Managing Your Hotel Reviews in 2020

This has been a really interesting year, and even more so for the travel industry. While things have probably been slower for you in the past few months, you may find that you are experiencing an uptick in business which could mean an uptick in reviews for your facility as well. Here at BlueJay Reviews, we know that you want to make sure every guest receives the best possible experience, and a lot of that is learned through the reviews that they leave behind. Here are a few things you can remember as you maintain the reviews of your company, and how our team at BlueJay Reviews can help.


Do Everything You Can to Create a Wonderful Experience

As everyone has been experiencing a strange shift in habits and plans over the last few months, now more than ever, it will be important to make their stay comfortable. Go out of your way to make sure that your team is ready to be supportive and accommodating, find ways to make the guest’s visit even more meaningful, even if through brochures to guide them to the best activities in the area or restaurants to visit. Starting with this is a great way to start getting excellent reviews - the love is in the details!

Compile a List of Common Complaints

This will be important, even if a little frustrating. Find what the most common complaints have been in the past and put those items on the forefront of your repair lists. If they are commonly noticed among your guests before, they will be even more noticeable now as many are experiencing heightened emotions and observations.
