From Beds to Being on Top of Guest Reviews, Starwood is Brilliant at Focusing on the Obvious 
Global Hotel Company Gets What Matters Most to Guests: Listening & Responding 
When Westin Hotels and Resorts unveiled the Heavenly Bed hoteliers around the world 
could be heard saying, “Why didn’t we think of that?” From that point on brands started to 
focus on what many have since argued should be the focal point in a business where you are 
paying for a good night’s sleep: the hotel bed. 
Guests want to be listened to; they want to be heard. And responded to. By keeping a finger on the pulse of what is being said, and 
staying on top of management responses, brand loyalty -- and brand advocates -- are born. Globally Starwood has captured nearly 
528,930 new reviews this year (through mid September 2013) and responded to as many as 48% of reviews in some months, 
significantly higher than the industry average of around 25%. 
Let’s not forget that reviews, directly and indirectly, translate into revenue. Here’s a look at some of the numbers: 
• Hotels that respond to online guest reviews, whether positive or negative, average 6% higher review scores than those who don’t. 
• Higher-ranking hotels earn better visibility on review sites, which lends itself to a greater appeal amongst travelers, which in turn 
results in more bookings and revenue. 
• TripAdvisor studies have shown that 71% of travelers think that management responses are important. Hotels that respond to 
guests average 147% more reviews than those who don’t. (No surprise that Starwood gets hundreds of thousands of reviews in a 
few months!)

International Case Study
1. New Media can be your friend: Attacking is the best kind of defense. 
Address issues with sincerity and honesty. People understand. Emotionally engage. 
A You Tube video addressing people is better than a formal Press Release. 
Thumb rule 
in Online 
Reputation 
Management 
2. Build Inner Circle of Friends: People will trust third parties more than your 
in-house experts. Media, social media enthusiasts, opinion leaders, influencers, bloggers 
can all be part of it. Develop long term meaningful relationships with few. 
3. Respond Quickly and Effectively: News travel fast, address and arrest 
a crisis fast to control the damage. Take Online conversations offline. Admitting mistakes, 
acknowledging issues can go in the Company’s favour. Train the Team, manage efficiency. 
4. Engage and Build: Indian is an intelligent and an emotional nation. Keep their 
best interest of the audience as the top-priority. Value, appreciate and acknowledge their 
support. Build brand champions from the Social Media. 
5. Humanize the Brand: People don’t talk to Brands, they talk to people. Involve 
employees who are passionate about certain talk points to represent the Brand in the 
Social Media space. Train and empower them to talk on behalf of the Brand occasionally.
