else !! ""No room for Arabs"" he said !!! We just had the exact same experience with the Mosaic Hotel a few minutes ago !!This was an unacceptable experience !! We had to try a third hotel, and again, our guide wasn't accepted ! I don't know if this way of managing a hotel is typical of Madaba, but to me, it was really a bitter experience.

The staff were rude and unhelpful, the manager was not just actively unhelpful but deliberately rude and racist against several of our party. The accommodation was poor and overcharged. Our whole experience was not just poor but actively dreadful. Additionally, there was open racism against black people and Japanese. One of our party was from Kenya and was called an animal by the staff, whilst another Japanese friend was almost attacked by the manager and was told that while the whites would be welcome, Japanese and Africans were not. All in all, this is a nasty place run by actively racist people and we would strongly recommend it is avoided. After one day we found a nice place in Ciqikou and moved out.

I did not expect to find it in Colombia and frankly was shocked to find it in spades at this hotel. The night manager was about as openly racist as anyone I have met in my life. As a white American visiting with a dark skinned friend, I feel a need to stand up for him and anyone else who is subject to such hideous behavior. It was downright insulting. As a result I, in good faith, could never recommend this place to anyone. I also felt like it was a bit of a tourist trap. Yes, the room is fine. The beds are fine. Breakfast was decent but it's very over priced for what you get. You pay for the location, but there are many other wonderful areas to visit in Medellin. And for a hotel that caters to tourists, particularly Americans many of the guests were Americans, they don't have even one person on staff who speaks any English. I speak Spanish so it isn't a problem for me, but for my friend, it was disconcerting. My personal advice Keep on moving. You can find a million places better than this one." +Hotel,Date of stay: October 2016,Asia,India,Rajasthan,unknown,Terrible experience in Harasar Haveli in Bikaner: Felt harassed and racism,"I'm going through a trip in Rajasthan, where everywhere I'm greeted by a smile. I believed that is the hospitality of Rajasthan, before I came to Harasar Haveli. Here in greeted by a shout and threat. There's a young staff named Saroj, who thinks he has the right to shout at and threat guests. Reason: I had booked a deluxe room 4 months back; but since I came from Jaisalmer, I came in the evening and I was given the most horrible room, at the back of ground floor. And I had requested to change the room. But, according to them, they are fully booked. So the staff shouted at me and threatened me. The room was so bad and poorly ventilated, that it looks like a cave even in broad daylight. One side windows open to the dining room, which definitely can never be opened. We still agreed to stay in the room. But, as soon as I entered the toilet, I saw strands of hair lying on the floor. The bath place was extremely dirty. I again went to the reception and requested them to change the room, but to deaf ears. They were so busy then chatting with foreigners. This is a place in India, where foreigners are given A class treatment and Indians receive horrible treatment. One staff came to check my toilet, picked up the hair and left. We stayed in the room for the next 45 mins, but no one came to clean the toilet.This place is the perfect example, where a wonderful building can be made a horrible experience just by rudeness and racist behaviour of the staff. I feel sorry for the owners. And warn all my fellow Indians to stay away from this place.Never believed Rajasthan hospitality can be this bad, before I experienced it myself." +Hotel,Date of stay: July 2013,Asia,India,Rajasthan,"New Delhi, India",Don't go here if you are an Indian,"I stayed with them for 2 nights and 3 days in July 2013. I liked the hotel because it was clean and beautiful. But the good things end here. The hotel staff is RUDE. They cater ONLY to foreigners so if you are an Indian get ready to taste racism in your very own country. Not only this, the staff accuses you of lying even when it is their fault. I do not think they know how to run a hotel.The last night, we had a train to catch. When we went for dinner, we asked the waiter how long will it take. He said 1015 minutes. We also requested him that we have a train to catch and if he can hurry this up. We waited for 35 minutes and there was no food so we decided to cancel the order and go to the train station. We informed the night manager and instead of rebuking his own staff he started shouting at us the guests!!. Had to threaten him that I am from the press to get him to shut up. NIGHTMARE!!I must admit though that the owner and his wife were rather courteous and they do not know of this incident where the staff was so rude to my colleague and me. But all the same. Go here only if you are a foreigner, otherwise risk it." +Hotel,Date of stay: March 2018,Asia,India,Rajasthan,Germany,racism and discrimination of the lowest kind,"My Indian friend and I stopped at the Discovery Guesthouse where I stayed last year for 9 nights on my own and felt welcome.The guesthouse owners son recognised me straight away, we had a welcome chat where we said wed like to stay 2 nights. He said the first night he only had a small room available, we should stay there the first night and tell him the next day what wed like to pay for it and if its too small we would be able to change the next day. So all seemed well, except the room was tiny and featured cigarette butts from the last guest. The next morning I went to see him to sort the price and fix the next night as well. When I saw the son the next morning his attitude towards me had changed. When I asked what he wanted for the small room he said 700 rupee, a ridiculous rippoff I paid 600 rupee for a much better room last year!I asked my friend to join the discussion, he came and the guesthouse owner father also turned up, in dark mood. What followed was racism and discrimination of the lowest kind. Amongst other things he told my friend that if he would be seen with me in public the police would arrest him. This incident truly shocked me. It was disgraceful, disrespectful, threatening discrimination by the guesthouse owner. We had done nothing wrong, we were respectful, quiet, clean, paying guests. It was simply my friends Indian origin that seemed to get up this guesthouse owners nose and he let us know that he was displeased by seeing a western woman befriended with an Indian man. A hotel owner should be able to leave discrimination aside. He should be able to keep his own moral convictions to himself and not openly attack his guests with verbal aggressiveness.

My partner experienced it himself when he went to bring drinks to the beach where we were having a meeting and was told he couldn't bring them, and after some back and forth was allowed to, after the worker said, ""Oh, I thought you were Filipino"". He was also told he wasn't allowed on the beach after 6pm when everyone else is allowed there. This was told to him when he wanted to bring some glasses onto the beach. My employees received similar treatment, being told they could not do things that I was doing, such as moving some chairs so we could sit together as a group. One employee went to the spa and was ignored by the attendant. The second time she went in, it was at the same time as a group of Korean women, and then she was handed a towel. There were several incidents like this.In addition, I should note that one of my employees tripped and sprained her ankle when walking down to the beach. She went to the onsite clinic and was told to take an antiinflammatory. She is a trained nurse, and she knows that it wasn't handled properly. I had to go back to the clinic with her to get them to wrap a tensor bandage on her.

However, the brand new Hotel, with an international brand like the Marriot, sure sounded initially the next Number 1, especially with the low prices, which are in place to beat the competition.But, it turned out 8 days of hell, I prefer the slightly older Transamerica, where it might not be so beautiful and new, however, they know how to run a hotel smoothly.The one with the booming mega phone:My first room change was when I realized that one side of the Hotel is faced towards the main street of Avenida Engenheiro Domingos Ferreira. During the work hours there is constant loud noise from a mega phone that is set on automatic, constantly hammering sales messages, it keeps on repeating itself again and again for hours on end, day in day out, enough to drive you totally crazy!The day of floods:The second room change occurred when the hotel was seriously affected by the heavy rains, the hotels restaurant and ground floor became waterlogged, the gym was closed and the rooms on the 9th floor, where I happened to be have all become waterlogged, due to the rains. Obviously, something is seriously wrong, when it rains inside the 9th floor of your 45 star hotel room, see pics. Taking into account that this is a new building, its not hard to guess that there are some serious structural problems, that they have to cope with.The day of heat:Recife, not only had heavy rains, it had some seriously stifling hot weather too and the air conditioning system was suddenly out of service for an entire day. The room temperatures reached a colossal 35 degrees, slightly hard to do anything in such heat. After some begging I got a fan from Cris front desk, who tried against all odds to be as helpful as possible, she also offered compensation, free breakfast, which was nice. The fan alleviated the situation somewhat, but eventually, I actually had to leave the hotel for a few hours and come back at night. There were more air conditioning problems throughout our stay, the thermostats often didnt seem to work in the lobby and restaurant areas, where it got really cold to a degree where everyone was shivering. In the room too, the only way the thermostat actually worked was if you put the air con on auto mode, but if you set the temperature at low or high it will go below the temperature you set. I often set it at 24, but it went down to 19, unless I set the fan at auto. The hotel staff explained to me, that this is how it works, and only in this manner.The cold showers day:One day we woke up to a no hot water day, after many hours of maintenance work, we were advised that the hot water has finally returned. I was excited for just about one minute, as a shower in the simmering hot Recife, would have been pretty nice, but no, the water coming out of the taps looked like piss water, totally yellow, see pics. We were assured that the yellow waters, that look like its coming from a nuclear reactor, will disappear after a while, however, we actually wanted to disappear even faster than the off putting water color.The forgetful cook:Caio, is the nice guy who prepares omelettes on the spot at breakfast time, actually, it would have been a great service if we were not to take into account that he actually forgot to make my order twice. On two separate occasions he simply took an order and just totally forgot to prepare it. Maybe someone with a better memory, would be more suited for the job, not to mention his general demeanour which was all a bit haphazardly. You never knew if he understood you or not, mumbling under his breath some intangible words, which often left you more baffled than before he opened his mouth.The restaurant actually serves good food and is a fab facility and is quite a good substitute to the room service/mini bar, which they dont have. However, you have to eat there under freezing conditions, due to the air condition thermostat failing, and the wait time for food to arrive is terribly long, but the food is good, especially if you have an hour or two to killLousy Housekeeping:Rooms dont get cleaned automatically, we had to constantly bug them to come and clean the room, change towels, etc, as if it was some favour they do, nothing seemed to run smoothly in this place.Bad maintenance:Lights in the lifts were broken for a few days, all but one single bulb which was working. What hotel leaves all their lifts with one small light, as if you are in a lift to a prison cell, for god sake, who runs this place, how simple is it to change a blooming light bulbOn top of that the lifts are badly designed, you have to call each lift separately and there is no centralized system which coordinates all the lifts. Here some clever designer, made it in a way that you have to decide which lift is best for you and call it, or press on each lift separately to call them all and see which is the quickest, totally and utterly ridicules. On top of that the lifts to the car park, really look like they have never been prepared for proper public use, see pic. It is unbelievable that a hotel of this calibre have these kind of lifts to their car park. Yeah, they have some excuse, that the car park even though part and parcel of the hotel building is run by an external firm, however, that is a weak and unacceptable excuse!!Bad Management:I had two bookings, one for a the first few days and then for more days, they closed my first booking, took the liberty and charged my credit card without even giving me a breakdown of charges or telling me for that matter, only after I asked for it, they said, ohh it was taken off your card. How nice, which hotel charges your credit card without giving you before a breakdown of charges, thats kinda basic, I would have thought.Racism in the Marriot:I came in with my girlfriend one evening and we were basically verbally attacked by the reception desk girl Kylyandra. She kinda yelled across rudely to us, as we were walking past, trying to find out, if my girlfriend is registered, showing that she is suspicious that I am bringing in a hooker into the hotel. This is after staying in the hotel with my girlfriend for an entire week, I initially arrived with her to the hotel when I first arrived and her name was registered on the booking from the first minute. I responded, well, check on your system and you will see shes registered and we walked right on to the lift. When we arrived to the lift, we were surprised to see that she chased us all the way down the corridor and demanded yet again to know, if shes registered. At this point, I got really angry with her, and I reminded her, that less than 60 seconds ago, when we walked past the reception desk she demanded the same information, yet what the hell is she doing chasing us to the lifts, with the exact same question. I said to her, you dont believe my previous answer, I think, I told you loud and clear, she is registered, go check on your system. I tried to understand what was not clear in my previous answer, I asked her to explain to me, what was not understood in my previous response, she had absolutely nothing to say for herself, no explanation or an apology and just went back to her place without uttering a single word.However, instead of receiving an apology, which would be kind of minimal, 5 minutes later we got a hotel staff member knocking on our door, together with none less than an armed security guard. I must stress, I have been travelling for nearly 3 years in Brazil, sleeping most nights in various hotels, never ever in my entire life has a security guard knocked on my door in a hotel room. They were demanding that we changed rooms still this same evening, since the day before the water was raining in to the room, due bad infrastructure of the hotel see above. Whilst it had dried up already and after a long day and evening out, we wanted just to go to sleep and see to it in the morning as there was nothing pressing at this moment in the evening, we didnt fancy packing up all our stuff so late in the evening. However, they insisted that we move rooms there and then. That was ordered by Kylyandra who was not too happy with my rightfully angry respond to her suspicions that my girlfriend is none other than a working girl.I walked in to this same hotel with a friend of mine, a white girl a good few times during my stay and she was not registered with the hotel and not a single word was ever uttered, no questions asked whatsoever. However, since my girlfriend is not white, the whole demeanour and attitude was as if shes some working girl, who needs to prove who she is before she can enter, whilst she was actually registered from day one. Clear and open racism which is not uncommon in Brazil, especially in these types of establishments, however I do except an international brand to have clear cut guidelines of who has the right to questions the identification of people who enter the hotel, and most importantly, guidelines as to when to be questioning peoples identities that apply to all and does not depend on the whim of some racist receptionist with a bias towards none whites." +Hotel,Date of stay: February 2014,Asia,India,Goa,"Zurich, Switzerland",Racism and lies,"For ten years we have been staying 6 weeks in winter in Goa/ Palolem. Last year we invited two Indian! friends to Goa. We went to ""Sevas"" to book a bungalow for them. We were shown a quite nice, clean bungalow near the reception. We booked it for two nights and paid it in advance. When we arrived with our friends, the manager seemed to be unpleased because he obviously doesn't want Indian people in his resort. He put the two guys in a shabby hut in the farthest, darkest corner of the resort, just beside a building site with awful building noise during the whole day, pretending there were no other rooms free which was a lie, although we had already paid for a much nicer room. We felt betrayed, ashamed and were shocked about this racism.The Sevas calls itself an ""eccofriendly habitat"" ,which is completely ridiculous. They throw all their rubbish plastic bags, bottles, rotten vegetables and so on just behind their bungalows a huge stinking landfill which attracts vermin, even though there exists the possibility to have the garbage transported and disposed of against a fee of course. Somtimes they burn it. Can you imagine how burning plastic stinks For days on end toxic clouds of smoke pollute the air of the surrounding resorts with their foul smell. The "" eccofriendly"" label is just a marketing trick and has nothing to do with reality.Don't waste your money at this unsympathetic place.

They also did feel the need to tell me that the other guest staying there was ""African but we know him very well,"" so the racism allegations seem justified. But he the other guest seemed very happy regardless. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in Mthatha but this was slightly outside my budget at R700 a night so probably won't stay there again.

The Villas were absolutely amazing and i was always comfortable. The facilities were neat and tidy. i Was a bit shocked that you had to pay to use the Jacuzzi bubbles, but hey, i guess money making can be done anywhere using anything. one thing that was a bit uneasy is the presence of racism. The atmosphere of judgmental attitudes and rudeness was certainly felt through our stay over the weekend. But myself being a bornfree it didn't really get to me, i enjoyed myself in the light of peoples racist view on life.

I have booked 3 rooms for 3 nights inclusive of breakfast and dinner. food is excellent. service is good. Ms. Flavia Mr Imati were too good. Overall had a great time but I had faced one issue which has spoiled mood of us all. I was a victim of racism in my own country, hotel provides free shuttle to baga beach and i was standing in queue and where as foreigner were given first preference even though they were behind me, I have never expected such kind of behavior in my own country.

I mean, do I sleep in a different style My advice is simple avoid this hotel!As I recall from previous spring 2016 stay is the hotel beaten up, breakfast very poor which is included and a noisy hotel.

In short, I found the food to be delicious, and the staff to be lovely. But I felt the lodge had an owner that was unpleasant at best and the lodge to have an uncomfortable feeling of racism. Some of the other guests we spoke with felt it, too. Our guide was seated separately from us, despite our asking multiple times if he could be seated with us. Once, we were told he had left, though we found out later he was there, but they had put him in the back room where the staff and guides eat. At dinner, he was seated with the other guides and staff at a table to the side, even though we had specifically asked to be seated with him. He told us that the same thing has happened to him at that hotel before.The room also had no phone, and the front desk shut down at some point during the night. We narrowly avoided a disaster when we arrived back late and no one was at the front desk, though they had our key locked inside. Luckily, we were able to track down someone in the kitchen cleaning up, but I'm not sure what we would have done otherwise.I would not stay here again, nor would I recommend it. Which is unfortunate, because the staff is really lovely, and the grounds are quite nice though, as pointed out by another review, not particularly close to the crater." +Hotel,Date of stay: March 2019,Caribbean,Dominican Republic,La Altagracia Province,unknown,racism experienced,"Last night only half way through our trip my partner and I were looking forwards to a nice dinner at the Japanese restaurant. Unfortunately just minutes after sitting down my partner was degraded, embarrassed and humiliated by a member of staffs racist gesture. This gentleman in a joking fashion asked if I spoke Japanese, I replied no. He then proceeded to ask my partner. When she also replied no the gentleman pressed the issue further by approaching her repeating his question only this time using his hands to squint horizontally both his eyes. My partner is not Japanese but is from an Asian country. Needless to say we left and I spent the rest of the night consoling my extremely distraught partner. I feel I should have done more at the time but unfortunately I didn't.

Two staff members Robbie and James were rude right from the first moment that they saw us without any interaction prior to that. The food we got was wrong and late on several occasions and we kept being asked if we were 'still' going to continue staying there.The only logical reason we could think of was probably racism as our skin is not white.They did not clean our rooms for the first 2 days and despite few reminders on the 3rd day, I had to find the cleaning lady myself and tell her about it after which she reluctantly cleaned it." +Hotel,Date of stay: May 2018,United States,California CA,Nevada City,unknown,Racism,"BEWARE of racism here! We were lied to in an attempt to prevent us from staying there. My boyfriend and I are an interracial couple. I am African my boyfriend is Mexican and French. We arrived to the inn in the a.m. hours, tired from our long road trip.The blonde woman who assisted us at the front desk, Kory, told us that the cabin we rented online was not available. From the beginning, she looked disgusted and gave off a weird, distant vibe to both of us. As she feigned attempting to search for rooms on her computer multiple times, she kept lying repeating that nothing was available at their inn for us. And that we would have to sleep somewhere else. My boyfriend had never had a problem like that, so he called hotel.com's customer service. After a while of telling a hotel.com employee that we could not stay there, a room was magically made available, lol. She put us in that room not a cabin, like we had originally booked that she knew for sure had a front door that did not lock, and had been out of service for months. It was scary sleeping there. We put a chair by the handle and went to sleep. The next morning, we found out through talking to house keepers that many rooms in the inn were available, and the room we stayed at isn't supposed to be given to customers Racist Kory and the rest of the staff are aware of that. They also agreed with us that she is without a doubt racist and provides horrible service. They have complained before but nothing has been done. Its 2018, why has this known racist woman, Kory, not been fired yet We were made to feel like dirt. I've never been the victim of such a dirty, dehumanizing act of racism.

I was ridiculed for smoking behind the hotel but, other customers smoked on the balconies and whatnot without receiving a hard time from the staff. I then was accused of smoking in my room because of the smell of my clothes which was outrageous as well since I have stayed here numerous times and never had an issue. My checkin was troublesome, employees not wanting to let me use my points for my reservation. The overall experience was horrendous, I will never stay at this establishment again and management needs to either make staff changes or be eliminated entirely.

It's certainly not discouraged by the staff and management. One goes to hot springs, in general, to relax and unwind. My experience was a disaster. Another patron in the men's locker room became loud, rude, offensive, and escalated to racebased threats claiming I ""raped and murdered his people,"" and that his people and the animals were going to wipe me out. It didn't stop there. I chose to walk away. He was looking for a fight. I didn't give him the opportunity. As it turns out, his threats did not end my horrible experience.I left and went straight to the front desk. The offensive patron was not removed. However, management did take swift action they cut my wristband which is used to regain entrance the same day. You see, if they give me a free pass a refund they feel I should not come back that day. I didn't end up getting that free pass. Do not expect management to manage threatening situations at all, in fact. They're more concerned about ensuring you don't come back. In truth all that kept me coming back was convenience. I'm a local. And I have friends. And they do too! Violent racism in these days, whether physical or verbal, should not be dismissed so quickly so as to ensure that you comply with some ridiculous policy and further offend your customer just to make a buck.

But, there is no staff or lobby. You book privately with condo owners. While there for a week, we had 2 overnight fire alarms that we guess were false alarms because no one told us anything and there simply was no one to ask. One was at 2:303:00 AM, the other around 11 pm. Kind of scary considering we weren't familiar with the facility. This is an old facility, dated. We aren't very familiar with Daytona, but it seemed in a rough part of town with alot of the cheap 35/day hotels directly across from it. The people roaming around those areas didn't seem to be tourists at all but residing in those hotels. There is also public beach access and parking directly on one side of the condo. If you are unlucky enough to have a window on that side, you will hear anyone and everyone who pulls in there overnight. The pool was out of service for 2 days, we didn't know about this in advance. Very sad to report that our African American son experienced some racism from what I assume was another condo owner in addition to a security guard. We are a Caucasian family, but we have an AA son. The first night, as soon as we arrived, our AA son went down to the pool. My husband, myself and our younger son went down after we unpacked. He was just sitting in a pool chair with headphones listening to his mp3 player. We walked past him and were standing by the gate to go to the beach. A short while later, the security guard came to question him and ask him to leave. Interesting enough, he never said anything to us about leaving. The guard told him no one was to be in the pool area after 8pm. The rules posted did say the pool closed at dusk, but we'd just arrived and were just excited to check everything out and hadn't read the rules yet. Another day, our AA son went back to the condo ahead of us from the beach. Once he walked into the pool area to rinse off his feet, one of the condo owners actually approached him and asked for his room number and explained he wasn't supposed to be walking through there if he wasn't staying there. Who does that Our AA son is only 18 and not a thug looking kid at all! He had just graduated high school and the trip was a graduation gift. Thankfully, our son refused to give our room number and about the time we were walking up, pointed to us and said, ""that's my family."" Again, the man never said a word to us. But, our AA son didn't tell us until later what happened. Of course, this same condo owner was drinking it up with friends all day, their table was lined with coolers and the area where they were stunk of alcohol. Those same pool rules that our AA son seemed to violate on day 1 also say no food and drinks at the pool. So, only some rules apply to certain people. I wouldn't even let my kids swim that day because of that group drinking so much. Again, no one EVER approached my husband, myself or our younger son to ask us a single question during our stay. But, our AA son was questioned on 2 different occasions. That alone was enough to make us want to leave early. The only good part of staying here was the fact that our particular unit was oceanfront. Our owner took a little pride in his unit so while it was older and dated, the unit was decent.

I took our my temporary ID issued by the state of Indiana, and she immediately said I cannot take that paper. Did I ask her why Since this was a legal document and I had even used at the airport. She said that she needed to scan the document. So I unfolded the documents and showed her the bar code. She then said, "" I am not taking this document because it's not a valid document."" I then told her that if she was not aware that this, in fact, is a legal document and unless she had a policy or a company handbook that prohibit this document, she could not turn me away. She immediately said, "" Well, you people are always providing illegal document."" Mind you, I took this very personal since I am Latino and I do not tolerate any type of racism. I immediately asked her to get a hold of her supervisor and to provide me with her name. She said she was not giving me my room until I provided her with a legal document. I continued to tell her that the temporary document was a legal document issued by the State of Indiana. She then said she was not calling her supervisor nor was going to give me her name. I had never in my entire life felt so disrespected and humiliated simply by the color of my skin. So of course, I told her that she picked on the wrong Latino because I am educated, know my rights, and I do not tolerate racism. She then continued to ignore me as I kept on asking about my room. Another guest walked in and asked what was going on, so I explained what happened and he said that he had checked in earlier with a temporary ID as well. So he went and got it from his room and showed it to her. So she said, "" I don't care what you showed earlier, I am not giving HIM his room until he provides me with a valid and legal document."" The other guest then said, ""I cannot believe you are doing this to him, you were present when the other front desk took my temporary ID. Are you racist or what is your deal with him"" I then thanked the gentleman for standing up for me but it was impossible to even talk to her. I waited for more than an hour before I got my room.

Since this is a very long journey we stopped for one day at Tarbes. Looking for relaxing places in the neigbourhood we decided to go to the high mountains, and specifically to Estaing, since it was said was one of the best small villages in France.So, after some driving in the mountains we arrived at Estaing at 4 p.m. The place was lovely so we decided to stop, have an ice cream, take a walking tour, and then decide wether we would stay for dinner or not. In the road we find a signal that said something like ""Snack pour un randonneur""; it was a nice caffe of a beautifull camping named Pyrnes Natura. We parked our old Saxo next to the wall of the caffe and went inside the caffe garden. We check the icecream menu outside and I said to my friend: I need to go to the bathroom, please wait here and then we'll ask for the icecream since she doesn't speak french. So I went inside the caffe. There were some clients chating friendly. I had to pass through them to the WC, I said ""Bonjour, excuse moi"", and I went. Someone who must have been the lady owner said ""Bonjour madame"" and I said ""Bonjour"" back. I rushed into the bathroom. When I was inside my friend phoned me. I was intrigued but I didn't answer since I was finish in no more than 2 minutes. I went outside of the WC, into the door of the bar, and saw her at the entrance of the garden, some 20 meters away. I called her and she said for me to come near her. Meanwhile a man came to me and asked me if I had been in the WC, in english. I said yes. The man said please go out. I was stuned and said ""Estce que je peux m'expliqu"" can I explain myself. And I said in french that yes, I've been to the WC and now was calling my friend to come and ask for the icecreams. The man asked me if I was going to buy icecreams and I said yes. Then he ordered me again to leave, three times, in a menacing way and phisically very near. I was apalled, never been so humiliated in all my 49 years of living.When I arrived near my friend she told me that he had already asked her, very insistently, what she was doing there in the caffe garden she said she was waiting for me in her bad english. The man asked where I was and she said I was inside. The man went inside, didn't saw me since I was in the bathroom, and came outside ordering her to leave.We are caucasian with a sun tan. We were dressed informally even though the guy was even more poorly dressed than we: training pants and tshirt half out of them; not sure if he was the owner or a security assistant but from the orders I would say he was the owner. We drive a very simple old car. We think that because of racist assumptions we were taken for thiefs or non consumer clients. This has spoiled our last day of hollidays.

If you're accustomed to a modern approach to people who don't have white skin, this isn't the place for you. All but two of the staff were invariably unhelpful and terse to our group, but not at all to people with the ""correct"" complexion. They actually kept my misplaced sunglasses for themselves instead of returning them from the front desk. They did, however, happily take down my personal details without making eye contact. This kind of mentality wouldn't be out of place in country Queensland a few decades ago.Apart from the staff and the rooms, the facilities are a bit below standard but acceptable, there's a pool that's not awful and a pool table that'll play some tricks on you even if you're a shark!

We never received either and after we asked Tom, we were told that both things and coasters will be dropped off at our room. None of those items were ever dropped off.

His behavior would have easily caused any HR manager to relieve him at least for the day he treated a fellow employee the way he treated my girlfriend and I today. He was seriously questioning the accuracy of a newly issued New Mexico state ID today. Calling into question the height of my GF and I can only conclude his actions to be drawn on a basis of racism. Mind you, she had already stayed one night, however a disastrous 48minutes beyond the checkout time of 11AM had passed and when presented with the original credit card used to check in, he did would not accept it, I offered to pay with a corporate card, he wold not accept either; my name was not on the card though I have valid local ID. We offered cash however would need an additional 50.00 for a deposit. He indicated we would have fiveminutes to pack her room, FIVEMINUTES! I asked if she or I had done something wrong to other than her being 48minutes beyond check out; other than that, No. I asked if who the franchiser was and perhaps I we could see about getting even a little leniency to make a payment that he would accept bear in mind she had the same credit she checked in with at the ready AND I ever offered to pay the extra money so I could ""check in"" an use my corporate card he told me he was where the ""buck stopped"" and there is ""process"" to contacting the owners at which time I mentioned ""I used to broker the sale of hotel properties and I'm asking you to provide the name of that group"" he retorted without hesitating saying to my GF, ""That just got you kicked out"" ...... Having the money, her having stayed one night already; the only conclusion I can see why was behaving in a manor preventing her from staying another night is that he is a Latino and she is white. I am a Mexican and I can tell you, that is all I can conclude. Because if it was not racially based then, when I contact Motel 6 Corporate, The New Mexico Corporation and find the LLC that owns this property; it will have to be a complete failure to meet in the minimum objectives of selling rooms to viable, law abiding, clean and willing customers and he need to be completely relived of his duties. Otherwise, it will have to be something that needs to be heard in a court of law to address and possible racial motives. Not to mention the late check out as stated via Booking.com when the original reservation was made. This is not an ""when available"" feature either.

It has some very facilities with fair maintenance even you can tell that the hotel has some history. They also treated the Marriot membership well with a suite upgrade. The suite was spacious, cozy and full of elegance. The location was also perfect under short distance to the bus stop that led to the famous old town. Most of the servant at the hotel were polite and friendly. The reason I give this perfect hotel 4 stars is racism. On a breakfast morning, one waiter showed racism and severe discrimination between western and eastern customers. No welcome juice as we started our table, but other western customers had. We plead to sit near the window side to observe the beautiful snow scene but were refused by the same person. There were multiple window side tables available at that time. This is unbearable for such a highend hotel." +Hotel,Date of stay: September 2016,Europe,Italy,Tuscany,unknown,Should be 7 stars No racism,"From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we were treated like we were the only guests in the gorgeous hotel village.Marco, the person that met us and checked us in, was very helpful throughout the entire stay.Danielo, the general manager, was an exceptionally welcoming person and spent time showing us around their wonderful wine cellar and art selection.Their current exhibition ""Art of the treasure hunt"" is really interesting; especially the Zaha Hadid lamps in the cellar, and in the little chapel. They noted, from our booking, that we were on honeymoon and very generously placed a bottle of their own sparkling Blanc de Blanc and strawberries in the room for our arrival.The room was great, it was not large and Hilton'ish, it was a reasonable sized room decorated in local Tuscan style.We ate at the Tuscan restaurant, not the gourmet, the service was good and the food was simple and tasty. Their own olive oil was marvelous, their own Brunello di Montelcino the top one of their offering was mindblowing, worth every single cent.Pool area very pleasant set in a wonderful Tuscan countryside.Breakfast, well I ordered bacon and scrambled eggs. My wife says I make the best in the world, well I have to concede defeat, both the eggs and the bacon were indescribably delicious and, to be honest, I have no idea how they made the bacon so crispy without too much greasy residue, enough said. Everything else was excellent as well.We will be returning sometime and Can't recommend it enough.Footnote: we were a mixed couple and experienced no racism of any kind we also stayed at the hotel Castello di Velona, see review on this, the two are on par but for very different tastes.

I chose to stay off property and come to the resort on a daily basis. I was stopped at the gate and was refused entry. I even heard the receptionist ask if I was African when the gate called to check my identity. I was appalled. When my European friend came to the gate, I watched as he was let in with no questions asked. I was shocked! A resort owned by foreign investors, providing a service that is supposed to be OPEN TO THE PUBLIC should not mistreat its hosts. My aunt, her two kids and brother were turned away from the gate despite a message being left with the reception. My family is well respected in Nairobi and watamu and we provide business to many enterprises including sending our relatives to the Sun Palm resort. Until this policy changes, I will avidly protest staying at this resort. I understand security is a concern, but making Africans treat each other this way is disgraceful and enforces a backward colonial mindset. You have the power and the ability to be an example to the community. We appreciate your business but do not be so blatantly disrespectful to the countrymen and women who make Kenya what it is." +Hotel,Date of stay: November 2018,Africa,Kenya,Coast Province,"Royal Tunbridge Wells, United Kingdom",Prostitution and racism,"Myself and my partner recently stayed 2 nights scheduled for 10 but cut short. In brief this place supports prostitution, some of the girls also being of questionable age. The owner, Bianca, is happy to allow this and seemingly makes her money from it. Alongside this she openly treats her very good staff despicably and uses racist remarks towards them in the public areas.I would imagine her high ratings are mostly from her regular European tenants who love the freedom she allows while they exploit young girls and boys. Watching an old man pay off a young girl in reception whilst you eat your breakfast puts the place in perspective. I would advise potential customers to thoroughly read reviews as we should have done prior to booking. Even some of the higher ratings make the same complaints and the star ratings given don't seem to match up....For what it's worth, the rooms and facilities are as described. Basic, but nice enough for the price. Bedsheets were scratchy, but I guess they are well used! Hot and stuffy with only a fan. Fridge and cooking facilities are useful for more flexibility.We chose not to use the pool having seen at least two couples being 'intimate' in it. Fittingly they have a cocktail on the menu called Swimming pool with a mysterious 'white cream' addition...Despite her apparent friendly nature the owner Bianca loves to gossip about her guests. Within an hour we were told about the medical conditions of one of her guests and later once we decided to leave, she discussed it with every guest that came within earshot perhaps it's a surprise to her that some English people can understand German In the two days we were there we witnessed her shout at and abuse her staff on at least 3 occasions in the bar area, including using some strongly racist terms which I hoped in this day and age were not used. I do have to say the local staff were excellent, attentive, friendly and very helpful. They assisted in our poor attempts at learning Swahili, and all from the groundsmen, security and the waiters were happy and friendly throughout. Undeserving of the way they were treated. Please think twice before booking here and funding this place. It's 'quiet and out of the way location' are only good for one thing: exploitation of young and the less well off by dirty needy old men and possibly women who can't find affection without paying for it." +Hotel,Date of stay: September 2017,Europe,Greece,Ionian Islands,"London, United Kingdom","Lovely views, basic hotel, racism at its finest","Upon arrival The hotel Receptionist did not advise us that it will cost us 10 Euros to keep our personal belongings in the room safeRoom Very basic, only 3 channels work on the tv no English speaking channels, all German.

I am disappointed that the Chilean owner questioned our interest and visit to the 'Human Rights and Memory museum' that explains the tragic Chilean history which is also the no 1 thing to do on TripAdvisor in Santiago. In fact, he was very discouraging about it. I would have recommended this place as a budget accommodation due to its location but his racist email to my wife shows the owner, Christian's true colours and reveals his disrespect for other cultures.

Poor customer service as we were downgraded to smaller rooms without any notice due to overbooking.Abysmal: My friend write a honest review providing both positives and negatives and this is what the owner Christian Reid responded:""There must be places where these situations would never arise of course, but I'm afraid they are found for a higher budget...Thank you again for your input, as this helps me thrive in making my travelers happy and deal with Asian guests pretending to be Australian.""Would've given maybe 2.5 stars but the owner is not only unprofessional but also racist towards guests who give fair, honest and constructive criticism. Would not recommend if the owner treats paying customers like this." +Hotel,Date of stay: April 2015,South America,Chile,Santiago Metropolitan Region,unknown,Pleasant experience tarnished by poor service and racist email,"THE GOOD Host was cheerful and fluent in english greeted our group warmly with some drinks, helped us with restaurant suggestions and things to do. Taxis were organised promptly also. Our luggage was stored whilst we were away for a couple days also. Excellent location, close to landmarks, transport shops etc.THE NOT SO GOOD The property is an old and creaky guest house. It has it's own rustic charm but potential customers should be prepared for things like poor plumbing and limited hot water. Not a nice feeling stepping into the shower in the morning and being ankle deep in last nights cold water. For the price range however this seems to be the norm.Our host also stuffed up our reservations. Twice. Not all rooms in this property are equal, in fact the one we ended up with was quite claustrophobic and in my opinion not worth the 1015 usd discount that was offered. Breakfast was fairly basic tasty nonetheless. THE UGLYOur friendly host doesn't seem to respond well to constructive criticisms and unfortunately instead of responding to a post on tripadvisor, he resorted to contacting his last reviewer via her personal email to leave some fairly sarcastic, distasteful and discourteous remarks. To quote; ""...Thank you again for your input... as this helps me thrive in making my travelerssic happy and deal with Asian guests pretending to be Australian"" Now I may be taking this way out of context Christian, so I'll offer you the chance to explain these remarks publicly on Tripadvisor. The way I see it, despite the fact that we have paid you and left, this still falls under service. In this instance, you've failed yourself by resorting to such petty racist remarks.I don't doubt that other travellers have and will continue to have good experiences with your venue for as long as they don't try to offer any constructive criticisms. and as long as they're not Asian either" +Hotel,Date of stay: April 2015,South America,Chile,Santiago Metropolitan Region,unknown,"Good, bad, and ugly","Good: Location is quite central and within 510 min walking distance to nice restaurants and bars. The house is quaint and the common areas are pleasantly decorated. the large rooms not the small rooms are good value for money. comfortable beds. owner initially quite helpful and friendly giving us a map of Santiago Bad: the small double bed rooms are tiny, with hardly enough space for two people to squeeze past each other and no ventilation in the bedroom itself. The bathroom is also tiny, and the shower floods the bathroom if you take a shower for more than 2 mins due to poor drainage. Owner overbooked rooms. On the first and second night one couple on our group ended up with the small room because the owner overbooked both nights. This happened yet again this time to me and my fianc on another night after coming back from Valparaiso even though we were assured that there would be the large room available for us. In fact, we had a booking elsewhere for that night and the owner encouraged us to cancel the other booking because he reasoned that it would be easier for us to leave our bags at Travesia only for us to discover that he had given our large room away to other travellers we ended up with the tiny room. cold showers if you are the last bedroom to use the shower. I understand that the house is old, which adds to the charm, but it would be nice to be warned rather than coming back to the hotel room on a chilly night and then taking a cold shower. smelly bathrooms with poor ventilation. Ugly: One of our group posted a reasonable and fair review on TripAdvisor with pros and cons. She then got a long and abusive email which ended with the rather racist paragraph ""Thank you again for your input as this helps me thrive in making my travelers happy and deal with Asian guests pretending to be Australian."" My review would have been 3 stars but I took one star off for the despicable email which to me is terrible service from the owner." +Hotel,Date of stay: October 2018,Europe,Austria,Upper Austria,unknown,The worst and rasist owner,"Avoid this camp if possible.

Once the engine was running again , the mechanic recommend to go for at least 30min drive to recharge the battery. The owner didnt let us passed the main gate as it was 9pm and we wanted to have a bath, he was already in his pyjamas btw. He said to me Fk you Bch and shut the door. Then he insist us to immediately leave the camp as we didnt respect his rules. We asked him to speak English he shouted this is AUSTRIA . He threatened us with police.

Who ever think of staying in this camp, STAY AWAY!" +Hotel,Date of stay: August 2017,Europe,Italy,Tuscany,unknown,"Good stay for the price, terrible host","In our Florence vacation we didn't had a chance to check hotels' comments on tripadvisor so we checked hotels for the next day and booked one of them they were no too many options left.As you can read all other comments, there is some problems with the host. I will try to give the most neutral comment.Hotel is not looking like the pictures. All furnitures and the building are much older. The location is good. It is just couple of minutes to central station. In our vacation we didn't use any public transportation and walked everywhere. Hotel is not close all of them but it is not a big city you can walk.Hotel was generally clean.There is no 1 big size bed, there are 2 of them connected and there is a gap between them. It is wring information if you see it is a king size bed.Windows are really old and wooden. They are not closing completely and because of that you can hear the noise of street. But in the night it was pretty silent.I have a insect phobia and when I saw the windows I needed to ask if they have a problem with insects. But our host was pretty sarcastic and asked where I am from after that became a little bit racist and said here is not Turkey.It is writing ""don't touch"" on air conditioner controller. It was hot inside and we asked our host if it can be cooler and he said ""it is not possible, we have automated system which is holding the coldness around 26 degrees, I can't change it even I want to""After that we said okay but in the night air conditioner was working whole night and inside was ice cold. Here a lot of people complain about it was not working. So I am thinking he did this on purpose.He was so rude and was not accepting any of his mistakes. I mean on internet it was writing wrong checkin time and in the paper which stays at room it was writing wrong check out time and we had some problems with them. He woke us up and said you have to check out. And when we show him the paper he said you should have check it online. But online page was already wrong too. All this comments about him are true. He is answering and blaming others but it is definitely not true. He has some problems, just a warning for you." +Hotel,Date of stay: August 2016,Europe,Italy,Tuscany,unknown,Find another place!

Called the one in charge and he showed up after 5 minutes. It has a lousy and dark entrance. It is like staying in the train station since the room was not soundproof and you can hear the trains and even the PA system calls from a train in the street nearby! The booking was for a double sized bed and we got two individual beds set together... The guy explained me that ""there are no double sized queen or king mattresses in Italy"", which is false. The automatic A/C doesn't work very well and it was off during the day so the room vas very hot! They also cancelled my reservation the morning after I arrived for a ""no show"" reason I believe they did this to avoid being reviewed, since they realized I was not pleased to be there. The person in charge was very rude and with an ungentlemanly conduct. For a reference, read the responses to all the negative reviews where there are unpolite replies from the staff to the customers. ABSOLUTELY NOT RECOMMENDED!!" +Hotel,Date of stay: July 2016,Europe,Italy,Tuscany,unknown,2016 and still racist behaviour! Firenze doesn't deserve this hotel,"I have been travelling for many years. I stayed different kind of of hotels boutique, all inclusive and even funny hostels. So i comment this so objective.Nobody speak English good level even in reception. The room we stayed was dusty. AC was broken. We couldn't sleep beacuse of noisy around hotel. The bed smelt moisture I asked they forgot to change the day before! But I must to say the worst thing. Apart from all of this belove, the owner is racist for noncontinental citizen. I had not read the hotel reply to comments in bookingcom. You can see how racist they are.

Very limited alcoholic drinks at the bar and stopped at certain times.Our rooms never got cleaned left used cups in the room and would not give us clean ones, we were limited to 1 white shower towel every other day between me and my boyfriend. When the maids did sort our room out our clean folded clothes where all crumpled up in the corner of the room. The bedding did not get changed all week as a bit of my makeup was still on the bedding. The shower base was all mouldy and broken in the corners, really big stains all over the carpet, the doors and windows to the balcony where broken and could not close the door properly.Certain staff were very very rude and racist towards us. There was no entertainment that was advertised at all. As well as the wifi never worked.

Violently ill from the horrific food in the all inclusive buffet. Not all inclusive and cant drink after 11pm as the staff say alcohol is forbidden bought outside hotel. Racist towards English people also. Disgusting staff and management. Dont do a thing to help anyone. Very rude and kicked me out of hotel room when I was being sick from their disgusting food! Didnt even let me lie down in the lobby area when I was passed out after being so poorly! Cant get a sun lounger unless you get up at 6am every day and put a towel on the bed. NOTHING for children no entertainment what so ever. Everything it lists is a lie. No WiFi unless you want to sit in the un air conditioned lobby. Its more like a prison camp with all the rules than a hotel. Cant swim in pool after 7. Nothing for children to do after this time and they wont allow them to play around sun lounger area or in lobby as they are a nuisance. When 5 children are on their holiday who have just met and entertained themselves for hours seen as though there is nothing to do at all in the hotel. The rooms are another thing. Blankets are all ripped and old. Air conditioning didnt work for 4 nights due to them not having it on the correct settings for it to be cold! Very dirty and old fashioned. The food and drinks are below even 1 star as well as the diabolical service I received from staff. Wouldnt even allow us an extra pillow for my disabled mother who was in agony from the rock like beds and having to sit on a chair as there isnt any sun loungers as they save them for Turkish guests first. The last comment is how they told us we couldnt celebrate and have a couple of drinks for our country in the World Cup and threatened to kick us out of the hotel.

If you had bothered to read the info you were given you would have seen that they have an agest problem not a racist problem. If time had been taken to understand the locals and their beliefs, you would have understood they have little tolerance for party people, to the extent of not selling alcohol in supermarkets in the whole of that area. It seem to me the racial intolerance was possibly the posters actions and responses. To the site, family site, very quite, reasonable facilities and some over the top security, swipe cards for everything However great beaches close at hand not to mention loads of walks" +Hotel,Date of stay: February 2015,South Pacific,New Zealand,North Island,unknown,Racist owner,"I arrived with four of my friends for the night in Piha to hang out with my friends while some were surfing. We arrived at the camp ground and asked for 3 sites for our tents. The first words from the owner to us was""I am going to give you the talk I give all young people, we are a family site all about Mum Dad and the kid so at half ten silence is compulsary"" which is completely fair and we went on to say we are all in our late twenties, early thirties and are just here to hang out at the beach...the owner went on to tell us a story about a certain nationality which stayed on the campground two years ago..they did not adhere to Mandatory silence and went down to the beach swimming and had to be rescued by the coast guard. They then stayed the night in her house and left a mess when they left. .of course I understand she was annoyed by this but to greet a group of people of a mixed nationalities was racist and really offended us, with two of us being this nationality. We said nothing but the people that were waiting behind us even commented how rude she was. Then she also added that if we did anything after half ten she would throw us out straight away. The following morning before I left I went to the reception to make a complaint and was greeted by another woman. I told her about what happened and how I did not think people that work in hospitality should behave like this and how unprofessional she was. The owner then came out..she said that it was not racist and had every right to say that. The other lady went on to say that there have been three groups of people they have had trouble with. .the Brazilians, Argentines and the Irish. I told her that is simply racist and you can't speak like that to people. They told me to leave and so I did. I have never encountered anything like this before in NZ.

I called to make sure I had the right location, she told me I did, she was short and not pleasant at all. I showed up to the property @ 1:10pm, I asked if I could check in, Lydia told me the room wasn't ready, I reminded her that I called and she confirmed it was ready. after further review of my reservation, she discovered I wasn't scheduled to arrive that day. I then asked can I cancel the reservation due to no availability , Lydia replied no, she cant help me! after asking a few times I then decided to call Hilton to fix the matter, I then told Lydia never mind ill call Hilton, she rolled her eyes and walked towards the back of the front desk, that's when I was shocked to hear this young lady say as she walked away "" stupid black b"" I was shocked and in disbelief, I turned and said, excuse me what did you call me she just gave me a very nasty look and kept walking. that moment I realized that this young lady has a issue with African American people and her racist comment towards me will not ignored. my colleague who is Caucasian went and spoke to the same girl and had the same request, Lydia was very nice to him and treated him totally different. He was just as upset as I was because he witnessed what I went through, she clearly has personal discomfort forwards minorities and this type of behavior is not tolerated, especially at the front desk of a major hotel chain. I will be contacting Hilton corporate office about this, I will also reach out to the media and my company corp office, so that we can make sure no one else goes through what I had to endure at this hotel. Lydia made a racist remark to my face, it was bold and it showed me that she's comfortable treating people this way, I will not let this go until something is done" +Hotel,Date of stay: February 2018,Asia,Sri Lanka,Central Province,unknown,Terrible beyond believe!!! Stay well away! Very racist owner!,"I had booked three nights 15 to 18 February at Yale Kandy park hotel, Kandy, Sri Lanka. It was advertised as a five star hotel but it was more like abandoned half done construction site! We drove an hour up very tight unsafe roads in the mountain to get to the hotel this was not mentioned any where in the hotel description. Upon arrival we were greeted by the lost looking Sri Lankan workers they had no electricity at the hotel and asked us to sit and wait. We were very concerned for our driver as he had to drive back down the unlit mountain and it was getting dark. We asked him if we could see the rooms, however our standard room was too far away and there was no one to take us. At this point the hotel manager was getting angry and stressed, he started raising his voice and saying I have no time to deal with you, if you want just cancel and leave. He then walked away from us. We were shocked by his mannerism and unprofessionalism. This was very surprising as nothing had happened for him to be so rude. This is not how you greet your guests after climbing several unsafe roads. He was saying to us its the Sri Lankans fault as they are all against him and they are silly and stupid people and are giving him a very big headache all the time. All this time we were standing in darkness.We were told he doesnt have the two rooms we booked and paid for so we would need to stay in a room together with one king bed and two compact beds. The second room we had actually paid for was still under construction. He said that he had two other guests in the hotel and he couldnt give us that room. The state of the hotel was very appalling, we could not leave as by now it was dark and it was too dangerous to drive back down. We had no choice but to stay, non of us wanted to stay, we wanted to find another hotel with polite staff. We decided to spend one night and leave early the next morning. We informed we would stay one night only because he left us no choice.During this night we had no electricity for majority of the night our hot water finished after one girl had a shower and were unable to get hot water for the rest of the night as no electricity. When one person showered it flooded the whole bathroom, one sink was blocked and there were dead flies everywhere. The WiFi was cut and phone lines were also not working. We couldnt charge our phones or tablets, we couldnt communicate with anyone. This is not what you except from a five star hotel.The Sri Lankan workers were treated at such poor levels they kept apologising us to as we had to put up with such a horrible manager. At one point the manager yelled at his employee infront of us and two other guests which was awful to watch. He treated his staff with no respect and blamed them for everything.No one slept that night, we were just on edge the whole time, the fold out beds were so uncomfortable and room was full ridden with insects crawling and dead everywhere. As there was no electricity we had no air conditioning and you can imagine the humidity and heat is unbearable without air conditioning in February in Sri Lanka.We had no dinner that evening as the state of the kitchen was disgusting, the wonder trades illegally he purchased alcohol at very low prices and sells to his guests at triple the price with no license. It is unacceptable in this day and age to have such a hotel running with such a rude incompetent and racist manager. People cannot be treated with such disrespect. Please please reconsider if you are looking to book this hotel, it is nothing close to what the description says, do not let this place ruin your holiday to Sri Lanka." +Hotel,Date of stay: January 2017,Asia,Sri Lanka,Central Province,unknown,Wasted Holiday.

The main resort was a twenty minutes steep uphill walk. If available, a vehicle was provided. One of our rooms had a stench, which the owner was well aware of. TV was not functioning. Nor the phones so we had no connection to the main building. Taps were dry, and we had to complain and then wait for someone to come and put on the water pump. Staff was sparse and difficult to locate, as we were lodged a distance away. Most parts of the ""resort"" were still under construction. There was no swimming pool the pictures of the infinity pool shown on the site, is only with the villa. There was one cook, with one stove, who also served as a waiter. This was definitely not a relaxed holiday that we envisaged. My daughter had posted a comment and review of our experience, to which we received an unexpected racial reaction and tweet from the owner against all Indians, and that he would ban allowing Indians to stay at his ""resort"", and that he had told Agoda and others to refuse Indian booking, as Indians are not welcome ! We informed Agoda, through whom we had made this booking, and surprisingly, they have done precious little about these racist comments, and still continue to support him instead of boycotting such a racist." +Hotel,Date of stay: November 2017,Asia,Vietnam,Ho Chi Minh City,unknown,Racism !!!,Please read this comment.Yesterday i was with a group of friends.

They actually have the decency to not rip off foreigners. If you intend to sit there and sip on one drink that will only bring in a couple of cents to them, then yeah, you will probably be better off elsewhere where you will pay three times the price.

On the phone was the manager of the hotel telling us we were being evicted for having a friend in the room. I tried to explain we were just having dinner and she was gonna leave, then he threatened to call the police on me before i was even done explaining this person wasnt going to be staying. He said we couldnt have any people in the room.

The manager was extremely rude so we decided to just ask for our money back and we would be on our way. He just called the police and said we were threatening him. The police were even less helpful and just said that they had to evict us and we werent getting any money back because the manager wanted us to leave and since its a private property he could evict us whenever. We gathered our things and left, the people that run this business are extremely rude, disrespectful people and most probably filled up their hotel and kicked us out so they could sell the room twice that night. spend the extra couple dollars and get something that isnt a complete dive.

My husband went inside to ask how much it would be to stay on a Saturday night. The man told him it was 59.95, so my husband paid for the room. He asked the man what time we should check out the following day, and the man told him 11:00 A.M. We were in a nonsmoking room, and we were so excited to be away from home for an evening, we ignored the fact that the room reeked of cigarette smoke. We also overlooked the brown ooze coming out of the ice machine. I decided to take a shower, but I discovered that there wasn't any shampoo in the room. My husband and I walked to the office, about twenty feet from our door, and picked some up from the man at the desk. After our showers, we settled in and called it a night, falling asleep. We were hoping for a chance to get some rest and to sleep in the next morning. The broken air conditioner kept us up all night. At 8:30 A.M., we woke up to an unwelcome wakeup call, which we did not ask for. At 9:30 A.M., we were woken once again with a second wakeup call, which again, we did not ask for. At 10:30, we received a third call. This time, it was a woman asking if we were going to check out, or if we were going to stay another night. I told her we were going to be checking out. At 10:50 A.M., as I was packing and changing, there was a violent, loud pounding on the door. I hid, half naked, in the bathroom doorway, afraid that they were just going to burst in. My husband answered the door. The man who had checked us in the previous night, was at the door. He asked my husband in a hostile tone, ""are you checking out today"" My husband replied, ""yea, yea, we're checking out at 11:00."" He shut the door, the man left, and we continued to get ready to leave. We started to wonder if it was daylight savings, but that was a few months ago!We packed up our Volvo, then walked to the office to check out. We wanted to ask if there was a reason we were rushed out of our room, and we wanted to let them know how uncomfortable the morning had been. When we reached the office, the man and a woman were behind the desk, talking with a customer. We were waiting for them to finish their conversation, but the man reached out and said ""thank you,"" indicating the key. My husband began to say what a horrible experience it was, and I asked them, ""is there any particular reason we were rushed out of our hotel room this morning"" They said yes, because we had received a discounted rate, checkout was 10:30. We told them that we were not informed of this the night before, and that we in fact were not even informed it was a discounted rate. My husband asked them that if they rent a room at a discount, does that also mean they give the discount rate service Astonishingly, they replied ""yes."" In a furious tone, the woman said, ""that is why we have the discounted rate, for people like you."" The man then added, ""you people don't even have shampoo to wash your hair."" One of them also told us we were uneducated, to which I replied, ""I beg your pardon"" The insults were totally unprevoked. My husband and I were flabbergasted, and he was furious. He pushed their paper sign off the edge of the counter, and walked out of the office. The woman told me, ""this is the kind of person you're with."" As if I married a lower class of person. Maybe she thought a white woman shouldn't be married to a Mexican man. I asked how we were supposed to know we were supposed to check out early, when we didn't even know we had received a discount rate. The woman told me to leave, and said they didn't want ""our kind"" there anyway. I was dumbfounded, and for the second time, I asked her, ""I beg your pardon"" She told me to leave again, and I walked out of the office.My husband and I got into our car, and decided to stop in at the office to ask for a business card so we could call the appropriate authorities and report this heinous treatment. We decided I should go in, since my husband was in a more agitated state than I. The man was outside at this point, and asked me where I was going. I said I wanted a business card, walked past him to the inside, and spoke to the woman. She gave me a card, and pointed at a sign. She had to turn it around, but on the back, it said, ""discount rate checkout 10:30."" I asked her how we were supposed to know that, since we obviously didn't even know we had a discounted rate, and because there were about eight other signs on the desk. I wasn't even sure the sign was facing the right direction the night before. She simply told me in aggressive tone, ""LEAVE.""As I left the office, I saw that the man had approached the Volvo, and was antagonizing my husband through the window. The man was saying ""oh, well then what school did YOU go to"" I got in the car, and my husband was considering getting out to talk to the man, with one foot out of the car, shouting back at the man. My husband was defending himself, and only getting angrier. The man said he was going to call the police, for what reason I do not know. I told my husband just to forget it, so he sat down and we drove away. Contrary to these people's beliefs, my husband and I are educated and well spoken. I am a fashion designer, renowned world wide, and my husband is a highly successful business owner. I went to college for art at one of the top schools in the nation. We don't look like clean cut, trendy dressers. I have a nose ring, and he has an eyebrow ring. We are what I can only describe as ""alternative."" Regardless of these facts, and even if we had never been to school in our lives, or if we looked like we stepped out of the gutter, we should have been treated with respect, and we should have been allowed our dignity. We paid for a service, and we were treated horribly. These people were racist, classist, and rude, with no reason to hand out such treatment, to anyone of any race, of any class, with any level of education. This is unacceptable." +Hotel,Date of stay: June 2018,Africa,Morocco,TangierTetouan Region,unknown,TERRIBLE and racist staff!,"Super bad hotel, we could not stay there.

So we left after two dayswe payed for six." +Hotel,Date of stay: December 2013,Africa,Morocco,TangierTetouan Region,unknown,Racist and xenophobic staff and a favoured roost for prostitutes,"A hotel with racist and xenophobic reception and a favoured roost for prostitutes. I have stayed in a lot of hotels all around the world and the Atlas Almohades is by far the worst I have ever experienced.The receptionist was racist and xenophobic and made it clear he did not want to serve my nationality. Whilst asking for directions he would actually just turn walkaway, preferring to help customers who were obviously 'more local'. I've never seen anything like it. He became aware that I had found out his name so I could complain to management. Whilst I was getting directions from the very helpful concierge, this receptionist rudely interrupted and started shouting in my face ""what's the problem, what's the problem"" and then walked away laughing loudly. On arrival the receptionist failed to inform me about any of the facilities in the hotel such as the gym and the availability of breakfast in my room. The room itself had no hotel guide so I missed breakfast. The hotel is next to the beach and a lot of nightclubs which are open till gone 4am. The hotel also has a loud music bar downstairs and a nightclub upstairs. You will struggle to get any sleep here. Both bars are popular with prostitutes. I was hounded by one who wouldn't take no for an answer. The bar staff didn't care less and even allowed her to try to put a drink on my bill.My room had a wardrobe that was falling apart and unpainted plaster repairs across the ceiling. A lot of items in the room where either missing or broken, including the air conditioning. The bed sheets where worn and thin and did not fit the bed. Meaning they would come off the bed in the night leaving me sleeping on a bare stained mattress.I did get breakfast on my second day. I was glad I missed it the first day. The only thing that was edible was some croissants.Whilst at this hotel I emailed both the group head office and hotel manager and emailed them again on returning home. No reply.I've slept in 5 star hotels and 2 star hostels. Leaky tents and storm battered boats. The Atlas Almohades will always be remembered as the worst experience I have ever had." +Hotel,Date of stay: April 2013,Europe,France,IledeFrance,unknown,"Racist, unprofessional, freezing temperatures, no food available",Where do you even begin They basically over book then actually have the NERVE to tell you that if you are part of a tour group then you basically are treated like a second class citizen yup person at front desk told me that to my faceVery very racist can not accommodate more than 5 people at restaurant at once and refuses people to eat at their restaurant allowing select people to eat never seen such disgusting behaviour in agesAlso nothing in the proximity so basically starving people.Oh and their temperatures are absolutely freezing.

It has been close to a year since I visited this property with my husband and still the bad memories cease to settle. We had been very excited about our visit to Paris. My husband was visiting the University and I was tagging along. This property is about an hour away from central Paris and one needs to hop across a bus and a train at least to reach the destination... frankly, I wasnt too bothered about this.Rules of feedback tell me that I should cite good things first... We liked the property. In that season, with the colors beginning to show it was pretty and tidy. The room cleaning staff was good but the reception and cafetaria staff sucks, to say the least. The wifi worked well and the technical staff at the hotel were cooperative.I had a special meal requirement and was carrying my food packets that I needed to warm before I have my meal. For all the 5 days we stayed there, I struggled to get the staff to get me to warm the packets since there was no microwave in the room. The lady at the reception, who was too quick when I asked her to furnish my bill, said she didnt understand English so couldnt help. The cafetaria folks, obviously cared more about people who were dining in, and kept me waiting for more than half an hour in my pyjamas at the dining area before I gave up and stormed out. Ultimately, it was the electric kettle in the room, which I used to warm the packets... I still get goosebumps in anger and disgust when I recall this experience. The only saving grace was a gentleman called Jihed I think who was very courteous and helpful, but his shifts never really matched the time when I needed help.I hadnt heard notsogreat things about French hospitality and this hotel tried its best to prove the point. Our next stay in Paris was overnight at a small 2 star hotel near Garu de Nord and I would say it was 200x better in terms of warmth and hospitality than this 'luxury' property. I have stayed in another Novotel in Bangkok, and the experience was exquisite so I guess the problem was essentially with the staff. I am sorry, I have nothing but anger and disgust to offer to this hotel." +Hotel,Date of stay: October 2016,United States,North Carolina NC,Mooresville,unknown,BED BUGS!!!,"My husband and I made a reservation here.

We found spots, and hair in the sheets indicating that they were not washed properly. The room had bed bugs, and pictures can be provided to indicate that they were received here.

I purchased an ice cream cake as a surprise for the children and set up a little party in the hotel room for the children. Before I made the purchase of ice cream cake I called the hotel and spoke to Wendy and she stated that she could hold the ice cream cake in the freezer for the children until I was ready to get the cake. That was the only discussion that we had regarding this cake. My family and I were in the pool and the manager Stephanie burst through the door with a side kick employee and Stephanie put her hand in the air and said there is no food allowed in the pool and we looked at her and said what are you talking about we don't have any food here and she said someone told me that you were going to have a cake in here and I said well someone told you wrong. Stephanie said I am the manager here and I run this hotel. Stephanie did not walk in and ask us any questions she just walked in and was very rude and racist we were the only AfricanAmericans in there in the pool she was a Caucasian woman and she was very disrespectful in front of 5 little children and 5 adults. We were even supposed to stay an additional day. However we checked out of the hotel a day early, we did not feel welcomed or comfortable at that hotel at all. I immediately got out of the pool and went to grab the ice cream cake because I was totally disgusted by the service from Stephanie, a manager who was supposed to set an example and be a professional. When Stephanie went to get the cake she gave it to me and said she doesn't know why I was so upset. I informed her that her actions were rude and unprofessional. I took the cake and told her to have a good day. No one ever mentioned having food in the pool or in that area at all that was not the plan and that was never even talked about with Wendy so I don't know where she received that information. This was supposed to be family fun time and Stephanie came right in and ruined it with her racist attitude. My family and I will never stay at this property again. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. No one should be treated this way.

They were treated as inferior and told that their English was not good enough and that they did not want to try and talk to them. I had to call for them and I was also treated very rudely. The only reason we did not cancel at this point was that it was non refundable and we had pre booked it. Upon arriving, the staff overcharged part of stay; we took care of the charges, however, two days before they arrived. When checking out they were told that the were higher. When they asked why the charges were more, the staff made excuse after excuse. Despite us showing them the information we had given and pre agreed on, they still fought to raise the price. In the end, after seeing the manager, the extra was removed. Super unprofessional and impolite to customers. All that said, I highly recommend avoiding this place.

To begin with the hotel room and beds are equivalent to a motel room in decoration and comfort, but our rom had a strange smell in it as well. However, the WORST part of the hotel experience was the staff. While staying at the hotel I saw a group of Asians checking in. As they talked to each other in their native language in the lobby two hotel staff pointed at and laughed at them behind their backs. My husband and I are also Asian and experienced some of the most indifferent interactions with the hotel staff that we have ever experienced. Later that night my husband and I got food poisoning from the hotel wings, which an employee later told us we should never eat. We asked the hotel if we could have a late checkout because of being sick from their food, but no one with authority to make that decision was in the hotel. We left the hotel at 3:00 am because of how sick we were from their food and how unhelpful the staff was. Staff did not even apologize for our sickness nor help us with our bags as we left. When calling the hotel to discuss the food poisoning and racially prejudice behavior of their employees management was indifferent. Two managers straight up lied to me and said they could not refund us because we made the purchase through Groupon, when Groupon said the hotel just needs to approve a refund to refund us. The management was indifferent to the employees who were pointing at and laughing at the Asian party checking in.

He was not particularly welcoming, but we ignored this, as my partner and I were not going this man spoil our holiday. When we made our way down to our room, we noticed that the door had been left open to let the room air. We quickly unloaded our belongings into the room, and then went out for the evening.Upon returning to the Motel around 9.00pm, we went into our room, and noticed a very unpleasant smell in the room. We realised that as it was a very cold Hamilton evening, that once we turned the heater on, there would be little escape from this smell.My partner tried to contact the office by telephone, but after 4 attempts, decided to walk down to reception, to see if there was another room available.Speaking with the owner / manager person who had checked us in, this person rapidly got agitated and agressive saying that he had Indians in the room room the night before, and making very unkind, derogatory remarks about an entire race.We explained that we would be unable to sleep in this room, and that we wanted another room. We were told rather agressively, that he did not like my race either, and if he had know what race I was over the telephone, he would not have take my reservation. He then came out from behind his counter, and tried to physically intimidate my partner. I actually thought this man was going to hit my partner.At this point we told him that we were leaving, and I was relieved that he had not asked for my credit card details upon check in. As we walked away, he continued to shout racist and derogatory comments at us in front of other guests. This was a totally humiliating experience, which I hope no other person ever has to endure. I like to believe that as human beings, that we have evolved as a race, and that this primative dirty little man is not representative of Hamilton Moteliers in general. My only advice is that if you are not happy in what you are doing, that take a step towards making a change.

Rooms are very average with very little space to move around. There are hardly any facilities near the hotel. And honestly, there isn't anything great about this hotel.But what ticked me off the most was the racist behavior of the staff. I am proudly an Indian origin, however my skin color has nothing to do with the way I should be treated.Our breakfast was served in a dingy part of the rooftop restaurant away from where the other guests were being served. When I walked into the regular dining area, I was treated disrespectfully and was told ""you are Indian, you go sit there"", pointing at the separate place where our group breakfast was laid out. And the breakfast served to our group was ALL LEFTOVERS and did not even include the full breakfast buffet which the other hotel guests were served. We had practically nothing to eat in the 'So called"" buffet served to us. The fruits were clearly leftover cuts from the previous day dumped in one big bowl, the bread was stale, the eggs were made and kept there since hours and not even heated. There was no coffee, no cereal, nothing. There was practically nothing to eat. So the racism was from what they served us for breakfast to how we were treated. I wasn't the only one who was told harshly to go away from the regular dining area. My father and a few more travelers from our group were told the same thing as well with a specific mention to ""YOU ARE INDIAN, YOU GO SIT THERE"". These were the words of the serving staff AND the CHEF who came out to assist the serving staff in verbally assaulting us treating us disrespectfully.Of course it did not end here. A complaint at the front desk got us regular breakfast the other day, but with no different treatment. They had harsh facial expressions, didn't care, and were not at all apologetic. In fact the entire staff of the hotel behaved like it was their right to treat us that way, including the front desk. The manager of the hotel did not even come forward with an apology in spite of asking to speak to him.The front desk said they would have a meeting, but said they know their staff wouldn't do anything like that. Even when we left, no apologies and no remorse.Sad sad sad to see this at a Ramada Group Hotel.We talk of equality over the globe, and here skin color gives such people the right to treat another badly.

So I cut my losses and decided to leave.When leaving I passed the reception area of Premier Inn and noticed that the Premier Inn hotel racist Duty Manager and the Dining area racist Manager were having a giggle with one another at my and my brothers expense.She could have easily addressed my concerns and raised the issue with the Dining area Manager but instead chose to have a giggle with him and ignore a customer who had PAID IN ADVANCE.The 3 morning staff included the Duty Manager of Premier Inn she was blonde, the ginger haired man wearing a pink shirt in the dining area who supposed to be management but instead indirectly and silently displayed the most lowest form of a systematic racist character and the young lady waitress who clearly followed the lead of her racist Duty Manager of the dining area and decided to serve others before us.I and my brother stayed over on the night of 12 December 2017 and the aforementioned occurred on the morning of Wednesday 13 December between 0800 0830 approximately.THE 3 STAFF IN QUESTION KNOW THE TRUTH AND YOU THEY KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. They will no doubt deny my compliant and I can only assume that the Senior Management Team overseeing operations will take the side of their employees, BUT THE 3 DESPICABLE MEMBERS OF STAFF WILL NOW THE TRUTH RACIST in a world that has moved forward and only those individuals who display such despicable actions are the ones who are victims of their own lack of efforts in life.Words of valuable advice to everyone, always book in advance and AWAYS book in City Centre hotels because the environment in the city centre hotels will always be reflective of the makeup of various cultural backgrounds of the City and they will utilise cosmopolitan views. They will always value the customer as opposed to outer city centre hotels that employ uneducated staff who lack the attributes in valuing paying customers.NEVERTHELESS the room was exceptionally brilliant and the bed was amazingly comfortable." +Hotel,Date of stay: January 2018,Europe,France,IledeFrance,unknown,Racist Policies and Very Overt,"I was quite shocked at the extremely overt racism in this place if you are a minority no matter how good you look , be prepared to not get the 100 treatment. You will only be treated at 80 and charged more than everybody else I called them on their ""mistakes"" on my bill and they seemed insanely upset that I noticed they were nearly charging me 200 more than my actual bill! And overall we were forced to dine in a horrible part of the restaurant i cannot recommend! They seemed to show that it was a favor to even be let in. Felt very unwelcome I wasn't even comfortable eating." +Hotel,Date of stay: October 2017,Europe,France,IledeFrance,unknown,"Rude, Racist Staff","This hotel is beautiful inside, but the staff is ridiculously rude and racist. My sister and I are Indian and speak French and we wanted to enjoy a coffee at the hotel. The hostess insisted on seating us in the dark cocktail bar which was absolutely deserted, while the restaurant and the lounge were empty. She claimed all of those tables were ""booked."" The waiter would not give us a menu for coffee in the cocktail den, instead insisting that they only had coffee, cappuccinos, and tea, and the next thing we know, the hotel seated a couple in the main bright restaurant even though they were only having drinks. I have never experienced such blatant racism. We immediately got up and went to the hostess to tell her what happened, and instead of apologizing, her manager just told us that she makes the rules. It was disgusting. We left immediately." +Hotel,Date of stay: January 2018,United States,California CA,Rosemead,unknown,"Poor service, additional charges and racist","If I could give 0, I would. For the past 8 years on travel, we have insisted on staying at a Hilton Hotel. But, this experience at Double Tree by Hilton LA Rosemead was devastating. Let's start with an AsianAmerican staff at front desk. He was very rude to my husband and I. A bottle of opened wine was found under the mattress, and then I realized that the housekeeper didn't change a clean sheet before we move in. However, this guy didn't really seem to care and act as if we were bothering him, he even said: ""You stayed here four nights and just found it this morning Why you guys move the mattress"" We were shocked by his astonishing response. The real issue is there is a bottle of opened wine in the bed, is the housekeeper didnt clean our room carefully. If my husband didn't drop his phone under the headboard we wouldn't be able to see the wine in the bed. Also we wouldn't know the fact that they didn't change a clean sheet before we move in. If we didn't happen to see the wine, Im pretty sure it will be there like forever.There was a huge mosquito or maybe a spider in the bathroom during our stay. I don't know what is it. It is uncommon to see any worms in hotel but we see here and the size of this mosquito or spider is too huge, more than one inch. Each time when we returned to our room, there is always some trash, such as empty water bottles, left in the room. On the third day, I returned to hotel after my conference in downtown, the room hasnt been cleaned yet. The housekeeper finally came around 4:30 pm. We asked her to come back a few minutes later, but she never show up. No housekeeping at all on that day. We talked with the lady who is in charge of housekeeping in the hotel. She said it is normal for housekeeper comes late. It USUALLY happens. But it is allowable for housekeeper not show up at all at Hilton chainWe also spoke to the manager over the phone. He was not willing to help either. His first question to my husband was:"" when are you guys going back to China He never met us, how could he possibly judge we are going back to China after the trip Under this situation, I don't think as a manager in this hotel, should ask us any question like this. Should he apologize for the dereliction of duty of housekeepers first However, the manager threatened me:"" you can tell everyone in the hotel you found a bottle of opened wine in the bed, he doesn't really care. "" The way he is talking is so arrogant, I can't believe this is how a manager in Hilton family communicate to his guests.So far weve been waiting here for almost 2 hours, nobody in this hotel is willing to help. I booked my trip with Expedia, customer service contacted them quite a few times but most of time they just ignore it. I realized they are not going to solve the issue and decided to end the conversation with them and checked out. What's even worse, we saw an additional 250 charge for room damage. The front desk said the housekeeper reported on 17th because of smoke, the second day since we moved in. However, no one ever said anything about the charge until we check out. What is the duty of housekeeper The duty of housekeeper in this hotel is no longer about keeping the room clean but looking for any evidence in the room that can charge client's additional money, therefore the hotel can get a quick revenue boost at our expense. Think about this, if the housekeeper was able to find any tiny evidence of smoke, why can't she see the wine in the bed, mosquito in the bathroom and empty water bottles in the room What's more, we were charged 31 for a movie which I believe it should be 19.99 plus tax. The California tax for a movie is 50 I feel doubletree in Rosemead is trying to make some extra money from us. Even though most of staffs here are AsianAmerican, unfortunately they are extremely unfriendly to Asian guests. This is the first time that we are being mistreated and look down by hotel staffs and manager. The front desk, especially the manager and the other guy I mentioned above, discriminate against us. Are they doing this because they thought we are tourists Are they doing this frequently to other tourists already Think about managers question: When are you going back to China You can tell anyone in the hotel you find wine in the bed, I dont care. Most tourists have no place to complain about, is that means their feelings are no more important to Hilton Family This is how the doubletree management team in Rosemead is taking care of the guests. Until now, nobody gives us any explanation for all of these and apology. My husband and I travel often and we stay with Hilton Family, but we really spend a miserable stay at doubletree in Rosemead LA.In the end, I want to clarify it really not about where we come from, what color we are, or who we are, we paid the money, so we deserve equal treatment and respect. Each client is the reason why you still have the job. Maybe you don't care about losing us, losing one customer, but think about this, how many clients have you lost in the past few years and how many clients you are going to lose in the future because of poor management" +Hotel,Date of stay: November 2018,Asia,India,Goa,unknown,RACIST STAFF,"Terrible experience at this restaurant.

Loved the location of this hotel. Went with another couplebooked two separate nights but had to cancel one due to change of plans. Cancellation window is one month out missed it by less than 24 hours. Booking.com even tried to convince this racist miser to refund us the extra night but he refused and quite rudely by tone of his emails. Fine. I accepted it as my fault. I did not, however, cancel it as I figured if he would not refund my night stay, no way was I going to let him make money on another booking. Well he did not like that. Yelled at me when I checked in following night. Also yelled at me because I tried to help young Korean woman who was attempting to check in ahead of me. She was alone, crying, and using an app to try and communicate. She was early 20s and so in over her head. He told me he did not appreciate that I did not cancel night before and that my help was not wanted with this young lady. Really I am a mom of daughters. I would hope that someone would try to console and reassure them if they had problem. The room was TINY not that we needed large room but not even space to open travel size suitcases. And like previous reviews stated toiletries and toilet paper left much to be desired. Next day upon check out was told again that my help was not appreciated and I was a ""typical American"" and to go back to TRUMPLAND!!!Quite honestly this host was by far the rudest I have ever encountered in my 50 years and the most racist.

The beach guy told me ""You came late. There are no more towels. Come tomorrow early""!!!!! No comment3. My wife's friend was wearing a diving suit a Hijab. The beach management asked her to get off the water. They told her she has to wear proper swimming suit. So what is a proper swimming suit A bikini A wetsuit was designed to get into the water. They don't like her covering her hair, this is called RACISM.4. The TV in the room is hanged in an unsafe position. My wife and I hit our heads hard. Even we had 2 visitors who had their heads hit because of the stupid position.5. At 12 pm I asked the reception to get me an extra pillow. He told me it's not possible because I am late. I have to ask in the morning.6. The next day in the evening, I wanted to pay so I check out the next day fast. The receptionist told me the finance guy left and I have to pay in the morning.7.

We had a very warm welcome and the room was good with pool view. Private beach with the decks is the definition of vacation for me any day and it's all well maintained here. People in the dining area were generally very helpful and throughout our stay we required some additional baby food to be made. They were very understanding and made all the baby food as we requested. Buffet had good varieties but the local food tasted better than the Continental they provided. It's a small resort and I wouldn't call it as a four star resort in terms of room and services. And what's with the racism. My husband and I were so amused at the way the dining staff neglected us when they were brownskinned themselves. We were not offered menu or coffee/tea at the table. It was like we were invisible when they promptly attended to white people. Lol. Some people do want to feel inferior based on skin color. You feel inferior all you want but don't think your customers are too. We are not staying for free in your hotel. I request the hotel management to educate the staff that no people are superior or inferior based on skin color or anything for that matter. It's high time to stop blaming white people for racism when they are generally very friendly with everyone. I would like to make a point that not all staff were acting weird but one or two, especially the ladies at the dining area. Other than that the stay was pleasant and I would like to thank all the kitchen staff who made sure to cook and provide baby food we asked for.

The only thing he would do, was try to walk me and my girlfriend up to my room, and then would not leave. He would look at us from a few feet away continuously, and it seemed like with the look on his face he was enjoying it a little too much. After what seemed like days, we were left alone, only to find out that we weren't alone, finding Moldy the black mold monster in the bathroom. There was enough black mold and bed bugs to fill Nick Searcy's basement, and we asked it to be cleaned up, two racist gypsies came up with one napkin. ONE napkin Illiterate Gypsy Cleaning crew.

The location, the view and the dcor of the hotel were definitely fascinating. Not the staffs and the services though.By checking a 5star renowned hotel in the world, you know what youre anticipating of. However, Im sorry to say that W Barcelona was a real disappointment. Some of the staffs were indeed quite helpful, but some were not. I did not want to put it this way, but were not certain if thats because were Asians, were treated quite differently.When we had breakfast at the caf next to the lobby, the guests in front of us Westerners were led and arranged with seats; when its our turn, were left on our own and had to find a table ourselves. When we intended to sit at a table resided nearer to the pool, with the guests just left but not set yet, they asked us to move to another table set with less decent view. OK, thats fine. But when another group of Western guests showed up and did the same, the staff let them sit there and served them well! I had no intention to associate this with racism but honestly, its very frustrating. I have never confronted anything like this with hotels ranging from 1 to 5 stars, but this time, W showed me.Since it was our first time in Barcelona, we sought for tourists information at the front desk. On the first day, the lady wearing a pair of optics was really sincere and helpful, but not really the case when it came to the rest of them. Some of the staff tended to rush all the information as fast as they could, then stopped and stared at us, gave us a feeling let they just wanted us to leave ASAP and did not want to lend us a helping hand at all.

We told them multiple times we didnt have key cards, however they ignored us and said that they dont care anymore since they gave out all the key cards as far as they know. We were like refugees, sitting along the hallway, waiting for them to provide us any key just to open the door to our assigned room. I had to go down and argue with the racist guy and asked him of any proof that they indeed released the key cards to us, which they did not have, thus he searched his drawer, and IT WAS JUST RIGHT THERE! He didnt even bother to apologize for the inconvenience we experienced just because he couldnt care less about us and didnt exactly tried looking for the cards. We waited for almost an hour!Second, we always had breakfast at the 5th floor as that was the common area where we can eat. There was a microwave there as well as a refrigerator. My friends and I just bought bubble milk tea and when we entered the hostel, just before we got to ride the elevator, this racist guy again stopped us and shouted NO! NO FOOD OR DRINKS UPSTAIRS! I then told him that we were going to the 5th floor, but he still said no. I was confused and embarrassed because there were other customers there. I asked him where we can stay and he said outside. I asked him again if we can stay inside because it was raining, but he didnt answer me nor even look at me. He spoke immediately to another customer without even answering my question. I was dumbfounded on how we were treated. He seemed nice and polite towards other customers, but not to us. Now, the funny thing is, we stayed inside and continued drinking our milk teas, until 2 other staff members came to us and apologized. They mentioned that they were still cleaning the 5th floor thats why we werent allowed to go up. They told us that we can go to the 5th floor now, and stay there. And so, we went up, and there we saw our other friends, whom we asked about the cleaning excuse that the staff members told us. And behold, it was not true at all. Our friends were there for more than an hour already and no cleaning happened. We were made to wait downstairs for almost an hour before they realized that we were actual customers that hate racism and are frustrated with their service.

It was 5:55p.m. the note said they would return at 6:30p.m. so being exhausted we waited there , when she receptionist got out her car at 7 pm. she had an attitude she knew she had 17 customers that had been waiting for Over an hour in 90 degree weather with no shade to get out the heat. We express our discontent to her, she again was very inconsiderate of us and everyone there. While waiting to check in, we were Speaking Spanish amongst our group, one the customers that was being checked turn to us and told us ...""This is America speak English"". She and the Manager whom was African American told us that we could not speak Spanish in the lobby, again saying that we are in America. The white guest told us to go back to our country, back where we came from. She was also very racist towards my husband who is white, because he was married to an Hispanic . This IS my country where all of group of friends were born and our country that we Love and Respect. We called the police trying to get our money back because the Receptionist refused to check us in. We have never been to such a poorly managed Hotel with Racist guest checking in and much less an un trained, very unprofessional Racist front desk clerk. I as well as my 9 friends will never ever stay at an Econo Logde again and only hope that the front desk clerk can be retrained to better service the Hispanic people, be retrained in customer service in all aspect of her job. The Econo Lodge should NEVER close the office during the time when most people are arriving after a long trip.

Historic qualities!Racist!I'm an opera singer, so if a composer had a coffee at a hotel, I want to stay there. This one had the Mozart factor, so of course I wanted to stay. The staff were INCREDIBLE, and I found one of the three other woman motorcyclists in Germany. She was completely sweet and lovely!The bar staff were a bit condescending and disinterested, but we're a middleaged couple, and we're from San Francisco, so we felt right at home!This hotel is clean, wonderful, and wellsituated. The loud football celebrations happened outside our window and, because the hotel is so wellmade, we could close our window and it was a quiet sanctuary.A quiet sanctuary with superracist iconography that I didn't notice until I went to use the restroom. I guarantee you that no person of African descent was involved in the rebranding that happened just a few years ago. The hotel name is one thing. The choice to use African caricatures is another, and recent. While I'm sure the hotel will say that it's not racist and that that's not the intent, this is a dangerously tonedeaf and typical of such a homogenous area white people telling people what is and isn't racist.If the hotel chooses to contact me, I prefer it to be by the staff member of African descent who was involved in the branding decision. Disappointing, but despite how wonderful this hotel is, I couldn't in good conscience stay here again. It's also encouraged me to add ""racist"" to my list of search words in finding a hotel; I only found one review that mentioned this.Kudos for a copy of the teachings of the buddha next to the bible.Breakfast was good." +Hotel,Date of stay: March 2018,Canada,Ontario,Peterborough,unknown,RACIST!!,"NOT FOR BLACK PEOPLE!!!!

At one point a female staff who worked the afternoon on Saturday March 24th, 2018 came to our room saying that a guest called to complain of noise however, she didnt hear any noise as she was walking towards us. We got kicked out the hotel in middle of the night because a White guest was calling one of our children Ignorant and was directly in her face. We went to speak with the guest and she blew in my partners face, Hotel staff came to the White guest rescue as if the guest was the one that needed protection. Police was called and we were asked to leave which the other White guest was not asked to. BLACKS and Racialized people should NEVER GO TO THIS HOTEL.

