If Fictional Worlds Had Yelp Reviews

 (Because even magical kingdoms can’t escape bad customer service.)

 


1. MORDOR — 

“Too many stairs. Too much lava. Zero handrails. Customer service nonexistent — had to walk myself the whole way to the volcano. Also, giant flaming eyeball won’t stop watching me while I sleep. Would not recommend unless you enjoy despair and mild heat stroke.”
Frodo B.

Pros: Great views, excellent for cardio.
Cons: One does not simply… enjoy Mordor.


2. HOGWARTS SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY — 

“Food is amazing, ghosts are friendly, but safety protocols are nonexistent. Nearly got eaten by a three-headed dog in week one. Also, 50% chance your professor is evil in disguise.”
Hermione G.

Pros: Free housing, teleporting staircases, magic everywhere.
Cons: Basilisks, trolls, homicidal textbooks, unpaid house-elves.

Owner Response:

“We take student safety seriously. All future Dark Lords will be dealt with after final exams.” — Headmaster M.D.


3. WESTEROS — 

“Weather is nice until the zombies show up. Zero job security for nobles. Weddings are traumatizing.
Sansa S.

Pros: Gorgeous castles, dragons, ale.
Cons: Betrayal, plague, child kings.

Update: Dropped from  to  after another invasion and surprise beheading.


4. NARNIA — 

“Came through a wardrobe expecting adventure. Got frostbite and roped into a war with a talking lion. Also, time dilation is insane — missed 12 years of Netflix.”
Lucy P.

Pros: Friendly beavers, great fur coat fashion.
Cons: Evil snow witch, limited Wi-Fi, occasional spontaneous prophecy.


5. GOTHAM CITY — 

“Loud at night. Constant explosions. Billionaire vigilante keeps denting my car chasing clowns. Rent is too high for a city that’s always on fire.”
Anonymous Commuter

Pros: None.
Cons: Literally everything.

Owner Response:

“Justice has no curfew.” — B. Wayne


6. RIVENDELL — 

“Peaceful, beautiful, everyone sings for no reason. I came for one night, stayed for 200 years. Elrond’s hair game? Flawless.”
Aragorn S.

Pros: Excellent ambiance, eternal youth.
Cons: Hard to leave. Like, literally impossible.


7. THE DEATH STAR — 

“Got a great deal on a timeshare, but the place exploded before checkout. Also, terrible air circulation. Long hallways with no exits. Staff mostly clones.”
Wedge A.

Pros: Big open concept design, perfect for dramatic entrances.
Cons: One thermal exhaust port ruins everything.


8. NEVERLAND — 

“No taxes, no bedtime — great for kids! But pirates constantly shoot at you, and the mosquitoes are the size of small birds.”
Wendy D.

Pros: Flying! Eternal youth! Mermaid lagoons!
Cons: Creepy immortal boy won’t stop following you around.


9. FORKS, WASHINGTON — 

“Rains constantly. Locals sparkle in sunlight for some reason. The high school cafeteria is 80% awkward staring.”
Bella S.

Pros: Romantic vampires.
Cons: Romantic vampires.


10. MIDDLE-EARTH AIRLINES — 

“No flights available. Apparently we have to walk to Mordor. Again.”
Every Hobbit Ever


11. RACCOON CITY — Zero 

“Checked in for a work trip. Everyone’s dead. Still got charged a cleaning fee.”
Jill V.

Pros: None.
Cons: Zombies, evil megacorp, everything’s flammable.


12. THE SHIRE — 

“Charming cottages, second breakfasts, zero drama. Only downside is occasional wizard dropping by to ruin everything.”
Sam G.

Pros: Food, beer, fireworks, naps.
Cons: Adventure recruiters.


13. THE UNDERWORLD (GREEK EDITION) — 

“Beautiful rivers, great ambiance, but the ferry system is terrible. No return policy. Staff are… skeletal.”
Orpheus O.

Pros: Dramatic lighting, moody atmosphere.
Cons: Customer service literally ghosted me.


14. DISNEYLAND — 

“Honestly, this feels like every fictional world mashed together. Expensive but magical. I saw a duck wearing pants and no one questioned it.”
Mickey M.

Pros: Churros. Music. Talking animals.
Cons: $12 water bottles.
