If you've ever had the pleasure of visiting Ireland, you probably already know that the stunning Cliffs of Moher are a must see.
Thousands of tourists travel to County Clare each year to see the gorgeous landmark, which is well-documented as being one of Ireland's top tourist attractions - but that doesn't mean everyone will be impressed.
The Cliffs of Moher has more than 14,000 excellent reviews on TripAdvisor, the vast majority, and is clearly a hit with most of those who visit, the Irish Mirror reports.
But the fact of the matter is, you can't please everyone all of the time, but when you read what some of the lesser impressed visitors had to say, it does leave you questioning why they'd even bothered to visit in the first place.
One American tourist was unimpressed by the safety precautions taken on the cliffs, Bobby from Oklahoma said: "Continuous 4.5 foot flagstone slabs set 15 feet from the cliff edge have been placed around the most scenic areas, presumably to keep idiots and small children from falling off.
"The result is often that only the top halves of the cliffs are visible even for someone quite tall like myself. The brochure I was given mentioned puffin birds on a lower cliff, but this was completely obscured by the barriers.
"Long stretches of the walled path are only wide enough for 1 person a time and border a barbed, electrified fence (thankfully turned off). Squeezing by others over several hundred meters while trying not to snag yourself on barbed wire greatly reduces the romance of the vistas."

The visitor centre actually clapped back at this review, emphasising just why these slabs are needed, they said: "The flagstone walls are built using Liscannor stone it has been used for centuries by local people to ensure a safe distance is kept from the cliff edge by humans and animals alike.
"There are three main viewing platforms at the Visitor Experience, the main platform, and one North & South. You can also view the Cliffs from the top of O'Brien's Tower entrance is included with your admission ticket. Our staff are stationed around the site including the viewing platforms and are happy to assist with the best places to view the birds or the sea stack."
One Australian complained about the amount of people there, calling it the "Cliffs of more tourists", not expecting a vibrant crowd despite it being Ireland's most visited attraction.
They added: "Friends told me this was an unspoiled spot when they visited years ago - when there were no bus park, entry fee, strip of gift shops or crowds."
Another Dutch visitor had a similar issue: "The cliffs are spectacular. But there are so many people, that you feel like a sardine in a can. We went to the Fogher cliff on Valentia Island. No-one around, beautiful cliff, but way smaller than the Cliffs of Moher."
One unfortunate German tourist came on a very foggy day, and was fuming they didn't get a discount saying: "They charged the same price even if you can't see anything- 8€ per person. It's just a huge tourist trap!!!!!!
"The cliffs are probably stunning but there are a lot of great sightseeing points along the coast as well!"