The service from the male receptionist and brunette was disgustingly rude. The blond man at reception actually asked me: ""What is it NOW!!!!"" in a really rude and irritated way when I approached the counter to ask for help about something. I asked for directions to catch bus and tram to the city center, and he gave me incomplete instructions. He rattled them off like it was a speed contest and he left out a lot of necessary information. I ended up waiting 20 minutes waiting for a tram that never came because of the lousy instructions, and spent 15 euros on a taxi instead. Another time, I had to walk 30 minutes to get back to the hotel because of the lousy directions and I got lost. Getting information about anything from this receptionist was like getting blood from a stone. For example, how to use the internet in the lounge downstairs there is NO FREE INTERNET in the rooms 10 Euros an hour in the rooms. He told me I needed a LAN cord and he was so unhelpful he didn't tell me they supplied LAN cords to guests. I was about to go out and buy a LAN cord, he was so unkind and uninformative. He seemed to want to get rid of me as quickly as possible. Also the brasserie is terrible. I ordered pasta and water. I paid 2 euros for a tiny glass of probably tap water and she didn't even bring the bottle. It was not mineral water. Then the pasta dish was so salty and I got food poisoning from it abdominal cramps and diarrhea all night. If you are not a German or European, you will probably be given terrible treatment from the arrogant blond male receptionist and the stupid ditzy brunette female receptionist who couldn't even give me instructions on public transport to and from the city. The blond FEMALE receptionist was good though; she seemed the only one who wanted to help. WARNING: Don't go here unless you are a German and have a car. You will be treated like a leper for asking questions and will pay through the nose for something like a glass of water 2 euros for a small glass 60 mls of tap water and no bottle brought to the table.. . It made me really upset. Lost tons of money catching taxis and spent tons of time walking around lost trying to get back to the hotel. Only good thing about the hotel is the park setting including a lake with ducks which is good for guests with pets but be careful there is dog poo everywhere I almost sat down on dog poo when I sat down on the grass in the park." +Hotel,Date of stay: June 2018,Europe,Greece,South Aegean,unknown,Rude staff read racist,"It would not be an exaggeration to say that this is the worst hotel I stayed at in my entire life. The only saving grace for this place was the port which is right across the street.From the minute we checked in, the lady at the reception desk seemed to be in a terrible mood. It was as if she was offended at the sight of us. Not easy to describe but we were definitely treated differently from other guests. To confirm our belief the same lady blatantly told our agent that she does not wish to have any Indians in the hotel! When we asked for towels, we were literally reprimanded to not dirty them by taking it to the beachP.S.we did not spoil or misuse any stuff. So that piece of statement was totally unnecessary Also, she was visibly irritated as we asked for fresh towels at 11:30 and the housekeeping staff wanted to give it at 12! I mean are we supposed to take shower at their convenience!!! Hahah terrible terrible terrible service. When we asked for a bottle of water to be sent to our room, it wasn't sent at all even after reminding twice or thrice. Apart from this horrendous experience, this hotel also does not have porter service or inroom dining service which is actually very important considering that it is located at a slight altitude thus making it uncomfortable if you are not in the best of health or have heavy luggage with you.When we asked for a glass of water at the breakfast buffet we were told very sternly that its chargeable. Ofcourse, no problem we will pay. Funnily, the same lady at the reception was very happily offered a glass of water to another guest even without asking because he looked tired.

Well let me start off by saying the beginning of our stay for Labor Day weekend started good, we were coming from LA and got there super early and was able to check in good the girl that checked us in was super nice and even helped us with downgrading one of the 10 rooms we had to a less expensive one per our request and got money back which was great!! On our 2nd day we went to the river so it was good but on our 3rd day the old lady watching over the pool was so rude to us she didn't want my daughter which is 18 to enter without an adult supervision, mind you she's 18 she is an adult well I got that taken care off besides the fact that the restrictions for the pool are beyond super stupid nothing at all like it says on their web site. That same night we decide to chill at a bar with live music LORI was super nice at the beginning, my nephew was dropping money like a real high roller in the tables as he comes across one he's playing good but a guy with a TRUMP hat sits in the table and tells the dealer that he will not play unless my nephew who is black was removed, yes removed so he could play, well unbelievably the dealer asks my nephew to remove himself from the table because he could not play anymore, after that they began to give him a hard time getting his money only because he was black, he told me what happened and he left upstairs upset, I decided to tell LORI our bartender what happened and ask who could I speak to she was cool and said oh my that should never happen then I mentioned he was black and her coolness dropped from a 10 to a 3 she said oh your nephew is black im sure he did something wrong to our dealer I said NO he didn't she kept saying yes he did they all act crazy sometimes, I said let me speak to your manager, I spoke to another man bartender and he right away took care of business and told me I will get you the manager ASAP because that's not tolerated here, I was sent to AUDREY the Pit Manager who was understanding and right away after mentioning my nephews name she knew who he was and had already crossed words with him after he had lost 2500 the first night, and did mentioned he had been betting a lot of money over the weekend and the dealer had no right to kick him off the table only because someone did not want him there, although Audrey was nice enough to hear us out and seemed she would take care of it, I didn't feel like a simple ""he can play anywhere he wants"" was what anyone in my nephews shoes would of wanted, mind you he had gotten 2 rooms there and spending money like a high roller at least an I'm sorry would of been good, after all she did say ""we do know he's betting high in our casino on every table"" main point: I will never stay here again they are RACIST RACIST RACIST we had 10 rooms there!" +Hotel,Date of stay: July 2014,Europe,Turkey,Turkish Mediterranean Coast,unknown,"Very very very dissapointing, rude/racist staff.

It does not make the serving any slower even if you choose the option of 6:30pm or 7pm thinking the staffs might want to finish off early and head home into the night. Thats the reason for a four star grading cos kaiseiki is meant to be enjoyed course after course at your own pace and. It dictated by the servers.Taiku performance at main lobby was met with enthusiasm drummers who arranged the guests seats, rearranged back, host the bingo game every single night. We were there for two nights and each performances were done with immaculate precisions and synchronisation. After the performance, Bessho Sasa guests were also given drink voucher to be enjoyed with a live piano recital at 9:10pm every night. That was unspoken by lots of reviews and management and its a welcoming gestures. Though we thought its only a one time coupons, the family were presented another set together with the breakfast vouchers each day. We thought thats good hospitality! Breakfast was briefed to be crowded at 0800 but only 50 occupancy in the large dining hall, choose the corner of the dining area for a majestic morning view of Mount Fuji!

An wonderful experience in Kyoto make up for their lackluster efforts in the tea house. Wonderfully manicured Japanese zen garden and a nature river at the back makes a beautiful backdrops to your holidays pictures. Theres a unmentioned open air tea garden where you can take pictures with a nice giant umbrella and a bold red cover on the seats making the dark and dull greens and backdrops a standup for your Instagram worthy pictures.Requests to use the shuttle service was a Breeze at our own personalised manned hotel desk on the fourth level. Names were submitted and driver were identify you though this service was not used frequently by Japanese who drove to the hotel. If you do see a Japanese man, hes always smiling and treated you as a distinguished guest even to the extend of sending you off at the lift. He works only 10001900 though.

For example, when we wanted to be served, the receptionist just threw his hand up at us and pulled a stern face an action similar that people usually use when communicating with their dogs. Yet, the following Japanese customers he was happy to serve with a smile.When we emailed the hotel about our experience , they would not acknowledge this at all. They stated they DO NOT have racist staff, and it was our problem for not understanding about Japanese food and culture.

He is a black man in his mid 20's. The owner had accused him of stealing the complimentary coffee and despite being told that he was a guest by his concierge called the police. In protest the concierge promptly quit and the cops couldn't believe that they had been called.

My experience at HomeBase Melville left me with a bitter taste in my mouth. towards the end of March we parked outside homebase Melville and I went up to the gate and rang the bell and asked if they have space but immediately was told that they were fully booked for the rest of the week. I Went back to the car and my wife then suggested we ask the manager if we could use the wifi to look for another place to stay or if he could direct us or help us call another backpackers to my suprise my wife who is a white woman was told they had accommodation plenty me being a black male realised the manager had told me they didn't maybe because i am black.We spent 2 nights there but only two as we felt uncomfortable after the treatment I had received from Bruce then I see another review has gone up about his racist behavior... i am not a petty person and was willing to disregard this as a persons Bad day.in fairness i will still give this place a five star rating, rooms were clean, pool, bar, wifi, receptionists were friendly and kitchen is wellequipped. Maybe the manager needs some sort of training, and having been robbed in sa already i can see why some establishments aren't willing to have locals. but it has to be handled better." +Hotel,Date of stay: April 2016,Africa,South Africa,Gauteng,unknown,Racist treatment by manager,"This was my fourth stay at Homebase and I have always enjoyed it but my last stay wasn't so memorable. I checked in and I was immediately informed by Bruce the manager that they no longer take ""locals"" but because I had paid before I arrived I would be allowed to stay. My friend checked in as well and everything seemed to be okay, besides the fact that Bruce was very indifferent when it came to my friend and I, he hardly acknowledged our presence and made it a priority to monitor our interaction with the other staff. On the Tuesday of our stay as we were in the kitchen preparing to make supper for that evening, Bruce abruptly informed us that he needed to cook for other guests so we had better speed along our cooking, bear in mind that we had not even started cooking, we were still preparing to do so, he turned around and told Kristy the other receptionist that he had to eventually put his foot down. My friend and I were both in awe because we did not understand what he was referring to as the previous night we had cooked pasta which had taken us 45 minutes to prepare and we had cleaned up afterwards. Bruce took it a step further and came back into the kitchen and monitored our cooking, standing behind us, hands folded over his chest and waited for us to finish up whilst continuously sighing audibly. Bear in mind that my friend and I were gone as from 8 am till about 4:30 in the afternoon yet everytime we came back to the hostel we felt unwelcome. It got so bad that we started contemplating staying somewhere else because of Bruce's treatment towards us. What further upset me was the fact that he would monitor our interaction with the other black staff and make us feel guilty for merely conversing, another thing that really upset me was how he openly disregarded and humiliated the black staff at Melville, he would openly criticize Chenai in the presence of guests, he then also accused one of the cleaning staff of theft after the staff member submitted his resignation in which he attributed one of his reasons for leaving was Bruce. My friend and I were not the only people who complained about Bruce's racist treatment towards them, two other ladies that had checked into Melville a day before we were supposed to check out also complained about Bruce's racist behaviour and intolerance towards black people. I emailed the owner privately to inform her of this but she is yet to acknowledge my complaint. So if you are black and thinking of staying at Homebase I would suggest you don't as Bruce made it quite clear that he is not tolerant of black people, I would honestly suggest you look for somewhere else to stay as you will be quite unhappy and you will be made to feel as though you are a nuisance despite adhering to all the rules and settling your bill, Bruce and his equally racist son will make sure that your stay is horrible. Homebase Melville was such a better place when Vaughan and Jason were working there, the atmosphere has changed totally now that Bruce has become manager. To show his intolerance towards black people, he informed me that both my friend and I were barred from every staying at HomeBase and when I enquired as to why he could not give me a straight answer as I informed him that I had transgressed any of the rules at HomeBase nor were there any complaints from my fellow dormmates about me but he took it upon himself to forbid me from every stepping foot at HomeBase. This was quite a disheartening and saddening experience." +Hotel,Date of stay: January 2013,Africa,South Africa,Gauteng,unknown,"""Racism, Apartheid in 2013...Shame""","The place had the feel of a rehabilitation facility not that I have ever been. I stayed at the backpacker for 3 days. We paid our fees on time, and cleaned up after ourselves. As an African American I have had to ignore ignorance, but never on this level. Upon departure, my father asked if he could stay another night. I was positive it wasn't going to be a problem... surprise, surprise. The head manager claimed that the rooms were entirely booked, even though the place was entirely empty when we were packing. When I confronted the manager, he condescendingly drilled me with a series of personal questions. I was disgusted, angry and hurt. I talked to a gentlemen who later told me that they don't like to do business with ""blacks.""

Avoid!","My husband and i had initially booked 3 nights and were taken to a very small room. We asked to be shifted to a bigger room with additional cost as we were planning to stay for 2 more days. We were given a twin rin on 4 th floors. Beware there is no lift so had to carry the bags to the 4 th floor. We knew that it was a budget accommodation so i won't moan about the quality of the room and bathroom.This was the worst accommodation i have ever stayed in in last 3 months traveling through South East Asia or even other parts of Thailand. On the second day of my trip I gave the key to the reception before going out for the day. When returned back at night the guy at the reception was rude to me and blamed me for losing the key. The next day i went through the cctv footage on the receiption area to make sure whether i had or had not lost the key. The footage was not clear one way or the other. The guy at receiption at the time said that i must have dropped it as the key ring was quite lose. We agreed that he will cut a new set of keys. For days my husband had been complaing that he was being bitten by some insect am over his body. We thought that it was mosquito bites till i discovered bed bugs in the room the day before we were to check out. My husbsnd rang the reception to report about it and ask if they would give us another room. Twice the guy hung up on my husband and finally he sent the cleansers to check if there were any bed bugs. We were shifted into another room for our last night there. When we were trying to check out the same rude guy who is at the receiption at night asked us to pay 500 baht for the keys they already had that amount as deposit for the keys and 450 baht for our room which we had to pay. We told him very nicely that 500 baht is too much to cut a set of keys. We were ready to pay for the keys even though it was not proved that we lost the keys. He kept shouting that it's the hotel's policy. We again vertu nicely told him that it'snot fair that he wants us to pay 500 baht. He got very aggressive and started shouting and kept saying, ""you leave from here you swear word go back to India and not England"" my husband and I are both British of Indian origin.There are lots of accommodation available next to this hotel at similar price." +Hotel,Date of stay: August 2018,Europe,Italy,Lazio,unknown,Holiday Inn Rome Eur Parco Dei Medici,We stayed at Holiday Inn Rome Eur Parco Dei Medici and it was a group.

After several pleas they fixed this issue.On the first breakfast of the stay the coffee shop staff began frantically exclaiming how we were Indians and we were to sit outside. This was being shouted in the middle of the coffee shop in front of tons of people. When we asked meet the GM, the staff claimed we couldn't reach the gm because he was on his weekend off. Finally Monday came and we complained to our staff in the middle of our tour manager writing frantic emails. The GM promised that the issue had been taken care of. We entered the coffee shop to take our breakfast and again the racist frantic shouting of Indians needing to sit outside began. When we protested and informed the staff of our discussion with the GM they began to wave their hands and walk in other discussion being extremely polite to others but being extremely rude to any Indians. When we called the staff and complained about our dirty cup, she came to our table and banged the cup and saucer and came back later to bang a spoon.We visited the GM to complain about this reissue and claimed he had no control over the staff because they were outsourced. Then we guided him to the concerned staff and she outrightly refused to take responsibility of her job, again shouting. On a lot of insistence from the GM she pretended to rudely apologize, still shouting in the middle of the coffee shop as if it were some favor to us.On tweeting about this issue the IHG says they're unable to reach the staff and have left a message and they'll get back. How is this racism continuing without checks in this Italian Hotel nobody can understand. Will definitely never visit this group of Hotels in the future." +Hotel,Date of stay: April 2015,Europe,Italy,Lazio,unknown,Not family friendly,"Lets be clear what is being judged here. Room quality is good and so is bathroom. I dont really have much else good things to say about this hotel. Location is very poor. This hotel is only good for people who want to stay close to Fumicino Airport. If you are flying to Ciampino or any other airport, its quite difficult to get here. Let me tell you something more about location: there is no other restaurant nearby. So you end up eating at their restaurant which is very unreasonable food vs price, especially if you have children. They have this thing called ""children eat free"". I was visiting with my family. I asked for free children deal and the response was that I need to eat three/four course meal at 40/50 euros per head then children can eat for free. Like most other family person, I dont allocate this kind of price for each meal. Anyway, you end up buying adult main meal for children which is around 20 euros per head. Food was not tasty as well. Children menu only has two meal: spaghetti with tomato sauce and the other with mince pork. Breakfast is reasonable and children eat for free. However I didnt go after just one breakfast. Very few/small choices and boring food. I dont want to pay 16 euros per head for very limited choices of food.One of the main reason I chose this hotel is because of the swimming pools. They advertise by saying two swimming pools. I will call only one of them as mini swimming pool. Other one is about the size of a small fish pond. The mini pool was dirty and with cold water which I suppose is only good for FEW hours a year. The hotel I suppose would be good for business visitors and are visiting nearby engineering companies like tecnip etc. This is not suitable for family, nor it is suitable for rome sightseeing. I did not feel secure at this hotel. There was no safe at the room either. So I ended up taking my wallet at the sightseeing trip. There are pickpocketers everywhere and they target all new visitors. As I was a victim of crime at this visit, I ask you to be very careful. You are very likely to lose wallet at the metro. Police is not doing anything to help, which leads me to believe that some are profiteering from it as well, at least some of them. The path that leads from the hotel to the station is dark and isolated. I did not enjoy walking via this road after spending days in sightseeing. STaff is reasonable but needs some lessons in customer service, racial education etc. I am not going talk anymore in this topic.As a visitor of Rome for three times in last 15 years, I ask you to be near to city center. Toilets in the city are virtually non existent and the bar ones are very dirty etc. So if you stay in the inner city ones one can be a nearby hotel for comfort and also you can somewhat avoid using metro etc. I guarantee that you will enjoy your trip better. Also you have time to explore and eat at various bars / restaurants which offer good food at good price. Wifi is also badly advertise. Very poor signal." +Hotel,Date of stay: August 2014,Canada,Ontario,Northeastern Ontario,unknown,"Enjoy Mountain View Resort's scenic beauty on Manitoulin Island, Ontario, Canada for a tranquil getaway!","My family and I love coming to Bob and Peggy Hildebrandts Mountain View Resort on beautiful Manitoulin Island every year! If you want to enjoy a restful vacation away from the trappings of technology and stressful city life, Bob and Peggys Mountain View Resort with its spectacular views of pristine Lake Manitou is the perfect remedy to help you unwind.I'd like to address some negative reviews left by three previous guests that won't likely be allowed to stay at the resort ever again I'm sure in which they accused Bob and Peggy of rudeness, racism, and unfair rules.The false accusation of rudeness: One guest stated that the Hildebrandts offered a fire pit on the resort's private beach, but then these guests were denied use of the fire pit. That was due to the fire ban that was being enforced on Manitoulin Island at that particular time due to extremely dry weather conditions that greatly increased the risk of fires spreading into the heavily wooded areas from sparks and flames. When there was a fire ban in place, Bob and Peggy had no choice but to comply with those regulations and it's disappointing that those particular guests had no consideration for the safety of their hosts, other guests, or islanders when Peggy very clearly and courteously explained the conditions of the fire ban to them.The false accusations of racism and unfair rules: Another guest accused Bob and Peggy of racism which is utterly petty nonsense since nothing could be further from the truth. The Hildebrandts enjoy having guests of all races, colours, and creeds and race has never been an issue. The key though is guests have to be respectful of the hosts and of other guests on the resort. Ive found that those that obsess about racism and accuse others of racism are often racists themselves. Its not racist to enforce a fire ban in place, to ask guests to not throw rocks in the lake or in the dock area, to ask guests particularly children to not stand in boats used by other guests, to ask guests to kindly sweep and tidy their cottages before leaving, and to maintain some tidiness outside of their cottages for the benefit of other guests and the hosts trying to attract additional renters.Apparently, these three guests and/or other members of their family became so obnoxious due to not being able to use the beach fire pit and having to comply with some simple rules that other cottage renting establishments ask of their guests that they repeatedly paced around the Hildebrandts home and rang their doorbell hundreds of times to harass and intimidate the Hildebrandt family which is not an intelligent or civilized way to behave, least of all when one is a guest on a resort.Sadly now and then, Bob and Peggy have had to put up with some very spoiled entitled guests that are unwilling to respect a few simple rules and instead they prefer to make false, wild, irrational accusations against their gracious hosts.So, to sum up, I highly recommend spending a week or more at Mountain View Resort which will certainly help you feel refreshed. Remember that respect is a twoway street and Bobby and Peggy are always willing to make their guests stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible as long as their guests' expectations are realistic. The Hildebrandts are wonderful people and their cottages are some of the cleanest and most comfortable ones available on Manitoulin Island. Cherish your time there and have fun like my family and I have every single year! Thank you so much, Bob, Peggy, and Katie! All the best from Jon Hammond." +Hotel,Date of stay: August 2013,Canada,Ontario,Northeastern Ontario,unknown,Stay Away from ruining your vacation!!!,"Hello,I would like to let you know that our experience at mountain view resort was shocking.

The front desk is extremely prejudice and racist against Black people. My significant other was treated very distasteful. I came off the elevator and the lady at the front desk was speaking to two other white guests , I stepped outside and forgot something so I came back in and proceeded to the elevator she then said Where u going Me being totally confused I was like excuse me Im a guest here. So we went out and came back the lady at the front desk was in my room and went through my personal items. Then I had someone who was driving me come to pick us up and she told him he cannot wait in the lobby and to step outside. My significant other asked her what the problem was and she then said to him dont ask me anything!! At this point we were beyond confused. I went up to my room to get ready she then called the room and ask for someone to come to front desk immediately. My bf went down as I was still dressing he then calls me to say that her husband who works there as well said and Im quoting I dont care and check out immediately and that the lady at the front desk said my bf harassed her when my bf said to him well u have cameras check to see if I harassed her. He didnt care at all. I then came downstairs with my luggage and I put the key card on their desk the man then threw the key card at my bf head and proceeded to curse racist slurs at us. It was truly horrific and disturbing to see that in 2018 you cant even get peace of mind. I wont advise anyone to stay there. They are UNPROFESSIONAL and their service was in no way comforting. I dont like making things about race but I couldnt see any other reason why they would treat us so poorly and the racist comments made after he threw something at us makes it more so." +Hotel,Date of stay: November 2016,Asia,India,Rajasthan,unknown,Worst of the hotel a RACIST owner! Beware,"I was travelling along with my younger brother and a friend to attend Pushkar fair. After reading through reviews of quite a lot of budget hotels, I chose hotel moonlight. As the owner ""Joshi Ji"" says that ""Ask anywhere in Pushkar about him, that he is so well known. true but for wrong reasons."". After travelling from Delhi to Pushkar for the entire day, we were excited to find the hotel and check in the room. To our surprise we were asked to remove our shoes and the owners brother ""Vikram the most rude person I have met in the hospitality trade"" banged the door on our face saying that we have to keep our hotel clean so stay out. He was busy with some disastrous incense sticks in the lobby which is dark and gloomy like any ""RED LIGHT AREA"". He said there is a booking but of the next day not the day we reached which was a blunder made by him and the owner. He wasted our 02 long hours in arguments and was not even apologetic. I looked for another hotel and asked him to offer a complementary dinner to us. The owner moron Joshi agreed and asked for our favourite dish to be prepared. We simple asked for good food and no such special arrangements to be made. After visiting the fair, we went for a dinner at his hotel and Vikram said ""Are the guests Indians or foreigners"" He dos not entertain Indians and is a racist.. Again as he misbehaved, he back stepped saying ""I will not provide you with the dinner"" which is more than the cost you have paid"". Please beware of this hotel and the owner.

Still, this hostel has a very dirty kitchen, a rundown appearance holes in all the shoji/paper doors, doors barely move, and just gives off a shabby feeling. Feels like young guys hanging out there, and financing their hanging out by barely managing a hostel.While I might have been there at the wrong day the staff who was there said he's only filling in once every two weeks, my experience in this hostel was awful. Short version, hostel staff unable to provide instruction for parking, then unable to get me past a racist parking guard.Long version. Across very little to no English, I finally got a room booked which was not ready yet, fair enough as it was before official checkin time. Then I tried to park next to the hostel, there is a very big city owned parking for 300yen/day, which is very cheap. The parking guard obviously doesn't like Gaijin, and just didn't want to let me enter. Lied to me and sent me around the block searching for another parking. I got the staff to translate, guard said I can't park here because it's election Sunday tomorrow, but there's another parking for the same price more lies. I drove around with the hostel guy in my car, he finally had to admit the guard lied. But he didn't want to confront him about it. I asked the hostel guy if he knew another parking which is not too expensive. No idea. Asked him if he can call anyone who knows. Stammering, but no action. So I finally let the hostel guy run, and parked the car for 100yen/20min, went to the hostel, talked to Japanese traveller who HAD parked his car there, but didn't want to talk to the parking guard either. I talked to the hostel guy again, he finally said all people usually park there, and that the parking is not guarded over night. So I parked there over the night. Left early. Came back for an errand, parked at the side of the road, the parking guard comes running, ""600 yen! Yesterday 300 yen! Today 300 yen!"", he obviously saw my car on the parking lot. So I tell him that he should let me in next time, and I will gladly pay then. He doesn't understand English, I don't understand Japanese. He's trying to keep me from leaving, by force. When I get in the car, slams the windows with his fist. He's also 2 heads shorter than me, 15 years older, wears glasses and is intellectually challenged. Can't hit that. His guard friends stand around, do nothing, and want to be elsewhere. So I open the window, try to shoo him off. At this point he's shouting ""No! No! No! 600 yen! No!"". Crazy. He starts grappling again. I've had enough, shake him off, drive off under blows against the windows and threats. I stop at a traffic light, think about it. It's 6 bucks, and he's got my licence plate. Are the police going to be fair to a foreigner I drive back, tell him what I think of him in my native language, and want to pay the 600 yen. He seems somewhat remorseful for completely losing his Japanese public face, leads me to the hostel, the guy in the hostel not the one the day before has obviously paid him the 600, so I now have to give HIM the 600. I tell him the story, but he has nothing to say, really. Obviously still too afraid to say anything that could lead to conflict with the parking guard. I understand you need to keep up Tatemae. But the parking guard didn't, and it was clear for everyone to see that he was just racist. To then NOT do ANYTHING about it if you're hostel staff and you have paying guests, that's not Tatemae, that's just cowardice and bad service." +Hotel,Date of stay: March 2018,United States,Ohio OH,Worthington,unknown,"Racist, Front Desk Clerk or General Manager! Hope Tina is not the owner","I stayed in this hotel last month. I booked for 3 nights under my employable discount. Once I got to the hotel ready to check in, I was ready for bed. I was told that I am not able to stay there because this has to be for BUSINESS ONLY!!! WHAT YOU are so wrong. I have stayed as a choice employee many times. In town and out of town. I am manager at a near by hotel.. She did not know that. I have a personal relationship with the owner of my hotel and Senior VP of my hotel. So called both of them very upset and explain what my issue was and they were also upset. As I explained how this front desk person treated me and this front desk persons reaction to my explaining that she is racist she the front desk person did not defend herself at all to say she was not racist. I called Choice and explained my issue. After 2 calls to choice and being the lobby standing up and being on hold while they try to convince this ignorant women to allow me to check in and tell her she is wrong for thinking that you can only use yor Choice employee discount if you are on business.. which I know she knows this already she allowed me to check in. By the way the front desk persons name is TINA!! Tina then cancelled my 2 other nights without even telling Choice or telling me. I had to asked her. Tina is very uneducated and unprofessional. Not to mention she was dressed like she was a person off the street with jeans and a loose tee shirt on. I will never recommend this hotel to a homeless person to stay. Id rather stay on the streets then to ever feel the way she made me feel on this day. I have never had racial contact in my face like it was on this day!! I did stay here because I work in the area and needed to get back to work that night. NEVER AGAIN!! IF YOUR ARE BLACK NEVER STAY HERE!!!" +Hotel,Date of stay: March 2018,United States,Ohio OH,Worthington,unknown,Worst staff I've ever encountered!!!!,"My friend was racially profiled at check in. We had a reservation for a room for 2 nights, booked at a discount because I am also a Choice employee. First time I booked the room the GM cancelled it without any kind of provocation! I checked my reservation the day before I was supposed to check in and it had been cancelled for absolutely no reason. I booked another room, and upon arrival was told that I would not be allowed to check in because my friend is not a fellow Choice employee!! I have had many friends and family stay with me in my Choice employee discount rooms, I have NEVER been told I couldn't have a room because of the person I would be sharing it with. We ended up leaving and going to a Quality Inn down the road, where the front desk agent told us that they are notoriously racist people. My friend who was checking in with me is black. I fully believe we were denied a room because the awful woman working the front desk is a racist. I have NEVER encountered a staff of people so incompetent, unhelpful, and rude!!! DO NOT STAY HERE! I have never felt so disrespected as I did talking to the staff at this motel. STAY FAR AWAY!!! " +Hotel,Date of stay: November 2016,South Pacific,New Zealand,North Island,unknown,Abusive racist manager,"Stayed here with my partner and child, and received truly the worst customer service I have ever encountered. Sue is abusive, hostile, racist, and bigoted. Reading through the other reviews here and on Facebook I can see Im not alone in my experience. Dont book here and fund this horrible women and the way she chooses to behave. Her husband can do much better!" +Hotel,Date of stay: April 2015,South Pacific,New Zealand,North Island,unknown,THE WORSE PLACE EVER!!!!!,"I would never reccomment staying at this place. It's the worse customer service!! I felt so abused and violated of my human rights. Do not stay at this place. Because the owners running this place are absolutely racist. We arrived into Wellington Porirua this morning after a long 12 hour drive from up North. Unfortunately, where our church group was booked up the road was fully booked. So me and my partner were forced to find somewhere else to stay. Due to the large conference happening this weekend, it was hard to find something available. I called Belmont lodge, a man answered and sounded very polite on the phone. I asked for a room for two nights and two adults, so he then continued to reserve the room, I then added Im checking in my family to a different motel but we will be in shortly to finalise our reservation. We arrive to the motor lodge, and female her name was Suzie comes out of the office and says looking at me up and down, can I help you I say to her, yes I called about the room earlier. Out of no where with not even asking, she says we have rules of guests staying here, and I then say that's fine. My dad will be paying the room, and she says there's a bond. I continue to say, I will pay the bond. She goes on to say all this information, in the meantime my dad says his going up the road she abrupts says to me. She has decided to refuse my booking, and not allow us to stay. I then say why, she says because she has the right to refuse me and my partner staying there. I said to her in shock are you being racists. She says no, I then said, are you always this rude I will make a formal complaint. Not to mention I am heavily pregnant, and she just right denies me the room because of the way I look and the fact I said I would pay the room and bond separately. I said we want to stay here and you've just said you will not allow us. You must be rasict because you can't me an explanation of any sort to why you will not allow us to stay here. She led on to say, she wasn't racist but still couldn't explain why she refused the room. She made me feel like we couldn't afford the room, and we were hooligans and were out to ruin the room but yet we were only standing in the reception area waiting to confirm the booking. Racist or NOT, I felt violated and abused especially being someone of colour who is 6 months pregnant who just needed a room to sleep in to rest after a 12 hour drive. IT was only me and my partner in the car who needed a room as my parents and all our friends had booked out the Mana Motel. I couldn't believe in all my years, the treatment I was receiving from this lady who is the owner Suzie. She could NOT once give me a clear explanation why she refused my booking on the spot. I have witnesses to prove this behaviour of this lady. My parents couldn't believe the she denied me a booking considering how nice and calm I was being to her. NOT ONCE did I swear or yell at her. All I kept repeating was the truth ""why are you being rude, why are you being racist and why are you refusing a booking with no explanation""....To be honest, from looking at the other bad reviews of this lodge, is seems like a common factor in the bad reviews. She clearly has customer serivce issues. She shouldn't have a lodge in Poririua even she doesn't accept the kind of population Poririua has. My experience was the worse in all my years!!!! I will never stay here again!!!" +Hotel,Date of stay: July 2014,South Pacific,New Zealand,North Island,unknown,WORST EXPERIENCE EVER,"On arrival I said ""hello"" and the lady rolled her eyes and pulled a disgusted look behind my back my sister and niece saw while I was going through my bag for the booking reference. While checking in she was very clear of the rules which is fine, mean while I advised that we were visiting Wellington to attend the NZ Womens Basketball Championship at Te Rauparaha Arena. At the end we enquired about how much it would be for a bigger room but was given the price and decided against it. We walked to our room, on the way grabbing two extra towels. 5mins later we had a knock at the door and she said ""We have a problem here, I don't believe there are only two people staying here"", we explained that indeed there were only two people staying in the room and our three family members who had come with us to check in already had accommodation in Stokes Valley and we were simply 'relaxing' before the game in two hours 3pm after walking and training from Wellington City with our luggage. She then questioned why we needed extra towels and we explained it was because we were going to have a swim at the Arena after the game, she said we weren't allowed to take the towels offsite so I asked if she wanted them back but she kept accusing us of trying to sneak extra people in, it was only 1pm and she did explain that we were allowed visitors until 9pm but no matter how much we explained the situation she wouldn't let up. By now my sister who saw her pulling faces behind my back had had enough and responsed sharply to all the questions and accusations she threw at us, she then suggested we move on because she was getting attitude. We must of been having this conversation with her for 10mins repeatedly justifying ourselves, she went on to insinuate that we couldn't afford to stay at such places and after the reception and such comments we decided to leave and get our money back .....For the fact I do stay at such places several times a year, mostly always for sports trips and I have never experienced anything like this. Later my sister told me what she did behind my back and I now believe it was because I'm brown and she's racist!!" +Hotel,Date of stay: January 2019,Caribbean,St. Lucia,Gros Islet Quarter,unknown,Racist General Manager,"I have contacted Hilton corporate headquarters and have an open case against the racist General managerThis is a 'piggyback' review from the experience of fellow traveler 'jeansolme' who has attested to the egregiously racist tirade of the General Manager, Jean Pierre.Let me preface this review by stating that this would be a 5 star review had I not experienced first hand the actions of the white RACIST, rude and intimidating GM of the Habour Club ; his name is Jean Pierre and incidentally, he is a new hire, being there for less than one month. I am in communication with Hilton headquarters in the USA, where I reside to submit a formal complaint.The residence, staff and services at the resort were all excellent, aside from the GM. The wonderful staff excluding the RACIST GM even called me while I was on the way to the airport, to return my wallet which contained several hundred Euros, as I had forgot it when I checked out. I could not have asked for a better staff, services and accommodations except, of course for the General Manager.As previous guest jeansolme stated, the incident on Saturday, 26 January 2019 sadly showed that the racist General Manager improperly targeted the bartender, named Hamilton a professional local St. Lucian who did not deserve this improper treatment.Let me describe my experience:On the morning of Saturday, 26 January 2019, I had a lovely breakfast with my friends local St. Lucians at Julia's restaurant in the hotel. Perfect service. Upon return to my room, I requested that Hamilton the bartender, bring up to my room one cocktail and a bottle of water. He brought the items and also assisted me with the television which was not properly functioning throughout my stay and then exited my room. Approximately 5 minutes later, the General Manager, who I now know to be Jean Pierre, a white French man, aggressively knocked on my door with another security man. I was packing, in my bathrobe and was quite frightened. I am a solo woman traveler and I take my safety very seriously.This GM was a complete bully and demanded to know where the bartender was. I was shocked at his demeanor and boorish behavior. I told him that the bartender had left and I had no idea where he was. The GM was so aggressive that I feared for my safety.As I mentioned, I am in communication with Hilton headquarters in te USA. I have never in my life experienced such horrible behavior from a GM. I will keep you all posted with the results of this investigation." +Hotel,Date of stay: February 2019,Asia,Sri Lanka,Central Province,unknown,"Racist, unprofessional staff","We were here for a lunch meal. Recommended by our tour agent for some local cuisine, we were totally sold off by the most beautiful location this place has to offer. The floor manager, who was also in chefs clothes, was the most unprofessional hospitality guy I am yet to witness. He misguided us in understanding the portions and composition of Rice and Curry meal. When we wished to understand the pricing quoted on the bill this dish isnt even mentioned on their restaurant menu, he behaved in the most unprofessional way, pointing fingers while talking, rude behavior and not hospitable at all. We felt cheated. The food, not authentic as well. They used a continental fried fish finger preparation simply dunked into a local curry. A waste of time and money. And the staff is a total downer. " +Hotel,Date of stay: December 2018,Asia,Sri Lanka,Central Province,unknown,"RACIST, untrained and rude staff","Visited this place on two occasions:1. For drinks: We had to seat ourselves and were not welcomed nor greeted. After 15 minutes, no menus offered and our presence was not acknowledged even though two waiters saw us in full view. My partner had to fetch menus for us; however we walked out after we were blatantly ignored by two more staff members. 2. For lunch:After entering, we were told to sit anywhere. After seating ourselves again, no menus were offered again and we were asked to move to another table which was located in a muddy grass patch. When we refused, the waiter shouted and responded rudely. At the same time, a white family arrived and again, better service was offered including being chauffeured to a table and provided menus. My partner asked to see the manager and we were told he's ""outside"". We asked that the rude waiter apologise for his behaviour but was refused a simple apology too. There was an obvious difference in service offered to white and nonwhite customers which was potentially the most frustrating part of the experience since we're all darn paying customers. Don't be fooled by the seating with lake views. Better service can be offered by the food stalls at the lake side.EXTREMELY PATHETIC! AVOID THIS RESTAURANT UNLESS YOU ENJOY BEING TREATED LIKE CRAP!" +Hotel,Date of stay: March 2016,Asia,Sri Lanka,Central Province,unknown,Racist place,"This place gives priority to only the foreigners and discriminates locals. The waiter took a long time to take the order and treated us with a donotcare attitude. We wanted to see the chalets with the hope of coming back, but they refused to show it. The menu was average." +Hotel,Date of stay: June 2018,Europe,France,IledeFrance,unknown,Rude and racist staff,"During our one night stay in this hotel we were treated so badly by the staff it got to the point of being comical. The members of staff were frequently making racist comments towards our group calling us stupid english people and muttering slurs under their breathe in French not knowing that a lot of us actually speak the language.There was no hospitality at all. We had a check in time at 1pm and had to wait a further 30 mins to collect our key cards, which of course was fine. The lady came and and gave half of our group the keys and said there were no more rooms and we would have to wait until the evening. She wasnt apologetic in the slightest and looked like we were just a massive inconvenience. When we arrived back at the hotel at midnight ready to collect our keycards and go to bed when the lady said they key cards hadnt been programmed to our rooms yet. 20 of us were waiting for another hour to finally get our key cards, 12 hours after we were suppose to check in. When we finally were given key cards half of them were for rooms that were double booked and some of the group walked into people in their beds! Personally it took me a further 2 attempts to go back to the incredibly rude lady at the desk to get a room, however some of my colleagues had to try four times.The three rooms I saw were okay, would have been better if there were less strangers belongings and strangers in them.This is by far the worst service I have ever encountered. In the short time we were there it was actually pretty impressive how rude, racist and unprofessional the hotel staff were! If I could give 0 stars I would." +Hotel,Date of stay: October 2018,Middle East,Israel,Northern District,unknown,Staff are rude and racist especially the woman supervisor in the cafeteria.,"We were at this restaurant as a group. The quality of the hotel is extremely poor. Filthy carpets no space to move around the rooms. Shower stalls were on concept with water all over the washroom floor. What's worse the tall woman who supervised the cafeteria was racist and rude. When confronted seemed to just laugh it off. With her attitude, she is more fit as a prison warden rather than in an hotel cafeteria. Many in our group noticed how she treated some clientele from European countries with added courtesy. Even the hotel manager was introduced to the European clients, however when she pointed to the leaders of our group he rudely waved his hand to say he was not interested and walked away. My review will also be sent to Purple Orchid, the organizers of our trip. We do not pay good money to be housed in cheap lousy hotels like this one. And oh, by the way making clients stand in a long line up to make their own coffee with just one coffee machine is absurd." +Hotel,Date of stay: July 2018,Europe,United Kingdom UK,Wales,unknown,"Rude, aggressive and a bit racist host","The hostel itself was ok, but the host is the worst I have ever encountered. As you can see from the reviews on here, which she only responds to if negative, she is somewhat aggressive and invasive with guests. Her response to the other review from our group is both inaccurate and lying. One of us ordered linens before we arrived none of us afterwards. It was me that she picked on from the moment we met. When I walked into the kitchen she immediately made fun of the fact that I still looked a little tired and worn out, which is strange seeing as I had just showered. Two sentences later she starts staring at me and says 'somebody owes me 3 for bed linens.' I looked for some money, but didn't have enough and stated this. She keeps staring future note for when you read this: it is polite to say at that point; It's ok, just make sure you give it before you leave. and just stood there saying nothing. After getting the cash of the other members of the party I looked at her whilst putting the cash in her hand. One coin dropped by mistake and she was still staring at me in a discomforting way then says 'thank you, to which I looked her in the eyes politely and said 'you're welcome.' Somehow she took offence to this and retorted 'Of course I am, I do own the place.' Not wanting to get annoyed by her demeanour, I decided to go and stand in the other room to remove myself from the tense atmosphere. She then followed me and some other guests there and started a very patronising lesson about the recycling which was not needed considering the number of signs explaining this. As I was not feeling in the mood to respond to such behaviour I didn't neither did anyone else in the group. This is when she got very strange, putting on a slow and deliberate accent and stating loudly 'DO YOU SPEAK ENGLISH' I was absolutely shocked by this behaviour and even if I was not a mixed race individual it would still be racially offensive. From what I can understand looking through other reviews and from the other guest in our party, you don't take to criticism well. With that in mind, I ask that rather than use negative energy trying to send abusive emails to me, to call me or even deny things on here, take one of those 1000000000 Bibles you have on the property and read the sections on respecting your fellow humans regardless of who they are. You have a few things to learn in this area. " +Hotel,Date of stay: July 2018,Europe,United Kingdom UK,Wales,unknown,You will need to put up with rudeness and possibly racism,"So long as you keep contact with the owner to the absolute minimum, you will surely enjoy your stay. The location is very convenient and the facilities are ok. The place is clean enough with an acceptable amount of resources compared to the average hostel in the UK and I have been to many. Unfortunatley, you will not be able to avoid the owner completely so you may well be better off paying a little more for a friendlier place or paying less at the campsite.You would be more likely to find Stella's attitude and communication style in a prison than a hostel. She was cold, condescending and strict right from the start. It is understandable that a hostel would need certain rules, but the emphasis that she places on them and the severity ascribed to them are very odd indeed. Another reviewer said that she is respectful if you respect her, but this did not hold true in our case. She came at us with a confrontational attitude right from the start despite our politeness. She seems to have the impression that she is doing guests a favour rather than them being paying customers. Here is just one example from moments after she met us, whilst we were cooking breakfast, hungover: Stella: Give me the 3 for the bedsheets now.Guest: Ok, hold on, here you go.Stella: Thanks.Guest being polite: You're welcome.Stella stern tone and smirking: Of course I'm welcome! This is my place.A short while later, she did a racist impression:Stella: asked a question once which I cannot rememberGuest who is clearly not white: no answer as he did not hear herStella Indian accent and tilting head from side to side: Excuse me, you speak EnglishMe utterly shocked: Don't be racist! Stella got in my face and smirked: Aww, you're sensitive aren't you It's not racist.This of course set off a big argument in which she would not accept any responsibility for her rudeness. Trying to ridicule someone white or not with a stereotyped foreign accent as if they are stupid is apparently not racist in her book. I guess the Katie Hopkins fans out there may agree with her. But, even without that label, it was incredibly rude and aggressive.Luckily, despite her disgusting attitude, we managed to have a great time. That does not say anything about the hostel itself though." +Hotel,Date of stay: August 2018,United States,Pennsylvania PA,Pittsburgh,unknown,This place is racist!!!,"I attempted to stay here and the front desk person is so rude! Not only was he rude but he is also racist! He hung up on us when calling to ask a question. He need fired!!! His name is Sing. I am not sure if I spelt his name correctly. At first I thought it was just me but after reading the other reviews, there is NO doubt in my mind that he is racist!!! NEVER STAY HERE!!!!" +Hotel,Date of stay: February 2018,United States,Pennsylvania PA,Pittsburgh,unknown,Didnt even make it through check in,Me and my fiance were waiting on my cousin to pay room and the man said we could wait in lobby until my cousin could pay then after he realizes were lesbians he decides to lie and say there are no more rooms left and threw us out in the snow we had to get a church pastor to pay for us a lyft to a different hotel plus the lobby smelled like urine to me bad . I dont recommend this hotel to anyone plus they kept turning away white people who checked into I saw the whole thing they are racist and sexist at this place and they let kids play on hotel computer and at desk and dont even watch them they run around screaming every to seconds and the workers stop and stare at you when your on the phone . +Hotel,Date of stay: August 2018,Asia,India,National Capital Territory of Delhi,unknown,"Worst hostel ever, racist dishonest owner","I went there with my boyfriend, we had booked on booking for a final price and they asked for more taxes later. When we arrived, at evening time, we decided to stay despite the fact that the place looked substandard. It looked like an old lady was making money by renting rooms in an illegal place it is not registered / bounded by Indian laws. The place is dirty. The bathrooms are not clean. The room was ok for one night but not worth its price.She asked for us to go out to make copy of our ID, which is normally her duty. She gave and had no receipt for the payment we did on our arrival. She kept asking where we were from, how long we knew each other.We had finally been relaxing for 10 minutes when her son came into our room to ask for more money, pretending he had to pay some commission to the website. It was a complete lie, just a way to ask for money he knew it was late to find a place for the night or make us get out of there, as he said racist things against my bf to his mother saying ""he will do bad things"" and that foreigners were not allowed to stay with Indians in his place, and more nonsenses and racist attitude.Very dishonest. Super bad attitude. Bad place with no good environment. Illegal.Don't ever go there." +Hotel,Date of stay: May 2016,Asia,India,National Capital Territory of Delhi,unknown,Best place in Pajar Ganj,"Man, what a place. The family here has been taking care of their little slice of Pahar Ganj for 40 years, so they know a thing or two about the business. The old lady who runs the place goes by Mamaji, and she will definitely treat you like a mother while you are here.I moved from another hostel nearby, Kuldeep Friends, because this place was just so much more superior.First the cons. For me, these didn't make much of a difference, but for others it may, depending on your lifestyle. They do not have attached bathrooms, the bathrooms are separated from the bedrooms by an internal courtyard bring your own soap! But they have towels for you. The bathrooms also contain squat toilets, so if you have weak knees, you're in for a challenge.I've been drinking the tap water located at the sink in the courtyard haven't gotten sick so far, it's been a week and a half, but if purified water is something you're adamant about, you'll need to buy some bottles of it in the road next to the guest house.Those aspects aside, I cannot think of any reason to not stay here if you're visiting Pahar Ganj or Delhi. The metro rail is a 10 minute walk away, and you are 3 minutes' walk from the main street of Pahar Ganj where you can grab rikshaws and autos local taxis. Transportation to the rest of the city is no problem whatsoever, the location is good enough for that.There is no food served the kitchen is mostly for the family who maintains the place, but you're in the middle of Pahar Ganj! There is so much food just on the street right outside, including a veg dhaba across the street with decent prices 110 rs will net you two dishes and a couple rotis, enough to enjoy a filling meal at the end of the day. There's lassi stands, a couple bakeries one Indian and a couple Western or ""German"", a fruit stand nothing beats a plate of watermelon for 20 rs, all cut up and fresh, and a few Bengali/Assamese restaurants if you crave seafood. If none of these local places meet your fancy, you're a walk away from the main street where there are more places to eat, including a Subway.Smoke stands are also right outside, and you can grab some bottled water at these places too. If you're looking for a place to drink, there is a cheap bar Sam's, happy hour is until 5:30 in the afternoon near the main street of Pahar Ganj, a 3 minute walk from the hostel. It's also a great place to bring friends and to use as a meetup location.The open courtyard is wonderful to sit in and read, smoke, or chill with other guests. You can drink as well beer, and there are a couple thekas, or alcohol stores, up the street from the hostel. It's easy to grab a little something and bring it back to your room.A big plus for this place is that Mamaji is very open about having visitors and guests over. I have a few friends who would like to regularly visit me from around Delhi, and the fact that they can come for five minutes or five hours, hang out in the courtyard or in my room, and even sleep over if they need to, is very liberating. Pretty much every other hostel or hotel in Pahar Ganj, Much less the entire city of Delhi, explicitly prohibits guests and friends. Some are racist even against other Indians and don't allow Indian friends or guests to come visit you. And nearly all are sexist on top if it and especially won't allow any local female friends to come visit. Yet these same places take female foreign guests and allow patrons to have foreign female friends over. It makes no sense to me and disgusts me, the double standards one finds in Delhi hostels and hotels.But Ever Green is DEFINITELY not at all like that. Mamaji is cool with everyone, true to her Sikh creed. And it's that aspect of her and her hostel that I think stands as a testimony to what kind of place you will be living in and what kind of people you will be dealing with by coming here.For your spiritual needs, there is a masjid and three to four mandirs within five minutes of the place. Not sure if there is a gurudrawa nearby, but Mamaji is Sikh so she will know I'm sure.So for the decent rooms for the price offered 300400 a night, the wonderful location with plenty of dining options around, places nearby to grab water, alcohol, medicines, toiletries, and the absolute 100 freedom you have with guests and friends coming over is why I must wholeheartedly recommend Ever Green.P.S.: the place does have free wifi. They shut it off around 11:30pm the router is located in Mamaji's room and she goes to sleep around then and it usually is back up by 9am, but that's enough wifi during the day. If you're here as a tourist, your days ought to be so packed that you'll doze off by midnight anyways!" +Hotel,Date of stay: August 2018,United States,Florida FL,Central Florida,unknown,Racist employees here!!,"We arrived late in the evening of august 15th, I was curious because when we arrived we found a family that was having issues with the price, so we had to wait about 20min because all the employees were trying to fix this situation with the family even though they have 2 spaces for check in and out and did not pay attention to us. But here comes the story Weeks before our arrival I called the hotel twice and ask them if there was any charge for packages, to females told me that there were no charges for packages unless they arrive a week before my reservation and that in those cases they will charge a fee per day on each package. We finally started with the check in and I asked them if they already had my packages I got two delivered by that point and I was shocked when they told me I had to pay from 10 to 20 dollars depending on the wight of each one Even more than the cost of the item in one of the packages I told them I called to confirm and here is where everything started this people has no idea of how to treat customers, they show me a sign that was inside the hotel that described the charges and I kept trying to explain them what I was told over the phone. The lady decided to call another guy that was there I assume it was the manager because it was dresses different than the others he is the most racist and rude person I have ever met, I felt very mistreated about his tone of voice and his body language he even make fun of me when I was trying to explain him the situation and did nothing to solve the issue, not even apologize and instead offered me to go somewhere else If I wanted to. I can tell you that if my reservation wasn't already paid by then and an earlier time I WOULD DEFENETELY would go to another place. The fact that this hotel is a low cost hotel does not have nothin to do with the way I am expecting to be treated and It felt horrible to be in a Foreign country visiting and to be treated in this manner, I think this is horrible for Rosen image and I am hoping that you can take actions about this. Hopefully I did not see them for the next days, but I do regret a lot that I didn't ask for their names. The day we check out we did met a guy named Chris he was the only person in the reception who actually treated us with respect and was actually very nice, if it wasn't for him I would be even more dissapointed about the people they hire in this place." +Hotel,Date of stay: December 2018,Africa,Kenya,Coast Province,unknown,Great facility but poor services,"I stayed at the hotel for 5 nights and the hotel did not live to expectations, despite the beautiful pictures on their website. Housekeeping services were below par, the towels were yellowed and smelly, the bathrooms were also not clean and the bath mat not changed daily despite being wet. The rooms were only swept and floor not cleaned sometimes. The hotel wifi is erratic and remained so, the time I was there. I resolved to using my data bundles out of frustrations. The meals were not to expectations as well and were not that tasty, I think they had overstayed in the freezer. The hotel run out of essential food such as breakfast most mornings and one morning we were told the supplier was late. This meant we missed our favourite food. The bar service for all inclusive did not include popularly taken drinks and we were left with limited options or going back to our pockets to enjoy our favourite drinks. We felt that the facility was outstretched by all means; staff, food including utensils, our last night for dinner we had to wait for other guests to finish their meals to have free plates. Staff did not seem motivated and I sensed racial discrimination, which is improper in this day and age. Overall, the hotel services are rated mediocre." +Hotel,Date of stay: April 2017,Africa,Kenya,Coast Province,unknown,DISCRIMINATIVE RECEPTIONIST,"I went with my partner to look for a room for our Easter holiday at the hotel, despite the facility being highly publisized, we found the receptionist to have rude tendencies and she wad racially unconcious, She first told us there were no rooms at the hotel only for a manager to confirm later, there were room. That is after hours of waiting," +Hotel,Date of stay: April 2018,United States,Texas TX,San Antonio,unknown,Horrible Racist employee,"First of all I only stayed at this place because every where else was booked. The employees was being racist, something NO child should go through especially as a family trip!!!! The employee male looked right at my son speaking to him in spanish that there were NO restrooms. Very rude, my son dis not even ask for a restroom actually we had just walked in for a reservation. The room was filthy, the headboard had obvious fingerprints/handprints. We did not shower that night, i went ahead and stayed elsewhere at the last minute. The tub was disgusting with mold and I made it clear to my kids not to touch anything!!! We tried our best to get to that room late so that we can just get there and fall asleep since it was very gross!!! This is our first and last time we will stay there, I dont care how bad I need a room, I will rather stay to sleep in my own vehicle. It all started with the racist male employee there!!!" +Hotel,Date of stay: July 2015,Europe,Germany,Hesse,unknown,AWESOME PLACE! BEST EXPERIENCE!,"Do NOT believe the ONE terrible review from a 1time poster on Trip Advisor! I am shocked to read that negative review because I found the owner to be caring and helpful and interested in me as a guest. And coming from Japan, there was ZERO hint of racism!! The owner actually Googled my city in Japan and made comments and asked questions about Kobe. She was genuinely interested in where I was from! Her daughter is a teacher in Germany and she told me about her and asked about schooling in Japan. She was the most helpful hotel owner/manager of my entire trip in Germany for almost 3 weeks! I am the FIRST person to pick up on racist things when traveling and there was NOTHING racist here. I have around 140 reviews in August 2015 and not all of them are rave ones. I will post a few negative comments about my Germany trip but nothing bad about the Grimmelshausen Hotel.One example of kindness that I witnessed was when two men who were not staying in the hotel wandered in at about 10 a.m. and inquired about having breakfast there. I knew that the owner/manager had plans that morning shortly after breakfast and I could tell that she hesitated at first but having good businesssense, she invited them in to stay. These two men were Spanish speakers so I am not sure if a racist owner would be so interested in Japan and then so kind to two Latin men non guests who showed up 5 minutes before the end of the breakfast time meant for hotel guests. She welcomed them and chatted with them just as she did every day with all of the guests in the breakfast room! The breakfast selection was very good and they offer to cook eggs to order like other hotels. I am pretty sure that I finished all of the homemade plum jam in 4 days from the 2014 harvest. The bread was fresh and delicious! I am guessing it came from the bakery across the street but don't know for sure. The meat cheese selection was also great. I spent 4 nights here and I had a double room for single use. I found the room to be very big and very very clean. I am from Japan so I am used to smaller accommodations. The room was NOT expensive and I had a flat screen TV and a room safe! This was the only hotel with a room safe during my trip. The bed was fine. Nothing luxurious but I am not a great sleeper so I shouldn't say too much. I do think it is odd that seemingly ALL German hotels do NOT put a top sheet on beds! I need to have my feet tucked in at the bottom so it was hard to get used to a blanket on top of a mattress and just a fitted sheet. That was in EVERY hotel though. The bathroom was BIG and very very clean. And the towels were great for this type of hotel in this price range. I had towel issues in my next hotel so looking back, the towels here were like the Four Seasons, comparatively. The housekeeping women were friendly and kind too. Always sincere greetings which felt like home. The manager/owner also called me by name from the first day. This was the ONLY hotel where someone did that in Germany. That is the type of service that I received when I stayed in the Four Seasons in Dublin, Ireland or other 5star hotels in the past. The Japanese Yen is not as strong these days! :The owner also suggested great daytrip ideas to me when I was looking to leave town for the day or half day. And she would ask the next morning about how my trips were. Budingen was an easy half day trip and I highly recommend it. It is a beautiful little town only a couple train stops away if you are not driving. I was traveling by train and I managed to find the hotel without a problem. It was only about a 10minute walk and convenient for my two day trips. I did it with a medium sized suitcase and a rolling carryon bag and it was not too taxing. The hotel is just at the start of the hill so just when you start to regret the walk and question why you didn't take a taxi, you will see the hotel on the right. A sure relief.Fulda was my fullday trip and I enjoyed that city a lot too. It was further but the train ride was scenic. I wouldn't go there on a Monday if you plan on seeing the inside of the palace there. Monday was my only free day so I did it and there was still plenty to see without that museum. The Grimmelshausen Hotel cannot be beaten for such good rates and service. Almost forgot, this was also the best hotel for free wifi. I had so many problems in my other Germany hotels with the alleged ""free wifi in every room."" The owner also recommended a great cafe for CAKE! So grateful for that suggestion! I went there twice and wanted to go a 3rd time but didn't have time. : Pretty garden in the back where you can sit if you don't mind chainsmoking people blowing filthy smoke in your face. The inside has great seating too." +Hotel,Date of stay: May 2015,Europe,Germany,Hesse,unknown,Dirty rooms and racist owner,"The Building looks nice from outside, typical histortical view of the town.The rooms and furniture are rather aged and the bathrooms are not really clean.We met the owner, she did not make us feel welcome and made inappropriate comments.Honestly I would not recommend this place to a friend." +Hotel,Date of stay: July 2016,Europe,Spain,Valencian Country,unknown,"Good view, big apartments but unfortunately very racist people ","Looking for relax and enjoy time with my family we decided to book this apartment.

Definitely will not recommend for tourists ""non Spaniards""." +Hotel,Date of stay: October 2018,Europe,Switzerland,Canton of Bern,unknown,"Fantastic location, let down by soso restaurant and arrogant racist staff","Had it not been for actions of staff that utterly ruined our last night, the Giessbach would only have been marked down a star or two for its shabbychic well, shabby, frankly, but in a charming way decor, and a heating system that's centrally controlled which fried us as we were unable to turn it off as it's ancient Victorian, or Belle Epoque given it's not in the UK. Opening the windows the only way to cool down as the radiator literally could not be turned off or even down meant I was badly bitten by fearsome mosquitos, the scars from which are still with me after two weeks!.Locationwise its stunning as many have pointed out, the clockwork funicular down to the lake is charming, the waterfall energising, the lake view from our window was fabm and the October air was rather pleasant even if the narrow, windy road up and down seems like a death trap to those unused to alpine mountain etiquette.But no .. on our last night we were sat behind a shockingly arrogant Germanspeaking couple whose parenting skills didn't extend, it seems, to taking a continuously screaming/squealing infant to bed, but rather sat themselves in the restaurant for over an hour inflicting the howling on their fellow guests. The couple next to us paid and left after their starter, taking their nearly full bottle of wine upstairs, it was so unpleasant. We asked to be moved reasonable I thought as it was early, we had booked in advance for a prime, waterfallview seat which would have been easily let out after the familyfromhell left but no, all we were offered despite a nearempty restaurant was a table right next to a noisy Chinese group of 12. As my wife is ethnically Chinese, this looked to us like a racist putdown by the sneery maitre 'how dare you complain, look at what we have to put up with from these noisy people' I pointed out a quiet table behind a wall, but was told that they filled the restaurant in sections over the evening, and that area was not being filled yet. The maitre's arrogance was defended up by the restaurant manager, so we paid up and went up to reception to complain. Despite some attempts at conciliation by staff especially after I emailed in a complaint from my room, picked up by the general manager, we left the hotel very disappointed. I spoke to the general manager by phone a few days later from home he had been on holiday in Italy during our visit but although apologetic he was irritatingly slippery.Indeed the whole experience put a disappointing spin on our entire stay in Switzerland I'm a great lover of Germany and German culture, but Switzerland as a place seemed vacuous, moneygrubbing unfriendly and arrogant in comparison to visiting some of Germany's wonderful historic places. Happy to take Chinese money, but not to treat Chinese as people. How dare we complain! This is The Giessbach! I doubt I'll be back in hurry to Switzerland and as for the The Giessbach well the location will always guarantee custom but I urge potential guests to be cautious about when they travel and to take no nonsense from arrogant, borderline racist staff.

There seems to be almost zero attempt at upkeep and maintenance even on a major health and safety matters rusted nails protruding from beach umbrellas, derelict exposed electric switchgear, broken fittings in the room and bathrooms, waffle iron broken since last December in the dining room etcStaff are openly racist. We twice had waiting staff serving us drinks walk away mid way through pouring drinks as they ran towards instead welcoming cacucasian guests. The eggs station staff served us burnt fried eggs and the very same day while serving an elderly German guest they were properly served on a tempered frying pan.The food for vegetarians was almost entirely carbohydrate based. Potato with potato was a common theme. You couldn't make it more obvious that you're trying to keep it cheap.Staff in the hotel generally treated us as if we were being done a favour. It's one thing for a place to keep things cheap but another to then allow staff to have a dismissive attitude towards its guests. Some of the bar and waiting staff were however above average.

My wife is from a wealthy family in Madagascar and took me to this resort thinking that I would love the experience of a pool side villa and beach. I'm an American from Texas and now living in Dubai. The service at the Restaraunt was horrible. The waiter refused to give us a table we desired, for both the dinner and then breakfast. At breakfast he didn't give us a menu. He asked ""what do you want!"" Rather rude we thought! Then we ask for a menu and he brings us just one. We finally gve up and asked for a different server. He comes back and makes up a story on how all the others are unwilling to serve us! We were shocked and walked into the managers office for help. He walks out with us starts to defend his waiter against our complaint on how rude he was. He asked are you still hungry and want to eat breakfast, to which my wife replied in French... Yes we are hungry, we have no other choice do we! The manager responds with... ""Talk to me with respect because I'm the Director here amped if you don't like our hotel then the door is wide open!!!!"" oh my god we were in shock!

Lack of security.,"Inout Hostel is located 16 minutes out of town, on FGC S1 or S2 line. I overheard management, talking in Catalan, making racist remarks about guests staying there. They had no idea, I understand Catalan. An ethnic waiter working here, was observed also discriminating against English speakers. A Brazilian man touched a girl while she was sleeping in her room, making her feel afraid. Inout took 2 days to kick him out. When he returned a few days later, they checked him in for another night, and placed him in a room with girls. ZERO SECURITY for women. Smoke alarms are covered in dust and DO NOT work, especially in rooms above restaurant, and in restaurant itself. This hostel appears to attract unstable, old men. I DO NOT recommend Inout for solo female travellers, the atmosphere is creepy. On the plus side, some of the reception staff are awesome, esp the Mexican lady, but their brilliance cannot compensate for what is wrong with this hostel. The management are lazy and racist.

In spite of prior arrangements that had been made for our group to partake of the hotel's evening buffet dinner, our group was provided only a small table away from the main buffet that was set with inferior food. We were told that we would be allowed only one serving of each item. When our tour leader complained that this was not what had been agreed to and that we were being treated like second class citizens, the hotel manager began to yell and very publicly berate our group. Needless to say, this was incredibly embarrassing for all of us. I can only surmise from the noticeable disdain written on the manager's face that Asian tour groups are not welcome in his hotel. Beyond the poor treatment received in the dining room, I should note also that the music in the hotel bar was noisy and went on well into the night. Rooms were poorly appointed.

No hang out place for traveler except the kitchen so forget about cooking 13. No group activities and tours. 14. Heater was controlled by the main desk and thermostat is impossible to adjust 15.

This was an inappropriate racist hotel management view, as the problem lay with a worn out computer keyboard, rather than it being a French keyboard.When the complaint was referred to the hotel General Manager, he surprisingly backed up the Duty Manager and responded in a condescending racist attitude to the nonFrench guests, as well as blatantly faiing to resolve the customer service complaints.

Because of his medical issues, he could not detect the smell. The next day, he developed a severe headache and I checked in next day in the same room. As soon as I walked in I smelled the room. It was like mildew and mold and poop. It had a disgusting smell and later my son and daughter also arrived and smelled the same odor, because it was so late at night we tried to stay in without reporting it. The next day I found myself with a strong headache, and we went to complain, but the clerk Chad was very rude and defensive. He questioned us when this smell started to occur, indicating that I made the smell. On 4th night we stayed, the alarm clock all the sudden turned on at 12am in the middle of night even though we never set it, I guess some people In this motel did something to it. While we were away on errands. I had to mention that cheap old junk alarm clock did sound so horrible that it almost made us have a heart attack. Also for some reason the soap dish inside the bath tub will light up at night behind the wall, it surely creeped me out. The manager, Steve Bovaird was also very rude when we tried to reach out to him, and he said to me, a Chinese immigrant: ""You people make your own problems"", referring to the stink in the room with his bully like manner. This was our nightmare hotel experience, I felt discriminated, and labeled in this place. Just stay away from this motel, to all my American friends.There was a lot of ugly laundry hanging at the balcony rails, very disgusting.All my Chinese and Asian friends, all immigrants, I advise you stay away from this horrible, racist place.

I checked into the Motel in Tallahasse Florida the day before my family arrived ahead of FSU graduation of our daughter, this went from what was suppose to be a joyous occasion to the nightmare on North Monroe Street. The room smelled like a combination of Vomit, Urine, feces, mildew, and mold. I was expecting my family to arrive that night but they were delayed until the next day. I have no sense of smell due to a medical condition and the management should have not taken advantage of me and rented room with no carpet and a bathroom with no tile and floors striped to bare exposing the wood. When the rest of the family arrived the next day they noticed the smell right away but as it was the day before graduation in a college town everything was booked so we stayed the next day in the room as well myself and my wife had terrible headaces from the rooms conditions while my brothers room dd not smell and had carpet and tile flooring. On the morning of graduation we asked to be moved and compensated for the horrible condtions Chad at the front desk said he had to check with his manager to ""confirm"" the rooms conditions and would move use to a different room after graduation. Chad was a very disagreeable fellow, after we returned from graduation he did agree to move us and did not immediately agree that the room smelled only after repeated questioning in a nice mannor did Chad admit the room had a horrible odor. Chad offered us a 50 discount on the room 131 for one night, when my wife and I insisted on additional compensation and after much back and forth Chad agreed to comp the room rate of 175.00. On the morning we checked out my wife and I went to the lobby to get a credit for the day before as well since I have a host of medical condition and did not detect the unsanitary smell in the room since I was by myself. When we went to the front desk the clerk got the general manager Mr. Steve Bovaird. Bovaird came barreling out of the back office as soon as he heard my request for credit for the first nites stay in room 131 of 227.92. He refused to give us any more credit My wife then stated "" you should not have rented this sick room to us"" He attacked my wife and like a gang member and did nothing but yell at us he looked at my AsianAmerican wife Bovair pointed his finger at my wife "" You people caused your own problems"" I interceeded and told him he cannot talk to my wife like that. We were farce to face and and the next thing he said was you people need to leave so he was throwing us out. Screaming the whole time. Bovaird exhibited obvious racist intentions and La Quinta needs to separate themselves from Bovaird. We also believe the managemnenbt set our alarm to go off at midnight to drive us crazy and get us to leave. Do no ever stay here at this flea bag hotel.

Management has a lack of desire to work with mixed couples and deactivated key cards after the first night on a 2 night 3 day stay." +Hotel,Date of stay: October 2018,Asia,Japan,Shikoku,unknown,Large hotel with extremely rude and racist lobby staff,"The hotel is located near the harbour and is a good 30minute walk from Takamatsu Station. The easiest way to find it is to take the Kotoden train from Takamatsu Station to Kataharamachi which is just one stop away. Then, once you reach the station exit, you veer right and you then soon reach a larger street where you turn right again and then just go straight until you see the hotel in front of you. It is a large whitecoloured building with a blue sign displaying the name in Japanese only as in front of which there is a large car park. You go left to reach the entrance above which the name is displayed in English. Inside, the lobby is huge with a lot of seating and a series of drinks vending machines and a large reception desk. I dealt with several reception desk staff and they were all without exception totally unwilling to communicate with me at all in Japanese and refused to answer every question that I asked and refused to acknowledge anything I said in Japanese even though they cannot speak English. They can only make oneword utterances consisting of meaningless words such as ""this"", ""name"", ""up"" etc. Refusing to speak Japanese in Japan is just ridiculous, totally unhelpful and extremely, extremely rude. I found it extremely uncomfortable to deal with the staff at this hotel and there were no polite phrases or bowing at any time and no thank you for my custom or goodbye at the end.The room I had was on the 9th floor and overlooked the harbour so that the view was very pleasant. It was a small single room which was over 6000 yen a night on Agoda which I booked only because it was the only hotel left in town with affordable rooms during a Japanese holiday weekend. Now, I understand why it was the only one left. My preferred hotel, Takamatsu Century Hotel, was full where I usually stay. That is an excellent hotel where the staff are courteous, helpful and friendly.My room at this hotel was quite typical of any Japanese hotel with a carpet on the floor, a long desk, a TV which does have real television programmes on it and not just video on demand like at some hotels, a fridge, teamaking facilities, a telephone, torch, clothes deodoriser, hairdryer and a real wardrobe for hanging clothes. Night dress was also provided. The bed was quite comfortable with no protruding springs. However, there was boy car racing going on until late into the night when all I could hear were racing engines and screeching tyres which prevented me from sleeping much. The air con temperature in the room could not be regulated. You could only adjust the fan speed.The bathroom is also typically Japanese located in a cabinet with the usual small bath tub, wash basin and hightech toilet. Shampoo and body wash are provided as is a toothbrush with some toothpaste and plenty of toilet paper plus a couple of towels.I did not have breakfast at the hotel, but, you can have breakfast there between 06:30 and 09:30 for 1,030 yen, if you so wish. I had breakfast inside the arcade at Gasto which can cost as little as 299 yen and they have all sorts of different breakfasts. Check out time at the hotel is early : at 10am.Since most Japanese hotels are quite similar, good customer service is quite important. However, the customer service at this hotel is horrible, if you are a foreigner as you get treated like dirt. I felt extremely uncomfortable and intimidated by their racism. For that reason, I am giving this hotel an extremely low score and I would never even consider staying here again. It must be one of the world's rudest and most racist hotels." +Hotel,Date of stay: June 2017,United States,North Carolina NC,Wallace,unknown,Dirty Lake and bad customer service,"My and my friends went to the lake and they guy didn't even greet us he just looked at us like he didn't want us to be there in my opinion kind of racist, also the lake was extremely dirty i got sick that night after going to the lake and had to go to the hospital never going back." +Hotel,Date of stay: March 2016,United States,North Carolina NC,Wallace,unknown,The most racist experience,I am a 32 year old well educated black man with a wife and 2 beautiful children. I took my family on a camping experience and let it be known that this was my children's first camping trip. I was approached by a group of white mean and told that this wasn't going to happen. When I asked what they were referring to they said this mixture. The next morning I was on my way to talk to the property manager when told that my stay would be terminated. I asked the reasoning and was told I didn't need to know and that we needed to part ways. When walking around the property I began to notice nasty stares rebel flags and racist slurs being thrown my way.

The hotel is very easily walkable upto Rialto Bridge/ St. marco Square or any other part for that matter You require a GPS / Offline map to travel through this city. These areas are also well connected by water vaparitos at most hours of the date. The hotel immediate area is not having any bars or restraunt but at a walking distance of 10 mins.Venice is one of the expensive cities of Europe, and hence for the price i paid, i would have better taken some other hotel.Room:We were offered a very god room and it immediately charmed us. The walls were cladded with cloth and was very precisely concealed at joints. The room had a very royal feel and all the furniture aligned in line to maintain the theme.The room does not has any kettle or coffee maker. The hotel policy does not allow you to eat anything in the room. for people addicted to bed tea have to beg to hotel staff to get hot water and make tea of your own. Carry tea supplies as they won't give anything before breakfast starts at 8:30 AM.WIFI was disruptive and as per them they had informed the service provider to fix it.It would only work in the reception area.Bathroom and Bathing experience:The bathroom was marble finished and also had a royal theme. The Bathroom enclosure was a bit small and did not give a pleasant bathing experience. The bathroom was also less ventilated.Hotel StaffThe front desk is managed by Mr. modi During the day and Mr. Norman during the night. Mr. Modi is a polite gentleman and is very impressive with his email skills. Mr. Modi also gave a very descriptive information about the city as we arrived and was kind to keep our heavy suitcase to the room as well.Mr. Norman is on toes to help you during the night.Please read special note for the Hotel staff being racist in ""Special Comments of my review below""Breakfast:The breakfast unusually starts at 08:30 at this hotel.I did not eat in the hotel. I was not treated well and was made to feel like a bigger.Please read special note for the Hotel staff being racist in ""Special Comments of my review below""Swimming Pool / Gym / Spa:No, Not at all. its tad small hotel.Special mention:The Breakfast lady who serves breakfast is an Englishwoman and is really a racist. We had a tour at 09:00 Am and for that we had to leave hotel at 08:15. The breakfast unusually starts at 08:30 at this hotel. We requested for a packed breakfast. After some discussion with Mr. Norman, a sandwich and boiled egg was shabbily packed in plastic bag. Later in morning, we figured out that we can spare 15 mins from 08:15 to 08:30 in the hotel and have our breakfast sitting in the restraunt.On requesting the breakfast lady which arrives at 08:05 or 08:10, she refused to use the restraunt area from which we just wanted a corner to sit and eat like humans. She told me that breakfast items are not ready. I asked that we can eat our packed stuff but in a proper way, but the next excuse she gave was that she has to wear the breakfast dress and get ready.Further, they do not allow to eat in the room, so what they expected from us was ""Take your packed breakfast and get lost and eat this on street not here"". I was really disappointed and felt being a victim of racism. For tow days of my stay i did not had breakfast at this hotel.I would urge if you can book the hotel without breakfast and instead explore much more beautiful places in city to have breakfast at.On informing the incident to Mr. Modi, he took side of the hotel. Also the hotel owner lady was present, but Mr. Modi also like a machine kept saying as per hotel policy the breakfast starts at 08:30 am only and further speaking in Italian to the Lady Owner. Again felt being a victim of racism. I being travelled to over 60 hotels in 20 countries understand what i am asking for and i also do not go overboard to make my requests.One more astonishing fact was that Mr. Modi told me bluntly to report this issue on TripAdvisor. In general the hotel listens to its guest carefully and tries to resolve. His attitude and way of speech made me feel ""go get lost and go report on trip advisor, do not bother me"". Also, when i came down on day 2 and asked him if he knew about the breakfast incidence the previous day, he acted innocent whereas he was updated by Mr. Norman and had an idea about the things. I feel somehow Mr. Modi is also not keeping to his job perfectly and is biased towards things maybe because of his pressure situation handling powerI would never stay in this hotel ever again and urge you not to be a victim of racism as well." +Hotel,Date of stay: May 2018,Europe,France,ProvenceAlpesCote d'Azur,unknown,Disappointing experience with a shockingly rude host/owner,"Our experience here was very poor to say the least. The biggest red flags that should steer anyone clear from this property include a racist owner who verbally assaulted us, an unprofessional operation lacking staff and basic hotel services such as access to waste bins, room cleaning, general assistance, and a laundry list of unspoken rules and expectations that are not communicated to you beforehand. When you break any of these surprise rules you will then be scolded like a child, and subjected to belligerent diatribes, locked out of community areas, and denied basic hotel requests such as the need for an additional towel, ice, etc. In addition, there was no access to WiFi, even though its advertised as an amenity on their booking site. The antagonistic temperment of the owner, however, was completely unacceptable, and quite frankly appalling. You will notice some themes in other travelers reviews, which we experienced as well: a confrontational host exhibiting verbal aggression, pettiness, rules made up on the spot, and punishment doled out for not following these rules. Guests generally feel unwelcome and uncomfortable when confronted with her uncontrollable temper, and ultimately not surprisingly disappointed in their stay. I agree wholeheartedly with the other travelers experiences, and wished I had taken the time to do more research before booking our stay here. The uncomfortable feelings aside, by far the most upsetting part of our stay was the racism exhibited by the owner. She referred to my partner an ""uneducated European"" dozens of times during our stay because he is Turkish. For example, when we told her her we werent aware her policy of no outside food and beverages including bottled water in the privacy of your own room she condescendingly responded, Educated Europeans are aware of these things. For the record, my partner has a PhD in economics. The way she treated him in particular was very hurtful and sad, and its unacceptable in this day and age to encounter such an ignorant individual, especially one whose profession is in the hospitality industry. The property is certainly appealing based on the photographs, and is lush and green, but there are a dozen others just like it in the area run by experienced, kind people who are happy to have you as a guest. I will spare all the other grossly inappropriate details of our stay, but all in all, I certainly do not recommend this place." +Hotel,Date of stay: May 2018,Europe,France,ProvenceAlpesCote d'Azur,unknown,"Unfriendly, Grumpy and Racist Host","Visited as a couple from Texas, USA, for two nights.

So, the school had made the bookings for us there due to last minute issues with flats they have generally for DO school fellows. We also had the permission to use the kitchen in the contract since we stayed there for 8 weeks. But we had a horrible experience because of the manager named Alberto. Now in this program we were 18 fellows from different countries from Asia, Africa and Latin America. And this manager made racist comments on us at every opportunity that he could avail. For example, when we would cook in the kitchen he would come and ask us where are we from and then ridicule us by commenting that 'Is this how you clean in your countries' He would make fun of our foods, saying 'Curry, curry, curry, curry, my kitchen smells of curry, why don't you make some German food' He would shout at us for no reason and say offensive things such as 'You do not have brains to understand what I am saying' And even when we would walk in corridors he would stop us and comment ' Oh, are you from Morocco, terrorists are from there!' And when we would go to ask him for internet tickets he would make us wait or make us come back and ridicule our etiquettes even when we would be perfectly well behaved. This man made our life and experience of Berlin, Germany so bad and difficult that a lot of us stopped cooking in the kitchen even when we are all social entrepreneurs and on strict budget. Our school continuously tried to communicate strictly with him but he wouldn't budge from his behaviour. It was tough for our school to shift 18 of us somewhere else in the middle of the program in peak travel season in Berlin. It made ways for us to fell better by opening the school for longer hours and giving us the keys etc. But we have resolved to take this man down as we don't want any other person to suffer like this. And please beware he is perfectly nice to Germans but selectively troubled us from other countries.Please don't stay in this hotel if you want to enjoy a super excellent place like Berlin where all the rest of the people and experiences were super duper nice." +Hotel,Date of stay: June 2016,Europe,Germany,Berlin,unknown,WARNING: Not safe to live,"I've spent quiet a long time here, long enough to know whether it's an OK place to live and I'd say no it's not.

This hotel wasn't my choice but we were made to stay here by our hotel.The hotel manager / owner Alberto is a racist man who bullied me and my friends throughout our stay. We used to avoid him but whenever we used to see him during evenings when we were back from work, he yelled at us and said nonsense.The hotel facilities are also not okay and I won't recommend this place." +Hotel,Date of stay: February 2011,Asia,India,Goa,unknown,Complete ripoff for white people racists,"We arrived at this hotel early in the morning to be told that they only had 1 room remaining. We only booked initially for 2 nights then a further three due to not knowing the costs of the area. We were totally ripped off due to the colour of our skin being white. We paid 1500 rupees per night after some haggling over the price, we than spoke with other residents who stated that they were only paying 500 rupees per night. These were indians. They also tried to rent us a bike for 1000 rupees per day which we found out later to be only 150 per day. The room had A/C but was extremely basic, we found a better apartment 5 mins down the road with A/C, a swimming pool, cleaning everyday not per week with non racist management for only 500 rupees per night.

Rude and aggressive management and poor customer service and blatantly RACIST. They wanted all the women dressed in burkinis to use the last pool only. When we refused they got angry. Absolutely appalling attitude. The rooms given were not the ones promised. The lunch and evening meal are exactly the same. There was no fresh fruit ever. The fruit provided was on the verge of going off. +Hotel,Date of stay: September 2018,Africa,Egypt,Red Sea and Sinai,unknown,Please avoid at all cost read all UK reviews..NOT 5,"ARROGANT RUDE STAFF We travelled as a large group and upon our arrival we were told that despite having booked and paid for 5 rooms, only 4 rooms are available. After arguing they then gave us 5 rooms that were to be changed the following day as we had booked 3 pool view rooms. Pics to follow This didn't happen either. The following day the rooms were changed but not to what we had paid for. Arguing with the staff was futile as nothing came of it. The hotel management was so poor, arrogant , rude and unhelpful staff. It's like once they have got your money and in their hell hole of hotel they don't care what your query is. We were just taken to our rooms, not told about meal times, activities, who to contact etc .MOSQUITOS The hotel is riddled with mosquitos, never have I experienced this before at this level. We had all purchased mosquito repellents but the moment we got out from our rooms to the lobby they were everywhere. FOODThe food leaves alot to be desired... same lunch dinner is served no variety at all. Hence why we ate out every evening despite being all inclusive. You'd think you can't go wrong with breakfast but that was so basic, even skipped that as i was sick of the tasteless omlette and doughnuts everyday.Please do not be decieved by how the hotel looks from the outside.... it is beautiful but it's a shambles from inside. CLEANLINESS The pools that were ""allocated"" for modest swimwear were filthy; leaves, plastic , wood floating around, not just 1 odd day everyday. Outside my room there was a travel cot that had been dumped there for the whole week I was there and had not moved. Dishes and cutlery left in the corridor and not cleared. see pics attached THE LIFTIf you happen to be on the 3rd or 4th floor then you are gone... 1st day I climbed 8 sets of stairs to get to the 4th floor as the lift looked very unsafe dangerous. There was no second door to close so you can see the bare brick, wires etc as you are going up.REVIEWS ON TRIPADVISORWe had actually read some reviews and chose the hotel however if you look at the British or should I say well written reviews they are mainly negative. We met a British family who shared the same views as us and hated every moment of being there. RACISTThe most bizarre experience of my life. I was told because of wearing modest swimwear there was a separate area for us where we would feel comfortable. that was for me to decide not them Out of the 6 pools I paid for I was able to use only 1. However on most of the days there were women in bikinis in the modest swimwear pool... this was clearly double standards... whilst I wasn't allowed in the rest of the pools she was . Told the manager who didn't do much . ANIMATION TEAM REMIND ME WHO ARE THEY Having been to several different hotels we were dissappointed with the animation team. When you think it can't get worse it does.. They walked around asking every single person but our group, on one of the days I asked why do you single my family out His response was because you are Egyptian I'm not Egyptian and people don't usually join in esp women. Clear discrimination and making assumptions...So they presumed that every single brown faced person is Egyptian and don't like taking part in activities. Most ridiculous reason. They didn't even ask any of the children or men to join in if they presumed women would be offended. Maro was walking around with a clipboard and hounding the rest to join whilst we watched. They have no sense of logic or reasoning.. so better to give upNO WIFI There is no free WiFi as advertised on the website.

