Customer Reviews Tell All about Hotels in Europe
In the new age of the internet, businesses are forced to deliver rather than depend on high dollar marketing campaigns. In an effort to create the most consumer friendly discount hotel bookings experience, EuroBookings.com exposes all in its high profile customer reviews.
Amsterdam, Netherlands, February 22, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Gone are the days when the hotels with the greatest promotional ability could corner the market. Transparency in the travel and tourism industry is among the many ways that the internet has changed the face of business and created a more consumer-friendly marketplace.
“When a website like EuroBookings.com opens the lines of communication to the individual consumer in the way of customer reviews, all of the dollars that hotels have spent on advertising go by wayside and the experience alone is put to the test,” says Marcel Stillekens, co-owner of EuroBookings.com http://www.eurobookings.com.
As part of its commitment to extreme consumer satisfaction, the popular European discount hotel booking website has taken numerous measures to ensure that the voices of its customers are heard. “Our goal is to not only provide our customers with the great rates they expect when they arrive, but also the quality of service they expect,” says Stillekens.
Customer ratings and other interactive communication methods have become a characteristic of the new wave of internet businesses. A new age of online businesses realize that even one consumer opinion about a product or service, whether that be positive or negative, is more valuable than countless pages of corporate generated content. Today’s savvy internet consumers have grown to understand the value of the internet to afford this transparency and say they prefer to utilize websites that offer a platform for user interaction in the way of comments, reviews, and voting.
“One out of three of our customers write a review about the hotel in which they stayed. We gather an enormous amount of reviews each day—between 600 and 800 per day. 60% of the reviews which we receive from our customers are from business users. More then 95% is a positive review. The rest is leisure travel, of which comments are also positive but more critical,” Stillekens says.
The company is adamant about a ‘no surprises’ experience for its customers. In addition to the customer ratings on every hotel listing, EuroBookings.com has designed its business in such a way that travelers don’t pay for hotels until they arrive on-site to ensure that they are never surprised by lower rates at the hotel than were published at the time of the booking.

Stillekens says that the company’s choice to design its website and business around a commitment to consumer advocacy has proved a huge success with its customer base.
