the way hotels and resorts are comparing
the service and hardware of their
properties versus the competitors

By management walk around and verbal engagement with guests.

Positive reviews 积极的评论
How to stimulate 如何激起积极评论?
- Pay attention to OTA bookings (room assignment, amenities…)
-关注旅行社预订(分房、客用设施设备….)
- Warm and personalized service exceed guest expectations
-热情而个性化的服务 超越客人期望- Pick suitable guests to invite personally ( repeating guests, honeymooners,
families, long stay guests …)
挑选合适的客人并亲自邀请(常客,蜜月客,家庭客,长住客…)
Important to thank the guest for a positive review: can be decided individually
by each hotel if online reply or personal thank you note is preferred
感谢客人给予积极的评估很重要: 各酒店可以自己决定是否需要在线回复或者是给出个性化的感谢信

Utilizing conventional data information
and “time honoured” feedback practices
to gain a service edge
• ‘Service’ can be always changed during stay,
should have the awareness and quick action to
change bad to good
• Comment action meetings: location, service,
facility, cleanliness
• GM in the lobby: 20 minutes – Breakfast; 20
minutes – Lunch; 20 minutes – Dinner
22
Discovering Ways to Secure Positive
Reviews 发现保持好评的途径
• Build a strong guest lobby team (between 8 and 10 staff for a 300 room hotel)
• Guests need repetition, they want to be re-cognized
• Give empowerment to the lobby team
• Sign bills, meals/coffees, upgrades
• Have your team call each guest within 15 minutes after check-in
23
• Call following day, those guests who have booked online
via a top channel
• Walk around, GM speak to guest and staff
• Look to be proactive prior to arrival and during the guest
stay.
• Recognize a problem before check out.
• Create a team to review the comments. Lists them into
Location, Cleanliness, Service, Facilities
