Abstract

This study used online reviews on a well-known website that allows guests to generate reviews immediately after use of service, to provide a different and more realistic picture of hotel customer satisfaction in the hospitality industry. By combining quantitative and qualitative data, this huge data source was exploited to obtain significant amounts of valuable information for service quality improvement. Customer reviews of 106 hotels from 3-star to 5-star in Khanh Hoa, Vietnam provided additional evidence of the contribution of diverse service quality dimensions to customer overall ratings. Particularly, the main findings also pointed out the variability of customer overall rating and their evaluations of service quality depending on hotel segments and customer's purpose of stay. From these results, hotel managers could draw meaningful implications of customising service quality aspects to satisfying customers and enhancing customer online scorings. Moreover, we emphasised the insights that online customer feedback brought to both researchers and practitioners.
