Avoid overbooking: “Almost Half of Walked Guests Likely to Leave Negative Review We’ve talked before about the importance of online reviews for hotels, and the effort it can take to recover from negative reviews. In response to being a victim of overbooking, nearly half of respondents—44 percent—say they would be “extremely likely” to leave a negative review, and 20 percent said they would be “moderately likely” to do so. Just 24 percent said they were “not likely at all." Source - Software Advice”
