Before booking, we always check the reviews first, don’t we? And we’re not alone in this. Studies have shown for years that the vast majority of travelers (often over 80%) read guest reviews before booking.

You’ll have the smallest ecological footprint if you use cream soda syrups that you carbonate or mix with sparkling water yourself.)
