On the home screen, we need to find the TripAdvisor tile
.
It has a green background, and in the middle is the TripAdvisor logo, which is an owl with two large hypnotic eyes. If the TripAdvisor tile has not been pinned to the home screen, swipe left and find it in the Apps menu.

.

Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
5
Once the application is loaded, swipe across the screen from right to left, and this will take us to the "near me" section
.
The words "near me" appear at the top left-hand corner of the screen in black.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
6
We want the "hotels" section, so press on the green button at the bottom with the word "hotels" on it in white
.

Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
7
Now, we have entered that section, and we can see all the hotels that are in our current location
.
In this section, we can sort the list in two different ways. One way is by popularity, and the other is by distance.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
8
Press down on the third icon of the three icons at the bottom of the screen
.
It is a green circle, and inside that circle are two arrows. One arrow is pointing up, and the other is pointing down. This will bring up the sort options. Unfortunately, there are only two options. It might be better if there were more options, such as finding hotels in certain price ranges or different styles or packages.

9
On this screen, if we press down on the word "Popularity", it is going to sort the list of hotels by popularity
.
This means by the reviews people have left for these hotels. Each hotel has a ranking system. There are five circles, and the circles are either green or white. The more green circles, the better the review, and the more white circles, the worse the review.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
10
The top review on this page has four circles that are completely green and one circle that is one-quarter green
.
Therefore, that's quite a good review. We can see now that these are all sorted by quality or popularity.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
11
If we scroll down, we'll see that the worst hotel on the list has four green circles, but that is still not bad, 4 out of 5
.
One or zero green circles out of five might indicate a reason to worry.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
12
Press the sort icon with the two up and down arrows at the bottom of the screen
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
13
Now, press down on the word "Distance"
.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
14
With this option, it is going to sort the list of hotels by how far away they are from our current location
.
In order for this to work properly, make sure that the TripAdvisor application and the Microsoft Lumia 535 are allowed to track your location.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
15
From the numbers of the right side of the screen, we can tell that distance is measured in miles
.
This can be changed to kilometers if desired. A video on how to do that can be found on this website.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
16
As we can see at the top of this list, the closest hotel is 0.19 miles away, the VIP Victoria Hotel
.
There are some others not too much further as well.
Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
17
We have sorted hotels in our current area by either popularity or by distance
.
