Motivation: Only managed to find one reviewer, after all others failed to respond or declined to review.

Rejected it based on the advice of that one reviewer, despite the fact the reviewer clearly didn't understand how the methodology aligned with the aims of the research.
Much of the feedback was difficult to understand, the reviewer's English was poor and so comments made little sense. Majority of the feedback was unhelpful and suggested completely redesigning the data collection, despite the data being sourced from literature.

Would have been fine with the rejection and the feedback, but the poor communication of the reviewer made it difficult to trust their opinions. Given the poor quality of the review, I didn't expect the editor to just accept the reviewers advice so readily, perhaps the journal needs a better selection process for reviewers.

Motivation: The review process was okay, but after acceptance something went wrong technically with the Elsevier system, and the last version of my article was lost in cyberspace. It took me many phonecalls (to India) and e-mails with the publisher's office to set it straight.

Motivation: Review reports were really good and they significantly improved the manuscript, but the review process was too long (a lot of time between submissions and editor decisions).
