5 Do you know what criteria make a hotel become a four or five -star hotel? The
unit will give you a general view of the star ratings.
6 One Star: Basic accommodations with minimal services and amenities; often
budget-friendly and suitable for travellers seeking the most affordable option.
Two Stars: Budget hotels that provide a bit more comfort and services than one-
star properties. Still, they are typically no-frills and may lack extensive
facilities.
Three Stars: Mid-range hotels that offer comfortable rooms, more services, and
amenities like restaurants, room service, and possibly fitness centers or pools.
These cater to travellers looking for a balance between comfort and
affordability.
Four Stars: Upscale hotels known for their quality service, well-appointed
rooms, and additional facilities such as fine dining restaurants, spa services, and
business centers. Often chosen by travellers seeking a higher level of luxury.
Five Stars: Luxury hotels that provide exceptional service, top-notch amenities,
and an indulgent guest experience. Expect spacious, well-designed rooms,
gourmet dining, premium spas, and more. These are ideal for travellers looking
for the finest accommodations.
7 Regarding hotel amenities and services, some problems might arise during or
after hotel reservations. For example, the reality of a hotel might not be the
same as it is advertised online. There are some unexpected situations that a
hotel guest might experience. Problems can be related to:
- Guest information
- Services
8 Therefore, if you work for a hotel, you should learn how to deal with
customers’ complaints either via email or on a phone call.
9 Here is one example of a complaint letter from a hotel guest.
I recently had the opportunity to stay at your hotel, and while there were aspects
of my stay that I enjoyed, I feel compelled to address some concerns regarding
the facilities.
Lastly, the fitness center was in poor condition. Several pieces of equipment
were out of order, and the overall cleanliness left much to be desired.
I understand that issues can arise, but I believe it's important to maintain the
quality of facilities to ensure guest satisfaction. I hope you can address these
concerns promptly to enhance the overall guest experience.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing from you
soon.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
- Apology
11 In the letter in response to the previous complaints, you can see the main points
of dealing with a complaint. The writer expressed sincere apologies for the
inconveniences & greatly value feedback. Most importantly, he/ she gave
explanations and immediate actions. For example:
- As for the fitness center, we have taken your feedback to heart and are
undertaking immediate steps to address equipment maintenance and
cleanliness.
12 And here are some suggestions for dealing with complaints on a phone call.
You should:
- Listen attentively
- Offer solution(s)
Whether you deal with a customer’s complaint via email or on phone, the steps
are basically the same. An unhappy customer expects professionalism,
empathy, and immediate actions.
13 Next, I’d like to show you 7 main departments in a hotel. If there is a complaint
from a guest, you can identify which department is in charge.
