Key Findings From The Report

  • Travelers are 3.9 times more likely to choose a hotel with higher review scores when the prices are the same
  • When hotel prices are increased for hotels with better review scores, travelers are more likely to book the hotel with the higher score even when it costs more
  • 76% of travelers were willing to pay more for a hotel with higher review scores, when asked explicitly
