Review of Yahoo
Yahoo sucks., it's a juvenile comment but true. It's asking me to scan on another device when I only have ONE phone. Ridiculous. I would rather lose all those contacts than use a sucky service that does not support its users with simple decent service.

Review of TELUS
Just got off the phone with Telus after 2 hours and 40 minutes on hold. This is after their call-back never called back. Outrageous price plans. No flexibility. The Canadian government needs to permit US service providers into Canada. Maybe then Telus et all will stop price gouging Canadians and actually offer service. The funny thing is, the Telus recording is the same one they were using during the pandemic. LOL
Review of HousingAnywhere
EXPENSIVE!!!!!
I used them once in Budapest for a 2-month stay...and it was enough. The move-in costs were expensive, upfront rent, deposits etc. Plus you pay for utilities which add another 15%. Plus you pay a service fee and a cleaning fee. Look at the cost associated with morning into an apartment on HousingAnywhere. And in my situation, the apartment was nothing like the photos. It was obviously professionally "staged" for the photos. None of the furniture pictured was in the apartment. The kitchen had no cooking stove or elements as was in the photo. And worse, HousingAnywhere (located in Rotterdam NL) provided no satisfying service.

Review of Flatio.com
In Budapest, Flatio has the most unreliable and unresponsive landlords I've ever experienced on a platform. Flatio had a 50% refusal rate from landlords for no reason. Even after I booked and paid in full, one landlord came back to me and said all the requested (and paid for) dates were now unavailable. "Sorry" he said. Fact is, after he accepted my payment in full on Flatio, he got a better rate from the identical apartment he has also listed on Air BnB. Flatio needs to start deleting these unreliable and irresponsible landlords. They haves no credibility if they do not eliminate the bad actors.
Even FB Marketplace listings are more reliable than landlords listing on Flatio.

Review of BeNaughty
This site is a scam. The girls will give you their Telegram or WhatApp and then ask you to get a "Meet up Protection Card". This is a scam. Why do need this card? You don't. It's a scam. Once you send the 250 EUR for the card, the girl disappears. If she is real at all.
2 girls wanted me to buy this phony "Meet up Protection Card". When I politely refused, they deleted our chats and disappeared.

Review of UPS
UPS Hungary is the most incompetent service I've had to deal with in 50 years. They lie about making delivery attempts. They do not respond to customer inquiries regarding deliveries. This Hungarian service is absolutely the worst. UPS Should fire all the managers in Hungary and hire people who care about their job and their responsibilities. This UPS employee in Hungary UPS Magyarország Kft., Macsi Ferenc, should be fired. No customer service. No replies. No contract. No professional service. No follow up communications.

FoxAuto Rent Budapest - Vienna.
I try to always leave positive feedback when warranted to help well deserved local businesses. However, I should have read all the mostly negative reviews about this company actions regarding keeping customers deposits by charging them for unsubstantiated "damages". My experience is very similar to others online. They will attempt charge you for every little ding, dent, scratch, scrape they 'CLAIM" you caused - even though they cannot fully substantiate these claims. More importantly, if you take any car out on the road, there are a number of natural issues that can occur just by being on the street, could cause alleged bumps and scrapes - so keep in mind, this company does not appear to acknowledge the reality of driving a car in real life. They pout the entire responsibility on the customer. And if you are a foreigner, a tourist, you will have no recourse.
1. People parking next to your parked car could bump the car - you'll pay.
2. Whilst driving, a small stone could be thrown from the tire of the vehicle in front of you and hot the hood of the car - you'll pay.
Neither of these were "caused" by the renter, but FoxAutoRent will make you pay.
3. They claim to have a record of all car damages. However, to be sure, the renter needs to carefully video record the entire car with a mobile phone, to ensure when the vehicle is returned, they cannot claim damages. But, they will find something.
4. They will put the ENTIRE burden on the renter. Zero customer service.
5. READ carefully all the negative reviews online on the various review sites. 95% of all reviews complain of issues regarding alleged damages and the damage deposit not getting returned. Do not take my word for it. This is only my experience, so read all the other reviews. You might see a clear pattern of conduct by FoxAutoRent. They even threatened me with repercussions if I posted a negative review, however as a consumer, it is my lawful right to publicly share MY personal experience.
All other prospective renters should make their own decisions based on their own online research and reviews.

