Hotel & Resort Guest Stay Evaluation Survey

Captures how guests experienced a recent stay — room quality, staff service, check-in/out, value, and amenities — and uses a best-worst trade-off to show which amenities actually drive satisfaction. An AI follow-up digs into the specific moment behind the guest's lowest-rated aspect instead of settling for a generic complaint.

Q06
AI Interview

Identify the single aspect the guest rated lowest in the earlier ratings and ask them to walk through the specific moment it happened — what occurred, who was involved, and how staff responded if at all. If every aspect was rated highly, instead probe what one change would have made this stay the best they've ever had. Push past vague complaints ('service was slow') for concrete detail (what they asked for, how long they waited, what they expected).

That wraps up our survey — thank you for sharing your experience! Your feedback goes directly to our operations team and helps shape improvements for future guests.

What’s included

  • AI follow-ups

    Adaptive probes on open-ended answers that pull out detail a static form would miss.

  • Attention checks

    Built-in safeguards against rushed answers and low-quality respondents.

  • AI-drafted copy

    Wording, ordering, and branching written by the AI — tuned to your research goal.

  • Auto report

    Themes, quotes, and a plain-English summary write themselves once responses come in.

How it compares

We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.

Why this template

  • Covers the full stay journey — check-in/out, room quality, staff service, value, and amenities — in one guided flow rather than a single-purpose form.
  • Uses a best-worst (max-diff) trade-off on amenities to reveal which ones actually drive satisfaction, not just how each is rated in isolation.
  • An AI follow-up interview automatically identifies the guest's lowest-rated aspect from their own matrix ratings and asks a targeted question about that specific moment, instead of a generic 'anything else?' box.
  • Closes with recommend and repeat-stay likelihood plus traveler profile questions, giving a rounded satisfaction-and-loyalty picture, all summarized in an auto-generated report.

Jotform

Spa Guest Evaluation Form Template

This is a fielding-ready form template, but it's scoped to spa services rather than a full hotel/resort stay, so it doesn't cover check-in/out, room quality, or broader amenity trade-offs. It's built on Jotform's drag-and-drop form builder, which is easy to customize but static once published.

What it does well

  • Ready-to-use, easily customizable form builder
  • Familiar drag-and-drop interface for quick edits
  • Fits general guest-feedback data collection needs

Where it falls short

  • Scoped to spa services, not a full hotel stay evaluation
  • No adaptive follow-up questioning — same static questions for every respondent
  • No built-in trade-off method to identify which amenities drive satisfaction

QuestionPro

Guest Evaluation Survey Template

A general-purpose guest evaluation template on an established enterprise survey platform, applicable to hotel-style stays. It offers standard rating and open-text questions with QuestionPro's broader survey logic and analytics, but the template itself is static rather than adaptive per respondent.

What it does well

  • Backed by a mature survey platform with robust logic and reporting tools
  • Template can be adapted to various guest-experience use cases
  • Established analytics and dashboard ecosystem

Where it falls short

  • No adaptive AI follow-up that probes the guest's specific lowest-rated moment
  • No built-in best-worst trade-off analysis to rank amenity importance
  • No published methodology on how questions are scored or prompted
