The parent comment is a tongue-in-cheek comment that emphasizes the negatives of a location because the commenter likes it so much.

The idea (and it's a semi joke) is that it will discourage more people from coming so it doesn't get spoiled.

A bit like telling people some tiny restaurant isn't all that good, because if too many people eat there, you will never get a table again.
