    To me, addressing and resolving the negative feedback takes priority: • Respond Promptly: Address negative reviews publicly and promptly. Apologize for any inconvenience, explain how the issue has been resolved, and invite the guest to return. This shows potential guests that you take feedback seriously. • Implement Feedback: Use negative reviews as an opportunity to improve. Identify common complaints and make necessary changes to your check-in process or amenities. Communicate these improvements to guests to build trust and show your commitment to excellence.

    Your guests have all of the answers that you need. Listen to the feedback being given with an open and humble state of mind. Putting yourself in the guest's perspective and trying to absorb guest feedback without responding in a defensive manner will help to identify touch points that can make or break the arrival experience. Whether your team agrees with feedback or not, if the guests are taking time to point out things that stood out, especially in a negative way, they are worth the time and energy to find a creative solution that targets those touch points.
