Since 2016, the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group has continuously leveraged TrustYou's Reputation Management Platform to strategically optimize its unique and global guest experience. The partnership began with implementing the Analytics Platform to gain deep insight into guest feedback and identify areas for improvement; its impact was further amplified in 2021 with the successful launch of TrustYou Post-Stay Surveys, which delivered an immediate and significant boost to the guest response rate.
Why it matters: This partnership demonstrates how the world's leading luxury hospitality brands leverage advanced reputation management to capture actionable guest feedback, driving immediate improvement in service delivery and response rates.
  • Since 2016, TrustYou's platform has provided Mandarin Oriental with sophisticated Analytics to understand and act on guest feedback, later adding Post-Stay Surveys (launched in 2021) to significantly boost response rates and guest engagement.

Top 3 Core Objectives: The Mandarin Oriental Post-Stay Survey dramatically increased its response rate from 8% to 19%, providing critical global feedback in 15 languages, and focused on loyalty metrics like return and recommendation likelihood to drive up guest satisfaction and ADR.
  • Increase Survey Response: The response rate for the Post-Stay Survey grew from 8% to 19% over the first three months. This increase provides Mandarin Oriental with visibility into areas for improvement to enhance guest experience, drive higher feedback scores, and ultimately increase ADR (Average Daily Rate).

  • Focus on Guest Loyalty: The survey was specifically built to focus on loyalty by including questions about a guest's likelihood to recommend, their likelihood to return, and their loyalty to the Fans of Mandarin Oriental Loyalty Program. This provides insight into guest retention and satisfaction.

  • Global Customization & Insight: The TrustYou Guest Surveys were built in 15 languages, allowing Mandarin Oriental to collect critical insights on a global scale. The detailed data points collected include room number and staff satisfaction.