He was rude to us from the very first moment he laid eyes on us until he kicked us out on the last day without the breakfast we had paid for. He called us ""you people"" so many times, I lost count. And, when we confronted him on his racism, he asked if we were going to ""assault"" him, as if black people automatically resort to violence.When we enquired about boat cruises, after seeing that the facility had 2 boats, he told us that their license had expired. We later found out from his staff that this was not the case.When we made the reservation, I called to enquire about braai facilities. I was told there were none. At no point, before our arrival, was I told that braaing was not allowed at the facility. We came with our own portable braai stand. We ensured that we braaied far away from the thatched roofs and organised fire extinguishers. The other guests also used our braai stand as they were also not aware of the situation with the braai. When we were getting ready to check out on the last day, the rude manager had confiscated our braai stand. He told us that ""you people have no respect"" said things like ""I don't want you people coming here and thinking you can do whatever you want"". He then proceeded to kick us off ""his premises"" without allowing us to have the breakfast we had already paid for.Facilities: The resort has thatched roofs and is located in the Vaal, a notoriously warm area. They did not have fans in any of the rooms. The beds did not have flat sheets in the beds so you struggled to sleep in the heat as you were forced to use the duvets and it was not. When the town ran out of ice and we purchased some from the resort, the racist manager proceeded to scream at his staff for selling ice to ""us people"". Only one pot on the stove was working. There is only one shower in the threebedroom chalet, so showering was a very long endeavour. The shower was blocked, flooded and sprayed water everywhere.Location and nonmanagerial staff: The resort is situated right by the river, with a nice view at the back. The staff was friendly and helping, with the exception of the manager. That is the only good thing I have to say about the resort.Stay away, especially of nonwhite." +Hotel,Date of stay: January 2016,Africa,South Africa,Gauteng,unknown,This is the worst lodge I have ever been to,"While the location is beautiful and the staff are friendly, cleanliness is mediocre at best and the owner is incredibly rude and disrespectful and kept referring to us 'you people', in addition to using many other racially charged terms. We were told that we cannot sit in certain areas of the premises, for no reason, there were no nearby Braai facilities, and while there is an onsite boat that is available for hire, we were told that we cannot make use of it for no legitimate reason. This place has a lot of potential but the owner, unfortunately, does not know how to treat his guests and turned this into a terrible experience!" +Hotel,Date of stay: June 2017,Europe,Turkey,Turkish Aegean Coast,unknown,Possibly the WORST in Marmaris,"This was definitely the worst hotel I've ever stayed at, they had everything from; out of date food, racism to physical assault, the full package. You're not allowed to bring in any food or drinks from outside the hotel as they want to be able to sell the same food/drinks at a much higher price to you. They do push you alot to buy meals from the hoteI. I bought breakfast thinking it will atleast be at a decent standard but what I got was beans on toast where you can see the toast had mould growing on the side crust. After that I didn't eat from the hotel again. I would honestly not recommend anyone buying food from the actual hotel. The hotel staff are incredibly rude and unprofessional. Many of the days when we had room servive clean up they would always forget towels. We went down to reception 3 times to ask for towels as each time they 'forgot' and recieved them about 2 hours later and one time we just got it ourselves from the room service people in the hall way. For some reason this hotel seems to have racism down as a normality among staff. The racist comments i heard against Asians, and Black people in particular were disgusting, they're too offensive to write here, but I'm still shocked, I could not believe the language that they were using. The lobby was the only place with wifi, three different days we went down at around 10 11 o'Clock pm to use the lobby wifi and the person there would turn off the router so we go back to our rooms and leave him there on his own. We'd be as quiet as possible but it was clear he just didn't want us there at all. No other hotel I've been to have ever treated customers like that. You have to pay 40 for air conditioning on top For 7days , even though nearly all of the other hotels near by have that as standard. We decided to buy the air conditioning anyway on the second day, and asked a different member of staff, who then bumped the price to 50. We were confused as they had already told us the price everyone pays so we spoke to a different person who said it was 40, then asked why this other guy said its 50. After speaking to him he said he was apparently just joking, which wasn't very funny to me...their hunger for money has blinded them from providing a decent level of customer service. Lastly I'm going to talk about physical assault. I went on this holiday with a group of friends, one of them litteraly got physically assaulted by the night manager in front of my eyes full on punches to the face and kick to his shin. Shocked is an understatement. It was a completely unprovoked attack mind you this particular night manager had previously made racist comments toward me and my friend earlier in the week. I've never witnessed such disgusting racist behaviour from any sort of hotel or even person before. If me or my friends didn't intervene the injuries to his face would've been much worse, the night manager then continued to threaten my friend. Saying that he won't be able to call the police because he 'was good friends with them' and 'they wont believe anything we say' and that 'he knows alot of people around here' and yes, these are his exact words. Being threatened in a country like Turkey was scarey and made us feel like there was nothing we can do, just take the assault and pray we make it home in one piece, this Hotel was clearly anything but safe. We had to even call the British Embassy, who sent over a rep to give us advise on what our options were. I don't wish that kind of treatment on anybody. Overall, this hotel is possibly one of the worst in Marmaris. There are alot of other hotels in the area with much better standards that cost nearly the same or just a little more with much better customer service and safety. For your own health, safety and security I would not recommend this hotel at all." +Hotel,Date of stay: June 2017,Europe,Turkey,Turkish Aegean Coast,unknown,Appauling and racist!! ,Wifi gets switched off after half 9 every night.Being abused by staff because we decided to eat out instead of purchasing the OVERPRICED food within the hotel! Staff would charge us to do the simplest things like take our towels.Ridiculous money grabbers.Would give 0 stars if there was that option. Do not take friends and family here. +Hotel,Date of stay: August 2016,Europe,Turkey,Turkish Aegean Coast,unknown,Dont recommend,"I do not recommend this hotel if you are planning to stay at the hotel a lot. The location is great but one of the staff is racist and slightly sexist night staff in particular. On several occasions the night staff turned off the free WiFi. He was nicer to other Turkish guests and never complained when they would make noise, but whenever we spoke he would shout at us for talking too loud, bare in mind we were not speaking loudly. However there are some staff who are nice, the guy with the long hair at reception was lovely, also another young guy at the reception who doesn't speak much English. Also Vicky and her husband were lovely. I did not like the strict rule about how you were not allowed food from outside, but I do understand their reason for having this rule. I would definitely not stay at Laberna again as the way we were treated by a particular night staff member was completely unacceptable. We asked the day staff if we could arrange a meeting with the management about this but got nowhere. Also, when this same member of staff who was racist served us for breakfast he messed up our order and we were over charged. Overall, I wouldnt stay here again." +Hotel,Date of stay: May 2015,Europe,Turkey,Turkish Aegean Coast,unknown,Nav,"The hotel room itself, room 413, was actually really good and the bathroom and shower were adequate. But as for the staff, more so the big guy in tattoos who looks like he just got discharged from the marines, was just the most consistently, passive aggressive intimidating guy I've ever come across. On many many occasions, especially when trying to have my measly disappointing breakfast, id have him march up to myself and my friends complaining that we dont purchase drinks from the hotel and the hotel needs to make money esp in the off peak seasons. And as far as i was concerned, that was not non of their business where i chose to eat and drink during my visit. The breakfast was really crap, limited choices. Honestly it was better to have had nothing at all. And on the day of checkout, we got accused of taking one beer out of the mini fridge. And non of us even drink. So we disputed and apparently it was the house keeping staff that had made some ""mistake"", the same ""mistake"" they made moving my mates room key around which could have meant paying 50 for a replacement. Snide little F.....s. Anyhoo. The pool wasn't so bad, if you're over 6 foot that is. I would honestly say, stay clear from this hotel, especially if you are Asian. Clear hints of racism received. Enough to ruin ones holiday... " +Hotel,Date of stay: November 2018,United States,Virginia VA,Roanoke,unknown,Racists,"I didnt like anything about this hotel. The people who run the hotel are very racists and the dont allow guest of no type. My car was being worked on next door to them so I had my uncle pick me up for work and they had a problem with him pulling in to pick me up and made me leave the hotel due to me allowing my uncle to come inside my room to use the restroom. Check in is at 2pm and they didnt let me check in till 4pm due to the rooms wasnt cleaned yet. At check out they dont knock on your door to tell you its check out time or ask if you need anything they just walk in, like what if i was nude or something very disrespectful overall. They very racists." +Hotel,Date of stay: January 2018,Asia,China,Macau,unknown,"Great hotel, nice hotel staff","This place is located in the new town if you are looking for great food its better for you to stay at the opposite side of the river. Overall experience with this resort is great, especially with the nice hotel staff, but he casino security is simply horrible. They racial profiles and it just brings bad images to the hotel, and they should have to casino staff to the same standard as the hotel. As for the local food choice, you need to be very cautious with the local taxi driver as they will always trick you to go for the longer route across the bridge. When we asked the hotel staff about the local good dinning area and they gave us a name and tell us to just grab a taxi and it ends up the taxi driver lied to us that its not opened and suggest us to go across the bridge for better breakfast options. It was our first time and we didnt know any better. Overall the taxi was the worst experience we had in Macau, Overcharging and deceiving. Go for public transportation if you can. " +Hotel,Date of stay: June 2018,Asia,China,Macau,unknown,Most racist and disrespectful hotel ever,"WARNING: If you are ASIAN or COLORED people, you would be treated differently in this hotel. I have never been treated this bad in a five star luxury hotel in my entire life. My white Australian friend and I Asian recently stayed at the St Regis Macau for one night during our trip around Macau and China. I am a SPG Gold member. When we checked out, the front desk staff asked about our stay, I said we were happy, except we did not get upgraded to an enhanced room, which is a STANDARD benefit for Gold member. We booked a Cotai view room, and we did not even get the view from our bed. All we could see was another hotel, we had to stand by the window in order to see the Cotai view. I believed we had been downgraded. The staff apologized and told her Room Operations Manager, Aris Azhar about this. The manager then walked to my friend, greeted him by shaking his hand and handed a business card to my friend to apologize, and promised there will be an upgrade for the next stay. I was the actual Gold member and the one paying for this stay, yet the manager had zero communication with me. I put my hand out wanted to shake hand with him, but he pretended that he did not see me, walked around and went to greet my friend. I was very embarrassed and felt disrespected in front of my friend and other hotel guests, and I told the Manager that I was the one who booked this room, and he only responded with an ""Oh, sorry, hope you enjoyed your stay"". I wanted to make a complaint to the hotel GM or VP but we were in a hurry to take the next ferry. I really hate that he discriminated Asian in an Asia city, and behaved like a snob to look down on Asian. I cannot believe that it's 2018 and I, as a young professional hedge fund analyst had to faced with such disgusting RACIST behavior in my own region. I will email this RACIST issue to the Macau Tourist Board and hopefully they can stop this kind of behavior.There are thousands of Luxury hotels in Macau, just like Las Vegas, I highly recommend colored people not staying here." +Hotel,Date of stay: July 2017,United States,Texas TX,Laredo,unknown,"Terrible recption Staff, Ignorant, racist and intolerant","Really, the staff of reception is terrible, very intolerant, racist, Ignorant, denigrating, etc alongThe staff of reception is a old woman, I could understand this situation, but she was very ignorant, she wanted payment again, I did booking by Expedia, Just did a called for confirm that I was needed pay in hotel She told me that needed pay the booking that was normalWhen I did a call to Expedia she quickly told to me that she wanted cancel the bookingAfter Expedia did a call to this woman for ask what's the matter and she answer in english thinking that I didn't understand english and she told to Expedia staff that me don't want pay or I don't have money for pay, really very ridiculous, obviously I told to staff of Expedia that I accepted cancel the bookingShe told me that she wanted cancel booking but she need close the hotel, ridiculous in a hotel that is open 24 hoursShe never thought that I'm an International frequent traveler, obviously I know how doing a booking and when I need pay, but she treated me how if I was ignorant on these situations, The situation more ridiculous, I think that she is a Mexican old womanNever saw the roomReally, never could recommended this hotel for staff of reception, Ignorant, racist, Intolerant" +Hotel,Date of stay: September 2018,Europe,Spain,Catalonia,unknown,Not a 4 star experience.,"Just arrived back from a 1 week stay here with my girlfriends family. Our first impressions of the hotel were very good. The reception area is immaculate with friendly attentive staff manning the desk. We checked in and made our way to our rooms on the second floor which was our first experience of their awful elevators. They sometimes took 510 minutes to arrive and frequently missed our floor despite us pressing the button and it illuminating. The hotel is located right on the beach and a short walk to the main town area with shops, cafes and restaurants.The rooms are extremely basic for a 4 star hotel lacking in all the basic facilities that you would normally expect. There was no kettle in the room, no fridge, no drawers, no iron, the towels were barely big enough to cover your body hand towel size and no adequate lighting for the evening. The bathrooms are very dated and ours in particular mine and my girlfriends was very dirty. The bath and sink looked like they had not been cleaned at all. The shower curtain looked as though it had not been changed between guests too. Nonetheless we did not let this ruin our holiday as we did not spend much time in the room.The bar is open from 9am until 1am but as an all inclusive guest you are only able to order between 10:30am and midnight. This includes ordering basics such as tea and coffee which as stated is awkward since there are no tea making facilities in the room. Something that is not clearly advertised is the different levels of all inclusive. By default you are booked as a premium guest but you are extremely limited to what you could order for free. You are given the opportunity to upgrade to gold all inclusive for 25 euros per person per day. On a positive note the bar staff were very friendly and made everyone feel welcome. We had some issues with the language barrier at times but they try their best to understand.You are given 2 cards per person on arrival at the hotel. One card is for orders at the bar and for access to the restaurant and the second card is for the glasses for your drinks. This means you have to queue to get your drink then queue again to return your glass to receive your card back. This kept the bar constantly busy due to the amount of queueing that you have to do. We gave up with the glass card by day number two and just accepted thin plastic cups instead. Their drinks menu is very confusing as it only shows what each drink costs for non all inclusive guests and a discounted price for the different levels of all inclusive. It would have helped greatly to see what all inclusive guests can actually order. They had a different cocktail on offer everyday which was free for all inclusive which we enjoyed.On to the restaurant which is very large with adequate seating for all guests. We only found seating an issue when a very large French party arrived and reserved a quarter of the restaurant every night but only reserve the large tables. We were in a party of nine therefore also required a large table therefore were sometimes either split up or had to squeeze onto a table for six. The food was fantastic every day with a wide range of choice but we found it was not clearly labeled therefore was actually unsure what we were eating sometimes. This did not pose a problem to us since none of us have allergies or restrictions but found it important to mention for awareness. Baked beans were regularly stone cold but there are microwaves available. We found it strange that you are unable to use the drinks machines during lunch and evening meal times, you could only queue and order at the small bar in the restaurant which was always packed so ended up going without drinks most of the time. The restaurant staff were attentive and helpful and always greeted us with a friendly 'Hola'.Evening inhouse entertainment was very basic and repetitive consisting of kids disco for 1 hour from 9pm then either live singing or just music played loudly. On our second night we were excited to find a movie theme quiz was scheduled so we put our names down for it. This was almost cancelled due to many complaints from a select few from the large French group. When put to a vote which should NOT have happened it went ahead. It was rushed and was ruined by the few French guests shouting comments out throughout the quiz and putting their fingers in their ears like you would see from a child. Live music was planned after the quiz however one of the rude French guests insisted his phone was plugged in and French music played for the rest of the evening rather than the international playlist as played on all other nights. To our disgust the entertainer allowed for the French guest to plug in his phone and therefore the nonFrench guests left.Although the majority of the French party were friendly, we still encountered incidents throughout the week that ruined our experience. Any time any children two of which were in our group were playing, they would shout at them and tell them to shush which is completely unacceptable in a hotel that advertises themselves as a family hotel. The children were regularly bored as there was nothing for them to do either in the hotel or in the resort. During a busy period in the restaurant a member of our party and a French man accidentally bumped into each other whilst reaching for food. My brother in law apologised and the other man accepted and then asked my brother in law ""are you English"" he responded ""yes"" to which the French man replied by rolling his eyes and saying ""ugh"" and then walked away. If we were sensitive we could have said that was a racist comment.The two outdoor pools that are advertised are both small, particularly the child's pool which could only be approximately the size of a king sized bed. The main pool is a lot smaller than you would expect for a hotel of this size. No floats or inflatables are allowed in the pool which again limits activities. There is nowhere to get changed near the pool but you are unable to walk through the hotel in wet clothes.I have noticed comments aimed at the large Welsh family in other reviews. Other than them being rude to the lifeguard once we did not find them that much of an issue. People need to remember they were on holiday too.Overall the hotel does have it's issues. It is dated and is in need of a makeover which I believe is currently in progress. We managed to enjoy our holiday but we will not be returning to the hotel and would not recommend to families or the under 50s." +Hotel,Date of stay: October 2012,Europe,Spain,Catalonia,unknown,Wouldn't recommend,"I don't usually write reviews, I read them and think people are being overly picky but I thought I should as there as so many reviews that are complete contrast so I would have my say. This is coming from someone who has slumped it in Prague to top notch in Turkey so I think I will be honest and fair. Firstly the location, Brilliant..... The beach although is more stoney is very nice, in a little cove hiding away around the corner is miles of clean beach, very relaxed and a place you can really relax so full marks there. The hotel, firstly you have to pay 4 euros a day for parking which is abit harsh considering your staying there but I can live with that. The check in was ok no issues really, if you want a safety deposit box it's 35 euros which you get 10 back although we were told on 3 occasions that it would all be refunded to when it came to check out I found out this wasn't true but at 6am and heading for a flight you can't stand and argue. We went up to the room and the first thing we saw was the bathroom which was a good size and was surprisingly good. That's where it ended. The room is as basic as it came with a couple of beds a table and chair which were pointless, the smallest tv possible on a rusty metal shelf unit. The room seemed grubby with racist writing on the wall. I had read on here that some people weren't happy with the room they were changed no problem. They were lucky as I asked 3 times for a different room and was fobbed off every time being told to come back later. To the point we got fed up asking and gave up. The drinks are served in small plastic glasses, that we got over but when some of the bar staff didn't fill the glasses up left a sour taste in the mouth as we wanted to relax not get up every 2 minutes after our shot of lager. We got over that Aswell. The food......... The breakfast was always the same which was fine as you can't really change it there was a good choice. Main meals for lunch and dinner were quite varied although no wonder there weren't any pigs about because pork was on every day and night without fail. The problem with the food was I can count on one had the amount of hot or even warm food I ate. I don't think the hot plates worked as the food was usually cold. Deserts were the same every meal without fail but I was ok with that as I don't eat deserts and my son was happy with ice cream. As for the staff, I was surprised more staff didn't speak more English due to the amount of English guests but that wasn't the problem. The problem was that there were a few rude staff, one waiter stood there shouting at me in Spainish because I assume we sat on a table he had just reset but then there weren't any others so what did he expect us to do sit on the floor Good job I didn't understand him as he may just have got a mouthful back. The main people who managed the door to the restaurant were very good, friendly and remembered how many we're in each group. The entertainment wasn't back and full marks to the dancing guy who did his best to get all the kids up dancing, he was a trier. The snacks are available at certain times and usually deep fried something. We didn't eat it so can't comment on the taste. The hotel also states that at 11pm they ask for respect and quiet but that didn't happen and on too many occasions when my son was trying to sleep kids were screaming in the hall and on occasions a group of French guests stood virtually outside our door having a meeting for about an hour before I opened the door and my face made it clear I wasn't impressed. Downstairs there were times when there weren't enough seats for the entertainment. There are also a few games to play at a euro each but there were a lot of occasions where the machines took someone's money without anything back and then the machines out of order. To sum it wasn't a great stay. Maybe it was a bad week but I always give an honest opinion and I think this is an accurate review. Anything else I can answer feel free to ask. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone who asks though." +Hotel,Date of stay: September 2010,Europe,Spain,Catalonia,unknown,Lovely hotelforget the bad reviews!!!,"We stayed at the caleta palace in september 2010, the hotel is set on a lovely pebble beach with nice walks to either the main strip or a secluded little cove. The rooms were always cleaned every day with fresh towels, food was good and something for everyone, bar was good and we were not restricted on drinks at all. All the staff were very friendly. We were worried as people had said things about racisms towards the english tourists but this is rubbish, everyone was treated the same. The only difference is the staff speak more to the spanish guests im guessing because its easier to comminicate when its their language. For a cheap all inclusive u dont expect 5 star luxury if u want that go elsewhere, but if u want a friendly value for money family orientated hotel, close to the beach with a good bar caleta palace is the place to be. I have no complaints, the location and the views are spectacular!!" +Hotel,Date of stay: June 2010,Europe,Spain,Catalonia,unknown,Dont waste your time or money,"We were impressed when we arrived with the town and hotel location. Got to our room and found that it smelt of dog. Dogs are actually allowed to stay here!!! Room was straight out of the sixties and twin beds had waterproof sheets on that crinkled everytime you moved. Breakfast next morning was plentiful and awful, unless you are a fan of cold fried food, Lunches and evening meals were again plentiful and again awful, You could have as much as you wanted, just dont step on the roaches.No entertainment at night only the bar or go out. Apart from Benji at reception, whos mum is from Oldham,the rest of the male staff are rude,ignorant and possibly racist. I say this because they were fine with other spaniards or germans or french.Service at the bar is in 1/2 pint glasses only half full. Staff are not in the least bit friendly or helpfull, and for the record, my wife is a fluent spanish speaker and I can understand lots of the language so we did try, The day before we left,we asked reception to check our pick up for the airport and we were told to go out and use a coin phone in the street. The shame is that the location,the beach and the town are really nice. If you can get all in for about 20 give it a go and eat out. I have to say Ive never been so glad to leave somewhere." +Hotel,Date of stay: September 2009,Europe,Spain,Catalonia,unknown,Gordon Bennet !!!!,"Before travelling we looked up the reviews and thought that the bad ones were exagerated, racist don't be daft.We could not leave this place quick enough !

I never saw a hairdressers here , the tv consisted of eurosport and cnn as only english speaking chammels and that packed up after a few days.

This place is the worst i've ever had the misfortune to have paid good money to be insulted. firstly, we arrived late to this hell and therefore it was morning when we realised that it was a haven for OAP's with zimmer frames at breakfast. I'm not quite that old yet and felt a little out of place. On the notice board bingo in spanish was the ""entertainment"" along with ballroom dancing! Nearly cried! On arrival, we were given a rules and regulation handout. On this information such as meal times and the times of the bar was printed. We opted for the all inc before going and noticed that the bar closed at 12 midnight and thought the time was good. However, one particular barman made it very obvious that he did not like the Brits and was very rude to a number of people. He asked me if I wore a watch sneeringly and sarcastically when I asked for a Cola at 11:05. They changed the rules and closed the bar at 11pm When I pointed out that the bar openings were printed, They pretended that they did not understand English although understood how to speak with sarcasm! I am not a lager lout and drink little or no alcohol but the bar really was the only entertainment!. I tried to ask for things in Spanish at all times. Meal times were worse! After selecting food from a limited and tastless buffet, you would be ushered out of your seat and herded along with other brits with wrist bands to alternative seats. This happened every night and you were never sure where to sit as the head waiter kept changing his mind and barked in spanish. He just kept ""moving the goalpost."" As other poster has said, no reps or outside contacts, nothing to do,awful beach, awful hotel. I could go on but I think you get the gist. It was the second most miserable week of my life. The other being stuck in hospital with an infection. Go at your peril !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" +Hotel,Date of stay: May 2018,Europe,Greece,South Aegean,unknown,Putting on a front... Things stolen and rude staff,"We second the review below that says if it wasnt for the Mediterranean Sea being on the doorstep, this place would be out of business Upon first arrival, it seemed like a nice place to stay, thats where the word nice stops in this review. We were shown to our room/cabin, which is when we quickly realised was more of a shoebox, which can only just fit two people comfortably... it was not pleasant at all! Basic hygiene was nonexistent and it seems as though the place hasnt been cleaned for a while. The beach is what you expect. But be warned, it costs upwards of 11 euros to even sit on one of the beach chairs, with absolutely NO sign telling you of this only a man who comes around taking payment. This came as a shock to not only us but at least 3 other groups around us we all vacated immediately.The bar area was completely cringeworthy, where despite people attempting to have a good time, on more than one occasion we could hear staff making crude and creepy comments to young girls. It was also incredibly overpriced be prepared to shell out a lot of money for less than mediocre.What takes the cake however, were the staff, particularly in reception and in the eating/restaurant areas. Rude and lazy seem to come to mind. One of my possessions which holds a lot of sentiment went missing when we ate, and despite us asking staff for help finding it, none of them could be bothered one even said while laughing that one of the many Chinese tourists must have taken it. Lets add the word Racist to the description of this place... If they were even slightly helpful, it wouldnt have been the biggest deal, however there was no courtesy at all. IF YOUVE MANGED TO READ THIS FAR DOWN, I HOPE YOU DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND NOT BOOK THIS PLACE. Were definitely not your usual complainers and this is the first time Ive written a review about a place, its such a shame it had to be a negative one." +Hotel,Date of stay: June 2016,Europe,Greece,South Aegean,unknown,"Sexist, Racist, Overall Disgusting Service","Im honestly still in a bit of shock regarding just how terribly I was treated at this hostel. In fact, I dont think Ive ever been treated more rudely by any member of the service industry anywhere in the worldand I am an experienced traveler who has stayed at hundreds of hostels/hotels/campsites/etc. all over the globe.Commence rant: I showed up tired after a long day of traveling you know the typenothing works the way its supposed to, and now that youve finally arrived youre just ready to lie out on the beach and relax. I had booked a fairly nice private room, having mostly outgrown the dorm scene. Checkin was going okI had handed over my passport presumably so it could be photocopied, as has been the case at other hostels that have wanted a look at my passport, and I was getting the little speech about where the bar/beach/rooms were. Just as we were about to walk over to my actual room, I realized I hadnt gotten my passport back, so I politely asked for it before I left. This is when everything took an abrupt turn for the worse. The main receptionist who had, for lack of a better way to describe it, a fairly derivative hipster mustache that would have been cool in Brooklyn in about 2008 laughed at me condescendingly and told me that the hotel policy was to confiscate all passports and that I would get mine back when I checked out. This surprised me, as Ive never encountered such a policy before; I told the guy that I wasnt really comfortable handing over my passport like that I think its pretty obvious why, and in response, he laughed condescendingly once more and embarked on an attempt to show off to a couple of fellow female guests who had just walked in the door.This attempt involved a number of tactics. One was to spew indiscriminate insults in my direction. Another was to laugh at me some more and call me a hysterical woman who didnt know how to calm down I really dont think I was being particularly hysterical either. Another was to rant about the fact that I was an American and thus, presumably, entitled and whiny. Still another was to take the antiAmerican posturing to the next level by being pretty shockingly racist direct quote: We dont have beards here; we arent Muslims. You dont have to be afraid of us.. And so on and so forth. I wound up just paying for the hotel room and then booking another room at a Starwood property. Once I got there, I burst into tears from a combination of exasperation at my treatment at the original hostel and relief that the receptionists at the new hotel were treating me like a human being. Reading back over this, I dont think Ive really been able to convey just how bullied and ridiculed I felt. I also dont think that as a solo female traveler its unreasonable to want to have control over my passports whereabouts. At some point in the exchange, it emerged that they would have accepted my drivers license as well that wouldnt have worked for me in any case as Id rented a car, but at the end of the day, the passport wasnt in itself the crux of the issuemy treatment was and for the record, the place where I rebooked did not attempt to confiscate my passport. So lookmaybe you'll have an ok time here some people seem to have enjoyed it, but I think it's a bit of a crapshoot. Fortunately, I'm 30 now, done with law school, and have a pretty comfortable budget, so paying double for a night was not the end of the world for me, but I've been on a shoestring budget before and know what it's like to be 22 and flat broke. If it were me, I just wouldn't risk staying here; Mykonos has plenty of beach party places to visit its not like this island is off the radar.

I went to my room as did three of the other guests that were part of the conversation.I did not have the included breakfast the next morning as I was so uncomfortable I just wanted to leave and never come back.The owner/ manager Garcia had been very kind and accommodating to me at check in so I wrote to him privately to alert him that he has a problem with his volunteers so that he could rectify the problem. I expected to hear back but there has been no response at all.I believe in the volunteer programs and think it is an excellent opportunity for both sides to exchange accommodation for work, however, the host business must understand that these people represent YOUR business.

My parents who are Caucasian rented a room for a week to celebrate my Mom's retirement from the United States Postal Service after 20 years of service. When booking the room they mentioned why they were going to be staying down at the beach and that some family and friends would be visiting during their stay. The representative over the phone told them that would be fine and that they even had some picnic tables they could use down by the pool. They checked in on Wednesday, July 20th and had some friends come to visit throughout the first couple days with no problem. Keep in mind that their friends that came to visit the first couple days were all Caucasian. They were able to use their pool and spent time in the room socializing with them. Saturday, July 23rd was when I, my fianc, and our children finally made it down to spend the day with them. My father, who is a pilot, flew my Mom down to the Keys for breakfast and I was left a key at the front desk so I could set up some cupcakes, food and decorations for when they came back. When picking up the key from the front desk I had no problem, the front desk attendant didnt even ask for my ID remember I am also Caucasian. I got back in the truck where my fianc and children were waiting so we could unload the food and decorations. As soon as we got up to the room, this was within 510 minutes. I noticed that the phone was ringing. I didnt answer it because I thought it was someone for my parents and that they could reach them on their cell phone. It continued to ring and by this time my sister n law had arrived to help me prepare some food. The phone kept ringing so she answered it and said a man identified himself as the manager and asked for my Mom. She said she will be back shortly but can I help you with something He then said that there are too many people going back and forth to the room and wanted to make it clear that any visitors are not allowed to use any of their facilities and need to leave the premises by 8 pm. I contacted my parents to let them know of the phone call. When they arrived back on the property my Mom was crying because she wanted to enjoy the day in the pool and on the beach with her Grandchildren. Her and my Dad went down to the office and were told things like we dont want people coming here from Miami to party and we dont allow frats to have parties here and that they have rules in place to avoid these things. My parents informed them that there were no rules broken and they were very confused as to why their family was not allowed to visit them. We are NOT from Miami and we are NOT a frat They then said that if they cant use the pool we can just take our stuff down to the beach and they were told they couldnt do that either and that the beach was private and they would call the cops on them!!! This whole conversation was recorded and is still available. After hearing the recording with all ignorant remarks about being from Miami and frat parties I became upset and realized that all of this happened as soon as my fianc and children, who are Hispanic, stepped out of the vehicle. They thought that we were Spanish people from Miami and were coming to have a big loud party when in actuality just wanted to enjoy time with family and friends. I then went down to inform the front desk that they made my mother cry on a day that was supposed to be a once in a lifetime celebration and that she cant even go swimming in their facilities with her Grandchildren. I voiced to her that as soon as the managerwho never showed his face saw my fianc get out of his truck they stereotyped him due to the way he looked. The front desk attendant then said that we DO stereotype so she admitted it. I told her for future reference if they dont allow visitors they should inform them of that when booking the room instead of making it seem like it is ok and even offering the picnic tables over the phone. She said she will note it for the future and then I left. Basically, my point is that if you have darker skin you will probably not be allowed at this resort and will definitely not be able to use their facilities. This was a horrible experience and the Better Business Bureau will be contacted for this act of discrimination." +Hotel,Date of stay: July 2015,United States,Florida FL,Southwest Gulf Coast,unknown,Great condo TERRIBLE management!,The room and view was spectacular. I have stayed there several years in a row. This year the management must have changed because they were extremely rude. My family rented several rooms and they kept coming to say we had too many people in one room when we got together. At check out the guy helping me was super rude and a little racist. My family and I will not be returning next year. We'd rather stay anywhere but there and be treated the way we were treated. +Hotel,Date of stay: July 2014,United States,Florida FL,Southwest Gulf Coast,unknown,Twisting everything around ridiculous reviews,"My husband and I have been coming to Gulfview Manor for more than 10 years. Every year the facility has had something new or updated. We come here because it's a great place to stay. It's very clean, beautiful, and most of all, safe. Ken and the staff are very professional and courteous to everyone. We recently stayed in our favorite apartment 34, which is located on the third floor. The same days that coincided with the group that are leaving such ridiculous reviews. We were awakened by this group on their first night here around 1:30AM as they stood outside of our apartment door. They we extremely loud, with absolutely no regards to any other guests at the resort. Within a couple of minutes, I heard Ken the manager telling them to quite down. They were arguing with him saying he couldn't keep them from talking. He insisted that they return to their apartments and told them they were breaking the noise curfew. He told them that if they didn't want to follow the rules, they could leave. They finally started leaving as Ken continued to take their verbal abuse.We also were at the pool the afternoon when most of the women and teenagers from the group had their food and drinks in and around the water. As Ken was walking by, he looked over at the pool and saw them with their food and drinks. He walked up to the pool fence and asked them to get their food and drinks out of the pool. He told them they could only have it at the tables. Someone made a smart remark. Ken pointed to the Pool Rules sign that says that food and drinks aren't allowed in the pool. He then turned and walked away.I just can't believe how they are twisting everything around. Ken is definitely not a racist. Over 60 of his staff are Hispanic. Most of them have been there as long as Ken. It's pretty obvious that the group is doing everything the can to take make Ken into the bad guy. This is a great place to stay because of Ken enforcing the rules. Go Ken." +Hotel,Date of stay: March 2007,United States,Florida FL,Southwest Gulf Coast,unknown,Wonderful experience we will return,"We had a marvelous time at the Gulfview Manor. The condo was spotless and very roomy. We left the sliding glass door open to enjoy the sound of the gulf. Relaxed on the porch to a beautiful beach view. The property is right on the beach with sugar white sand cleaned every morning. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and responsive. We asked for a better corkscrew and one was delivered in minutes. A mixer didn't work and a new one was delivered while we were out. We were offered beach towels on loan and lots of local information. I was pleasantly surprised to find our room had wireless internet, which worked beautifully. They kitchen was fairly well stocked with dishes, pots, pans, cutlery. They also had a DVD/VHS player available on loan as well. Had to go to the laundry room for ironing board access due to the manager's having prior guests burn holes in the bedspreads. They are planning additional services to upgrade the star rating more parking and a restaurant. I just hope it doesn't increase the price too much or make too popular we want to return! The rooms are private and quiet racial/ethnic diversity was welcomed. We saw families and couples most had stayed multiple times.Some info: We were there over spring break. The property is on the quiet end of the beach but traffic over the causeway bridge can be awful, especially morning and evening. Best to go the long way around on Bonita Beach Road and save the time and frustration.Suggestions for improvement: Iron and ironing boards in the rooms, a decent corkscrew, curtains in the bedroom for more privacy they have vertical blinds, but curtains would be a nice addition." +Hotel,Date of stay: November 2010,United States,Georgia GA,Washington,unknown,Racist front desk clerk named Pat,"I DO NOT recommend this hotel. My husband and I went to Durhamtown and needed a place to stay that accepted medium size dogs for the weekend. I made reservations a week before and called to get information about their pet policy. After 8 hours drive in heavy rain, we finally got to the hotel at 4am to discover their pet policy was not what they said it was on the phone or online and they were going to charge us more. First the hotel is really what you get for the price. The place smells, lights dont work, bathroom and bed dont seemed to be cleaned very often. The mini refrigerator had food from the last guest and microwave was dirty inside. That said we didn't expect much so we just endured it and I wouldnt come here to give a bad review just for these reasons.At check out, however, I decided to complain about the extra charge. I have never experienced discrimination against my nationality until this old lady named Pat that worked in the front desk of Jameson Inn Washington asked me ""Are you a travel agent"" ""Where are you from anyway"" followed by a pause making a superior face ""You are not American."" and after that accusation ""You should watch out!""First Im not an agent, but what did she care if Im an agent or not Whats up with this interrogation Second I have all the right in the world to complain about an unexpected extra charge of any kind, and me being an american or not should have no bearing on the situation. I thought hotels were aware that foreigners stay in them while traveling. Apparently not at this cy hotel. Third what the hell should I watch out for Am I supposed to be an illegal alien, in fear of her calling immigration She should be the one watching out for her job because I truly hope she has been fired by now.Pat is an old lady who needs to realize that the racist attitudes of the old deep south have no place in 21st century US and is quite lucky that her racist tirade didn't earn her employer the discrimination lawsuit her actions richly deserved." +Hotel,Date of stay: February 2017,Caribbean,Cuba,Cayo Largo,unknown,Full of Quebecer Racists,They treat the Cubans like dirt and anyone who is not french speaking very badly. If you are a white french speaking quebecer this resort will be great. If you dont speak french dont come here it will be awfull racist french hated my brown wife called her every racist name. The quebecers dont leave their hatred in canada when they go on holiday they bring it to Cuba. I know it cant be all quebecers who are racist and rude anx hatefull but it certainly feels as such when at this resort. +Hotel,Date of stay: December 2018,Mexico,Baja California,Baja California Sur,unknown,Be careful. VERY RACIST!,"We visit Cabo from Oregon often and usually enjoy it. At least 7 times a year. We are a diverse family. I have very light skin, my husband is African/Mexican and has very dark skin. Unfortunately we run into this situation where resorts in Cabo dont want Mexicans in them. It is getting better but it still happens on occasion. Ten years ago, it was much worse. Today my mother and children took a taxi from Pueblo Bonita Sunset to Cascadas to eat lunch and were welcomed to enter the resort from the street side. We walked all the way though the resort without a problem. We looked like the typical gringo tourists. My husband was already at the beach and met us from the beach access side near the restaurant. We ate and did some pottery painting. It was a nice day. My husband accompanied us today o take a taxi back to our resort. As we were leaving all together to go back to our resort, a security guard followed us and told us that we could not leave through the way we entered, he wanted us to walk around the side of the resort because my husband is Mexican and this was private property. We eat at Cascadas about 20 times a year. I walk though the resort every time. Then when my husband accompanies me, the resort security harasses us. This is enough. I needed to tell the public what happens here if you have dark skin at this resort. The restaurant has never treated us bad but the security are racist and I am not going to let my daughter witness this type of discrimination. This is a photo of the supervisor who I tried to talk to about the discrimination. He was even more racist than the security." +Hotel,Date of stay: May 2017,Europe,Germany,RhinelandPalatinate,unknown,"Worst ever experience, racist behaviour towards Indians","It was a nightmarish experience for our group , the lifts were not working in the morning and all of us had to carry our own luggages. The reception staff was rude and passed racist remarks against the group members." +Hotel,Date of stay: April 2016,Europe,Germany,RhinelandPalatinate,unknown,Cold play,"We stayed at this hotel for just 1 night and we regretted booking it. The rooms are decent but their service and attitude downright crappy and here are some details:1. Everyone from the reception staff to those at their restaurant/coffee shop are cold and barely smile. Probably if we had visited them in summer, they would have been cordial.2. Their elevators suck and are an antithesis to German engineering. So, if you are taking the elevator with a bag or two, factor 20 minutes travel time. No kidding, I am serious. They seem to have their own mind, close too quickly, never arrive.3. Their breakfast spread is poor and their attitude towards nongermans bordering on being racist. We were told that the breakfast is served at a restaurant next to their hotel within the same compound and not at the coffeshop inside the hotel for those part of group bookings. We walk about 50 steps out in cold weather and then could not enter because the had lost their door keys, so we had to hang around in the cold for a good 10 mins and then ushered in via their kitchen. Right throughout the breakfast service I never saw any of their staff make an appearance or even offer a courtesy smile. 4. Their wifi does not work anywhere but only in the reception and yes they will not tell you about it as they expect you to try from your room and then figure this secret yourself." +Hotel,Date of stay: April 2016,Europe,Germany,RhinelandPalatinate,unknown,Better give a wide berth,"A sub standard Soviet era type hotel, where lifts do not work, the chair in the room broke down and latches etc. in the room bathroom does not work. So called free WiFi does not work. The staff in hotel are perceptibly racists as for Indian Chinese group tours the sub standard breakfast is served in a separate venue for which one has to go out of the hotel to enter. Only redeeming features are the rooms bathroom which is quite spacious.

IT certainly was ,it was massive 2 large single beds a lovely lounge ,flat screen tv , huge bathroom ,shower over the bath was a little week but it is going to be changed to a walk in shower ,I had a wrap around balcony with plenty of sun . so far so good very happy . Now for the not so good The restaurant was short of variety and the hot food was ALWAYS COLD hence the microwaves . The sweets were ice cream ,jelly, and 1 type of cake . The breakfast was the same every day cold bacon and cold beans .The bar staff would serve you if you were the only one at the bar,The bar was mobbed with O.A.P.s from Spain so the always served them first ,they had coffee morning noon and night , we could be standing at the bar for 20 to 30 mins , i had to call the barman a racist ,then he would serve us . The entertainment was geared to the spanish not the English. The pool was freezing and only one indoor bar open , All in all the hotel is really good but i'm afraid the bar staff and the food let it down ..." +Hotel,Date of stay: June 2015,Europe,Spain,Catalonia,unknown,Don't read reviews...,"Which makes it ironic that I'm writing one. I'm one to read reviews over and over before booking a place and getting myself into a right stress. The hotel itself is nice, clean, good location to beach and bars and has very friendly staff that work long hours. Food was OK but nothing to write about it does need to be improved. I had read about the pick pocketers before leaving and unfortunately we did have an experience with this luckily I already clocked what the man was trying to do and bent his finger til he let go and ran off. So do be aware of this as it was right outside of the hotel. It's not that bad, few tweaks needed but can't really complain for the price we paid but I wouldn't pay anymore. There is a good mix of Spanish Russian and English at this hotel so don't be put off by the racist ""rude Russian"" statement's you can't tie everyone with the same string it's 2015 for gods sake. I will say though we did book a pool view and didn't get one. Balcony was huge and made up for this.But thank you med playa for not being as bad as first expected!" +Hotel,Date of stay: May 2012,Europe,Spain,Catalonia,unknown,racist very spanish,"i came back from this shocking hotel on sunday, The show cooking was a joke, they have to learn about cross contamination same utensiles used for both meat and chicken. Depending on what chef was cooking, it was raw. The entertainment was shocking , i have never felt so left out or ignored in all my life. they had a kids disco that lasted 10 mins, 3 songs and 2 of them were spanish songs. They had live music which consited of a spanish girl playing a keyboard and all the spanish were up ball room dancing. My dad took my daughter up to dance and they all started looking down at them and stairing at them, my dad and another man was actualy asked to leave the dance floor or dance ballroom, which didnt go down well with any of the english speaking people. The thomas cook rep Luke was useless we complained on the 2nd day he said he would sort it but nothing happened we told him again and he told us that he didnt think were serious about complaining, seriously get a grip. The rooms were tiny, there were 4 of us to a room and they had 4 single beds all lined up in a row along one side of the room , therefore we had to get on and off the bed from the bottom. The aircon wasnt working, when i asked about this at the reception i was instructed that the aircon doesnt go on untill june." +Hotel,Date of stay: August 2018,United States,Massachusetts MA,Cambridge,unknown,Scam! Charged room fee deposit together and wont refund! Stay away! ,"I stayed one night at this hotel on August 24. The hotel itself is a bit off central Boston; however, nothing a short Uber ride won't fix. The property itself deserves its 4 start ranking. The room is spacious and has all the amenities; albeit I was surprised to see no complementary water and a simple 500ml bottle costing 3. Anyhow, the bathroom is very small, it is also dated and showing scruff marks; the bath itself was stained with dripping shampoo and conditioner from the containers on the wall. Not a very welcoming sight. My biggest complaint with this hotel is the customer service. The lady at reception checking me in was quite rude and racist, speaking and chatting with other customers while checking me in and ignoring me! ADDITIONALLY, while my room taxes fee was 188, she charged 263.85 to my credit card and told me 75 was refundable deposit; it is a hold and will be released after 1 week or so. Now has been 2 weeks since my check out and no refund, no release. I find it PERPLEXING that she combined the room charge and supposedly deposit HOLD into one charge, how can she release part of the charge laterI have sent them 3 emails by now, detailing my case, and have yet to receive an answer. So, if you want to have security and good customer service and do not want to be overcharged almost 100 with NO REPLY or explanation, please seek other plentiful options of nice 4 star hotels in Boston.SCAM alert! I repeatedly asked them to provide evidence that they released the deposit, they said they cannot. I have stayed in worldwide hotels and all other hotels could give me a credit slip saying the deposit has beened debitted back, but this one special hotel cant. Dishonest!

My colleague and I asked her for advice for a quiet place for private conversation. For the entire 2min conversation, despite me asking her multiple questions, she didn't even look at me a single sec.My room was not cleaned after a night of stay and a long day at the conference a sufficient reason for a 2 star. I went to talk to her after the conference in the late afternoon. She asked me 4 questions, ranging from ""did you put a do not disturb"" sign outside the door to ""did you check in just this morning"", instead of apologizing for the oversight. Basically she was trying to come up with all possible excuses not to arrange someone to clean my room, and blame me for their fault. Even worse, after a long discussion, she finally said she would arrange someone to come clean my room, which didn't happen after a 2hour dinner! Only did I call again after she left, her friendly colleague Mina apologized and literally found someone to clean my room in a minute.I wish Royal Sonesta stops hiring racist staff, and give them enough training to have the same attitude to all customs of all color." +Hotel,Date of stay: October 2017,United States,Massachusetts MA,Cambridge,unknown,Good location,"Good location only average rooms.

After ordering drinks at the lobby bar we saw that, the same door man was letting in other guests, who were wearing round neck T shirts. After half an hour we tried entering the lounge once again, and the door man stopped my friend once again, and said I cannot let you enter wearing a 2 dollar T shirt. When I asked him why is there a discrimination with round neck T shirts, he told me, for no apparent reason that you are Arabic and Im also Arabic now go.. when I told him that we were not Arabs but Indians, he very rudely said yeah Im also an Indian now just go away.

We arrive at the hotel ready to check to be greeted by Hamza, we were told we had to pay for the booking so we advised the booking has already been paid for and showed him the proof, he said this was a holding fee and we needed to pay again to get the holding funds refunded back to us, we agreed to do it, we tried with both a Visa card and a MasterCard and both were declined so he said we needed to pay cash, something about that didnt sound right to us, we asked to speak to the manager and he advised he would be in tomorrow after 11am. Hamza was very rude to us and refused to let us stay at the hotel, aswe were leaving Hamza followed us outside and started to hurl abuse at us calling myself a btch as well as other names towards my partner, he also said because he has our card details he would charge lots of stuff to it so basically being fraudulent.

The rest is a delusion and fake printed picture of how BrownLows Inn Hotel actually treat their guest. Be cautions if you are a person of colour Booking at this Hotel and looking for a relax and peaceful day off. Yes, there are still illiterate people out there who still thinks it's fine to behave racist towards people of colour.It was all friendly and smiling until I realised what I have gotten myself into. Ended up in a basement without window and no facilities. When I complained regarding this matter and others, I was asked how much I paid for the room and where did I book it. The staff seem to appear understanding, but in reality, they are mocking you. I was told by a lady working at the bar that if I didn't like the room, I could leave the same day or tomorrow as it was fine with them. And when I check out the next day, this same lady told me to get my refund I had to call booking.com and let them know that I have checked out. She even told me everything was fine on their side and she had already checked me out. But to my surprise, since I informed booking about my check out, the Hotel has not responded to any calls or emails from booking. I even went back to this same lady and alerted her that booking had attempted several time reaching out to the hotel and her respond' they don't have to call, they should just email us, and the mysterious manager will reply. However, till this date, they have refused to respond to any emails sent to them regarding this matter and refuse to refund me back the remaining stay. The lady I talked to at the bar had a redlooking hair colour at the time of the conversation, and I was directed to her most of the time to address my complaint. I assume she's the manager, although every time I had a conversation with her, she always mentions this mysterious manager whom I did not meet. Its a shame what I experienced at this hotel and no one regardless deserve this.Their staff appears to be friendly, but extremely racist towards people of colour. It's a basement or whatever it is that have been renovated to look like a modern standard, but do not be duped by the shine, cause its cover in dirt. Some of their room does not have windows, inadequate facilities, and no wifi access in the rooms. The bathroom had hair in the shower, the towel was very filthy, and the toilet was not clean, and they left the remaining of used toilet tissue. Although, it's doubtful whether some of the places do have these facilities, but yet, some customer will be deprived of this due to the colour of their skin. On the first night, I was harassed by one of their staff, a young guy by the name of Jane, along with an older guy who was sitting at the bar. The older guy sitting at the bar was watching TV. I was on the cell phone and did not want to disrupt him; hence I decided to sit on the other side of the bar. He knew I was in the bar but did not say anything until Jane came out and this older guy told Jane that, 'there is a black person in the hotel sitting at the bar'. Jane then went on by making this into laughter stating Is there a black person sitting at the bar. He repeated this three times. The older guy at one point left his chair and started walking towards me starring right in my face, and at that point, I felt threaten and unsafe, as I was the only black person sitting across the bar.I asked if everything was ok or if there was a problem. Jane then walked to the other side of the bar towards me and asked why I was sitting at the bar and if I was staying at the hotel. It was extremely scared and for the firsttime fear for my life to even spent the night at that hotel. I couldnt sleep that night and had to secure my door, and it was a nightmare. Since I left their Hotel and forward the matter to booking, they refuse to answer any call from Booking and refund me back. Avoid and Stay away from this Hotel, not safe and not worth the price. No one regardless their skin colour, religious, gender, ethnicity, or whatever, should go through such horrific experience I had at the Brownlow Inn Hotel.

First of all it wasn't the hotel that we paid for through the travel agency. When we arrived to the airport we were informed that the hotel was about 40kilometers from the hotel. That was not the truth. They failed to mention that they would be dropping off everyone else at their hotels which ended up almost being a 2 hour bus ride. The worst part of our stay was the fact that the majority of the occupants there were Russian. It mainly wasn't the fact that they were Russian but the fact that we are a biracial couple, made us the center of attraction wherever we went. Everything from sitting down eating, laying on the beach or simply sitting by the pool was VERY uncomfortable. The staff were not helpful in anything.

First of all I hate writing bad reviews; some people find things to complain about however I am warning people not to stay here.Firstly on a better note; the hotel was immaculately clean and in good working order. The rooms were basic but that's all we needed. The hotel was a fab location right in the hub of Lloret so everything was five mins walking distant.Sadly,95 of the staff were HORRENDOUS! On arrival all seemed fine but as all inclusive guests we were treated terribly. The staff would: ignore us when at the bar waiting to be served by walking away or starting a conversation with another staff member. One waiter 'Fernando' we believe he is called very very tall man is a racist towards English people. Would refuse to serve on occassions aswell as serve the wrong drink and verbally attack if questioned. Or he would prepare the drink and either throw it at you or walk off and shut the door. Another barman told us we eat too much, refused to provide us with food because we're greedy only asked for a plate of crisps and they would all talk about you in Spanish. They would shout at you if you laughed around the pool area and were basically sexist and racist!! I saw a few reviews and thought nah can't be that bad but it was. If it was any longer than 4 days I would of found other accommodation As part of all inclusive we were allowed drinks 11am to 11pm with brekkie lunch and tea and snacks in between.

It is not a 5star hotel at all at best it's a 3 star, I stayed here for 3 nights with a group of friends and by far the worst 3 night holiday ever.The disappointment began on arrival, the outside of the hotel was very run down not what any of us expected of a fivestar hotel. The room at first glance appeared clean but upon closer inspection, it really wasn't. On our first night, we found two cockroaches please see attached photos in the bathroom which were reported to the staff and they were very apologetic and got the cleaner to come and pick up the Cockroaches and clean the bathroom again. Next morning we went down for breakfast and the mugs and plates were very dirty, my friend made a cup of tea only to see lipstick stain on the mug which wasn't hers.The food was terrible and always undercooked in the end we decided to eat out of the hotel even though we paid for fullboard because we didn't want to risk getting food poisoning.The staff at the restaurant were very unapproachable, there was one in particular named Carmen, who was very rude at a point, she started pointing at us speaking Spanish to other guests at the hotel and they all started laughing at us. On our last night at the hotel, we found another cockroach this time a big one. We immediately reported it to the staff at reception, again they sent a cleaner to the room but this time before removing the cockroach the cleaner stepped on it and left all the residue on the floor, she then walks away until we asked her to come back and clean it. This was the straw that broke the camel's back, we decided to go to the reception and speak with the manager, however, the manager was unavailable so we had to spoke with the deputy manager who was incredibly rude, offensive and racist.She was unapologetic but offered to change the room, whilst she was making arrangements for the room change she explained to us that it is VERY NORMAL for the hotel to have cockroach because of the hot climate. She then said we should know this because we are also from a hot climate we were all black British. We were all dumbfounded by this comment and decided to make an official complaint to which she replied in a very aggressive tone ""we don't take complaints at the hotel and all complaint needs to be written directly to the government"". She gave us a form and instructed us to complete and return the form before 12 am in order for her to process it. At 11 pm we returned the completed form to her as instructed only for her to stamps it and inform us that she will no longer be processing it and we should send it to the government ourselves. She also said the turn around for complaints are between 3 to 6 months.When we asked her why she's refusing to process the forms she started shouting in Spanish and randomly said: ""oh well"".The next morning our transferred to the airport was arranged for 7:20 AM. Breakfast was due to start at 7 am but at 7.20 am they did not have any food or drink out. When we asked the staff what was going on they just shrugged their shoulders and walk off. This is literally the worst hotel I have ever been to. It is definitely not a fivestar hotel it is more like a poor quality threestar hotel.

The reviews for this hotel were however very good with the usual one or two exceptions There are always a few where someone blamed the hotel for the poor weather on arrival or expressed surprise and disappointment that they paid for five tourist stars and did not receive the seven star Burg al Arab!! Ignoring the trials and tribulations of the insanely or commercially motivated reviews left only good things said about all aspects of this hotel so we booked online and paid our money! Despite me being considered pedantic when it comes to receiving good customer service, we were not disappointed!Upon arrival at 22.30 we enjoyed a professional and friendly service in the reception including a very warm welcome from the Customer Services Manager Margarita who presented her business card and asked to be called at any time if we needed anything at all. A minor situation with the room two singles after only 31 years of marriage surely not saw a call to Margarita and the situation was rectified right away. Rooms are typically Cypriot with full floor tiling throughout, nicely decorated and with fully functioning Air Con. A pleasant and nicely angled balcony gives virtually all rooms a beach and sea view. We booked only BB and tended to explore Larnaca and the local village most nights so cannot comment on the dinner service. Breakfast however was delightful and the pool snacks at lunchtime very well prepared and presented and the service was so fast that if you were slow back to your pool side sun bed the food would beat you to it!!! I was also impressed by the responsiveness of the food management. When asked for a minor improvement to the breakfast food service this was put into effect the next day and was still operating on our last day. Big thanks to Cornel at breakfast. You could not have been more attentive. The restaurant crew all worked so hard and we loved our breakfast times in the restaurant overlooking the pool and sea before the real heat of the day arrived.Talking of the poolside; the hotel operate a booking system for the umbrellas and associated sun beds across the whole pool and beach complex. This worked very well and from the first to the last day we did not have any of the usual hassle up at 5 oclock to secure a position of defending a prime spot once territory had been taken!! The system worked very well. Make sure you select a good spot from the outset or if unavailable on day one look at the expiration date and be ready to move when a prime spot becomes available. Suggestion to Stavros. It would be good if a staff member checked for expired cards on a daily basis as most of the guests seemed unable to do this for themselves! I read somewhere that the hotel was stacked out with Russian guests along with some racially motivated comments not the case! Breaking news!! The Russians are now allowed to travel outside the borders of the Soviet Union and would you believe their economy now means some of those folks can afford the same holiday as you get over it guys. If it werent the Russians these people were complaining about it would, for the same small minded reasons, be the Germans. The whole of Southern Europe is now being visited by the residents of the former Soviet Bloc so you will need to go a lot further than Cyprus if you feel the need to avoid this situation. I believe the reason some of the Russian guests may seem to appear unfriendly is because English is not necessarily a priority for them as a second or even third language so it is probably a confidence as well as cultural thing! The management of the hotel led by Stavros, were visible throughout the day and night and spoke to my wife and me on several occasions to solicit feedback, explaining that they would rather hear suggestions for improvements right away rather than seeing negative comments on trip advisor. Why any sane person would wait till they arrived home to mention some minor problem beats me!! We rarely re visit the same location or hotel for our summer vacations but if we were to reconsider this decision then the relaxed and hassle free holiday enjoyed at the Golden Bay Beach Hotel would be the reason.

They said all the rooms were taken now, but five minutes later a Chinese couple came in, and they gave them a room. Apparently, there is a double standard. When we asked the reception to help us find something else, they wanted to send us to a hostel with only dorms, which only had space for one night, and they were very rude. When we asked for hotels in the neighbourhood they said there were none and were very rude again.This is a very unfriendly, bad hostel.

So we did.The people at the bar were two old married couple that owned the bar and they were from Belgium. First thing they asked us was that if we are English and we said no we are from Ireland then they said that they hate English people when they come at the village i was really surprised as this was clearly rasism which i really hated. The service at the bar was really bad they even gave out to us for ordering food all the time. As if we wouldnt pay for it .the prices at the restaurant and the bar were too expensive a can of Redbull costed 3.50 and in Lidl in Calpe costed 1.50 , for a meal they wanted 37 which included a starter, main course and a desert. The place is too quiet they dont put on the radio or anything. You have to pay 15 for 7 days for the internet which is only for one phone/ device you want to use. You also have to pay extra money for the remote controller which was also 15 because you cant switch the programmes or put the volume on. The rooms were okay..but it could have been better for the money we payed though. The cleaning service do not come clean the rooms or bathrooms during the week and the service dont provide enough hygiene they didnt provide us with toilet paper or anything. It was fine with us as we hired a car from victoria car hire but for someone who doesnt drive or cant afford to hire a car its complicated. A man that lived near us went to the bar and asked them for a toilet paper and they told him you have to buy it your self we do not provide toilet papers. Which was horrible.However i wouldnt advise this holiday resort to anyone beacause the service at the village is awful, mean, not willing to help the people that are there and plus they are racists.

If I could give this racist poop hole NO stars I would. I haven't lived in Prince Rupert for 5 years and have only stayed at this hotel maybe twice in my life. My boyfriend Josh Bunce and I were in town for the Craft Fair and chose to stay at the highliner. While I was at the fair, my boyfriend went to check us in. The lady working the desk was HEIDI and upon checking in my boyfriend had a very pleasant conversation with her. My boyfriend sad she was very chatty and bubbly. She was super friendly and helpful and checked my boyfriend in and charged him no problem. When she asked if he would have a guest he said his girlfriend Kylee Ryan would be staying with him. Well it's like a switch was flipped. She suddenly got very uncomfortable and didn't know what to do. My boyfriend was very confused and asked what the problem was. Heidi mentioned that some RYANS were on the banned list and she would have to double check. My boyfriend was even more confused as we have stayed at this hotel maybe twice. He mentioned we were from out of town. I grew up in rupert and there are a lot of ryans here. My grandpa chimed in and mentioned my mothers name and heidi responded sarcastically that she knew my mother very well. Heidi skimmed the banned list 4 times desperately searching for my name. When she didn't find it, she slowly handed my boyfriend the keys and said ""no partying"". My boyfriend picked me up and told me about his experience and how uncomfortable he felt about the way Heidi acted when my family name was mentioned. To clarify, my sister and I went to school with Heidi's daughter and Heidi didn't like my family based on assumptions her daughter made. Fast forward 3 hours and we go to our room, we were on the tenth floor and put our belongings in the room. We went to the front desk because we had a family friend arrive and he needed a room. A different lady was working at this point. When my boyfriend gave her his name, she was confused as his name wasn't in the system. We explained we had just put our things in the room and our keys were working, she asked to see the key and my boyfriend handed it to her and she literally snatched them from him and said ""sorry your room is cancelled."" She would not tell us why it was cancelled or why we weren't even notified. And she would not let us grab our belongings from our cancelled room. We spent 20 minutes trying to let her get our belongings or tell us why the room was cancelled. Finally she gets the manager and he comes in looking grumpy and all huffy immediately. HE WOULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY OUR ROOM WAS CANCELLED!!!! He escorts us to the room, and I am asking him to clarify on what the heck was happening. He was being extremely rude and arrogant and still wouldn't give us answers. I asked if he was kicking us out because I was native and my last name is Ryan and he responded ""we do not want your business."" I was appalled. Haven't been home in years and this is how I was treated trying to stay here. Not to mention my name was not even on the room It was all under my boyfriends name who ISN'T A RYAN obviously. So we had been kicked out by this racist jerk who ASSUMED because I am a ryan that I was going to be partying. He kicked us out on that assumption and Heidi's vendetta against my family. So thanks Heidi and David for your absolutely disgusting customer service. Do you not understand where your business is located! Refusing aboriginal people business on disgusting racist prejudice. Is it just me who thinks people working in customer service should not be judgemental, bigotry jerks!! This situation could have been handled way differently. Heidis job is literally to take our money, give us keys and thats that. Not judge people and decides its up to her who can and cannot stay at the Highliner. We immediately left and went to Inn on the harbour literally across the street. Checked in with NO PROBLEM. The lady working was very polite, the room was the same price as the highliner except the rooms at the inn on the harbour are 1000x better than the highliner.

I dont know how it can be a 4 star hotel." +Hotel,Date of stay: November 2010,South America,Brazil,State of Bahia BA,unknown,Offensively Racist Stay Away if you care about human rights,"Speaking as an experienced world traveler and a repeat visitor to Brazil, I found the Pousada do Pilar to be one of the worst stays I've had anywhere on the planet. Not because of the accommodations, which were better than average, or because of the location, which was okay though not spectacular. I'm white and my girlfriend is black. I speak fluent Portuguese, but it was her first trip to Brazil so she was at the entry level with the language. We're from the U.S. and are not strangers to funny looks and worse from intolerant strangers. I'm also fairly aware of the forms racism takes in Brazil, and that the image of a black woman who happens to look like a Bahiana and a white man creates certain assumptions in some Brazilians' minds. But we weren't prepared for what happened at this pousada. Arriving at the pousada door after a Saturday night out, we were let in by the portero on night duty. I told him in a clear voice what room we were staying in, so that he could give us the room key. He immediately informed me in a very stiff manner that ""irregular persons are not allowed in the pousada"" a literal translation of what he said. I suspected racism right away, and asked him what he was talking about. He repeated himself and said I'd have to pay extra to bring a 'guest' in. Which told me two things: 1 he assumed my girlfriend was a prostitute, and 2 they seem to allow this kind of thing at the pousada. I told him he was being very offensive and racist, and that this was my wife in Brazil there are two definitions of 'wife/husband', one of which is a kind of commonlaw version when two people live together. I think my vehemence in confronting him caused him to rethink, because he then shuffled some papers on the desk and said he'd confused me with another single guest who was staying at the pousada. This in spite of the fact that I'd clearly stated upon entry what room we were in. I again told him he was racist and that I'd be speaking with the manager. He denied the racism, claiming it was a case of mistaken identity. We got the same song and dance from the manager the next day, and NO APOLOGY FROM THE POUSADA OF ANY KIND, which didn't surprise me much since the manager and the doorman had clearly gotten their stories coordinated. Though not surprised, this denial only added insult to our injury. I would say these people need to learn how to run a business at the very least. Amateur and parochial. Minus five stars." +Hotel,Date of stay: January 2016,Asia,India,Goa,unknown,Worst hotel staff! Begum receptionist is very racist!,"The rooms are amazing. But the staff is very very rude and racist.

But then I checked online , I found rooms! So I booked it! They lied because they said they don't give rooms to Indians!! We stayed in this hotel for two days:1st day we reached. We asked for soap. They said , soap is finished. So they cannot provide soap. Then remotes of AC and TV didn't work. Because out of batteries ! AC made a lot of noise in the night!

They will reap you in exchange3, Staff are complete Racist, they knew I was not European hence they didn't bother to worry weather I was happy with their decision or not. I saw them talking to others very nicely4, I was planning to stay for a week but decided to stay 2 days after the first dishonest interaction at reception but since I paid I thought of staying one night and leave next day. I asked them I am letting you know one day in advance can I get refund. She just said I can't, not even bother to say anything and was busy watching movie on her computer. I told her very clearly that I travel a lot and this is not acceptable I will write review about you and she still smile and say nothing.Location is the only good thing about hostel nothing else.

However, I would not suggest going if you are a lone female traveller with children,or even a couple with children. I went alone with my children and the first 2 days were great there was a different lifeguard on each day. They were fine, they allowed my children to enjoy themselves in the pool. I obviously made precautions to put my children in the correct swim gear etc the pool area is lovely and you can easily keep a watchful eye on they as the loungers go right round the pool its small. Day 3 we had a different lifeguard and he was there until the end of my stay. He ruined our holiday! My children werent allowed to do nothing, they werent allowed bouncy balls from the bouncy ball machine at the pool, they werent allowed the lilo or football we purchased from the hotel shop, they werent allowed in the shallow end, they asked why they kept getting shouted at!The rules changed on a daily basis,The lifeguard knew I was alone and targeted me shouting at me constantly. He humiliated me constantly in front of other guests. He understood every word I said but refused to speak English. He was racist, he was sexist and he was trying to intimidate me for 5 days. When he put his rules in place and I was on my balcony he would watch up at me and allow foreign children to do what my children couldnt. I endured 5 days of him watching up at my balcony constantly. The hotel manager didnt want to know and said I need to follow the rules there were no clear rules by the pool so when I questioned the actual rules because they were inconsistent and changed daily and the lifeguard clearly ran the hotel his exact words were I will throw you out of my hotel with your children! My Thomas cook rep tried to help but the hotel refused to liaise with her and she actually paid for me to go out for a day out of good will because she witnessed the abuse for herself! One morning my toaster set alight my room filled with thick black smoke and the hotel staff couldnt care less. Im not the type of person to complain, Ive never complained in my life, Im happy with cheap n cheerful but the customer service in the hotel was appalling. Ive never been victimised for my race or gender before but here I was. Id avoid at all costs if you are English, female and have children.

Not suitable for family but suitable for solo/ couples travelers It's still trial and error for them but I'm sure it's gonna be better when it's fully ready. 1 The Room. It's simple but nice The bed is super comfy! Personally i prefer the garden view more than pool view because it offers more privacy. 10/10 for the room. 2 Private Beach. During high tide is beautiful but surely not during low tide. You can expect all beaches at Kuah to be ""meh"" during low tide. You can't swim during low tide and you can see few dogs prevent you from going to the beach during low tide. 7/10 for the private beach. 3 The staffs. Some are friendly, some will only friendly if you're ""white"". You can't work in hospitality industry if you wanna be racist. 4/10 for the staffs. 4 The Surroundings.A bit isolated, but it's their concept. It's not fully done so a bit of construction can be heard. At night, the dogs barking nonstop. The sound of the forest is really calming though. 6/10 for the surrondings." +Hotel,Date of stay: December 2018,Asia,Malaysia,Kedah,unknown,Racist False Advertising.,"1. Check in is at 3pm and we were there for checkin on time only to be told our room is not ready because the previous guest decided to extended their check out hours and they couldn't give us a time of how long we had to wait.Unfriendly receptionist2. False advertisment we have booked a family room 1 queen 2 single bed.The owner/ investor Joe Chong bluntly said, full arrogance that such room does not exist and admits it was false advertising.3. Racist Management, the solution to our situation was to take 2 separate rooms behind facing the construction ground else we can leave if we are not happy with this alternative and apparently all pool facing units are taken there is nothing more he can do for us. No remorse and no apologies, all done full with arrogance and gangster like attitude. Mind you this was after close to an hour waiting to be checked in. During our wait at the lobby we noticed another group of foreigners were facing the very same issue but their matter was handled differently by Joe. He repeatedly apologised to them and gave them an 'upgrade' to side by side pool facing roomswhich during our time was apparently not available and there was nothing he could do about it but when foreigners of a certain skin colour had the same issue everything was possible.4. The resort is located is a rather isolated area which transportation is an issue unless you rent your own car. No eateries walking distance or at the establishment. In my opinion not suitable for families as the rooms are very small, bathrooms have no doors. Don't be fooled by the private beach either. Anything extra you need in the room example hairdryer requires a separate deposit to the on that you have already paid during check in.5. The only good thing about this place is the pool but that is surely not enough for me to recommend this place or ever return to it again. For the price they charge there are many other better resorts in Langkawi with superb customer service and facilities. Potential is there but the group that runs the resort needs to be changed or at least trained. Rude, unprofessional, arrogant and very obviously racist. 6.

Tried to clean up our bags and almost ready to go when an employee/manager named IAN marched into our room and told us to ""GET OUT"" and that everything left in the room will be thrown away. I was in shock and confused if it was normal for hotels in New Zealand to have you out of the room at a specific time! As an owner of a business, regardless of his position, he was very unprofessional and in our eyes RACIST! We are of light brown skin and my father darker years of construction in Hawaii.

I have never experienced such racist, atrocious customer service in my life, I have traveled across the world and this was the most horrible experience we ever had.

DO NOT GO HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE TREATED LIKE GARBAGE!!!!!!!,"THE MOST RACIST TREATMENT I EVER GOT FROM A HOTEL!!!!!! DO NOT GO HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE TREATED LIKE GARBAGE!!!!!!! Our story starts at the end of December 2016 when my boyfriend was supposed to travel to Dubai. He booked a single bed at Montreal Naif Hotel. A couple of days prior to departure, I was able to take off from work and join him as well, so we changed the reservation to a double bed. Once we reach Dubai, after a 24 hour trip, we get to the hotel and discover that we are not allowed to go into the room. THE REASON!! The receptionist told us that interracial couples are NOT ALLOWED TO SLEEP IN THE SAME ROOM AND THEREFORE WE CANNOT GO UPSTAIRS. I want to mention that my boyfriend and I both live in Canada. The receptionist said that it doesn't matter where we live because they could get fined by the police for allowing interracial couples sleep in the same room. They said that it's against the law in Dubai for interracial couples to sleep together. We calmly explained that we are able to pay extra to get the room and we were still denied. At which I asked the receptionist what should we do Should we go sleep on the streets To which he simply gave us a shoulder shrug. I need to mention that this was close to New Years in Dubai and that all hotels were completely booked. Eventually, they started blaming agoda.com, the website through which we booked the room. After being on the phone with Agoda for hours, the customer service representative said that such law forbidding interracial couples to share a room seems absurd and that they are willing to speak to the hotel manager to clarify the situation on our behalf. Of course, the hotel manager was nowhere to be found for hours. We spent a total of 6 hours in the hotel lobby trying to persuade the receptionist to allow us to enter the room. I'm going to mention again that our trip to Dubai was 24 hours on planes, so we were exhausted. We tried to go up in the room to at least freshen up and leave our luggage in a safe spot and we got called on the phone IMMEDIATELY to come downstairs. At this point, it felt like harassment and racial discrimination. Eventually, after many long hours and back and forth conversations they allowed us to access our room for an extra cost. They eventually denied all racial discrimination and said that they only wanted us to pay extra and let them know ahead of time. This experience made my boyfriend and I want to NEVER GO BACK TO DUBAI BECAUSE OF THE RACISM AND HORRENDOUS WAY TO TREAT TOURISTS!!! DO NOT GO TO THIS HOTEL!!!!!!" +Hotel,Date of stay: July 2011,Africa,South Africa,Eastern Cape,unknown,new ownership,"I booked a snorkelling/diving trip for the sardine run in South Africa and we were lodged at the Spotted Grunter Resort.

But I can tell you that it still takes them around 45 minutes to cook everything. The trick is to be earlier than other people so you'll be the first one served or be a lot later so you don't have to wait longer than necessary. They take so long because they don't have anything precooked so there's no waste which I think is a good idea and certainly worth the wait and you'll have everything freshly cooked. Having said that, the food was excellent. I had different things every day of my stay 10 days and all of them were good. I've got absolutely no complaints about the quality of the food. They were very forthcoming in out wishes regarding the food. However, if you find the food expensive, there's a supermarket across the street and there are all kinds of cooking utensils available in the room.One of the downsides is that there are power outages every evening, but that can't be helped by the staff/owners. That happens all around Port St. Johns.Another downside is that they have gasheated water. Which means that when the gas runs out and you're in the shower all of a sudden there's no hot water anymore. Even though that happened to me the chance of that happening is very, very slim. And they fixed us up with a new gastank in notime. So all praise to the staff for taking quick action there.We were notified that ownership had changed a couple of months before and the new owners were trying to get rid of the ""bad"" name they have on the internet. I read the other two reviews and can understand it. I never came across any form or hint of racism in my ten days there.As far as I'm concerned this is now with the new owners a good option if you want to stay around Port St. Johns." +Hotel,Date of stay: July 2010,Africa,South Africa,Eastern Cape,unknown,"Beautiful setting, poor service","PROS:Beautiful Setting: The cabins are nestled in between mountains, and right on the river. My family and I made constant use of their deck overlooking the river. Rooms: Each unit has two rooms one with a queen bed, one with bunkbed, small tv, table, sink/fridge/microwave. Everything is very clean. In our 3 night stay, there was not one time the deck was being used. Canoing: For R30 you can rent a canoe for 1/2 day. I took my 8 year old cousin out and we had a blast, very relaxing. CONS:Shower: In our 3 night stay I was not able to have one decent shower. The temperature is temperamental, and even after some maintenance men came to fix it, it still did not work properly. My family and extended family stayed nextdoor to each other, and there shower was just as bad..can you imagine our frustration!Restaurant: DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT eat in the Spotted Grunter restaurant! Upon arrival, all the adults were craving seafood. Being right by the water we thought it'd be delicious boy were we wrong! We ordered sea food platters prawns, crawfish etc. The manager assured us ""it was to die for"", but that it is cooked slowly and would take 45 min we agreed it was worth the wait. 1 hr 45 min later we got our food and it was awful! In addition, the kids pizza tasted like cardboard. When we politely told the manager about our dissatisfaction she put her head down, mumbled something and walked away. Racism: On our last night as we had a BBQ outside our cabin, we found ourselves witnessing a completely unnecessary confrontation initiated by the owners husband and wife. At 8:30pm, they accused the Indian family nextdoor of having too many people in the cabin, of ppl complaining of noise certainly not us! and got in the father's face calling him a racist name. The owner apologized to us for our neighbors, and we immediately let her know we have absolutely no problem with the men. It was disgusting to see such ignorance and poor customer service, and we vowed we will never come back." +Hotel,Date of stay: July 2010,Africa,South Africa,Eastern Cape,unknown,Very clean but very racist,"On arrival, I was glad to have booked this self catering resort. I was happy with the location and the rooms were very clean. There is a lovely deck over looking the river which we loved. We spent as much time there as possible. We are not a fishing family, but I hear the fishing is great here too.The grounds are lovely with a very beautiful well kept garden. The braais outside the units were even cleaned and scrubbed every day. I was very impressed by that.We were excited to have a restaurant on the premises. Unfortunately this was short lived! The menu prices were very, very high. When we ordered we were told the meal would take 45 minutes to prepare. We didn't mind that as they warned us. Well! It arrived 2 hours later! Not only did it arrive so late, but it was awful. When asked if we enjoyed our meal, we very politely mentioned that the wait had been very long and that it wasn't great. The grumpy manager just gave us a look as if to say she didn't believe us and turned on her heal and quickly disappeared. We even overheard her in the bar next door telling the owner that we complained and he wasn't concerned either. I think that is very poor management on their part.We had some Muslim people staying in the unit next door to us and the following night the owners came down to the units and started shouting at them very loudly. They were being very racist and told them to leave immediately. I find that unacceptable. If they had a problem with them, they should have quietly sorted it out, not shout so everyone could hear. They then had the audacity to apologise to us the next day for the commotion the Muslim people had caused. They in fact, hadn't bothered us at all. On those grounds I would never go back there or recommend it to anyone else.Before that all happened, I would have highly recommended the place as I could live with the dinner problem as we just found other places to eat. It was very clean and well located. However, I find racism in this day and age in South Africa, absolutely unacceptable." +Hotel,Date of stay: June 2017,United States,Massachusetts MA,Saugus,unknown,Racist place and filthy people of color are not welcome in that place,"I brought a bed bug infestation from this place to my apartment it took me a very little by time to get rid of it and 1000 dollars later the iris guy at the desk is racist he doesn't rent to people of color there's no one at night can't even report the incident to no one until next day customer service sucks, I called two times to this motel the guy said that he has a lot of room left but 5 minutes later when I arrived to the motel with my girlfriend he said oh we are sold out .The same happened the second time I called And then a third time This is another example of racism in Massachusetts I've been coming to this motel for 4 years and nobody denied me any room just this guy .

She told me I could sit in the bar area, in a corner table out of view of the restaurant. When I left an hour later there was still plenty of tables available.It was nothing but discrimination, either because of my origin or because of my physical appearance.

Totally nasty and lacked any sense of how to service a client. We were on a redeye flight and hadn't slept in 24 hours. We asked to possibly checkin early. He behaved with no compassion as though it was unheard of and stated that the checkin time was 1:30p, instead of saying he would see what he could do. I began to fall asleep in the living room space. He was clearly a control freak and couldn't handle us hanging in the living room and ended up getting us a room earlier.He had mentioned that day that check out time was noon, however, the next morning he called the room demanding that we leave earlier than check out time then screamed it was because we checked in early. As I waited for my friend to come out, he rudely screamed at me saying we had caused problems while telling his mother or some elderly lady who tried to get me to wait outside. I refused and she asked if I was African. I was appalled at her racist nature and sarcastically said yes, just like you...Anyway, everywhere else we have stayed has been amazing.

Disappointed.","Wonderful, beautiful place to stay. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, wonderful country BUT the staff AND other guests at this hotel specifically white were extremely racist, ageist and sexist towards my family and I. Staff are definitely white fearing individuals. All white individuals needs are met before any other guests of colour. Made us feel really uncomfortable and unimportant even though we pay the same price if not more. Security guards are also racist and clearly have a problem with younger individuals as theyd pick on us at least twice a day maybe even three; harassing us with the same questions every time they saw us; they even went as far as to ask us if we stayed there. As if white or Europeans are the only individuals that can afford such a place. Pretty sure theyre not even natives of the country and they have the audacity to pick on other tourists. Eden Bleu really needs to look into the way they treat guests of colour especially because their country is made up of majority individuals of colour. Very disappointed." +Hotel,Date of stay: June 2017,Africa,Seychelles,Eden Island,unknown,"UltraModern, Clean and Comfortable Room with Very Helpful Receptionists","We booked a standard room at Eden Bleu Hotel and to my surprise upon my arrival the receptionist upgraded my room with an excellent view. All the details in the room are excellent. Nice bathroom, comfortable king sized bed and the balcony overlooking the view. Pool area is always clean and properly maintained. They also offer airport shuttle/taxi for 27 which is a 10 minuteride to the hotel. Guests can avail free daily shuttle to the Beau Vallon beach with free use of beach towel. I would like to thank Amanda, Veronica and the other lady in the reception who were very nice and caring so as the guys in the concierge as they let us leave our bags in the hotel for one week even after our checkout date. One thing I don't understand are the waitresses in the dining area for the breakfast buffet who seem to only focus in serving coffee to men. There were only three occupied tables that time and they did not seem to care offering me coffee, when a guy came, the waitress immediately offered him coffee. I am not sure if they are just being racist or I don't know what to say.. Also, when housekeeping cleaned the room it took very long time and she left the floor slightly wet from mopping that I had to dry it for 15 minutes with a fan so I won't leave shoe marks on the floor. I guess housekeepers should be trained to properly clean and dry the room.

She couldn't fined anywhere mentioned the fee but we paid it anyway because the situation was just ridicules and embarrassing and we wanted to get out of there. 3.

Jaya has a wellpracticed, slow, genteel manner, full of yes madam this and that. But this surface politeness is deeply deceptive; know that if you challenge him, the ugliness of his personality will come out.My driver and I frequently shared meals around the country, as is the case with many foreign tourists and their drivers/guides. We never imagined this nonissue would turn into a hostile crisis at this guesthouse. After all, this is a decision solely up to us whether we dine together is something between me and my driver; its not up to anyone else to dictate.We had informed Jaya and his wife that we both planned to have dinner at the guesthouse my driver had paid for a room there too. Shortly before dinner was ready, the wife knocked on my door and told me it would be ready soon. I asked her to let my driver know too, and she gave me a strange excuse that he would need to eat later at a separate table because his food needed to be spicier. Minutes later, Jaya also knocked on my door and reiterated the same thing. The whole thing felt very strange.Soon after, Jaya brought me out to the dining room, where I sat at the main table with a friendly couple from New Zealand. I mentioned to them in passing that my driver was still waiting to eat, apparently because separate food was being prepared for him. The New Zealand couple rightly said there was plenty of food indeed, with the huge spread of more than a dozen dishes, there was probably enough food to feed six people, and why dont you just knock on his door and get him to join us This made obvious sense there was plenty of food to go around, so why should he wait any longer We had eaten lunch together earlier in the day, so I knew my driver hadnt eaten in nearly five hours. My driver was surprised when I told him dinner had started without him, and once I returned with him to the dining room, mayhem ensued with Jaya and his wife, who bitterly argued with us back and forth that my driver was not allowed to sit at the table, even though I made it clear that both the New Zealand couple and I were perfectly fine with it. You would have thought that with the ferocity of their arguments that my driver was committing a serious crime, not simply trying to eat! Jaya and his wife flung around all sorts of excuses, and finally the real truth came out: Jaya does not want locals and tourists to mix. Essentially, in his ridiculously racist mind, my lowly local driver is only allowed to come out and show his face once all the foreign tourists have left the room.Jaya's wife finally said that if you want him to eat at the table with you, you need to pay the foreigner price for his dinner. To which I obviously said fine, just so the poor guy could eat! After more arguing in Sinhalese with my driver, she went into the kitchen and brought him back a separate plate of food even though he could finally sit with us, he was not allowed to touch the dishes on the table, only eat from that one plate of food! It was absolutely ridiculous you would think we were in British colonial Sri Lanka, not the 21st century. Both my driver and I were obviously unsettled and upset by the incident. I assure you this was no misunderstanding because of language my driver got the full version in Sinhalese but a very disheartening, unnecessary, ugly act of racism and classicism by the owners.From the dinner onward, Jaya proceeded to give me the cold shoulder, staring at me in stony silence until checkout the next day. Even when I returned from the Yala morning safari note that Jaya charged me Rs 6500 for the trip, while everyone else on my Jeep was charged Rs 5500 by their hotel, the same ridiculous racism happened again when I was served a late breakfast. Both Jaya and his wife suddenly claimed that breakfast was only included in my room rate, not my drivers room rate. If I wanted him to eat with me, I would need to pay an additional fee. To which I told Jaya flat out, Im going to take my driver out to a nice restaurant, as I prefer to spend my money elsewhere. At that, Jaya turned his back on me and walked away in anger.The final bill I paid for that sickening dinner was Rs 600 for me and Rs 700 for my driver, plus 10 service what service! The wife claimed that the small piece of chicken on his plate merited an extra 100 rupees. This is not a lot of money to tourists, but locally its a lot, and I can tell you that my driver and I have had shared much better meals together for a total of less than 700 rupees. Moreover, drivers who lodge at hotels are typically given a courtesy meal in their room rate, and he got nothing but a huge helping of racism. Clearly, this couple saw it as yet another opportunity to profit, even if they couldnt get their racist way in the end. But its not the money Im upset about but their shockingly racist, classist attitudes, and subsequent hostility toward me and my driver when we rightly challenged their ridiculousness. This horrible couple needs to wake up to the reality that the colonial period is long over." +Hotel,Date of stay: February 2017,Asia,East Timor,Dili District,unknown,Nice local staff but very racist and rude of Portuguese manager,"I am very sorry for the local staff who were very nice to me when I stayed for 10 days but the owner / manager was so rude and racist too.

We soon discovered as well as being the most rude member of hotel staff we have ever met there was also a cash point two minutes walk away . Her rudeness increased as the week went on , we also noticed as soon as some of our staff saw our ""green band of shame "" which showed we were from the UK we were treated apalingly! However to the hotels credit Thomas behind the pool bar was really lovely and hard working and should probably get a promotion . Also the childrens entertainer girl and a guy called the animator were nothing but smiley and friendly all week. The rude girl called Fatma should be avoided at all costs ! I also unwittingly started an argument amongst two members of staff as I asked for some milk. The waitress was yelling ""no milk no milk"" at me while the chef was yelling at her then they both walked off arguing leaving me with no milk . It was really weird. We also asked about air con in our room and told we would have to pay extra , apparently this varied between five and ten levs depending on where you were from. However the cleaners who were absolutely lovely and cleaned our room daily switched it on for us mid week and we didn't pay anything . I think it was by accident but it was much needed as without it we had to leave our window open at night and the street is really noisy as there is a pub across the road which has karaoke until the early hours of the morning and the seagulls are crazy noisy ! Despite all of this it turned into a comical week as the staff were so terrible and we managed to laugh it off and enjoy our holiday . There is a nice beach bar called Musai nearby and if you go into old Nesebar there are some great restaurants and museums.

