Hotel complaints in Turkey increased by 168 percent in one month

In July, the number of complaints about the tourism sector in Turkey increased by 168 percent compared to June. Turizm Güncel reported this. According to the publication, over the course of a month the number of complaints nearly tripled.

The most prominent topics in the complaints were service quality, hygiene and reservation refunds. In other words, the dissatisfaction is not only about prices — the level of service the guest experienced during their stay at the hotel and the refund process also became a subject of dispute.

Such a jump in the number of complaints shows that many establishments are not prepared, in terms of processes and staff, for the peak volume of guest flow.

The summer season in Azerbaijan also brings a similar load. For hotels and guesthouses in Baku and the regions, this signal points above all to the importance of clearly writing cancellation and refund rules in advance, as well as making hygiene control part of the daily work routine.
