Introduction:

1. Do the ratings of people influence their choice?
Yes, nowadays people check the rating and reviews of the hotel before reserving any room. People who already visited the hotel can define better than the hotel management because people define the positive and negative points about the place, but management always represents good points of the place.
OR
Yes, I think most people look at hotel ratings before making a reservation. I believe it is very difficult to judge how the stay experience would be just by looking at the hotel and room pictures.

2. How do people reserve rooms?
Nowadays, many online websites are available through which people reserve their rooms. In addition to this, people who are not friendly with the internet use the telephone to reserve the hotel room or book a room when they visit the place.

Many factors influence people’s choice of hotel. First and the foremost is, place, means people prefer to select those near railway stations, bus stand, or airport. Second is the transport facility. Moreover, people also check online reviews about the place. Last but essential factor is the price and other facilities such as AC, TV wife.
OR
I think many factors influence people’s choices. The two main factors are the price of the rooms and the amenities available like air conditioning, TV, locker and so on. Internet ratings and reviews are also a major consideration nowadays.

4. What’s the difference between hotels in your country and hotels abroad?
I think there no significant difference in hotels nowadays. All national and international hotels provide similar facilities to all. There is only one difference that is, building design, hotels that are in the hill station and snowy area look different from the hotel that is in plain areas.
OR
I don’t think there is any particular difference in hotels. Today, there are hotels from chains like Taj, Hilton, Marriot all over the world. The design may vary depending upon the location, for example, beaches, hillsides etcetera. But as India has all these types of locations, nearly all types of hotels are available here.
