What we found

  • Photo galleries often did not show each hotel's competitive advantages, mainly because the hotel content tool fed the OTAs directly and tagged some photos wrongly.
  • Room photos did not show the difference between room categories.
  • Replies to guest reviews were inconsistent in form and in timing.

What we did

  • Two audits of 35 hotels on Expedia, Booking.com and the hotels' own websites: about 70,000 content elements checked in the first round.
  • Advice to keep the content tool as the central photo store, but disconnect it from Expedia and Booking.com and upload the official photos by hand, in a strategic order.
  • Standards for answering reviews, and training for everyone who replies online.

“There is no perfect hotel: some improved their photos, others their content, and others the way they answer guest reviews.”
