We are pleased to announce that Glion Institute of Higher Education is partnering with a leading online publisher and events organizer, International Hospitality Media (IHM) and guest feedback and online reputation management specialist GuestRevu to launch a set of awards that will be presented at an awards ceremony held at the 2017 Boutique and Lifestyle Hotel Summit in London on May 22/23. This event is usually attended by more than 250 key senior executives from the hospitality industry.
The awards – called the “BoHos” – will reward the boutique, lifestyle and hybrid hotels who provide the very best in guest experiences. The winners will be decided by the hotels’ guests, using a combination of aggregated verified guest feedback from review sites and booking engines worldwide, and direct guest feedback via questionnaires. Each will have a 50 per cent weighting in a hotel’s overall score to give a true picture of the guest experience provided.
The awards are open to any UK or international boutique, lifestyle or hybrid hotel. To enter they need to be using a guest feedback and online reputation management solution in order to provide the necessary verified guest reviews. If they don’t currently have a solution, GuestRevu is offering a free 2 month trial, worth up to £300, to hotels who wish to sign up and enter.
The award entry period runs from January 25th to February 28th. Then each hotel’s data will be collected over a two month period, starting from the 1st March. At the end of the two months, each entrant’s guest reviews and direct feedback will be independently evaluated, scored and ranked by Glion students.
