Hotel Listings - What to include?

blacknight · #1 (**permalink**) 17-12-2007, 01:10 AM

I'm working on a hotel directory at the moment (in my spare time - so it's taking forever!)

What attributes would be useful to list apart from the website address and a basic description?

obviously ...
Star Rating

then ... for me
Average Room price ...
MidWeek offers
Restaurant
Bar
24hour room service
Local facilities ... golf
daycare /childminders or similar (no idea if this gets offered in any hotel)

Potentially a feedback thing on your site ... but that'd probably get a bit serious and require a lot of moderation / work

All I can think of at the moment

WiFi ... exists / pay / free ...
Net Access from rooms

both pretty important if you're in business travel

Checkin Times ( if you're on budget travel you can find you arrive at 1 in the morning at your destination will they be open ... in this case I'll use rome as the example ... you can get very cheap flights that arrive around 11 at night ... getting to city center takes another hour ... and then finding your hotel another 1 .. would make it 1 in the morning)

Online Bookings ... not everyone has them and a lot of people like being able to book online

Maybe some functionality like i have on the venues listing at Dublinnites, example: Dublinnites :: Clubs :: Heaven :: Dublin's Premier Pub, Club & Restaurant Rating Site

How do you deal with people clicking 1/10 for their reviews ?

Its a valid review but it may not be truthful

The google Maps bit in this day and age ... is a bit of a must have

Its just based on a personal experiance, a general guideline of how people feel about the place, obviously some people will lie but that will happen anywhere!

I've been accepting reviews / comments on armchair.ie's listings for ages

The main thing I have to watch out for is the extremists

Looking at the listings options ...

Should I specify "broadband" or "wifi" OR both?

Forbairt · #10 (**permalink**) 17-12-2007, 05:45 PM

its a weird one .... knowing someone who was installing broadband and wifi in the same hotel ... I'd have to say they are kinda two different things

Ethernet in certain rooms no wireless in the rooms
Wifi in the main lobby region / bar
