Play along and colour your city
Do you have a favourite restaurant, do you know a really wonderful hotel or a designer shop in Paris, London, Prague, Rome, Berlin, Copenhagen, or one of the other cities we write about at Momondo, now is your chance to share your experiences with the rest of us here on this site. You may add all the tips you want.
When you add a tip, you must simultaneously describe the atmosphere by giving the place a colour. It’s fun and easy!
When you share your favourite addresses with other users, you earn points and automatically participate in our prize draws. The more stars other users give your tips, the more points you earn. Higher ratings equal greater chances of winning! All you need is a profile at Momondo. It’s free and super easy.
Prizes will be drawn twice a month. In the middle of each month we will draw among the recommendations which we have received the previous 30 days. In addition, we will on the last Friday of every month have a draw where the prize poll is even bigger (residents in none-EU countries will receive a gift voucher which has the same value as the announced prizes). The competition is so continuous and the points you have earned, will as a minimum always be entered in last draw of the month. However a user can only win the monthly grand prize one time.
Quality is rewarded! If you share personal and inspiring experiences with us or do you often write useful comments to other user’s tips, you should of course also be rewarded. Therefore, we will frequently select our ‘Favourite-tipper’ and send him or her a prize.
You ‘own’ the place and earn stars.
When you’ve added a place with your review, you ‘own’ the place. Other users will be able to read your recommendation and evaluate the place by giving 1 to 5 stars.
Every star other users allot the place you recommend gives you one lot in our prize draws.
The stars (=lots) your recommendation gives you will count in all future draws.
You can lose your ‘ownership’ of a place . . .
Other users may add their own reviews of a place you have entered. Thus a place may have many reviews.
People can register how serviceable they think the review is, and if other users like another review better, you lose your ‘ownership’ of the place.
... but of course you may also take over ‘ownership’ of other users’ places.
You have the option of reviewing places other people have entered. If the users like your review better and deem it more serviceable, you ‘win’ the place, and the stars of the place will increase your chances of winning prizes.
Momondo reserves the right to change and adjust the conditions and terms of the competition. We have, for instance, considered using a ‘co-operative model’, in the sense that users who’ve reviewed the same place share the stars of the place between them. For now we’ll try the model outline above and see how it works.
Thanks to all our users for the many great places you've shared with us.
The draw took place on Friday the 12th of March at 12 o’clock and the lucky winners of an iPod Touch are:
Omen - The Best Japanese restaurant in New York.
Shared by Ranunkel
Heddon Street - The perfect place to start an evening out in London.
Shared by Helle
Wakeup Copenhagen - New designhotel in Copenhagen that is cheap, clean and has free highspeed internet.

Congratulations to all winners.
Terms and conditions (the fine print . . . )
Add more tips . . .
You may add any number of tips when you’re a registered user at Momondo. That means that you increase your chances of winning by writing about the finest places and venues in your own city or places you encounter while travelling. Truly fantastic places will improve your chances of earning more stars and lots afterwards.
You may give stars to other people’s reviews, but not to tips added by yourself.
It is important that you do not upload text or images that may be offensive or objectionable, and we reserve the right to delete user content if we deem it inappropriate for the site.
Should a contribution be flagged as improper by another user, we will assess the contribution and perhaps mail it back to the contributor to give him of her a chance to edit the content. Then we will reassess the content and determine whether it is published or deleted.
To be in the prize draw your tip has to contain text about the place you recommend which is not copied from a third part, and the editor will have evaluated the tip to be useful for other Momondo users.
If you win . . .
. . . once, you’re NOT excluded from future draws. You retain all your stars/lots and participate continuously in coming draws.
Each draw gives you the chance of winning one prize. We contact you at the e-mail address you have provided. If you do not respond within thirty days, we award the prize to another user.
