Guest Reviews & Testimonials - Turn Feedback into Bookings
Your guests are your best marketers. At Today Hospitality India, we help hotels showcase real guest experiences and strategically collect feedback to boost direct bookings, online trust, and SEO rankings. Here’s how to make every review count.
How to Effectively Display Reviews on Your Website
Create a Visually-Rich Testimonials Section
Homepage Highlights: Showcase 3–5 impactful quotes from real guests.
Example: “Exceptional hospitality and stunning views!” – Akash, Delhi
Photos & Videos: Add guest selfies or video testimonials to build authenticity.
Filters: Let website visitors sort reviews by stay type (e.g., family trips, business visits, romantic getaways).
Live Review Feeds That Build Social Proof
Integrate Widgets: Use tools like TripAdvisor, TrustYou, or Yotpo to display real-time reviews.
Floating Banners: Add snippets like “Rated 4.9/5 by 800+ Happy Guests” to key pages.
SEO-Friendly Review Pages
Create separate review landing pages titled “What Guests Say About [Hotel Name]” or “Top Guest Reviews in [City]”.
Use schema markup so your star ratings appear in Google results—great for clicks and credibility.

One boutique hotel added a “Guest Stories” gallery with real guest images and quotes.
👉 Result: 25% increase in direct bookings in just 2 months.
