TripAdvisor
Combines data from many sources (Concierge.com, Fodors, Frommers etc.) and
from users to provide a objective view of major destinations. It also
provides ratings for Hotels based on user-feedback and from printed travel
guides.
Gay information is mainly based on user feedback but is linked to the destination
information. Great for finding out what a hotel is really like!

and experiences to help each other travel smarter.
Since it is user-driven the gay content depends on users giving
their feedback and this can be variable both in accuracy and
depth.
