Skoosh.com adds North American hotels
A hotel booking website which encourages users to complain about poor standards is expanding by adding properties in the US and Canada.
Hotels featured on Skoosh.com are vetted by “seasoned travellers” and customers booking through the site are asked to review the hotels they visit. Hotels receiving more than two bad reviews are struck off the site immediately.
The site encourages consumers to demand high standards from the hotels they visit and to name those that don’t come up to scratch so that individual properties can see where they can improve.
Managing director Dorian Harris said: “If we all work together to improve standards, hotels will soon realise that shabby rooms and bad service are not acceptable.
“We would encourage anyone unhappy with a hotel stay not to put up and shut up, but to make it clear that bad service is unacceptable. By booking through Skoosh, hotel visitors can use their experiences to help other consumers and raise standards across the industry.”
He added: “Every one of the hotels featured on the site is thoroughly researched by our team to ensure it is good enough for Skoosh customers, and customers are encouraged to review the hotels they visit.
“Any hotel with more than two bad reviews is instantly struck off the site. Our customers have been able to book hotels all over Europe with confidence, secure in the knowledge that our reviews are honest and straightforward and from March 2006 they will have the same reassurance when booking hotels in the USA and Canada.”
