11 more of the harshest TripAdvisor reviews of Hong Kong

Because not everyone is impressed by our famous landmarks

Advertising

TripAdvisor is home to some 660 million reviews, and not all of them are happy ones. We already detailed some of the harshest reviews of Hong Kong here but, sad to say, there’s plenty more where they came from. From deadly temples to ‘surly waitresses and slimy cold food’, here are more scathing reviews of local landmarks.

RECOMMENDED: If you want to know what makes real Hongkongers mad, you can find that out here. Maybe we should add TripAdvisor reviews to that list.

LKF is trying to tidy up its image but it’s still a love it or loathe it kind of place. This reviewer clearly knows where he stands.

Avenue of Stars
Avenue of Stars

This Tsim Sha Tsui landmark has been under renovation for yonks. Fingers crossed when it reopens it rates better than it did here.

Chungking Mansions

Poor old Chungking Mansions. Some people can’t see past its outdated reputation as a hive of scum and villainy, like this guest, whose full review declared, “If you’ve ever wondered what it was like too sleep in a crack den or brothel then here is the place for you.” They then helpfully listed the items one needs to spend a night there: ”A weapon of some sort; a rake of alcohol to help you get through the night; a hazmat suit to sleep in; a stab vest; a rape whistle; something heavy to barricade the door in your room.” You’ve been warned.

An oasis of tranquillity in the middle of Hong Kong Island for many, but not for this visitor.

Lamma Island is apparently doing its best to solve Hong Kong’s landfill woes by turning itself into a literal rubbish dump, according to this reviewer.
