[...] disagreed with Kooman when I first reviewed the site in January, and I still do. Sure, movies give a better idea of how a hotel looks like. But [...]

I wrote already on their blog, that there is a big problem: people who make a video want to get money. They get money if the hotel is booked. The hotel will be booked if the video looks nice. So they will never show the negative points of a hotel. That means that the videos are not neutral and can not be trusted by travellers who search for a hotel. Logical, isn’t it? And my comment has been deleted after a short while.

Does Trivop.com only pay 75 euro/video (including expenses)? I don’t see how a professional filmmaker can work in HD at a rate like that… or maybe they can also stay at the hotel they’re filming for free?

What does Tripr.tv give their professional filmmakers? No standard fee but only a commission on the sales through their movie, just like the amateurs, or am I missing something here?

Anyway, I like the concept, and I’d like to see the quality of user-generated amateur content on the website. Will all video content be tolerated (low-quality movies filmed with a mobile etc…)?

@Jan, I believe it could work, but will a video function be enough to build a ‘large’ hotel review site? Or are you more focussing on the niche hotel review market?

And I don’t know, I think a shaky amateur movie could be just as less saying as promotion photos from the hotel it self.

Nevertheless, lets just try it, next time i’m in a hotel my first video review is for Tripr :)

@sjors: Tripr.TV is different then Trivop and Travelistic.
Trivop pays an amount of 75 euro per video. You need to qualify to become part of their freelance network too. No ‘amateurs’ allowed. HD pro’s only.
Furthermore the benefit of Tripr.TV is that when your video generates lot’s of bookings you can earn more with Tripr.TV. It’s not a one time fee.

Travelistic is different then Tripr.TV. Take a look of Travelistics videos from Amsterdam. 26 videos but not a single hotel review (lots of Red Light District videos though…)
Tripr.TV is only showing reviews of hotels accommodations.
