Some people are impossible to impress. Imagine a person who looks at a 5,000-year-old monument and downplays it as a pile of rocks. Or someone who goes to a castle that was originally built in 1068 and calls it a 'Disneyland wannabe'.

They shouldn't be allowed to visit the United Kingdom. But they're not only traveling to the country, they're trashing it public on Tripadvisor, leaving one-star reviews to some of the world's top attractions.

I just hope they're doing it as a joke, otherwise we have to call the Queen and tell her she needs to sign a few deportation papers ASAP!

The United Kingdom is the 10th biggest tourist destination in the world, with over 37 million visiting the country in 2018. The tourism industry contributed to £213 ($284) billion to the country's GDP in 2017, and this number is expected to grow to £265 ($353) billion by 2028.

Tripadvisor itself describes it as "a country filled with epic landscapes, fairy-tales castles and vibrant modern cities bursting with unforgettable experiences to share. Whether it's gazing at the London skyline from the top of iconic St Paul's and sipping the finest single malt whisky in a pub in the Scottish Highlands, or tracing footsteps of Banksy in Bristol, discovering musical legends in Liverpool and exploring the history of Cardiff Castle in the stunning heart of Wales, there’s a Britain that’s perfect for you."

But don't worry even if you visit the UK just for one night and the only place you go to is the pub. British people tend to find humor everywhere, including dark or bad situations. However, they often use sarcasm and take the occasional stab at someone else’s expense, so it's important not to take these jokes to heart as they are only meant in jest.

To even suggest knocking down Stonehenge for an arcade is unthinkable. But if you're going to replace it with Funfair, I'm in!

A bit over embellished about risking your life having that photo taken. It is a pedestrian crossing and cars are meant to give way.

Defiantly - adv: in a manner that shows resistance and/or refusal (v: to defy - to resist, to refuse). Definitely - adv: without any doubts.

Tell me about it. Those very large many plants are a total snooze fest. If you want a real dose of adrenaline I suggest you climb up the Monkey Puzzle trees or run through the stinging nettles- you might get some nasty gashes over your body, but man, that will really get you out of those boiling greenhouses and into a nice, chill hospital room.

Do they believe in punctuation? That was a long run on sentence that made zero sense and incorrectly used the world defiantly. It’s not fair stupid people get to be rich and travel

Perhaps the reviewer was using the stream of consciousness technique of writing. LOL But, 'defiantly' was definitely used incorrectly.

What did you think you would see in a botanical garden? It's all plants. Another word for greenhouse is a hothouse. They have to keep the plants moist and warm.

Kew Gardens are a very special memory for me, spent a lovely spring day there. It's what I preferred most during a Bank Holiday in the early 70's. When ever I feel blue, I imagine myself lying down on the most beautiful lawn where I spent the afternoon. The glass house is absolutely gorgeous with it's amazing architecture. Vive GB.

"The greenhouse is boiling!" SMH! That's how greenhouses work and it's beautiful inside. Clearly not a person with green fingers.

What did this person think a garden is.....? Obviously it's many plants Flowers and etc... Almost every tourist attraction food and such is over priced or a bit more expensive... It's how they bring in profit

Even as a kid sixty years ago I found all the different plants and such fascinating. Youngsters nowadays would prefer being at home looking at vacuous social media sites like Facebook.

People travel to see this? It looks the same size and beauty as our conservatory in St. Paul MN. I love the place, but I can't imagine anyone travelling just to see it.

The food is waaaaaay overpriced. A carbonated beverage for four times the price of one in the local supermarket!

Not even by the fact that the highest point in the castle is occupied by aa chapel dedicated to those who fought and died in the service for the freedom of Scotland and the rest of the UK?

I love Warwick Castle, it’s a beautiful building and they show you how it was used with displays and mannequins as well as live performances, but the added costs on top of an expensive ticket are ridiculous.

What is it with people an wanting historical sites to be destroyed or changed just so they (the people who want this) can enjoy the fact that a historical landmark was ruined for them. Like wtf?!

Do any of these people actually know the history of Stonehenge or do they just think it’s a pile of rocks? Also on a side note, do they offer helicopter tours that fly over Stonehenge? You can see what it is better from an aerial view.