First off, they are unprofessional they got our reservations wrong several times thank goodness I emailed twice to check before arriving. Secondly, they have no idea of proper customer service and their approach to problemsolving is to shout and gesticulate and keep repeating themselves ever louder and with more gestures. But the absolute clincher is the outrageously RACIST remark that one of them was heard to make to some guests who were checking out. Having lived in several multiracial countries for a long time, I can say that I have never, ever experienced firsthand anyone actually making such a disgustingly racist remark, the likes of which I can't repeat. The second 'receptionist', instead of apologising for her colleague, tried to cover it up in a very stupid way which was just as racist as the first remark. We were totally disgusted by this experience and checked out the same day. We took the train to Genova where we found a fantastic boutique hotel in the historical centre, with two wonderful suites that cost us less than our rooms in thefavelathatistheGianniFranzi, and which had highly professional and wonderfully hospitable staff." +Hotel,Date of stay: March 2018,Asia,China,Sichuan,unknown,Most RACIST Hotel EVER !!! AVOID !!!,"It is the most RACIST hotel I ever stayed! Not Asianfriendly. The front office staff is super racist and only favor Caucasian or White guests.I arrived at the hotel around 8 or 9ish pm. The IHG member checkin area was not staffed, so I queued up near the counter. I have been waiting there for couple minutes, and more people showed up and lined up after me. Then, two arrogant White men just cut the line and approached one of the front desk staff after the staff just finished checking in another guest. I politely talked to the two White men about the line in case they missed it. They took a peak and ignored what I just said. What's more furious is the front desk lady started to check in the two White men and ignoring the long line and the fact that they were cutting the line! I complained to the lady who checked in me, and she did not bother to apologize and reacted like it's not her business. Later, a lady in a suit approached and welcomed me as a Spire member. I complained to her about it once again, and she kept saying we upgraded your room but no apology at all. It turned out my room got upgraded to a higher floor, but the room type was exactly what I booked. I am Chinese and IHG Spire member. I am grateful for the upgrade but really disappointed about the racism experience, especially given that I am a Chinese staying in a hotel in China and discriminated for being a Chinese." +Hotel,Date of stay: July 2018,United States,Indiana IN,Fort Wayne,unknown,The worst stay racist and stealing,"I stayed here many times and yes Ive had an issue before but I didnt see any of the old employees or management so I thought I would have a great experience this time. I was incorrect..........My husband was made several keys by different staff which none worked. He ended up sleeping in the parking lot in his vehicle overnight as he attempted to waive, knock on the window to be let in with no response. As it was the middle of the night. He stated she say him but refused to open the door. Im not sure if it was due to race or profile. He is a large guy football player build and due to his job as a promoter he wheres a lot of jewelry but when he finally got in the next morning the housekeeper in front of the door was telling him that someone went into rooms andnstole kureigs, chairs and towels. I called the front desk the light before for his physical key because I had a digital key it did not allow 2 phones access. I brought this to the attention of 2 young women the next day as they were speaking about partying. They never apologized but kept stating the doors should never be locked and asking me the ladys name who was on shift . When checking out I attempted the same thing expecting my money back as my husband wasnt able to sleep in the room. She said sorry a manager would call me in 3 days. I went to a different hotel after this contacted corporate and was promised a refund as I called to speck with a manager personal and was told she informed the young lady when I was checking out to provide me bonus points. SERIOUSLY!!! I was promised a refund after Corp reaches the GM I looked in my account the next day and saw not on did the charge me for all day and it had cleared but the again had lots of money on hold status. I called to speak with GM directly to demand all money back and was told he/she wasnt there then in a meeting and would call me back........nothing. The hotel is racist, will lie, steal your money and over charge you. Dont waste your time" +Hotel,Date of stay: June 2018,Asia,Malaysia,Penang,unknown,Overall is average.. can get better rating if not racist treatment,"This is our first family trip with Holiday Inn with the kids. They like the swimming pool and the kids facilities. However, the PS3 station was not working on the first day, it took 7 hours for the maintenance team to confirm that the playstation is not working and they will change it on the next day for us. On the next day, playstation is changed. However, remote Controllers are not tested if they are working.. obviously they are not working... another 2 hours of waiting again... kids are quite disappointed with the playstation for not able to play on the first day. Duty manager Asvaty offered us with deducted room rate and igh points and a brownie for all these issues... I was delighted with the good attitude from the receptionist and duty manager.On the next day morning, we went down to hotel cafe for breakfast, Susie served us at the entrance of cafe, at that time cafe is busy as usual. We asked for a big table for 6 persons, as we have 3 young kids, one of them is 3 years old. She was reluctant to go in or ask other staff, and told us that no big table, we need to split to 2 small tables. Furthermore she said we already have 1 person came down before us, which we did not.. we as a family with young kids.. everyone goes everywhere together. She dropped that topic, and continue to asked us to split if not have to take the big table under the sun without shade. In my mind, I was thinking will she take that seat if she in my position I told her let me think, then just had a short talk with my hubby, less than 5 sec. She asked us to help her and dont make things complicated with unhappy facial. Im very puzzled why she said that, but did not argue with her.. we decided spilt table, but want 2 tables to be near to each other, so that we can take care of our children. Again, without checking table availability by herself or her staff, she continued to stand there and said no tables near to each other.. we need to split with 2 far tables away! This time, Im pissed and I walked in there cafe and checked it by myself. There are more than 5 big tables are available, some are clean tables some are dirty. I asked my family to come over to join me with the big tables. I did her job and she did not say anything about it, just insisted no big table for us, this is very lousy service that I ever experienced. One more unprofessional and racist which I noticed from her is when I walked to search the table, she immediately changed to smiley facial, and turned to the back forgein white guests, very warmly apologised to them for keep them waiting.. the whole episode of this, making me feel like Holiday Inn service staff is very unprofessional and racist!!!! On the first day, I told my husband we shall come back again on Dec for the kids holiday, after this bad and awful experience, Im not sure if I will come back again. You should learn from Starbucks, close the hotels and have a racist training for all your staff." +Hotel,Date of stay: August 2006,Asia,Malaysia,Penang,unknown,Avoid this hotel,"The location of the hotel is brilliant shame you can't say the same for the hotel itself or the staff. The hotel is very dated and is in desperate need of a major refurbishment. At this moment I would not advise anyone to book this hotel if it maintains its current standards of service. Travelled with my young family and disabled mother and without wishing to sound racist, we were very intimidated by the muslims wearing veils and their general behaviour ie some actually spat at my children in the pool. The staff were fully aware of this behaviour but seemed to condone it as the whites were in the minority. Didn't serve pork either only seemed to cater for muslim tastes rather than an international cuisine. Don't bother going to this hotel, there are plenty of other four stars which are actually four stars and are of a better quality and service." +Hotel,Date of stay: March 2018,United States,Georgia GA,Alpharetta,unknown,Racist Staff,"The room had bad smell, very nosiy air conditioner, noisy due to adjacent laundery roombathroom has shower for disabled people and it is not accessible even to take a shower.

I left a bag with my passport at reception, when tried to collect they said they had no bag, and the guy I gave it to had disappeared to mainland Spain apparently, used phone in manager office to phone consulate and my son spotted my bag there minus pasport ! Needed emergency passport to get home 119 euros Bar staff Argentinian and agressive and racist to Brits. My 2 children dreaded going back there each evening, I really cannot see how they are still allowed to operate All said and done if you like staying in a rubbish dump and having your posessions stolen and being abused racially, this is the place for you !" +Hotel,Date of stay: January 2018,Africa,South Africa,KwaZuluNatal,unknown,The Managers are not friendly and the other guy was so racist,"I was booked for 2days from the 30 January 2018 and checked out on the 1 February 2018.I can start by saying the staff at the reception are very friendly and accommodating. But the the experience i had with the managers was another story. The called Khanyi she is not friendly at all, but maybe that how she was thought to be not friendly to black clients. Then the Bad part about this hotel was when the motor bikes guests booked the hotel, everything started changing for us black guests. we were chased away from eating a buffet with the other guests, and if we were dishing up this guy Willoh or i dont remember his name who was at the buffet had so many question about , you guys dish up a lot of food and again you still eating he had a lot to say to us black people.I'm not racist , that why i hate it when someone becomes racists to us. The guy who was in charge of our conference venue...I give him 100 , he is very good with his guests.All i can say is this , Look into your managers, they are not doing their jobs right." +Hotel,Date of stay: June 2018,Europe,Italy,Veneto,unknown,Racist Statues in the Lobby,"The hotel was very unique and quaint. You could tell it was quite old from the decor. Our room was for 3 people and actually had a second level where there was a bed in an attic type of thing. And it had its own little balcony. It had a very cool view of the rooftops in the city. And despite its old age, it had great air conditioning. It has a great location and is close to the main square. The hotel staff at reception especially were phenomenal.The only thing is that there are two very racist statues in the lobby when you first walk in. I wish they would remove them." +Hotel,Date of stay: October 2016,Europe,Italy,Veneto,unknown,Racist Front Desk Officer Mauro,"We booked our room through Kayak which redirected us to happyrooms and for whatever reason, the booking agency happyrooms failed to pass the number of guests to the hotel. We booked the room for 2 adults and 1 infant 10 months old while the booking agency passed the information to your hotel as 2 adults. While checking in, Mauro was curt and told us that he can't allow the baby 10 months old to check in with us since we hadn't mentioned it in our booking but he being broad minded that's how it looked like he would allow, but we may be charged extra for the infant.We have faced this situation before as some booking agencies don't consider infants under 1 year old, that cosleeps with parents, as ""child"". When we asked him why would we be charged extra when the infant is going to cosleep in the same bed, Mauro almost accused us, as if we were sneakily trying to bring in another person to stay with us. He also remarked that, ""May be in your country, you can book a hotel for 2 people and let 8 stay, but it doesn't work like that in Italy"". He assumed and accused us as if we had intentionally left out our infant in the list of people staying with us. When we tried to explain him our point we were asked to first listen to what he had to say and we were lectured for about five to ten minutes wherein, he remarked, ""May be in your country, you can book a hotel for 2 people and let 8 stay, but it doesn't work like that in Italy"". With what temerity did he utter those words Looking at our skin tone and assuming stereotypesWe would like to ask Mauro, if he had ever visited our country, Singapore. Singapore is a thousand times systematic and organised than Italy and please be mindful of your words. We don't write reviews complaining unclean linens or toilets, because we believe, you get what you pay for. But service and attitude That has to be top notch, regardless of the star rating if the hotel.Mauro also told us that, he will have to ""withheld"" our passports for 30 minutes for police verification and we we were made to wait for nearly 45 minutes at the reception before we got our keys. But our passports weren't given back to us and when asked again to another receptionist he told the same reason. We asked him to take a photocopy and give our passports back which is the norm in every hotel and yes we got it after another ten minutes. Why was our room not ready, despite we checking in after almost 2 hours past the ""Checkin"" time When the fault was on your end, why were we blamed forWe totally understand and agree that there was an error in the booking that was neither our fault nor yours. But the way you talk to your customers is unacceptable. Treating customers like criminals and ""withholding"" passports and making racial taunts at them Horrible experience.On the plus side, Andrea was very helpful and so was the other receptionist forgot his name, a short guy with spectacles. The breakfast was also good. I would have easily given this hotel a 4 star rating, but racism has absolutely no excuse and I'm shocked and horrified by the experience I received. Hope this review helps other prospective Venice tourists." +Hotel,Date of stay: October 2013,Europe,Turkey,Turkish Mediterranean Coast,unknown,First holiday together,"We'd been looking for an allinclusive holiday on a budget for the October half term and gone in to loads of High street travel agents to be told we would get nothing on our budget. I then discovered Green Dot Travel, would highly recommend going through this company ask for Rinkal they were so hopeful. We arrived just before dinner on the 29th October, and we were completely blown away; yes it's probably not 5 stars by some peoples standards if you go to Jamaica and places like that... but for two 18 year olds, Beach Club Doganay was out of this world. Our transfer had took about an hour and a half I'd recommend going with smaller companies as there is less drop offs and our friends took 3 hours with their transfer. We were taken up to our room very quickly and we were VERY HAPPY with it, found the extra single bed odd but hey ho, just used it to put out bags on as we packed our clothes away etc. Loved that they had a bath, found the tap a bit rubbish so I'd run it with the shower head, but I couldn't complain as I was just happy to have a bath really haha. The food was great and my boyfriend loved it, but after about 4 days it was getting a bit repetitive and they stopped the live cooking outside as the end of season was nearing. We were completely gutted that we never got to eat at the a la carte, we went to book a table and they were fully booked then closing 4 days before our stay was over! Another complaint was the poor quality of desserts, I have a proper sweet tooth but found nothing very nice the whole week... I couldn't see any evidence of racism from the Turkish staff towards the English till about half way through the week where one of the waiters with filthy fingernails ew, would put extras in the cocktails for the Russians then ask us English to pay extra or point blank refuse, we ended up reporting him to the night manager and he never bothered us again! Entertainment was great on the nights we went to them but not long enough in all honesty, the free shuttle bus was brilliant too but we also caught the other bus on occasions and that was only about 1 anyway. The walls were a bit thin in the rooms too, I kept hearing an Arabic man singing in the shower when I went in the bathroom, the free use of the safe was good also. Mini fridge was restocked daily, but our friends on the first floor didn't get this treatment. We found some good television for when we were getting ready on the nights etc, which was good. The phones to buy phone cards for were rubbish and wouldn't phone back to the UK, i'd suggest using the machines in Alanya harbour rather than the ones in the hotel by the shop. The indoor pool should have been heated really, i think the idea of free turkish bath and sauna was good but i didn't fancy having a fat greasy man rubbing me down in all honesty... I nearly had an asthma attack in the sauna and it burnt the inside of my nostrils but don't let that put you off as I'm probably a bit of a drama queen aha.All in all a really good stay, I'd suggest going to Kleopatra Beach as the sand is marginally better than that of the private beach and it doesn't cost much to hire a sunbed for the day, the selection of all inclusive drinks was excellent and I really liked the seating area near reception, would recommend to others, and I myself would come back if I hadn't already been to Turkey a few times. Really good value for money!" +Hotel,Date of stay: November 2013,Europe,Turkey,Turkish Mediterranean Coast,unknown,"Poor management, racist staff","I have stayed in many nonEuropean 5 star hotels and know what to expect. Last year we stayed at the Viking Star in Kemer also Turkey which we gave 5 stars to on Tripadvisor and paid a similar price for. However, this hotel was extremely poor in comparison. It was no 8 on Tripadvisor when we booked and is now no 20. Having looked at other reviews on this website, we can only conclude that different people receive different treatment at Beach Club Doganay or standards have dropped a lot.Our rooms were grubby and dirty see pics, dirty carpets, damaged bathroom, dirty staff area directly outside our rooms where staff would sit on the floor at different times of the day, blocked bathtub that was not fixed despite request. Two days after raising the issues we were offered a familly room which we did not accept as it was smaller than the two rooms we had paid for. We were then showed a larger clean suite but were asked for 50 euros per night extra, when we refused to pay the manager said 30 euros. When we said we had paid for 2 rooms already and were not happy, they eventually offered two cleaner rooms which we settled into.This hotel is unique in that the management do not care about customer experience. I showed the General Manager Mr Mustafa the pictures I have posted here as well as the Front of House Manager. The General Manager just made excuses that the room would be refurbished after the season offering no alternatives and the Front of House manager was just plain rude, with no manners in how he dealt with guests. Staff in general, apart from reception staff, were not friendly or helpful.On top of all of this, two in our group of 6 became sick with severe stomach bugs during the trip. My wife met a lady from Manchester in the restaurant who told us her son amongst other guests were also very sick with the same thing, her son ending up in hospital on a drip for two days. She kindly gave us some mild tablets to settle the stomach. On return to the UK our doctor said the illness was most likely due to poor food hygiene, and I did notice flys sitting on food during breakfast.I also felt that one waiter in the restaurant in particular was racist. He would pull out chairs for European guests but when we asked for basic things like cutlery he would ignore us. I mentioned this to the waiter earlier on and to one of the managers on my last day when he was in the restaurant, he seemed to take the issue seriously but then approached the waiter, chuckled something and walked on.One big negative was that the indoor pool is not heated and cannot be heated. For a late season holiday this is a must, as our children normally spend two hours a day in the pool during holidays. This was not possible at this hotel.The hotel is isolated and Alanya has little to offer apart from the Castle and the beach. The beaches in south Turkey are poor compared to other countries we have visited with stony/grainy sand and narrow strips of beach.I would not visit this hotel again or recommend it to anyone as I have done with Viking Star. Overall we had a poor experience which spoilt our holiday. There are many other hotels in the area, don't take the risk book elsewhere." +Hotel,Date of stay: May 2018,Europe,Germany,Berlin,unknown,"Awesome Property, Snobbish Unfriendly Staff","Booked room ""King Delux with View"". While booking the hotel the pictures which hotel has uploaded were not true and deceiving. The room category I booked the pictures were showing the view of the church with bathroom tub facing it, that was the reason to book the room which is eastside facing. To my surprise, when i reached the reception the receptionist ""Tatjana Shorling"" talks me into having a west side room which is suppose to be equally exciting according to her. Upon going to that room 1109, i see construction site from my room, i come down with my luggage complaining that this is not the room i booked, I show her my booking pictures of my room category. She says, these pictures are from our junior suite bathroom, and you have booked King Delux with VIEW, so the view could be anything and these are just some random pictures uploaded for the room category you have booked. So I was like ""Wow, waldorf astoria does that, so far the room category from any other hotels i book online, i always get the same or similar, not completely opposite of what is shown to me as a customer"" My argument was: So that means your marketing department has uploaded the pictures of Junior suite bathroom view to the church only to deceive customers booking the room and then you give them a view of noisy constructions site west side room claiming this is what you will get as a VIEW which is mentioned in your booking. I asked well if the view of the west side construction site is so exciting, why don't your marketing team uploads the pictures of that view and let the customers book the room anyway. Why this making a fool out of customers and lying to them. To my surprise, they did have the room with east church facing which Later she supposedly pretending to do me a favour gives me room, 1303 Which is still not the one I had originally booked had finally the west side church view. It was around 9pm checkin and having the room available with church facing, but not giving it to me and talking me into taking a room with an inferior view was very mean and unfriendly of her and its absolutely unfair trade practice to show something else online and give something else. Later that evening around midnight passing through the reception, I asked ""Mr.Joshua Beckel"" on the reception ""What time is the breakfast from tomorrow morning"" His reply ""Its from 6:30am to 10:30pm, but it depends if its included in your room tariff or not"". I have never heard a remark like this before after 25 years of my travelling. According to me while checking in, the receptionist, does ask you ""your room doesn't include a breakfast would you like to add it or the host at breakfast room informs you after asking your room number, that sir your room doesn't include breakfast and this will be additional charges. These are the two people you expect to get this information from generally, but asking just for the timing of the breakfast and the guy replies ""It depends if it's included in your room tariff or not"" is purely racial based. He wouldn't dare say that to some rich European guy wearing suit and Rolex on, walking around. I was very upset, and wanted to talk to the manager, who refused to meet and then i was sent the business development head Mr Sean Woods to listen to my complaint, and all he did was bragging about ""We are Waldorf Astoria"" ""If you have been traveling for so long, you should know germans talk like this, this how they talk"" blah blah blah. I told him, I am sorry but I do not agree with you, I have been to cheaper hotels than yours and I have been coming to Germany for 25 years for business, and never experienced this kind of biased treatment and judgemental remarks from the hotel staff, that it is the reason it's coming as a shock to me. Because my impression of Germans has been always straightforward yet friendly to their guests. Finally, next day i have moved the room which I was originally shown the pictures of online and which i had booked, but after all this talking and hassle. Staff at concierge, bell boy, breakfast room were very friendly. I would have checked out of this hotel for sure next day, if i hadn't set up all my clients meetings in this hotel already." +Hotel,Date of stay: February 2013,Europe,France,AuvergneRhoneAlpes,unknown,Worst hotel experience ever. Racist and rude owner!,"My wife and I stayed at this hotel after looking at the information provided but the information written has nothing to do with what we experienced. First of all the hotel does not have spacious rooms as stated. One of the two rooms we booked was different from the other and was as spacious as a coffin. Secondly the rooms are definitely not soundproof as we could hear our neighboring rooms' conversations. The hotel owners have 4 cats which live in the hotel and walk around in the kitchen, on our towels, bed sheets practically everywhere!!! Hotel smelled of cat urine.As my sister in law is allergic to cats and as the hotel did not provide the same room as seen on the pictures, they had to cancel their room. The owners charged them for a cancellation fee which they did not have a right to as they provided erroneous information and they duped us. Not only they overcharged us but the owner was insolent and very rude. The worse part was when the owner made screamed at us, made racist comments and told his wife they shouldn't accept our kind in their hotel." +Hotel,Date of stay: August 2013,Africa,Tanzania,Arusha Region,unknown,Racist policies stay somewhere else if you care.,"Unlike many other highend safari lodges, this group of hotels including the Seronera Lodge has racist policies that made our stay there very uncomfortable. We are a white American family and we ended up with an empty extra room bc our kids wanted to stay altogether in their own room. The extra room was nonrefundable so we offered it our safari guide, rather than leave it emptybutpaidfor. The manager refused to allow this and he would not budge, even when we pointed out that we paid for the room so we should be allowed our guest/friend to stay. The manager assured us that the guides'/drivers' quarters were lovely so we asked our friend to take photographs. The pictures revealed abominable conditions: filthy, crowded and with overflowing toilets. That is where he stayed, while our luxurious extra room remained empty. We did try to leave and stay elsewhere but everything was booked. The management also discouraged us form having our guide dine with us they eventually allowed it, but charged us a ridiculous price in trying to dissuade us form doing so. He was the only African man in the dining room, so I guess their tactics are normally successful. Other highend lodges we stayed in did not have these same segregated policies many encourage guides and families to dine together and provide the same or similar lodging. The racist policies here and at the Seronera truly ruined this portion of our magical trip. Our schoolage children were also horrified." +Hotel,Date of stay: September 2018,Europe,Turkey,Turkish Mediterranean Coast,unknown,Racist abusive dont go!!,"If you like being classed as 2nd class because youre British go here.I asked the manager for yoghurt for my little grandson to be told feed him mint dip! The food is typical all inclusive, the drinks are served in reusable dirty tumblers. The staff only speak to the Russians. The dj threatened my daughter and caused a big row, cause she done the thumbs done sign because again it was another Russian song! The manager did nothing! Even though staff members witnessed it. The dj called us liars, ok, what man says hes going to hit a 21 year old then goes to his possee who was a bristish woman who fancied him and tried to get them onside. Look out for the lady shell be soon in chat magazine for leaving her old man for a Turk . The life guards were that busy chatting up young girls, my daughter in law was pushed down the slide by a Russian and all they could do was give her some cotton wool! The male receptionist with glasses is the most arrogant person ever, we paid for a room only for him to come and kick us out an hour before our time was up! Ive read another review where hes done it before. I paid good money to stay here, and Ive travelled to turkey numerous times this s the first time we have ever experienced anything like this! Read though my other reviews. If I could give a lower score I would, racist they only want our money. The manager is a joke Seriously find another hotel, this is horrendous. Shame on you eftalia for letting turkey down. Shout out to Hanil the waiter, he was our sunshine, he should be manager! Absolutely lovely man. Fights every night always the Russians starting and they allow them to carry on drinking. Disgusting." +Hotel,Date of stay: October 2012,Europe,Turkey,Turkish Mediterranean Coast,unknown,Noisy and Crowded,"My partner and I returned from a week long holiday in Konakli at the Eftalia Resort Hotel this morning. Firstly, the hotel is spotlessly clean and the rooms are kept clean with clean bedding and towels every day. Also, little touches like shower gel, cotton buds, shower cap, sewing kit, shoe horn etc in the room. The maid that cleaned our room was friendly and very sweet although she did not speak much English well hardly any. In fact, when she asked us if we were German and we replied that we were English, she shook our hands and hugged me. More of this in a moment.If you are looking for a quiet peaceful holiday, then stay away. When we arrived, it was in the middle of a storm and therefore all outdoor activities were a no no. Therefore, the children's evening activities were right slap bang in the middle of reception area. Madness, as the receptionist could not hear us or we him due to the disco music blaring out. It was frankly a din. We later realised that there is a meeting room and on other nights, they actually used this for the kid's entertainment when the weather was wet. The room was ok, as I said, clean and had enough drawers and hanging space etc, but the main areas of the hotel and the lifts were tired and definitely need a refurbishment. For instance, the lifts were shabby and the furniture in the bar area worn and needing to be replaced. Also, lots of the chairs in the dining areas were broken and unstable.I must add here that I am not a racist in any way, but being outnumbered by about 1,000 Germans to around 30 of us Brits, we felt very out of it. The Germans were by and large, noisy, greedy, some quite rude and the children were so unruly running around the dining rooms and other areas knocking into people and waiters. Carrying hot soup and food in the dining room was a bit scary with hundreds of these kids running around. We were told by Thomas Cook that there would be few children around as it was not half term wrong! It was the German school holidays and there were hundreds of them there. They were waiting for food and lining up long before breakfast dining room opening and also lunch and dinner. We found it very difficult to get a seat at times and even turning up 10 minutes after opening, we found that our favourite deserts were all gone onto their plates. Honestly, they piled their plates up like there was going to be a food famine. Food, ok, but lots of chicken. Very samey and we have had better at other hotels in Turkey previously.The whole of the area is geared for Germans. The waiters approach you speaking German and shopkeepers around too. They even price things in Euros. If we had wanted to use Euros, we would have gone to Europe. We insist on paying with Turkish Lira as we are in Turkey and love Turkey as a country and the people too. When we did encounter another English speaking couples, we were embraced with glee as they could talk to us and understand us. I felt the holiday was very spoiled by the noise, crowds and difficulties at meal times in the hotel. We got out when we could and had fantastic trips as the surrounding area, especially Alanya and Manavgat are very beautiful. If travelling by Thomas Cook, then seek out other means of excusions. A lovely, helpful Turkish man has a little travel agents directly outside the hotel just up the road on the right. Does great excursions at a fraction of the price in the hotel. You just have to go on a pirate ship for the day food, entertainment, fun, swimming from the boat, excellent. Ours was Ali Baba boat. The captain dresses up as a woman and is a hoot.All in all, for noisy family holidays then you might like the hotel, but be warned,even the entertainment is German. Honestly, being English is not a good option in this hotel. We ignored the bad reviews, but I was in tears one night as we could not find anywhere to sit in the dining room, Germans 'bagged' tables for their large party of friends and family and I almost put my food down and walked out. Another annoying thing is that there was never enough cutlery, plates etc. Nobody seems to keep them washed up and flowing which is not good with such a high volume of people in the hotel. When juice machines or coffee machines ran out of coffee, milk, juice etc nobody replaced them and this happened most days.

We stayed at this hotel from 08.08.2016 till 165.08.2016. We got a room that not worth the money..i can say it look like a two stars hotel room. The bath there was soo little that a fat person can't fit in. In the second day of our seat, we received only cold water at the shower and they have not announced this problem I called at the reception and they said no ""sorry"" about this problem. If you don't have all inclusive, you receive water at price of 4 euro a bottle..even if you payd for lunch. They only beheave well with italian people. Every morning they bring cookies for 'colazione' but poor american breakfast for the rest only eggs, two kinds of ham and two kinds of cheese that's all. This hotel is too expensive for the services they offer. By the way, they don't tell you that you must pay the water...till the end. Nothing good about it. In the penultimate day they moved us in other room...and the reason for making this was a lie..they had other guests to put there from that day. It sucks!" +Hotel,Date of stay: November 2014,Asia,Thailand,Bangkok,unknown,Racist Staff,The reception staff is way too racist! Don't go there if you concern about racism! A group of my friends went to check into that hotel and the staff let only some people check in and refused to let some others to check in just because of their religious outfit! See how rude and racist they are +Hotel,Date of stay: August 2017,Asia,Japan,Chubu,unknown,Racist CheckIn Staff Ruined My Experience,"What would have been a otherwise normal stay at the Crowne Plaza was significantly marred by how I was treated at the checkin desk. In short, I was treated like an illegal immigrant by a staff who acted in such a discriminatory manner that I was brought to the verge of tears. My initial impression is that this hotel was rather unfriendly to nonJapanese guests.Firstly, upon checkin, I was abruptly informed by the front desk that I would not be able to checkin one hour early, which was a surprise to me, as I have never had trouble as an Platinum member in checking in early. I understand that hotels have operational constraints, so I did not mind, but her mannerism towards me was rather abrupt.What I found unacceptable is what happened afterwards: the front desk lady asked to see my passport. Now, if this was the United States, I would happily hand over my ID, as every hotel does that for security reasons. However, there is no such practice of this in Japan. In Japan, hotels only ask for the guest to write down their name and address, and for nonJapanese residents, a copy of their passport number. What she did to me would be the American equivalent of demanding to know if I was a illegal immigrant or not. Frankly, what she did was extremely discriminatory, as I speak Japanese fluently as I am halfJapanese. She assumed that just because I had a nonJapanese name, that I was a foreigner, and thus subject to her looking at my passport. Words cannot describe how appalled I was at her racist behavior, especially in front of my colleague.As I found her behavior unacceptable, I asked to see her manager. She informed me that there was no manager available for the time being. Candidly, this has to be a lie every hospitality business always has a MOD on duty. At this point, I was so appalled and saddened by her actions that I just left the hotel. My colleague, who is a journalist for an American newspaper, was simply shocked by this whole ordeal. Fortunately, upon my return to the hotel, the manager on duty Tetsushi Nishimura came and introduced himself to me. He seemed preemptively aware of the situation and apologized for the earlier misconduct of the staff. He acted in a very professional manner and I would like to commend how he handled the situation.However, words cannot describe how saddened I am by an incident like this. I specifically chose the Crowne Plaza in Kanazawa because I thought a hotel run by IHG would be to an excellent standard. I did not expect to be treated as if I was a illegal immigrant with no right to be in Japan, especially in a country that was my childhood home. What would have been a wonderful stay in Kanazawa was marred by how I was treated by the hotel, and I would not feel comfortable returning there again.Aside from my experience, other reviewers are correct in that the bathroom would look dated by American, and especially American Crowne Plaza standards. I suppose that Crowne Plazas in Japan have different standards. Furthermore, the beds that were used were rather hard, which I surmise would be uncomfortable for people who are used to Westernstyle hotel beds." +Hotel,Date of stay: May 2017,Europe,Cyprus,Famagusta District,unknown,THE. WORST. HOTEL. RACIST.,"One word: racist. Me and my friends one week holiday was nearly ruined by the staff here. The females receptionist manager offered the worst welcome. There was mouldy 'complimentary' food left in our room when we arrived. Other things that happened were cleaners would come into room when told not to and when we were not in, our driving licenses disappeared from our rooms, they would go near our things without telling us, we were locked out of our room for nearly 2hrs cause the key and room door they gave us was faulty they wouldn't fix it. Wifi was not free as advertised. The extra bed was a hard sofa bed, that was not sleepable. The only nice staff was one of the night security guards. The only good thing about the hotel was the scenery and look of it. Posh looking but the worst service. Everywhere else in Ayia Napa made us feel so welcome, we made many friends in our short stay in Ayia Napa, but Limanaki Beach Hotel was the worst hotel in the whole place.

Small fauxpax perhaps, but when we got to the room, wanting to cool our nice German beer, we found the fridges locked ! Of many international hotels I've stayed in, I've never seen this before. Asked at the front desk, the otherwise attractive blond German female in charge said we could pay a deposit to open the fridge this offended me and I refused. Asked why they lock the fridge, she said 'maybe not you caucasian, but these groups empty the minibar'. I felt this was racist to not trust Asians and told her so, and got no satisfactory reply.Asked directions to the closest shop, the same female gave me totally misleading directions to something we eventually found 200m in a straight line away, after we walked around half the neighbourhood.Very poor advice from a local.At breakfast, with noone to greet us at the entrance, we filled plates from the buffet, and my partner found a table, sat down and started to eat. Shortly after a waitress came over and asked her to move to another table. Annoyed at this inconvenience resulting from their lack of service, my partner refused, and an argument ensued, ending in me shouting ""we're eating breakfast don't p!ss us off ... !!!"" in front of about 30 various breakfast guests giving the adjacent Italian matrons great gossip material for the next 5 minutes.Recommend you don't stay at this hotel." +Hotel,Date of stay: January 2018,United States,Michigan MI,Dearborn,unknown,"Rude, Racist, wouldn't dare return","This was a first!

Most of the positive reviews about this resort seem to be fake! To begin with, the check in to this so called 5star resort was roughly around 7 pm. The staff placed our luggage in a car and drove us to our resort since our room was further from the admin hall. Upon entering the room the floors and bathroom were filthy both bathrooms were infested with ants and roaches The worst part was the bed. We found food fragments tucked under the sheet covers and food stains. Called management who apologized and sent two workers to clean up the room around 8 pm. Quite annoying as no guest would like to come to a hotel after a long flight and leave their room cleaned because it was done prior to checking in! Came back and not much had been cleaned apart from the bathroom and one of our bedspreads. Had uneasy sleep that night! The fact that we paid money for housekeeping and the rooms were filthy for the 4 days that we were at the resort just went to show that this hotel is stingy and does take into consideration customer reviews Looking back at the reviews it is evident that similar experiences were shared by other guests. The cleaners seem to do a lousy job at cleaning and generally don't start cleaning till 2 or 3 pm in the afternoon. Another issue that arose was the OHS. The workers were cleaning the driveway in front of the customer service hall it seems like that's the only place they know how to clean there was no sign of a wet floor. We made a booking for the shuttle bus and was heading back to our resort when I slipped on the wet path and actually hurt my back. Pathetically enough all the workers could do was laugh and just look at the situation that had unfolded before them. No apology no Sorry. Frankly, the workers here seem to be extremely racist and do not know how to treat people of colour, nationality or race. Being a large resort it is assumed that you would train your staff to have appropriate customer service and empathy when dealing with international customers. We often felt intimated by the staff and hence why stopped asking for assistance as we did not feel safe. To top of the experience upon checking out and your staff were sleeping at the counter it was roughly around 8 am in the morning which clearly goes to show that there is no sense of professionalism or work ethic that exists in this resort.

I do agree with other reviewers that there is definitely racial profiling going on at this restaurant and as a result, you can be treated differently/poorly by the owner depending on what nationality you are. On our first visit, the owner was quite strange, almost rude but on our second visit, he seemed a little better. Fortunately the waiters seem nice but the food is inconsistent. On our first visit the food was amazing. So much so that we decided to ignore the owners rude behavior and go back for a second meal during our stay in Strasbourg. Unfortunately the second time we went, the food was lacking salt and spices even though we ordered the same exact things. We were thoroughly unimpressed. I'm not sure how many Indian restaurants are in Strasbourg. If there are no others then I would eat here again as the food is decent but if you have other choices then I'd probably recommend giving those a try. Also going back to the racial profiling thing again. The owner not only treats people of Indian decent and maybe others differently but he may also ask you to pay in cash. During our first visit, the owner asked my husband directly to pay in cash when he brought over the bill which we found to be extremely strange and rude. Does he think all Indian's try to evade paying taxes so we'd understand his request Needless to say, the following time we didn't even bother taking any cash and my husband paid with credit card.

As I escalated the issue, their operations and events manager misrepresented the truth to the owner and said I mentioned a ""heavier rap and hip hop"" playlist. Until this organization takes the steps to address how to identify candidates that would potentially be biases, implements the necessary disciplinary actions to avoid it and increases diversity in race, gender and experience within their management team, I will boycott this venue and suggest that you do the same. Any establishment that supports bigotry, racial biases, racial profiling is an organization that will fund and support other causes that are aligned with these perspectives and deserve to go out of business.

To treat tourists the way they did that day. I never felt more at risk for my life the way they made me, and my friends felt before. The manager, staff and security of Minami restaurant is a huge disappointment to be established in association with Ushuaia. Please address this situation with your staff therefore this would prevent to happen in the future. Theres definitely no customer service skills or managerial skills and need immediate define training or a new profession. As a manager, instead of bashing a paying customer and guests of Ushuaia. I would suggest appointing an employee of professionalism and listen to their customers instead of racial profiling for the color of their skin and threatening us for being concerned for the type of employees we had to encounter during our visit.

The ceiling was literally collapsing, old dilapidated pictures hang crooked on the wall, and the decor is totally stuck in a time warp not in a good ""retro"" kind of way. The air conditioning/heating ducts are covered in a thick layer of dust, blowing right above your head and food. All of that could have been forgiven had we received decent service.The appetizers arrived not too long after and were decent.The food is definitely overpriced, with prices much higher than the average prices of better restaurants in more central parts of Israel. The mains were disappointing. The chicken was so dry and overspiced. The fish was alrightnothing to write home about. HOWEVER, it took forever for the mains to arrive. It was the middle of the week and the restaurant was fairly empty, yet we waited over 30 minutes. Anytime we wanted something and tried to call the servers over, they either ignored or didn't notice us. The waitress there was completely apathetic, as if she wanted to be anywhere but there. We had to get up and go get them several times. When they brought the menus, nothing was explained. Not once did they check on us to ask how everything was.What was most frustrating was a group that arrived a good 30 minutes after us received all of their food, including mains, right away. After reading the mix of very negative very positive reviews here, it is quite clear this is an old neighborhood restaurant with a lot of local regulars who've been patrons of the restaurant for decades. The regulars are a priority seem to receive excellent service and attention from the wait staff, while the tourists and newbies are relegated subpar virtually nonexistent service. We noticed a reviewer made allegations of racial discrimination, but I would simply call this discrimination against new customers. Really, we cannot understand how this restaurant is still around with such horrible service except that the service for newbies vs. the longtime local patrons is night day.We are not picky at all and rarely do we feel the need to write a review, but the service was so bad, I would urge anyone to think twice before dining there." +Restaurant,Date of visit: May 2018,Middle East,Israel,Haifa District,"New York City, New York",overprice food / racial discrimination,"I was with my mom , and We got chicken and Fish, The food was oily and not fresh .

NonVegetarian Food Despite Requesting for Vegetarian Food,"I went to Pong Buffe last Saturday, March 30th. I feel sorry that I did as I had my 1st experience of racial discrimination in Sweden, ironically at a Thai Asian restaurant. Not just that, their kitchen can't be trusted and the staff is rude, irresponsible and talks as if they are doing a favour by letting people eat in their restaurant. I specifically mentioned that I am a vegetarian but was served chicken soup despite several reiterations from my side while placing the order. Please read below the complete experience of the humiliating experience I had.I entered the restaurant and asked the girl at the counter if I could have vegetarian food, as I am a vegetarian. She said it was possible. We discussed the menu for 12 minutes and she went inside. I kept waiting but when she did return for sometime, so I went inside assuming she must have gotten busy serving other guests. This is what happened then:1 I went inside and sat on a chair when another staff a young boy came rushing to me and told me that I can't sit there in a room full of people. When I asked him the reason, he said it was reserved. When I inquired why I could not see any ""reserved"" sign on the table if that was the case, he went back and the girl who I had spoken to earlier came back and repeated the same. I asked the same question on reservation signs missing. She then said that I can't sit as I have not placed any order which is what I was BTW waiting for as I was hungry. I told her that that's what I would like to do and that the staff should not behave and talk in this way to their guests. I again confirmed that I am a vegetarian and I don't eat even eggs, fish or fish oil and ordered my food soup and fried rice to get started with.2 The same girl came in sometime and plonked a water bottle very rudely and said ""you can have water if you want.""3 The guy who told me earlier that I could not sit there came back with the food I had ordered. I tasted rice and found the rice to be completely bland despite my requesting in advance if they could make it spicy for me. I was still fine thinking that may be that's how rice are cooked there. I then tasted my soup and spotted some weird chunks. I called the same person again to check. He came after a while and confirmed it was chicken. I felt disgusted in my mouth and stomach at that moment. When I confronted him on what was happening why was I served nonvegetarian food and earlier told that I could not sit he told me that now indeed I could sit there. Wow, I felt so grateful for being allowed to sit to have food which I abstain from!! I asked him to call his manager so I could speak to him.4 Their manager, David, came and I told him about what had happened. He told me it was kitchen's mistake as they overlooked the note written by the waitress and that I don't need to pay for the food he repeated this 23 times. I found this to be so funny and outrageous at the same time I would have appreciated some sensitivity here. He said while he was sorry, humans can make errors and I should cooperate just the way he was cooperating with me! I still don't understand how he was cooperating with me perhaps by letting me in or letting me sit to order for paid food what a big favour! I told him it was very irresponsible on the staff and kitchen's part to attempt to humiliate their guests and serve them what they abstain from.5 I got up and walked out with my head held high someone who was traveling abroad for the first time would have perhaps very humiliated and embarrassed without any fault of theirs. Clearly my trip to Sweden was marred with this experience and not to mention the pukish feeling I had that entire day." +Restaurant,Date of visit: February 2019,United States,Illinois IL,Chicago,unknown,Never Again!!!! Racial Hypocrisy!!,"If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. Now this is the second time I've had problems with this place and it will be the last!!! Me and a group of friends and family came here to celebrate a 21st birthday. Before even coming, I emailed a woman named Kayla, who is a hostess at the IO Godfrey. I asked her if there was any kind of list we needed to be on because there was a group. She told me no, but people with table reservations would be seated first. That's understood!! Then, the manager Ashley emailed the birthday girl of our group and told her there is no list, we would be able to come, but it would be standing room only. Ok, that's understood again. As soon as we walk in, they have the door manager BRAD, who was extremely rude from the very beginning, who basically wouldn't let us in because we were a ""large"" group. He said it was policy and on the website, which was his first lie, because I have yet to find the policy and he couldn't even show us. Then, said the space isn't made for large groups to congregate. BUT if we wanted to pay for a table then we could go up and congregate. So you're telling me your establishment is not made for big groups, but if we buy a table you can accommodate a big group Hmmmm how stupid does that sound Now you're lying to me again, BRAD. Then, he said they can't just have us all standing around congregating. I'm sorry, what difference would it make if we all came in pairs of two or four once we were in the lounge, we still would have been socializing together because IT'S A LOUNGE AND PEOPLE SOCIALIZE!!! Then BRAD makes a statement about people not buying drinks. Now we're getting somewhere, BRAD!!! I completely understand it's about money, but for you to automatically assume that because we are a group and we didn't pay for a table, which we didn't want anyway, that we would go up and not buy drinks is extremely insulting. You know what they say about assuming! Like we seriously were here to celebrate a birthday. What would make you think we weren't going to buy drinks So, next we asked for the manager Ashley, just to get clarification and BRAD said she was upstairs and didn't want to come down. Not understanding, if she's a manager why wouldn't she come down That's bad business and customer service on her part. THEN TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE.... as we are standing trying to understand BRAD's logic, he literally let a whole GROUP of 10 people, who I will state were all Caucasian, in to go up right in front of us and guess what!! They didn't have table reservations, because we made sure to ask them as they all were filing in line. But since they knew somebody there, they were allowed to go up. Hmmm now, there is a bigger problem. Oh and interesting enough someone in our party was actually texting Ashley about what was going on, and she stated that she wasn't even on the premises. Hmmmm so who is lying and what is the reason for lying This is my second time having an issue with this establishment and the last. Not wanting to make this a racial issue, but it clearly is and in 2019, people will not tolerate the disrespect. Our group gladly took our money to Sound Bar Night Club and the birthday girl had an amazing 21st birthday. That was your final time, IO Godfrey, and I will make sure to make others aware of how you treat people who just want to come and have a good time like everyone else!" +Restaurant,Date of visit: October 2018,Europe,Spain,Catalonia,unknown,Racial Discrimination,"We were a group comprising of three Indians and one Italian, and I begin with this because it is imperative to what follows. We had reserved a table online for Pla for dinner at 7:00 p.m. on 7th October, Sunday. We receive an email confirmation and have also provided two separate phone numbers with our booking. So at 6:55 p.m. when we reached there, we find the place empty. We asked the manager/ attendant for our reservation and he pretended not to understand the name in which the booking was made, so we spelled it out for him. He again insists that he doesn't have that booking. By then we are able to see his computer with the list of reservations and we spot our name and his reaction is that, ""oh, sorry this booking seems to have been cancelled"". So we say that we have received a confirmation email and we were not contacted regarding any cancellation and if he could accommodate us anyway. He apologized saying that its according tot he computerised system and they were fully booked despite the fact that till then not a single table had been occupied. Anyway during this time one of us decided to use the washroom and the rest of us stepped out to wait. We realised that his attitude was very strange and yet we did not want to spoil our vacation by arguing with a restaurant manager in another country. One of us went upto him and gave him our piece of mind in English and that how it reflected rather poorly on their service and So we asked him for another recommendation which we found to be extremely third rate and would have never even stopped to see the menu of had we been in our country. Nevertheless we left the place having given our number to the manager/ attendant. Soon after within ten minutes, we got a call from the manager/ attendant saying that the table was available. This attitude was highly shocking as to how the sequence of events played out. Ultimately we concluded that the entire incident was a case of racial discrimination as it was extremely strange as to how the confirmed reservation could get cancelled without us getting any information.

We cut through the store and I let him walk around Northtown until he gets tired. When I cut back through Best Buy, sometimes I stop in the bathroom to wash his hands. But I can count a handful of times when a worker just happens to come into the bathroom a few minutes after I go in. Now it takes me longer because I am washing my kids hands, putting him back in his stroller, and sometimes using the bathroom. I get why one may be suspicious when they take a little longer. But today I was pretty annoyed. Guy came in right as I was strapping in my kid, I had to check to see if he was really peeing or checking on me, I walk out and their is a guy with a headset getting a drink of water. If this was my first experience at this best buy, I'd think it was maybe a coincidence, but it was like my 5th at least. I used to work security, I understand how security systems operate, and how the bathroom is a good spot to steal stuff. But let me break it down, just because I have darker skin doesn't mean I have plans to steal something from your store. I wonder if the employees treat every white boy that uses the bathroom this way, always checking up on them I have been a customer in the past, I purchased a 300 camera set from your store, but after this most recent act of racial profiling, I hope no people of color choose to present their business to your store. It is one thing to live in white privilege above the minorities in society, thus I have accepted. But when you have to come at me purely because of the color of my skin; because I look more suspicious than a white person, its unacceptable. The last time I can remember taking something that wasn't mine was in the 2nd grade, it was chalk from a teacher, it was stupid, I felt really bad, but theft is not an issue for me. I try to keep doing my thing, accepting society for the way it is. But when I have to engage in the subtleties of Racism, it becomes challenging to look the other way, to forget the inequalities we live in daily.

However, there was only one other family of the same size as mine in the entire restaurant. This other family was allowed in the front of the restaurant near the entrance where we had requested to be seated. When I brought that to the attention of the hostess and server, they rudely told me that every section in the restaurant was closed and only the booth they had offered me was opened. We ultimately left and went to another restaurant nearby.

As I was walking through the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, I was quite impressed with the setting and the layout of the restaurant and bar. The menu also looked very appetising. However, soon after I was seated I quickly realised that I had made a mistake as I felt very unwelcome by two members of staff. Only the waiter who invited me in to have dinner acknowledged me during my visit to the restaurant. I sat for over 15 minutes before my order was taken. During my wait, one female waitress just looked at me, looked off and pretended I didn't exist while doing absolutely nothing. Her male colleague did the exact same thing. Their other colleague seemed quite annoyed when he realised that his colleagues were seemingly ignoring my presence and came over and promptly took my order. I ordered the Lasange alla Bolognese for dinner which was served in a reasonable time. The meal was indeed very tasty and filling and was 22. The mistake I made was ordering a CocaCola to discover when I got the bill that it cost me 9 for a can! What a rip off. The other annoying thing was the cover charge of 7 which is levied on each customer. Overall, my dinner of lasagne and one CocaCola cost me 37.50 and a share of mild racial abuse. This will NEVER happen to me again and I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone! There are much better places in the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II to eat. I also absolutely regretted not taking out my Trip Advisor app on my smartphone to check the reviews on this restaurant. If I had, I would have seen the 1.5 rating it had out of 5 stars.

I have been living happily in Australia for over 2 years and this is the first clear instance of racial discrimination I've experienced. It is appalling to say the least." +Restaurant,Date of visit: August 2013,South Pacific,Australia,Victoria,"Sydney, Australia",Sexually and racially discriminative,"At approximately 11pm on 18 August 2013, my friend and I were denied entry at The Long Room. The reason cited by the doorman was that we were required to return with two females. This is what subsequently transpired:1. We peacefully removed ourselves from the line but requested clarification of the rationale and were advised that The Long Bar was only permitting a ratio of 1:1 male/female to enter.2. We deliberately observed over time that this was not the case as the doorman allowed fair coloured Australian males to enter without women, as well as groups of females. 3. Notwithstanding the above, we reentered the queue with 4 females as a group and were again denied entry.4. If this was not insulting enough, on questioning the seemingly discriminatory behaviour of The Long Room, the same doorman went further and proclaimed that we were as ""dumb as we looked"".As two Australian born professionals with Master level degrees and Italian parenthood, we found this whole incident to be absolutely degrading, derogatory and discriminatory. This was clearly evident to certain females in the line that witnessed the exchange and felt the need to apologise to us in embarrassment.For the avoidance of doubt, we were not intoxicated and complied with the dress code which was never disputed. This kind of discriminatory treatment should not be tolerated. I note from reading a recent previous review of The Long Room that it appears this is not an isolated incident and I am aware that such experiences can be shared by email to longroomcomplaints@gmail.com" +Restaurant,Date of visit: March 2019,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,unknown,racial discrimination of staff members at 2pm on 29 March 2019,"I am an Asian international student in Leicester. At 2 pm on March 29, 2019, I met two racist staff members in the restaurant. When I went to the counter to order some food, there were two female staffs. In the beginning, I was behind a white male customer. After he finished ordering the meal, it's my turn to order the meal. However, there was another white male customer who suddenly appeared and stood near the counter, a female staff completely ignored me and asked him what does he need. I waited for about 5 minutes until the female staff gave the drinking that the male customer needed. I think it should be my turn now, however, at the moment another white female customer came and just stood near me, the female staff member completely ignored me again and asked the white female customers what she needs. Finally, I gave up the order and left the restaurant. In the process, I waited for 20 minutes in front of the counter, and the two female staff totally ignored me in the process. Obviously, this is a kind of racial discrimination. I will never go to this restaurant again. if you do not welcome Asian customers, can you put a sign outside the restaurant to remind the Asian customers" +Restaurant,Date of visit: July 2018,Europe,Austria,Vienna Region,"Tokyo, Japan","Super tasty, but interesting racial segregation policy","The main Tafelspitz and Wienner Schnizel were wonderful that we went back twice.

The lodging was excellent and available separately as a review.This restaurant which is part of the lodge, was very poor. Inquiring twice, the restaurant could not find nor attempted to find a table for us on 2 of the nights we inquired.Asked twice, denied twice by the staff.Both times, the hostess looked at us and said wryly that no tables were available.I even informed them that we were guests in the lodge.The hostess did not even check the reservations list she just said they were fully booked.After being denied the second time, surprisingly I found that there were open tables available I checked on Open Table online and found multiple openings available. On the second night, there were 5:15, 5:30, and 9pm seatings available.A restaurant who has guest at their lodge should go to great efforts to accommodate their guests as they are the ones who paid for the stay.When I saw other guests being served outside the restaurant front lobby who did not have reservations, I was shocked that the hostess did not offer to serve us as well. I was quite shocked at observing racial discrimination in a resort location in a highly democratic state like California.This led me to conclude that the staff who were white did not want Asians in their restaurant. My recommendation:Use Open Table to make a reservation.If you are non white, don't ask personally for a reservation." +Restaurant,Date of visit: July 2016,Canada,Ontario,Wasaga Beach,unknown,Racial if your not Caucasian don't come here,"We were initially told we could not be seated because they were to busy, half the seats were empty.We then told them our party of 9 wouldn't mind sitting separately to avoid them having to re arrange seating to accommodate us, even after our suggestion to make their lives easier we were still encouraged to go elsewhere.2 separate parties came in after us and were seated with out a fuss.We were hungry and very annoyed and actually wanted to make them upset, so we waited and sat and ate.The servers were rude and rushing us in a very aggressive way.Sad to see this happen in this day and Age!!!The food is nothing special the service stinks.So if your in the mood to have a racial encounter come on down.

We were totally ignored by the staff no welcome, got our table on our own, had to fetch the menu card, and no one took our order. I had initially asked for a dessert menu card and the waiter simply dropped the dinner/snack menu at our table without even acknowledging us. Given that we couldnt catch the attention of any waiter, I had to go pick up the right card on my own at the cashier. The manager said someone would come to wait on us, but almost 10 minutes later, we thought it was a hopeless case and that we were blatantly being ignored. So we decided to leave. Eventually shared my thoughts with the manager who proposed complementary dessert but no way I could accept that! I explained that I could afford to pay for my consumption. Whats shocking is that tourists were eagerly welcomed by the manager and staff and led to their tables. Menu cards were handed to them promptly. The 2 tables next to ours were waited on multiple times whilst I tried my best to get their attention. In this day and age, some still believe locals are second grade people without the purchase power or do not deserve to be there.

Im going to start with finding a hair in one of our pizzas, which was taken away with no apology and a fresh one returned. Ironically this was the least horrible thing to happen during the lunch. This incident was followed by watching the staff simply rinse cutlery No soap and towel dry them and hand them to us. The over all hygiene of the restaurant was poor, there were flies everywhere, and the toilets in particular were disgusting. Yet not as disgusting as the attitude of one waiter, Seus, who when when I asked where the pealla was as we had been waiting over 35mins for it, and had not been told when ordering that it had a minimum waiting time of 20 mins and this is also not printed on the menu he responded rudely that it was coming and walked past us muttering under his breath in spanish. Eventually when the paella came, he came over to the table raised his voice at me yelling 'Minimum 20 mins!!', completely embarrassing us and even had his colleagues looking at him in shock. At this point we asked for the complaints form as this behaviour and the hygiene was unacceptable. Whilst filling in the form, Seus carried carried on walking past our table stomping his feet and still muttering under his breath, and even dropped a dirty napkin on one of the pizzas, whilst we saw this was not done intentionally its not like anyone is going to finish any food a dirty napkin has fallen on. After filling in the form and passing it Seus to write his counter side, he read over it and came over to argue with us about what was written!! Suddenly he spoke english!! I told him we did not want to argue with him, that he should just fill in the form. Annoyed at being dismissed, he mostly directed his anger at me Being portuguese, I spoke the most broken spanish of the three of us He shouted 'you are crazy' several times across the restaurant and that I should ' Go back to your country' 'go back to Portugal' Absolutly disgusting behaviour!!!

The waiter told us that there is no space in the restaurant. We looked around and told him that all the tables were empty. He said that there will be people coming in by 9 at the restaurant and so he cannot offer us a table. They did not want coloured people to sit at their restaurant and we had a requirement for vegetarian food. Basically they wanted people who would drink and create a huge billing for themFirst time that I ever experienced this kind of treatment in a foreign country. Would strongly recommend everyone not to visit this restaurant ever. The food is also very very average as per the reviews from a few friends and over priced.

I clearly understood what was going on.Disappointed that this still goes on and I don't know how you can treat customers like this in such an ethnically diverse area. Shame on you and your representation of Italians. It will also be clear to people who read La Forchetta reviews from 2010 to 2018 that the only people who appear to be served at La Forchetta are not just largely, but ONLY from one ethnicity.

The restaurant was not even half full. I was with 2 of my Chinese friends and we all agreed that there was lot of favoritism being showed. Especially, the Chinese customers were ignored. After we were done with the food, it took us another 15 mins trying to get hold of someone who can get us a check. Due to the bad experience, my Chinese friend decided not to tip.So far I cared less about this whole experience. But what happened next prompted me to give this review.

I should have turned around and left at that point. Instead I gave her the benefit of the doubt that she was busy. We sat down and a different waitress dressed the same brought us menus and took our drink order. Drinks came; family and I ordered; I asked for the daily special, a chile relleno. Another two tables were seated after we ordered. Two ladies in particular were right across from us they looked like they had just finished a round of illegal drugs, alcohol, or both. Five minutes later I am told they don't have the special. Okay; I ordered something else. Another ten minutes goes by and I clearly see the chile relleno special heading over to the table behind me!! I am upset but quiet. ANOTHER TEN minutes goes by and the TWO LADIES in front of me who arrived AFTER us get their food!... BUT WAIT.. Not only do they get their food, but they get enough food to feed 3 families !!! After the waitress brings them 3 trips from the kitchen, they are already asking for togo plates to fill up. The entire time I have been calming my nerves watching the Sunday football game on the television mounted uncomfortably too high. If I was older, my neck would be hurt by this time. We receive our food. Not even five minutes later, the ladies turned off all of the televisions. There goes the game I was watching and actually enjoying... The waitress comes to the table and asks if we want anything else because the kitchen is closing in 5 minutes..!! It was not even 3pm their closing time that day yet and they are shutting everything down to get the hell out of there.. ..the waitress placed our ticket on the table and asked that we pay immediately before the registers close. We weren't even halfway through our meals!!! The ladies across from us did not get the same treatment, nor were they told of the kitchen closing nor were they asked to pay yet. We had our credit card ready on the table, and the waitress did not come by to receive payment; not for another 20 minutes!! Instead the waitresses were heard yelling with the cook possibly the owner in noticeably vulgar language. They had two separate yelling sessions involving all of the waitresses 56 of them. All this time we had no drink refills NOR were we offered any before we left. They finally came around for our payment after they had already turned off all of the kitchen area lights.

What we didn't know was that there was a day party going on at the lounge the same day. We encouraged the entire guest list to get line passes, and we bought a bundle of them ourselves. We arrived at around 7:30 pm as the day party was ending and got in with our line passes. We had spoken with an employee about potentially doing a VIP table and bottle service, and upon arrival found out that Saturday nights have a minimum purchase of 3 bottles at 250 per bottle. We weren't sure that we had enough people coming to make the deal worth it so we decided to sit outside and just drink at the bar. We had used about half of our line pass allotment when i was notified that some of my party were having issues getting in to the bar. They were told that only people with reservations or line passes were allowed in due to a party that started at 7. The Vertigo crew wanted to ensure that those who had reserved had room to enter and enjoy the club. Perfectly fine. we were able to use the rest of our pre purchased passes to get inFast forward to around 1130 pm when business has only slightly picked up. Mind you we were informed that the lounge usually is shoulder to shoulder packed by1030pm, and we are freely moving about because the place is pretty empty. The majority of my party were outside enjoying the night summer air when a few of us came in to grab a bite to eat no food out the outside deck. We have some food and a few drinks inside and attempt to go back on the outdoor roof space, there is a short line to stand in, as only so many people can be outside at one time. We wait patiently in line and finally when we're next at the door we watch a group of people come in the lounge area and assume we'll be let out next. No, a group of people who were not in line were let out next. We asked why and the door man said it was because they 'have a reservation'. Okay fine. This continues to happen and we start paying attention to where these people are coming from, some of them from the back of the same line we're in. We are a respectable group of young professionals who just wanted to celebrate my birthday in a nice out door rooftop space, and maybe it was on us for assuming that entry to the lounge would mean that we'd get to respectfully enjoy all of the amenities.

Their beverage list is well matched with what they offer.They also have a spacious Gaming Room with slot machines. Unfortunately, I had a very bad experience with the service provided by a specific frontline employee at The Station. My machine ran out of coins. When that happens they automatically get notified and someone comes to refill etc. In this instance I waited for fifteen minutes and no one turned up. I thought maybe they were not aware of it so went to the main counter to tell them. But the staff there said that they knew, and someone will come to service the slot machine. I thanked them and went back to the machine I was playing. Five minutes later a staff, Tod, came to refill the machine. He immediately started telling me off in a most insulting manner in front of the other patrons who were there playing the machines fortunately, none of them stared at me or took any obvious interest in his tirade. He extremely rudely told me that I should just wait. I was so stunned by his nasty treatment of me and cannot recall what else he blasted at me. The whole encounter left me terrified and awfully upset that I was verbally assaulted for having done nothing wrong and became a victim of a highly unsatisfied employee. An employee who had indicated his dislike of me previously as well.That incidence left me wondering whether I was racially discriminated by Tod or whether he hates his job so much that he feels he can out rightly insult an innocent customer. Perhaps, he needs training in customer service or help with his anger management or guidance on how to curb his arrogance. It seems, Tod is not the only one who has issues. I was there on 5th June when the machine I was playing needed handpay. So, while waiting for someone to come with the money I went and played another machine. Previously, I had been told by a staff that if there are several machines free to play another machine while waiting for a staff; a practice I have seen many people at this place doing. The Gaming Room had probably only 6 people there and most of the machines were unoccupied. Wyatt, another employee, brought my money and I signed for the receipt of it. I mentioned to him that I will continue playing that machine once I take my money from the machine I went on while waiting for the service. He started telling me off loudly that I am not allowed to play two machines at the same time. In a harsh and authoritative manner, he told me to empty it now which I was doing to get back to my original machine. I told him I was doing so. But that was not enough for him and he stood there treating me like I had committed some crime. As he was leaving I said to him that I am not God to be playing two machines far apart at the same time. I went back there since that incidence and noticed that now they have placed a Notice stating that one cannot play two machines at the same time. A Notice that was not there when my insult, discrimination and victimization happened. While there, I watched Tod come to refill a machine twice when the player was playing a second machine and said nothing to her. Exactly what I had done when Wyatt verbally attacked me.As a responsible senior citizen, these encounters at the Station left me deeply disappointed, aggrieved and terrified. All I can think of is that I have been racially discriminated by those two employees. They dont treat other people there like what they did to me.

Read other reviews and visit at your peril,"The Deck has a great location, but I can not recommend it because of the owner, Mark. He was the only person there when we arrived, and he was clearly drunk or high or both. While we went swimming he decided, without our input, to prepare three burgers for the four of us. The three burgers and 3 beers and maybe an ice tea came to 88! But the worst part of our experience was his foul language replete with racial epithets. The four of us and especially the two women, were VERY uncomfortable and couldn't wait to leave. Afterward, we read reviews of this place on TripAdvisor.

The place was built and designed very well. The owner Mark was very loud and obnoxious, but nothing bad enough to leave. He progressively got worse after doing shots and going behind the bar for a minute and coming out several times. After a long swim, around 1pm, we ordered another round of drinks big mistake, he became louder and starting cursing every other word, saying racial slurs mainly directed at jewish and african peoples, and insulting his own mother a lot. He had his drug dealer stop by to drop off some pot to him and he asked me to pay for the first round of drinks, which I did. He went on to show his scar from the car accident while exposing himself. At the end he billed us again for the first round and after I explained that we paid already, he became very combative and was not willing to listen.

On our first visit he made inappropriate and racial comments, including offering to show photos of a recent car accident surgery! Our second visit was worse! The owner and the only wait staff there was drunk and hardly able to carry on a coherent conversation. He also shared a marijuana cigarette with another group on the patio.

As I sat down and looked around the decor was old and grubby could do with a paint and a good clean. Also the table was sticky and the bowl with all the sauces was full of sticky ketchup and used sauce wrappers. Ordered food which came within the expected time, I ordered the mixed starters of mushrooms, onion rings and garlic bread which was nice. As a main I had the half chicken which was also very nice. My family member also enjoyed their food. The desserts were also nice. Overall I would come here again as I did enjoy the food.

Before I visited the restaurant, I was really excited because this was going to be my first tapas experience. However, the experience was HORRIBLE. The host talked with me with bad manners. He lied to me about my reservation by taking me to a highup table which I did NOT reserve. As I tried to ask him if I can move to a table, a normal table area, he told me there is no table left. I saw one empty table so I called him and he told me all customers who are sitting in that area left special notes when they made reservations. First, when I made my reservation, there is no section for customers to leave special notes. Second, it is such a lie that all the customers left the same special note. If they ALL made that special notes, then it is NOT special, it is called COMMON. Later on, after the conversation, I heard some word, which are very judgmental about my ethnicity. I would like to say, this is a RESTAURANT for the racial majority, because all customers of racial minorities are NOT treated with justice and fairness. I HIGHLY recommend everyone NOT to come here! Unless you are one of the KKK!" +Restaurant,Date of visit: July 2018,Europe,Norway,Western Norway,unknown,"Disgusting manager, AVOID!!!","I am writing this review to warn you of my unbelievably unpleasant experience at this restaurant, that possibly involves racial discrimination. I also hope that restaurant staff will see this and make sure it doesn't happen again.We are a group of 9 Chinese tourists. At first, a Chinese female staff helped us and explained that they only had 4 2person tables, if not we will have to wait. We agreed to wait and said that we would be okay with being split into 2 tables too. After 10 minutes, a table for 6 became available, but a male Caucasian staff gave it to a small group of Caucasian customers behind us in the queue. I approached him and asked why it wasn't given to us, and he said that he would only seat us when a 9people table is available. I then explained that I have told his colleague that we were happy to be seated separately, so he should have given us the table. He then said, ""I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU TOLD HER. I AM THE ONE IN CHARGE."" Finding it hard to believe, I repeated the question, and told him it should not be my responsibility to know that the staff who placed me in the queue was not the one in charge of allocating tables. They work together and should have communicated between themselves. He then repeated again that he didn't care what I told the other staff, and he would seat us where and when he liked since he was the one in charge. I asked to speak to the manager instead, and he said that he was in fact the manager. He did not once try to communicate with his colleague.We were utterly surprised how he not only ignored what us as customers has said, but also refused to acknowledge what his own colleague has arranged or said at all. It was not only rude, but also completely unreasonable. If a customer reserved a table through a member of his staff, would he say ""I don't care what you told her, I am the one in charge"", and ignore the reservation tooI would not want to think that the reason for such bizzarre attitude was racial discrimination, but it seems to be a more plausible reason. Afterall, both the female staff and I are small, Chinese females. Or, maybe he simply thinks that since so many customers come to the restaurant anyway, that he doesn't need to treat people with basic respect That being the manager, he was above all of us, customer or colleague, and could do whatever he likesI don't think anyone should have to deal with such a rude and unreasonable restaurant manager.

Unfortunately, on 7th Aug we witnessed an incident which had some subtle racial undertones. A local customer of Indian descent physically and verbally abused one of the waiters a waiter. We could tell incident had racial undertones due to the strong language the customer used towards the waiter. We have never witnessed such an incident at this establishment. It is also difficult to repeat the abusive language that was used. Without getting into much details, we hope management addresses this matter without any prejudice.The staff here has always been great and it is our hope this incident does not demoralize them. We appreciate their efforts!" +Restaurant,Date of visit: June 2018,United States,Florida FL,Florida Keys,"Stuart, Florida",Beware and stay away if you aren't a Republican...,"This is not an easy review for me to write as Alabama Jacks has always been a favorite of mine. Every time I would go to visit the Keys, I would either stop on the way down or on my way home. So, since we were on our way back from Key West yesterday, a stop here was in order. My boyfriend has never been to the Keys and I was really excited to bring him here. He picked out an Alabama Jacks shirt to buy and then we sat at a small table right next to the bar and we could hear several conversations from other patrons. There was also a lady that was sitting at the bar doing, what looked like, paperwork for the restaurant. The first thing that my boyfriend heard was ""we don't serve Democrats here"". Which in turn turned into a conversation between several men at the bar talking about Obama and ""nggrs"" and guns and shooting them, something along those lines. Let me just say that I am not a fan of politics and my boyfriend is biracial, with roots in Jamaica. After this happens, an entirely different patron walked by us twice and stopped each time. The first time stated the same thing about the Republican/Democrat thing. The second time he stopped he said that he was a fixture there and 'made his rounds'. He then stated that he will talk to anyone there, ""...including that black lady over there."" pointing to a woman in the corner. At this point my boyfriend and I were so appalled that he just wanted to leave and felt extremely uncomfortable. I told him to go out to the car and I would deal with it. I had to really control my anger, so I got the attention of the server, whom was a very sweet girl. I told her what happened and funny enough, she already knew that there was tension in the air and knew exactly whom the people were before I even pointed them out. I told her that I would not support this place ever again. I only had a couple of bites of the food I had ordered and neither of us finished our drinks. The server told me I had to speak with the bartender. When I explained to him how disgusted I was, the lady that had been doing paperwork at the bar chimed in and without even making eye contact with me, confirmed that the men at the bar were saying racial slurs. So, why was this allowed to continue until all but one of these men actually left And the bartender making comments too Then he tried to tell me several times that ""this place is not like that"". I have been in the restaurant business for my entire life and never have I ever heard customers or employees speak about someone like this. If it were ever to happen at a bar I was bartending, I would've told those people to keep their opinions to themselves or they could leave. The best part is that as I was leaving, one of the men that was making comments, made a gesture at me, and the lady at the bar told the server to tell me that I could have the shirt for free...no words. We will never go back. Ever. For the record, this is the very first review I have ever written. Being in the business, I have a mass amount of patience and forgiveness, however, it would be next to impossible for any forgiveness here." +Restaurant,Date of visit: January 2016,Africa,South Africa,Eastern Cape,"Port Elizabeth, South Africa",Take out pizza with NO SERVIETTES!,"Serviettes ONLY available on request on take out PizzaComplimentary garlic, chillies and cheese ONLY available on request but never added even after I requested itWhite prejudiceI visited Panarotti's for a take out Pizza for the third time, after I decided never to sitin again, due to poor service, wrong orders on two previous occasions.

I arrived in Zante Friday the 30th August for two weeks and since then i have had three forms of verbal abuse and two acts of assault. I am not the type of person to cause trouble hence why I have always been respectful and empathetic to the staff when declining their invitation to eat at the restaurant as I'm aware that it is there job to get customers in.My original plan was to eat there on the day before I leave but all had changed at this point After my pattern of not going into the restaurant the staff starting become more and more rude towards me , if they said something to me that was rude I would ignore them and i I even ignored the fact that they had called me the n word . On Friday 6th September when I had walked past the restaurant and the two members of staff have targeted me and threw stones at me with force leaving a bruise on my Leg and when I challenged them about it I was shouted at by the sleezy looking gentlemen and they had pushed me also at this point I will admit I lost my cool but it was justified. I had taken this further to the manager and nothing was done.I am strong believer in the staff representing the image of what kind of business this restaurant is and going by what the absolute disrespect I was shown I believe the company is based on racism and sexism as I was always respectful and was treated appallingly by staff. I feel that this abuse was discrimination against my race and my gender being a black woman and due to calm nature they felt it was okey for their frustrations to be taken out on me when other British tourist was extremely rude to the two men.I would never pull the race card towards anyone unless I was sure it was racial abuse but I had heard that this was not the first time the staff had acted like this and many girls had received perverse comments from the two awful men.I would avoid this restaurant and I suggest you take a walk to Nikos cocktails where the food is delicious and the staff are lovely they have wifi and don't pester you if you wish not to go in.

Their sweets are great and the service is generally good. However, this was my first time visiting the Laval location, and never have I ever experienced such a horrible encounter with a business in my life. There was a line when we arrived, which was not a problem for us although I didn't understand why as there seemed to be plenty of tables free. We waited in line for about 1520mins and during our wait I noticed people just leaving after speaking to the guy seating people. Coincidentally the two groups in the line that left were of Arab and the other what to me seemed of Indian background more on that later. I didn't think much of it at the time, nor the idea of anything to do with race crossed my mind as personally I've never had an encounter of racial discrimination with a business.So our turn comes and I tell the guy that we are a group of six. He replied saying ohh I'm not sure we have a table for you at the moment you guys are a large group, it will be a long wait for you guys. Mind you every other group infront of us aside from the two that left were seated as soon as their turn in the line came up. So I told him that I can see from here multiple tables free outside, some that are even beside each other so you can easily connect two tables. He replied saying that the manager has clearly instructed them not to move tables even if they are beside each other. I asked him if we can be seated inside instead as it was almost empty. He replied saying they didn't have staff to wait the tables inside. At this point I started to get frustrated as he seemed to have an excuse for anything that means us not getting a table. So I asked to speak to his manager, which he replied that he had left. Of course that was a complete lie as I find it hard to believe that a restaurant of that size is left with no person in charge on Saturday Night at 7:00pm. So I told him that we'll wait for that table outside then, but he kept replying with i don't know when we'll be able to get you that table. Meanwhile multiple other groups got seated as soon as their turn in the line came up with varying group sizes, while we sat there waiting. That was until another group of middleeastern people got their turn and they were also given a response of that they'd have to wait and then they ended up leaving. Right then is where I felt something is nor right, so I went up again asking him that at least 6 more groups have been seated while we were waiting and I find it hard to believe that our table for SIX still can't be arranged. He replied saying he didn't have a table yet and he still doesn't know when we'll be able to get our table.At this point we just decided to leave as I was just so disgusted by the racial discrimination that this staff was showing us. It was so upsetting to all of us that it ruined everyone's night, and not because we couldn't dine at a place that we were excited to go to, but at the treatment we received at this institution.

They cause on people. they resolve the issues by saying they will take care of the situation but kick you out. I gave them a thorough description of the man who sexually harassed my friend who touch her breasts and her vagina however we were the ones who were kicked out because they were with the person of colored skin and be because they did not give a crap. this is a bar that should not be in operation for any case when women complain about being sexually harassed you need to do something about that person not the women as victims of the harassment being kicked out not the person of a color skin being kicked out because they got very upset.this very unprofessional very racist and unacceptable I am very disgusted with this bar for my first time ever in Orange county I come from a family of financial value and education however to be discriminated against and racially profiled because I am a darkskinned is very offensive and unacceptable never did I receive an apologies never did I get my money back I never had the opportunity to even get my credit card back this is a crap run bar +Restaurant,Date of visit: June 2012,United States,California CA,Chino,unknown,Disgusted,"Food was good.

We pulled up to the spot and I guess dickie came out and greeted us. We asked if it was a cook shop and he ignored the question and urged us to come inside. After being rushed down a flight of rather steep stairs, he seated us at a table and insisted that I sit opposite the two men in my party.Dickie was very odd. Firstly, he thought we were tourists because of our complexion and uptown accents and asked us where we were from. He also wouldnt stop twanging. He also kept ignoring the fact that we requested a menu.. not knowing a single thing about this secret spot. After some time he finally said that there is no menu but we can eat whatever we liked. We asked if there was chicken, goat, seafood etc. he said yes and it is a five course meal. At this point we were itching to leave because we were looking for a cook shop and not a dine in restaurant. Seeing the uncertainty on our faces he nudged me forcefully and demanded that I take a picture of the table he set up for us.... feeling pressured I snapped the photo attached to this review...We then asked the price and he said 35 USD per head. We shook our heads and said no thanks, ready to leave. He instead asked us how much money we had and how much we would be willing to give him.Outraged, we politely said no thanks. But he insisted and scurried off into the kitchen to do god knows what. After much deliberation we finally got up and decided to leave. Trying to be polite we told him that we were going to leave and he stormed toward us cursing and getting on bad. He stood in front of us cussing and tried to make me go into the kitchen to see the fruit he began to prepare for me specifically. I declined and rushed out the door which had been locked earlier by a little boy lingering the shack. He told us that we could not leave but we kept on moving. Dickie used multiple expletives and RACIAL SLURS towards us, flung his hands and body at us.. he even stated how much he hates people from Kingston! He hates people who look like us which I guess is fair skinned, curly haired, young adults. He continued on with the racial slurs and fwords until we were out of his sight.

I am shocked that this gentleman who works at 8601 Warden can talk to customers with such foul language. I know this is an isolated incident because I have frequented this store many many times in the past. I just hope other customers will never be subjected to this type of treatment.

We called back to say that we wanted a new one, or our money back, and they argued that it was impossible for the ginger beef not to taste good.I offered to drive the stuff back to the restaurant, and when I did, the cashier and the guy son, i think began being belligerent, and then grabbed me physically with dirty dishwashing gloves and tried to force me into the kitchen to show me how to make ginger beef. I simply asked again for fresh food, or my money back, and the owner came out and began swearing at me that his food is always fresh, and that I do not know Chinese food. When I said that I am an executive chef, and I understood what the dish was supposed to taste like, the owner became adamant that I didn't know Chinese food because ginger beef is WHITE MAN food. After this, the owner and the other employees began with the racial slurrs regarding white people and chinese people, with the son getting so angry his mother or someone had to hold him back from coming after me.This is not a place that I recommend to anyone, especially those with a family that do not need to have racial slurrs screamed at them in a place of business. In the end, all I wanted was to be satisfied with the purchase of an expensive chinese food dish, without being threatened physically, and without the racist comments." +Restaurant,Date of visit: November 2013,United States,Louisiana LA,Baton Rouge,unknown,Good Sunday Lunch Spot,"My family and I stopped in for a quick lunch this afternoon after church and were very satisfied with our meal and experience. I ordered the whole boilded shrimp poboy as my entre, and had the fresh sauted vegtables as a side. My mother had the french onion soup to start and ordered half of the fried shrimp poboy for her entre. My younger brother had the fried oyster poboy and the two shared a large basket of sweet potato fries for a side. Both of them enjoyed their food and said the sweet potato fries were excellent. Our server Lisa was very helpful and attentive to our needs as well as knowledgeable about their products. The atmosphere of the dinning room reminded me of a country summer lodge, and the bar had a traditionalLSU/College town atmosphere. Could definitely see the Baton Rouge ""good ole boy"" crowd hanging around here regularly! It's unfortunate to read about some of the racial issuses people have experienced at this place, being a biracial male myself as well as a Baton Rouge native I sympathise with most minorities in the area. However, my family and I were treated very well today without any hints towards an open bias or prejudice. If some of the things I read are true I hope that this issue will be addresed by either the owner or GM in the near future. This is 2013, open your eyes to any blatant or subtle hints of racial discrimination happening in your establishment. The only thing I personally thought was off about this restaurant was the fact that it has an al la carte menu, which is completely fine, however, the food was presented all together as opposed to in courses. For an Al la carte restuarnt lets try to at least get some time for customers to enjoy their courses before the entre is presented. That being said, my overall expirence at Jones Creek Cafe was a positive one and I will be back to try out their chargrilled oysters and beverage selection some time soon!" +Restaurant,Date of visit: December 2015,Canada,Ontario,Toronto,unknown,Horrible discriminating staff,"I came here to celebrate a friend's birthday with a group of eight. We were having a great time, having beers, dancing, lots of laughs. Our one friend who met us there had just come from work and was completely sober. The bouncer, a short stocky man, had told him he could not enter because it looked like he was was either wasted or high on drugs. My girl friend tried to talk to the bouncer but her got in her face. As soon as my one male friend came to the door to meet them he was punched in the face and knocked to the ground. Not only was my friend two time smaller than the bouncer, the bouncer decided to use racial slurs against my friend because he is Asian. Our group then left and stood outside the bar and waited for a cab. This is when the bouncer decided to use more racial slurs even though my friend did not say a word to him. Moments after he had punched another customer. The bouncers are extremely violent here. I do not recommend ever coming here. Your night will be completely ruined. I am looking into filling a complaint against this bar. Please boycott, my friend now has a swollen and bruised face, he cannot open his eye thanks to the bouncer who was twice his size.

The waitress, Cassie, took it personal saying she assumed I wanted the appetizer with the meal. I had asked for a medium cooked steak but instead received one that was rare on the inside and looked expired. Cassie, never came back to check on how the food was. I requested a discount, was offered 10, but settled for more only to be robbed by getting change back from 25.00 instead of the 30.00 given. Finally Cassie offered the patrons at the next table extended happy hour while offering me nothing but loud passive aggressive racial insults based only on my tan skin. Getting out appetizers, checking on the quality of food, and returning proper change was Cassie's responsibility as a waitress. She was unwilling or unable to do her job, took business personal, rubbed it in that I got poor service while other patrons got extra favors, and in her mind and in the minds of the other patrons attempted to blame me for the poor service I got and the good service she was willing to give to the next table by loudly saying, ""It was black!""

We arrived at 12:50noon just in time for lunch. We were seated immediately, orders were taken, then some more people came after us to celebrate Christmas just like us. The second floor isn't that big and has enough tables that we can basically see everyone. After sometime, we noticed that the people who came after us were already served and had their second plate while our appetizers were not even given to us. So we took the attention of the waitress and she told us she will follow up. But after a total of an hour and a half waiting, we stood up, left our table and went down to tell the waiter who took our orders that we can't wait any longer. Guess what he answered in an arrogant tone, ""This is not a fast food, and your orders are all fresh and must take longer time."" So, I said "" I can't understand how a crab salad for our table could take an hour and a half while the same salad was served to a table next to ours who came for costumers who came after we arrived and orders were taken far after than ours were taken!"" No apologies were given to us. Only arrogance and a strong feeling of discrimination. We are residents of Padova for almost ten years. My daughters are both good students and I am a good taxpayer, hard working migrant. We know we were the only Asians in that restaurant but that is the first time, in all our lives dining in different local restaurants, we felt underestimated. To the owner and waiters of La Scala Restaurant Abano Terme, racial discrimination is not being applauded now a days. You are a shame and a disgust to all local restaurants in Padova. Shame on you!" +Restaurant,Date of visit: December 2017,Europe,Italy,Tuscany,"Auckland, New Zealand",Our worst experience in any restaurant ever We were not served and finally left hungry without eating,"I have hesitated writing this review as I dislike writing bad reviews on any place of work. In the event I decided to write an honest account of our experience in the hope that the management of this restaurant takes this criticism on board and sorts out the issues raised. We visited Florence for 10 nights over December 17January 18 as part of a four week tour of Italy and decided to stay in an apartment hotel complex adjoining this restaurant. The restaurant is located in residential area La Farina Road and is no doubt frequented mainly by the Italians locals who live around the area. There are few high end restaurants in the area and those there are, are located some distance away. The food we understand from word of mouth is excellent. We wouldn't know since we weren't served... and therein lies the problem. We had just traveled by train from Milan and had checked into an apartment hotel adjoining the restaurant. We stopped by earlier to ask if the restaurant was open and was told that they would be open later .. we did not make a reservation nor did they appear to think it was necessary at the time. We eventually wandered in by about 7.25 pm. on that day. We were greeted by a rather nice duty seating manager who told us that the restaurant was full but that she could serve us a quick supper at one of the reserved tables if we agreed to vacate it within the hour by 8.30 pm latest. We were tired and hungry and saw no problem with this. That is when our troubles began. The manager showed us to a basement seating area where a table was empty. It was now 7.30 pm. We had an hour to go. The waiter on duty over there decided he was not going to allow this. He refused to let us be seated until the manager insisted. Then began perhaps the surliest encounters with any waiter in any restaurant I have visited over the last 66 years of my life. The waiter poured supposedly a welcome drink Prosecco literally a drop 1 cm in a champagne glass and dropped the menus that were entirely in Italian on the table. We tried asking for an English menu but he just ignored us. We immediately decided to order something fast so that we could finish and vacate the table as promised but to no avail. The waiter didn't bother to come to the table for another 15 minutes despite our best efforts to attract his attention saying he was busy .. we tried telling him we were pressed for time .. finally he came to the table 7.45 pm when we started asking him what we might order from the Italian menu he went and brought an English menu dropped it on the table and then walked off and refused to deal with us for a further 20 minutes .. we waited until 8.00 pm kept asking him to take the order since we had to vacate as agreed and he kept telling us he was busy .. eventually at 8.05 pm we gave up as there was no way we could have ordered our meal, waited for it to be cooked and then finish eating it in the time allotted to us, which I suspect was his intention all along. We finally left the restaurant and since there was no where else to eat we went back to the apartment hotel hungry. I am appalled and absolutely shocked that a recalcitrant waiter in a restaurant can choose to serve or not serve a customer in this restaurant. This must be a first of kind. The manager who seated us was a friendly person and seemed to understand our plight and did try and find a solution that was perfect in every way but one ... Apparently the waiter did not like it it. We are as yet unsure as what seems to have upset him. Perhaps it was because:a We were not Italian the restaurant appears to cater to the locals from what we could make out and he couldn't be bothered b that he decided he was not going to serve a customer who was nonEuropean difficult to believe in Italy; orc that he did not want to serve the customer that management appears to have unfairly thrust on him on a busy night.Frankly we don't think the issue was racial. When we entered the restaurant we were treated very well by the seating manager who found us a good solution. The problem then was a waiter who had little patience for nonItalians usually English speaking I presume and possibly because the restaurant is located away from the tourist areas. This is something management needs to address. What ever be the reason for this rather disgraceful behavior the owner managers need to address how they communicate to their staff how and why they wish to seat their customers. If there are labor or employment issues they need to be addressed later. Making a paying customer bear the brunt of the anger of an employment dispute is not a very stellar reputation for a restaurant that otherwise prides itself on the quality of the dining experience it offers. To send a customer away hungry from your restaurant in an area where there are few eating areas or hotels if at all because of a disagreement with your staff is not the reputation one wants. Notwithstanding I'd like to thank the seating manager who did try to find a solution that unfortunately did not work. It wasn't for want of effort on her part. My wife and I thank her for that." +Restaurant,Date of visit: September 2018,Europe,Russia,Far Eastern District,"Seoul, South Korea",terrible," . ... . . the service is terrible. main host is terribble!!!!! awful, dreadful!!!Ther were still seats left.

What I witnessed today from fellow employees was absolutely disgraceful behavior towards our party of 13 people. I am in the industry as a Chef who happens to be deaf, I witnessed racial bias towards the group, because they were African Americans and I saw the most despicable gestures of ignorance, eye rolling and unprofessional glancing, whenever someone needed something the vibe we felt as if our table was a bothersome. First off our server Rebecca was awesome and is to be excused from this situation. But other fellow employees who gave our party the cold shoulder should be reprimanded and have sensitivity training for racial bias. I was absolutely mortified with this whole scenario. That being said we felt the food was tarnished in a way that when it came to the salads and portions of the meals that this was also impacted by today's experience. The salads portions were completely ridiculous and ingredients were missing and salads weren't dressed accordingly. When it came to getting water not one staff member on the floor brought water to the table to replenish. That was one thing I observed with the other tables that they were getting full plated salads and their entrees. When it came to dessert time as our server mentioned that if you need more dippers we will refill, well one of the members at the table asked a fellow employee about getting more dippers, she was very rude about it and it took a manager to get the job done. With this negative experience this evening and observing and witnessing the ignorance of the establishment's lack of respect towards minorities. If your establishment is going to have a problem with minorities and race, then shame on all of you! This was absolutely unacceptable!

