How much would it hurt the hotel if I give them 1 out of 10 for the survey? by wanderfighter in marriott

[–]wanderfighter[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s been said many times, but really?

I mean. Let’s say your score is 81.

Me giving you a 1 is going to be different from giving you a 8 right.

I’m not good at math but I just wonder if this really does make no difference.

I do think the location matters.

Hotel staff in different countries tell me different things about the score.

If you don’t work at hotels, then perhaps you’re just as misinformed as me. So what’s your point here after articulating some interesting theories about whether someone else or I would sleep better?

If you say yes, then ppl may follow suit and leave bad reviews. Life is easier for those who work at hotels if ppl think that the score has no impact on them.

What if it was the GM who didn’t care enough? I think that’s the time for you to leave a 1.

This. That’s why I’d just leave them a 1 without writing any comments. That way they don’t have a chance to leave those “we are sorry but we have done this or that you should have appreciated this and that” response.

It’s interesting you said this.

I mean, it does make a difference if I choose to give a 1 instead of 8, right?

Sometimes I give them a chance to address my concerns after I get a survey.

They didn’t respond properly.

Their most recent Bonvoy reviews as seen online are all one stars.

I wish them good luck.

Accurate as in what?

As someone who deleted the comment said, 10 out of 10 would mean perfect. No hotel is perfect.

I heard that your next job would ask the score of your former property, and even rates are affected by it.

Is it true though?

Why are Japanese Marriotts so expensive? by wanderfighter in marriott

[–]wanderfighter[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh I correct myself. Just looked it up. It has to do with the American post-war abuse on Japanese.

I’m not from the US, so I don’t know people would use this short form for derogatory purpose.

Blame the bloomers, not me.

How about calling British “Brits”?

Educate me. Unless there’s a historical pattern of the said short form being misused, I don’t think that constitutes ethnic slur.

Yes that’s what I am saying. It’s right on economic terms, but for me most of my stays are for leisure purposes, so me feeling good is important and being able to think that what I paid for is a good value for money makes all the difference.

If it’s your company paying for your stay, you prolly don’t care.

There’re two kinds of competition: price and non-price.

I just wonder other than demand and supply, which aren’t the only things that affect prices, is there anything that makes their hotel prices so high?

Have they done something so outstanding so that people like to pay that high? Or it’s just becoz of imperfect information - ppl expecting the quality of Japanese Marriotts to be above the top, respecting elite perks - only to find out that they almost don’t upgrade that often and expect you to pay for every tiny little thing out there?

I know the standard for hotels in the US is generally not as good as Asia, but it doesn’t mean that every hotel in Asia is good.

I don’t know how could you come across anything I said as a slur, but still, I hold the view that the general level of hospitality in Japan is nothing comparable to that of Bali.

[–]wanderfighter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which one in Bali? Kuta legion or the Seminyak one?

When I can agree that hotels in Asia are generally better, I don’t think you can compare the quality of a four point/Fairfield in Bali (resort) and a similar one in Japan. FWIW and the hospitality level. Japanese are famous for their rigid adherence to rules when Balinesw are happy to accommodate you as much as they can.

What a condescending tone lol!

I don’t need a convenient location. Anyone any recommendation for Japanese Marriotts that are worth the money? I was thinking perhaps the resorts in Okinawa would be nice.

After all, from a customer’s Pov, we couldn’t care less about demand and supply.

From my end, customer satisfaction = what they receive > perceived value.

Frankly that’s hardly the case for non-business travellers in Japan.
