How a project works
Begin with the guest profile and the touchpoints that matter to your hotel. We agree the reservation scenario, stay or visit format, expenses, questionnaire and timing before matching a suitable shopper. Hospitality mystery shopping can focus on one part of the journey or a wider experience; access and practicality are confirmed first.
What reporting includes
Guest experience assessments record the sequence of events, service observations and scores against the agreed criteria. Reviewed findings distinguish what was observed from interpretation and identify service improvements to discuss with your managers. A later assessment can revisit the same criteria to track agreed changes.
Common questions
Does every assessment require an overnight stay?
No. The format follows the objective. A reservation enquiry, dining visit or broader stay can be discussed, with the scope and costs agreed before booking.
Can you assess concierge and housekeeping service?
Yes, where the scenario includes realistic requests and observable interactions. We do not inspect inaccessible operational areas or present an assessment as a safety or regulatory audit.
What should a hotel mystery shopping report include?
The agreed scenario, touchpoints, factual observations, relevant evidence where permitted, scores against defined standards and priorities for service improvement. The questionnaire is agreed before the visit.