We had been treated well in Germany so far and they seemed busy, so gave them benefit of the doubt. We couldnt find our names on reserved tables but saw available tables, so asked a waitress to help. I tried to show her my email which said that I had a reservation which she didnt bother to look at. She just gestured to a table with 2 persons already seated ie she wanted us to share a table when there were available tables with no names, and told us rudely to sit there. I said we had a reservation and she said two persons, so sit. We left promptly. We were treated badly and demeaned, not sure if its a racial issue we are Asian.

Never have I ever felt more uncomfortable in my life. I am still in shock. We sat inside the premise due to the fact that the terrace area would of been too cold for us. The restaurant owner, Mauro, seemed arrogant and rude for reasons we could not understand. Let me explain, I ate the salmon carpacio which was STILL frozen! My husband had thglioni fiziosi pasta with scampi and salmon which was also cold after waiting for over an hour. We started to get uncomfortable by the way the owner was inappropriately touching his female staff members who were clearly uncomfortable... Finally, we spoke to the owner, Mauro, to express our grief in the politest way possible. We conversed in Italian due to the fact that I had taken Italian courses for over 15 years and I am quite fluent in the language. When we spoke, he made various racial slurs at us which progressed to him constantly attacking our ethnicity. When we told him we didn't want any problems... He then proceeded to laugh at my husbands oxygen mask which he uses post lung cancer surgery. This review goes beyond just restaurant etiquette there was clearly a lack of human decency. My husband, who has battled cancer for years now, was completely broken. On lookers witnessed this exchange and proceeded to leave, they came up to us and extended their sympathy vouching to never go back to the establishment. We understand that some people lack self constraint, we hope that the staff of Mauro's will learn from this experience and better themselves as we have learned that some people are inexplicitly and unapologetically cruel. What an absolute horror." +Restaurant,Date of visit: March 2014,Europe,France,IledeFrance,"Paris, France",La Proprietare est trs aggressif et raciste!,"I had a traumatic experience at this place! Without hyperbole, this was one of the worst experiences I have ever had trying to dine out.The inside of the place reminds me of something you'd see in Brooklyn. This is why I took a sick friend to see it. Besides my love of tea, this is not my sort of place.After we sat down, I noticed some children with oranges to which I have a grave allergy the next table over. I tried to warn the woman in whose care the children seemed to be. She ignored me.After 5 minutes of trying to get the woman's attention, my friend a blonde, blueeyed fashion model said ""excuse me"" in a low voice and got the woman's attention. She told her that I had a food allergy at which point the woman became immediately billigerent. At this point, I should mention that I am a black American writer and translator who has lived in Paris for some years now. Since the children had started to eat the oranges and I started to react, I warned the woman and my friend that I had an epipen in my bag. She told me that she was going to call the police and the fire department and have me taken away. All the while, I am trying to control an oncoming attack.""I don't know how people do things where you're from, but here you don't just walk into a restaurant and tell the OWNER what to do. This is MY RESTAURANT."" At this point, it was lost on me that there might be a racial component when she threatened to call the police not to aide me, but to threaten me to leave. And I would have left, but I had to make certain that I could stand.The emphasis is not mine. Her two employees were cringing behind the food prep station and the customers looked visibly uncomfortable. Moreover, she kept screaming ""this is MY RESTAURANT.""She threw the check at me it hit my companion and refused to accept my card, even though it met the minimum as stated on the menu. As I had no cash, my friend paid. He hands were shaking.I asked her to please step away from me and told her that I felt assaulted. She said: ""No, I feel like you're ASSAULTING ME."" And I responded, ""But you are the one walking towards me"" as I made my way towards the door. My friend got between us and as we were leaving she told me she thought the woman was going to hit me.I have lived in Paris for years and for all the stereotypes about French customer service, I have never been treated like this. Not once did the owner to anything to help, but took every chance to intimidate and harass. Mind you, though the place wasn't full, there were seated customers.

One young server tried to bring me water but was repelled by her employer.When I said that I would review her establishment on YELP, she threatened to call the police again. Mind you, at this point I had been to lightheaded to even stand.The woman I am referring to was darkhaired and heavy set in a way that you don't often see in France, much less Paris. If she's there, you'll know and I would recommend giving her a wide berth.My girlfriend is a Polish human rights worker and thought I should have called the police as the owners was certainly against EU antidiscrimination statutes, but I didn't want to bother.

It was a truly wonderful experience, Maastricht and the Dutch people are warm and welcoming... with exception to the proprietor of Ut Lieuwke.My family and I searched for a lovely Dutch restaurant to celebrate our weekend and stumbled upon this establishment prior to the concert. We were initially delighted with the welcome from the two charming young Dutch waitresses sisters who invited us to a good table; the owner behind the bar was a completely different story!!!!She refused to even consider one of my party amending a set meal menu, switching one course for a more expensive choice that we would pay for... after much huffing and puffing with great annoyance, she relented. She then proceeded to insult us, stating British people drink too much, you want to order more wine!!!! We passed this off as a joke at first thinking that some UK like a drink, but so does the rest of the world.. we said no thanks, no wine, but some water.... she still maintained the wine comment; persisting with a terrible racial stereotype that wasn't called for. Uncalled for and rude!!!!Moving into the evening, my mother aged 70 was physically manhandled out of the toilet by this manager; who insisted to know ""THIS TOILET IS FOR PAYING GUESTS ONLY!!! Holding her arm and physically moving her. My mum was quite shocked and told her where she was sat, where the Manager had been racially aggressive to my family.... then my mother was frogmarched back to her seat!!! DISGUSTING BEHAVIOUR AND COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE!!! The food was delicious and can't be faulted in anyway, but the Manager needed special attention. The two waitresses were charming and displayed exemplary customer service... Thankfully it didn't ruin our evening at the concert; but after spending nearly 275 on a meal for six people, you expect to be treated at least with some respect. Thank you.

At 10:10pm after waiting for over an hour, I walked to the kitchen to ask for our order we noticed the guests who came after us had been served. I was told the pizzas take 40 minutes. The pizzas finally came and you cant believe it was cold. We tried to eat it it was impossible. We called the waiter and complained with no apology he just took the pizza and said he can put it back in the oven. That was it!!! I got up, complained to the manager and we paid for the single pizza and left. The waiter/server wore two black earrings he was male.

They served other people who came in after us. We are a family of four, respectably dressed. Not sure what problem they had us perhaps racial as we are oriental, but we were not welcome here.

In the event that the store had lots of room, we politely asked if we could sit in the restaurant but we did To refuse and be told to leave the restaurant, and the waitress at the front desk has been rolling her eyes during the dialogue.Poor service facilitiesSo we returned to the restaurant at around 9:00. It was suddenly found that the air conditioning had been turned off, there were some people in the front hall, and the seats on the walkway were empty. We were told to sit indoors and the restaurant was eating less than ten tables at this time. You can easily see Asians being placed in hot and stuffy rooms, while whites are mostly allowed to sit outside.The next table was allowed to change seats to the front room after the room was hot, and we were equally polite to change seats. Their waiters were waiting for us to wait. The last apology told us that the space ahead was reserved for people in need. Not us, and inform us that we cannot change seats.Many impolite attitudes and details are simply an insult to the customer. " +Restaurant,Date of visit: January 2019,Asia,Japan,Kanto,"Jakarta, Indonesia","Bad first impression, but awesome food","I had a bad first impression of the restaurant, all because of the hostess. They barely speak English, so we communicate through online translation and afterwards they ask a server, who can speak much better English to translate for them. Such a shame. I am not sure if there was a miscommunication, but We had asked my sisters Japanese speaking friend to reserve us a table and my sister told me we got a reservation for 7 pm. So, I arrived at 7 pm sharp, only to be told through online translation that we needed to come back half an hour later. My sister arrived about 5 minutes later and told me her friend had said 7ish, so we had all assumed its a little more than 7 or at least closer to 7 pm. Maybe, its too hard for the hostess to just make up her mind and say 7.30, instead of 7ish and confuse us, or maybe 7ish to her means 7.30. Very funny!!! We then decided to just accept the 7.30 time, because its just a mere 30 mins anyway, buttt another problem arises. There was a waiting area with a bench at the restaurant and it was empty, but the hostesses still insisted we needed to go out into the cold about 6 degrees celcius that night and come back later. I had two kids with me as well as my 71 year old Dad. I really wonder the reason they put the bench there if they do not want anyone to wait. Besides, by the time we finished clarifying about out reservation time, there was only about 15 minutes left. They told us it was because they had other guests. It was as if I was struck by lightning when I heard those words. Did that mean other guests can sit and wait, while we couldnt It really started sounding so racial to me. Only after I said wed leave if another guest arrived, that the hostesses decided to stop arguing. Despite all these, we really enjoyed the food and kept reordering more beef." +Restaurant,Date of visit: May 2017,Europe,France,IledeFrance,unknown,Not your friendly waiter ,"We wanted to eat something quite light before we head in to the AccorHotels Arena , we pass this place greeted by a friendly waiter, I asked if we could eat something light but he mumble something sarcastically under his breath which I couldn't catch but I wasn't to fuss. Sat down outside and he asked us what would we like to drink, we asked for beers but wasn't given a choice and with the food he recommended something which was some rip off Italian something , was just basically cheese on toast with a small sausage , bacon and a sun dried tomato. He brought us the beers which were Leffe with Leffe glasses, first of all the glasses were hot, secondly that day was quite hot so you should really expect restaurant to serve cold beers , no the bottle of beers were hot. Thirdly I asked him to change the glasses to some cold one, what does he do Goes inside, gets a single piece of ice cube, brings it out and starts spinning it in front of us Is this waiter ok Fourth he didn't offer us menus so it was recommendation that wanted us to have no choices was given. Fifth it took 20 minutes for us to get the bill and top of that audacity for him to say something racial towards me was the final straw.

My husband said we can wait and the waiter said sorry again. I don't know if it is racial discrimination as we are Asians hoping to try the food here. I know Neromo is on the italian side of the river and not on the tourist area. This incident has marred my trip to Florence. I could see a lot of Asians in Florence so I'm puzzled.

Service was likewise. Don't go there especially if you were Asian. They look down on and discriminate you. I could tell as I went to study abroad and sometimes had racial discriminations.

On the evening of September 28, we went there to have dinner together with my friends. When I booked my seat on the 26th, I stressed that we had four people and needed two people and two people to pay separately. The waiter told us it was all right. When ordering the meal, Abby Mi Junling, the waiter, told us that we could not separate the checklist with two club Marriott cards. We asked why not She told us that it was a restaurant rule. Then she split us into two tables which are the smallest in the restaurant. We told her that we ordered too many dishes, and this little table could not be placed at all. Then she went to consult Jerry Renjian, the manager of the Chinese restaurant, and when she came back, she became even more embarrassed. She said: We will change your dishes into small plates."" However, a guest which next me, she was sitting in a fourperson table but only ordered one dishnoodles. After we parted, I ordered four main dishes and a roast duck at one of the tables, but they were all arranged on the smallest table of two, far apart, which made our friends very embarrassed.We asked her to call the manager over to explain the situation, but the manager's service attitude was even worse. We waited for more than 10 minutes, got up twice and went to the manager. Then the manager came. His attitude was the worst of all the people I met in Marriott.The manager was so rude, he talked to us loudly for ten minutes in front of all the customers and kept on saying that he couldn't understand what we were saying We are Chinese, so that all the customers looked up and I didn't want to think about it again. It wasn't until the new guests were all around us that he felt it was inappropriate for us to change to a private room, but he never explained why a table bill couldn't be paid separately. Until we finished eating and checked out, they did not explain the situation or apologize.Marriott is an international company, but let me be disappointed that foreigners can pay the bill separately, but we can not, is this racial discrimination Has the quality of your manager fallen so far in the face of other customers and in the face of loud and noisy customersMy demand is to ask your company to improve the quality of service, to confirm that a single table can be AA system, a table can be separately settled their bills, this is the international practice, please treat each customer equally.

But sometimes, you just have to write about your experience and on this occasion, Ive never left a restaurant more disgusted. Recently on a trip to Luxembourg with friends, I paid a visit to this new restaurant that had opened up since Id been there last. It was late and my friend and I went in for some food. We ordered two drinks and I ordered the sushi platter and she ordered some chicken noodle dish. After a little wait, she suggested we just take it as a takeaway. So I requested the order to be wrapped up for takeaway and paid for everything. Then after a long wait, close to an hour, we questioned how long will it take The waiter apologized and said, sorry we had a busy day. Its going to take a while. Then another waiter got involved and said Typical whining Irish, always complaining. I really dont think we were in anyway unreasonable in questioning where our food was and this racial slur should never be shouted at a paying customer in a restaurant with other customers listening. I was absolutely outraged and appalled and on future visits to Luxembourg, will never be going back there.

After arguing back and forth he said the owner saw you taking it so basically we were lying for 10 francs.

After an appalling experience, earlier this year in May 2018, this establishment is blacklisted in my books.What was meant to be a joyous birthday celebration with lifelong friends, turned out to be one of the most humiliating experiences ever. Its sad, yet true that racial profiling still exists within London, despite our city being recognised as one of the most multicultural cities in the world.It was horrific to witness our group of friends being subjected to intense scrutiny from the security and management team at Madison, which included our friend being segregated from us at the entrance for extra identification checks despite the fact that our booking was a late afternoon brunch.Several other guests were permitted into the venue during the late afternoon, without being subjected to aggressive security and identification checks. Furthermore, I was surprised to see a member of management escorting our friend to our table, having informed her dining at the venue is being timed, and that it was imperative that she eat and leave on time. What is even more shocking is that the manager was lingering around throughout our entire meal, literally timing us.In all our years of dining at an array of establishments ranging from Michelin star to local restaurant joints, we have never been treated with such prejudice, so much so that we had to console our friend who was reduced to tears after being treated in such a disgusting manner.We did complain to security and a floor staff member, however no apology was given. We examined how nonblack customers were being treated by security and venue staff, and it was clear that the management and other staff members were perturbed by our presence.We live in a day and age where we must not let such prejudice go unspoken of.I shall not recommend this shambolic establishment to any of my family members, friends or clients.Madison may have a certificate of excellence for great food, yet they lack greatly in customer/human relations." +Restaurant,Date of visit: March 2017,Canada,Saskatchewan,Regina,unknown,"""Bar fights all the time""","Recently attended fundraising event at restaurant, food was good, customer service good. 10 people in bar area causing scenes, yelling out racial comments, starting fights with people in bar.

And this was when the circus started! ""Nobody else had had a problem with this"" ""noone else had commented on this"" and the kitchen staff were too stressed to have a moment to register this feedback.When someone did eventually come to the table to discuss the complaint, it was dismissed as totally wrong! Gradually, curious and apparantly totally bored Swiss guests sitting around our table, had nothing better to do than listen in to the meantime pointless discussion. We are not Swiss.Very quickly 5 tables around started assuring us that everything was perfect and how dare we criticise this restaurant and this cuisine. We became quickly victims of mobbing and I promise I am not exaggerating. This was very very unpleasant behaviour. At no point in my life have I been so discriminated against. This was simply racial behaviour by narrow minded Swiss citizens.We had to leave the restaurant rapidly.Very unpleasant.How unfortunate when constructive criticism isn't understood.

Brought my Dad from the table and explained to her again. And this is where i aost lost my sht. She looked at one of her colleagues and said I dont trust him out loud and i actually heard it. And you could tell she was coming from a racial perspective yes you can tell these things after being through many episodes such as this in Singapore. I confronted her saying did you just say you dont trust me and she had no reply to that but gave the I couldnt care less look. At this point i was flipping mad. It had ruined my overall experience at USS. But i resisted escalating the issue as my entire family was around. My poor Dad had to try and explain himself all over again and it didnt help that the stupid lady had mixed up all the receipts and we had to say our order to the specific details in order to prove that we bought it. She embarrassed us in front of those in line and basically convinced me USS has gone to the gutters because of substandard staff like her at the Oasis Spice Cafe. OASIS Spice Cafe needs to relook at its own policies when dealing with customers. This was something i could never expect at a place like USS.

The restaurant is tastefully decorated in a modern Mediterranean style. The menu oozes exciting choices of European and Asian cuisine. We tried a couple of pizzas, one with duck, and the other bacon. Both exceeded our expectations, and the crusts were the thinnest and crispiest you will experience anywhere in Ulaanbaatar. The Chef, I am told, hails from Malaysia, which explains the delicately flavor of hoisin infused in duck dishes. Other members of our part tried the steak, which was tender and cooked to perfection. The garlic bread was unlike any other I have tried, and was served with a mild relish reminiscent of sambal from southeast Asia. The selection of wines impressed us, and we enjoyed a bottle of 2011 Chardonnay from the Vasse Felix cellars of the Australian southwest. It was not cheap, but complemented our meals perfectly. Do try the deserts. Each is different, and full of surprises. Our favorite was the parfait with seabuckthorn compote. The serving staff are attentive and friendly without being intrusive.We were all impressed with this restaurant on our first visit. The interesting yet mild flavors achieved will be well received by the Mongolians who are not generally lovers of strongtasting cuisine.

A few steps away from the snaking line into the Museum looking out at this stunning building trying to imagine whose steps I have just walked in before waiting to be seated at Cafe Marly.I had read the reviews before deciding to eat here, many of them saying how over priced it is; what do you expect! You are paying for a unique experience. Unique costs a little more. With that, you hope the the food, drink and particularly the service do not leave you disappointed. I wasnt disappointed. Although busy I was seated quickly on the balcony by a friendly young lady who was followed in short order by my waiter. Who in turn was extremely friendly.The menu is simple and I ordered the Vegetarian salad and a glass of wine. No complaints about the food, well presented, fresh and flavoursome. The food really is secondary, you are so sucked into people watching, either those seated around you or the multi racial throngs walking around below with the facade of the Louvre as a back drop.If you can afford 2030 for lunch and you are visiting this part of Paris this is a must stop." +Restaurant,Date of visit: May 2014,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,"BarrowinFurness, United Kingdom",disgrace,"Never been so offended in my life, first they refused to accept my money because it was a scottish note had to walk along to another shop to get the money changed to an english note.

I will never go back here." +Restaurant,Date of visit: July 2014,Europe,France,ProvenceAlpesCote d'Azur,unknown,Would you like a side of racism with your mediocre food,"Two friends and I decided to eat dinner here based on the positive TripAdvisor reviews after spending a few hours at a nearby beach. At first, we thought the service was slow because that's how it is sometimes, especially at a busy restaurant in a sleepy resort town in France. Also, it seemed like there were only 2 people the owner and his wife, perhaps serving the customers. That was all fine until we realized that the other patrons were being served much more attentively and politely, whereas we had to try multiple times to attract their attention to ask for anything, including to order our food. A few minutes after we ordered, we wanted to add a side salad. Too late the waiter had already walked away and studiously ignored our attempts to get his attention. I had to hurriedly say that we wanted salad to the waiter as he walked by our table, because he couldn't be bothered to stop while we were trying to flag him down. He stared at me as if I was an alien but otherwise did not acknowledge my request. The exact same thing happened when I tried to ask for the bill after the meal. Side note: he definitely understood my bad French because we eventually got the salad and the bill. Interestingly enough, our party was the only nonwhite group at the restaurant. We shared scallop brochettes, a pizza, moules frites and the salad, which miraculously came. To be fair, the scallops were cooked pretty well, but that was about the only positive thing I can say about the food. The pizza was greasy and unmemorable, the moules frites were also mediocre and lacked flavor and I have a pretty bland palate and the salad was just a plate of arugula with some balsamic dressing. All in all, pretty average food that is not worth seeking out. Save your money and your stomach space for somewhere with less racist attitude. Oh well, at least we had a great view of the sunset." +Restaurant,Date of visit: August 2016,Europe,Greece,Crete,"London, United Kingdom","Slow, insults, threats, some racism too!","We have been coming here for a few years and have always had great food and service. The food was ok this time, but the service was diabolical. An hour an a half between the first main and last main coming out. My wife had to take our youngest back to the apartment as it got so late. One of the dishes was burnt and they firstly tried to excuse this by saying this is how the Greeks like it. Right.....ok but we aren't Greek. Bit of a sweeping statement to make. However they sent out another more edible plate. When I asked if they would take some money on the bill less than 5 euro per head as the service had been very slow etc. They point blank refused, and after I stuck to my guns and said I don't think we have received full service and the timing was shambolic, the waitress spoke with her father who is the owner and we were then told they would call the police if we did not pay. At no point did we say we weren't going to pay. She again made the statement about the Greeks liking service this way etc to which I replied that is a very bad statement to make considering you work in a tourist filled area, I felt insulted. At this point a lot of the staff gathered round, maybe if they all did their jobs the service would be better! Who knows. But anyway, won't be back here. They can't handle large bookings and they weren't even at half capacity. They are arrogant and living in the dark ages. Give this one a miss. Much better further along the front to be had for sure!" +Restaurant,Date of visit: June 2017,Africa,South Africa,Eastern Cape,unknown,Just poor service or undercover racism,"On Saturday afternoon, after enjoying the splendid view, my wife and I settled down in the restaurant at The Edge for a hot cup of coffee and a piece of cake. What a terrible disappointment. We were completely ignored while other customers around us noticeably all White were being served even those who had arrived after we have. After a while and noticing that we were being ignored, my wife had to go to the counter to ask for a menu. Then, after another while and still being ignored, I had to go there to ask if a waiter would please come to take our order. The order was taken and then the real waiting started. About 40 minutes later the coffee finally arrived, in filthy cups with dark coffee stains running down the sides as if the cups had not been cleaned properly. And still no cake... until we could bear it no longer and decided to leave. We were quite obviously being ignored while all of the White customers around us were being served even those who had arrived after we have. Was this just poor service or perhaps undercover racism It certainly put a damper on our visit to Hogsback." +Restaurant,Date of visit: June 2016,Caribbean,St Martin / St Maarten,SaintMartin,unknown,"Awful, rude and bordering on racism","Great little treasure by water taxi. The beach is clear beautiful and only waist high, which makes the dining experience in the water awesome. We didn't get to do that though because the lack of customer service and attention was ridiculous. We were greeted with the price of umbrella chairs, but no menu no welcome. After 2030 minutes of wondering what to order, I headed to the bar to get us a menu. Steve the bartender ignored me even after repeated calls to him by name. I finally got a menu and it only took another 20 minutes to get Steve to ask me if we wanted something to drink. I happened to be in the middle of a conversation with the family of an elderly gentleman who fell hurt himself on the beach. No concern, no manners, and definitely no service. I'm trying to sweep away the thought that our skin color had anything to do with it, but the more I replay the scene in my mind it seems to fit.

Before our meal on February 15th the hostess described herself to my father as a racist, complained about an AfricanAmerican customer and insulted her with racist stereotypes, and then expressed a racist litany of complaints and insults about Mexicans in real estate transactions. It mystifies me why someone with such disregard and disrespect for the community around her would choose to live and do business in Mexico. I recognize that sadly she represents some of what Americans are, but I do not believe she represents who we want to be. I only regret that I did not have the courage to call her remarks out for what they were and leave immediately. Despite the fabulous food and otherwise impeccable service, we will not be back and I must discourage others who abhor racism to avoid it as well.

I felt compelled to expose the flat out FALSE accusations of these so called ""classy ladies"" its ridiculous that they are pulling the race card when their tale of events is nothing more than liars. I was actually there that night having dinner with a friend and we were seated right in front of their table, they were already seated when we arrived and everything seemed normal, a bit loud but its a restaurant/bar, no biggie. As the evening continued they got louder and louder, and with in a little bit these girls were drunk and being so annoying and obnoxious that my friend and I were talking about it. We even made a gesture at the waitress after noticing how poorly they were treating one specific waitress and I was surprised by the composure that the waitress kept, staying pleasant, at this point if I were her I would have just ignored the table or told them to beat it. They acting like a bunch of 8 year olds. I did see the manager come talk to them but I didn't hear the conversation, I think it was at that point they got their booze cut off, which was probably in the best interest for the staff, the other patrons and themselves because they were making fools of themselves. I was glad when they were cut off because frankly some people just don't know how to behave and drinking only makes it worse. The waitress finished up serving them and gave them their bill in an undeserving nice and professional way. Those ""classy gals"" left and the servers began to clear the table and then two came back said some things to them and then slapped a class of wine to spill all over the table and said ""whoops! sorry hahaha"" and ran off ... again like a bunch of 8 yr old children, the servers looked at each other and shrugged it off but NEVER said anything back, and I NEVER heard the manager yell at them any racist remarks, or anything at that matter. At this point I was paying close attention to the situation because it was so ridiculous how they were behaving and I could barely hear the conversation he had with them so the fact that they claim he yelled at them is a flat out lie. This had nothing to do with race and everything to do with stupidity, some people simply don't know how to behave when they drink and the fact that they make this about race is ridiculous, I'm ethnic too, I always get great service when I go there, they only difference is I am not an idiot. If these girls believe in their accusations I would love for them to pursue legal action, fortunately I paid with my credit card, I have my receipt, showing what table and when I paid to prove I was there and I will gladly testify on what actually happened, and I am sure my friend will too. The servers deserve at least that much specially after they handled the situation so professionally. And to those ""classy ladies"" grow up, figure it out, this reflects so poorly on you and your community." +Restaurant,Date of visit: October 2013,Canada,British Columbia,Vancouver,"Vancouver, Canada","Fantastic place! And a defense to ""racism"" story","This place is amazing! Great food, great prices, and great service. I've been there a few times and I decided this was a great time to give these guys a positive review considering, as evidenced by the commenter below, the amount of bad press this story is getting on Facebook.I've always seen a mixed crowd at this joint and have gone there myself with friends who are also IndoCanadian. I have never seen any remote indication of any racism whatsoever towards IndoCanadian crowds or any other ethnicity for that matter, so I can't really see them choosing all of a sudden to be racist toward IndoCanadians, but I suppose this is TECHNICALLY a possibility. I find it difficult to believe that the story that is being told really happened as it is being claimed; that it came out of the blue and was essentially completely unprovoked. So, after seeing this place start to garner a bad rep, I felt the need to chime in. There was an article posted in the local newspaper about the ""Racism"" story, and after some digging I found someone who gave a secondhand account for the other side of the story. Check it out, and make your own judgments. This is verbatim from a Reddit user, who, really, is just as credible if you think about it:""My friend works at the charles bar and he told me what happened. Apparently these girls made a reservation for a ufc night when the bar is packed but they didnt make the reservation big enough. They then began to take stools from the bar and chairs from other tables to try and seat everyone and management told them to stop. So they began to sit at the tables that were reserved for other people. After management told them numerous times to move one girl apparently said 'make us' and the manager kicked them out. Then on the way out one girl threw her wine on a bar back and another poured a drink on the debit machine while screaming insults at the manager. So the manager pointed in the direction of surrey and said it was that way. None of the employees can comment on it because the company has ordered them not to.""I can't vouch for either side, really, but I thought it would only be fair to present the other side of the story in defense of this great place." +Restaurant,Date of visit: April 2012,Canada,British Columbia,Vancouver,seattle,Racism,"I have never experienced racism like this.

The waitress promptly attended to them and offered them water to drink while also holding short conversations with them. While my wife and I sat there, with no water, one menu and ZERO attention even though we were the first to sit down. We waited for at least 10 minutes, and if you were purely waiting for 10 minutes, it feels like a decade and I finally got impatient, and started to raise my hand to get some attention so that someone could take our order.Finally someone was looking my way! While the waitress was approaching our direction, I was starting to speak, but she just walked pass us without saying a thing, and started to take the order of guess who a Caucasian couple sitting behind us. At this point I was pissed off, I had the urge of standing up saying really LOUDLY, ""Really! This place is a JOKE!"" and just stormed out of the restaurant with my wife. But obviously my wife stopped me from elevating my emotions in this situation. I mean, if the waitress had just acknowledged me, and said something in the sense of ""Sorry, I will be right with you, I saw them call me over first."" or whatever I would've been fine with it, even though I was already annoyed by the poor service no water, no attention, long wait to order. After a few minutes, finally she walked over to us, of her own accord, without me having to raise my hand again, which means she did see me raising my hand the first time which pissed me off again, and took our order without apologizing for what happened and how rude she was. KariHouse is suppose to produce SouthEast Asian Singaporean, Malaysian cuisine, but the food that came out of the kitchen feels like someone just took a few recipes off of the internet and cooked it the first time. We ordered Laksa, Prawn Noodles and Char Dua Pan Stir Fried Rich noodles , all of the dishes had basically no taste to it, they have no idea what they are doing... It was just bland and dull, it almost felt like they withheld the salt too. SouthEast Asian cuisine uses a lot of spices and herbs in their food, which Kari House seemed to lack. I lived in Singapore for roughly 5 years about 20 years ago. Loved the food there, ate out almost everyday. The food that they are serving in KariHouse are basically the same street hawker food they have in Singapore, but KariHouse cannot even hold a candle to to the street hawker food's quality and tastiness. If you compare this restaurant Kari House to ANY Singaporean street hawker on a scale of 1 to 10, Kari House would be a 4 and Singaporean Street Hawkers would 89. Verdict: Terrible service that almost felt like racism I do not understand, the owners and waitress are Asian too , mediocre to poor food... Don't waste your time and money here." +Restaurant,Date of visit: August 2016,Canada,British Columbia,Kootenay Rockies,"Banff, Canada","Racism, Terrible Service, Passable Food","I ate with a large group of Asian children and this was by far the worst restaurant experience of my life.We come into the restaurant at around 9pm and ask about the unlimited pasta special. Alright, our bad for showing up near closing their takeout menu claims the closing is 11pm, but the manager later claimed it was ""outdated"" and actually 10pm after a long road trip and trying to get our fill of 11.95 pasta for the night.After a long, 30 minute wait I'll cut them some slack for being near closing time they bring out our orders and the initial bowls of spaghetti with either meat sauce or meat sauce and cheese. We chow down, food at this point is standard fare. It's not terrible by any means but by far the best experience of the night.We ordered four bowls, and after getting three bowls the server turns to us and informs us that they're out of spaghetti. Nothing else, no offer to reimburse us for part of it or even a sorry for this ""minor"" inconvenience. I asked to speak with the manager and as soon as I leave the server a grown woman turns to my group of 1217 year old kids and asks ""what's that guy's problem"" Red flag 1 for poor service.I speak to the manager, and politely inform him about how we only received one bowl, and that each of us could have eaten at least an extra bowl. Therefore, I offer to pay half for each of the bowls and full menu price for everything else we ordered and received. He immediately dismisses me and says ""no."" Not even an explanation or a sorry, just ""no.""After finally getting our 4th bowl of spaghetti, I start trying to track down the manager and get a proper response. I reexplain the situation and all he does is try to cut me off with ""so you're paying full price,"" ""no deal,"" and other such phrases. He threatens to call the police on us, but he doesn't actually do so when we call his bluff and tell him ""sure, call the police."" He tries telling us he'll comp one bowl and that's it. I insist on comping two bowls and he finally acquiesces. But not before saying that ""we always get problems with Asian customers, something about not wanting to pay."" Completely unacceptable restaurant service, and frankly something that is unacceptable anywhere. He charges us the 50 off and tells us to get out and never come back again.If you're stopping by the area, go to the local McDonald's instead of this 1950'sesque retro American diner complete with the atmosphere of 1950's racism." +Restaurant,Date of visit: August 2014,Canada,British Columbia,Burnaby,"Lawton, Oklahoma",Extreme stereo typing and racism...only ok flavors!,"When we arrived in Vancouver, we asked about restaurants and was told that this Fortune House was really excellent. So we walked to the mall where it is located but got there right at 3:00 pm and was told they would be closed until 5:30. We were inside a huge mall so no problem, really! We ended up going to see a movie and then stopped back by at which point we saw wedding decorations out front. I went to the entryway and asked if this was a private party which I was assuming but...I was told,"" yes."" Nothing more. So, we went on our way. The next day was the same closed at 5:00 but there were several shops I wanted to look in so we stayed around for an hour or so. We walked into the restaurant and the Asian lady, who had a snarl on her face looked at us and said, ""menu there,"" pointing to a plastic covered menu on a stand in what I assumed was Chinese and then English in very small and lightly colored print. We stood and stood and finally was able to ask for a table. They took us into the dining room that was filled with Asian folks, put us in the back corner at a card table with which I was unable to sit at comfortably because the table was turned so as not to let legs fit under the table. We were given paper napkins while others had cloth napkins. Hot jasmine tea was placed on our table as well as rice bowls, small plates, and chop sticks. We were then given an official menu and waited for 1015 minutes to place our orders. We ordered rack of lamb with sweet and spicy sauce, house fried rice, and hot sour soup with two iced teassimple I admit but rack of lamb isn't everyday nothing where I am from!. We were never offered water. The soup came and was delicious. It had chunks of seafood, tofu, mushroom, bamboo shoots, and sprouts Very tasty! They then brought a plate of what looked like meat to us. I had never seen lamb this way but...ok. Rice came and looked really good so we began. The lamb was what I personally would put in a stock pot with veggies and spices to create a hot and sour soup. It was fatty and did not have much meat at all. My husband ate it but he likes fatI do not and it was way more fat than meat. The sauce was not spiced at all. It was bland and not good. The rice was good although needed soy sauce for the salty flavor. No soy, chili sauce or even mustard if we are going stereo typical! Very disappointing. They did have homemade cookies to end the meal but I will not return. They never asked us if we needed refills on our drinks and there was a lady going around the room with iced tea in a pitcher and hot tea is a staple in an Asian restaurant! They were not comfortable with us spending our money there so I won't be comfortable returning.

After our meal we advised the Manager of the poor service we had received and he told us ""It is because she is Italian"". When we didn't tip the Manager's courteous manner quickly changed and he just walked away after taking payment. I took up the issues with Wildwood head office and was offered a small amount of compensation for the poor service we received but nothing for the casual racism that was displayed in front of my 7 year old son and 11 year old daughter. After discussing the issue with the regional manger it quickly became clear that the whole organisation has a lack of understanding of these issues. The regional manager even asked me what nationality the Manager was, he then asked if he was British I couldn't answer this question as I didn't really think about he race or nationality.

I assume the manager, agreed to seat us but turned to my friend of Asian origin and said In England, we call to say we will be late.

And then didn't bring her order despite taking our money.My wife only told me about the service after we left the venue as she did not want to cause a scene. I can not believe that the person behind the bar could act in such an overtly racist manner to guest.

This is something we rarely do as we find most of the local restaurants somewhat mediocre, two exceptions being Chez Tonton and Ci Vediamo Li, both in New Barnet. Do go to them if you have the chance.However, I had had a nice lunch with my friend at The Haven over the summer so we decided to give it a go.The restaurant, which is very large indeed, was full up. Unfortunately, this made it somewhat difficult to hear what my husband was saying. At first, we had a very efficient, professional waiter who helped us with our choices. All the staff were very busy and did not seem to be solely allocated to an individual table so over the course of the evening, we were served by other members of staff.My goats cheese salad was very nice, as were my husbands prawns though he thought the plum sauce was somewhat gloopy and certainly not made from fresh.Our aperif drinks were also very nice but when my Rioja came, it was like slight sour and fruity dishwater. Not good.My husband found his pasta main too salty but otherwise somewhat flat tastewise. My ribeye steak was mediocre. The texture was quite succulent but this belied a rather bland taste. My husband had cheese instead of pudding and the selection and quality were pretty good. My pudding was fine but how much can go wrong with Mvenpick icecreamThus far, we both thought that this was an example of yet another mediocre Whetstone restaurant but this one is more pricey.During the latter half of our meal, we were served by a seemingly amenable waiter who had an accent. My husband is notoriously bad at distinguishing accents and asked the waiter if he was Israeli. He told us that he was Turkish but that he understood why my husband had said that because there were so many Israelis in this area and indeed in this country. To my knowledge, this country only has a small Israeli population. I asked him whether he meant Jews or Israeli as Barnet has a disproportionately large percentage of Jewish people. He told me that it was the same thing and the impression he had in the 8 months he has been in England is that the Jews own the country. He encouraged us to agree with his point of view until my husband pointed out that we are two of those Jews. When my husband told the manager what the waiter had said, he told us, Everyone has their opinion but he shouldnt have said it. Either the Manager is an extreme liberal who believes that freedom of speech trumps all, or he was of the same opinion. To be honest, if someone is going to think racist thoughts about a group of people to whom I belong, I would rather know. But ideally I would prefer not to be served by a racist. Full stop.

Party of 3, two Caucasian and one Asian. Meet, greet and seat was fine. Cue the overtly racist waitress who looked at the Asian party member like something she'd stepped in on the street no racist words or tones used remember the opening statement. Two of the party immediately picked up on it and said nothing. ""I can't take your order just now because we're busy""! No apology, offer of drinks, or bread for the table. Interesting tone used! We had to ask a different waitress for some table bread. Not impressed so far but keeping calm and observing.Order eventually taken and food arrived. Scallops as starter, quite well done and reasonably tasty good presentation but a little cool. Chicken liver parfait was flavourless and lacked seasoning not by a little bit either.Haggis dish lukewarm; the most bland insipid haggis I've ever encountered I'm no stranger to haggis. The haddock was severely overcooked and the lamb... I'd lost the will to try some by this stage.Cue different waiting staff attending not requested but welcomed anyway.

As soon as we got to the front of queue I was told by the bouncer that my friends and I were not allowed into the club as we were too drunk. Which was a clear lie as we had not had anything to drink at this point. They then proceeded to let everyone else in queue into the nightclub even though they were incredibly drunk. So we waited another few minutes to see if they would change their mind. As we were waiting we noticed another group of British young men attempt to enter the club and they were also denied entry. I then approached the bouncer and asked him were we not allowed into the club because of our nationality, to which his response was some horrible language and he pushed me away from the nightclub.

The black males friends cooled the white guy down but the security then waded in and dragged out the black male for no reason. He wasn't aggressive or difficult and had done nothing. Absolutely wrong. We left soon after as we didn't like the vibe at all. The security continued to be aggressive and rude to the black male outside and to us when we defended him.

One of my cohort politely asked the bouncer, if the decision was gender or race motivated ... to which the bouncer replied ""come on jackson 5, you've ruined it for yourselves now"" which to me is nothing short of racism!

They didn't give us anything bread or water until we gave the order, but they serve bread to a white couple when they just seat on a table beside us. They didn't even speak the food's name when they bring food to us, but talk with some white people in another table for almost 10min with laughing and smiling when we are waiting.As a Asian, i had never face any discrimination in Canada and UK in my three years experience because i try to be good manner with everyone.

The first question that crossed my mind was, if this action would still be taken if the religion was differently presented, what if I had a Bindu on my forehead Or a cross around my neck Will they be stopped by the door and an equal action will be taken Its sad that in 2017, Cannes has such businesses operating, practicing racism, discrimination and violating human rights, precisely the right to freedom of expression and religion.

Aside the fact that the waiter was kinda hitting on me kept congratulating me for the way I looked and my posture, we he found out we're Romanians he stopped taking the order and called another colleague to serve us on the pretext that new waitress speaks our language. I'd like to think it was a nice gesture and not something negative, although that was the impression we got. The new waitress was very kind and she did speak and explained patiently everything she was asked. :La Capriata offers a regular menu and a glutenfree menu upon request, prices being slightly higher on the last 25 differences to menu with. The glutenfree melanzane Parmigiana were exquisite, the best we had tried so far! GF tortellini a ragu Bolognese were also delicious, with the 30 month old Parmesan on top. As for the joker desert, which was brought with a lighten candle, included: almond cake, chocolate cake, panna cotta and a pistachio freddo. The hidden costs were on slices of bread gluten, gluten free, when noticed only on check that we had to pay 4 and 2 each. Not a pleasant surprise to find out in the end something isn't really on the house but not mentioned otherwise when served without being ordered on purpose.

All the tables were being served promptly, while I had to ask at least 6 times for the order. The beer came after 20 minutes, when I was half way through the starters, and despite calling the waitress loads of attitude several times, there was no response. The European customers were being attended to, quite promptly. The beer they served, was not the local variety and when asked why, they said they were out of stock which is not true. The waitress came with the bread basket next, with exactly 2 very hard midget sized buns. Mind you, I am paying the same 2Euro cover charge. And no, they did not replace the cloth on the table before the meal was served as was being done with EU customers. The meat was well done, the antipasti was OK too. Fairly large spread. I must say, the meat was tasty. I was told they would accept credit cards, but when I was about to pay, I was forced to pay in cash while several customers paid via Card. Mine was a VISA.

We spent a lovely day in the surroundings of Lugano. The kids were exhausted and hungry from exploring and walking around. The five year old kid was already sleeping and therefore his mom was carrying the little boy. I was hurrying ahead of the group to avoid a detour on the way finding an open restaurant at around 5pm on a Sunday. When I arrived at the Olimpia, the outside area of the restaurant was occupied by around 70. I told a waitress that we are 7 persons and that we want eat something. Then, I was heading back to make sure nobody gets lost. In the meantime the mother of the five year old took the shoes off the little one and put the sleeping kid on the sofa outside the restaurant. One of the waitress told the two mothers that this is not possible. They asked for menu card to order something, but they waitress told them in a very unfriendly manner that it is only possible to eat at the table. When I was back with the rest of the family, I asked her if the boy can sleep on the sofa, while we are eating at the table in a distance of 5 meters. She told us this is not possible either. Now, I told her that I want talk with her manager. The answer was, the manager is not here, therefore she is in charge and we should leave the now. She wished us a good day in a very dismissive way.We went over to the Pizzeria Tango across the square. Where we received an excellent service, delicious food and spent 159 CHF which could be in the books of the Olimpia owner if his or her employees would have shown more flexibility and customer friendliness.As a Swiss, I am ashamed. This happens just a week after the ""Tschligate"" debacle with Oprah Winfrey in Zurich.

However, after hearing him speaking in Italian to the other staff it was clear that he was making fun of us because we were anglophones. When he came back to take our order he asked us where we were from two Australians and an American, after which he went into the kitchen and said that 'they're all American' and continued speaking about us in Italian we understand a little Italian and could pick up that it was racist, When were finished he came back and said 'you done' in a way that really meant 'get out'.

I ordered the mussels with fries. The steak was juicy and well cooked but the mushroom onion reduction was overly salty. My mussels were pretty good, barely any sand I might add.

I could see him preparing our dishes and the smells made my mouth water.

I am pregnant and had been craving for fries the whole day today and was hoping to get some crispy hot fries...the waitress apologized and offered me a side salad instead. She explained that they were all sold out of potatoes for the day. My darling husband gave me his fries instead but I couldn't shake the feeling that the reason my fries went to the table behind me was because we're Asian and the other table were Caucasian.

If this was to happen in the UK, there would be action taken against the waiter for racism.Our food was just about edible, had no flavour and the portions, well you could argue that we were lucky they were so small!We were made to feel uncomfortable by the waiter when he seemed to take pleasure in telling us they do not accept cards.

Quite liked sitting at the bar and having a good experience. Had been a while since the last visit and a friend wanted sushi. So I recommended Sea Me.As we approached the door a young Muslim couple with their stroller arrived at the same time. Respectfully, I let them go in before us. The gentlemen asked if there was a table for them. The female attendant at the door asked, ""Do you have a reservation"" His response was, ""We do not."" She tells him, ""nothing is open for tonight without a reservation."" He then asked, ""are you sure nothing is available"" ""Not tonight"" she replies. So they left. My friend and I requested to sit at the bar and was told there was space we could see there was and to wait a few minutes. We had no reservation. Then another two people came in and asked for a table without reservations. Just as the Muslim couple did before us. The attendant tells them, ""yes just wait a few minutes."" After that another couple walks in and asked for a table with no reservations and they were also told it was possible in a few minutes. ONLY the Muslin couple were turned away. This was quite sad to witness. The Muslim couple were dressed like any other tourists minus the wife's headscarf and were told there was absolutely no table available. Sea Me should be ashamed of themselves and this woman should be fired for her blatant racism. It's not fair and not right at all. Such a disgrace. Truly was disturbing.

Like most tourists walking around in the sun we had bottles of water which we placed on the table on arrival. With no one drinking from them surly waitress rudely warned another friend that drinking that water was prohibited even though he hadnt so much as touched it! Maybe they were just generally rude and not actually racist! Not so; we noted that an older white couple came in after us and were served coffee with a smile and a thank you which confirmed that our group which hails from 4 countries around the world was singled out for the special treatment by the young waitress. After waiting 20 or 30 minutes no food was forthcoming which was odd given the caf was nearly empty when we ordered. When a friend asked the less hostile waiter how long he expected the food to take his response was lets see what happens!!!

I was refused the food I wanted and so went for something off the lunch menu despite the fact of wanting to walk out at this point. What made it worse was that my tiny snack was served at exactly the same time as other tables were being served food from the main menu, which made me feel very angry and discriminated against. Another Asian couple was given the lunch menu at the same time, and later on in the evening the lady tried to seat a family of 4 on my table with me they were British.

Everyone was taking highly about the schnitzel, I chose to have Herb Pasta and Creamy asparagus soup. Both dishes were too salty to my like this is my third time in Austria, I feel Austrian do love their salt! It reads in the menu that the herb pasta is a special Vienna cuisine . It is special. I have never had anything quite like this before pasta cut in squareish shape and mixed with pickled cabbage , but it is not to say I liked it very much though.

A few moments later, we were told that they could manage it and we were told to sit in the bar area.To say the place had zero atmosphere would be an understatement.When the food did arrive it was OK but nothing special. They had run out of all puddings, though, apparently. The woman serving us became a little chatty as the meal came to an end and, after we had paid and three of our party had left the room, she started talking about where she had originally come from and thats when she said some things that left us feeling rather uncomfortable, leaving a very sour taste in the mouth!" +Restaurant,Date of visit: January 2018,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,"London, United Kingdom",Side order of racism anyone!,"Avoid this place, not only is the food bland and cold, you can expect racist staff to ruin the start of your holiday.

Some Asian customers came in after us and were given metal knives and folks. We ordered three dishes but only two came out, the waitress informed us that we only ordered two, which was silly because I saw her write it down on her note pad clearly, so I had to re order. My advice would be to find another restaurant unless you are Asian.

Heard that Rockpool was a very decent restaurant and we dressed up to have a nice dinner on boxing day.It is true that the food was quite nice, but it was a pity that we had to spend quite a money only to feel racism and ignored. This is my first time that I leave a review on trip advisor, but i am doing so, so that other people get treated properly for that worth of time and money.The table was located on the 2nd floor, and there was a gentleman attending us, and I expect him to be from Europe for his accent. We had to wait a long time every time we needed something, and it was so annoying to wait during the dinner. You should place more people to attend the guests if one person is not enough for serving. The bread was so hard that it nearly cost my teeth to get a bite, so we asked for different one, and we did not get that, although we waited 10 mins, 20 mins...and finally we could not have that during dinner.Also, when we ordered just one dessert because we were so full, the waitor said ""just one dessert that's it hahaha!!!"" and it was very very uncomfortable, rude, humiliating and felt as if he were laughing at us. You smile to people not laugh at them, and your restaurant needs to educate the waitor if he does not know that. Actually everything was perfect including the food and the place, but just one person attending us was so unpleasant that it ruined the whole dinner, when spending quite a bit of a money.Yes, he might have had a hard day working on holiday seasons, but we felt racism because he was so respectful, attending and friendly to other tables who seemed to be like white Americans and Australians, and us being Asians, we felt left out and ignored for the whole dinner.

The manager came and told me he was there to solve my problem. I proceeded to tell him that the way his staff apoke to me was quite rude and while i don't speak Arabic I have some basic language and I coild gather the insulting language he just heard his staff refer to me as.

There was a very loud drunk woman who insulted staff members, patrons, and people outside the bar. When we alerted the management and security they refused to kick her out. The drunk woman claimed she works at honeysuckle. I came with a group of friends and this drunk woman was yelling the moment we arrived. I heard her arguing with another customer and yelling at the waitress several times.Then an hour later, she really showed her true colors.Outside the bar, there were a group of young men quietly watching the soccer game.The drunk woman who was still drinking at a nearby table insulted them calling them poor monkeys. Then she started taking pictures of them. When the men protested she said more racist insults.There were two other tables of customers watching this gross behavior. One of the customers told the woman that she shouldn't take pictures of those men and she has been the aggressor. The woman became louder and angrier and started insulting one of the customers with racist insults and even insulted the people of ghana. She used a series of profane words and screamed at everyone at the bar.However the worst part was when a manager came with security and they didn't throw her out. They told the customers not to engage with her. Then the female manager sat down with the drunk woman. The female manager and the drunk woman were the only non black people there. It's very disappointing that even in ghana, people bring their racist attitudes and try to establish their racist culture here. If the situation was reversed and a black woman had insulted white patrons at the bar, she would be forced to leave. Yet at honeysuckle, you can insult black people, Ghanaians, and the manager will sit down and join you.I cannot come here again and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. I hope this place shuts down and the management and owners learn that racism has no place in ghana." +Restaurant,Date of visit: December 2017,Asia,Thailand,Bangkok,"Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia","Not worth a Michelin star. Mediocre food, racism and questionable service","I booked it for lunch because it's in Asia's Top 50. Now they have a Michelin star and after my experience here I thought this was all so fake. I came here alone and I arrived earlier than expected. I was made to sit outside to wait because the table ""was not ready"". After 15 minutes I was seated so no issue there. The other couple who came shortly after me was told the same thing. They were both seated 10 minutes after I got mine. However, the table that was given to them was already ready long ago, I have no idea why can't they seat people when the table is already ready Must you make people wait outside This is a super pretentious move.I ordered food for one, and coffee. Beef chilli basil clear pork soup. The bill came up to around THB 1k but was my meal worth it To start with the person who served my food as she served every other table she explained what was it but when it comes to mine she did not. I felt this was absolutely unprofessional, is this some kind of discrimination/racism So white looking tourists gets an explanation while Asians like us gets ignored I don't see the reason to selectively explain to people they want to. I immediately raised this to the manager and after my complaint, everyone gets equal treatment. In terms of food taste beef and chilli basil, mostly wasn't even meat to begin with. Fats, tendon and all the slimy stuff minced on a plate. Clear pork soup wasn't attractive. The only thing that was worth mentioning was the perfectly fried egg. To pay THB1k for mediocre food and very bad service, it is certainly not worth it. A single simple Thai dish like this did not score high, why would I even order anything else Never knew that an establishment like this deserves to receive a single Michelin star. I will definitely not return nor recommend this place to anyone, unless they fix their staffs and improve on the food. That being said, the manager who spoke a little more English than the rest was alright at least she acknowledged it.I would rather go to Osha Thai/Paste instead much much better overall package; food, service and satisfaction." +Restaurant,Date of visit: August 2015,Asia,Thailand,Bangkok,"Bangkok, Thailand",Rare example of Thai racism against foreigners,"Everyone knows Thailand is famous for its smiles, and generally Thai people are warm and friendly towards outsiders.

That confused us very much, and when I spoke in Thai to the lady with a sourpuss face in front, she just kept repeating that it was full. When I asked in Thai how come the westerners were allowed in, she again repeated it was full and refused to let us go to the pier side. Oh well. We walked away.

Waiter didn't respect us. Today I went this shop because I saw this shop has highly recommendation. But when I asked to taste ice cream flavor, waiter said, ice cream can taste only for USA. Why does it mean It means racism I am a girl from Asia. And then I asked for taste again, the waiter's attitude was so bad. His face was showing, ""I don't welcome Asia friends"". Is it racism I just want to buy some ice cream. can u give me some respect Please don't come to this shop thanks. " +Restaurant,Date of visit: August 2018,Europe,Croatia,Dalmatia,"Vancouver, Canada",First experience of racism in Europe,"As a family of colour, we have never experienced any kind of racism during our multiple trips to Europe. But I guess there is always a first time for everything. We arrived in Dubrovnik around 10:00 pm one night last week and after checking into our suites, asked our hostess for recommendations on places to eat. She immediately recommended Wanda as it right next door. So off we went as we were starving after a delayed plane ride from Berlin. We glanced at the menu and waited to be seated. After about a 5 minute wait, the maitred', who is also the owner, came up to us. I asked for a table for 4. There were lots of empty tables inside and a couple out on the street. But he looked at me and said they were closed. I was a little surprised because: 1. We had just watched him seat another couple, and 2. in our experience restaurants in Europe rarely close that early. My wife said she did not get a good vibe from the owner, but the rest of us, which is me and my two kids told her she was just overreacting. They must really be closed. No matter, we found another place to eat just down the street.As we really wanted to try this restaurant, we decided we would try again to have dinner there the next night. We made sure we got there early this time, so around 9:00 pm. we made out way there. We waited by the entrance, while the waiter walked by us several times. And so did the owner, at least twice. After keeping us waiting longer than the previous night the owner comes up to us and again I ask for a table for 4. He says they are full. Again there are at least 10 empty tables. So it's now clear that we are not wanted. We head off to a different restaurant where we are warmly welcomed and seated immediately, just like the previous night. The next morning we let our hostess know what had happened and she was puzzled. So I asked her if it was because of our skin colour and she said no that was not possible. Now the mother of our hostess does not speak english, but she was very friendly and did her best to communicate with us. So we let her know in english and sign language about our experience. And asked her to find out what the problem was. She promptly went over to the restaurant and when she came back a few minutes later she was visibly upset. She pointed to my arm, and when I said skincolour she nodded. And went on to indicate that the owner was a nasty person. She expressed with gestures and sign language how there were many people of colour in the town. But kept shaking her head at how we had been treated. So it turns out my wife was right when she said she got a really bad vibe from the owner of Wandas.I would love to have written a review about their food and I am sure it must be good. But unfortunately I will never know. And they will never get my business when we go back to Dubrovnik. This was the only bad experience we had here or anywhere else in Europe. The rest of our stay was awesome. And the other restaurants like LAJK that we ate at were very good. But this experience did leave a bad taste. How unfortunate that one incident can mar a perfectly good trip." +Restaurant,Date of visit: May 2018,Middle East,United Arab Emirates,Emirate of Dubai,unknown,The worst racism experience ever in Dubai during Ramadan for that matter,"I was called for a business meeting scheduled at 4pm on the 24th of May 2018 .I arrived at La Terrazza and my partner was waiting for me in the smoking area, apparently this was my first time visiting this restaurant.I kindly asked the way from a chef that works there and he directed me, as i arrived in the main hall that separates the smoking area and the dining i then asked a Philipino lady and she kindly pointed it out.As i entered i noticed my partner busy with a group of Europian clients so i decided to wait and i again asked the same lady if i could sit in the dining area while i wait for him , she permitted me.The restaurant was so empty and they were far from doing any operations as it was still Ramadan hours, minutes after a young Arabic waiter possibly Egyptian,very rude approached me and asked me like he was talking to his child what i wanted,what are you doing here,what do you want,why are you sitting here, he harassed me despite the fact that the young lady explained to him why i was there and i then asked him why he was talking to me in that manner...This guy was very rude and i asked if he was the manager and he said yes i am the manager what do you want...The place looks decent and all that but to have such treatment because you have a black skin wasn't nice at all and to consider the fact that the it's suppose to be a peaceful time and caring time i was very bitter....I never got the chance to do what i came for and he just ruined my entire day....His name is Nabil if i haven't forgot...in hospitality, you don't need his kind honestly..." +Restaurant,Date of visit: June 2017,United States,New Jersey NJ,Jersey Shore,angelampowell,Blatant Racism,"If you are okay with blatant racism smack dab in your face, then this is the place to go.

The manager came to serve us and gave several excuses for the lady that was to serve us.

I visited this restaurant for evening tea and snacks because I was staying in same hotel. I was deeply disappointed and never ate here again despite staying in their hotel.First of all, its a sensitive issue and I am not a professional writer. But I will put it as carefully as I can. This is possibly only place where I have seen a very obvious and blatant racism against Indians. I understand that some waiters want to serve foreigners well in expectations of fat tips. But nowhere else I have found this attitude blatant, obvious and at the cost of Indian patrons. As soon as we entered waiter gave us a look as if we were not supposed to be there. Hello Mr Waiter, wake up. I am staying with you. Dont expect me to go out for tea.Anyway, back to food. They took 45 minutes to serve tea. Then, I almost vomited on first sip. My wife immediately figured out that they had put salt instead of sugar by mistake. So we call the waiter and he is not even sorry. He simply takes away the tea and replaces it after some time. This time no sugar in tea. And no sugar was to be found anywhere. Attitude of waiter was such that we couldnt dare to call him again and ask for such luxury as sugar!We tasted few other dished we had ordered and didnt find anything worth eating. So we decided to sign the bill and walk out to look for another restaurant. That was the last I entered that restaurant." +Restaurant,Date of visit: January 2017,Asia,Indonesia,Bali,"Ipswich, United Kingdom",Casual racism...,"We were drawn in by the happy hour board. The cocktail menu looked awesome! We ordered a selection of beers...just after ordering we noticed some of the decor a picture of a monkey's head banana with the caption ""unkle Obama here"". We're quite relaxed and like a laugh, but it didn't sit well with us so we cancelled the order and left there are plenty of other places happy to have your custom. Real shame the solar plexus cocktail looked great just didn't want to accept casual racism." +Restaurant,Date of visit: May 2016,United States,New York NY,Albany,"Troy, New York",Blatant Racism,"Being an educated African American working in Management I avoid using racism to justify disagreements with individuals of other races. However, I can honestly say that the blatant racism that I experienced at Chillis on Wolf Road, Albany NY left a really bad taste in my mouth. I will never go there again for the rest of my life. It was my son's birthday, and we went there along with few friends to have a nice dinner. Our server was an older lady and as she took our drink order and tried to engage with us her energy seemed off. After she returned with our beverages and was in the middle of taking our meal order she said ""give me two minutes, I'll be right back"". My friend looked at me saying that's weird. I didn't think much of it. I assumed she might have to run to the restroom or something that would justify her running off in such manner. After she left out table she hurried around to a ""white couple"" who had been seated as she was about to take our order. Apparently she couldn't allow them to wait even though they came in after my group. That did not sit well with me. I watched as she placed utensils on their table, took their drink order and left to ring it in. I walked to the hostess stand and requested a different server. The hostess told me that she would get her manager in order for me to get my request. After waiting for a few minutes a male manager walked over. I told him what had happened and he didn't seem to care. He didn't say I'm sorry, or anything that you would expect of a manager in customer service. All he said was I'll see if I can find someone. I watched him walk to the back of the restaurant in the kitchen area as he talked and laugh with the same server who deserted my table to assist the ""white"" couple. At that point I knew my business wasn't welcome there and I walked out. That has been the worst service that I've ever experienced in my life. African Americans are not welcome there. Don't go there! That experience left me with a number of thoughts, like what do they really do to the food that they serve us. That is very disheartening." +Restaurant,Date of visit: October 2018,Asia,Japan,Chubu,"Bangkok, Thailand",Terrible service .. probably the worst experience so far,"I don't want to post the 'racism' comment to them, I'll let you be the judge. We walked in to the cafe with small number of customers but it took them more than 10 minutes to give us any attendance. Once they served us water, we asked to order and the waitress told us to wait. As more customers were coming in, they got to order before us. Finally, we got to order and more customers came it, they ordered and got food while we got nothing. We were waiting for 30 minutes with nothing, no food, no drinks except that water she served us when other customers got their order. We decided to leave because we had something planned. The old man yelled and waved his knife at us, supposed to force us to wait longer. But why should we They ruined our morning and made us late and hungry by keeping us waiting as they served other Japanese customers.

The shop was fulled of customers. Luckily we got a table right at the window. The services were horrible. They asked us to wait to order for 10 mins while other customers who came later could order before us. Then, after we ordered, it took another 20 mins to wait for food while again other tables coming later than us got food. The japanese customers got their coffee and breakfast before other tables!! So, we didnt want to wait since we had to catch a bus. We walked out without having any food served!! The old guy, supposed to be the owner, was super mad and yelled at us. We told the owners we already waited for 30 mins with nothing. But it seems they dont understand. I think because we are asia but not japanese so they dont want to treat us well.

They can not be so shameless to show racism now!! If so , what So what I should do.... I can do nothing, but inform to my country man to avoid such places where you are seen as mean!!

I was with a group of friends having drinks at Altstadt Restaurant in Swakopmund when a white man walked past our table, looked at me, turned to his friend and said ""Kyk daai kak"". He turned, looked back at me and said ""Hy moet daai kak afsny"". These comments were completely unprovoked and very disrespectful. As I was with my girlfriend who hates violence I chose not to retaliate and instead asked to speak to the manager. He refused to see me so I got up after an hour and went to speak to him. He asked me to just drop it, so I insisted he deal with the matter and a waitress jumped in and explained that I should let it go because they were drunk and as such they were not going to do anything about it. I insisted that it's unacceptable and he immediately rasied his voice, blaming me for the altercation and threatened to kick me out. So we went back and forth then I told him I won't settle the bill if he insists on kicking me out and doing nothing to him and he just told me to go have a beer and not cause trouble. I refused to settle the bill but my grilfriend and her sister insisted and they settled it. I dont want to trash talk this establishment, because the service was amazing, the beer was great but an owner who condones racism just promotes a racist environment. So I wouldn't recommend supporting this establishment until such a time that a change is made and situations like this are dealt with appropriately. As such I would like all my friends and family to share this message on their facebook page and/or Google review and boycott this establishment.

It was 43 degrees so I was dressed in slippers and shorts. I entered the club because it specifically said that the dressing was casual as it was mentioned that on the Google my business page check out screenshot. I entered the club at 4 pm and they did not stop me. Later at 9.30 PM I went out with permission to buy something and when I returned they refused me entry because I was in shorts. I talked to the same manager that I had taken permission from but he said that he was unable to help me and I could not enter. I think that this was really bad behaviour and as I was talking to the manager I was surrounded by bouncers who were threatening and rude. Finally I was forced to leave the club which was quite bad and was left feeling betrayed by the management. They should have told me earlier the club rules and casual dressing should not have been mentioned on the Google my business page as I was going with that information. So yes my whole night was ruined and somehow I left with a bad impresssion of Rajasthani hospitality which is supposed to be impeccable. I am sure that if I was a foreigner dressed in shorts I wouldn't have experienced this but in a way I saw racism towards indians at work at this place.

My 80 year old mother has a membership there. The daytime staff know us, respect us, and treat us very well. There is a world surf competition in Jac this weekend and Jac Blu has brought in extra security which I understand, however they are thugs and bullies. I was sitting at a table, having a drink, and had my foot up on another chair which everyone does, my mother does, is not uncommon, and are metal lounge chairs at a pool. A security guy came over to tell me to remove my foot but didn't just do it nicely or respectfully, because regardless of my opinion, if he had I would have just done it. He brought a big, bully, bouncer over to intimidate me and blatantly puffed up, looked at me and treated me aggressively, then even after I removed my foot asked me if there was a problem. I told him I complied and him intimidating intentionally is wrong and I was going to pay my bill and leave. He then called over 6 other security staff who stood their, laughed, harassed, made jokes, and intentionally continued to try and intimidate me. I paid my bill, tipped my waiter, who was embarassed and apologized, and started to leave. As I was leaving I was continually harassed, threatened, and bullied. At that point I got onto the street outside of Jac Blu being followed by the big bouncer. I felt threatened and in danger and turned around, told him I complied, payed my bill, and willingly left with no incident but if he followed me onto the street I would be forced to react in a defensive manner. Then as I was walking up the street they continually harassed, made comments, threatened me, and the bouncer told the security guy to pull his machete. I told them that I was leaving, off the property, and if he pulled his machete I would justifiably use any means necessary to defend myself. The only time I go to Jac Blu is in the day with my mother because they blatantly mistreat ""gringos"", take advantage of us, and disrespect us. This was a blatant act of racism and agression.

It couldn't have possibly been the table of 8 next to us 4 black people.

The truth is we arrived on a busy day with rugby being played in good view of our table. The fact that you can watch sports on a TV or outside is a bonus. The fact you can get a 1kg burger or monster Tbone or 1/2kg cut of meat on tap or an amazing array of beers. This is a pub environment or a steakhouse environment or a sports bar. I have had many periperi sauces but there is a unique edge to this one, although not hot, it is tasty. On principle based on what I have read in the reviews I will not comment on the service or management and I hope that this gets sorted out quickly as it will have an impact on whether I return again or not.

I was visiting from the US and had a horrible racist experience here. We sat at the bar and half way through my first glass, a peanut hit my shoulder. At first I thought it was a random occurrence but after the 3rd peanut hit me I knew it was more than intentional. Now normally I would not blame the bar for something its patrons do, but the 2 grown men doing it were standing right next to the bar host stand, where the host was in fact standing and chatting with them.

The ""OR LEAVE"" was unspoken but clearly understood.I looked around; it was pretty empty, almost nearly deserted. So it wasn't a space issue. I also hadn't been made aware of this policy when I had been in the cafe before and been the only person ordering something. So it wasn't a policy issue. Then i saw it: my boyfriend was the only brown person in this korean/asian staffed, mostly korean clientele cafe. Yup, it was a wrong ""type of customer"" issue. I remembered how the weird looks from other staff as we had entered and browsed the artwork greatly differed from their friendliness sansbrown boyfriend. I felt horrible that i'd brought my partner into such a bizarre situation in my selfish pursuit of some tea and ambiance. We looked at each other, gave the ""NOPE"" glance and decided to bail on this ""cute"" cafe.

To add insult, I could literally count the pieces of meat in my burrito. It consisted of mostly lettuce and cheese! We were not checked on once after receiving our food and the next time we saw the waiter he was bringing the bill. I've never felt so disrespected, appalled and a little hurt to be treated like this because of my skin color.

We were 3 girls in Huntington beach for 3 nights a doctor, a teacher and a scientist, not J1 students definitely don't go to HB if you're looking for a J1 and just wanted a normal night out. We were all over 21, and presented our passports at the door only to be told that they weren't legitimate forms of ID despite the fact that over 120 countries in the world seem to think that passports are legitimate. We were told that the only way we could get in was to be personally escorted in by a police officer. Meanwhile many Americans could easily walk in after displaying whatever ID they had on them. This is an common thing to experience in HB. Ask any waiting staff in the restaurants in main street. That's where you'll get some honesty. They'll be straight up with you and tell you that many places will turn you away if you're Irish. The Killarney bar across the road is exactly the same. We argued with the door man and repeatedly told him that he was being racist and discriminatory. We insisted on seeing the manager and said that their door policy reminded us of the 1960's policy of ""No Blacks, No Dogs, No Irish"". We only were allowed in after the customers outside with us started arguing on our behalf with the staff. After all that, it wasn't even worth it. Apart from the English football scarf wrong country guys! hanging behind the bar, this place was no different to any other dump you'd encounter anywhere else.Overall, my experience of HB as a young person was awful and I would actively discourage any young Europeans from visiting here. I really regret going. It's a sleepy boring area with nothing to do. It really is only a surfing beach and a main street with overpriced souvenirs shops.

My first encounter on the day of its opening with the founder Akash and I hear this statement....wow! Really it's another Tommy Hilfiger scoop for the broadsheet here if you want to pickup. Wish I had recorded this conversation but only if I had known what I am about to witness is racism. I wouldn't rule out a place just because of my brief conjecture and decided to give this place a shot purely for food and service. Went on number of occasions and found it pretty busy. Saw the owner at the counter and congratulated him again. Got a cold shoulder yet again, this is incredible for a restaurant owner who has filled seats in the first week of opening. A little smile or sign of joy would have done the trick but no his attitude remained what you call of a server who is very disgruntled by working long hours and under paid.This story gets better so read on....I decided to give them another shot to see how they fair in outdoor catering or rather their catering with delivery option not available so you better pick up despite ordering four days in advance. Fair enough restaurant is busy and they don't want to delay orders. But messing up order for over 30 people Yes that's painful not for the restaurant but for the guests and the host as they go home hungry. Deconstructing the scenario here:Day 1 Called their catering number to enquire about the Diwali package a week prior. Response received yes they can do delivery and make changes but need to check the slots so send an email. Call answered by guess who None other than the owner Akash.Day 2 Visited restaurant and ordered the Thali to taste the food and ensure we know what we are ordering. The aloo gobhi served in restaurant is totally different from their catering menu and no information given whatsoever. The gobhi cauliflower we got was uncooked with hard potatoes. So essentially nothing for vegetarian guests during the party.Same day spoke to a very polite gentleman Emyr. He answered questions but couldn't confirm the delivery and order details so requested us to email or call on the catering number.Phoned them same afternoon and got in touch with Rana another owner.After answering our questions which she seemed rather reluctant, I told her about my observation that how I have enquired about catering with number of people in last couple of days and no one seems to have the exact information and everyone says to call the catering number which is what I have been doing. Instead of trying to fix the problem she abruptly said, "" no one is forcing you to order with us""...yes Maam, you are not forcing usand this kind of attitude is unpalatable leaving a very very bad taste before even eating your food.Day 3 Ordered food for 30 people as we had a party and this restaurant despite the fetid attitude has some decent food. Day 4 My guests went home hungry why because they messed my order for over 30 people who were vegetarian and got Saag chicken for their mains and uncooked gobhi. Round of applause for this upcoming restaurant which has been completely successful in ruining my experience not on one but every occasion. ...Bravo!!The concept of this restaurant has a good potential only if the owner evolve their demeanor from being arrogant to humble and start paying attention to their customer service.On contrary the service staff I have come across has been good, polite and smiley. The food is decent not extraordinary. Expensive yes for the kind of the restaurant which I would pay happily but they can't expect people to suck up to what they offer especially ""the racist, I don't care attitude""." +Restaurant,Date of visit: September 2015,United States,California CA,San Mateo,"San Francisco, California","Good food, maybe a side of racism","First off, the food is quite good, the restaurant is very clean and new, with a nice ambiance. At this place, you order your dim sum by checking off what you'd like on a menu, rather than having the carts pushed around. This means its a little less chaotic than other places of the size. Nice selection of dim sum types, with some interesting options I haven't seen elsewhere like salty dumplings with pumpkin and multiple different types of green vegetable. However, it was kind of disconcerting as a group of nonAsians to have the hostess walk up to us and say ""Gweilo"" while frowning means 'white ghosts' or 'white devils'. She then walked us past a large number of empty tables to seat us at arguably the worst table in the restaurant, stuck at the kitchen entrance where there was a buffet table being used by the waitstaff to bus tables, prep stuff, etc. The least attractive corner of the restaurant.We were then ignored. A few of the hot dishes arrived cold, such as fried taro dumplings. Aside from food being dropped off, we didn't have any service, although the staff was coming and going to tables near ours. Trying to get anyone's attention to get our bill took so long we contemplated leaving without it doubt anyone would have noticed. When we finally paid, the person forgot to bring back my credit card for a good 15 minutes. Upon leaving, we noticed another group of Gweilo being led to the same table.Luckily, the food and our own company was good enough that we just laughed about the hilariously bad service.We ordered way too much, and the bill came to about 110 for 5 people, but again, we ordered way too much.If you do go here, make sure to try the abalone." +Restaurant,Date of visit: March 2018,United States,Colorado CO,Boulder,"Boulder, Colorado",The Quiet Racism of Boulder Strikes Again!,"On March 29th, a friend and I chose this restaurant for my friends goingaway meal. When we got there, our server was Katie, and she seemed nice in the beginning. My friend and I both apologized for coming in 40 minutes before you closed, but seeing as the news of her leaving town had just happened, it was a last minute decision. Moreover, I usually enjoy my time at the Chophouse in Denver, but when I come to the Boulder location I usually sit at the bar with Erica who is always a pleasure, so I believed the service and food would be great.. Anyway, after we finished our meal with the exception of that heinous cornbread, I paid and went to the restroom. Upon returning, my friend informed me that Katie looked in the bill book in front of her saying, Im just going to do some quick math, and after seeing that I tipped her properly, she tried to cover her rudeness by adding, I just wanted to make sure she didnt leave her card. I have been in customer service for the last 12 years, including serving tables, and never have I been so rude and disrespectful to check a tables tip in front of them. Im just going to do some quick math implies that she expected us, as AfricanAmerican women, to leave a poor tip. In all honestly, on a 98 bill, I absolutely planned on tipping her 20, but I was thinking of giving more because of the fact that we were the last table and, as Ive already said, Im usually treated with respect. Im glad I didnt. This is the ultimate problem: The racism that Boulder tries to pretend it doesnt have has made things so unbearable for my friend that she has given up trying to make life work here, and we were sharing one last meal together in this town. I myself have endured this trouble for the last 2 years: I have written about it, been published in Boulder Weekly, and have called it out on air at KGNU. Katie feeling the need to assume she wouldnt be tipped, AND CHECKING IN FRONT OF US, is another example of Boulders regular passiveaggressive and microaggressive attitude towards People of Color, who are already few and far between in this socalled sanctuary city. I even made a point to ask Katie to her face if it was good enough math for her. All she could do was the SAME NONCHALANT GIGGLE THAT ALL OF BOULDER SEEMS TO DO when being called out for its postracial lies. Boulder claims to be aware of itself and receptive to new ideas and people, but it has shown me over and over that that is an illusion this town feeds itself and projects to the rest of the world. The more I witness this, the more I am going to report it. As often as I go to the Denver Chophouse, I know for a fact they would have NEVER treated us like this. So, I guess I should say thanks to Katie for displaying Boulders true colors isnt that punny.

Apart from that, I had never entered a place where it felt as heavy as Carol's Place. The old waitresses are very serious, or at least serious for anyone who is not North American since several times I smiled with two of them and their response was disapproval and seriousness, but with my American friends it was all laughter. My waitress forgot to offer me coffee, she did not give me extra napkins until I asked for them, Really if you're not a North American person or if you're not blond, white with blue or green eyes you can breathe racism everywhere. I do not consider myself a selfconscious person at all, but it was very funny to enter and observe some disapproving looks from the diners and some old waitresses. While I waited for my food I could observe how some people sitting at a table near me commented on atrocities of some black people who were in front of me. If this restaurant does not have bad comments, I'm sure it could be because only North American people have commented that they have really had a good time understanding racism on the part of those in charge of Carol's place. As for breakfast, nothing bad. It is not the most exquisite thing on the planet but it is allowed to eat, except pancake that are horrible and tasteless. I really felt very disappointed that this still happens in the society in which we live, unfortunately I think that racism is something that can not be eradicated so easily from some societies. Personally I do not return to this place to eat, I really do not recommend it at all. It was debut and farewell." +Restaurant,Date of visit: July 2018,United States,Florida FL,Florida Panhandle,unknown,If you like racism this is the place for you,"I love local business. I love to support places like this anywhere I go. I have been here in Carillon for a week and have gone to this narly little caf every single day for crappy coffee and sub standard faire. This afternoon I fed a party of thirteen in the pouring rain under their small umbrellas. I had the worst buffalo chicken salad on the planet. After that my kids and their friends went back on their bikes and ordered and paid for ice cream. While they were eating my son popped a stray water balloon that was sitting on a table. Then he left. Shortly after the owner came out and unloaded on his friend, who is darker skinned and told him the water balloon had special meaning and yelled and screamed. My poor 11 year old daughter was so frightened she offered the woman her last five dollar bill to help pay for the stupid balloon. She also apologized to her twice. I called this woman once I heard about this and the only thing she had to say was that she didn't yell but was unhappy about having to clean the ""mess"". water and a balloon. What she didn't mention to me was how she told her waitress ""not to serve those people"". Never again. The food is gross. I wouldn't be surprised if it's not up to code." +Restaurant,Date of visit: June 2015,United States,Florida FL,Florida Panhandle,"Little Rock, Arkansas",Discrimination and racism towards the Caucasian clientele no doubt!,Heard good things about this place from a few friends and also some decent reviews helped me decide to try something different. Well I will say the food was quite good. However the indifferent attitude towards us for being Caucasian was apparent and obvious. What a shame... We most certainly will not return. +Restaurant,Date of visit: June 2018,United States,Florida FL,St. Augustine,"Tampa, Florida",Mel,"First, I'm glad I didn't read some of the negative reviews prior to going because it would've discouraged us, especially in reference to racism. We are a biracial couple, my husband is African American and I am Hispanic. I am not discrediting anyone else's experience by any means, but we did not encounter that. In fact, through out our entire stay, that was one thing we really loved about St. Augustine. We felt it was very embracing. Our service at Llama was impeccable. The waiter was very knowledgeable and engaging. We had no idea Peruvian food was so internationally influenced. We DID make reservations. The restaurant is small and cozy. There was a bit of a wait between our courses but I appreciate that because it means our food was fresh. The ceviche was TO DIE FOR! This was the type of place that from appetizer to dessert, everything was top notch! Great place, great food! " +Restaurant,Date of visit: June 2018,United States,Florida FL,St. Augustine,"Boulder, Colorado",Scent of racism,"We spent the day in St. Augustine and had a wonderful time. At the end of the day, we looked for a well reviewed restaurant on TripAdvisor and found the Llama Restaurant was well reviewed for special occasions. The visit was on a Thursday, about 5:30 pm. As soon as we entered, we were asked if we had a reservation as we saw two of the about 12 tables occupied. We said that we did not, and the female hostess/server said that she had to check for space. She returned from the back of the restaurant and informed us that we could sit at the bar for dinner. We inquired if all of the tables were reserved and she said that they all were. Our level and sense of discomfort was great and we had an uneasy feeling that we were not considered the appropriate types of customers there. We promptly left, the same as we entered but with the feeling that our slightly darker tone of Hispanic skin and heritage was not welcome here. We are not used to this type of treatment and felt it appropriate to share with others that may be interested. We welcome a response from the owner or manager." +Restaurant,Date of visit: August 2018,United States,Florida FL,St. Pete Beach,"Tampa, Florida",Horrible horrible racism experience,"Im in tears as I write this review. My husband and I have eaten here about 67 times so far. The food has always been great and the service fast. Usually there is an extremely nice female chef in the back who comes out and makes small talk with the clientele. Today August 28, 2019 at approximately 1:00 pm we stopped in, and had a great lunch. This is where the day took a horrible turn.The waitress took our payment as well as the customary 20 tip that we leave at every establishment we go into. She went into the back to the chef and said something to him which we did not hear. What we and the table next to us 4 Caucasians heard loud and clear was the chef say Arnt they good lil NIGERS.I was in total shock! My husband and myself are both African Americans. The older man at the table next to me looked shocked and at first dropped his head. Then he looked up and told me, please dont start a ruckus. Just leave. Still in shock, we got up and walked out. Never in my wildest dreams would I ever have thought I would experience this here or anywhere else on St Pete Beach! Im 50 years old and have NEVER EVER been treated this way. It catches you off guard and leaves you at a loss for words! Obviously, I will not be returning here except to speak directly with the owner concerning this situation. Stunned and extremely hurt" +Restaurant,Date of visit: May 2017,United States,Florida FL,Sebastian,"Miami, Florida","We were victims of racism and bullying. Never to comeback, for sure.","First time in this restaurant, treated like ""crab"" and never to comeback...for sure! We were attracted by the location and the fact that is one of Sebastian's oldest buildings. Ordered 2 fish and salad plates and pay 44 for it. The price seemed a little too high for the place, but we gave it a try. First ""formal"" restaurant we've been where you pay before you eat your meal... The portions of both, my husband and mine, fresh fish was like a kid's size nugget. And the salad consisted on a bunch of packed dry lettuce and a few small pieces of tomatoes, that's it... PLUS served on plastic plates with plastic utensils. We were shocked! I asked to talk to the manager or owner. We felt that what we were being served was not at all worth the price we payed for. He came to our table and in a very polite manner I explained our reasons for the discomfort and showed him what we were served. I gave him a comparison with a few similar places we are clients of in Miami. He said, ""oh yes, I shall be ashamed of myself for serving you this."" He took the plates and throw them in the trash. I went to the cashier to ask if we were going to get new plates or our money back By then were were feeling really uncomfortable and it was already a terrible experience. He gave us the money back and proceded to insult me not considering us as a firsttime customers, not considering other customers around, not considering us as human beings. Instead, he was very quick at saying ""you should be ashamed of yourself"" ""do you think these old white people ever complain about my food"" ""you Miami people... we don't like your kind, do not ever comeback to my restaurant."" And the door was slammed after we left. Well, that made it somewhat clear to us. We were shocked. Quietly returned to our car and realized we had been victims of racism by someone who is clearly in the wrong job, who has no sensitivity whatsoever and who is quick at bullying people, more so if you are LatinAmerican and European, like my husband and I. This gentleman should not be serving people. Period. Our lunch experience in Sebastian ended in Jalisco, a wellknow Mexican restaurant in town. Great service, good food and good atmosphere!" +Restaurant,Date of visit: May 2016,United States,Georgia GA,Carrollton,"Temple, Georgia",Worse service or a bad case of racism,"The family stop at this restaurant on May 22 at 6:00 pm. The waiting area was full and we were told a 25 minutes eait. So after 32 minutes we were seated at a table that was available when we arrived. During the time we waited , we noticed about 9 tables that were empty but full of dirty dishes.its important to noted that we were seated at the same time as 2 ladies. We both were seated in the same area. After 20 minutes waiting at our table, with no one stopping at the table. I when and found a manager Frederick Hall I told him how unhappy i was with the way I was treated and told him the 2 ladies that were seated when we were seated had there order takes and had received there drinks and foods, but a server won't stop at our table. We noticed 3 servers working the area. The manager was not help, he didn't like my attitude and told me I should leave, he couldn't help me. I ask for his name and a phone to call to file a complaint. He give me the information and stated it didn't matter if I called. I called the number when I got home and let a message. It's been 3 days with no return phone call. The company that owns this restaurant doesn't care about how poorly this restaurant is run. The 2 ladies that got service, the wait staff and the manager are all the same race, we are white and they are not. DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY AT THIS RESTAURANT. after one hour we let without getting anything to eat or drink." +Restaurant,Date of visit: February 2017,United States,Georgia GA,Doraville,unknown,Blatant Racism,"Blatant racism.I have been coming to this place for a long time and though you can rack a bill up quickly it had always been a fun and tasty experience until late last year. This place is always packed so there is always a wait but last Dec. when some of my friends arrived late and sat at our table problems began. Now, this has happened before but the people were white or asian and no one said anything so I know it isnt the policy to disallow people from joining a table who arrive late. This was the first time some of my black friends were meeting me at Shoya and when they sat down the manager flipped out. I mean flipped out. You could hear him cursing at the front desk and screaming at the server.He refused to allow the server to take any more orders. We had to close out our tab, reenter the line, wait another 30 minutes before being allowed to sit and place an order. At the time I thought it was extremely strange and maybe racially motivated but my visit last night just sealed it.Other than myself everyone was a person of colour. There were 5 of us. The place was busy and we expected a wait. The boss was taking down names again, as we put our name on the list one of the waitresses looked over and said"" Oh, hell no!"" in our direction and walked off. I tried to ignore that and the boss said 30 minutes, so, we waited outside it was cold but we didnt mind and than we came in.When we checked in, he said oh it will be another 30 minutes or more and it would be best if we waited outside. He also said the wait was because the restaurant could not accommodate such a large party of 5 people it might be even longer wait. Than it sank in. This place had parties seated that were 8 plus, one party had 10 people and he didnt want us waiting inside the restaurant with other patrons. We also noticed our group was the only group at that time with people of colour in it. He was lying and he was never going to seat us. He was waiting for us to get frustrated and leave, which we did. It was very sad." +Restaurant,Date of visit: October 2013,United States,Georgia GA,Douglasville,"Atlanta, Georgia",Racism being practiced here by black employees,"Good food poor service and it seems that the black employees at this location seem to only greet white customers. I visited this location on Sunday October,13,2013 with a white friend and he was greeted by a black employee named Crystal but she completely ignored me and this is not the first time that this has happened to me at this location. I told her that I was insulted by her clear act of racial bias. There is subtle form of racism being practiced here by black employees toward nonwhite patrons at this restaurant. I am going to contact the manager and corporate office about this matter." +Restaurant,Date of visit: March 2016,United States,Georgia GA,East Point,atlanta,bad customer servie and racism...,"I do not even know where to start! The wait was supposed to be 40 minutes. After 20 i checked up on the hostess and she told me to wait a little longer, 40 mins had passed and i talked to the manager who really did not care about my concern! 45 mins still not seated.After 52 minutes we were finally seated. It took 18 more minutes for someone to get our drink orders. In the meantime i had to go to the bar to get my elderly mother a glass of water so she could take her medication after standing and waiting for a very long time. The bartender was too busy to hand me a glass of water so i had to be very firm about it which to me was very rude and odd! Finally we received our drinks but do not think that we ever got a refill while sitting there and waiting for over 30 minutes to have our chef finally show up! Once he did show up we still did not had any sauces in front of us and did i mention that the show cooking did not really happen because the chef was too busy socializing with one guy talking about subjects that make people uncomfortable Well mind your conversations at work please! Other hibachi places do a way better job including their audience but since they were understaffed and money hungry it did not happen ....sad! Oh when i ask the manager about our drinks he just brushed me off and waved at me like i am some type of fly, yes...not a paying customer but a parasite but i think the real issue was simply because my mother and boyfriend are Caucasian and no one else in the restaurant were...!On our final bill we also got charged 2 additional for rice! No other place out of the 25 other Hibachi places that i have been to charge for rice...its like charging for water but like i said..money hungry they are! The only thing that happened fast in that place was bringing us the check! REAL customer service would have been the manager coming to our table and apologizing for the wait and offering us anything to make us more welcomed but that did not happen at all. Also the bathrooms were dirty and not restocked!Bad customer service and racism does not sound too well so there is no need to go back to this location ever!" +Restaurant,Date of visit: February 2019,United States,Georgia GA,Social Circle,"Miami, Florida",Good old south racism,"I was there with my family to have lunch, I'm not a local I'm from Miami. I was there with my family that lives nearby and everything would of been great. But when middle son came in with his black wife and there son, it seemed like everything went quiet, maybe it was me but i did a scan of the restaurant and it seemed like all eyes were on us. We sat down and ordered our food. It seemed to take a little longer than i thought it would for our food to arrive, when our food was severed everyone but my middle son family got there food.

