Every hotel is trying their best to retain their customers, satisfy them and create a good user experience for every guest. However, how can hoteliers know if their effort is actually yielding results if they don’t collect guest feedback?
Your customers experience in their own words is good data which you can use to improve your product and services and also make a good decision based on the data. Below we are going to discuss some of the importance of guest feedback.
Helps Improve Products and Services
You can have a wonderful product and at the same time offer an amazing service. The product and services you launched are usually done after conducting market research to understand if your hotel guest will be interested to book to your hotel.
But it is only when these guests have actually tried this product or this service will you know for sure the benefit, the flaws, and the areas of improvement for your product and services. So, your customer feedback will be able to tell you what is working and what needs to be changed.
Helps You Measure Customer Satisfaction
As a hotelier, you need to understand that your guest satisfaction directly affects your business performance either positively or negatively. We know you try your best as a hotelier to satisfy your daily guest, but how can you measure your guest satisfaction if you don’t get their feedback?
When you see your profit and your room booking rate drop, it is important that you get some feedback from your guests to better understand if their dissatisfaction is the cause of the decrease in the revenue. When this is done you can change or modify your services to better satisfy your guests.
Helps You Create the Best Customer Experience
Every hotel guest wants to have an amazing experience from their booking. Starting from the booking process in your hotel website or social media pages, your hotel front desk staff to your check-in and check-out process, it is not hard to turn a guest who has had an amazing experience in your hotel into a loyal guest.
That being said, the best way as a hotelier to give your guest an amazing experience is to ask them what they like and what you can improve about your product and services.
Guest Trust Customer Feedback More
When it comes to booking a room a potential guest usually reads the feedbacks and reviews of your hotel from other guests that had stayed and provided online reviews. Your job as a hotelier is to make sure that your guest is satisfied and that they have an amazing experience in your hotel. This will result in them giving positive feedback to their friends and online which in return, it will increase your room booking.
In conclusion, guest feedback is something a hotel can’t ignore. With guest feedback, a hotelier will be able to understand his guests better and how to serve them best.
