As some people here seemed to be surprised that Germany is in the top ten list, may I ask why that surprises you that much? I guess hotels have other priorities when it comes to judging people...

And especially if I'm laying out fat tips to those same waiters and maids for cleaning up my mess, because I'm ON VACATION. Take those BS categories away and I think Americans do even better.

Britons didn't fair well in the Europe: "...in Europe, the British were seen by the hoteliers as the worst behaved." As for Americans: "US tourists also got top marks for generosity, as the biggest spenders and tippers. But they fell short on other counts as the least tidy, the loudest, the worst complainers and the worst dressed. " Please read the article before making uninformed comments.

Most Westerners have little idea about the difference between Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans. Plus it can be sometimes impossible to tell Americans and Canadians apart.

This is ratings from the HOTELS, not the other tourists or tourist sites. 2. There are good stereotypes and bad stereotypes. Just because there is a stereotype of the Japanese Tourist does not mean people hate them. 1. This is ratings from the HOTELS, not the other tourists or tourist sites.
