HotelClub's customer survey is based on ratings and reviews from HotelClub customers
who have actually stayed in hotels booked on HotelClub. Consumers are asked to rate
the properties on a one to five scale based on cleanliness, facilities, service,
location and price; they also have free text where they can comment on any aspect of
their booking although this information does not influence the rating. These
results are then published online at www.hotelclub.net/hotel.reservations/ on each
hotel's page. There is currently over 3.5 Million ratings and reviews on the site
including over 1 million comments, with more ratings and reviews added daily.
