Frequently Asked Questions
What happens after I enter?
Once you have entered and registered your property on GuestRevu LITE, your hotel’s online reviews, on Booking.com, Tripadvisor and Google will be collected, analysed and consolidated. The review data is then used to evaluate your performance. Guest review data will be collected for three months July-September 2023.
Following the data collection period, your reviews and feedback will be assessed, aggregated and scored by faculty and students at Stenden University and a shortlist of best-performing hotels in each category will be announced. The category and overall winners will be announced shortly thereafter.
