Numerous reviews containing details about dangers posed to holiday-makers at some Mexican resorts have been deleted by TripAdvisor, The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

The popular travel and booking website has been accused of removing posts in which travellers shared their experience of assault, robbery and rape, after multiple comments mysteriously disappeared from a forum earlier this year.

When planning a trip to the Mexican resort of Riviera Maya, a woman from Indianapolis used the online forum to ask other users if the destination was a safe place for her and her husband to travel to.

Within minutes, comments began to roll in, and within 10 days, the post had received 55 replies in total.

24 users assured that couple that there was no need for concern and even detailed some positive experiences from recent trips.

“Just got back on Saturday and never felt safer,” wrote one user.

Another said: “I live close to St. Louis and feel much safer in Riviera Maya then I do going to a Cardinals baseball game”

Four of the comments failed to answer the question at all, while the other 27 were hidden from the public.

Instead, users were greeted with messages from the company informing them the that comments had been deleted because they were “determined to be inappropriate by the TripAdvisor community” or not “family friendly.”

The website has yet to comment on the allegations.

Castlewood House in beautiful Dingle has been voted the best bargain hotel in the world. Yes, the world!

And that’s not all for the little B&B – they were also named No. 1 Best Small Hotel in Ireland.

The boutique hotel received the prestigious awards when TripAdvisor unveiled their 2014 Traveller Choice awards, as voted by travellers.

The pretty Co. Kerry hotel also ranked 70th in the world and second in Europe in the category of small hotel.

The bed and breakfast is Dingle’s newest boutique property and owners Helen and Brian Heaton boast that their hotel’s attention to detail sets the “standards where others follow.”

Obviously the owners were chuffed with the win.  Helen said: “It’s great for us and our whole team here. We put our heart and soul into the whole operation and when you get an accolade like that it is a great morale booster for everybody.”

She also believes that running a business is “very much a labour of love”. It’s obvious that the husband and wife love their hotel quite a lot.
