Yesterday I posted about my experience at Le Meridien Dubai. I loved the hotel and thought the club facilities were gorgeous, though was put off by them begging me to write a positive review on TripAdvisor at check-out. I’m used to hotels asking guests in passing to consider writing an online review, but the way the associate asked me was next level.
I was asked to fill out a guest survey at check-out, which was followed up with the following conversation:
“Have you heard of TripAdvisor?”
“Yes.”
“Would you please consider writing a review on TripAdvisor saying good things?”
“Sure.”
“Please do, it is very important.”
“Okay…”
Then she handed me a piece of paper with her name on it.:
“Please mention my name.”
“Okay…”
“Don’t forget, it’s very important you do this. Thank you so much.”
I woke up to an email from the hotel this morning with the subject line “Your Stay.” I figured someone may have tipped them off about my post and maybe they wanted to acknowledge that they were coming across a bit strong.
Instead the email said the following:
