HolidayCheck въвежда нови правила (Code of Conduct) от 15 Април 2019. В бъдеще няма да се позволява на хотелите да използват техни собствени таблети и компютри, за да събират на място отзиви от гостите, както и се забраняват т.н. “HolidayCheck дни”.
Като глобален технологичен партньор на HolidayCheck, Reputize оперира своите сертифицирани терминали под специален лицензионен режим. Всички клиенти на Reputize, бъдещи и стари, ще могат да използват терминалите в пълно съответствие с новия Code of Conduct без риск от санкции от страна на HolidayCheck.
Съществуващите клиенти ще забележат незначителни промени в интерфейса, а именно текстовото поле за писане на отзива ще бъде премахнато от приложението на таблета и ще бъде добавена междинна стъпка, където гостът, след завръщането си у дома, ще може да добави отзива си на уеб интерфейс. Промяната е продиктувана от желанието да се улесни госта, както и да се увеличи броя на завършени анкети.
As of April 15th 2019, HolidayCheck’s rolls out a new Code of Conduct. In the future, it is no longer allowed for hotels to provide their own devices for writing reviews directly in the hotel, as well as to carry out review days and campaigns in the hotel, so-called “Promo Days” or “HolidayCheck Days”.
As a global connectivity and review publishing partner of HolidayCheck, Reputize operates its certified review terminals under special conditions.
All Reputize customers, both new and existing, will be able to continue using the terminals in full compliance with the new Code of Conduct and without risking any penalties.
Existing customers will notice minor changes in the interface, namely the review text field will be removed from the tablet application and a middle step will be added where the guest will write the review text on a web interface after they return home. The change is a result of both Reputize’s and HolidayCheck’s efforts to improve the guest experience, to increase the number of submitted reviews and to reduce the manipulation efforts.
About 1 million guest reviews are the basis for the HolidayCheck Award. 2019 is the 14th consecutive year that has awarded the most popular hotels worldwide.

In 2018, a total of 705 hotels in 38 countries and 142 regions – of which 99 received the Gold Award.
