What countries you were keen to visit turned out to be the most disapponting?

For me:

Bangladesh
Mauritius
Suriname
Argentina
Bulgaria
Djibouti
Macao

I'm curious to know what you expected from Argentina and what you found it, and where you were (The country can be disappointing indeed).

Las Vegas and Orlando were really disappointing to me. Two of the most boring cities on the planet IMO.

There are no dissappointing countries, just dissappointing travellers.

Orlando and Las Vegas are not COUNTRIES.
Where else "on the planet" did you travelled?

I have been to more than a dozen countries but did not find any place disappointing except those 2 cities in the US.

To say the truth, none.
In fact, some of them surprised me positively. I found the germans much more smiling and helpful than it's usually said about them. And while I was expecting London to have all of the good and bad things expected from a city of 7 millions inhabitants, with people from everywhere in the world... I couldn't find any single taint to complain in the city.

I can't say I found any of the countries I've visited disappointing, but probably IF I had to put one at the bottom of " would I return to" list, it would be Austria.

You have to realize though, that that's a big if, since I do want to return to it, but not as much as other countries. Possibly because I found it a bit boring, and the landscape similar to home. Still gorgeous though, and I want to do a river cruise one day.

2010 when I first set my foot to Europe, destination? BULGARIA. It was a total disappointment because I was expecting similar to what I see on TV about western Europe. Then one year after, I went to ROMANIA which I think a much better country than the former.

Belgium, boy do I dislike that country - or to explain it better I've had a few annoyances in that country which have tainted my view. However, to be fair I haven't been to Antwerp or Bruges, so maybe my opinion will change when I go. I tend to give countries a second or even a third chance if I can, I generally understand that events can be circumstantial and sometimes its just not your day.

in Argentina, I found people working in service professions to be rude and unhelpful. Like they are obstinately working to rule. I tried really hard to like Argentina, on about five visits -- I just couldn't. Salta, Rosario, Mendoza, Neuquen, but not BA.
