Nextstop is a user-generated site, like Yelp. It concentrates on only positive reviews, which are about 2 sentences long. The disadvantage to this format is if you need to see if Rome's Spanish Steps are worth a visit, nobody will tell you that it is a traveller trap and to avoid it. You will only get a smash on the place if somebody suggests it. And if you're attempting to find in-depth information on a spot, you'll need to do your own further research.
The usual worry with a Yelp-like site is that anybody can go in and promote their own store, restaurant, etc, but Nextstop makes an attempt to weed those baddies out by doling out "reputations." As you make more guides, you earn a higher reputation, which gives you benefits like having your content pop up more often in searches. Since users create their own guides without steerage from editors, occasionally you get a mishmash of suggestions.
We found a featured guide to Italy that only listed sights in Rome and Florence. It might make more sense to split them up into guides for those 2 towns.
And we presumed the guide titled "Shaka's picks for fun walks with mom" was about walks to take with your kiddies. But when we clicked on it, we learned it was for strolls with your pooch. The site's founders were the peeps behind Google Calendar and Picasa, so Nextstop uses Google Maps, has heaps of footage and is easy to use. It's particularly beneficial when you're attempting to find particular proposals, like the best pizzas in Sydney. The lengthy list for the planet's best yarn shops is something knitters would have a tricky time finding on conventional travel sites. Nextstop also might be helpful for taking a peek at what there's to do in a given place and using the data as a jumping-off point for your travels.