This is a neighborhood bar and grill where most people you could tell were regulars on an early Tuesday evening.Tried the wings and both my wife and I tried the burgers. Food was very good and prepared well.Problem here is the environment. Sitting at the table across from us were a small group of loud obvious racist, who kept using the ""N"" word and telling inappropriate racist jokes LOUDLY across to people at the bar. My wife and I are an interracial couple who have been married more than 25 years, and we were incredibly surprised that no one said anything. Obviously, I wanted to speak up but my wife just wanted to get out as quickly as possible.

Another male Caucasian customer stated they ignored him as well and refused to take his and others orders also. We were forced to use a kiosk that was dirty and nasty. However, I observed when black customers approach the counter, the clerk quickly and cheerfully took their order. In addition, the clerk didn't give a receipt for my order. Upon requesting the front manager to get me a receipt, she did not know how to work the registers enough to supply one. As always I remained polite and told the manager I would not return to this location and they needed to ""get their act together"" and left to some applause from other customers sitting at a nearby table. The only positive highlights were my order was correct and observing the cook working hard and diligently to keep orders going out.From reading other reviews in Trip Advisor.com and Facebook, it appears this is an ongoing problem for approx. 3 years reviews from 5 yrs ago are mostly positive. I would definitely recommend traveling to another local McDonalds restaurant when in Ruston, LA." +Restaurant,Date of visit: April 2018,United States,Maine ME,Portland,"Boston, Massachusetts",The first place in the world where I experienced racism,"We are a group of students from Boston. We had dinner at a Japanese restaurant before we left Portland, Maine. The writing on the paper strip reads, Please pay tips as 15 to 18 of your cost. Thank you so much for coming. Thank you! It is in Chinese. We asked the waitress do they have the same paper strip printed in other languages, as well as to ask their manager to come. She signed, Uh! while leaving our table. The owner of the restaurant came. He explained that they printed these strips since some travelers dont know the culture of paying tips here. We said, Do you have the same paper strips in Japanese, Korean, French or Spanish, any other languages Please show us. He responded that the Japanese on the plate has the same meaning. We dont believe these five Japanese characters carry the same meaning. The owner said, If you dont want to pay tips, thats okay. You dont need to pay. We said, This is not the matter of money.I want to say that the owner talked gently to us from the beginning, and he apologized in the end. However, the waitress said, I hope you guys have a wonderful day. I dont want to serve people like you, when she returned the receipts for us to sign.I was pissed off. But later on, I feel sorry for the waitress who would be almost impossible to develop her empathy and mentality to understand why we were angry and why what they are doing is considered practicing racism. She viewed us as unreasonable and aggressive troublemakers.I experienced regionalism in Taiwan and Hong Kong. After Singapore, Korea, Malaysia, Cambodia, America, Peru, and Bolivia, finally, I experienced how racism is like, which, to some extent, is eyeopening. I never saw this kind of reminders in any restaurant in Boston, New York, and DC, the only cities I have been to in the states. I am a student who lives with a financial constraint. But I do pay tips. And I wont pay for racism." +Restaurant,Date of visit: August 2017,United States,Maine ME,York,"Boston, Massachusetts",Dinner with a side of racism,"We had quite the racist time here the other evening.There was a magician wandering the restaurant to interact with the children and I heard him start a trick at another table with the line, ""two chinese, two mexicans, and I..."" My husband is Chinese so we stared at each in shock for a moment and then I went to speak to the manager. When she asked what she could do for me, I explained that, while I was sure this older man working as the magician was lovely to them I was worried he might have been some employee's father , he had just started a trick with the line, ""two chinese, two mexicans, and I..."" and I thought that the restaurant management would want to know about it. I assumed, wrongly it turns out, that a young woman from New England in this day, so soon after the Charlottesville incident, would be concerned about the casual racism but she wasn't at all. She told me the management had hired this magician, she had no say in it, and that this line was only part of a trick anyway. I asked if she could think of anything in a magic trick that would make his opening acceptable and she started repeating, ""what do you expect me to do about this"" over and over. She finally offered to move us but I told her that wasn't at all my point; that I was more concerned that the restaurant had hired someone who was making casual racist comments and didn't appear to care. At that point, I walked back to my table to finish my father's birthday dinner. Our brisk waitress suddenly disappeared and we waited 40 more minutes for any food. At no time did anyone on the staff approach us to express concern or apologise and we were charged the full amount for our dinner." +Restaurant,Date of visit: April 2018,United States,Massachusetts MA,Cape Cod,"Hyannis, Massachusetts",Racism everywhere,"Although the food was good and waitress was a sweetheart owner seemed to have a problem with us been there.

I knocked on the door and asked why the store wasnt open. A very tall employee approach the door angrily and aggressively. Yelling at me saying that the dining room was closed. I said the sign on the door here says that you open at six and it is now after 730.

We ordered drinks and food and had just begun to eat when the manager walked over to us and put our bill inside a glass, and sat it down in front of us and walked away. The restaurant was full and from our observation no one else was given their bill inside a glass as they were still eating. The assumption by us was that we were to leave as soon as we were done eating. My husband was the only minority eating in the establishment at the time, which also made us wonder if we were getting targeted for being a minority family. Josephs is known for really good pie, which we were planning on ordering as well but we were not even given the option. The bar tender apologized for the rudeness displayed by the manager. My husband asked to speak to the manager and moved him into the lobby so that he was respectful of the other patrons. My husband voiced his concern to the manager and the manager began yelling at him, stating he gives the bill like that to all patrons, which as we observed was not true. The manager on his own without being questioned about racism stated, Im not a racist, but obviously that was a driving force behind his action to give us our bill while we were still eating or else he would have never jumped to that conclusion. The manager knew what he did was wrong, and his unprovoked denouncing of not being a racist was evidence of his true feeling that he didnt want us in his establishment." +Restaurant,Date of visit: April 2019,Africa,Mozambique,Inhambane Province,unknown,Good food but rife with racism,"We had a great culinary experience, with multiple recommended seafood dishes. We were enjoying a lovely lunch until we become uncomfortable overhearing the manager speaking to Mozambican customers and local staff in the most degrading way.

I've never been to a restaurant where old school racism and classism was so apparent. Not having experienced anything like this in 30 years, I had apparently erroneously believed that St. Louis had become more progressive than this. But the treatment received at John Mineos clearly suggests otherwise. Not only was the behavior of the manager on duty bad, but in providing feedback to the owner's son, John Jr., it was clear that the manager's behavior was condoned. This is my first online review, but felt this was particularly warranted. It is places like this that give St. Louis a bad reputation. I will never patronize this establishment again.

Then Papa John's became the national symbol of racist pizza when the founder made racist comments and the chain came down on the wrong side of the NFL kneeling players controversy.

In either case, when I called that afternoon to speak to a manager, she told me that she was a manager. When I asked her why she kicked my son out of the restaurant, she denied his story.Manager on Duty: Kayla, the one with blue hairSum: What was supposed to be a treat, a nice distraction, from his greatgrandmother in the hospital became a sad reminder of the state of this country today.Details: On Tuesday, November 20, 2018, my Grandmother was taken for tests directly before noon. We used navigation to find a place where there was a great deal of fast food to distract the boys. My 12yearold was given a 10 bill and we said we would circle around to get him after the rest of us went through drive through. When we made it through Taco Bell then the Steak and Shake, we circled back to pick up our straight A, son to discover that he wasnt given a treat at all, but a life lesson on how people can be less than decent to others. I walked in and asked for a menu so I could see the toppings. The lady behind the counter said that they did not have a menu. I ended up just adding pepperoni because I was embarrassed to keep asking. But before she put my pizza in the oven, another person walked in with a baby. She spoke with that person and just let my pizza sit there. When the person left, she put my pizza in oven. When the pizza came out, she said, Bye, you can go now; I have other customers. My son was shocked and left the restaurant as instructed. He is used to listening to adults. But, when he got in the car, he told me that a blue haired woman named Kayla told him to leave the restaurant because she had other customers even though there were not other customers in the restaurant. There was a small table and two chairs that could be seen from the window where he could have sat until we returned. He ended up going inside the door briefly because he was getting cold but then we came to get him. When this story was told in the hospital, I promptly called the store. I asked to speak to the manager. Kayla said that she was the manager. I stated that my son said that he was asked to leave the restaurant. She stated that she was the only one that had been in the restaurant all day and that this did not happen. This didnt make sense; this 12 year old had no reason for creating this story nor was this fun or a getoutoftrouble story.

Yuck. 2. 10 or 11 year old daughter of owner was working the cash register. She charged 96 on our debit card for a 40 breakfast. The card, thankfully was declined. My husband explained the mistake to the owner and instead of apologizing for the mistake and maybe saying a child shouldn't be given the task of using a credit card machine, she was rude. She eventually reversed the charges and we paid in cash, but their mistake tied up our money for 24 hours. They were not authorized to charge that amount to our account. 3. Food was mediocre. 4. Ownerspent the entire time YELLING ""get on the list"" to anyone walking in the door. It was obnoxious. 5.

A neat old diner that opens early, closes in the afternoon. We have had many good burgers and hot turkey sandwiches here. One of the waitresses here has always been friendly and a great server. One of the other waitresses...not. And I think the owner needs to learn to smile. Today we walked in at 1:40 p.m.. Closing time is 2:00 p.m.. There were four or five tables with people in various stages of their meal. Hubby asked as we walked in, ""Are we coming in too late"". The good waitress says, ""Oh No, come on in!"". We quickly ordered, since we know what we wanted, and had only water to drink. As we sat there, one or two tables finished and left. I saw two meals come out of the kitchen and delivered to a couple of men. At about three minutes to 2:00 they went over and flipped the open to closed on the door. Our lunch got delivered, and I had to ask for a couple of condiments that usually get delivered to your table on an order of ""hamburgers"" They got delivered to the table, no one asked if we wanted more water...or if our lunch was ok. Now get this...they started vacuuming with a LOUD vacuum. Nice touch to us starting our sandwiches! Then when she stopped vacuuming to go into the back for something, an older man, who was either a coowner or waiting for one of the workers to get off work, let out a racist rant on jay walkers! Something about so many of them get ran over because they look just like a shadow! No kidding, we are eating our lunch, and this guy just let it out! Then the waitress came back and started up old faithful and the noise started up again! We were gulping our food down this whole time, as we felt pressured to get done. Again, no one asked how are meal was, or if they could get us anything else. When we got up to pay, with cash the waitress said the cash register was taken into the back, and went back to get our change. We left feeling like we were unwanted guests, got horrible service, and were very upset about the racist joke that was told. I feel like NEVER going back, and will not recommend this place any more. The main thing here is this; We ASKED if we were coming in too late. Twenty minutes before they were to close. THEY said come on in. The vacuum should have not been ran while we were eating, the racist needs to shut his mouth, and the waitress needs to do her job, and serve us like customers...not intruders." +Restaurant,Date of visit: May 2017,United States,Pennsylvania PA,Bedford,"Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania",I can't believe that there is STILL racism in 2017!!,"My hubby and I are actually still in this situation. I am in the diner, writing this review. That's how bad it is.My hubby and I heard about the great food at this diner.. and the fact that this was the spot that the locals hung out.We stepped in the door, and that was the first problem. The, 'locals' were STARRING at us, as if we were a science experiment! As we stood there waiting to be seated, several waitresses, buzzed by us. Finally, a woman quickly, 'cleaned' a table. She walked by us saying, ""You can sit there.."" and pointed to the table. Which still has sticky stuff on it.As we made our way to the table, in this tiny, box of a restaurant, the locals never took their eyes off of us! Trying to make it uncomfortable for us. Every move we made, all eyes were on us. I was afraid to order anything like eggs or bacon, thinking that they may do something to our food, and advised my husband to get something that was like, bread or pancakes. We didn't drink the water, and ordered pancakes and potatoes. Overall, the food was okay, and our waitress, who incedently, tried to be nice, was probably the kindest one there. It took Ages to get our food, and seconds to get the check. If you are visiting the Bedford PA area, and you are a race, other than Caucasian, do yourself a favor, eat somewhere else.

After that it was all down hill. we had a server that had no idea what she was doing, didn't offer us any specials or. cocktails. It took us 15 minutes to receive our drinks and another 20 for our apps. half of the table entrees were cold and my father in laws steak was prepared well done after he requested medium rare. the whole time we were swatting away flies. very Unappetizing. We ended up boxing our food and weren't even offered desserts. to put the cherry on top of a horrible evening the bathrooms were horrendous.

However, they called many parties over head saying smith party of 3, Baxter party of 2, Christmas party of 3, Bell party of 4. So we basically were targets of racism last night. I was furious. If it was not for a hungry child I would have left. Food was mediocre. I am a nurse and I do not like shrimp and was not asked about allergies in which I had a small child. Children are prone to food allergies from shell fish. The cook cooked the vegetables with the ship again but never asked about seafood allergies. Reckless of a restaurant not to ask.

As we approached the building, the bouncer stated id and it would be 5 dollar to get in. As we were both getting our id, the bouncee asked my fiance to pull his shirt up. We were just thinking maybe he didnt want to frisk him. My fiance complied and did what he asked for. Then the guy stated since his pants were pulled down slightly below from his waist that he wasnt allowed to go in. Now mind you, their several other males with their pants not properly placed on his hip. He was utterly rude and I have never seen such hypocrisy in my life. The sad thing this is when I went to another bar the bartender which is a Caucasian lady asked me where did my fiance and I come from I told her what occurred. She stated she wasnt shocked bc it happened to one of her girlfriend. Apparently she was wearing tights and wasnt permitted to come in but yet a young Caucasian lady after her was wearing the same attire and she was capable of going in.

We were beyond disappointed, to the point where we split the bill and I'm having my birthday meal elsewhere! By far the worst thing about the restaurant is Nick. Within five minutes he had managed to alienate us both with several sexist comments and some offensive language. He gave us two menus, dinner and 'comfort/light supper' and we went to the garden for a drink and to decide whether we actually wanted to eat here or not. It was a special occasion so we persevered. I ordered from the expensive dinner menu, my partner ordered fish pie from the other menu still 18. At this point Nick said 'oh, you've gone for the Jewish option', which we can only interpret at a serious racial slur about ordering from the 'cheap' menu. This is not ok, Nick. So perhaps we were sickened to the point of losing our appetite, but the food itself was woefully average and massively overpriced. My hake was completely tasteless, rubbery and overcooked; everything was bland and unseasoned, with no freshness or flair whatsoever. Very disappointing given the price. Our meal was rudely interrupted by Nick, who banged loudly on the back of the pew we were seated at. Think of an overexcited Nigel Farage as an especially unfunny Basil Faulty, serving tea in a care home and you'll get the picture.

After 10 minutes of being yelled at, the man threw his plate with the incorrect slice on the floor. The owner then demanded the family leave the cafe immediately and told them she had called the police. The family had to take their whole table of food packed away in napkins. The owner and half the staff stood and watched as they packed, intimidating and humiliating the family.

But it was obvious it came from his beard . He said it was a long black kinky hair , That is a sign of racism so .... yes I had a mixed.

When I got there with my friends the server asked what we wanted to order but then interrupted us midway saying ""If you are not gonna order you have to leave."" We thought that was rude to be greeted that way but we ordered food and drinks.When we got the food she handed it to us and then told us to move our cars to the employee parking because she's trying to make money. We weren't even given a chance to eat our food there and she was making us leave or move, it was outrageously rude. We were the only ones that were told to leave or move. I felt that this was the most racist thing she said out of the whole experience. So if you're looking for poor service and a place where they give you service based on your skin color do come here.The staff has a Bchy attitude when it comes to serving their customers and will avoid this place at all costs. I also felt that this extremely rude server was being blatantly racist. How do I know this My friends and I were the only nonwhite customers the time and were also the only customers being treated in this manner.

First when we went in no one greeted us so we sat ourselves. Later discovered the greeter/waitress was at the front but did not greet us. After a while I went and asked if there was a waiter to help and an employee says, ""Oh yeah people usually wait to be seated"" and goes and gets menus. We wait again an extended time so another couple comes in, was seated and waited on. So we get up to leave and I ask for a manager, who is at the front with the greeter, who immediately turns her back when she sees us coming that way, and explain that we had not been waited on and we notice others have come in and been waited on. He immediately apologizes and says he will wait on us right now. All the while the greeter is now staring at us. My daughter decides that she really wants sushi and we sit at the bar. I now notice the waitress is openly staring and other waiters are now passing by. The restaurant in very extremely small and we were the only 2 African Americans there, so we could not have been overlooked in the beginning, and now it appeared that we were the center of attention. I told my daughter that we should leave because apparently no one else wanted to wait on us so the manager had to do it." +Restaurant,Date of visit: December 2018,United States,Texas TX,Round Rock,unknown,Racism in full effect!,"Sorely disappointed in my first experience back to this bar after a year or more of being vegan. I, specifically, came out for wings with sauce on side I hate wet wings that I use to enjoy here. The first order of wings came out with nickelsize white spots on a couple wings. The skin looked and felt like it still raw those spots. I told Clairen, the bartender, they were not done and asked if they could be cooked longer. She apologized and took them back. My wings came back and I was prepared to enjoy. However, the first wing I opened was extensively pink inside not just next to the bone. I again informed Clairen the wings were not done and showed her the pink wing. She apologized and said she would have them prepared again while I continued to eat my cheesesticks. Turns out only the two wings with the white spots were recooked from the first order. While waiting for the correction, a man whom I assumed to be a manager came over to me, but instead of apologizing for the problems he proceeded to tell me that wings being pink inside are normal and not an indication of rawness but how wings are. I pointed to the wings showing him the pink meat, the soft, wet skin and the toughness of uncooked meat and told him no fried wing that was done would present like this. He continued to explain and I asked him to just cook my wings longer. Instead of him following my request he continued to lecture me about wings, calling me ""girl"" at various points, and telling me I didn't have the Christmas spirit. I asked him to quit explaining to me and just bring me wings that were done. I informed him I was offended by him calling me a girl as I am a grown woman and asked him to quit calling me girl. He continued to repeat himself about the wings and tell me I had the wrong spirit. I asked him to just bring me wings that were done whatever he needed to do to them. He continued to repeat himself about wings being pink. At that point, I asked him to quit talking to me because I came here to relax with wings and a drink, asked him to bring me an order of wings that were done, told him I would no longer engage with him and turned away from him to reengage in the game I was watching. He continued to stand over me lecturing me about wings, antagonized me about ""my spirit"" and canceled/refused to place my order since I would no longer engage with him. As a Black woman, I am very familiar with individual acts of racism like this one, and I am more than disappointed with his blatant racist behavior. Even the White patrons next to me at the bar sat with their mouth gaping open at his behavior. but did not step in to say anything about his behavior Some say I should have expected it knowing I was the only Black person in the restaurant besides the waitress Kim and knowing the culture of Round Rock, but I guess my hope for an antiracist world keeps me engaging. I still have hope but I will no longer patronize The Rock Sports Bar and will encourage my multiracial friends and colleagues to not spend their money there either until The Rock intentionally works to become an antiracist organization." +Restaurant,Date of visit: April 2019,United States,Texas TX,Sachse,unknown,To the guy that claimed racism,"House is racist.

Sad how in the post Obama era people are still finding racists under every rock. A couple of things cool about Tiger's win. He won The Masters once again. That club until recently did not allow minorities to play there. Today a multiculteral man won it yet again, and dare I say, had a white caddy. Oh my. What would really top it off is if Tiger has one of those white jockeys on the side of his driveway. Cheers to Tiger and The Ice House.

She simply walked by us time after time and ignored us. Stood at the bar doing nothing and continued to ignore us. After 10 minutes of waiting we left which I'm assuming was what she wanted anyway. I have a friend who goes there all the time who gets served promptly but if this particular waitress doesn't know who you are or your not a hot guy or not in a group you won't be served if she's waiting tables. For the persons who thought it was racism I can understand why you would think that I would too if I were you but that likely has nothing to do with it because she does the same thing to us white folks. It's the same girl treatment many others have been complaining about on FB Trip Advisor. She's just a horrible waitress with a bad attitude and should be replaced or hidden in the back away from the customers. Bottom line, she doesn't care if you or I come in or not. I don't know if she's part of ownership, management or related to them but she should definitely NOT be a waitress. I won't go back there again always encourage the group to go somewhere else when it comes up. It's such a tiny little place they really don't care if there is only a handful of people in there anyway and clearly she doesn't need the customers or money. And when you are being ignored....everyone see's it because it's such a small place. It's embarrassing once you figure out you are not wanted there therefore will get no service from her.

But yesterday 12/17/2016 I had a racist discrimination by a female white waiter. The male waiter was a true gentleman. He served us with class but at around 11:30 pm only the female waiter was left. She was not that busy but she never cared to serve us. So we decided to pay our bill and leave. Everyone else got a waiter wallet but she just dropped a paper bill on us. Despite this I tipped 20. But the waiter never picked up our final receipt which was right there but picked up the wallets of everyone else. I could see her looking at the receipt. Finally, I had enough, I took the receipt with me so she missed her 5 tip. If you have issues serving people of color, choose another career where you can a choice.

Same treatment continued with her food not turning up for about 30 minutes then not been cleared away then she had to ask 3 times for bill. Eventually she went to the till where the waitress was on her mobile. This lady was black African and in our opinion dealt with this treatment with great dignity.

Twice she browses over my shoulder and ask others if they were served and while totally snubbing us. We got off the queue in shock and walked away from the restaurant. At the exit, we bumped into my motherinlaw that was supposed to meet us for lunch. We told her our horrible treatment at the queue but she said that we couldn't walk away and that we must confront them about their behaviour. We went back and asked for the manager but when we told her about our treatment, she didn't even listen to our complaint and just jumped and said that her the manager was married to a Black Man and no one was racist in her Pub. So a word of advice, as for myself, I will never set my foot in that routine place. Because the manager herself is a racist for backing racism of her own staff. Its a shame really to see such a thing in a close community.Ps. Yes and this was probably our 15th visit in the place, cause we've been going there for over a year. And as for this racist female staff, this was the first time I've ever seen her on the counter serving people but that not the point here!

My hamburger steak was good, mashed potatoes fine, biscuits and cornbread nice, and the green beans had so much bacon fat in them that they couldn't help being delicious my guess about the bacon fat I could be wrong.....This is homestyle cooking without any attention to health, so overall tasty, but left me feeling like I shouldn't eat anything else for days. Our waiter was very pleasant and prompt with some things, but not with others. The two people who brought our food did not know which of our meals was medium rare vs well done, so they guessed and got it wrong. It was awkward to switch partway through the meal, so neither of us got what we'd actually wanted. This was my first Cracker Barrel experience, but we were with some locals who indicated this was not the best one they have been to. I posted a picture to FaceBook and had a friend suggest I check some news stories. I quickly found stories throughout the chains of racism, sexism and political support of very conservative causes that infringe on basic human rights. So, their gift store got none of my money despite some cute selections and I will not be going back. This location is very close to a number of motels and food options. If you don't mind the politics and fairly heavy food, it's not a bad choice, but there are other options available." +Restaurant,Date of visit: August 2018,United States,Washington WA,Burien,unknown,Bad Customer Service Racism,"I love the food here. The staff is really friendly but the owner who is really rude and racist. The owner was the cooker the day we visit the restaurant and he refused to served my meal in a plate because base on his judgment my bowl have too much food and instead of serve it in a plate like they do to everybody else, he served it on a box to go. I usually get one bowl and share it with my girlfriend witch is enough for both of us. Is not the first time we fill up the plate like many other customers who put as much as possible on a single bowl, I even had seen people taking mountains of food wich its fine because you can put as much as you can in a bowl but in this case, I believe base on racism the owner scolded me saying that I took too much food and he wont serve it in a plate and to end up the bad experience he told me if two people want to eat you have to pay for two plates no for one. He burned almost half of the noodles on the grill so we dont get all the noodles we got on our bowl. After me other customers got similar bowls but most of them were white people and Asians, I am Hispanic and I believe thats why he acted that way.

We entered this Dennys restaurant around 10:30 a.m. on Sunday morning, August 26, 2018. The place was over half empty with at least a dozen open tables. I told the hostess that we'd like a table for 2. I was told there was a 45 minute wait for a table. When I asked why, I told that the kitchen was behind and that we would have to wait 45 minutes for a table. So we left to find a different place to eat. While I was looking for a different restaurant on my cell phone, another couple went into the restaurant. Evidently there was seating for them, but not for us.

When I was told that I couldn't be served the first time due to an equipment failure, I innocently took it at face value.70 full. Sign in, and wait to be seated...15 minutes pass, without so much as an acknowledgement that we exist. Had the restaurant been busy, or even just large, I could understand. Had it been understaffed, again, I could understand. Instead, we were treated like we were invisible. There were about 15 customers, and at least 5 staff in the front of house. We didn't receive so much as a glance.I now understand how it felt to be black during segregation. They really need a ""No Whites Served Here"" sign. As a long time resident of Hawaii, I have experienced racism against Caucasians occasionally. Never as blatant as it was here, however. To act as if we don't even exist To refuse to seat us, with empty tables everywhere The Filipino family that came in after we had been ignored for 15 minutes was greeted warmly, and it was only then that I realized what was actually happening. I had assumed that most people in society at least attempt to hide their racism. And I've never experienced it from an entire business before, but there was no denying what happened.As we left, I made sure to thank the staff. Loudly. Repeatedly. From the front of the restaurant. Every one of the customers heard me, of that I'm sure. Not one staff member, even those within 10 feet of me, even turned their head to acknowledge my simple ""thank you!"".If you are Filipino, you may enjoy this restaurant. I will never know, nor will any of the visitors that I entertain.If you want to know what racism really feels like, if you don't understand the term ""white privilege"", I recommend this place.

I would suggest trying them.I normally avoid leaving bad reviews for a place that I only visit one time. I like to give the benefit of the doubt. The cook may have called in sick, equipment may have broken down, there are myriad reasons why a restaurant can have an off night.

At some point these types of reviews will outweigh the positive reviews which this establishment does not deserve. Despite having a diner in the facility who had just been served, the doors being unlocked and the place looked open. I was told in a very condescending manner the restaurant was closed. Hours on the door stated they closed at 10...it was 9:58, so I thought I would see if I could get a quick to go order. Nowhere do it say last seating at ""x"" time or kitchen closes at ""x"" which leads me to believe you are fully open up and until the closing time. And given that they would have to wait at least the 20 minutes for those sitting down eating to finish before close they could have at least considered a to go order. The kicker was the racist/classist manager who assumed, that I as Black woman was looking for a handout.

When a young black male was seated at the counter next to my daughter and myself, he was left seated waiting for a menu for over 15 minutes while servers continued to walk past him and ignore him. This was unlike the prompt service that I received. When the young man then walked up to the cash register to directly request a receipt he was finally handed a menu. Thereafter he again sat unattended for another 15 minutes while all servers ignored him at the counter and never offered to take his order. This was again unlike the prompt service I received sitting right next to him at the counter. The young man then politely asked the manager whether all the servers went on break at the same time and she brusquely replied that everyone was busy and he would have to wait despite all the servers walking right past him at the counter and their attentive service to me and my daughter sitting right next to him. After receiving the clear message that his patronage was not welcome the young man left. So despite the good service my daughter and I received I left with a terrible experience at IHOP. Since then I searched the web and have found that there is a pattern of complaints of biased customer service. Clearly the IHOP employees and franchisees need more training on the laws of equal treatment.

Sorry guys" +Restaurant,Date of visit: June 2017,United States,Massachusetts MA,Boston,"Chicago, Illinois",Only thing served well is racism,"I will start this review with a general assessment of the venue. The rooftop was recently renovated. There is a 30 cover charge that is not worth the price. Cmon this rooftop lacks the vibe found in Vegas or Miami and I have never paid a cover at those locations.The servers are very pleasant but lack the fundamental skills in, wellbeing a server. Too long to greet after being seated, too long to deliver drinks, too disorganized, and they cant be found when you are ready to close out. Now, lets move on to what led me to write this review. I will start with a quote from a comedian on SNL about Boston the most racist city Ive ever been to, this was not unfounded during my interaction with an employee of the Revere Rooftop. It began with a brash communication from an unidentified manno uniform, no name tagabout being in reserve seats although there was no sign and the hostess said the seating is first come/first serve when asked. This man then said we could continue to sit for a time. During our second encounter, he said that the party arrived and was harsher than before with unnecessary comments. When I asked if he worked for the hotel or if he was a promoter, just to have clarification, the man became aggressive in approach and tone by saying do you have a problem with how I am handling thingsWith that response, I did not want to escalate the situation so I decided it was best to remain quiet, close our tab and avoid communication with this individual. Unfortunately, he didnt stop thereThis man approached us four more times and in one instance pointed to my husband and said he lied to me about the hostess saying it was first come/first serve. The statement was unprofessional, unnecessary and lacked simple logicI mean really who would lie about something so trivial especially when we asked to close out after our second abrasive encounter with him. It was clear that this person felt comfortable being disrespectful to customers and felt comfortable being disrespectful to AfricanAmericans. Oh and I neglected to mention, there were two separate parties sitting in the other reserved seat, which would round out the three reserved spots that he mentioned to us. The other patrons were not addressed at all by this man.Despite Bostons negative reputation, I honestly did not expect to have such an experience at what should be an upscale hotel venue.

I asked for two menus but he mocked me this table is busy, move He said it in a really rude tone so I said Im sorry, I asked two waiters and they say it was fine I dont care, move, I need you to moveNow, I didnt have any problem waiting in line or anything, like I say the place is amazing, but the way he as asking and the tone he was using was just really rude and mean.I try to tell him again that it wasnt my intention to cause trouble but I got kinda nervous and I started to have trouble with my english and my accent, so I was trying to make a coherent phrase when he laughed.By this point I wasnt at the table anymore and as I tried to speak he kept stopping me and repeating that the table was occupied, that he had like 20 people waiting and I just couldnt get there and sit. Like I said, he also started to laugh as I struggled to explain and just had this mocking expression, as if he didnt understand me.My friend came and she asked if there was a problem, I told her what was going on and the guy went away. I basically spend the visit crying in the bathroom and then crying as I we waited the food to go, i dont remember who told me he was the manager or someone like that he wasnt a waiter, but then when he tried to talk to me again I called him out, I told him that I made a mistake and that he didnt have any right to treat me that way, but he just kept the mocking face.It really sucks that someone can give you such and awful experience and the fact that I still remember it crystal clear months after.Like I say, I love the place, the food is amazing and Ill definitely be back, i just hate the fact that they dont have a better costumer service.

Yesterday, I came in about 10:45, ordered a coffee and a bagel, waited for a friend. When he came a Hasidic guy, in traditional Jewish clothing he ordered a coffee. They brought the check without bringing his coffee, though we hadn't said we were leaving. It was under the 10 minimum something like 7. I left 13 and we asked again for the second coffee.It was about 12:30. The owner/manager comes back immediately enraged, no diplomacy, no attempt to speak to us as people, shouting ""you've been here since nine in the morning."" He ignored me every time I asked him why he would say that, so deliberately, so confidently, when he saw me come in just before 11. He tells us my friend needs to order more. I say that he keeps kosher, and that's all he can eat. The man says: ""Then this isn't the place for you.""He said: ""you are an embarrassment."" Because I left a 100 tip on a small bill Or because of our ethnicities mine far more ""passing"", my friend's far more obvious I should say: the place was 2/3 empty the entire time we were there, perhaps halffull at the max. This place is an embarrassment. A place that hides old fashioned racism under the more fashionable prejudice, that a person is only ""worth"" what they spend on a given day. Sure, they forgot how much I really have given them, how often I've eaten their stale toast and cardboard eggs just to be in ""blastfromthepast"" New York. But they're stuck far further in the past than I ever knew and I don't want to ever go back." +Restaurant,Date of visit: September 2016,United States,Louisiana LA,New Orleans,"London, United Kingdom",Incompetence or racism,"The name plaque says 'restaurant,' so I was taken aback when the server simply gave me my food in a takeaway bag.

We've been having side eyes all evening long not only from the waitresses who were acting as if we were non existent and some customers who looked like this was the first time ever for them to see a black person.

There has always been some tension between Japanese and Chinese cultures, but I was surprised to see the racism that occurred this week. We went with a group of friends, all of whom were white I myself am middle eastern and we were so excited to experience this restaurant for our friend's birthday as we are sushi buffs. Our waitress Emma took all our orders, brought back drinks for everyone, but conveniently forgot my husband's ginger beer we didn't think much of it, figuring she was just busy or something. However, everyone at the table ordered their sushi, including us. We ordered the Love Boat for two, and our waitress wrote down the order in front of us. As the food for everyone else came out, she assured us that our food was on its way. After half an hour, I tried to say ""Excuse Me"" as she walked by, but I was ignored by her. Afterwards, we flagged her down and she said ""Oh you never ordered anything!"". Kind of ridiculous when we had been told our order was on its way and everyone at our table heard her say it. She asked us if we still wanted the order and we said yes. The sushi was ok, but not incredible and at first she wanted to put it into bowls instead of on the boat. We still tipped about 10, but it was terrible to be discriminated against in this manner due to me and my husband's skin tone when EVERYONE else in the restaurant had received their food except us.

Being Indians we are used to being looked down upon at numerous places in likes of Australia , England and the States . However Feeling the same in Bali was a little shocker . The Place : Excellent setting , great ambiance , and decor . However they don't have ample seating and every place is not airy . On Special nights it might just get a little cluttered . The Drinks : Regular beers or house liquor are fairly priced . However if you want a table you need to pick up a bottle which is 3 times the price elsewhere . RIPOFF. Nevertheless less the bartenders have a great attitude of not listening to you or serving what you want . Don't expect fancy cocktails . The Food : extremely undercooked or overcooked . Not too much of a food joint it is . The Evening : We walked into the fancy restaurant , much to our delight there was no cover charge and the lady at the front with the bouncers were very polite to let enter. The great ambiance and the wonderful setup looked as if we were surely in some spanish era. There wasn't much crowd , mostly groups and they were scattered everywhere . The DJ was playing Top40 . We were seated with a couple of beers for myself and a drink for my lady in a seating outside when a waiter/ server came and very rudely asked my wife and myself to leave the table for a group of 4 . This was quite the unexpected and since then everything feeling started going downhill . we walked to the bar counter and waited to order , the bartender looked at us a few times but didn't come to take our order ... i took an IDR50000 and placed it in the TIP box , making myself sure to be seen by the bartender , who zoom past the other customers and came to take my order .

I read many comments about this place being racist, but I'm Indonesian and they always let me in, either when I'm with my foreigner friends or local.

I did see them 'hushing' away some local Indonesian males. I went there again on Sat night, no mercy this time. They didn't accept anyone Asian, only white people, saying there must be a prior reservation yeah, right!. They should have told all Idonesians BEFORE they started queuing that they would only take white people in that night. They instead let all of us, Indonesians got in the line, making their establishment look more 'festive' and interesting from the outside. Very dishonest and cunning. Btw, they rejected all who look Asian Chinese Malayan Indonesians.

This is not a onetime incident by any means.I went on Saturday with a few friends, a mixed group of foreigners and Indonesians. It was still early when we arrived, around 10pm, so there wasn't a line yet. However, security still looked us up and down, counted how many of us were foreigners 3 foreign, but only 2 with white skin, and 3 Indonesians then asked us if we were planning to buy a bottle. We said no, but that we were planning on drinking. We were allowed inside. 1 hour later 2 other friends of ours arrived. 1 Indonesian and 1 foreigner, however, they both are brownskinned. There was a line at this point so they waited and when they got to the front they were told they could not enter. First they were told it was because they were wearing sandals. Then they were told it was because they were not going to buy a bottle. Then they were asked where they were from and if they could speak English or Indonesian as if that matters. Two of us who were already inside the white foreigners went out to speak with security. We were told first it was about not buying a bottle, but we pointed out that we also did not buy a bottle and were allowed in. Also, surely not all of the people in line 100 were buying bottles, nor were they being asked. At this point my friends said they would just buy a bottle. Then the security's excuse was about the sandals again. I pointed out again, I was wearing sandals and almost every person in line was wearing sandals. Then we got silence from security and a 'sorry' head nod. After talking with 45 different security and complaining over and over that there was no valid reason for this they finally decided to let my friends in, but acted as if they were doing them a huge favor. It should be noted that we made a point to protest them in front of all the guests in line instead of quietly on the side like they wanted us to, and I suspect this is why they finally agreed, just for their image.Before and during this whole situation I saw multiple other Indonesian people getting the same treatment. Many were denied entry and told it was about buying bottles, their clothes, or given no reason at all. Meanwhile, every white foreigner in line was allowed in, no questions asked.

We were pretty upset and went aside to observe just to find out that they didn't ask nonasian customers that reservation question and let them in without issues, I asked the lady why she didn't ask the same question and she called the bouncers, oh c'mon. I have been traveling to more than 10 countries in the world and have never seen or heard a club entrance based on skin color. If you want, just write ""FOREIGNERS ONLY"" in your entrance so I don't even bother to spend my precious time goin there.Well, if you keep doin your business this way, I suggest you to take lots of pics of your place to reminisce good time, because one day you'll wake up and find out it isn't there no more." +Restaurant,Date of visit: June 2017,Asia,Indonesia,Bali,"Bali, Indonesia",Worst! ,"Worst!!!Racist local cant enter without reservation, wow but western easily without anything.

On my last visit, i witnessed group of local rejected being said they have no reservation right before I asked the bouncer if me and my friends could get into the club. The local bouncer asked me the popular query which if I had table reserved or not but before it's answered the foreign bouncer give us code with his hand saying ""just get in"", and suddenly reservation wasn't an issue anymore. It left us with question of what is exactly their door policyIs it just depends on the mood or whatSpeaking about quality of the place, I didnt feel the same vibe like what i've ever experienced 2 years ago. Music is not getting better, dj played more today's music than 90s hiphop or another old school playlist that I think makes this place even more attractive and unique in the beginning. The place is getting crowded with reckless drunken youngster and annoying bartenders that mocking my order, wtf. With racial issue and poor quality they have now, I sense they might couldnt keep their popularity for the next few years.

They will prevent them to enter and making stupid excuse while the westerner could enter it freely. Yikes!! I hate colonialism in my country, it's long gone. I would like to call their action as racism which blend perfectly with colonialism as they are making business, making money, hire Indonesian to work with them but how come they treat us that way. This is the worst treat that me and my friends ever get from a night club.price for the drinks actually is ok and it's standard price in Seminyak but they serve it with plastic glass. and despite their racism, I had dinner 2 times in here, the service was not great at all. I strongly not recommend this place, especially for Indonesian as they will treat you in bad way.

The place itself is fab, the location, decor and vibe as long as its before 9pm. This is the key point. If you go during the day/early evening its a wonderful place, if you go later in the evening it's terrible!!!During the day, the staff are friendly and attentive, the food is good and the drinks great. If i was rating it before 9pm it would be 5 out of 5. If you go after 9pm its a 0 out of 5. La Favela turns from a magical venue into a sess pit of curruption, racism, hookers, dodgy security and useless staff. One night we witnessed a group of 5 mid 20 something Australia girls, who were sat at an unreserved table just chatting, forcebly and rudely asked to vacate the table so a slutty looking local girl with an entourage of hangers on could sit there because it was 'reserved'. After a few minutes of discussions the girls had to get up and leave. The security guard then put the reserved sign on our table, whilst we were sat there and after 15 minutes asked us to move as it was 'reserved'. i told him that he had put the sign there 15 mins earlier. He pretended to not understand what i was saying and sent another 'security' guy over to speak to me. i told him the same thing. He asked me to move to which i refused. he seemed annoyed but left. Anothe rissue on a night is that the staff are useless. they cannot get drink orders right and are very reluctant to want to give you any change. Its such a shame that the management allow this place to be such polar opposites depending on what time you visit.Definitely go here but go during the day, avoid the evening at all costs, unless you like that sort of thing!!" +Restaurant,Date of visit: April 2016,Asia,Indonesia,Bali,"Jakarta, Indonesia",Racists,"Don't get me wrong, La Favela is a great place for going out in Bali, if you are white and can get in that is.

The first night me and my friends went to La Favela, the person in front of me in the line at the entrance, who was Indonesian, was told that the party was full and that he had to leave. Me and my friends being next in line and white were then let straight in. A couple of days later we decided to go back to La Favela, only this time I brought an Indonesian friend of mine. As a result, none of us were let in, since we were with my Indonesian friend. Considering that the club is located in Indonesia, and that we're in 2016, I find this almost unbelievable.

He did not ask an ID card nor how old I am and just simply rejected my visit.I dressed properly, I did not bring any beverages from outside, I was not yelling at anybody. And that was the treatment I got from La Favela.And just so you know, no caucasian were asked an ID card to enter to know how old they are this is only for Indonesian or Asianlooking guests.This bar is potentially to be one of the best in town however, the stupid so sorry behaviour from the security guard ruins everything.

Oh man, what a place, what a night! When we walked in around ten pm, the first thing we noticed was the decor. Amazing interiors, very rich lighting and very classy. The dinner tables were still on and had a great lounge setting. Come midnight, the entire place turned into a night club. Great music and the crowd was fantastic. My only complaint was that we had a table for 8 and the staff suddenly came up to us after two hours of us sitting on the table and ordering drinks, food etc., and told us that the table was reserved for some Italians. I find it hard that they have a table reserved at two am for a bunch of people. I also found this to be extremely racist. We spent more more than any one can imagine that night and the staff needs to be respectful enough to know that racism is a thing of the past.

The inside is beautiful and you feel like you are in the 1920s or so. The decorator must have had a special eye for details. You can't make a phone because what you see can't be captured in a photo. Impressive! We decided to sit outside where there were a few ponds and a small way to walk through a small garden with nice palms and full green plants. Deciding where to sit is the hardest decision because every spot has his ups. We ordered ginger beer and lime juice for drinks. I was a bit disappointed cause the lime juice was just water with lime. No creamy juice from a blender. We ordered a wrap and a risotto. Both nice, well cooked. There could have been more spices on it, but that's a question of preference. The quality was good.After reading so many comments about racist attitudes from the staff I had a awkward feeling while I was sitting there. I think it is really bad for a restaurant/pub/ bar when there were guests who experienced things like that.

Little did I know about La Favella's extremely racist practices, letting overseas tourists through without so much as looking at any sort of ID, while putting locals through TSAesque interrogation. Even with ID's present, it seemed that the owner's son was at the front door he made his ""position"" very clear as the ""boss"" and he would be damned if any locals were allowed in the club. He mentioned how it's ""Indonesians like you that always cause trouble."" Excuse me What country does he think he's in He put my friend through the works, mentioning to his security guard just how much he wanted to slap her for standing up for her friends. He even said, ""If you showed me some respect, I might have considered letting you in."" What kind of respect do you expect from the customer that you just offended We asked how old he was, and he said he was 18 years old. He looked so young I just had to asked him if it was legal for him to be there and work in a night club, and that's when he said ""Actually, I'm the son of the owner, so I can do whatever I want"".Whatever, kid, I'll take my business to a place that understands that locals are people too." +Restaurant,Date of visit: August 2015,Asia,Indonesia,Bali,"Bali, Indonesia",BAD EXPERIENCE,"Me and the girls were visiting La favela on the 1st august.. they made the locals stayed outside and let the foreigners entered the club, When we asked to the bouncer why we cant get in they said :""Ini bisnis kita, mau2 kita dong masukin siapa"" in the most rude way ever.

Upon arriving to the door, I watched as the security guards pondered excuses to deny my boyfriend and his friend entry. This notion made me weary but against my better judgement we all proceeded inside. We walked through a somewhat congested crowd and chose to stand near the back door on the dance floor. This area was positioned right below a VIP area. After about 5 minutes of being in this area my boyfriend and I felt something being dripped on us. We both looked up and my boyfriend caught the eye of a gentleman and his girlfriend hovering above us in the VIP section. The guy apologized and we left it at that, no hard feelings. A few moments later, his girlfriend, who was obviously intoxicated started to get hostile. She was yelling and pointing, and of course being in a loud nightclub I couldn't make out her words. My boyfriend made eye contact with her boyfriend again and said ""calm your girlfriend down"". His demeanor was firm, but not threatening or argumentative. At that moment his girlfriend threw her entire cup of alcohol in my face from above. I stood there in dismay, barely able to clear my burning eyes. Immediately after my friends and I were swarmed with security guards yelling and screaming in our faces. I was pleading with the security guards and asking them why they were handling the situation in that manner. I said ""please explain to me why you are throwing me out like this"". One guard yelled to me ""we don't want you in here"", another couldn't mutter a reason why. The guards and officers continued to yell, swarm me, and push me out the door. Mind you, I'm 5'2"" and 125 lbs. Politely asking me to leave would have been just fine. Of course, after being covered in alcohol I wanted to leave, but I just didn't understand why such force and dramatic antics were used. The people in VIP who were white, were not asked to leave or treated the way we were. Once outside, my boyfriend and I began questioning the antics and asked to speak with the owner.

I explained to him that I didn't necessarily need a table but really just a bottle of liquor to avoid going to the crowded bar. The Cavs just won the NBA Finals, it was packed He still declined to let me in. I stepped to the side and watched them deny every single black person that walked to the door. Literally every single person of color. The people were denied for whatever reason came to the mind of security at the moment. ""Your hat is too low,"" ""You shorts have too many pockets,"" etc ..... All of this aside, I would not go as far as to call them racist until I witnessed with my very own eyes a white girl with holes in her jeans be granted access. I stepped to the front and said to the owner, ""aside from race, what makes her different from me Her jeans have holes but she can come in"" he then waved the police over and had Officer Michael Ryan ask me to leave. I explained to the Officer that I was on public property and could stand on the sidewalk. After a bit of back and forth with the Officer and the owner, I decided that even if they changed their minds I did not want to spend my money in place with such a discriminatory ""dress code policy.""

I was on the guest list and I was walking behind my group and got in by myself. I am an Asian female and didn't experience any racism or anyone turning their nose up at me. But I guess I was making a lot of effort with my ""natural"" makeup and I was wearing a dress that was fitted and not revealing and I guess elegant. Of course it's not fair that some people were not allowed in. Maybe the dress code should be more clearly stated on the website Also if they were mean on the door before their policy has clearly changed. The door people, cloakroom staff and bar staff were polite and pleasant. I guess they just don't want hen dos and the like. That's fair enough. When you get in all I can say is wow! Beautiful club, gorgeous men, everyone looks amazing and the music is good. There are plenty of spit and sawdust pubs can't we have one or two places where people make an effort to look nice and it isn't full of people who are so drunk that they collapse in a heap outside when leaving the club" +Restaurant,Date of visit: April 2014,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,unknown,DO NOT GO HERE!! RACIST NOT HIDING IT!!,"Do not go to this club! Seriously one of the worst clubs I have ever been too. Talk about taking pretentious to a whole new level! The door woman was rude and racist, despite the fact that we were a mixed group, she suddenly became very selective of who could come in. Pointing fingers and saying you, you not you was disgusting. She couldn't actually say it's because members of your party are black/mixed raced/Asian. It then changed to only guys in suits and girls in trousers, there was no clear reason as to why all of our group could not enter. Eventually thanks to one of the promoters the rest of our group was allowed entry despite being outside for 45 minutes. Upon entering the club I was shocked to find it had about 20 SMALL 'V.I.P' tables that could only sit five people crammed into the space provided. Looking around I could see why the door woman was selective and racist, as the only 'ethnic' minority in there were Brazilian people. Despite the fact that we had paid for a table we were treated like dirt in there and the service was appalling. I would not recommend this place to anyone that is of an ethnic minority as you will be made to feel as though you are lower than dirt if you are not Brazilian or white. London has so many good bars and is an amazing place to go out and this club completely lets it down 100. Members of my group who are white including myself were so unhappy with the blatant racism that they left after an hour. The rest of us soon followed suit and they were only to happy to refund our table. Which just goes to show how disgusting this place really is.

The Girlie with clip board greets me with smile or I call the manager whom does.Door policy It has a number of women Sloane types or Wantabees on the door. They are particular to say the least. I dont think they are racists but they are definitely prejudice. If you dont fit into a certain look, they can very catty. If the guys are not their cup of tea Essex wide boys, Northerns, not a blazer mayfair boy , loud americans or don't look like your in arts and celeb, seems the list goes on and on then they can be very assy indeed, rejection and waiting can be the norm. The clubs, I go to are more exclusive than Cuckcoo if you are not a member you simply cant come in, the service is excellent theres no need for the Wannabees to be subjective. This is not that type of club. So yes, one has to be a bit Cuckoo to go to Cuckoo haha.

Where as my friend and I were alone.Now call it what you must but if you are white, you will never understand where I am coming from, that woman was racist, accept it and move on. I read an interview by a woman, Daisy Payne, who is a door picker and she said no 'unattractive people' can be let in. That is not even a possibility because my friend and I looked flawless, dressed hot, wore heels and this woman did not even ask to see what was underneath our coats, she just sent us away.Daisy Payne also went on to say she was picked as a door bouncer because she is 'tall and blonde'. Now, I don't have to tell you there's a limit to races with blonde hair, you do that research for yourselves. I even saw people give money sometimes but I refuse to give money to a racist club to let me in after first rejected. They must pay them poorly to have that such stuck up attitudes.

Perhaps I was lucky not to receive that kind of treatment since I was with a local Swiss man I'm Singaporean Chinese. They weren't explicitly rude or anything, but just did not seem as happy to serve the couple as they did us.

And if you like risotto, don't order potatoes as a side or the proprietor will tell you you're wrong for liking those two things and ask you if you learned that in China, because your parents are from somewhere in Asia and all Asian looking people are Chinese and unsuited for this restaurant.

I had heard the Swiss were particular and apt to get mad at you for small things; but this restaurant takes it to a whole new level . First of all, I think it may be the owner that took our order if so; he does not know what customer service or even being mildly polite is. Two in our party tried to order a large pasta to share that was not allowed. Then to order tap water we were told there was a charge of 2.50 Euro pretty ridiculous. But what really put the whole negative experience over the edge was when one of our group who happened to be of asian decent said they didn't want water or anything to drink, his response was, ""Where did you learn that from Asia"" I cannot believe how rude he was and the entire experience was offputting. His tone was snarky and made you feel like you were an annoying inconvenience being in the restaurant. The food was pretty mediocre as well. I ordered the seafood salad which was drowning in dressing and when I asked for butter or oil for my bread, the server said they would get some never brought anything to the table. The whole evening really put a damper on our Switzerland experience. Do not go to this restaurant; you will be sorely disappointed and deeply insulted in the process.

The servant wasn't any near us only him.. Then we raised our hand and ask him for citro a drink there with a word ""please"". He said ""I am the boss here.. I can't take your order.

HE JUST USED IT FOR THE BOTTLEOkay, fine so my Dad was already frustrated and he wanted to leave but we had already waited 30 minutes for our food. We decided to stay. When the second waiter came around with two plates One pasta, One risotto, he asked as any normal person would, who is the pasta for Before any of us could even answer, he just threw the plates down on the table. FINE, if you're having a bad day, I'll let you have your win. But no, the two tables beside us who were white and could speak french were treated like royalty. The waiters would wait and communicate with them, compliment etc. I'm not even asking for you to tell me I'm the most beautiful person in the world but at least acknowledge that our difference is only the tones of our skin. Continually, they would shun from our table, they would not accede to our simple requests eg. asking for condiments, asking for the bill When we received the bill, to our horror, they charged us for the water!! My dad signalled for one of the waiters to come over and he told him that he did not want to pay for 1/4 of the water that the previous waiter did not even replace/apologise for. The waiter did not apologise and waved his hand in front of my Dad's face saying , ""If you're unhappy about water, I give you new one, if you can't pay no one is gonna pay for you so you better pay."" He interrupted my Dad in his speech and came down with a filled bottle. My Dad paid and just responded to the waiter that is wasn't even about the water to which the waiter scoffed. So this is a summary NO APOLOGY NEW BOTTLE OF WATER W.o.w The entire time, I felt like I was being treated like some degenerative waste of the earth that I wasn't worthy of the same level of interaction as the deemed superiors which was utter nonsense.

Confused by this, asked why, the security said the manager had told them I needed to step outside. I was baffled by this and I asked the security if he had the right person and since he was talking to me he could take the measure of me, did I seem drunk or disorderly and he replied No, but the manger has told me and I have to do it The security said I just need to go outside for a bit then It would be ok to come back in, to which I replied Even though you can see Im not Drunk to which he relied I know but Ive been told At that point I and several of my party decided I would rather leave then have me be put on the Naughty Step when I hadnt done anything to warrant it.Previous to the incident with me, the manager had sent the security to escort another member of our company to get her stuff and leave with no explanation given. Its hard not to think the management wasnt expressing some kind of racial profiling or bias in who he was removing from the club when the drunk group of loud girls chanting at me and my partner to kiss, the guy aggressively punching the air or the guy who rolled up his t shirt to show off his nipples while dancing all seemed to escape the attention of the eagle eyed manager but yet seemed to be cherry picking the people present with ethnic backgrounds to find offence with, who his own staff at least in my case expressed didnt think warranted removal.

So, 2 ugly Moscow mule 4 ugly draft beers 6,400 yen. We decided to stay there because of the music but after having heard Japanese laughing and speaking very laudling during all the time and that only to me they told me to speak quietlier to me only and realise to be the only foreign believe me, the first time in my like, it is quite disgusting.In short, I only deserve some kind of karma for this racist people.And please, please, go to another please, Japonese people are in general much much better than people ruling this bar for us, these people have been the black sheeps in our marvellous trip in this great country." +Restaurant,Date of visit: March 2018,Asia,Japan,Kanto,"Tokyo, Japan",Avoid this place unless you like being treated like vermin,"I went with some friends to Bar Martha. We were continually interrupted every 10 minutes by rude, racist and verbally aggressive staff. We were constantly being watched and told to keep our 'English voices down'. They kicked us out for no valid reason whatsoever and a departing comment of 'go back to your own country' after we paid the bill. There are much better bars in Tokyo with better value, service and acceptance of foreigners. This is one place to stay well clear of." +Restaurant,Date of visit: March 2018,Asia,Japan,Kanto,"Boca Raton, Florida",Just like home!,"I have seen many reviews slamming this amazing Tokyo bar. Claims of ""racism"" against American tourists abound. However, the experience of myself and my friends couldn't have been more pleasant. We loved it so much, we went back three times during our stay! Tokyo can be a vast, cold city, but Bar Martha felt just like our local bar, ""Judy's Twin Pines"" in Rhinelander, Wisconsin... the only thing missing were the cheese curds! : The Budweiser was served ice cold in cans, just like back home! They gave us free bar mix that was crunchy and salty!... and the sliders were outstanding. I tried my friend's nachos and they were as good as the nachos I get at Chilis. My understanding is this place used to pride itself on being a little pretentious, playing only vinyl records and making sure people didn't talk or laugh too loudly. Perhaps there are new owners, as we were pleased to find they allowed patrons to take turns plugging in their iPhones to supply the music. There were two couples from Cleveland whose playlist included Bon Jovi and Donna Summer... but when ""Sweet Caroline"" came on, the entire bar joined in to sing the chorus, ""Bah, Bah, Bah!"" with gusto! On our last night, my friend Ruth brought her mom who had two glasses of Chardonnay and got a little tipsy. The bowtied bartender was so sweet. He made room for us at the bar by asking a few Japanese patrons to please stand so my friend's elderly mom could sit. He even made her some coffee and gave her a package of Oyster Crackers. We did notice a lot of Japanese people come in and leave, but the tiny place got crowded with a large tour group from Texas who arrived in an orange bus. In short, if you are tired of crazy food, raw fish and crowds of people speaking Japanese... and are looking for a place that feels like home, this is it! Please try the guacamole and tri color tortilla chips... and if Evan or Jennifer are working the bar, please tell them ""The Wisconsin Six"" say, ""You betcha!""Delete review" +Restaurant,Date of visit: February 2018,Asia,Japan,Kanto,Melbourne,Never again,Incredibly racist and rude staff who should hang their heads in shame.

Avoid at all costs. +Restaurant,Date of visit: January 2018,Asia,Japan,Kanto,"Tokyo, Japan",In hope that this place closes down,"As per every other review, this place is terrible. The staff are beyond rude with absolutely no manners and an absolute disgrace with no concept of what customer service is. Furthermore the racism experienced here for not being Japanese was atrocious. I've read the review about the girls being told the leave Japan. It's disgusting that people still go and give them business.My friend was told to move from a chair by the supposed DJ. I hope that this place doesn't remain in business for long." +Restaurant,Date of visit: October 2017,Asia,Japan,Kanto,"Johannesburg, South Africa","Racist, rude, pretentious. Do not visit.","Why go to bar Martha when there are much better bars in Tokyo that also dont have racist and rude staff It was two friends and me. We had caught the cab over from nogizaka specifically to visit this place. I had heard the rumors about staff that will tell you to be quiet so I was prepared for that. However, I wasnt prepared for outright racism. Note that my friend and I are both half Japanese Im a Japanese citizen. We were speaking Japanese. For a place that builds its reputation for how quiet it is I was surprised to go in to find that it was definitely a normal sounding bar. So then when they made us wait at first in the corner, I felt we could just talk like normal human beings out on a Friday night. Straight away, one guy came over to tell us to shut up. We were not being loud or belligerent in anyway, simply having a conversation as other guests were. We ordered drinks. We never got them. Five minutes in and the guys came over once again and this time to tell us to leave the place. We were shocked. It turned racist. I pointed out that Im japanese, born in japan. As he opened the door to shoo us out he said, yes please leave Japan. I have never been treated so badly at a bar before we had even got our drinks!! The place itself is so average, so its just pretentious of them to act this way. Dont bother visiting this place. Theres a ton of other great bars in Tokyo. We went to Bar Trench afterwards to recover, and the staff were great to us. Absolute never again for Bar Martha. " +Restaurant,Date of visit: November 2016,Asia,Japan,Kanto,unknown,Rudest staff I've ever encountered,"I don't generally like to go out of my way to give something a purely negative review. But I feel that my horrible experience at Bar Martha last night warrants one.I live in Tokyo and had heard about Martha from several people over the years, but only got around to checking it out earlier this year with some friends visiting from overseas. The first time I went I thought the staff were a bit pompous and rude. As above reviews point out, there is an absolutely NO photos policy, as well as a very strict standard for what constitutes being ""noisy"". My friends and I were literally just talking and at one point one of us laughed, I think, and it triggered a member of staff to tell us to quiet down. I brushed that off and decided, ""OK, that's just Bar Martha. Keep the noise down and enjoy the tunes."" That was merely a foreshadowing of the horrendous experience I had there last night when I took a local friend. She had never been and we were in the area so I proposed checking it out. My friend did laugh somewhat loudly at one point and they did the standard Martha thing and asked her to quiet down. I explained to her that they were strict about noise and she understood, though agreed that it was overkill. But that was nothing compared to what came next. For some reason I had the idea that customers could request songs or something along those lines. Curious about this, I casually approached the DJ booth to ask him what the system was for music. I asked in Japanese, which I speak pretty well though not fluently, and then followed up with a little English just to be sure I had clearly asked my question when he simply stared no, GLARED back at me. This is when things went into full meltdown mode. The DJ became irate, as if I had disrespected one of his deceased family members or something, and said in an extremely cross tone that ""This is Japan. You do NOT use English."" Etc. Then, when I tried talking things down he requested for staff to literally throw my friend and I out. The bar tenders uniformly GLARED at me and robotically said through plastic, passiveaggressive grins, ""Please go. JUST GO."" Wagging their heads up and down in affirmation. I tried asking several times, ""What did I do wrong Wait, what did I do wrong"", trying to diffuse the situation. But to no avail.My friend, a native Japanese speaker, also tried to ask what we did wrong and they were just downright hostile. They told us to leave in no uncertain terms, in front of a crowded bar. If I wasn't in utter shock I would have felt extremely embarrassed on top of disrespected. When we got outside, my friend tried to reason with one of the staff, who simply kept repeating, ""This is Japan."" etc. and giving no real clear idea of what we actually did ""wrong"". I've lived in Japan for almost eight years total. I don't normally like to complain about treatment of foreigners here because I realize I'm a guest in their country. And generally, the standard of service here is worldclass. But I'm sorry to say that the feeling I had was genuinely one of being treated in a completely racist manner. After we walked away, my friend was literally crying. This gives some indication of how extreme the treatment was. Hands down, it was the worst I've ever been treated by the staff of a bar or restaurant. If you are a diehard music lover and simply MUST go to Martha while in Tokyo, please consider yourself forewarned. There are lots of other great bars to listen to music in Tokyo. Please don't give this one your business unless you like being treated with thinly veiled contempt by racist, selfimportant staff who may literally tell you to shut up or even kick you out for doing nothing more than raising your voice a few decibels above a normal conversational level or God forbid, if you laugh." +Restaurant,Date of visit: March 2018,Europe,United Kingdom UK,Scotland,unknown,Aggressive and disgusting owner,"Popped into the cafe today and there was a barrage of abuse witnessed. The owner clearly has some issues mentally. Screaming and shouting at two young gentlemen, swearing at them. He then proceeded to to call one of them tubby and told him to F off for being English. He then proceeded to get off his chair and try and square upto the two gents. The food was terrible and the owner clearly doesnt have a clue what hes doing. Frankly he deserves to lose his business. Hes racist, sexist, not very funny and his loneliness is very clear when he has to try and entertain with his in appropriate Jokes. No one deserves this kind of service..." +Restaurant,Date of visit: January 2018,Europe,United Kingdom UK,Scotland,unknown,This place will ruin your day,"Washing and drying is overpriced 15 pounds for a single load, express wash and dry and drying takes much longer than more commercial dryers. The set up means that if you're waiting for your washing, you wait in the Cafe area where you're not allowed to eat your own snacks and drink out of your water bottle despite probably paying much more than the cafeonly patrons. Finlay was friendly, but we were made to feel really uncomfortable and patronised by the older owner who has a very misguided, racist and condescending 'sense of humour', so we eventually left with our slightly damp clothes in hand. Completely unimpressed by this awful service and definitely wouldn't recommend to other young travellers." +Restaurant,Date of visit: January 2018,Europe,United Kingdom UK,Scotland,"Inverkeilor, United Kingdom",Not advised !,"Finlay was lying on the sofa at the shop door, in the middle of an online conversation, was harangued by his Dad for not getting up to serve us despite being busy.Unfortunately that left us at the mercy of his father and his strange sense of humour! After commenting on my partners hair and insultingly misjudging his age, he eventually took our order while commenting on every item. My partner has some difficulty hearing at times and the man spoke fast and did not appreciate being asked to repeat anything. He did not seem to like that we didnt find his jokes funny. He asked where we were from and commented on that then asked why we were in Edinburgh. When told that we were there for a gig, began putting down the people who went to gigs in the Queens Hall, commenting on their age, dress and style. He started to make racist and antiEnglish comments. Definitely not a place to go for a quiet or fast bite to eat. I finished my cup of tea a cup with teabag floating in it well before my food arrived.Now the food, I ordered a quiche which was probably the worse specimen of its kind that I have ever eaten! It was blasted in a microwave before it came to me so soggy pastry, too much cheese on top and bland strange textured content..My partner had a microwaved baked potato with a cholesterol intense pile of cheese melted into it He had tried to ask which fillings were available but the man seemed to want him to order cheese, only belatedly mentioning beans or tuna! He the started commenting on my partners choice of drink, announcing to everyone in the shop, that he must be watching his weight, as he had ordered diet Iran Bru!!Possibly the worse cafe in Edinburgh, definitely a bad decision to make!Racist, sexist, xenophobic chauvinist with a misguided sense of humour!

The former recognised us as English and targeted us as ""Brexit landers"" just after we'd entered the shop and proceeded to make a show us to his colleague. We felt so uncomfortable with the poor taste joke that we had to leave; suffice to say that we will never be going back here again. What a shame!" +Restaurant,Date of visit: January 2017,Europe,United Kingdom UK,Scotland,"Edinburgh, United Kingdom",PLEASE NEVER AGAIN,"Unfortunately, it appears many customers have had similar experiences to me. I went in to buy some herbal tea on my way home and was met by the owner's frankly racist and illiberal comments. When asked where I was from, he laughed, rang a bell on the counter and shouted inappropriate, politically myopic and ruthlessly sexist remarks.This was met by jeers and claps from others perhaps staff in the cafe.Humiliated and shamed, I hurried timidly out, kicking myself for not speaking up in the moment. I like to support local business, but without doubt, will never be going back." +Restaurant,Date of visit: November 2016,Europe,United Kingdom UK,Scotland,unknown,Racist Alert! ,"First of all, I am a person who laughs at a joke on myself but what I experienced wasn't even close! I was wearing an Indian suit, and just as I entered the store, the guy looks like Scottish from the counter asks me if I was dancing Bhangra a dance style from India. I smiled at that comment and then picked up few stuffs from the store and went to the counter and then he said that a lot of brown ladies come into the store. I smiled, said ok and while waiting to be served, he spoke to me in Punjabi, when I told him I don't know the language come on, there are more than 22 official languages in India, he put me to shame by saying that I should be knowing the language he spoke. I spoke to someone else waiting for their coffee and he commented something about my accent. I was cool all this while and waited to get out of the store as soon as possible, that's when the next one followed. He asked me not to marry an Indian Hindu guy and that they were all liars. I am already married to one and I smiled and told him that's it was too late and that I was married to one already. And finally when he said he gets to flirt with all the brown ladies coming into the store mention of colour again, I confronted him that I might have to report his behaviour being racist. He laughed about it and then read aloud my full name from my debit card, peeped when I was typing my PIN number and announced the start of the PIN number. Totally humiliated, shamed by the service! And finally, he decided to serve hot chocolate instead of coffee as I asked for cold coffee, managed to come up with something which was Terrible. There were lumps of chocolate powder here and there and tasted pathetic. He asked me to come again by the day so that I can see the owner dunno if he was the owner, and that I will know why the brown ladies keep coming the the store.

This isn't the worst part either. One of these young ladies went to the counter to ask for the check and was nearly yelled at and told that the check would be brought to them. The waitress then began to say nasty, racist things to a Germanspeaking couple at the table next to us I speak the language. This waitress was dressed very inappropriately as well.

We were shocked and had not experienced this rudeness previously during our travels. We were unsure of the reason considering the restaurant was empty bar two tables of guests but after reading other traveller reviews realised it was secondary to racism. How very disappointing to see this degree of racism and lack of education I this day and age.

It is in Spanish and it basically translate to: Israelis that dont accept to live in peace with Palestinians are not allowed here. Maybe I am a little slow, but I dont think this statement is racist nor antiSemitic, to me it seems to promote peace, I guess the people upset about it are in favor of war and decided to call the guy racist to get back at him.

I'd lived in the area for a decade, had heard good things about the Hoagie Ranch, but somehow managed to never visit. That was my loss. The Hoagie Ranch is by far my favorite place to eat!We stop in for lunch a couple times a week and for dinner a couple times a month. It's extremely hard to have a favorite, but if pressed, I'd claim the Rueben...or the John Wayne...wait...the Bonanza Burger! My wife appreciates the home made soups!The spaghetti dinner special is great as is the home made lasagna but the steaks on Friday night truly shine. It's amazing what Jim can do with a sirloin steak. They are always perfectly trimmed and expertly cooked. This is the best sirloin steak you will ever have!As fine as the table fare is at the Hoagie Ranch that really isn't why we go there so often. We go because of the atmosphere created by Jim and Jan. The decor is a fascinating throw back to my childhood and beyond, peppered with collectibles and western paraphernalia. It's a warm, homelike ambiance. Jim and Jan are the Hoagie Ranch. Honestly, it angers me to read some of the reviews making false claims of racism or rudeness. I guess that's the nature of the Internet and the time in which we live. Jim and Jan are extremely nice people who truly care about their business, their customers and their extremely loyal staff. You really need to meet them...I know they would love to meet you!The sign out front ought to say, ""Caution! Eating here can be habit forming!""

We could only guess that possibly they could smell alcohol on our breath had 2 beers at dinner each or overdressed wearing a long sleeve shirt with a collar after dinner. Apparently being dressed too well is a thing in BerlinNormally we would have cut our losses and never though twice about returning to a business that treats its customers with such contempt, but on the advice of another friend we regrettably decided to give this place a second chance a few days later. Our return appearance to Club Der Visionaire featured two young travellers, stone cold sober and dressed in jeans and a tshirt to gain access to such a fine establishment. I might have been living out Groundhog Day because we got denied entry in the same rude, dismissive obnoxious manner for a second time. After polite enquiry as to the reason for denying my friend and I entry, the simple response was given by the senior bouncer who was a tall, skinny and angry gentleman of Aryan appearance saying ""We do not want your kind here"". Reading some of the other posts here it has become apparent that there is a clear racist judging criteria for who is allowed entry to this joint.

I arrived in Berlin at 11pm on Friday night and around 2am me and my friend headed to CDV. As we approached the door, with no queues whatsoever, the bearded bouncer simply yelled no. Feeling a little embarrassed, we made our way out.No biggie we thought. We'll come tomorrow night. And so we did. We went on Saturday night. We waited in the queue for about 1.5 hours only to be told by the same guy, sorry guys not tonight.Such was our 'respect' for this place that we decided to pay it a visit on Sunday afternoon. So once again, we waited in the queue and finally made it to the door. A different guy this time gave us a long look and started speaking to us in German. I told him sorry man we don't speak German. He said sorry guys you can't come in and looked the other way. He was in no mood for any confrontation. I feel perplexed by the whole incident.

We were not even allowed to sit near the window as those tables were 'reserved'. Multiple people walked into the bar after us and were allowed to sit near the window and enjoy the view even though they did not have any reservations.

So by 23:10 we were already there at the door but they still couldnt let us in. We asked for a valid reason but the blond girl came with a stinky attitude and said that theyre busy and not taking walkings. A short guy came and said the same. Unfortunately none of them had name badges and so one cant even identify them by their names which is also not a hotel standard. All staff should have name badges on. So we decided to stand there and as we were watching everyone else who was coming was being asked if they had a reservation and they could say no and to our surprise they were being let in! So we wondered was it because we were two black ladies or whats the reason This was total discrimination and intimidating. You shouldnt treat people like that or judge them by their race or looks! The blond woman with a British accent and that short guy seem racist as shouldnt be in a hospitality industry.Something should be done cos this is a total mess. Who rolls their eyes on guests and looking at them from head to toe like she owns the place. And even her way of talking is just so disgusting, no smile,very rude and making one look so small.

Was not very busy. Im writing this review as Im leaving the restaurant, feeling extremely discriminated by the two male servers working the outside seating area.After ordering, no water or bread was served. Water and bread was seen on every table except ours. Asked the maleserver for his assistance and was shooed by hand gestures. He proceeds to take other tables orders and cleaning tables.Shortly, I caught another male servers attention after he sat a group of four down. His smile immediately turned upside down when I called for his assistant asking for water. He aggressively placed a bottle of water on our table. This same man processed our bill. After charging my credit card, slammed it on the table. Unacceptable. If you do not want to serve me, please say so before sitting me down. Although the food was pretty good, I feel robbed. Spent money on a restaurant and people who gave me zero respect. I definitely did not have to eat there, and most definitely will not be returning. " +Restaurant,Date of visit: January 2018,Europe,France,IledeFrance,"Hong Kong, China",Nice mussels but waiters were being racist and didn't care,"It was the second time I went to Leon De Bruxelles. Last time was 5 years ago and service was soso even I went at nonpeak hours. The mussels there were really good so I decided to give it another try this time. I went at dinner rush hour this evening and the restaurant was obviously half empty so I was expecting to have at least soso service from the staffs.I have greeted, believed to be the manager politely but he's ignored us and kept looking around the restaurant, apparently he wasn't busy but just didn't want to serve us. Some French came in to the restaurant afterwards and he's served them a table immediately. So I waited for like few more minutes and they still didn't get back to us.After greeting him politely for one more time into his face ""excuse me, there's the two of us and we are coming for dinner"" he was kinda rude and just yelled at one of the waiters and asked him to serve us a table.Why did I mention they mainly just the manager were being racist, was that they squeezed us into the worst, smallest table in the restaurant. Believe it was a space just barely fits in 3 tables for a group of six. The restaurant was still half empty by that time and I didn't get why they didn't get us a better seat.I had only like 15cm of space to the next table and I had to squeeze inside. Later on the manager proactively asked the 4 French customers next to us to change to another table. I didn't realize it was a change on purpose until like 10 minutes later, a pair of French couples came in and the waitress appointed them to the table next to us. The manager yelled at the waitress immediately and asked the French change to another seat again.The waiter who served us was friendly and the food was good. We ordered one originals set meal and one more pot of Brussels, plus two large beers.But I couldn't tolerate the racist actions from the manager at all. Seriously I felt bad about the table changing act, he waited until the customers got seated and proactively asked them to move to another seat like we have virus with usAcknowledging both of us were Asian from Hong Kong, I wondered if I am really looking or acting that bad and normal to be that racist I was staying silent most of the time and just chatted very occasionally and I believed I had good table manner after all. I was really disappointed and regretted of revisiting this restaurant. It truly ruined my night!" +Restaurant,Date of visit: March 2017,Europe,France,IledeFrance,unknown,Terrible service!!,"This week I had my 3rd time visit at this restaurant with my colleagues, but had a terrible experience due to bad service. After reviewing the menu, we called a midaged waitress for ordering the meal. Since we did not quite understand her words with strong French accent so asked her politely, but she lost her patience immediately and gave us the attitude. What shocked us more is that we did not even finish the order but she just went away from our table, refusing to take our order. Then we had no choice but to ask other waiter for the order, and the waiter was also pretty passive in action. During our meal, we asked the same lady for some empty plates, she said okay but let us wait more than 5 minutes and never came back. I am not sure if the waiters treat us like this because we are Asians who cannot speak French. Honestly I think the food is quite nice and I really love the mussels, but the terrible service experience truly ruined my day. I had bad feelings like we are treated with racism here, very sad. :" +Restaurant,Date of visit: December 2015,Europe,France,IledeFrance,unknown,Atrocious service. Avoid at all costs,"My family and I decided to try this restaurant one evening. Service was shockingly poor. We had to wait 25 minutes to get seated despite lots of empty tables symptomatic of the lackadaisical and shoddy attitude of the staff. After being seated, waiters with nothing to do refused to take our orders. It took so much effort to call for a waiter who rudely told us that we minimally needed to order one main per person. Having tolerated enough poor service for the night, we walked out. The service here is ghastly. I will never return and never recommend this place to anyone. Further, the staff needs to undergo serious retraining and the French service sector a significant restructuring if there is any hope for the French economy.Also, there were slight racial undertones that I sincerely hope are misplaced beliefs.

We walked in, there was no greeting, I was almost run over by a waiter several times. I finally asked about the seating options and was told that you seat yourself. There were people already waiting so you had to fight for a table or sit outside and it was 65 degrees out. I finally got a table and sat down and was given dirty looks. I asked several times for menus and was told to wait, eventually I got menus thrown at me LITERALLY and that's when I decided to leave. We were a mixed race party and were definitely treated differently from the moment we entered the door.

They were looking forward to a great family outing taking their two toddlers there for pizza after a trip to Oatland Island. They arrived about 3pm on a slow Friday 3/5/13. Many empty tables, but some people there. They walked out. The reason is no one addressed them, and when they tried to seat themselves, they were told ""you can't sit there"". They moved to another area. Again, ""you can't sit there"". No one told them where to sit, or acted if they were welcome. They stood and waited, and waited. Again, no staff seemed interested in this family being there, so, they left disappointed. I personally am embarrased at the lack of customer service having recommended. Moreover, they felt as if it could be racial as they were the only black family there. For this, I believe the place needs to say otherwise and apologize, or gain a reputation of intolerance.

She mentioned loudly that she was tired and the place was closed but she could make them items to go.

I told her she was rude and asked why she was pleasant to white people who came after closing time. She ignored me.

I chose to go to Excet because there was no queue at the entrance. Excet is a nightclub located in Vasagatan 52, Gothenburg, Sweden.The clubs doorkeeper refused me entry, his excuse was that i am over the age of 28. I politely reminded him that age discrimination is forbidden in Sweden. He then changed tactic and accused me of being drunk and aggressive, suddenly a group of guards gathered by the entrance so I went to a policeman standing nearby to complain. The policeman wasnt surprised and keenly encouraged me not to waste my time and money on this nightclub.Excet had some issues in the past with regard to racism, I was hoping they have learned from their past mistakes. Unfortunately they didnt change attitude, they only changed tactics. When they see you have a dark skin, they tend to use your age to get rid of you and when they fail, they will accuse you of being drunk and aggressive, then call a good number of guards on you. These guards are rude and aggressive.So if you want to drink a beer in Excet in the year of 2013, that is 68 years after the Holocaust, you must fulfill these 2 conditions:1 You must have a white skin.2 You must be under the age of 28.Needless to say that racism and age discrimination are punishable under Swedish law." +Restaurant,Date of visit: October 2016,Europe,France,IledeFrance,"Mumbai, Maharashtra, India",Beaware Racist and Waste of Money!!!!!!!!!,"I wonder if they understand what Indian food is!

Naan It was just like a Tandoori Roti, fat though, I have eaten proper Naan in other restaurant in Paris.Coming to the staff, the moment I ordered a vegetarian dish he was like 'Pakistan mein to koi vegetarian nahi khata' nobody in Pakistan eats vegetarian food they were so freaking rude and racist.

He then stated that he didn't want to hear anything I had to say in a bad tone of voice. At this point I said, ""Whatever"" and got my friend out of there. He then screamed abuse at us at which point I found out she was banned from the lounge. I told him to ""shut up"" because he was upsetting her. He then said, ""You're black, you're black"" and started making derogatory gestures toward me.

I looked for a manager to complain but there was noone. If the manager wants to get in touch with me about what was said by his staff, I am happy to give details in the UK, I believe they would have broken the law. Two female staff, young, dark hair/dyed blonde. Giggling. You then get espresso in cardboard cup and a cake on a tinfoil tray, and try to find a seat and a clean table if you can. Appalling service.

And after scrolling through the reviews, I see I am not alone.I came here for dinner with my husband and another couple. It was our first night in Positano. My husband and I are from Sydney, Australia, though I was born in HK and, at our table, I was the only person of full Asian descent. Everything was going fine the food was lovely, the atmosphere was homely but nice. And then, towards the end of our meal, our waiter who I can only assume was the owner came out to chat to us. In the midst of the chatter, he proceeded to tell me that all Asians look the same to him, and he can never tell them apart. When I politely told him I thought he was wrong, he impressed his point by taking his index fingers to the outside corners of his eyes and said, ""yes, they all look like this"". We were all so stunned by this disgusting behaviour that we were speechless. I didn't want to make a scene, so just looked down at my food and he walked off chuckling.Not long after that we left, and on my way out I spoke to 2 younger women who ran the front of house. I told them what the man had said to me and that I was very offended. Astonishingly, one of the women simply shrugged her shoulders and said ""what's the problem, it's like if you said all Italians have big noses"". My husband then stepped in and assured her that no, it was not like that at all and in any event, entirely irrelevant as I didn't say that he was Italian and therefore had a big nose, and would never say that because it's a completely stupid thing to say. It was only after a 5min exchange along these lines that the other woman interjected and apologised but by then I was walking out the door.Absolutely disgusting.

Our faces and the fluency of the languages did not seem to get the message across, who nodded his head and wandered off. Precisely 5 minutes later, my husband asked a different waiting staff if we could have a baby chair and sit inside. The gentleman did not even bother to respond and walked past despite looking at us. The previous waiter went past and failed to acknowledge our presence. Precisely after additional 5 minutes, my husband went to the bar and this time asked what we needed to do to get an answer from them Another staff member responded we are busy, you have to wait. Despite the number of attempts to politely ask for the high chair and the terrace only being slightly busy it was 3:30 pmand the inside being almost empty, the very very competent staff delivered service excellence in the reverse order by completely racially profiling us.

However, the Midtown Drinkery thoroughly repulsed me last night with its complete and blatant DISCRIMINATION! Prior to going to the Midtown Drinkery, we called to find out if guys could wear shorts. The answer was yes. When we arrived, the guys we were with had no problem getting in with shorts and flip flops. However, one of our friends had a friend come to meet him/us, and that friend was dressed nicely fashionable jeans, a nice button down shirt, very clean cut and a smart, successful young man to top it off. I asked why the friend was standing on the other side of the railing we were outside, and he said ""because they won't let me in...they said my jeans were too baggy."" After the initial, jawdropping shock, I proceeded to watch numerous people come into the bar wearing flipflops, baseball hats, tshirts, and the exact same type of jeans our friend was wearing if not more baggy. Anything less baggy, and our friend would have been wearing ""skinny"" jeans. Just as I have read in all the other reviews in here, the friend was ASIAN. Do we not live in one of the most diverse cities in the world Don't we have a thriving city filled with successful, educated individuals who should have the right to go out and be treated as equals Well, last night, this clearly was not the case. Not only did they turn the friend away, but our group of 6 walked out discarding drinks that were still full as we are not going to patronize a business that treats people like this. I confronted the door men/""bouncers"" whose shirts read ""Security"" and flatout told them they are racist and asked what was wrong with them, treating people like this in this day and age. When I confronted the caucasian man at the door in a suit possibly a manager who seemed to be the one making all of the decisions he refused to look me in the eye. He was clearly uncomfortable and had no words to respond to my accusation of them being racist. This place is losing business every night because of their behindthetimes ways.

Definitely not ""Aloha""...","I have never had to write such a strong negative review about a place.Just looking at the other reviews around TripAdvisor, you already have a pretty good picture of the obnoxious and arrogant venue that you can expect if you make the mistake of even considering this place for a night out.In my 26 years of living in the UAE, I have seen them all, from the ostentatious to the lowkey bar/clubs, but never have I seen such a fake, moneycrazed place.The front/door staff are racist, only let you in if you're willing to spend major , and are extremely rude. I went to Mahiki the 2nd day they opened, expecting a refreshing change from Barasti/Trader Vicks ie: Tropical cocktails without the salsa. It was all ""Please come in! Can I recommend you some cocktails"" I took a seat at a table with a friend and we had a few cocktails. A month later, with another friend, we were denied entry under the pretext that we needed a reservation, yet ample amounts of women dressed like highclass escorts were allowed in.Figuring that the place was getting popular and all ""Dubai'ed"" up, we decided to opt for a table the next time around: ""Can't beat 'em, join'em right! WRONG!""When we got there, we booked a table, spent over 4000 Dhs 1,100 on drinks, and if not for the company of friends that I was in, it would have been a terrible night.Their socalled treasure chest is just a fancy gimmick for watered down juice, barely got us tipsy, the cocktails were horribly sweet they could learn a lot from Trader Vicks, the music was terribly loud, the smoke was very dense, but the worst part of it, the atmosphere just sucked.You can smell the ""fake"" from a mile away, Mahiki pretends to be something it's definitely not. They preach ""Aloha"" and pacific slang, yet probably could not point out Polynesia on a world map. When I wrote a similar complaint on their Facebook page, they deleted my comment. They're so full of themselves they can't even accept criticism. Just wannabes trying to milk the rich residents of Dubai for as long as possible.Good news, I've been here long enough, it wouldn't surprise me to see them change management soon enough, and eventually, they will close down.People of Dubai, tourists, fellow Tripadvisers, do NOT waste your time and money in Mahiki.It's a great city for a night out, and you'd much rather spent it somewhere else!" +Restaurant,Date of visit: March 2013,Middle East,United Arab Emirates,Emirate of Dubai,Dubai,"Obnoxious, Arrogant, Rude and Racist","The title, It all sums it up.

Immediately without the curt greeting or even a hello, he started barking abusive words such as ""Cheap"""" cheesy women trying to get free bees by manipulating the establishment. Now in his home country that will be ground for a reprimand. You do not talk to ladies and your customers like that. He then went on saying that he had full rights to kick us out and he will do so. This is without us even sitting down and ordering our first drinks. His attitude/tone was full of racial haltered. So we asked for his supervisor and that guy was even ruder and aggressive to the point of being physical. We have travelled all over the world and have never ever experienced such abusive behavior. Some of us have the could easily afford to buy a few rounds for all present , some of us are from the media and the legal profession. So this is not the last these morons hear from us.

This is a venue that should get tripadvisor to introduce a new rating, zero out of five as a minimum instead of one. And the suggested description for this zero rating One is ""terrible"", zero is ""Mahiki"". Well done Folks..This is a venue which has door policy, just like most of the clubs in Dubai. Preference is given to couples and ladies. If this does not apply to you or your group, then you need to book a table. No matter how regular you are. So far so good, and I do not have any complaint.The main problem with this venue is doormen. How can such spot keep everything under their control No matter how many times you visit booking a table, they do not recognize you at the door. Same Questions: Reservation Name Here are two incidents: We arrived once two guys at around 11PM. This time, we did not have a booking. It was an unplanned visit after our plans to travel for a weekend did not work out. First thing that came to mind was Mahiki. We tried getting in, however we were not allowed even though we were regulars. The manager could not help and kept it up to the doormen. I was disappointed and did not want to come back or book it in the future. My friend had a neutral feeling, that they do this to anyone. My feeling After reading the reviews here, I know better what's going on, and I tend to agree, there is racism.. unfortunately.. too bad.. we thought of your club as first option, and you do this to us... while some other clubs in Dubai recognize you as a regular and treat you well from the second if not first visit. Under pressure from my friend , we decided to come back, since we had some visitors from abroad, this time as a group of five guys and one girl. We had a booking, however, doormen tried to make execuses not to let us in. I called the manager however, the useless statement were offered by her "" Entry is at the discretion of doormen"" and ""you might not be the proper mix"". But we have a booking , you did not tell us on phone No good answer from her side. Aloha!!Again, how can they keep everything with doormen If there is no booking, I understand.. you need couples and ladies, However, you cannot let doormen turn down people even when they book. That's ridiculous..Whether they are aware of the doormen's practices or not, this is something I cannot know for sure, let's be fair. However, my feeling is that they tend to be selective when they are overbooked, and to be nice when they are not full Of course assuming you have a booking.Now, about the inside. I won't write much. It's not worth visiting if they spoil you night at entrance. Food: Nothing special about it compared to the prices. Drinks: I tried several mixes and I did not enjoy them, for example , the long Island was too heavy to drink and the worst in had worldwide London, New york , Arizona , Las Vegas, Milan , etc.. . With the ridiculous prices you charge, you ought to teach your bartenders how to mix drinks much better.Shame on you Mahiki. I am still arguing with my friend and fighting with him since he pressured me to come back. You really set the standards in terms of customer service, ie. the minimums!" +Restaurant,Date of visit: December 2018,Asia,Thailand,Chonburi Province,unknown,Extremely Racist,They did not allow me and my friend to come in by saying that Indians are not allowed.

We'll make sure Western men go right through the door, one dignified man at a time while their Bahraini friend is stranded outside!

One guy at a time. It's interesting to see this isn't only my experience, but that of many other Arabs in the review section below. This is clearcut discrimination on JJs manager's Siyana Koycheva part. I'll mention your name directly, because someone needs to feel accountable.On other cases, the bouncer tried to aggressively intimidate me when I 100 politely asked him to locate the door policy couldn't happen to locate it myself, neither could he for that matter, not to deny that it could be there. He'd invade my personal space and yell at me for that basic question, basically communicating that I should just compute that I'm not welcome. One time a bouncer allowed my female friend right in, while searching me he accused me of ""bringing along an escort"" just so I'd be allowed inside. An extremely insulting and degrading accusation, in my own country. When these issues are brought up, ones that Arabs exclusively experience, JJs Siyana Koycheva seems to always be more prepared to defend their bouncers than to listen to their Middle Eastern customers. Being the racist Siyana apparently is , she really couldn't give two shishkababs Unless she proves otherwise.After having a brief online discussion with JJs where I eventually suggested that I could send an anonymous team to record the incidents of discrimination that take place, they couldn't say a word in return because they are very well aware they'd be exposed if someone goes the extra mile to take such initiative." +Restaurant,Date of visit: January 2016,Middle East,Bahrain,Manama,"Manama, Bahrain",Racism is alive and well.,"We had a great time in this pub before, so we decided to stop by for a drink. When we arrived there was a group of South Asian men arguing with the bouncer, the bouncer kept telling them that it's couples night so they can't go in, then he changed his story to ""you have to pay for membership"".Eventually the group gave up and left and we were allowed entrance with no hassle. We inquired about the reason they were denied entrance but we were allowed to go in, they said that we can go in because we are a diverse group, we were also informed that it's their policy, as it's mentioned on a sign hanging on the wall....Mind you, the sign says cultural dress is not allowed and priority to mixed groups, those guys were not wearing any cultural clothes and yes, they weren't a mixed group, however; a group of men who looked different were allowed entrance without even speaking to the bouncer, so we were confused about why those men were singled out.JJ's, reading the reviews here and on TripAdvisor makes one believe that this wasn't an isolated incident, but a backwards and racially insensitive policy of admission. That incident just left a sour taste in my mouth, after that experience we decided to take our business to another pub with the name of Sherlock Holmes, where the band was amazing, food was great and staff was way friendlier and everybody is welcome." +Restaurant,Date of visit: September 2015,Middle East,Bahrain,Manama,"Orem, Utah",Great place if you don't mind racist admission policies,"Had some great times watching sports and unwinding at JJ's after arriving in Bahrain for work, but won't be going back after what happened last night. I'd been looking forward to watching the Liverpool / Manchester United match at JJ's, and invited a couple of work colleagues who were also supporters to join me. I wouldn't have if I'd known in advance they wouldn't be welcome there. The guy at the door said I could come in because I looked ""European"" but they could not because they didn't they are Indian and Sri Lankan, but were dressed the same as I was in jeans and golf shirt. In response to a message I sent JJ's on Facebook I was told the doorman was just doing his job, ""working according to the door policy which is framed at the entrance for everyone to see read it"". Mishmash. I would never support a business with such backward and racially insensitive policy, no matter how highly rated it may be." +Restaurant,Date of visit: April 2015,Middle East,Bahrain,Manama,"Calgary, Canada",Witnessed Overt Racism By Staff,"I am a white Canadian living in Bahrain for work with a Canadianbased company. Since I have been her I have made two local Bahraini friends. I enjoy pubs and had been to JJ's on other occaisions, so I suggested that we meet there for quiz night. I arrived earlier than my friends and waited at a table until I received a call from my friends saying that they were being denied entry. My friends, one of whom is arab and one of whom is Indian were not allowed in. When I asked why I had been permitted to enter, the boucer told my friends very very clearly, that ""english, americans"" are allowed, but ""arabs, indians, phillipinos need membership"". Needless to say, I paid for the drink I had ordered and left right away with my friends.The overt racism of the staff at JJs is referenced in a number of reviews on here and it is clear that nothing is being done to address it. I read another review in which a representative from JJ's replied stating that they have a clear dress code and that THAT was the reason his mate wearing a turban was not permitted. In my experience, there was no dress code mentioned and both of my friends were dressed in western attire. Presumably management condones the racism of the bouncers if it has persisted this long.I liked the atmosphere at JJs as it reminded me of the pubs at home, but such racism is unacceptable. I suggest that any Canadians looking for a Pub experience that does not exclude people try the Sherlock Holmes Pub in the Gulf Hotel, or really anywhere else. I know that that is what I will be doing and I will also be warning all of my Canadian coworkers to avoid this place as well." +Restaurant,Date of visit: January 2015,Middle East,Bahrain,Manama,United Kingdom,Only certain nationalities welcome,"I visited this pub with a group of friends with the intention of having food and to enjoy the atmosphere. But, I was very surprised that the security on the door refused one of our colleagues entrance into the pub. Various nationalities are allowed, but certain type of national dress is not. They do not allow entry to any person wearing a turban. I thought we lived in a world where we are trying to be peaceful and treat everyone as you would like to be treat yourself.

No Food was all he could say in English. For a second we were stunned as we saw other patrons being seated and served. I was about to point this out when a younger waitress came to us and tried to help us with the menu. I asked him who the older man was who at this point shook his head in an irritated way and limped away. The waiter let us know that the older man was the owner and I explained what happened earlier. He then tried to convince me that the restaurant was not racist and very inclusive of everyone. I told him that what the owner did earlier did not hold up to this notion of his. I told him that unless the older man apologizes, we will take our business elsewhere. The waiter said that unfortunately the owner was not going to apologize.

Although we usually prefer the Southern areas around Munchen and Berchtesgaden, we occasionally make it to Berlin. And when we do, Mutter Hoppe's is a mandatory stop. Although I haven't been there for about a year, my last visit was just as wonderful as the first. In short, if you are looking for authentic, traditional German cuisine, you can't do better than Mutter Hoppe's. I have read some posts by Asian visitors who claim the staff is prejudiced against them. Fortunately, I am white and, therefore, can't say with certainty that Asians are mistreated. I can, however, say, with absolute certainty, I never saw any of the staff being rude or disrespectful to anyone. To the contrary, they were extremely courteous and attentive to everyone. In addition, the comments by people alleging discrimination are highly questionable as they usually add claims accusing the restaurant of uncleanliness. Anyone, who has ever been to Germany, knows Germans are absolutely obsessed with cleanliness. The bathrooms in Germany rival operating rooms in their level of sterilization. Germans would never tolerate a dirty restaurant and I assure you Mutter Hoppe's is spotless.In the final analysis, I don't believe Mutter Hoppe's discriminates.

I immediately spit out and called the waiter for a solution. Surprisingly, not a single reaction and apologize from them but only promptly replacing my another ""half draught"" beer to me. Then I complained to their owner how they should deal with it, perhaps at least a oral ""sorry"" even works. Sadly, the owner I feel like rudely told us it is definitely not their fault and even asked me ""which Asian country are you come from You never met a fly going into your beer in your country"". I was breathtakingly shocked. I mean, what the hell and how dare they could speak out such obvious discrimination words as a service provider. This is your restaurant and you should at least responsible for your cleanliness on your food and environment. I tried to keep calm and polite, and told them to check my bill without that ""insect beer"". They agreed but sounded keep laughing at me in Germany from their reception desk.

I was yelled at by the waitress for not speaking English to her in a German restaurant. For clarification purposes, I am an Asian girl but English is my first language. After we finished our food, the waiter who spoke little to no English cleared our plates and offered us the receipt. We promptly put the money on the table next to the receipt. For the next 15 min, we tried catching the attention of the waiter and 2 waitresses but they seemed busy. The older waitress noticed us gesturing to the receipt and money and walked off, saying ""eine moment"". The younger waitress walked by and I asked her ""can we pay"", to which she sarcastically rebutted ""OH YOU CAN SPEAK"" Obviously affronted, I told her she shouldn't be rude to paying customers who have been waiting for at least 15 min to pay. She then proceeded to give me a lecture on how I ought to have spoken to her in English, when no one in this restaurant has spoken to us in more than a few basic words of English. In fact, I gestured to the bill with a smile quite a number of times which has gotten me through 3.5 months of patronising restaurants in Europe. This is the first time in my entire life that I have been chided by a service staff on how I should have requested for the bill in English to her in a German restaurant. What kind of service is this After being ignored we get yelled at I didn't want to pursue the quarrel anymore and I actually told her that I would like to just settle the bill and head out. She kept muttering about ""speaking English"" while she returned me the change, and as we took our belongings she kept speaking to the waiter in German. So petty and unbecoming of a service staff. Unsure if she is racist or just really rude, because there are previous reviews indicating racism and rudeness. Other incidents: We wanted to sit at a table as a group of 3 girls but the staff told us we can only sit at the bar. We offered to sit at a table with one chair and a bench as the tables are rather wide and there was ample space at least a metre between us and our neighbours such that we would not disturb them. We were told off by the waiter who said curtly ""2 people only"". We proceeded to the counter seats at the bar and ordered a dish each and two beers. The beers were slammed on our table such that the foam dribbled onto our table. Without even an apology or napkins provided, the waitress continued filling up another glass of beer. She used her ungloved, unwashed hand to wipe away the froth from the opening of the glass mind you, that's where we put our lips to drink from the glass and served it to another customer. The only mildly positive thing about this restaurant is that the food is palatable. Prices are not fantastic Berlin has cheaper food elsewhere and definitely, better service staff exist in this city. Do yourself a favour and don't subject yourself to such atrocities. " +Restaurant,Date of visit: September 2015,Europe,Germany,Berlin,unknown,Overrated.,"Racist for Asians.

" +Restaurant,Date of visit: February 2016,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,"London, United Kingdom",Go if you like staff who condone racist and antisocial behaviour,"Had a thoroughly disgusting experience in Connolly's today during the Chelsea/City game. I am a woman in her 30s of Oriental appearance and whilst waiting to be served, a group of 56 guys sat at the bar proceeded to say 'Ni hao' several times to me. Unfortunately a lot of people don't realise this but that is incredibly racist, ignorant and offensive. Disgusted by their behaviour I told them that they were being racist. They confirmed their lack of intelligence by questioning my statement. They probably also didn't even realise that their unsought for and unwanted attention directed at myself was harassment. I told them that they looked at the colour of my skin and ignorantly decided that I was Chinese rudely oblivious to the fact that I could be, for example, Thai, Japanese or Malay or English or French for that matter!, and their treatment of me with a sweeping generalisation was racist. I turned away to ask the bar lady for a drink and she insisted on knowing why I was upset, which I presumed was out of concern. I explained that the gentlemen a generous description had been racist. They then had the audacity to deny that any of them had said anything to me at all, including 'Ni hao' and I responded by telling them they should at least be man enough to admit what they said. Now, I understand that the bar can't be held responsible for the antisociable, disrespectful behaviour of their patrons. However, I couldn't believe it when the bar lady then proceeded to tell me that if I was going to be upset by that, then I should be the one to leave! In complete disbelief, I checked that I was hearing things correctly by restating that I'd been the one subjected to racist rhetoric and asking if she was suggesting that I should go, to which she responded affirmatively and then switched her attention to serve the person behind me!Even though I wasn't a victim to any aggressive or violent racist behaviour, that doesn't mean that how I was treated was acceptable, and condoning any level of that behaviour creates divisions and tensions in society. To be clear, I wouldn't have expected the pub to throw the group of men out because, to be fair, they weren't being abusive or violent, merely ignorant. But a decent human being would have told me to ignore them and then served me a drink. Instead she made me feel like the one in the wrong, the one making trouble. If that's the attitude of Connolly's staff, I would strongly recommend staying away from such a disgusting establishment that has no respect or care for people subjected to racist and antisocial behaviour." +Restaurant,Date of visit: June 2016,United States,Pennsylvania PA,Bucks County,unknown,BROWN PEOPLE BEWARE the owner is RACIST,"We bought a Groupon for my parents anniversary.

I was sitting in this restaurant with my wife and children, and I could constantly hear racial slurs, and many more offensive insults. These racial slurs mostly came from the kid who checks you in ""Alessio"", offending Blacks, Hispanics, and Jews.

We were unsure what the disagreement was about but we heard the man say he was going to wait until the police turned up. One of the members of staff approached our table and informed us that they were refusing the man and his wife entry because they had been in before and not paid previously. We thought this was fair enough until we overheard another member of staff say to the man 'no you specifically have never been in and not paid'. It turns out the man and woman were travellers. The police arrived and the man explained that he was being discriminated against because he was a traveller. Whilst the police were talking to the man and a few members of staff another member of staff approached our table again. She explained that they were not going to serve them because they hadn't paid before as the other member of staff had done. My partner asked if she meant that couple specifically and she said yes. To which my partner questioned why the male member of staff had said he'd never done it before. Her response to this was 'well travellers are all the same anyway aren't they'. Clear discrimination. What she didn't know and what made her ignorant comment so redundant was that my partner is actually a traveller. In complete shock, he responded, 'I've sat in here all night, paid, acted respectfully am I the same'. She laughed in his face and said 'well you're not a traveller are you'. Very humiliating and unjust that my partner has had to go through this tonight. Needless to say the police did absolutely nothing, even after my partner explained and then several of my family members explained what had happened, as witnesses. It truly saddens me that we live in a society where this discriminative behaviour is deemed acceptable.

I was in there tonight with my partner and her family for a childs birthday party. A young man and wife came in and the staff met them at the door and refused them service as they were an ethnic minority and they did not trust them. The young man was clearly insulted by the situation and the discussion was heated for a brief moment. The man calmed and called the police. In the meantime one staff member said that this young man had been in there before many times and caused no issues. When the police arrived they all said that this man and his wife had been in there many times without paying and the police escorted them outside. Moments later the manageress Of this restaurant approached our table to discuss what had happened and stated that the real reason they wont let them in is because They are all the same and we dont like them. They then denied saying this despite the fact that our entire table witnessed it. Horrible food. Horrible place and horrible, RACIST staff and owners.

In the end I asked for his name, and he declined to give it, first he said he doesn't care if I am a customer or Not, and he doesn't want to give his name. When he found out that I was serious, he became scared to talk and just ignored the situation and said need to give his name out. What a manager!

My 5 star rating is for it for the pub aspect. As a restaurant I would give it less but I don't really eat there. But the burgers are presented nicely, a friend of mine likes the hand made pies, and Chicken Wing Monday limitless buffet is cheap and popular. I think the chips/fries are oven chips.This is a nice, busy yet relaxed, unpretentious pub in a central location. It has a very large array of familiar drinks to choose from apart from Guinness. Check out times for Happy Hours, sometimes a pint costs as little as 5.50 CHF a real bargain in Switzerland. It won't win any prizes for haute cuisine, but the food looks good.This is a big pub with lots of seating. If you see the seating is reserved just check out the time slot, it may well be free for several hours. The place can look a bit dimly lit in the evenings but it has a nice happy, chatty atmosphere with a nice mix of Swiss and nonSwiss. As a fairly regular visitor for football or an evening rendezvous spot, I have not seen any trouble or fights in the Nelson pub. The music can be loud for some people when there is a DJ on Thursday to Saturday late evenings which I don't like but you get used to it after a while. Staff are quite friendly, patient and efficient, speaking German and English. If you want to get quicker service go to the serving hatch area near the entrance. It is a good place to watch sport ask staff and they will usually try to show your match if they can. Door staff are erm ... door staff so don't expect them to be friendly. I would like to say that a couple of reviewers have said this place's door staff can be racist. The door staff are not white guys. I am a white guy and I have been given the excuse in the past that I can't come in and needed a membership. But these times I was on my own, possibly already had a couple of drinks and the place was already very full with more men than women, It is frustrating but you can just go somewhere else or text your mates to talk to the door staff.

Then I called out to another older waiter who displayed dismissive and impatient attitude. He came over and said what's the problem can't you see I'm busy. We explained we had been waiting but no one appeared to want to take our order. The older waiter gave us another earful and said it's just 5 minutes and we've ruined his work. AT that moment we stood up and tried to leave. One other older waiter came and tried to stop us but the other impatient waiter still kept speaking rudely. We finally left. 5 minutes of waiting is acceptable in a busy restaurant but not when the restaurant is almost empty and the waiters were walking around.

Thanks. +Restaurant,Date of visit: May 2018,Europe,Malta,Island of Malta,"Leicester, United Kingdom",Don't bother unless you want to be treated poorly,"Went to visit this restaurant based on the great reviews I read.. but having been there now and seeing the last few reviews.. I agree the service was appalling and the lady who served us was very patronising. I think some of the comments about racism are true. If you are white/English I think you may get a better service. Also I noticed the restaurant are only responding to the good reviews on here.. wonder why! The only positive thing I can say is the vegetarian curry I had was fresh and full of nice spices. On the other side... the atmosphere was dead. Nothing there at all to promote a good restaurant vibe. Best word I can think of to describe this is 'akward' and 'uncomfortable'. The lady who served us was shocking. She was so patronising and rude. I've never experienced anything from a restaurant before. Everything we asked was a dig back! She poured us a Coke glass right in front of us from a 2lt bottle that you can get from a cash and carry or super market.. and then charge premium prices for a glass, from a bottle I know could be worth 12! The icing on the cake was when they mixed the vegetarian starters with meat. Whole point of ordering veggie food is to keep it separate from the meat. I'm a vegetarian and DO NOT eat meat at all, hence why ordering a veggie dish. I shouldn't have to explain this! Then the lady server had the nerve to say all you have to do is split the two and put another plate! After much debate she agreed to bring us a fresh plate of veggie food. What an unnecessary situation! They clearly did it as the meat dish was so small of having 2 pieces, to bulk it up to look more mixed with the vegetarian This lady server also kept arguing with us when we only wanted to order a couple dishes to share. After explaining we were not that hungry 5 times and wanted to share she just couldn't process it and kept arguing saying that's not enough. It's our choice what and how much we want to eat!The nann wasn't proper nann. Looked like bread. And the prices you pay are not of quality or quantity for what you would expect. After debates and arguments on each situation, we finally quickly ate and left. It was so awkward during the meal as we felt like we got told off and couldn't talk or say anything. We just quickly ate and left. There are better Indian restaurants around in Malta. Don't bother with this one!" +Restaurant,Date of visit: May 2018,Europe,Malta,Island of Malta,"Barcelona, Spain","Racists, arrogant and stereotyping","I wish there was an option to give a zero rating! This restaurant clearly wins the list of restaurants where I had the worst experience! The restaurant owners should understand that good food alone cannot win customers and that service matters to ALL customers. Extending stereotypical notions and racial behavior can only take you few miles before people start realizing who they are dealing with. I politely raised my issue with the lady at the end when paying the bills and told her that I will leave honest review that we felt discriminated and were disappointed by the service. Her response was 'one bad comment can not do harm to our business, do what you want to do'. I cannot stop anyone from visiting the place and she knew that mostly only onetime tourists visit the place and won't care much about one bad review!

I wont say the food was bad it was ok but the behavior of the staff was pathetic. This restaurant is run by a Pakistani family, could see two ladies and a guy. Firstly, as soon as we entered and waited for some staff to direct us to a table, this lady with a grumpy face showed us the table and immediately took away the cotton napkins in front of us as we took our seats. Then, the guy came to take our order and when we asked to bring napkins, he gave us the tissue papers. There were two more European couples in the restaurant and they were provided the cotton napkins. Secondly, it took more than 45 minutes to get food on our table. Later, when we asked us to pack the remaning food on the table, she handed us the packet and left. Finally, the worst thing, we asked her the reason why we were not given the napkins while everyone else was. She said we dont give them to Indians or Pakistanis customers because they do not use fork/spoons and spoil our napkins with their dirty hands. I am Indian and It was really disappointing to experience such racist and stereotypical behavior. Thus, I hated this place would be an understatement." +Restaurant,Date of visit: June 2018,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,"Amsterdam, The Netherlands",Scandalous racist restaurant,"Nobody should ever want to even look at this forsaken restaurant.

Presentation was poor. Then it was covered / burried I should say, in a honey mustard bbq sauce. Who does that The meat probably would have been ok if the sauce came on the side, but the sauce totally ruined it for me. I got my son a side of beef w/o sauce and it was pretty tastey. As for the racial slurs, I just got the feeling that was the town, I didn't even realize the racial info in the resturuant. The service was pretty crappy, too, the girl at the cash register that took the orders couldn't understand what I was asking and it was driving me crazy!

We had initially provided a 20 euro note to the waiter, more than sufficient to cover the 11.20 euro charge, which he refused for an unknown reason, demanding exact change, which we did not have. The waiter reached into my purse to return some extra coins I had tried to give him, and then threw the change from the 20 euro note onto the table instead of handing it to me, our waiter made us feel unwelcome and was very rude to us during payment. When I fumbled for change, he sneered a comment in German under his breath that was directed towards us and was quite clearly derogatory due to the tone of his voice and the look on his face. While neither my partner nor I speak fluent German, I understood enough that he was suggesting that we were unwelcome at your establishment and should instead be at Starbucks. I cannot imagine why, other than rudeness or perhaps racism towards foreigners, that the waiter in question would have addressed us in this way and acted so inappropriately.

How can it be full when we are already sat at the tableWere not asked to wait while they check if they could accommodate us or if there was any waiting time for tables to clear.

Also, my husband's uncle has been in there a few times with no problem but the moment he brought a black person he was asked to leave when there were plenty of empty tables with no reserved sign on any of them.

We were highly recommended by my other colleague to visit this restaurant but was extremely disappointed after our experience it ruined our whole time in Brussels. We all had the absolute WORST experience ever at the restaurant the food , the service everything was just awful and left distaste in our mouth. The food was mediocre at best with some truffles on top. But the worst thing is that the owner and chef of the restaurant, Luigi Circirello is condescending, arrogant and above all a racist. I am Canadian Chinese and English is my first language. I was with 4 other Americans, 3 of them Caucasian and one other Korean American. First as we sat down, the maitred was very snobby to us and arrogant maybe they thought we were young we are all in our early to mid 30s professionally dressed as we came right after work and will not spend a lot of money at their restaurant. Then later another short man in a grey suit came over to help us which I later found out is the chef and the owner of the restaurant Luigi Cicirello I should have known since his face is plastered all over the dining tables with his cards. When we started ordering the food, as my team was not that hungry and I have some dietary restrictions we did not order that much food each a main course but one starter to share. We wanted to share the starter but then the chef went on to say to me in a very condescending tone This is not Chinese cuisine, you cannot share a piece of seabass you will destroy my food!! The first time he said it to me, I let it go as I am Chinese Canadian. However he mentioned it multiple times that this is not Chinese cuisine in the most offensive, racist and condescending way as if I have never eaten any western cuisine in my life and I was some poor peasant never ate at a nice restaurant before!!!! I have travelled all over the world for business and pleasure and ate at many fine dining restaurants and never once have I had some make me feel like I do not belong at this restaurant because of my race and age. My colleagues who are Caucasian were appalled and wanted to leave the restaurant immediately because they said they cannot even enjoy this meal after this incident we all felt very uncomfortable and upset. However, I wanted to take the high road and told them its okay we wont cause a scene and we will eat quickly and after we leave I will tell him how offensive and racist he was. The food took forever to come and was extremely salty and was an extreme disappointment. However, the most appalling thing is when the racist owner Luigi Cicirello came to serve us our food, his actions were even more condescending not only to me but to all my colleagues. First he had to teach my one colleague how to eat his crab risotto which actually tasted like Chinese sticky race according to my coworker how ironic I didnt know he was serving Asian food at his restaurant , he picked up the fork and almost fed my colleague as if he was a 3 year old child who never ate risotto in his life. Secondly, Luigi Cicirello started singing a song to my other colleague as if he was making fun of her cause she was American and never had truffle before! Then lastly, when he came to me, the Chinese comments came up again, I ordered the black truffle ravioli and he said, you do not eat this like a Chinese dumpling implying that I have no idea how to eat a ravioli and only ever ate Chinese food in my life, he picked up my fork and knife and cut it up and said here this is how you eat it not like a Chinese dumpling. I was fuming mad that that point and could not hold back anymore, so I told him I am very offended that you keep on making these racist comments and that Im Canadian and I know how to eat my ravioli. He then half heartedly apologized. Throughout the meal he did not have the decency to come check on how we were doing because he can obviously tell we were upset and mad. He did send over some free desserts but the coward did not even have the courage to deliver the desserts himself. The maitre D finally came over to give us the check and he was only nice to us as I was paying. I do not understand how this can be a Michelin star restaurant as the food is not good at all and the restaurant owner is racist and condescending to his guests. The only nice staff in this restaurant was the girl server/hostess and the older man who served us water. I would highly never ever recommend this restaurant to anyone and my other colleague who recommended this restaurant to me felt terribly sorry and was appalled at my experience there.

We were a part you of 2 adults and 1 kid. There was hardly a customer inside the restaurant and that was kind of alarming.The chef and the staff standing outside to welcome people.They explained the fixed price menu.So they made us sit inside and the staff handed over the a la carte menu and then the owner Kumar emerged from somewhere.My husband inquired about the fixed price menu and he got really aggressive and grabbed the menu from husband's hand and asked him to go out and read the menu.This was an unnerving behavior. We have travelled to over 50 countries in the world and have never come across anyone in the hospitality industry to be so rude and aggressive. We chose to ignore his behavior and placed the order for us and our son.My 5 year old son was sick on that day so we ordered rice for him.He could hardly eat anything so we asked them to pack it and requested for some sugar that I wanted to add to the rice.We live in the US and were visiting HK at that time.The son was weak after throwing up and I let him eat some sugar with the spoon from the sugar bowl.He didn't take the spoon inside his mouth.This Kumar guy suddenly infuriated and all worked sternly ordered the staff to take the sugar bowl away.His staff obeyed the command.Then, the tea that my husband had ordered arrived and per Kumar's instructions the sugar bowl never came back to the table.When we were done with food and were ready to pay the bill my husband calmly explained to Kumar that his behavior was unacceptable , rude, arrogant, unnecessary and aggressive. Despite spending 7080 USD on food that day.After hearing this, instead of being apologetic, Kumar got severely aggressive and started screaming and shouting.We told him his restaurant will close for good if he continued with such a negative attitude.The total experience was bad.We realized that Kumar was a big racist and behaved in such a manner with the Asian / Indian people.

I didn't pay much heed then because I didn't know what he was referring to. We are light eaters and eat only what we like. Our total bill for 2 people was 154. We wanted to order dessert, but then we just wanted to get off the place after the rude comments and bad service. Food at Mirch Masala is just OK, but the owner's rude behavior leaves a bad taste in the mouth.

We a group of 5 friends went down and stayed there for 15 mins. Then, we wanted to get more drinks, and it was my round so I went to the bar. I waited for around 10 mins and I was the last on the queue. When it was my turn to order, someone an English guy got in front of me so fast but before he ordered his drink, I told the barmaid 'excuse me I was before him' and he looked at me and said 'yes he was before me'. But for some reason, the barmaid called the security and at that time my friends and I were trying to explain what happened when the security arrived. I asked the guy who went in front of me to explain to the security that I was before him but by then I was pushed out of the bar and told that they wanted to talk to me outside. I explained to the security guards what happened but they told me to leave. I asked why They told me I was 'on the wrong'. I explained to them what happened and asked them what they meant by 'being on the wrong' But they pushed me and my friends and told us to 'move'. The security people were very aggressive and didn't wanted to hear what we wanted to say. I have never experienced such degrading treatment in my life. The reason I think this happened to me is because of my background. I cannot explain it otherwise. I was there as a customer and did not in any way cause any trouble nor was I ever aggressive towards anyone. I could not understand what I was treated in that way. To the barmaid who called the security: you have no right to destroy my night! The guy you chose to serve before me told you that I was before him and it was my turn. Honestly, I just don't understand why you called the security. Shame on you! The reason I am writing this is I am so angry because of the treatment I and my friends have received and you have no right to make me suffer. To the management of The Three Crowns, I was going to spend around 60 on drinks and because of your racist stuff I was not able to.

We walked by a time later and my pregnant wife asked to use the bathroom the lady immediately recognizing her said they were closed. The only problem was they were open for another two hours and dozens of people walked in after she left.

After approx 5 mins of waiting at the table for the rest of my family I was approached why a waiter who informed me I couldn't seat there as the table was reserved. I replied that there was nothing on the table to say it was reserved and that I needed a big table, this was the only one that was clean and big enough. He said I'll get the manager who had no customer service what so ever. He told me again it was reserved and that I must move. I replied when you have cleaned a suitable table I will move. He then said he would call the police which I thought was totally over the top, I am a 56 year old grandmother and no threat to him, in the end he said forget it I am not serving you. At this point the party arrived who the table was reserved for, they were all coloured young and loud mouthed, I am not a racist person in any way I must add my 2 grandchildren are mixed race. By this time all of the restaurant could see what was happening, my daughter arrived who could see I was distressed and said to Simon the manager I feel this situation has racist undertones and to my shock he said yes you are right, with that we left. Later that same day my son in law called the restaurant to ask if he could reserve a table for the same day and was told they do not reserve tables at weekends, kind of contradicts what Sinon had said. All in all a very bad atmosphere in this restaurant and if all Nandos are the same I will not be visiting again.The following day which was the Monday I called Nandos customer services and explained what had happened the following day I called for an update, it is now Friday and have heard nothing.

If you have to chase someone screaming I'm not racist before they have even called you a racist, you're probably a racist. Also, the food sucks, but the racism is a bigger deal, ya knowStrike 1 Our party of 6 arrived and asked for a table and the manager goes ""well, your little friends points to table of black patrons over there moved tables around and that's strictly against policy"" blahblah and ranted about another group moving tables. We then were like ""well, can we have a booth"" and he goes ""I don't know if you all can fit in there"" and we were like ""ummm ok"" and then he goes ""well, I do have a high top for 6 inside"". Sir, then why wouldn't you start with this Why would you start ranting about another black party to us when we are just asking for a tableStrike 2 Our food had not yet arrived yet and I saw that 2 of my friends had actually just arrived and were sitting by themselves. I walked over and asked if they would like to join us as we had 2 extra spots at our table and the manager sprints over before I even have the chance to finish asking them and starts immediately SCREAMING IN OUR FACES. He starts by saying that ""your little friends have been fg my servers over all day"". Again with the ""your little friends phrase"". We all know that he meant ""the other black people in my establishment"". He continued by saying ""you two sit right back down you aren't going anywhere"". I was in shock. If groups are paying and tipping, then how is this ""fg your servers over"" My friends explained that they hadn't even been waited on yet and he responded with ""I don't care"". I retreated back to my table in shock. I asked our server if I could speak to a manager and then I was like ""or was your manager the one who just berated me"". She explained that the reason that he was upset was because other black people had been adding onto tables earlier in the day which messes up their system because they are on a rotational system. I told her that that policy while annoying is understandable and said that my qualm was not with the policy, but how I was SCREAMED AT as if I was a dog who just peed on the floor. She never proceeds to bang on the table and scream ""I CAN'T TAKE THIS ST"" and storms off. I was very confused as none of us raised our voices at her and we were all very calm. Strike 3 The manager comes storming out of the kitchen and screams ""WHY THE FCK ARE YOU YELLING AT MY SERVERS"". First of all, no one was even close to yelling, we were being nice to her. He then screams ""WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME I'M HERE"". Well, I had wanted to speak to a manager to complain about his behavior, but since he was the manager, that plan was off the table. I responded with ""I don't know"" since I was caught off guard with him being the manager and then he responded with ""well, let me know what you want when you can actually think of something""condescending am I right. I then asked why he yelled at me like he did and he again repeated his sentiment that ""your little friends have been screwing my servers over all day"" and I asked ""why do you think that we even know them"" and he responded with ""let's be real here. those were your friends, I saw you waving to them"". Sir, what Are you imagining black people waving to each other at your establishment That is bizarre. I then stated ""not all black people know each other, you know"" and he goes ""OH MY GOD I AM NOT A RACIST"". No one said that you were, but we sure as hell were all thinking it. If you have to scream ""OH MY GOD I AM NOT A RACIST"" when someone calls you out on racist behavior, you might actually be a racist. At this point, the entire restaurant was watching this man embarrass both himself and the establishment. He then stormed away and our subpar food came outStrike 4 As we were suffering with our nasty food, our waitress then stands by the soda machine bad mouthing our table. She honestly had no reason to bad mouth us as we were nothing but nice. I was very nice because she seemed very emotionally fragile so I made sure to keep a nice tone with her. Maybe that's just the culture Strike 5 As we peacefully left, the waitress and manager chased us out while screaming ""WE'RE NOT RACIST! BYE!"" while making obscure gestures.

He is also from New Orleans, born and raised, and so am I I'm VietnameseAmerican, not that it should matter in 2018. We'd never been to this place before and only went there to meet friends from New York who had dinner reservations there. We stood at the bar and noticed a tray of shots behind the bar that honestly look like they'd been sitting there all night. When the bartender finally gets to us, we jokingly say ""We'll take that whole tray for 40."" He immediately responds with ""This isn't Mexico, you can't haggle prices here."" I'm not sure what world he lives in, but it is a racially sensitive time for any person of color. For someone to work on Bourbon St. and come across all walks of life on a daily basis, you'd think the bartender would pick a better choice of words, especially considering the large Latin community in this city, and especially considering he is a WHITE man speaking to a BROWN man. Naturally, my fiance immediately responded with ""I'm not Mexican, don't come at me with that sht."" The bartender starts to tauntily wave bye to us as he walks away, never allowing us to order a drink. Once outside, security asks us what happened, we tell them their bartender is racist, and without hesitation another Saints and Sinners employee says ""He is racist! We had to kick out 6 people last week because they wanted to fight him for being racist."" Ummm... and he still works there why And this is their general manager! The moment we told our friends, they rallied to leave immediately with us. Another manager tried to remedy it by inviting the group to go upstairs, away from the racist bartender. I think they scrambled so quickly to do this because my friends from New York, a wealthy group of 12, had already spent a pretty penny there earlier for dinner and VIP passes. Needless to say, we will never be returning and will never recommend this place to anyone. I shouldn't have to deal with racism in my own city in front of my tourist friends. They might want to invest in some HR and hospitality training, especially when owned and attached to a celebrity's reputation." +Restaurant,Date of visit: April 2016,United States,Louisiana LA,New Orleans,unknown,Disappointed,"Took a hour for our food while the people next to use got it in like 2,min i guess it was a racial thing thats how i felt suppoly they were short staffed ok but u think the manager would b helping no too busy chit chatting while we were starving very disappointed would not go back" +Restaurant,Date of visit: February 2014,United States,Louisiana LA,New Orleans,"Charlotte, North Carolina, United States",Yummy!!!!,"After a terrible racially charged experience at Arnauds we stumbled upon this jewel!

This place is managed and run by complete and utter racists. My wife who is black was with her friend who is white for a girls night last night and was told by the security guard or whoever is at the door that they weren't taking anymore black people. WTF Are we still in the 1960's I understand not wanting the thug types to be in your establishment but this is not the case at all. My wife is very presentable and classy and the fact that she was with her friend that is white makes me question this even more. Its not like she was in a group of all black people, just the two of them. Not that a group of black people should be a problem in the first place. I rated this establishment all 0's because you at least have to be allowed in to even determine how the food, decor, service, and cost was. This is the kind of crap that makes black people hate white people. I have many good friends that are white but it doesn't matter what year it is, black people will always be stereotyped as being ghetto, ignorant, and problem causers. So blacks, if you are even considering going to this place, don't because you will be turned away. I'm sure if they could post a sign saying ""No Coloreds Allowed"" they would post it with pride. If black earned money isn't good enough for these people, go spend your money elsewhere.

On 29 June 2015, after a pleasant stroll by the embankment we decided to go to 'Belyye Nochi' restaurant for coffee. We chose to sit inside the restaurant, rather than outside, since it was chilly and noisy outside with a majority of people smoking. We were four, 3 Russians and I'm asian. For starters we ordered coffee, to warm ourselves from the chill, and planned to have dinner a bit later. The waitress who took the order, wasn't pleased at that. We asked her to leave one menu, so that we could decide on our dinner order. I was browsing through the menu and was pleasantly surprised to find the menu translated into English. We were served our coffee. The coffee was cold! Meanwhile, one in our group popped a candy into her mouth, and offered the others, while we were deciding on our order. This waitress rushed towards us and rudely said to stow the candy away. We readily obliged and put the candy back into the hand bag. We had barely begun to drink the coffee, when this waitress returned and gave us the bill, not bothering to ask us if we were ready with our dinner order. I was shocked at her behaviour. To add to this, she stood a short distance away and gave me the worst racist look, that I'd ever encountered. We hadn't finished our coffee, when she came back to our table and asked us, whether we are ready to settle the bill. I was absolutely aghast at this. We decided enough was enough, and not to have dinner. I took out my pen and wrote ""Bad Service, regrets only"" on the paper napkin and enclosed it with while settling the bill, along with a not so generous tip for the rude waitress. I could see her pondering on what was written on the paper, since it was in English. She collected the folder with bill, money and the paper napkin. She then showed the writing on the napkin to another waitress. I could see from their expressions that they couldn't read English. On second thoughts, I feel I should have written it in Russian too! We left after the unpleasant experience to head elsewhere for dinner. I'll rate this restaurant as the worst in Sochi. The service is poor, the waitress was rude, ill mannered and racist.

It is just a couple of blocks away from our place and we reached there at 14:00hrs. Though the buffet timing is till 14:30, still the moment we stepped in the waiter told us that the counter will close sharp at 14:30. I told him we still have time, he looked at his watch and then let us in. It seemed that he was really displeased to have us as his customer. The restaurant was deserted, there was only a guy eating his meal and this very rude waiter. We started serving ourselves and I took a bowl to take some raita, and the waiter said ""don't use these bowls, since they are for soup, you can take that on your plate"". I apologized since I knew he was trying our patience from the very beginning. The bread was served at the table and on asking for another serving the waiter said ""with buffet we serve only 1 bread per person, if you want more you will have to order"". By then, my husband had already taken too much of his bad attitude and therefore he just asked me to quickly finish my lunch, so that we could leave. At the billing counter the waiter said that the swipe machine was not working and that we pay by cash. My husband asked him to try once and it worked obviously. Well, I guess the waiter was extraordinarily behaving badly so we never return. Congratulations! We will never return.

No sign, no explanation. I went to get money out and when I came back I said ""sorry, was that 30"" And I just got looked up and down like I was stupid, before the guy yelled ""YEAH"".I also got served behind people that came in after me I was the only nonlebanese person there. When they realised the order was for me, they said something in Arabic and took my food back before returning it a minute later turned out when I got home there was less food than last time when I ordered the same thing... but probably more spit, who knowsAll in all, they should have a sign out the front saying white people aren't welcome, because it certainly felt that way. Such a shame, because I would have been a repeat customer but nothing is worth putting up with that." +Restaurant,Date of visit: January 2015,South Pacific,Australia,New South Wales,"Sydney, Australia",AMAZING FOOD disgusting service,"If you want really fantastic Middle Eastern Food, that truly satisfies your taste buds, then Jasmin1 is the perfect choice.But If you want service with a smile, or even service at all, run in the opposite direction.Everything is done so aggressively. Even when the restaurant isn't even all that busy. Plates are slammed down on the tables, menus thrown down with such force that you're physically startled by the noise. Well in the case of our last visit, we weren't even given menus, we were unable to flag staff down and in the end had to line up at the front desk to then say ""Hi we've been waiting 10 minutes for menus"".This was a recurring theme. Same event for Table water ""Hi, we've asked your waiters for another water 4 times already"", same event for serviettes, cutlery, cups and tea. Also when you do finally get service at the front desk its usually very assertive and aggressive, no ""can i help you"" more""NEXT"" and ""WHAT"". I was also not very fond of when I was next in line and then the woman at the desk looked beyond me.. to serve the Lebanese people behind me. If I didn't have my entire family as witness noone would have believed me.Ive often wondered whether it is a racism thing. Ive come to Jamin1 5 times now the food is too good and every time have been more and more convinced that the aggression in service must come down to that I'm Caucasian in appearance only, I'm actually European.As I said earlier the food is terrific, albeit a little pricey. HoweverDon't get a banquet. Just don't. Basically, how much food comes out is at the discretion of the kitchen staff, the amount we got with 4 people on one visit was exactly the same given to 7 of us on our next visit, except we paid 75 extra. The banquet states that every individual person should get one of everything, but this isn't the case.Overall, I probably would have a 6th visit in future. The food is great but as Ive made very clear, the service is terrible." +Restaurant,Date of visit: January 2019,Canada,British Columbia,Richmond,unknown,"racism, rude, the worst experience of my life in a restaurant","We won nice at river rock across the street and decided to treat our self to a nice sea food feast. When we arrived, the restaurant was almost empty, about 6h00 pm Saturday the 12th of January. Instead of welcoming us in the restaurant, at a table like a customer. The host decided that we my wife and I were not worthy of their establishment and asked us to stand there and look at the menu, in the entrance, like panhandlers. Welcoming others customers as it should be....the only difference the colors of ours skin!!! it was so insulting that we left. Never been treated like that before and hope never will again.

While I am standing there a Chinese couple came in and they were seated immediately with no conversation just how many and follow me. I continued to question the hostess and she just would ignore me. I will say that I was polite in my conversation and never rude or boisterous.

Not only was she completely rude and disrespectful, but she lacked any professionalism what so ever. As a restaurant, there should be a certain level of customer service and hospitality. My son had brought in a water bottle in from the car, and she came over and yelled at us, as if we had intentionally tried to not pay for drinks while picking up our pizza order. She made racist comments, ""That's not how we do it here in America, there are laws, you can't do that,"" I am an American born Chinese, and married a Caucasian I assure you that my family was born and raised in America, and and never have we been so rudely insulted in a public restaurant. The tables next to us saw the whole incident they told me that they agreed it was completely unacceptable, and we agreed there are just ignorant people in this world. As an American citizen, I can't stand that there are people in this country that my brothers and cousins have gone to war to protect. IT'S 2015, OPEN YOUR EYES!" +Restaurant,Date of visit: December 2018,United States,New York NY,Queens,unknown,One of the Best Italian Food Spots in New York,"First, I am compelled to critique the above review as I feel it is my civic duty. I think it is disgusting how some people can throw around such derogatory terms like ""racist"" without any evidence. I truly wonder if those looking to be offended at every turn truly realize that when they see someone that is not their own skin tone and assume that they are racist because they had an allegedly poor experience that makes THEM the racist... Second, Vetro is owned by Italians. I think people would do better to learn American history and recognize how Italians were oppressed when they came to this country as well. One of the largest public lynchings in American history was of Italian Americans. Yet, they're going to be prejudice of Indian people or create a business that is ""racist"" Use your head. Third, I have been to Vetro probably close to 60 times. There is always a very diverse group of people at the restaurant and just the other day we joined tables with a fabulous black family that were regulars and had children around the same age as ours. We had a BALL. Amazing how fun people can have when they aren't looking for racism everywhere....Fourth, I have had or been to birthday parties here, baby showers here, breakfast with Santa here.. The list goes on. The staff is always super professional and food never disappoints. Ever. If I was ever in a poor sitting area or asked for anything, they always willingly complied. Prices aren't cheap but they aren't exactly hefty either yet the portions are fair and there's always some for leftovers the next day! Anyway, I figured I would give my two cents since I love this place and I cannot stand when others are so quick to judge. I don't think they realize how their words can have a huge effect on someone's business and livelihood. People would do better to think more rationally before jumping online with wild accusations and insults. The world would be a much better and less ""racist"" place." +Restaurant,Date of visit: May 2016,United States,New York NY,Queens,"Queens, New York","Overpriced, Racist, Had a Very Uncomfortable Experience",My fianc took me to Vetro by Russo's on the Bay for Mother's Day. It is very nice inside however the service was far from great and we were both left feeling very uncomfortable. We were seated by the far corner of the wall by the kitchen so every time a waiter passed they would bump me because my back was facing the doorway. Our waiter didn't seem very interested in serving us and had the audacity to circle a handwritten 22 tip amount on our bill!!! We felt like outcasts and had the feeling that it was a very prejudice place as we are both of Indian decent. The price for the food was ridiculous compared to the very small amount of food served. We both don't eat a lot but believe me the amount of food served wouldn't fill a 5 year old child. The food was not cooked properly and tasted very bland. For a very small portion of food and two glasses of cheap wine the bill came up to almost 300. I would never recommend this place unless you are white and rich. +Restaurant,Date of visit: March 2019,Europe,France,IledeFrance,unknown,AVOID ALL COST!!!

They were super disorganized and blasting very boring house music. They were poorly managed and very crammed. After finally getting a seat which we had to find oursleves, we were greeted by the ONLY PRO OF THE BAR, girl with pink dress and with glittery handbag, honestly get a new job you can do so much better. We were utterly disappointed and unimpressed by lack of original drinks which are overpriced. They only had very basic drinks and they were SUBPAR AT BEST. Even the cups were basic ikea cups. There is no experince whatsoever. Theres nothing trendy or interesting about this bar at all. Save your money and go literally anywhere else.On to the racist part. Im from Hong Kong myself and I had another Asian friend and a friend from Greece shes white, none of us speak French. We were legit the only PoC at the place. We were asked to move tables very patronizingly LEGIT 20 MINUTES AFTER WE SAT DOWN. They said cause a group of people who want a bottle want a table so we had to move. Keep in mind everyone who was also sitting down was there A LOT EARLIER THAN US, and some were like 2 people using a 4 person table. I dont wanna equate everything to race but... We had to stand at the bar where 2 girls kept starring at us condicedingly, this really shows us what type of people they attract. We saw some PoC walkout before, we shouldve known. Its just ironic that theyve used our asian likeliness and culture and asethetic BUT ARE SO MEAN TO US ASIAN PEOPLE.

The racial appropriation and commodification of asian culture is unbelievable for todays society. The food is mediocre at best. Maybe in the early 2000s this was an acceptable restaurant, but its 2018!The place is an embarrassment for Paris. The staff is overchallenged which is not their fault. They have all tried their best to placate the disgruntled customers however its really down to the establishments over ambitious admittance of guests. Weve waited for half an hour to get our table and then the nightmare unfolded. The restaurant is so understaffed that it took 30 minutes for bread to be even brought to the table. And after waiting for an hour we sampled our starter, the Kong Plate it was in fact just a pair of spring rolls, low quality negiri and a sad ceviche. At this point McDonalds sounded like heaven compared to this torturous anticipation for more mediocrity. McD least it wouldve been hot and quick. We decided to cut our losses and actually order McDonalds XD. We canceled our main courses and asked for the bill. It took 10 minutes to get the waiters attention and then another 10 for the bill to arrive. Followed by another 5 minutes just for the card machine. Im actually impressed at how understaffed the restaurant is. The efforts of the 510 waiters serving two floors of dinner guests is commendable but the management needs an complete overhaul. Who in their right mind would allow this to happen And the concept of the restaurant is impossibly distasteful. Also they need to take down that ceiling fresco. STAT.

That was ok, but we saw the guy seat a white couple without reservation. Anyway, we gave him benefit of doubt and returned at 9:30. We ordered Dal Makhani and Aloo Gobhi. When asked how spicy we want to food we said 'Indian spicy' i.e how Indian food is served. However, the waiter suggested that meant 4 on a scale of 5. sure, we said and placed the order. The food came and had no taste at all except for red chillis. When we asked to make it better the waiter said that it wasn't their fault since we asked for 4/5 spicy on a scale of 5 which was his own suggestion. he took it back after much arguing and brought it back after adding some water in Daal and gravy in Aloo Gobhi which was otherwise dry.We however, paid and went back.While, we had a bad experience, my husband wanted to get some Indian chicken for himself so we went back the next day again. On seeing us at 6:30 PM, the waiter said he had no table available for today again when all the tables were full. he then said, its only take away. We decided to order two dishes and just when we were talking to each other he announced that just the dishes we were going to order were not available. No panner and channa masala.

As the person taking the order realised that the bill was going far north of 450500HRK 6070 he said to us, ""Since you have a big order, I give you table inside"" The ""inside"" looked like the back of a dingy storehouse with a sheet for a curtain. Look at the pictures. Now, the food. The dal makhani was not creamy, it was spicy. The mutton rogan josh tasted only of tomatoes and had 4 tiny pieces of lamb. For a dish that expensive, they ought to at least give a couple of more pieces. The chicken biryani has brilliant reviews so we decided to try it. Again, over cooked chicken in red chilli paste. No aromatic spices, no yogurt raita along with it. Plain disappointing.Total bill was a little over 80 and two of my friends had an upset stomach the next day.

After starters we had to wait a good while for someone to notice us and take order for the mains. One waiter came forward to change our plates but then the waiter who sat us down called from behind and asked the waiter in Bangladeshi not to clear our dirty plates. This guy was just about to clear our plates and got called of. We found it weird again and gave him the benefit of doubt and didn't say anything. When our mains arrived, it was to be given with a portion of salad. The waiter bringing us the main was arriving at the table and had salad in his hand as well I could clearly see from the mirror in front of me but then gets called in Bangladeshi mention salad something..... and he then turns back and leaves the salad at a desk and brings out mean without the salad.

That was it, I had to go and speak to the manager. The manager understood and apologised for his behaviour, to which I asked the manager that it wasn't the manger behaving in a disrespectful and racist manner, it was the waiter looked like the head waiter there to which the manager asked the waiter to apologise but to my surprise he just disgracefully walked away without saying anything. There was clear negative attitude in his behaviour. I am surprised how a Bangladeshi waiter can be racist to an Indian Nepalese origin customer! It was a shame to see this behaviour from them. I have come to a conclusion that they believe English customers would leave them good tips and hence their difference in attitude towards different customers. I dine out often and always appreciate the service, even if it's not up to mark because it's busy. But it's the first time I experienced such disgusting racist behaviour in a restaurant and will surely not go there again. The food was good. The ambience was good. The managers effort was good.

The proprietor laughed it off, gave me another deck of cards and made excuses for the racist actions of his fellow. I was shocked, didn't know what to do. While I was collecting myself, a fellow customer asked me if he could use the chair beside me. It occurred to me to ask him that, seeing as how it is the proprietor's values are not to share one deck of cards out of two, perhaps it's wrong for me to share his chair. He smirked at me. This racist exclusion values was a joke to him too. I was so upset I went up to the counter and said that I had to leave. The proprietor forced me to pay for the food I had yet to eat and threatened to call the cops. So I payed. I'll try and put a stop on my credit card if possible.

I could see by the expression on her face she was going to say no to us when a lady in chefs clothing stepped out from the kitchen and smiled at us and said of course. She then began to assemble tables together to accommodate our group and was clearly put out by this. I then realised that 2 of our children were asleep in buggies so we didnt actually need the final table that she was manoeuvring into position so I thought I better tell her. Before I could finish the first word of the sentence, she interrupted me and told me she didnt understand me.We were then treated to an hour and a half of food and drink being thrown at us literally in some cases, walking off as we were speaking to her, tutting and generally making us feel very uncomfortable. We had to ask for everything at least twice. In the defence of the restaurant, what came out of the kitchen was decent local food but this was completely overshadowed by the waitresss behaviour.The restaurant filled up during the time we were there and none of the other diners received this treatment but got similes and attentive service. As we were the only nonfrench English group in the restaurant, I can only assume that this was because she didnt like English people. Just to qualify this, I have had many instances of bad service abroad but none have lead me to this conclusion. It just amazes me that this person is employed by them, as the lady in the kitchen who must have been more senior to her witnessed a lot of her quite spectacular performance.Reading the other reviews I can see that I am not the only English person to complain about this waitress so in summary, if you are English and want to be made to feel really uncomfortable by a complete racist then Les Aviateurs is for you. Otherwise I would suggest visiting any of the other restaurants in the town, all of which I found very good." +Restaurant,Date of visit: June 2016,Asia,Singapore,Singapore,"Singapore, Singapore",Most racist bar in Singapore,I visited with a Friend from London both Asian and we were asked to pay 50 for 2 beers /person.

Going to Highlander HL is something for sure I would recommend. Starting from the ambience, music, bands, the staff all have been and they continue to be amazing. It is like you feel so relaxed post a long day or the place you want to let loose if you on a vacation, HL is the place to be. There were times when I used to be traveling alone and coming here to HL was like coming back and meeting friends. The bar crew, the tech crew, the security and especially the managers ..... all are very welcoming! They take efforts to talk to the customers be it a regular or otherwise. I have also observed that they make it a point to talk and engage with tourists as SG thrives on a large quantum of tourism. Hence some remarks by some visitors of they HL being racist I am an Indian is what I would not agree to. In totality. The staff goes to the extent of remembering your name and your preference for drinks. I would say one should and should not go by these remarks of racism and dress code as club rules apply everywhere! A lot of the regular ones are no the Caucasians. I have asked all my friends visiting SG to go to HL and all who have visited, have comeback with a great and an amazing experience. So i would say, get it in your itinerary for the evenings to go to HL! Enjoy the music, the band performance and have a good time! I am looking forward to it again ..... end April, 2016!

We had 3 hours to explore the island and after asking around the locals, Pantelis seemed to be the right choice for lunch.It all started when we sat down and the already illtempered waiter asked us where were from. We answered Israel and he looked at us with a smile that seemed as though he was underestimating us, but we decided to ignore it. We ordered several starters, my other friends ordered shrimp and one of my friends and myself decided to order a 1kg sea bass to share. Not to mention the horrible service and zero smiles we received from the waiters, neither did they bother to take away empty plates or give us new ones. We had to tell them what to do all along the meal.All the dishes except the sea bass had arrived and we were eating and enjoying the beautiful view of Symi. 40 minutes into the meal and still no sign of the fish. We asked the waiters what was going on, and they said it will be out soon. We mentioned that we are supposed to leave with the boat in 45 minutes time and asked if they could please make it quicker.Another 20 minutes already an hour at the restaurant and no fish. The waiters said that it should be out any minute and this was the point where we werent willing to wait anymore, since we were supposed to leave and everyone had finished eating. The waiters frowned and said its coming and we told them that we were not willing to pay nor eat the fish.There is no acceptable reason that a grilled fish should take over one hour to prepare. Not to mention the restaurant wasnt too busy, approximately 10 other tables at maximum keeping in mind we were at the largest table, sitting 6.Finally after 1 hour and 10 minutes after we had ordered the meal, the fish arrived with what seemed to be the manager that had mocked us being Israelis when we sat down who started shouting and saying that we ordered the fish and now its ready and we are going to pay for it. We told him that there is no reason we should be waiting so long, and if it takes over an hour to grill a fish this should be mentioned when taking an order, especially when people have a limited time on the island when arriving with the boat. When the manager understood that there is no chance we are willing to pay the 50 for the fish he started shouting and swearing in Greek, mentioning the word Israelites Israelis in Greek to his colleagues repeatedly.Needless to say we put the exact amount we were supposed to pay, excluding the fish, and no tip for such horrible service. I mentioned to the manager he is racist and his behavior is a disgrace to this island and Greece as a whole.NEVER SUPPORT RACISM.

Upon asking about this, we were informed that the discount only applied to Montenegrins, in flagrant opposition to the statement on the menu which is discriminatory and probably illegal anyway.We got our drinks and waited more than twenty minutes for someone to take our food order, even after flagging a waiter down. We decided to leave. Before we had even put the last of the coins on the table, a waiter very conveniently dashed out to collect our cash.

Both the ordered curries tasted the same.This restaurant however seemed to be a hit among locals as we saw quite alot of French guests.

Proceed with caution,"I headed into the place with lots of expectation going by the reviews which were waxing lyrical of the place, esp the view.I had to come around twice before spotting the entrance as it is hidden inside a antiquity shop. I couldn't make anything out wrt a view as I went in around 8 in the night and it was pretty dark. There are comfortable looking seating options with plenty of cushions to go around and the place was pretty full with only a single row near the river facing side empty. As I went in to sit, a visibly irritated waiter told me that it's gonna take time and as I wasn't really looking for a fast food shop, I gave him a thumbs up and explained that I can indeed wait for the food.At this juncture he told me that I can't sit there as there are expecting a bigger group there. At this point the managerI guess who saw me entering came up to me and explained that I have to leave now and I cannot be accommodated. As it had very limited capacity, I could totally understand the situation and obliged willingly. On my way out, I saw a white couple obviously stumbling in and checking the seating and the manager welcoming them with wide arms and explaining that they can sit anywhere they want. I waited for the manager to come out and he just avoided meeting my eyes which just confirmed my assumption that I was racially profile and denied entry as I am Indian. With a disappointing end to my first day in Rishikesh, I trudged along to the next cafe where I had a brilliant time.I have been in cafes all across India from Varkala to Hampi to Pushkar to Kasol and I have never had such a pathetic experience with the folks who run the places. Being a solo Indian male is obviously an unwelcome trait at Shambala Cafe, but accepted everywhere else.The food may be good, the views brilliant but the high handedness of the management and the obvious racial discrimination is something I pray would be wiped out soon." +Restaurant,Date of visit: February 2018,Asia,India,Kerala,unknown,Bloody racists!,"The waiters pretended to be busy all the time with only handful of customers in the cafe.

She did not care. We spoke to the manager who also did not care or give any explanation. The only conclusion we could draw was because we were a large black party they did not care to seat us and did not care about losing our business.

I was photographing a large party of about 70 or so patrons one night for a rehearsal dinner. The party ended up being in an overflow section.

If the seating party is larger, there is an extention on which they will put on one side to join the two tables together. Well there was an open seat at the extention, but our party was sharing with an all white party, and the seating hostess seemed to be determine to not let me sit next to that party. She suggested that I sit at the opposing corner of the table with our group, even though the extention seat was still on our side. I didn't seat, because I felt highly disrespected. At the end of the night, I asked the hostess for a credible reason why she refused to sit me next to that party, and she told me that she couldn't give me a credible reason, and then said that was her last night anyway, and just walked off.

The table looked nothing like the other tables and did not have table settings set out.On asking the waiter why he gave us this table, he said it was the owner's instructions. At this point, we almost walked out but since my son wanted to eat Italian badly, I insisted on another table and they provided us with a normal table. I later asked the owner why they provided us with the makeshift table and he mumbled something around not being aware of it but it was not convincing.During the dinner, the restaurant continued to be only about half full and I later noticed that the makeshift ""table"" they had originally shown us was used as a kitchen table where they put food ingredients. Therefore, it was not because the restaurant was full that they put us at that table originally.I can only conclude that they originally put us at that table because we are East Asians and they were discriminating against us. The food itself was good but the treatment left us feeling very uncomfortable and unable to enjoy our meal.This is the first time I have experienced racism so overtly at a restaurant despite having travelled extensively all around the world. From the other reviews, it seems that their normal service is good and not what we experienced so we were singled out for ""special"" treatment.If you patronize this restaurant, recognize that you are supporting a racist owner who overtly discriminates against customers based on race." +Restaurant,Date of visit: November 2017,Europe,France,IledeFrance,"Bali, Indonesia",RACIST PLACE IN PARIS,"If you are a tourist or even a working person in Paris don't go there.

The couple were asked to come back in 15 minutes and when I spoke up and said I've been waiting too the waitress said ""we are very busy might have table but might not so you can come try later"".

We went there today, Jan12th, around 2:15 in the afternoon and while there were numerous staff looking jobless, not one was willing to greet and seat us. Should have treated this as a red flag but we went ahead and asked one of them if we could sit at any of the free tables to be served. We seated ourselves after receiving confirmation and waited for the menus. After 15 minutes of waiting, one of the wait staff came to us and informed us they were closed and no longer serving lunch. I then informed him that we checked their website which states the place closes for lunch at 3:30 and we had a hungry toddler with us. He seemed not to care and informed us that they were expecting a lot of guests in the evening and hence needed time to cook for dinner! I had him repeat this as I couldn't believe what I was hearing. It seemed like a bizarre reposnse but we figured it was bad luck and started to leave the place. As we were leaving, we noticed the same guy walking up to a 'white' couple who had come after us and started to take down their order. To make matters more interesting, on our way out we also saw one of the staff greeting a 'white' family who had just walked in to the place. In case anyone is curious, we are brown skinned and it took a little restaurant in Unawatuna to experience the 'selfracism' everyone talks about in regards to Sri Lanka.

Awful service.,"I came on July 21 for dinner with my American friend at this restaurant. I am 23, visiting from Spain. I have been traveling around California for a number of weeks. Throughout this time, I've been using my National Spanish ID to get drinks as I'm cautious about bringing my passport around. I completely understand if a place only accepts passport, in which case, I'm comfortable looking for drinks elsewhere. My problem with the staff of Crushed, San Diego is the EXTREMELY RUDE and unprofessional way they told me I could not use my ID. Basically, upon receiving my ID and seeing it was a foreign, it was thrown at my face and when I handed over my phone with a picture of my passport, it was flicked across the table. I've never had anyone look at me or treat me like trash the way these people did. One waitress was pretty patronizing and talked to me slowly like I was a toddler, emphasizing that they only accept AMERICAN ids or passports. When I insisted once or tried to explain that all other establishments I've used this ID at had no issues, THEY THREATENED TO CALL THE POLICE ON ME. I was terrified, I couldn't say a thing after that. Again, I understand if I can't have a drink but when they switched over to my American friend they kindly asked what she wanted. They NEVER asked me if I wanted any food or anything nonalcoholic. No apology for the situation, nothing. The waitress just completely ignored me.I have never experienced this kind of treatment before. After all the news in the US about being threatened with the police for no legitimate reason when you mean no harm, I never thought it would happen to me so blatantly. This place needs to reevaluate their protocols and learn to handle customers, especially tourists, with care. Threatening to call the police on a young woman trying to explain herself or asking questions is not the way. SHAME ON YOU.To the owner, I hope you read this and train your staff better." +Restaurant,Date of visit: March 2018,United States,Virginia VA,Roanoke,unknown,Racist,"Come on guys it's 2018 and still there is a lot of racism in Roanoke.

As soon as we got out the car people were glaring and pointing at us. This isn't the owners fault, but upon entering, the host and waitstaff were very rude. They actually seated three couples before us that came in after us. I was spoken to differently and treated as if we didn't matter. I am not the type to run the ""race card"" but it was clear we weren't welcome here. I am white with blonde hair and my husband is puerto rican but being a roofer his skin tone has darkened a bit.

When my fiance and I walked into the restaurant and asked for a table we were told that there were no tables available and were offered a table at the bar which is completely separate from the main dining area. The crazy part is the fact that there were at a minimum 6 tables and booths open and there were no patrons waiting. We chose to wait for an open table and went to the rest room to freshen up, miraculously when we returned they were able to find a table in ther middle of the main dining area.

And what happened to me was the worst racist servise by a waiter named Raz. He uttered NO SINGLE WORD to me during the service, looking at me with a mocking, scornful facial expression, while he was normal to other customers.I am originally from Japan and was wearing kimono, a Japanese national dress on that day. Another waitress approached me and gave me compliments about my kimono, but apparently Japan/Asia/kimono did not seem to be Raz's cup of tea!Raz continued to avoid my table after placing the bill on my table, so after waiting for good 15 minutes, I stood up and went to the waitress to say I would like to pay. Raz finally approached me and took my card without saying anything of course!. I asked his name and its spelling, and IT WORKED A MIRACLE. He looked extremely nervous and weak, and out of the blue mumbled that he loved my outfit, but too late!I sent a letter of complaint to the cafe, and a manager named Rebecca replied. She wrote that Raz admitted that he did not do enough service to me, and also that Raz said my outfit was 'insane' so that other customers and I could hear lovely extra service!. However, Rebecca desperately wrote that still she believed it was not related to racism or personal dislike by no means! She suggested visiting their cafe again to experience their 'heartfelt hospitality'. NO THANK YOU!!! I am living in London for years, wearing kimono almost every day, but I came across such a racist waiter for the first time. I still can not believe it happened in the multicultural London. I advise you not to go there, unless you love racist lads like Raz, who could kindly judge your outfit with strong words too!" +Restaurant,Date of visit: October 2017,Canada,Ontario,Niagara Falls,"St. Catherines, Canada",Racist Restaurant,"Flavourless coffee, rude service, and worst racist experience possibly in my life. Warnings to tourists or nonwhite customers: STAY AWAY! READ ALL UNDER 3STAR RATINGS FIRST! If you click on each one, you will see most of the customers who complained about service were either Chinese or Indian. Interesting isn't itHere is what happened if you are curious. A blonde waitress greeted us and asked if we had a reservation. The restaurant looked empty but she said without reservation we can only sit at a small shabby table.Well we didn't have any objection to that. We sat down and waited for her to come and take our order. It took a very long time. During this time a small fly was bothering us constantly and one time landed on my eyebrows and I was really annoyed. Finally she came and we ordered some crepes and two coffee lattes. When the coffee came among the flies, I was happy and I said ""nice"" since I was starving. The waitress said, ""yeah, and it was very strong coffee too."" I felt weird since we ordered coffee lattes which were not supposed to be strong.The moment I took a sip, it all became clear why she said that. The coffee 5.5 tastes like a combination of hot milk, some hot water, and some regular distilled coffee. The top of the coffee looks like foaming toothpaste and there was absolutely no crema which all espressobased coffee should have. I didn't want to complain about the lack of espresso coffee at this point since we were here for a carefree getaway. Then she came back and asked us how we felt about the coffee. My partner and I both hesitated for 1 sec to comment. I was about to reply ""it's ok"" to the waitress but all I saw was her butt. She cut me off with a loud voice, back towards us and stepping away, ""BETTER BE GOOD!"" We were choked without a chance to say anything.I was quite surprised. I have never given a negative comment before in a restaurant. But this time, I think I'd better tell her that something might be wrong with their espresso machine. The next time she came, I told her frankly that in my opinion the coffee was flavourless. She immediately responded, again in a loud voice, ""BUT WE PUT THREE SHOTS OF ESPRESSO THERE!"" That was a blatant lie.I was really angry and I said I'm sorry but it was at best coffeeflavoured milk, definitely not espresso! She said, again in a loud voice, ""I can bring you some more coffee, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TELL ME!""Now the most disturbing part. When she came back with more coffee, she started to go on and on about how I was rude and I should be nice and just tell her. I couldn't believe my ears and my hands were shaking. I had more than enough and I completely lost my appetite at this point. Being the only Asian customer in the room, I felt it must be discrimination at that point so I called her a racist idiot, dragged my partner out of the restaurant without paying the bill. I barely touched the food but the food was not all that great either. All the bacon strips were sitting on the outside of the crepes which was disturbing for a French restaurant.I have never walked out of a restaurant this way and it was the weirdest experience ever. Now that we cooled down a bit, I would describe this waitress as crazy rather than rude or racist. I won't go back at any point." +Restaurant,Date of visit: June 2018,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,unknown,Racist attack,"Today we , took our guest to enjoy Indian cuisine , to the Nawab restaurant in Leeds branch around 9 pm. We were 4 adults and we placed order for our starters and drinks along with our main course. The Asian person in blue shirt, , Nadeem, not sure of his nametook our order. After sometime we received our starter item poppadums and we were all in good mood and were enjoying the food. While eating, I spilled some chutney on my phone and table and had to use the paper napkin to wipe my fingers and chutney stains on my phone and table. Meanwhile, our starters arrived and we were about to eat our starters, but as my paper napkin was spoiled due to chutney, I politely asked this person, Nadeem, to give me a paper napkin. He looked at us angrily gave us 4 paper napkins. We said we want only 1 paper napkin, but he again looked at us angrily and made a very rude racist comment I am giving you more because I know this is how Indians and Pakistani people are. They always ask for more napkins where ever they go. This is how all Indians and Pakistanis are. We were absolutely shocked by this racist comment. We are living in UK since past many years and had never been victim of racial abuse. This experience was not only shocking for us but really disheartening. We are really emotionally affected by this racial attack on us. Go to this restaurant if you want to be victim if racist attack . We are definitely never going there." +Restaurant,Date of visit: June 2014,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,"Flintshire, United Kingdom",Nawaab Leeds Centre,"Nawab Leeds Centre: This evening at Nawab Leeds Centre, we have had the worst customer service experience ever. We all work with customer and have been working in this field for so many years from which we have learnt that customers are always right. Apparently in Nawab Leeds Centre it is a complete different story. On the way to the restaurant for a lovely evening and to celebrate Ramadans eve with the family, we thought it might be a good idea to bring our own cans of coke with us as the coke served at Nawab Leeds Centre is not as nice. My family said we would not have the coke until we asked the waiters if we could do that. When we arrived at the restaurant, we asked two waiters, and they said it was ok for us to drink our own coke. So in return we ordered more starters to compensate the restaurant for the loss of not buying coke from them. After we had the starters and while we were eating the main, a manager came to our table and literally started ranting at us in front of all customers saying: Are you guys actually having your own drinks We are trying to make a business here; do you think you are eating in Bradford It is Leeds here, this is not acceptable. We all thought that he was joking, but he kept on, I said are you actually saying these words to us He replied do you speak good English Do you actually have the dignity to bring your own coke here I said I have dignity despite of you I asked two waiters and they both said it was ok. He didnt believe me and said you need to stop giving me this attitude. When one of the waiters was walking by, I asked him and the waiter said he thought we were joking. At that moment, we stood up and asked for the bill, he said yeah come along and pay and leave, when my family were trying to tell him that we didnt like what he was saying and he should not have approached us like this, he kept talking over them and kept emphasising on the fact that he was the manager. We paid for the food but we didnt have it and left him the coke that we had brought with us, then we went to Kashmir restaurant in Bradford, which was very nice, cheap and very very friendly. We will never go to Nawab Leeds Centre ever again, even though we were regular customers and always paid tips for the under paid staff that were shouted at by that manager so many times. I did not like the stereotyping and the racism in that mans voice, who under rated and judged us and humiliated us in front of everybody for no reason at all and accused the people of Bradford of being something that they are not, whereas we were paying customers who did not do anything wrong." +Restaurant,Date of visit: July 2018,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,unknown,"Worse experience ever ""Racist staff and security is a disgrace""","I have been a regular customer at this pub and over the time I've notice the security guard can be aggressive towards customers, but last night he was really rude and racist towards me and the group of people in my table.

At the end of the game we congratulate the people around us but the same guys at the back were shouting racist remarks towards us again, then when one of my girl friends started shouting back why they were racist, the security guard came and push her out as if she was the one causing the issue. He was very racist himself pushing us all out and treating us like criminals. No one else from the staff members came to help or even to try to find out what was going on.

However, a few weeks ago I headed over there to meet some friends on a Friday evening, and was told that recent dress code rules forbid gents in shorts/slippers. I was bemused, as I've been there many times dressed casually, as most other patrons are as well. It's a pub after all, not a high end bar. Anyways, as I waited for my friends outside, I watched the hostess and bouncers reject a couple of guys and their female companions they seemed from the Indian subcontinent, for the same reason. Dejectedly, they hung around outside while making other plans. A few minutes later, three single Caucasian gentlemen, two of whom are in shorts/slippers, walk up to the door, and are welcomed warmly and let in. I was shocked!!! I immediately walked up to the hostess and bouncers and confronted them, obviously fuming at this blatant display of ""selective screening"". Their response Those Caucasian patrons were previously inside, having come in earlier for Friday brunch. So, when I asked what the difference is between someone coming in earlier or later, if there are patrons inside dressed casually at this very moment...they had nothing to say. I offered to pay the brunch entry fee although it was over several hours ago, if that was the case, and get nothing in return. They still refused. After a back and forth for several minutes, I asked to speak to the manager to complain. He came out and tried to defuse the situation, because at that point I made it clear that this was racially selective screening, regardless of dress code or timings or brunch fees. My friends inside came out, having confirmed that there were several gents inside dressed casually, shorts and slippers. The manager continued to try to clarify, but finally gave up and offered to let me in and buy me a drink on the house. I'm not sure what their concept of a man's pride is, but it would be a cold day in hell that I would accept such an offer, having been rejected, insulted, and humiliated by representatives of this establishment. This is Dubai, an Arab that welcomes people from all walks of life, a multicultural melting pot that few other cities in the world can rival. Places like the Stables do not belong in our modern society, especially not in Dubai. Racism will not be tolerated, and that evening a few weeks ago made it crystal clear: Stables does not welcome all. Call it what you will; selective profiling, racism, anti Arab on Arab soil. Whatever. I will not be returning to Stables, and I will make sure everyone knows what this pub represents." +Restaurant,Date of visit: February 2016,Middle East,United Arab Emirates,Emirate of Dubai,"Dubai, United Arab Emirates",ATROCIOUS!! DISCRIMINATION AND OFFENSIVE!!,"Excited to hang out on a Ladies night and have a drink with my friends All of us of African descent we decided to go to Stables just a walking distance from our work place. We climbed the entrance the stairs with excitement, upon approaching the door, the ""Hostess"" immediately ask us LADIES, WHERE ARE YOUR BOYFRIEND'S"" we giggle thinking its a joke so we want to proceed, then the Security says unfortunately there is ""A new rule"" couples only!! Ironically at the same time it is LADIES NIGHT! We tried to explain we work in hospitality few blocks away even showed our company card but he said he cannot let us in unless we have men or Face card. While thinking of a our next plan we stepped away and 2 ladies non Africans walked without being asked anything, we let that pass and few minutes later 2 more ladies as well as Non African went in without being questioned so my friend goes back to ask what is happening and the Hostess said she knew some of them. Every bar or restaurant might have its policy you name it but never has it been on a race! Clearly unless we are missing some detail the blocking was PURELY on RACISM GROUNDS and unfortunately at this Century and in a Metropolitan City as Dubai that would happen. We thought of calling DTCM but things such as DISCRIMINATION comes from within the person. It was HUMILIATING given that we talked to them with all the RESPECT but none given back. And the essence of a LADIES NIGHT is for ladies to hangout together and enjoy each others company! That is why is is called ladies night, so next time you want to use a door policy let it not contradict with your theme of the day! If there was a rating lower than TERRIBLE, it would have best described the situation. I would not advice any of my friends!" +Restaurant,Date of visit: December 2015,Middle East,United Arab Emirates,Emirate of Dubai,"Dubai, United Arab Emirates",Racist bar ,"I went to the bar wearing my hat and they allowed me in, then one of the security guys came to me asking me to remove the hat I refused as I saw another guy wearing his hat , he asked both of us to go to the security office, then I gave him my hat after a while I saw the other guy coming wearing his hat !!!!!

I really don't recommend this restaurant." +Restaurant,Date of visit: January 2014,Asia,China,Shanghai Region,"Shanghai, China","Belligerent staff, mediocre duck, dirty atmosphere. Beware!","I do not know where to begin...I'm speechless. Absolutely the worst service I've ever experienced in my life. The manager of the establishment who is also the head chef even came out to insinuate that American's were not welcomed! Due to his inept management, the third plate of duck I ordered the emperor duck it has 3 different dishes came out to us 1 HOUR later than it was supposed to! Even after the duck was roasted and the first two servings were eaten it took an hour for them to serve the last dish.When we refused to pay for it because we didn't believe it was our same duck if you've ever ordered Peking Duck before you would know that the duck is cut and served three different ways. He became belligerent and made racist undertones in his words and attitude. I didn't even mention that that the duck was already cold and wasn't even that good.He lied and stated that it was our fault for not informing them that we had moved tables when clearly the waitress had known at the beginning that we had moved and where we had moved to. I even brought the waitress out to prove me right and when I was trying to explain to him about his error, we argued and he says he doesn't ever want us back and they don't welcome foreigners like us. We got into a yelling match, the busboy, belligerent chef/manager and other unknown restaurant male staff/posse/henchman starts getting physical. They insult my American wife and claimed I was unpatriotic I'm Asian. All we wanted was a nice meal. I've never been so insulted and shocked in my life over a meal that they had screwed up on.The waitresses were trying to calm the situation but the chef, and various male staff were atrocious with unbelievable animosity towards foreigners. They made it a racial issue when it was clearly their inept service and food that we were complaining about.Their duck wasn't even that good and definitely not worth the USD80 that we paid. I have had much cheaper and better in Guangzhou and Beijing, respectively! Never, ever had such a horrible experience at any eating establishment! These guys give Chinese restaurants a bad name.If I could give them NO rating I would.This is the most unprofessional, poor excuse for a restaurant. The head chef who seems to be a part owner is arrogant, a racist and belligerent." +Restaurant,Date of visit: January 2014,Asia,China,Shanghai Region,"Shanghai, China",Unbelievable racist establishment!!!,"I would NEVER go back to this restaurant and would advise anyone to avoid going here at all costs. These people are liars, con artists, and DANGEROUS to be around especially when it comes to foreigners. First, my husband and I go to be seated and they sit us next to the kitchen doors. I saw a row of tables open by the windows and I requested to be seated there. We were told that those were reservation only seating. So, we took the table next to the kitchen door and ordered duck liver, and the ""Emperor Duck"" which is 392RMB. We were told it would take 45 minutes for the duck to be cooked which was fine by us. After we had been sitting and chatting for almost 30 minutes I realized the tables by the windows I requested earlier were still open. We asked another waiter and they said that you did not have to reserve those seats and that they were open. Long story short after a lot of talking we got reseated where I first wanted to be. Although our waitress was very unhappy about it and tried to convince us to stay at our table. The duck skin came out and they served us at our new table. Yet, they didn't bring us our wraps to wrap the skins in. We had to wait a long period of time so by the time it got to our table our duck skin was cold. I wasn't too happy about that but decided to let it go. Then, we waited ONE HOUR for the rest of our duck dishes to come. If anyone has had Peking duck before they know that is waaaayyy too long for the rest of the duck to be prepared considering it's already cooked. By the time they had brought it to our table after multiple requests my husband and I were fed up. We asked for the manager and complained. We weren't even sure if that was the same duck we had ordered and it was already cold when it came out. Eventually, after making no headway with the manager the head chef came out. He was incredibly arrogant and told us ""It's not his problem."" He gave my husband, who is Chinese, the feel that he did not like foreigners I'm American. When I tried to say that this treatment was unacceptable he started slapping his chest and yelling ""CHINA, CHINA, CHINA!!"" so I knew he was a racist. In over a year of living in China I've never seen such blatant racism. By that time my husband and I knew we were going to get nowhere with people this ignorant. After we paid our check my Husband told the head chef that he gave Chinese people a bad name and that his behavior was completely out of line. Then, the head chef along with a few other kitchen workers ATTACKED US!! They literally started shoving, pulling, screaming, cursing it was absolute chaos. They were screaming at my husband saying he wasn't Chinese and that foreigners were not welcome in their establishment. Some of the waitresses were trying to hold some of the men back but they kept lunging at us and grabbing us. I had to keep shoving people off of me and my husband and we kept telling them to get their hands off of us. Some of the kitchen workers were taking off their jackets and screaming cuss words at us threatening violence against us. Even when we left they followed us downstairs and outside! But, the waitresses and a couple of the men that worked there got in the way and gave us enough time to leave.I have never been treated with such disrespect and hate here in China. These people are the worst of the worst! I'm surprised they haven't had a lawsuit. Not to mention, the food is barely mediocre the duck skin was not crispy and it was overpriced for the quality you get. There are plenty other Peking Duck places in Shanghai I would NOT go here if I were you. They will try to con you and will lie through their teeth. They are flat out DANGEROUS to foreigners. When they followed us outside I wasn't sure what they were going to try to do to us. The people that work there are unpredictable and you are NOT SAFE if you dispute your meal. This was just beyond belief....." +Restaurant,Date of visit: August 2018,Europe,France,Grand Est,unknown,if you hate racism and racist attitudes please read,"We were in this restaurant for dinner as a family. We were four adults and a baby 1.5 years old. We ordered three pizzas, greeen salad, wine and beer. We just had our dinner and it started to rain. The lady who is serving invited everyone inside except us. At first we did not care the rain. But then it was raining a lot. One of us with baby got inside and asked for a napkin to dry the baby. They did not bother themselves giving us a napkin. My cousin took several napkins from an empty table. Our babys bag was on the chair outside. The serving lady took the bag and throw it away without telling us anything. We were shocked. I told her she can not do it. They were so rude and their attitude were so racist. The chef talked to us and tried to make it up. Yes their pizzas were good. But their attitude was so awful. It was a terrible experience. We were tourist and asked them to call the police for foreigners. Because we said we are not paying the check. They pretend like they dont understand English. These kind of racist attitudes make the world uglier place to live. They were extremely unfriendly to a family with a baby." +Restaurant,Date of visit: April 2012,Europe,France,ProvenceAlpesCote d'Azur,Moscow,Terrible and racist,"Worst restaurant experience we ever had. Everything was fine until they brought entrecote. Entrecote wasn't medium rare as ordered, was more like a rubber, very dry. Waiter was informed 5 minutes later after he brought it about that dryness and that 5 minutes delay was the reason they refused to change it or not to include it in the bill. We spoke to their manager who very soon started provoking us by saying racist things. Maybe it is normal for them, but not for us, we won't tolerate racism in any form. So my best advise is not to visit them under any circumstances, not worth itp.s.waiter was ok, but their manager is a racist one" +Restaurant,Date of visit: March 2018,Europe,Serbia,Vojvodina,unknown,Great place,"Wonderful ambience, cant relate to past reviews about racism, wonder about reviewers honesty.

