ABSTRACT

Competition in the hotel industry is increasingly more intense, leading to customers making more and more unreasonable demands and complaints. Analysis of customer complaint behavior can provide a differentiation strategy for the overheated market by maximizing customer satisfaction and minimizing the number of complaints, This study utilized semi-structured, open-ended questions in interviews with 36 reservation department employees. Via positive analysis, four primary themes emerged: room cost, employees, customer demands, and other. Based on the findings, several suggestions are made to reduce customer complaints including standardized rate parity, consolidated management, better service, more up-to-date websites, and improved internal tasks.
