Should a hotel use trip adivsor reviews in their site ?
I think that it is a good idea so that customers wont be lost and will have only one source to find the website and will encourage direct booking, it will also increase customers confidencen increase recognition and visibility.

Should the hotel encourage customers tour operator comment on trip advisor ?
I depends if they want to share their experirence and if it is a good comment, they should post it, but it is very dangerous as bad comments can affect the company's reputation.

Trip advisor or plateform ?
it is better to have your own plateform in order to habe more visibility,have only one source to collect the feedbacks and , to increase  
and TA is too expessive

Four season Hotel George V
Yes, the George V has a table on its first page, saying "Avis en un clin d'oeil". This leads us to TripAdvisor reviews, Twitter and Facebook account.
It also has image link to facebook, twitter, instagram and pinterest.
It gives a text link to go and check them on the TripAdvisor website. No mention of ReviewPro.
However, it says according to TA "the 2nd best hotel in city", "Travellers choice 2014 winners". Ad no guest reviews at all.


Not enough, the only place where we can find a link to a review website is at the bottom page in a tiny icone, there is TripAdvisor, Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.

It does not include guest reviews at all.

The George V hotel answer to a lot of comments onec a month which can be good or bad and try t understand what went wrong during the  customers's trip in order to explain themselves.

Peer review



What the key findings of the research

- The Y generation or Millenials rely on other clients (peers) comments more than the older generation does; they are more "communicative"
- They are also more ready to try new products than older, which creates opportunity for the Hospitality industry, especially for independant hotels
- For instance, Getaroom website concentrates two ranking systems: one with points (1-5) and one including the Tripadvisor rankings
- Review Pro states that 90% of the participants to the study are influenced in their buying decisionby comments


What is the impact for hoteliers, hotel marketing
Hotelier can play with their guests comments by showing them on their websites and by answeringto them on OTAs and sites reviews.
Also, they can encourage their guests to put comments in order to influence potential clients.
What is interesting in the Generation Y is that they are looking for underground and unknown experience that could reflect on them. That is why marketers and hoteliers can create new concepts and base their communication on the word of mouth going on on the web.


Do you agree or disagree with the findings

I agree that we have to count on the generation Y to make a large part of our reputation. We can adress to them and adapt our communication strategy, paying attention to the reviews. I agree that we should encourage them to share about our hotels and new concept. I agree that we should pay attention to what is said because it is a way for us to know where to improve and what concepts to create.
However, it must be done carefully and we shall answer to every review patiently to demonstrate we care about our customer's experience.