We had just arrived in Novi Sad and decided to go and eat at a restaurant with good reviews. We arrived at 9.30PM, the waiter in his late forties, short black hear asked us where we came from we said Greece, although we were one Belgian and three Greeks. Apparently, the waiter does not like Greeks so he started shouting with every order: ""wine for the yunani"", ""water for the yunani..."" The food was really mediocre, but okay, not too bad. This would have just been an average experience were it not for the fact that things went really downhill when we asked for the bill. The bill was 4800. We gave 5000. After a while, the waiter 'asked' if we wanted change, we hesitated a bit he had really been 100 unprofessional and rude/racist and we should be even given credit for considering it after which he decided not to wait for our reply and started making a scene, shouting that because we are greedy Greeks we can get our 200 dinars back and get the hell out in five minutes, although he had brought us half a litre of wine five minutes earlier. But we did leave, our first positive impressions of this beautiful city scattered by a frustrated racist.I have maybe visited 1500 different places in my life, but this waiter nailed it. My worst experience ever! I felt insulted on behalf of my fellow Greeks. We showed our disgust when leaving the place, but no other member of the staff cared a bit either. The owner was absent.And really, the food's not worth it either. We had, among other things, the 1800 dinar speciality of the house, a really mediocre mixed grill for two. Nothing to get excited about, apart from the French fries.The local red wine was excellent though." +Restaurant,Date of visit: October 2018,Europe,France,IledeFrance,"London, United Kingdom",Racist bar.

We were in Paris for a hen weekend 10 girls all dressed to impress no tackiness, nobody was drunk all well behaved. The first taxi arrived and some of our party was waiting outside the club they were told the club was full. When we arrived in the second taxi the doorman basically stuck his head in our taxi and said you might as well stay in the taxi and go elsewhere we are fully booked. At that point we were like not a problem we still need to get out to get to our friends and wait for the other taxi to arrive. As we were standing outside we noticed that there were people coming out and said as people are coming out can we not go in as they come out, the doorman said no its not possible the bar was full and there is no room. we said okay fine not a problem but then right in front of us he let a group of people in of the street that just arrived. He didnt ask them if they had a reservation or a table nothing just let them in. we asked him why he let them in he just ignored us and told us to go away and that we should leave the road and take a right somewhere! Finally our third taxi arrived and he started telling us that we had to move on and go away just to get away from the club. By now we had seen other people being let in thats when we realised the problem we were 10 Indian girls hence the reason there was no entry for us. When we challenged this he just shrug his shoulders the other door man must have heard us and said no its a private party well if that was the case where was the guest list in his hand And how comes they were letting people in from the street without asking them why they were thereI dont like to blame anything on racism but this club and there door staffs attitude really dampened our night and the start of our trip to Paris.

NOBODY was paying the pizza before, everybody was eating and then paying, including me and my husband. The attendant was humiliating the guy who kept himself calm and superior all the time I could never do that. Only after the boy showed that he had money, the attendant apologized and then after the guy pay for it he gave the slice of pizza and said that he misunderstood that the guy was begging.

Blaspheming for us to return to our country not being an American either. Again being prejudiced, this time with foreigners.The guy stayed there and ate his calzone more expensive and showed to this attendant how superior and polite he was.

He gave attitude and raised his voice whenever we tried to communicate. Then when the bill was out, he asked for tips very directly, but we found out that 2 dishes listed were not what we had, but more expensive ones. So we complaint. He seemed very annoyed when we asked to fix that, then he told us to just deduce the money ourselves then pay, without fixing the bill. We found it very impolite and suspicious, so we wanted to check the bill again, cuz we had about 10 dishes in total. He argued and gave us very impolite words, asking us to pay quickly then leave. Then he said ""Those Chinese people"" behind our back, in French which we understood, not to mention all the noise and dishes slamming he made while cleaning the table in front of us.

That is ofcourse never allowed." +Restaurant,Date of visit: May 2014,Europe,France,IledeFrance,"Paris, France",overpriced for average food and racist manager,"As a food critique for an international wellknown newspaper, I was asked to review this Vietnamese restaurant in my neighbourhood. About the foodWell, compared with Vietnamese restaurants in other Parisian neighbourhoods for example, the wellknown 13th arrondissement, food served here is averageI am wondering why it recommended by MichelinIn terms of price, you pay twice or three times as much for an entre as you would in other districts.Now, about the ""racist manager""I am Chinese and 8 months pregnant. We were sitting in a tight corner and needed to ask a lady at the next table to move her chair so that I could have some space to get out. The lady was very kind and got up out of her chair to let me pass. All of a sudden, the manager rushed in and said to me ""You should not disturb my customers like that, you can move your table to get out"". We had paid our bill, by his logic, does that mean we are no longer customers! Then he turned to the lady and said to her""What do you expect from a Chinese!"" ! The lady looked embarrassed by him, me and my family shocked! We left in disbelief. A restaurant can only survive and thrive with returning customersbeing a food lover and critique, I have travelled the world and eaten at restaurantsand this is a new LOW.

When we walked in, the hostess with a sneering tone asked us if we had made a reservation, and when we said no, she said ""well we're fully booked until February next year"". I understand if a restaurant is fully booked and cannot seat a party, but she acted as if we were insulting her personally by daring to even enter its doors without a booking.It was honestly one of the worst experiences I have had at a restaurant in my life and by reading the other reviews I wonder if there was a racial element to this behavior.

Last time I went there, there was no hostess at the entrance and my husband was already having beer at our reserved table. So, my friend and Iboth Asian waived at him and started to walk over. Then a blond lady behind the bar yelled at us loudly and rudely enough to turn everyones head to stop. I pointed at the table and told herin German that my husband was already there, but she just rolled her eyes and shook her head, murmuring angrily to people around. Throughout the dinner, I watched other people walking in to join their tables. They were not stopped or treated rudely. Reading other negative reviews, it seems pretty clear why she gave us such a special attention. Shame. Our food was good as usual, the waitress was very friendly, but Id rather eat at many other restaurants in Berlin that do not tolerate such racism as their folksy atmosphere." +Restaurant,Date of visit: June 2018,Europe,Germany,Berlin,Indonesia,"Good food, service not as bad as we thought","After reading some reviews about how rude and racist the people here are, to be honest I was expecting the worst.

They still pretended not to hear and see that I was right in front of them, so I repeated myself a couple of times. Then, the waitresses started saying some stuff in german and their faces dropped and turned to me and said ""NO! We're all full."" It was only 6PM and there were only 2 tables full.

The food arrived by 6pm, and it was served to us by the first waitress with the long face. She proceeded to pass us 3 wooden chopsticks whilst laughing as she thought, just because we looked Asian, would not know how to use the fork and knife to eat the pork knuckles.....We were fairly upset by that but went on to eat the heavily salted pork knuckles nonetheless. Then two other western ladies arrived, also without reservation we knew this as they also spoke English to the lady with the long face and was given a large table to have their dinner. No warning of them needing to vacate by a certain hour.

Then a few minutes later he came back to serve the other table next to us, without coming to check with us at all. We told another waiter about this, and he was kind enough to come and cover our table for him. After 10 minutes he came back with an angry red face, we said its okay our order is taken already, and without saying a word he left. We said how can you be so rude, he just replied with: you're having a vacation, rush for what. And then he left again. The whole time he was smiling and polite with the other tables of Germans, which forces us to make a conclusion that he is acting this way towards Asians.

I was shocked by her comment but accepted the table that was offered what the waitress didn't know was that the friends we were travelling with are Chinese when I told them about the comment they were upset by the racist remark. In actual fact the group of about 10 Asians in the restaurant were not at all noisy, they were just enjoying the wine food did not seem to be disturbing any of the other diners.

The first impression when entering the restaurant was good. It's a really intimate place and the atmosphere is nice. However, that was the only positive part of the evening. 1. They refused to serve tap water but offered cut price bottled water for 1.50. This was presented in a jug and was clearly tap water. Charging 1.50 for tap water is not OK2. I asked for a Quattro Formaggi with onions and garlic I LOVE onions and garlic. They point blank refused to add onions and garlic because 'we're a traditional Italian restaurant and we don't want to spoil the food'. I said this was ridiculous because for me, the onions and garlic will enhance the food but it fell on deaf ears. I was irritated but said 'OK, I'll take it as it is'. I ordered in German but started complaining to my husband about it in English because naturally I switch to my native language when I'm annoyed! and the waiter in turn started speaking English back to me.3.

This definitely wasn't what had happened and I couldn't believe that a restaurant would rather not serve somebody food than give them onions and garlic!4. When I complained to the manager he said he couldn't see a problem and the waiter was right not to give me onions and garlic and it was a misunderstanding that they didn't give me any food. That may be the case but what he went on to say really upset me as it was blatantly RACIST . He said in a very nasty way 'what we need in this restaurant is only people who speak good German'. I am 100 sure he was not only referring to me being an English speaker but to me being black I was the only black person in the restaurant.They were totally unapologetic and had absolutely no idea about customer service.

We went back in and checked about the status of our remaining orders. The lady at the counter seemed clueless as she thought we ordered only two entrees. She asked our waitress about our order and sure enough, it said on her diary that there were 4 entrees. At this time, it struck our lovely waitress that hasn't put in our remaining entrees order to the kitchen. She told us that ""she forgot to inform her colleague"". At this point we just gave up. We cancelled our remaining entrees and asked for the check. Then they proceeded to charge us for 3 entrees!! It was terrible, incompetent service that bordered on being racist.

When the third group of people got their food we started asking for ours and they kept saying ""it's coming"". Well it took 50 minutes to get most of the food and mine chicken broccoli never came so I told them to cancel it and ate some from my girls. The two women laughed and continued on their way. There was another couple of East Indian descent that also was not served and left annoyed. Our observance is that if you were not white you were treated differently. When I paid the bill I asked the Owner female Asianif she knew what the word ""prejudice"" meant she looked at me and smiled and said ''YES"". It is a shame that after reading the reviews below that the nothing has been done because Mandarin Chinese has been around for a long time and this blatant racism continues. Well I am an attorney and I will continue to make calls and do what I can to shut this lady and her restaurant down. What a travesty to have this restaurant in a nice area. We have never experience this anywhere in the world or in United States and my three daughters were really taken back by this occurrence. Price was not an issue here as we have ate in more expensive restaurants but just the way we were treated. I would like to hear comments from other vacationers who had similar experiences so I can start a campaign to close this place down.

We couldn't even get in to sit because of limited space so we requested to move to the next table. The owner just yelled at us to get out instead and boasted that he is the owner.

She kept saying 'pourquoi' why in french and shaking her head. I could see that her behavior was making the other guests uncomfortable.Eventually, she just shrugged and pointed to the worst table in the restaurant, right by the entrance, even though most tables more than 10 were empty. I am pretty sure they weren't reserved since it was already quite late for dinner. She kept avoiding us when we wanted to speak to her again.

We then wanted to pay at least the wine we had out of respect and he, still laughing and mocking us, asked us how much tap water we had as he wanted to make us pay for that.While talking to other people during the discussion with him we realised that the experience has been bad for them too.

To make the experience special I had called and made a reservation. As this was over the phone,the person who took my reservation asked me if I would like a cake as well. I inquired about the cost and was told it was complimentary. On double checking and getting a confirmation that it was free i proceeded with asking them to proceed with it.When the bill arrived I was surprised to see a 50 Euro charge for a cake. I politely asked the waiter and told him how they mentioned over the phone that it was complementary. Several fine dining restaurants around the world offer a similar service at no extra cost hence my surprise over the cost especially since I double checked it was for free.A few mins later the owner of the restaurant came over to me and started screaming at me publicly in front of the other guests saying I was a liar and a crook and threatened to call the police on me as he insisted there was a 50 Euro cost to this and denied that the restaurant had told me anything about it being free. He proceeded to tell me never to come to the restaurant again, that he had my contact details with him because I made the reservation and that he would tell the whole town that I was a crook. I was in complete shock about being publicly insulted for something that the restaurant confirmed to me twice that they were now completely denying. How can someone like this get away with publicly insulting someone and falsely accuse them. I ended up paying the 50 euros because He literally threatened me in front of my kids and they were terrified. He then followed me to the street screaming after me shouting racist abuses in French even after I paid the amount.Please do not go to this restaurant.

I also had a salad with some scallops. My lunch mate had a turkey burger. By the time we stood up, I could tell that something was not sitting just right. I can't put my finger on it, but the food just did not taste great. I thought the service was very attentive although at one point when I asked my server to let the person shucking the clams decide what kind I should have that day as they often know what is freshest, best etc, she basically said that he does not know anything and that he shucks what she tells him. The fact that the guy did not seem to speak English did not sit well with me as her comment felt a bit racist. I have no doubt he knew A LOT about those clams . Anyway, its better than eating the fast food that is down there and I would go back to have a drink at the long bar when you come in, but maybe not sit down for a full meal again .

Net/net: this place is a terrific value on top of outstanding food, servedup by genuinely nice people. Another review called out this place as racist because ""it crossed their mind that a waitress mistake was to benefit anglo's"". Give me a break.

We don't know the owners, we just enjoy/support this and all Capitan restaurants working hard to make a living for their families. But, the racist comment by some knucklehead shouldn't be allowed to stand unanswered. Makes you wonder who the racist is in this case. I guess they don't dine out enough to know how to call the Mgr to their table to discuss an issue get it quietly resolved Interestingly, Oso Grill management could have responded to that unfair, bogus review/comment but they are too nice. Not me. Enough said. Regardless, we drive 60mile round trips 34 times/week to eat at Oso Grill Renee's down the street. Both are extraordinary, and rare finds in any little country town.

Also not such a fancy place after all, they are meant to be a creole restaurant ''lakaz'' which means homely and relaxed as creole way of life but yet they require dressing code.

It also happened that I did not have cash on me and the guy at the entrance asked me to go inside, pay the entrance fees and bring back the credit card ticket to him.. This has been one of the most insulting evenings I had..Anyways, the ambiance is very good inside and I would still advise my guests to go there.It is just a pity to consider how locals can be considered as third class clientele.I hope they improve on the mindsets." +Restaurant,Date of visit: July 2015,United States,Alabama AL,Jasper,unknown,stiff drinks,"One of the best Chimichangas I have ever had.

The receptionist said ""YOU have a reservation with US"". When I insisted that I did and that my date was parking the car, they said the couldn't understand my last name and that maybe I didn't have a reservation. I spelled out a 3 letter last name and they still gave me looks and doubted me. I finally pointed it out on their screen. My date and I were the only 2 people of color in the whole restaurant. The British server who was otherwise humorous and friendly with the table next to us was very short and rude to us, even when I tried to make some conversation with him. On top of what felt like some racist resistance toward my date and myself, the service was extremely poor and totally unacceptable.There was significant delay between our fish to meat and the server came and apologized and poured extra wine into our glasses. My date said he did not want any more wine and he poured it into his glass anyway which was incredibly insulting. They had a fixed multicourse menu and our server brought out one course twice, took it back and completely forgot another course. After bring served dessert, we reminded them about our missing course and he rolled his eyes and questioned us about the missing course as if we were lying. Finally they realized something was wrong and changed our server. The 2nd serve questioned us again and said HE did bring us that course. I told him he has never even been to our table. He then realized that he confused us with someone else and gave us our squab course AFTER dessert. He did apologize and owned their mistake. However, after we paid the full amount which was close to 600, they ""cancelled"" our reservation on OpenTabel so that we can't review their terrible service on OT. In sum: 1 They didn't bring the right courses 2 they missed a course 3 they tried to accuse us of lying about the missing course 4 they retroactively deleted our reservation on OT to avoid a negative review and yet our charges still remain. If they want to retroactively cancel our reservation so we can't leave a review on OpenTabel, they should also not charge us. It is evident that Ambience has fraudulent intentions, racist tendencies and terrible service and their business should be reported to the BBB. We have contacted OT to help resolve this unethical issue as well." +Restaurant,Date of visit: February 2017,Asia,India,Kerala,unknown,A place which is racist,"I visited this place today with my family. While we entered the guard fellow Indian who was a Malayali tells us not to use the cafe as a passage. It is because the cafe is linked to other shop which further leads to an exit to another street. With due respect considering he was an elderly man we obliged and we're strolling in the cafe. Infact I told my husband that let's eat something in this cafe like tea, cakes etc. As it is a Jewish place and might have something different to offer. Hence we entered inside and we're seeing stuff around. We also saw many foreigners at that place who were not given any instructions at the gate by the same guard, however we didn't react to it. We just stopped at the clothes counter to take a look and the same guard again came and told my husband not to use it as a passage. He specifically pointed out at us. There were many people all foreigners to be precise around us who were either eating or strolling it in the cafe but he made it a point and only told us. My husband and I were very upset and we told the workers there that this is purely racist and he being an Indian himself cannot be doing this. Kerala is apparently God's own country but it was quite disheartening and upsetting to come across such behaviour.I urge people of the cafe to please expel the guard who has absolutely no sense of talking to people or instructing them. He is purely racist and a rude individual. I wish I could give a negative rating, however TripAdvisor doesn't allow it. My mother in law got scared and asked us not to argue which is what many of us tend to do. We made it a point to tell all the workers about it and hope they understood. But the guard towards the end yelled back at us. In a country like India which is multilingual and respects all kind of communities, welcomes outsiders this kind of racist behaviour should not have any place. Also you wouldn't want to visit a place which takes pride in the superiority of white skin and intends to make you feel like an alien in your country." +Restaurant,Date of visit: October 2015,Asia,Singapore,Singapore,"Perth, Australia",Racist staff,"Recently was staying on Sentosa Island and took a group of six here to be rudely treated like second class visitors. Firstly, the staff were racist, we were the only no Asians in the restaurant. The woman reluctantly showed us to the table and gave us one menu for 6 people. 15 minutes later we still had no one ask us if we wanted drinks, 5 minutes later I got up to walk out. 20 mins and no one served us. My wife attempted to get eye contact with staff and they all walked past the table looking the opposite way, by this stage other customers were looking at us because they could see what was going on. When I got up to walk out all the staff disappeared out the back, I have never seen staff move so quick. I have never been treated like this in my life and have travelled in all types of countries. In my country as a visitor you would not be treated like this. And Australians get accused of being racist, yeah right ""who is the racist"".I will never recommend this place to anyone.

The ""restaurant"" looks very odd and we decided to rather sit outside and were placed under a shade cloth canopy in the car park. This was clearly started as a takeaway and then developed into a ""restaurant"". The menu is decent and we ordered pizzas. While waiting for out meal to arrive, the owner I guess came to chat to us. I guess he assumed that we were also racist because we are white and he made some very racist comments. I was very tempted to leave at that point but rather chose to stay and tell the kids that we would not be coming back as we do not want to support such racist people. The pizzas were fairly good, but could not make up for the seating and the owner.

Of course that this establishment should not tolerate hawkers offering goods to their clients if they don't want to, but in sending them away, they should show respect for their basic human dignity. The language the young waiter used was so rude, aggressive and racist! Even the waiter himself acknowledged to the old man that he was racist! It was a heartbreaking scene. I am ashamed not to have intervened. No one from the people sitting at the terrace bothered to say anything! I was with my baby and my mother who didn't feel well from the heat and at that moment I estimated that it was better to stay away from the argument.

A few moments later, a different, much older and, unhealthier gentleman wearing thick yet trendy glasses arrived. He told us we were not welcome and that he would not serve us... The original bartender looked at us, then him, then us... all with a confused look on his face. We were sober, well dressed, and polite. There was zero reason to not be served. In fact 2 of the guys said that was the first time they had been refused service. It was very strange, as we are literally professional athletes and are always greated with open arms. In fact that is the reason I am writing this review, because we never do, and did not identify ourselves. The only conclusion we could come up with was either the guy was a racist as 2 of the 15 guys are brown. Or he hated the Trunmp talk coming from our bench.

The Croatian security guard smirked at the only foreign member of our party Turkish and told him that he was not letting him in because hed drank too much after drinking 2 pints. He then smirked again and said well done to him in Turkish. The Croatian bouncer was also flanked by his mates who sniggered and joked in their native language with himpresumably at our expense. The manager arrived and confirmed that our Turkish colleague was indeed sober, and that he should have let him in and when I said that the bouncer was racist the manager said sher hes Croatian, how could he be racist Because foreigners cant be racist apparently... perhaps he needs a lesson in geopolitical historyThis is one of those places where they dont care about customers because they will always get their money from the next person who comes along.

We are very humble people and when we politely said thank you anyway after asking if they had an item on the menu, she still managed to whinge out loudly to her co workers and tried to humiliate us. Absolutely disgusting and immature of her considering we were nothing but patient and polite with her to begin with. Not sure if she was having a bad day or not but she really didnt need to take it out on 2 innocent people just wanting to eat some seafood.

There are some aspects that need improvement but it is a very enjoyable experience overall. We used the large beds on both occasions in the VIP area and the ambience is superb. The swimming pool is an oasis in the hot sunshine. It can only be used by those in the VIP area. Any others trying to use it are swiftly invited to move. The ambience is very similar to the clubs in St Tropez and very relaxing. My girlfriend is mixed race and we encountered no racism at all despite the earlier review. Having said that she is extremely beautiful being an international model. Food was excellent as was the wine list. Service on the second day was attentive. There were some downsides. First, there was no music either live or piped. On the second day we went, there was some music but it derived from the radio. Other beach clubs on the Nice beach had DJs or live music which sounded funky and appropriate for a club. The lavatories are less than clean. They are very poor and grubby. They need immediate attention. We joked about catching herpes but there was a grain of truth in our banter. We used the four poster bed but there was no veil on the top of the bed so sunshine streamed in. The club utilised a single parasol but it was insufficient to cover the size of the bed. A simple veil that can be moved would cost cents and I fail to understand that the veil is missing. The service was variable. We have used the Radisson Beach several times which is excellent but the service at Cocoon was not good especially on Day One. Bearing in mind we had paid a premium to use the VIP section, many times we had to find the beach boy to serve us. He was a bit grumpy and not amenable to serving us in spite of the large tip we gave him. The food was good although the menu was not very comprehensive.

She had had an attitude since the beginning and even tossed the plate. A big argument followed asking the reason for her rage and the irrational answer was to tell us to leave and then screaming beyond unacceptable insults related to origin arguments with swearings. Left us impressed and with a horrible impression. Such a pity and deception to have such a bad impression after living for several years in berlin on the past and coming to visit.What a pitty! I shouldn't have paid after all this show and even told us we were not welcome the next day.The owner should sack this horrible person, she'll end up ruining the business." +Restaurant,Date of visit: November 2016,United States,New York NY,New York City,unknown,"okay music, awful service, racist employees","This is an okay music venue, with good artists playing occasionally. However, the service is awful and it cannot be excused because they offer occasional good music. Last night we went there for a concert, which was really good. We were six people on the table, and they got the check mixed up which, in retrospect, was predictable. I wished we had paid separately for every drink we had upfront, but we had not, and they ended up charging us for three extra beers. When we checked about five times among each other, we told the waitress she might have made a mistake, yet she never even considered that there could be a small possibility that the addition could be wrong. She ended up letting her supervisor know, who was even more impossible. The supervisor, called upon to ""handle the situation"", ended up telling us right away ""I will not deal with this, just get your money together and pay"". When I tried to explain to her what could have gone wrong, for the third time, she said that she had been working in the place for ten years and there was absolutely no way that any employee could have made a mistake, and patronizingly told me that ""Probably you are not aware of it, but there is tax and gratuity included"". When I told her even when these are kept in mind there is something wrong, she told me in all of her ten years she has only seen Jews behaving this way, which was, obviously, openly racist. I must say at this point we were speaking Turkish, so she probably had no problem being completely discriminatory, since no nonTurk would be able to understand what she was saying. This is as hypocritical as it is racist.Do not go to this place, it has at least one employee that is openly antiSemitic and the whole place clearly rips people off. If you really like a band playing here, either do not drink anything or pay for all of your drinks when you buy them, do not put them in a tab.

Since sweden is in the eu, I don't see any reason why national IDs should not be valid...Furthermore, we went to other bishops arms, in kiruna and lulea, but we have never been asked to show our IDs to enter.I add that we also told him we only wanted to eat dinner, not to drink, but he didn't let us enter anyway.

You can not expect large group to sit silence and eat their meal and go. I would never recommend this place to anyone as the Manager has no customer etiquette. I felt it was a racist remark. Very dissapointing evening. We as respected people paid for what we ordered and just left. We were at point of ordering more food but at remarks of Manager to us we decided to just leave.

As you would expect in a group of 14 there is bound to be some level of noise. However the restaurant was quite full and there was general noise coming from all the tables. After half an hour or so the manager came back saying we are making his customers leave. That was a false accusation as no one had left on our account. We were appalled at his behaviour and the way he was speaking to us, it almost felt personal. When we said we would never come back after such treatment from him he said in exact words "" we don't need people like you here."" What's that supposed to mean!!! This is definitely a racist comment and no one should treat their customers in this manner. He was extremely rude. Even the waitresses were embarrassed with the managers behaviour and they kept apologising for his rudeness. May I also add this is not the first time we have had rude attitude from this restaurant. This will be the last time any of us will ever set foot in this place. How this person has become a manager is beyond me.

Me and a few friends visit Dolce Vita for a birthday brunch. A great time was had by all.2. After brunch, we head to the outside area to enjoy more drinks. Upon entering the outside area, two older white gentleman see me and my friends and hastily move to another area by the hotel rooftop pool.3. Shortly after moving to another area, the two gentleman summon the manager of Dolce Vita and then engage in a heated discussion whilst pointing at me directly throughout.4. After concluding the discussion with the two older white gentleman, the manager and another member of staff come over to me and inform me that me and my friends will no longer be served drinks. Also, once we finished he drinks we currently had, we had to leave the premises immediately.5. I ask point blank if the reason we are being asked to leave is because the two older white gentleman have an issue with me The manager and his colleague smirk and shrug their shoulders. I ask more pointedly ""are you asking me to leave these premises because I am black"" Again, both colleagues smirk and then repeat their request to leave the premises.After this exchange I left the premises if only to ensure that I myself did not escalate the situation by reacting angrily in any way.So to all my fellow travellers, restaurant enthusiasts or anyone simply looking for a nice restaurant or hotel to visit:1. If you are black like myself, DO NOT visit this restaurant! It has already been made clear to me that anyone who shares the same skin tone as myself will not be welcome.2. If you are a person who believes in equality and the fair treatment of all fellow human beings, DO NOT visit this restaurant! Unfortunately, this establishment does not believe in the same value.3. If you are looking for a hotel to stay at whilst in Singapore, DO NOT stay at the Mandarin Oriental Singapore. I have relayed this feedback directly to the management at both Dolce Vita and the Mandarin Oriental Singapore.Singapore is a wonderful place to live and my experience at Dolce Vita is not typical of my daily experience in this wonderful city. I really do not like having to write a review such as this. But the only way to change the attitudes of racist and ignorant people is to call out their behaviour at the outset.I hope nobody goes through the same kind of experience I have gone through.

After ordering drinks, we sat at one of the outside tables in front of the restaurant and looked at the menu. Nothing on the menu seemed appealing to me as I didnt feel like eating meat. While the rest of our group ordered sausages and sandwiches, I walked across the street and got a very good falafel. Upon returning to Frankfurts Bocanegra to rejoin our group in the outdoor terrace, the owner, who apparently saw me cross the street for a falafel, approached our table and started ranting that I had supported terrorism by buying Arabic food. When I and others in our group responded that we didnt agree with his perspective, the owner became very aggressive and started yelling at us, using highly inappropriate racist and islamophobic language that cannot be included in a Tripadvisor comment. Ironically, the owner stated that we should be supporting Spanish food. This confrontation went on for about 10 minutes before the owner left, literally screaming at us. After finishing the meal, two members of our party entered to pay. Just to be sure, one of the members of our group asked a waiter who the man was that had approached our table.

I have ordered online with other restaurants and it seem like it is a problem so I would rather call and be on hold. Dining there was pretty good. I've been to both China Towns in LA and San Francisco and I feel that this restaurant is just as good. Its better to go on a crowded night as the dim sum is always fresh and the carts are plentiful.

When we got there, they sat us down and they seemed polite but I left fuming and disappointed. We order a lot of food quite a few dishes and a bottle of wine and a few beers. We got our apps quickly and we wanted another bottle of hot sauce so we took it from the table beside us. The owner freaked out and said, ""No. Its for this table."" So we asked the owner for another bottle of hot sauce since we were a table of 6 and we like our hot sauce. He said, ""No, you already have one."" We answer, ""Can we have another one for the table"" It's hot sauce. It's a restaurant. This SHOULD BE NO BIG DEAL. He gave us a dirty look. Thankfully, the server problem solved and brought us small plates to pour the hot sauce and leave it at the other end of the table. This definitely left a bad taste in our mouth.The rest of the food took forever to come out almost one hour AND they forgot a dish that we had ordered. The food was meh. Pho was not good and the other dishes were salty.But the worst was yet to come. We noticed that all the new tables were receiving complimentary drinks and we had not. So i asked the owner, ""What are they drinking"" He said, ""I'm giving our complimentary local wine/champagne."" I mentioned that we had not received any and his exact words I still remember were, ""Asians don't like this drink."" I was kind of left speechless and all I said was, ""You don't know if we would like it or not and it would be nice to ask."" We are actually from Canada so maybe our taste buds are different. Anyways, the food is meh. The area is dark and dingy. The service is not bad there were a couple servers who were actually so kind and apologized for the owner's behaviours.

We walked in and they baisically gestured without acknowledging us and grunting to pick a table but we saw the staff seat spanish people but not us. We immediately felt like we were so unwelcome. Then we sat down and when we couldnt speak much spanish they seemed very annoyed and still grunting angrily they said abruptly french German English We said we spoke english as we are from scotland. The man then returned with an english menu and slapped it down infornt of us without care. We ordered the seafood platter to begin and paella for mains this would cost us 52 euro. We wanted to celebrate our trip and one year together and wanted it to be special. The waitress came back with a 'seafood platter'. The seafood platter was NOT fresh. It was rubbery, smelt disgusting and everything was deep fried within an inch of its life. Made me feel sick so i left it. We put our cutlery on our plates awaiting the next course. The extremely rude waitress came over picked up our plates and from a standing height THREW the cutelry down on the table for each of us with an almighty crash. The other spanish folk in the restaurant did not even blink leading us to believe this was a common occurence. We felt even more unwelcome and could not believe that this was happening. We had been nothing but polite DESPITE their grotesque food and behaviour so far. The next course arrived and thoughts of gordon ramsay in his kitchen nightmares came to mind when they find old rotten food out of the back...The 'authentic' paella was like vomit, though vomit would have been nicer. It was soggy like it had been made a long time ago. I make better stuff myself! That actually is fresh and tasty. It stank, the seafood was questionable. It wasnt warm and had zero flavour. Gross. I couldnt eat it for gagging and my other half couldn't eat it all either. They came back to get the plates no eye contact no speach the worst service in the world. We wished we had just made food at our camper because we make better food in there by miles.We rejected the dessert option, payed the 52 euros PURELY because we felt so out of our comfort zone and worried about them being more nasty.

We were sitting in a tight corner and needed to ask a lady at the next table to move her chair so that I could have some space to get out. The lady was very kind and got up out of her chair to let me pass. All of a sudden, the manager rushed in and said to me ""You should not disturb my customers like that, you can move your table to get out"". We had paid our bill, by his logic, does that mean we are no longer customers! Then he turned to the lady and said to her""What do you expect from a Chinese!"" ! The lady looked embarrassed by him, me and my family shocked! We left in disbelief.

We won't go on a Thursday again, but we will return without doubt. Very friendly service. I have read another review about a lady there being racist.

Terrible attitude!!,"Went there on Tuesday late afternoon near closing time. There were no other customers on the premises. We sat in the more outdoor side on a large 2m x 2m wooden plank table as the main cafe area was closed. We were a party of 12 of Asian appearance except for my dad who is English. Our party of 12 comprised of 6 seniors over 70 years of age, 3 adults, a 5 year old, a 1 year old autistic toddler and an infant asleep in a pram. My husband in his 30s arrived in the cafe first and proceeded to fetch some table water from the fridge to settle the main party as everyone were either really old or really young and 2 nursing mothers. The lady with maroon/red hair at the main shop was already irritated and stopped my husband from what he was doing. He explained that he was just getting some water first with full intent of purchasing from the cafe 7 ice creams and 2 energy drinks. As we were finishing our ice creams. My cousins autistic 1 year old toddler climbed onto a huge wooden plank table near us and his mother took some photos of him. At this time the lady from the main cafe bursted down the aisle and shouted at toddler Get off the table, people eat on that you know! This is Australia. You dont do that here. You can go do that in China!, and hurried to leave the scene. I was browsing my phone when I heard this and called her out on it. I said Hey. That was inappropriate. There is no need to be a racist and drag county into this. She claimed that she isnt a racist. And I said why not say Korea or Japan. To which she replied they dont do that. Only people from China behave like this and then called me a racist for calling her out. I dont disagree that climbing on top of a table is bad manners but she could have just stopped at that. There is no need to take the matter to a country level. Separately, I will be reporting the incident to the Australian Human Rights Commission. This IS Australia.

We booked on line in the afternoon for the same night, a Saturday. I was surprised to see tables available at every time throughout the night, we booked for 9.30. On arrival we were told the table will be ready shortly as the previous guests were about to leave. We waited in the street and after 10 minutes they bought us a glass of prosecco each, we waited in total 30 minutes before we were taken to the table. When we sat down they refilled the glasses with a little more prosecco and then nothing. After another 30 minutes and having watched every table after us get a basket of bread I complained to the matre d, he didn't apologise but just sneered and set he would sort us out plenty of bread. A big basket arrived, followed by a waiter with another who was also sneering. We said we were OK with the one basket and to take it away. The wine and the starters arrived, now nearly 11pm, we had marinated fish and beef carpaccio, both were tasteless and not by any means exceptional, the wine was OK but at least 30 more than other places. We watched a group of waiters laughing and passing the breadbasket to one of their number who then brought it to our table, we told them to take it away and stop being so rude. A couple of minutes later we watched the same thing happen again and for the fourth time the basket was brought back by a sneering waiter. We then saw the matre d at the next table talking to the guests, pointing to us and laughing, I then told him what I thought and that an appropriate review would follow, he told us that a bad review would not affect his business as the place was always full. Trouble is he is probably right. At this point we walked out, the treatment the other guests received all Italian, was a far cry from what we got. The matre d and his staff are a disgrace to Sicily as are all racists." +Restaurant,Date of visit: July 2018,Europe,Italy,Sicily,unknown,Awful!!,"They obviously hate the english, as very rude, the service was extremely slow with no apology when everyone around where getting seen too, very sad in this day an age to behave so badly it was humiliating and on the verge of racism.

Of course it wasnt a pleasant experience, but it wasnt a big deal. But after the seller left the waiter started saying loudly racist comments such as niggr and monkey several times in Spanish. Well, I speak Spanish so I had the bad luck to hear everything he said. And when I confronted him he responden so what should I call him, and he repeatedly argued that he had right. Then another waiter came and tried to explain that the African sellers usually bothers the guests, and that the sellers should be thankful because they get food and shelter in Spain. I find this experience tremendously racist and was considering going to the police, but due to lack of time I didnt go. And about the food; I ordered a hamburger and a entrecte. The hamburger bread was completely wet and the entrecte was impossible to chew. The hamburger wasnt tasty whatsoever and it seemed cheap and fast made.

RACISTS RACISTS RACISTS! +Restaurant,Date of visit: January 2019,United States,Colorado CO,Vail,unknown,"Staff attitude problem, terrible food!","Arrogant, racist staff, unflavored food, poor food presentation, and bad drinks! No positive reply from the Staff to my review will make me go back. In Vail, there are better places to go, trust me. After reading all January 9th reviews, and with my own experience at this restaurant, let me add that having or not having an ID to order drinks, is not that critical, you just do not drink, period! But that doesnt change the terrible staff attitude, I also experienced!" +Restaurant,Date of visit: January 2019,United States,Colorado CO,Vail,"Miami, Florida",Cant believe racism in 2019!,"Let me start by saying that Ive never been so hurt and disrespected in my life...EVER! I am one not to write reviews, but after being in the receiving end of racism in 2019 I feel obligated to write one. So heres what happened...today I visited Fall Line at Vail Village with my wife and 2 other couples family and friends. When we ordered drinks my wife didnt have her ID since we were coming back from skiing and was not allowed to order. Even when we I have a scanned copy of her license. By the way shes 29 and clearly doesnt look under age. Either way, the waiter explained the policy and while we werent happy we understood that it was Colorado law. Thus, the rest of us ordered drinks and she just had water for the duration of our meal. Up until this point everything was fine. We ordered drinks and food. While we waited for our food we discussed amongst us in our native language SPANISH how things differ in regards to the policy and not accepting the scanned copy. Even a couple that didnt speak spanish sitting next to us jumped into the conversation expressing they didnt agree either with the fact they didnt serve drinks to my wife.This is where everything took an 180 degree turn for the worst...First, a staff member approached the couple next to us and told them a comment in the neighborhood of enjoy the show. The couple couldnt believe the comment and the level of racism towards us and left the restaurant. Then, while one of the couples in our group was still eating the same staff member came over to table and placed the check in front of me. To this I turned around and gave it back to her letting her know that it we were still eating and we hadnt requested the check. At that point we werent sure if was a confusion or something else. A few minutes later I left the table to the restroom and when I came back the group gave me the unpleasant news the staff once again had brought without us requesting it. We kept our composure and ordered coffee. By the way, we were NEVER offered to ordered coffee or desserts. Clearly at this point they wanted to get rid of us. I was pretty disappointed with the treatment and when we did asked for the check I asked our waiter if there was a reason why another staff had brought the check over twice without being requested. First he answer that it was probably a mistake, but when I asked again but why twice. He rudely responded that we were mocking at their policy towards ID. Yes, while we were displeased we never mocked at it as I described above. It was then that for the first time in my 33 year old life I felt what it was to be subject of RACISM because I am HISPANIC and choose to speak in my native language. Ive never in my life been so offended. To all of this they also included an automatic 20 gratuity not deserved which its not disclaimed anywhere in the place/menu. We decided to pay the bill with the unearned gratuity and just leave the place because there was no use in getting into a discussion with ignorant and racist people. It is unbelievable and sad that they treat patrons this way just because they couldnt understand a different language other than English. I truly hope ownership takes action on this matter given Vail gets quite a diverse amount of visitors from all over the world every year. I never intend to visit this restaurant again, and hope anyone reading this review hispanic or not thinks twice if they truly want to patronize a place in which racism still exist in 2019." +Restaurant,Date of visit: January 2019,United States,Colorado CO,Vail,Puerto Rico,Worst experience!

And I'm so pleased we did! The restaurant was a bit quiet when we arrived, which initially felt a bit awkward, but we got over that pretty quickly once we sat down at our table. Our waitress was absolutely lovely and we didn't have to wait for very long for our first course to arrive. I ordered some soup, and the waitress was more than happy to teach me how to drink it properly from the little pot and cup. Thank you for that!Both my boyfriend and I ordered the chef's selection of sushi, which came with ten large pieces of nigiri and six pieces of cucumber maki and was freshly made right in front of us. I definitely recommend ordering this if you're dining with someone else, because it was really fun going through our identical platters and trying everything at the same time! Who knew raw squid and octopus could be so deliciousThe only downside was the rather unimpressive dessert menu, which featured little more than ice cream. Some Japanese desserts would have been a lovely way to end the meal, but other than that, I had a fantastic experience at Momo! If I ever visit this area again, I definitely know where I'll be having my supper. It's such a shame this little gem of a restaurant is tucked away in such an obscure area of London!Also: I'd disregard the rather rude review on this page stating that the manager is racist.

We have been here three times hoping it would be different but it is the same each time. To start, there's a specials menu that is only written in Japanese and she refuses to translate. We once managed to persuade one of the junior staff to translate some of it for us.The food from the specials menu was better than that on the main menu and cheaper too! This member of staff was promptly told off by the nasty woman in charge. NonJapanese are given worse seats even when we book, their food is kept on the side longer to make it colder, and generally no smiles are given. The old woman running the show is also rude to her own staff such that there is high staff turnover and a resentment is palpable. The chairs are uncomfortable and the tables are cheap quality, giving a diner kind of feel.All of this is a huge shame because the food is excellent quality and that's why we came back a couple of times. However, portion sizes are small and two people can't really eat for under 100 without alcohol which is expensive in this part of London.Go if you're Japanese, or if you are brave also demand the specials menu. We won't go back." +Restaurant,Date of visit: December 2018,Europe,Germany,Bavaria,unknown,I was kicked out of the place by the staff after saying to them they made racist remarks during a football match,"During our stay at the restaurant there was a football match and the staff made infuriating racist comments on the nationalities of the players Polish/Czech, Slavs. After having made the remark to the owner of the place and his brothers they started behaving like animals and tried to justify themselves that it was ""only a football match"" and then they kicked me out of the place using physical violence!Avoid that place at all costs, it's fake courtesy and completely misplaced behavior from the owners of the place!!" +Restaurant,Date of visit: May 2018,Asia,Japan,Kanto,"Paris, france",Racist rude rejection,Arrived 30 minutes before closing and were told that they couldn't seat us right after they seated a Japanese couple.

I thought it was a normal casual dining place, boy I was wrong. The waiters/waitress are rude but I get they have act like dcks to the customers. Some people find this enjoyable, I don't get the appeal. One of the jokes went way too far with one of the staff. He made a racist joke about my sister's eyes being slanted because she's Asian. We had a talk with the manager about the problem. A practical joke is funny but if it's sexist or racist, then that crosses the line. I understand completely how the restaurant operates now but I don't recommend anyone like me who has sensitivity issues to come here. Little children shouldn't come here either because of the offensive humor. The place had bugs and litter everywhere. It felt like I was in a dumpster. I don't think this place should keep going on because it's not necessary to be mean to others, even if it's your job. It's just not necessary or ethical.

It is not right to say that, it is horrible to treat someone who is still learning English like that. I believe that he has family members that are living in his country that doesn't even know how to speak English, so I don't know why he's judging me for my English. When my boyfriend, who is Caucasian, and I left, one of the waiter was trying to high five him, but we were mad of the previous incident, so he did not high five back. The waiter was also Hispanic, and he told my boyfriend ""in this country, if people high five you, you have high five back."" I can not believe that a Hispanic waiter commenting on a Caucasian man about his own country. At least go over their service first before talking badly about other people. All of the staff were being very offensive, which hurts my feelings. I never thought Hispanic people were racist, they are nothing so why are they being racist towards other I know this is a place to joke around and have fun but this way off the line and they did not have any respect for their customer." +Restaurant,Date of visit: July 2016,United States,Texas TX,San Antonio,unknown,Racist Staff Member...Never Again,"I would not suggest anyone take their children in this place especially if you are couple with mixed children.

I stated ""no sir they are Native American."" He went on ""they aren't Mexican they look it and don't match ya'll."" By this time my husband lost his cool and good thing he has a little self control because I was afraid I was going to have to get him out of jail.

He then went on in a fake Asian accent. ""WE NO HAVE U FOOOOD! WHY U WAIT NOW YES""I was so shocked. The lady looked upset as he walked on which was fair enough. My group and I walked off.

We arrived 20 minutes before they opened, were told to wait, fine we waited. Then after they opened the restaurant, nobody would tell us whether we are getting a table or respond to our questions. It's weird they would not even look us in the eye, we were completely ignored like we didn't existed. I have never been treated like that at a restaurant. We waited at the tables that did not have a ""reserved"" sign and then eventually were told we need to move. No explanations were given why we needed to move, they basically came and shoved us off while we watched other ""white"" customers being seated and attended to. There was another Indian couple who received the same treatment. We were outraged and left, gladly at our next restaurant we were treated with a smile and courtesy. This experience left our Cinque Terre trip with a huge shadow, it made me not wanting to come back to this town. I hope people recognize how ridiculous and racist this restaurant is and stop eating here. Doesn't matter how good the views are or how delicious the food is, treating people with respect is the basics of the service industry and they failed miserably, it's not acceptable.

We asked them if we could have seats for lunch but they refused to answer. They pretended as it we were just ghosts. Even though we were not sure, we felt that they acted like that just because we are Asian. It seems that they are racists at least based on my impression. I recommend not to visit there if you do not want to be treated as a monkey from Asia." +Restaurant,Date of visit: April 2016,Europe,Italy,Liguria,"Philadelphia, Pennsylvania",Good Food but Possibly Racist,"We were a group of four sitting in the balcony area of the restaurant. The restaurant was mostly empty and we were the only people of color there. Right from the start, we noticed that the server was not as warm with us as he was with other tables around us. It was not that we did not speak Italian because no guest at the restaurant spoke Italian. However, the server was significantly more welcoming with other groups sitting down and having long conversations with them, making jokes and talking about places to visit. All we got was patronizing treatment and some condescending lessons on the Italian language. Ultimately, at the end of the meal, it was customary for the server to offer every table some Limoncello. But there was no mention of that with us and we were promptly handed the check. In the end, we spent over a hundred euros for dinner and tip because we did not want the server to also think that people of color don't tip well apart from any other preconceived notions he had that made him give this differential treatment. The sad part is that we actually liked the food but all we will remember from our experience is the feeling of being discriminated against." +Restaurant,Date of visit: December 2016,Europe,Switzerland,Canton of Lucerne,unknown,Real Rude and Racist,Today we had the misfortune of visiting this restaurant for lunch.The waiter was very rude and seemed pained to serve us just because we are from India.

I was clearily told that if I return with a passport I would be allowed in, except when I returned I was refused entry yet again without any explanations: I was definitely not drunk and I have seen the bouncers letting people in with their credit card.. I personally think this is related to the fact that I was not English.

The owner rushed out of the restaurant asking my husband to move the car from ""his spot""...which by the way is not his marked spot, it is common shared by other restaurant and businesses in the plaza. The owner became very aggressive when I refused to move the car as I had my baby with me, and at worst started flinging his hands at me and verbally abusive. Shortly after my parents arrived and my dad rushed out of his car to help me and this guy continues to tell us to go where we came from...truly racist comment!

Go here if you enjoy having a finger pointed at you be talked about for not knowing Mandarin,"The waiter was racist, sexist, and made many unnecessary remarks. I went to try this restaurant with my Mandarinspeaking friends after finishing class. The waiter was chatting with them when I came back from the washroom which was disgusting. They were speaking in Mandarin, which I do not understand. After the waiter knew that I did not understand Mandarin, he pointed a finger at me as he told my friends how important it is to know Mandarin, and how I should get a Mandarinspeaking boyfriend. He said more things as his finger was pointed at me, but my friends told me it was better that I didn't understand what he said, and did not translate the rest.The food came, and they were not that great. For the amount I was paying, I could get much larger portions and better food somewhere else.Later on in the meal, the waiter came back to chat more in Mandarin, of course, completely ignoring my presence. This time, he made many racist and unnecessary remarks about black people. My friends described those comments as very cringing and uncomfortable.So, this is my first impression of Sichuan food. Will not return, and will not recommend; unless if you enjoy having a finger pointed at you while you are being talked about like a worthless object for not speaking Mandarin.

Shame we never got to try it as we were kicked out for asking whether there were any glutenfree options. We were then told to ""go get your gluten from Porky's"" and were literally chased away from the pavement outside because we were supposedly not allowed to stand there. I won't even get into the racist tirade they launched into, though they did tell us to ""go back home to Spain"" which, in their defense, was pretty funny because neither of us are from anywhere close to there. Good luck running a restaurant in the heart of Camden without accepting foreigners.Needless to say, we were absolutely baffled at the situation but it did result in us finding VietAnh on Parkway, which was fantastic.

I am still upset about the experience. To begin, the server was clearly racist, as we were treated completely different than the group of Hispanics that was seated next to us. We had to repeatedly ask him for refills on drinks and our food took over 45 minutes to come out. When our order arrived, one of the meals was incorrect. The waiter rudely snatched the dinner off of the table, said something under his breath and went into the kitchen. At this point, my friend was scared to even eat the next plate that came out 15 minutes later. We continued on with our dinner, having to ask for napkins, more drinks, salsas ect...ect.... Horrible service. We split our bill into 2 separate checks, thinking our friend that received the wrong dinner then had to wait an additional 15 minutes for her correct order would not be charged for her dinner. WRONG!!! When I asked for a manager, the waiter was extremely rude stating "" Oh my God, you people always have something to complain about"". EXCUSE ME You people Now I'm livid. The joke of a manager comes to our table and we explained to him that the dinner we ordered was wrong, we had to wait an additional 15 minutes for the correct food to come out and we were already done eating by the time our friends food came. His response was ""I have no way to prove you had to wait 15 minutes for your food"". Again, EXCUSE ME The first order was wrong, he should have taken the dinner off of the bill. Our bill was well over 150.00! I explained to him that the server also made a very unprofessional, racist remark when we asked to speak to a manager. The manager told me again that this is not something that I could prove. WHAT A JOKE!!! I literally thought we were being punked. I encourage everyone to go to the Lalos on Harlem instead of this joke of a restaurant. They are RACIST, unprofessional, extremely rude/slow service and the manager must have received his customer service training off of the side of a cereal box. The funny part is, my boss sent me here to see if this is where he should host our yearly vendor dinner. NO WAY!!! Absolutely NOT! This restaurant should be closed. I asked the manager for the corporate phone number, which he refused to give me. He then acted like he didn't understand English after I said that I would be contacting the owner of the restaurant to tell him about our experience that night. He told me to do whatever I wanted. I will never go here again. I would never refer anyone to this place. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE...especially if you are not Hispanic.

the waitress even saw this after we reported it,if you are asked is everything ok and you answer honestly then expect to resolve the issue she brought some olive oil etc so starters not a good start no pun includedMain course 2 of us had pizzas and the wife had Penne/Pollo arrabiatta, and salmon. myAmerican hot pizza looked good until i tried to cut it the dough consistency was wrong and their so called hot chilies could of been given to a child again got it badly wrong my wife pasta the bowl was the size of a spaceship sadly there was not even 100 grams of warm not hot pasta and as for the chicken , well that must of ran off the plate before she ate it !, the chips and gratin potatoes were left and not touched were absolutely soaked in fat oil, we paid our bill and the waitress apologised that we had had a bad experience but called the owner so he would be aware of the issues to make sure it would not happen again, he introduced himself and we told him as above honestly he saw the food left on the table said sorry and acknowledge the facts and offered us a drink on the house, we said at the time its not about the money and we don't want anything free, we want it right and for you to strive on but rectify the issues we paid left a 5 tip to the waitress but not for the food, at no time was the offer I'm sorry we won't charge for the chip potatoes or anything , so again to them its about the money !Got home and obviously the man had told his wife that we had a bad experience and then came the barrage of racist comments remarks which she texted us on Messenger which i will reproduce and seeking legal advise let alone going to put it out in the Italian community, 00:28I find Italian customers quiet offensive I'm sorry but we always always pick up problems with them I actually find the food in eye much better than Hampton on certain dishesI'm sorry your friends feel that way but I'm sure they will feel the same if they come to Hampton because I do not have an Italian chef but a good chef does not need to be Italian Both my Chefs in both places are amaxing and can cook any cuisineThank u Carol But I'm aware of who they were and they have a family member who own an Italian in town My husband and I always pick up problems when we have Italians because they feel because we not Italian we can't run an Italian restaurant or if we don't have an Italian chef we can't cook either I can guarantee u if there was an Italian chef that would not be the caseU are always welcome my lovely But unfortunately it always happens when we have Italians dinning !because my friend was English she was invited back but because of my Italian genealogy 56 years old born and bred in UK i was not welcomed , i have never been in their before not met either of them and will certainly not be going back.So now you can see the racism and bitterness of a frustrated Portuguese owner trying to cook Italian for people when she clearly does not understand constructive criticism and diplomacy in management and again its all about the money !!!! well why didn't they open a Portuguese restaurant !! i tell you why because it wouldn't work ! so you play at Italian food you insult the general public saying we don't know what were on about, you never kick any one in the teeth on the way up because people like you will definitely meet them on the way down she is a very bitter twisted person that threw a racist card in for no apparent reason and all good things come to those who wait !!!!" +Restaurant,Date of visit: June 2018,Europe,Austria,Vienna Region,Iran,very shameless place,"this place has an impolite staff. he throws our orders on the table, without any fork and knife!!he throws our drinksHonestly, I think it was racist. cause he was good with otherswe are surprised about this behavior" +Restaurant,Date of visit: March 2018,Europe,Austria,Vienna Region,unknown,Very nice caf,"Typical Viennese coffee house.

For their last evening in Italy they wanted to eat at a restaurant that offered authentic Roman pasta dishes. They saw reviews for this restaurant and decided to celebrate their last evening there. What a mistake! We walked in and no one even greeted us, one of the men at the front just told us to go sit down. We found a table and had to wait at least 15 minutes until someone came over and decided to take our order.Our waitress was extremely unfriendly and had a terrible attitude. She was not willing to answer our questions and gave brief, unhelpful responses. My friend and her uncle do not speak Italian so I had to translate for them. My friend's uncle asked some details about the steak, how it was cooked, how big it was and generally if it was recommended. When I asked her about it she responded, ""It's a steak,"" and turned away to help the table next to us. We ended up ordering 3 pasta dishes, and asked for bread to be brought to the table. When the bread was brought out about ten minutes later, my friend's uncle asked if it was possible to have some butter or oil to go along with the bread. The waitress got offended and said ""We don't have butter and oil is only brought out for those who order salad"". Now I understand that bread and butter is not an Italian custom, but we are paying customers and deserve to be treated with respect. I look at the table next to us Italians and they have a bottle of oil with NO SALAD.The next part of this nightmare was when the pasta was finally brought out and my friend's uncle asks for salt and pepper. The waitress responds, ""I don't understand why he wants salt and pepper. It doesn't make sense."" I tell her, ""He wants salt and pepper, why can't he have it"" She gets angry and walks away.At this point the table next to us are giving us dirty looks and acting like they are much superior, which was really awful.Once we finished our meal, the waitress came back over to take our plates. As I was asking my friend and her uncle if they wanted coffee or amaro, the table next to us started making snarly comments about us which made the waitress laugh in our faces. She then asks impatiently, ""Well do you want coffee or what 1, 2, 3 coffees I need to know."" To which I reply, ""We are deciding! And we've decided we just want the check to get out of here!"" It then takes her about 15 minutes to bring us the check.The waitress did not once smile at us throughout our meal, or show any hospitality. I have never met any waitress as rude as her. I will NEVER step foot in this restaurant again. I am disgusted at the way we were treated. This waitress and the guests next to us were very racist and treated us like we were the scum of the earth.

Was quite keen to try this restaurant based on the reviews and the food looked like a unique take on German cuisine. The first time we approached we understood there was a party from 4pm from the sign so we just wanted to check if it was over it was close to 7. The service staff smoking outside just brusquely told us that there was a party, fair enough. We then asked when it would be over, at which point he rather sarcastically said ""next week"". We tried again during lunch the next day and saw one empty table near the door. Unfortunately the same person was there again and he asked brusquely again whether we had reservation.

It was totally unexpected from a restaurant that considers itself high endYesterday evening I went there with a friend for dinner. We sat outside but no one came to take our orders. After 10 minutes, we went inside to call on a waiter. We finally caught the attention of one waitress but she immediately barked at us with a very rude tone asking/demanding who let you in who allowed you to come in. Baffled we asked what she meant. She went on to say, we had told the gatemen not to allow anyone inside until the people who are already inside are all served. We were puzzled as this totally did not make sense there was a large group inside the resultant but there were several unoccupied tables both inside and outside. I asked her to call the manager but she said he is not around. I asked for the owner or the cook and owner but was told that is not possible because she is busy. When I started my rant on how rude her treatment is and that if they are hosting a private party they should politely inform us, the manager who was according to her not there came and asked us what was wrong. When I started to explain what happened. He then asked Min felegachu new, rat felegachu new what do you want, is it dinner this response irritated me because i it was obvious why we were there and ii min felegachu new is something you say to a stranger that has come to your house unannounced at an odd hour not to a restaurant guest during the restaurants open hour. But he asked her what is going on. The waitress then explained to him that she has been instructed not to let anyone in until the crowd inside is served. When he proposed going inside the kitchen to talk to the cook owner, the waitress immediately objected and said no way, she is going to scold us and we will get in trouble. All this conversation between the manager and the waitress was happening in front of us and we were still not seated. But the whole situation escalated when two foreigners walked in at that time. The manager politely asked them whether they have a reservation. The guests said no and manager said, no problem, please come in. We left at that point after giving the manager and the waitress our piece of mind.I have come across service providers in the hospitality industry, like waiters, giving more attention and priority to foreign clients. In some places, the quality and swiftness of services you get actually differs deteriorates when there is a foreigner around in a different group/crowd. But I dont remember the last time I have come across such blatant, absolutely rude and borderline racist reception and handling in my own city.

We went in and he put us in a small table. The place was very dark and only a couple of tables were occupied. He brought us the menu, we thanked him in french and when we started talking in our language to decide what to eat he started laughing behind us with the rest of the staff. Another waiter came to us and when I asked him to explain to me something on the menu that I didn't know he was looking at me strangely and he started making funny comments against us in french with his colleagues. Obviously, because of our nonfrench accent he thought that we couldn't understand what he was talking about. My sister asked him why he made such comments about our accent and he went silent. She told him twice that he a racist and he didn't deny it. We walked away very upset. Our night was almost ruined.

This was subsequently reflected in the bill. When questioned, the waiter argued and was sarcastic, condescending and racist.

Not only so, as we quickly determined that it wasn't safe for us to enter and turned to leave, he went towards the window to continue to shout and laugh at us. I have never had such a shocking experience. No we were not drunk or rowdy, we were just looking forward to enjoying some nice tapas and no these people were not saying such things to be 'friendly'.

He then walked away and served someone else. Firstly, I fully understand the whole no sports clothes thing because it's linked to a certain type of person and if I had come into the place a few hours later maybe after 5pm or 6pm I would accept it, but this was noon time and the place was half empty. My other issue was that while me and my girlfriend were rejected service because we were dressed for the sport we were about to partake in, the group of 10, drunk, urine soaked, jean wearing old men shouting racist abuse to an foreign family outside the window, creating an intimidating environment for other customers are perfectly acceptable.

He told us that were not his fault as his boss Tony Gomez forgot to forward him our booking. He also advised us to discuss with his boss Mr. Gomez. So we had dinner elsewhere. But at least believing we deserved an apology hence we visited the Casa Pepe again. We found Tony Gomez, I have never seen a impudent proprietor like him, I explained him the situation to him and tried to show the email but he told that he did not have the glasses at that moment therefore he could not read it, but he was not polite during this conversation, frequently was shouting to me. I suggested that I could read for him or if he had no trust to me, his assistant could read instant of him who had already read. He shouted me again if I did not understand in French, he renewed that forgot his glasses and could not read. I told that I understood him and reminded that he was not listening to me.

However, when the food arrived it was basically half a can of tinned tuna plopped onto a bit of iceberg lettuce with some oil drizzled on top for about 25. Not what I was expecting for that price at all. When we asked politely if we could send it back due to its poor presentation and misleading menu, the waiter told us to wait while he got the manager. As the manager approached our table he screamed at us 'WHAT IS GOING ON WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM!' My friend stayed calm and delicately explained the situation and the manager kept interrupting saying 'no other customers have a problem with this' etc. He eventually aggressively grabbed the plate after screaming at us without us able to get a word in and as he did so I think he muttered something quite racist under his breath. Absolutely disgusting behaviour. He never returned and my friend had to pick at our meals which were fine nothing special. As we were finishing the manager was just staring at us from a distance with an awful look on his face. We paid the full price but are regretting it.

The restaurant is supposed to close at 5pm but they turned me away at 3:15pm does this make sense/is normal here Maybe they are racist towards asians or are super jaded by tourists, or thought I wouldn't spent much money since I was alone Who knows the reason, I guess I'll never know!

The porter at the gate asked only me for my papers. I was quite surprised and my friend was also surprised, but I gave my drivers license. The gateman took it and started reading, in a loud voice to everyone, which year I was born and started comparing my age with his age and then he started comparing my age to his wife's age.

That is actually against the law in Finland.He then got angry and gave me my card saying I was disrespecting him by trying to take back my card and telling him what he has to do. He then said he is not going to allow me in and did exactly that.I am wondering how a night club in the center of Helsinki will put such racist man at the door Is it just one instant or that is how things are I am going to make sure I spread this everywhere and in every rating agency." +Restaurant,Date of visit: March 2017,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,unknown,"RACIST, HORRIFIC EXPERIENCE!","HORRIFIC EXPERIENCE, DO NOT ORDER! I ordered a takeaway online, everything seemed fine the payment went through. I then received an email from their payment service, to tell me that the payment had been refunded. I called them asked them why, they said they do not deliver to my address bearing in mind they have delivered before it is 3 miles away. At this point, I had already paid the delivery fee. I also left a note to the ""restaurant"" to say could they please come up my driveway knock on the caravan door at the back. I thought this was strange they said they couldn't deliver to my address, seeing as they had before. Assume it is because they have a dislike for travellers. I then decided to order a takeaway elsewhere, when my card was declined. I then called Al Karim's back, I spoke to a man on the phone, I asked him why the money has not been refunded back into my account, to which his response was ""it takes up to 24 hours, I think"" I then said to the man I need to know a definite answer or when the money will be returned, he then said it could take up to 34 hours. I told the man I needed to know a definite answer, as this is completely unacceptable also mentioned my point about not delivering to the address because living in caravan. I asked to speak to the manager, but he said he was not there. He said he will look into this for me then give me a call back. He called me back, said it will be in my account within 24 hours said he will pass this on to the manager for me. Overall, this has been my worst ever experience with a takeaway, especially when all I wanted was a kebab now I've got to wait 24 hours to get my money back all because this takeaway is RACIST. I'm also quite sure you can get adequate food from another takeaway who isn't RACIST. " +Restaurant,Date of visit: August 2013,Asia,Indonesia,Java,unknown,Shocking management,"Firstly the positives This pub looks great, walking through the doors was like stepping back in time. You just don't get pubs like this any more. The two bands who were playing the night we were there were also very good, playing alternating sets every hour and ramping up the energy and atmosphere with each set. Finally, having draft bintang on tap made a nice change from the bottled beer I've got used to over the last ten months in Asia.Now for the negatives The food was overpriced. It was ok, don't get me wrong, but you can eat much better food for far less money elsewhere. Secondly, the management are terrible and their bad attitude and rudeness to nonregular customers ruins the place completely. At the start of the night I would have loved to have given this place 5/5, by the end i was left with little choice but to leave a bad review.Let me explain why; we arrived early, at around 7pm and there were no other customers in there. We asked for a food and drink menu and ordered a couple of beers and some food they told us it wouldn't get busy until 9pm so we thought we may as well stay and eat there to make sure we get a table. We knew it was quite expensive but were happy to stay as the place seemed good.As it started to get busy, and the bands came on, the older lady working the bar began to circulate the area approaching anybody without a full glass and asking if they wanted another. Normally this would be seen as just good service, but it was done in a way that left you in no doubt that not buying another drink would see you asked to leave. After 3 hours of drinking we decided we didn't want any more beers but would just stay and enjoy the music. The woman told us she would close our bill and hinted at the door. This kind of prehistoric attitude doesn't exist in pubs at home any more, or bars anywhere else in Asia for that matter. There was no consideration for the fact we had already spent over 600,000 Rupiah in there!We were a bit taken aback by that but tried to laugh it off. When the bill came, however, everything on it was more expensive than it had appeared on the menu at the beginning of the night, with tax and service added on top for good measure. The tax and service we could live with, its pretty standard in Indonesia. But the pretax price for everything was considerably more than we had been shown at the start of the night. A regular who was sitting next to us and talking to us throughout the night balked at the bill when he saw it and asked if he could check it for us a sure sign that they are known to 'make mistakes' with the bill regularly. In his words, 'that bill looks VERY expensive'. When the manager saw him doing this she came over and aggressively asked if there was anything wrong. We explained the situation and she returned with a menu with stickers over the original prices and said 'these are our prices'. Now, I would be willing to believe that this was an honest mistake but there is no way that they could have given both me and my girlfriend a menu with the wrong and cheaper prices by mistake when we were the only people in the bar at the start of the night. They had us marked down as travellers at the start of the night, and decided to try and make a bit of extra money out of us. The fact that the regular customer sitting next to us wanted to check our bill for us suggests they do this regularly, as did the attitude of the staff to us all night and the fact that they tried to put our card through for payment without a signature or asking me to enter my pin number. The review below says this is a colonial pub with a racist attitude towards Indonesians. I disagree, a lot of the customers were Indonesians. This is a colonial pub with a bad attitude towards nonregular customers. If you live in Jakarta and drink regularly you will be treated like an old friend, if you are passing through and looking for a good night out go elsewhere they will try and rip you off and treat you with contempt." +Restaurant,Date of visit: May 2013,Asia,Indonesia,Java,unknown,Colonial place with racist colonial service,"Was looking for a good last night out in jakarta before leaving and came here after reading the good reviews. Unfortunately this turned out to be the worst decision of my trip. Started out promising with good location right smack in the city, awesome decor and atmosphere. However it went downhill from there. Manager led us to a corner table where we had to climb on the barchairs to get in to sit. Even though half of the place was empty. Everything non alcoholic was out except for coke and orange juice when we askedhad too much much to drink the night before. To be fair, the alternating bands were decent and played slow oldies, our taste! Food was a letdown though, I've had better food throughout my trip at a fraction of the prices.Worst part of the experience was paying the bill, manager stood beside us I've never been treated like I have no money to pay before in any restaurant in my life and the worst was right after settling the bill, less than a min the waiter literally shouted at us to leave, just because he needed my chair for another table. This despite just having spent usd30/person.My conclusion: Colonial place with biased colonial service, racist place for caucasians to find company. Decent music, but I've found much better places with quality music, food definitely service in the north.

The meat of my accompagn Swiss born was delicious and tender and my meat I'm Austrian was totally different in quality, we both found it inedible. We told the service person and after some quarreling I was served some new meat. The second serving was not only totally burnt on both sides, it was tasting totally different from both kinds of meat we had tried before even though we should have gotten the same meat, it tasted like it was pork this time. I'm not fond of pork meat at all and on top of it it was totally burnt as said and so I had to leave the whole piece untouched. But the worst part came when I was leaving first after ordering the bill to be able to get our cinema tickets in time. The owners of the beiz had apparently started shouting racist insults at me behind my back for not eating their rotten meat and for not keeping quiet after they had served me inedible meat the first time. They did that in front of my accompagn but apparently were too cowardly to do the same thing with me still there.Apparently they do serve good food sometimes too if you're lucky and not from another country than Switzerland, it seems, but after my terrible experience I would recommend noone, especially not a traveller, to waste their time and money there because they're so many restaurants in Zurich that rely on quality and refrain from insulting their own customers." +Restaurant,Date of visit: July 2018,Europe,United Kingdom UK,England,"Colchester, United Kingdom",Racist floor staff.,Was consistently starred at by the manager and was made to feel very uncomfortable.

If I cooked this breakfast at home however using high quality ingredients it would have cost me more than what I spent. So not recommended for foodies but recommended on limited budget and if youre happy whilst eating breakfast for others around you to be downing pints of beer so early in the day.

We were served by John who was brilliant, he was patient in waiting for our orders, didnt forget to come back, chatted and made jokes with the kids. We had the full rack of ribs, kids meals and chicken burger all of which were very tasty. I was sceptical about this restaurant when I read some of the reviews, especially one about a customer who felt the restaurant was racist. We all had a lovely time, from the welcome to leaving all staff were very pleasant and couldnt do enough!

They didnt have any interest in serving me nor welcoming me to the restaurant.They look miserable and werent friendly I didnt feel welcome. I asked to see the menu and was given one but then no one bother to ask what I wanted to order nor did they offer a table everyone walked passed me as if I was invisible. Then another customer of different ethnic walked up to the bar and from no where a staff came over and bypass me asked the gentleman can I help in which the gentleman replied hes before me referring to me. My experience didnt end there but I had enough when I tried to order and was told in an unfriendly tone that I had to order from her colleague who was at the front I went over to him he then sent me back to his colleague who sent me to him in the first place. At that point I had enough and walked away because I just confirmed these staff are absolute racist,unfriendly, unprofessional and not accommodating.Worst experience I ever had from a restaurant.

Our drinks came when we finished our dinner. We even had to ask a different server to get us something to drink.How I said earlier I always eat there and most of the time Shannon or her daughter Christal they take a good care of me, but this time Tam was very Racist.Regardless anything I still will keep going to WH but if the Racist Tam is there I will request a different server or I'll be going to Dennys." +Restaurant,Date of visit: August 2018,Asia,Sri Lanka,Uva Province,unknown,Racist towards Indians/Colored.,"I found this at a couple of places in Sri Lanka now, Fernando's in Trinco. Here as well, any Caucasian person is immediately greeted and served; not the same if you're colored or brown. I was given a table by the entrance which made me uncomfortable as I'm a tall guy and it would require me to move out the way a lot. There were a few empty tables inside, which seated four. The kicker is I saw at least 45 couples seated on such tables. But when I requested them to change my seating, I was refused twice, stating they wanted to 'do business'.I can understand this argument if the said time was a peak time with heavy crowds. But I didn't see any reason why I couldn't sit there when so many others were. Finally after insisting again I got a change in table. Personally, I found that offensive and racist.

We talked to the waiter just 2mn after ordering, he replied that it was impossible because the software didn't allow cancelling an item. I asked for a manager to help us because he was obviously not trying hard, but he said there is no manager there. He was talking in a very rude way, and insisting that we should go to our hotel to take our wallet and come back, even though it would take 30mn.After his refusal to change the order, we decided to leave. My boyfriend was outside when the waiter came back and told me to ""fuck off"" in a very aggressive way. The guy started shouting at me and abusing me. My boyfriend came back and the waiter started picking a fight by shouting that he should not come there and act as a tourist if he had no money to spend my boyfriend is from India and this comment was clearly racist.A few seconds later, we were in the middle of the street and 2 other waiters were standing there, watching with their arms crossed, while the waiter was threatening to beat up and kill my boyfriend. I was trying to separate them and calm things down, and i got pretty scared that he would beat us both as he was pushing us and was clearly up for a fight. No need to add that this experience left a very bitter taste, as it was not only the consequence of one waiter being rude, but of the fact that none of his colleagues stepped in. The whole staff had no problem with this guy insulting us, being racist and threatening to kill my boyfriend. Unbelievable." +Restaurant,Date of visit: June 2017,Asia,Sri Lanka,Uva Province,unknown,Our experience was terribly racist!,"My friend and I visited the cafe, we are both brown, but tourists as well! and one of the waiter guys asked us to leave because the place was ""closing in half hour"" and refused to serve us beer.

When we arrived we were ignored by staff which we found rude and also we were being judged and stared at by both customers and staff. After ignoring the very rude looks and blatant comments being made by other customers there myself and a friend went to the bar to ask if they had any tables. Again we were completely ignored by staff and found this to be very uncomfortable. A Czech couple then came in behind us after we were waiting approximately 10 minutes whilst being ignored and they served them straight away and took them to a table when they asked. We found this to be racist as the only option that could have been was because we are Scottish. Absolutely horrendous service and we were made to feel so uncomfortable and embarrassed that we had to leave. I would not ever recommend this establishment to anyone and feel that they really should have a lesson in how to treat people. This whole experience we found to be rude, uncomfortable and embarrassing. All who was working there today 30/12/18 should be ashamed.

I ordered a takeaway tea and bakery, sat down waiting for someone, and it was cold outside. For starters, they added way too much milk so my tea was undrinkable though they did change it. Secondly, the waiter was very rude, basically telling me I can't drink in the shop because I didn't pay the service charge. I explained I'm jus waiting and that I'll leave soon once my friend arrives. Thirdly, When she still saw me sitting down she rudely interrupted my phone call, and then huffed and puffed to get her colleague to basically kick me out. Apparently I was drinking the tea in the shop, when really I was stirring in sugars and seeing if it was sweet enough.. I believe this woman was racist because I saw a white man in the shop drinking from a takeaway cup in the shop too. The woman made me feel SO uncomfortable, just staring at me to see if I'm drinking the tea. It's a shame because I actually liked coming here before.

First of all, I never once snapped my fingers, I waved once, and once only to tell the waiter I would like the bill, second of all, it was 20 minutes later which I decided to approach them at the bar and ask for the bill.

I want to share this horrible experience i had today at Jacks. Me and my friends were there for some drinks having a good time, playing pool and domino like we always do. All of the sudden a guy apparently he was the owner that I supposed we all should know and swept the dominos tiles off the table and said get the f out of my bar you russians screaming and cursing us. At first i did not understand what was going on, I thought is just a drunk guy looking for troubles. Then my friend asked him what was his problem. He never explained anything, just being a complete racist, kicked us out. Just to be clear that was not our first time hanging out there, we always behave, never got in trouble, always nice with the staff, just getting together with friends, having a good time, but apparently that fact somehow pissed him off. Well very disappointed, if he is treating all of his costumers like that, then I dont know how he still runs the business. For all this 5 years ive been in this country, this was my first time experiencing this kind of attitude, and I believe that not all the people are like this rude, unprofessional, racist guy named JACK. I really hope all my russian con citizens will keep this in mind when they go there to bring some business to this place. P.s. none of us is from Russia by the way, but I guess that didnt really matter for him, he just had a little bit too much to drink and decided to show some power there. Well done JACK!!!

The food chain had recently had a few new faces which included this Indian or Arab woman . I have never experienced such a nasty ill mannered Racist woman in my life. I came in today to purchase a position of BBQ Ribs and from the get go she was outright rude to me without justification. I let it slide , but then she continued . I asked her what her problem was and she became patronising and sarcastic and eventually called me a B!!!! word and then continued to cuss in her language. The male works have been pleasant . I think she needs to be reported and removed for good from the restaurant ." +Restaurant,Date of visit: June 2018,Europe,Czech Republic,Bohemia,"Ostrava, Czech Republic",Racist management please avoid if you don't want to support their immoral behaviour,"The good location and quite good food can not outweight the terrible experience we made in this restaurant last night. It was 7:45 pm, we were just finishing our meals, while a Roma family with two kids walked in and looked for a table. My first comment to my friend was look what a nice family, I am so happy that some Roma are so nicely integrated. They apparently came from some kids event as their two daughters had some animal make up, really sweet and well behaved girls. In that moment the head waitress came to them and told them that the restaurant kitchen is closed for maintenance as a hygiene control will come tomorrow and that she cannot serve them any food. They looked really disappointed and as they chose a table next to us, we could hear the entire conversation. The Roma family was very polite even if somehow puzzled. Of course that not even 5 minutes later two other tables got filled and they were served normally. We complaint to our waitress who distanced herself from the management behaviour saying this was just a part time job for her. At least there is some hope in the young generation. I have to say that the guests who were not served were absolutely polite all the time and there was not a hint of any problem in the past. They were Roma and as it has been the case in some Czech restaurants that is enough of a reason for the management to pretend that the kitchen is closed. My recommendation is that if you do not want to support this immoral racist behaviour it is better to avoid this place. There are plenty of good restaurants in Hradec Krlov." +Restaurant,Date of visit: April 2014,United States,Michigan MI,Belleville,"Detroit, Michigan",Solid Bar Food on Lovely Setting,"First, to address some of the older reviews, we have gone here for years and never experienced racist issues or seen any of the other problems citedit has changed hands a number of times and at times some staff had not been the best, but nothing that I have not seen elsewhere.

We decided to have dinner at ""Royal Fish."" Upon ordering, I had noticed a worker possibly the manager engage in a few offensive Chinese mimicry as the Chinese customers in front of him were discussing with one another what to order. His fellow workers, the two women cackled. I was at first, most appalled and taken back by this blatant racism, but decided, but I had decided to not start conflict on this day as my family were with me. Then during the meal, while eating, I had witnessed another deplorable incident ensue. One Chinese man was taking his tray to the open area as there were no more seats left. The same worker manager told him that he had to bring it back. The Chinese man assured him he would bring it back. As soon as his back was turned, the manager engaged in another mimicry, rallying laughter with customers. There was so much that I could let slide before this racism surpassed my limits. I decided to discreetly mention it to a different coworker who could pass along the message. I wanted to approach this in a more subtle approach assuming it could be resolved quietly and quickly. Yet, to my surprise, he had accused me of hearing wrong and kept saying ""no"" repeatedly in my face. As a customer service oriented place, I was more than appalled at his behaviour and response. I understood his position to want to defend his work place, but his unmitigated gull of dismissing my paying customer accusations and belittling me in front of others was absolutely humiliating. As a worker, I find that the Chinese tour groups are one of the top contributors to sales, so to be racist, seems ironic. Furthermore, standing by Markthal's appreciation of multiculturalism through diverse restaurants and stands, this an abhorrent act. I expect nothing short of a proper apology because this has been one of the worst experiences in the Netherlands and it is an unnecessary experience my family will take back with them. It is unfortunate as I believe this is not a representation of the values and beliefs Markthal holds to be true." +Restaurant,Date of visit: August 2018,United States,Colorado CO,Denver,"Denver, Colorado",RACIST AGAINST BLACK PEOPLE!!,"RACIST AGAINST BLACK PEOPLE!!I took my son here, after church. We waited 10 minutes before someone came to even greet us. I kept turning around to look at the manager who was by the cash register, not doing anything. Finally, someone came to take our order. They were a little busy, so at first I gave them the benefit of the doubt. However, I watched 3 sets of people sit down at the tables directly around us. Each time, they were greeted and brought chips immediately. The manager, barely uttered two words when he brought our food to the table. The other servers kept walking past our table, rudely asking if we needed boxes while we were obviously still eating. As if trying to hurry us out of their establishment. I ordered nachos and found a pebble, yes an actual ROCK in my food. I called the manager over and asked why we were being treated in this way. He apologized but mind you, this is the same person who stood there just looking at us after we sat down. The bottom line is we were the only Black people there and were not given the same service as the people seated around us. We were treated this way, from the moment we walked in the door. So, the only explanation is THEY DO NOT WANT BLACK PEOPLE IN THEIR RESTAURANT!! The only people I saw working in there were Hispanic, so I know they must know how it feels to be discriminated against. So, why turn around and be racist when they already know how it feels Hey patzcuaro's, treat others how you would want to be treated and STOP BEING RACIST AGAINST BLACK PEOPLE!!" +Restaurant,Date of visit: October 2016,United States,California CA,San Bruno,"San Francisco, California",RACIST STAFF,"I went here with my husband on Oct. 31st Halloween morning.

We all waited in the front patiently. The hostess began to seat me, as my husband just walked in from parking the car. She lays the menus down on a 4 top table and I ask for a booth as there are 3 booths available. She mentions the booth I asked for is RESERVED and that it would be a 10 minute wait for the next one. OKAY So we sit down on the 4 top. Low and behold she seats the group of women that booth. They came in 5 minutes after me and not once ever heard them ask for a booth since we all waited in the front. So I ask her I thought this table was reserved and these women came in after me I never heard them ask for a booth. And there were 2 other booths available. She stumbled over her words and I said I'm leaving, this is discrimination. I talked to the manager and mentioned how we were being discriminated, it's wrong. He was speechless as we walked out. I contacted Jack's corporate and still have yet to hear an apology. I'm Asian by the way and feel my money is not welcomed here. After years of giving my hard earned money, and family dinners and lunches, that comes out to 3,000.The fact they continue to employ this RACIST host means they condone this behavior.

He said sorry I can't let you in, the dress code is posted on the wall. I said sir I called and we came from a long way. He didn't care and still denied us. Everything is not a racist situation but I really felt like this was. They were playing Spanish music and full of Latinos, who I love dearly. But I was really upset. We were dressed up.

The following are my sentiments. 1. They dont allowed us inside the bar/cafe, they said only members are allowed to come. Like seriously Or theyre just racist and doesnt allowed filipino! 2. At the hotel, wifi is not provided. 3. Bouncers are not accommodating and friendly.

But the Stuff were very nice to us, our waitress that time was very friendly and one of the Security was really nice. He told one young guy to backed off of me although he's caucasian and told right on his face not to touch me. It was a mistake though and it's the ""amazonian woman"" who bruised my arm.

All a bit strange as obviously different rules apply for regulars and firsttimers. Staff attentive but drinks are not cheap and food average.As was bound to happen, probably fuelled by alcohol, a football and beer loving community got into fisticuffs, leading to prompt bundling out by force by the bouncers bringing an end to the evening.Such seedy dives should be forced to have a standard policy, and not based on the whims of a bouncer who can barely make himself understood!

A caucasian man was seated on the sofa just in front of the air conditioner. As my wife and I admired the view from the glass pane, this man vacated the sofa and left so we took up this place as it was just in front of the air conditioner and was a comfortable place to be seated at. We placed our orders, and a couple minutes later a staff member came and switched the AC off. Upon questioning him about why he put it off, he simply said that it was faulty and could not be used it just happened to get spoiled after the caucasion left. I was very much irked by this and asked in a loud voice if I had to be white to have the the pleasure of the comfort of the AC. Upon feeling that the matter may get out of hand, they switched the AC back on again. Before writing this review, I have noted that someone else has also had a racist experience here as well. I am shocked that to this day and age, there is still such a major colonial hang over that racism in places like these persists!" +Restaurant,Date of visit: May 2018,Europe,Poland,Southern Poland,"Glasgow, United Kingdom",Racist restaurant.... Not taking booking,"What a racist restaurant. I never felt the racism in my 11 years in UK. But in wroclaw felt in first 4 days in this restaurant. I am Indian by birth, and went on to make a booking on friday for 2 of us in the restaurant for Saturday night. I was told that its full and no table available. Fair enough, its Saturday night. I asked for Sunday evening. I was told that also full. That's sounds fishy. I asked for any day available next week but I was told that whole week is full. The person tried to turn the pages to show that its full. I am not sure what he thought, but I can see that only 2 or 3 tables are full each day. And surely there are much more tables available in the restaurant. So, I felt that just because of my skin color I was told that no table available for us." \ No newline at end of file