Review of Silversea Cruises
Since Royal Caribbean has taken ownership the company is no longer 6-star; at best it's a 4-star cruise line for the moment. Welcome onboard no longer offers a butler greeting or champagne; instead you get handed a face towel - thats it!
RCCL has cut everything; all the extras in the suites, and in fact, the Silversea ships are now instructed to use at least 30%+ frozen fruits and vegetables onboard; in dishes where it will not be noticeable; drinks, smoothies, desserts, steamed veggies, stews, soups. RCCL appointed a new CEO, and many new SVP's across the Silversea fleet in all departments. They are replacing all Silversea procedures with RCCL procedures in an attempt to aggressively cut costs and create revenue. Cheaper brand of champagne onboard now. Many previous in-suite amenities have been eliminated or must now be requested. The only water you get in your suite now is the filtered water called Vero which they refill the bottle onboard. Food portions are getting smaller. For proteins in the buffet, they are offering more cheap fish and less premium meats, roast beef, hams etc.
They are moving away from included excursions to where all excursions will be chargeable. And to save money, Silversea is tendering more and more each cruise, instead of docking to save the port fees. This means docking further away from the centre of towns and having to use limited shuttle bus services. It's cheaper for Silversea to hire 1 or 2 buses than to pay docking fees.
And don't be surprised if they add more tendering ports as your cruise progresses. It was happening every cruise. It's an ongoing attempt to cut costs at the expense of the guest experience. But they're not worried because they've now grouped the RCCL, Celebrity and Silversea loyalty programs into ONE!
As such, whatever Silversea guests they lose as a result of all the cutbacks, they can easily replace them with guests from Celebrity and RCCL because their loyalty level at RCCL /Celebrity will be recognised equally with Silversea Cruises.
For the money you are spending on Silversea cruises, you should expect a luxury experience without compromises or excuses.
Review of bud.hu
6 hour delay with no information. Supposed to en a 7:15pm departure. Display board at BUD contradicted information we received by Wizz Air on website. Never any SMS update from Wizz Air. At 9pm we received a $6 voucher for food - hahaha....$6 for an airpot meal? lol.
All the shops and food services close at 8:30pm so getting this coupon after the services are all shut was a joke. You buy cheap, you get cheap.
Finally plane departed close to 1:00am with no support from Wizz Air and no communications after the flight.
Why doesn't the airport service remain open until at least 10pm each night as there are so many later evening flights. We are encouraged to check in 3 hours early which means I spent 9 hours at that airport. Ridiculous. No airport services available. I wish I could include a photo of how busy the airport departure waiting areas were - thousand smog people with no where to go, nothing to buy, not even. coffee or bottled water. I felt sorry for the parents and all the small children laying all over the floors.
Review of Government of Canada
Typical government employee phone service - useless, unhelpful, not interested in providing answers. It’s quite disappointing really.
Review of TELUS
They never answer the phone - on hold for hours - call back never happens. Constant incorrect charges and over-billing. Just horrible service.
Review of dollarama.com
Dollarama- Seymour Street - Bay Parkade Vancouver.
As a local businessman employed with a large international e-commerce company located in the area, I had a bad experience with a Blackbird Security Indian at Dollarama on Seymour Street in Vancouver on Saturday Feb 05 at 1:30 pm. He was walking the floor in an arrogant manner, whilst on his phone, purposely bumping into me twice, then stopping and turning around aggressively asking, "gotta problem?". Clearly he is looking for a reason to engage customers in an aggressive manner. New PR arrivals to Canada need to learn our social norms and conduct - especially if they are interacting with the local public on a daily basis in a business.
This store is located in a downtown area of Vancouver populated with homelessness, mental health challenges and drug addiction. These fresh off the boat Indian Blackbird Security staff treat all the locals as criminals. Dear Blackbird, if you are going to put your newly arrived Indian security staff into inner city Vancouver locations like Dollarama, they need training in mental health, drug addiction and how to identify and manage the conduct of these citizens, and stop profiling challenged customers as criminals.
This Indian security guy, should be fired. He should be on an overnight construction site. His has zero social skills and this makes him dangerous to the vulnerable local public.
