What is Sentiment Analysis?

by | April 20, 2022

Sentiment analysis is a report that tells you how guests feel about your hotel. Many businesses use sentiment analysis to study social media posts about their brand. For hotels, the most insight comes from analyzing content in guest reviews. You can learn a lot about how guests feel about your hotel by reading reviews. 

You may be wondering how sentiment analysis works. Many times, computers are used to score and tag sentiment in reviews automatically and provide a report. Other times, human specialists can score sentiment analysis by hand, which is a more intensive process. Either way, it provides you with actionable data to make better decisions for your business.

As a hotel manager or owner, you should already know reviews are important. That’s because 81% of travelers reference TripAdvisor reviews when deciding where to stay. Travelers read your reviews and they make booking decisions based on them. Past customer experiences influence future guests. The insight gleaned from reviews can tell you:

  • how guests feel about your hotel
  • what features of your hotel guests like
  • what features of your hotel need improvement
  • how specific parts of your hotel impact your reputation
