How Royal St Andrews Streamlined Guest Feedback and Online Reputation Management from Day One with GuestRevu

GUEST EXPERIENCE

Royal St Andrews implemented GuestRevu from the moment they opened to gather structured guest feedback, monitor online reputation, and understand guest expectations. This ensured the team could make informed decisions, improve service quickly, and support their broader destination-focused offering.

Why it matters: Opening a new hotel without reliable feedback systems can lead to blind spots that affect guest experience. Royal St Andrews needed structured insights from the start to meet evolving guest expectations and manage their reputation efficiently.

GuestRevu provides automated post-stay surveys and consolidated online review monitoring, allowing Royal St Andrews to collect detailed guest feedback across the hotel, spa and restaurants. With all feedback gathered in one place, the team can identify trends, respond quickly to online reviews, and use insights to refine both operations and guest communication.

Top 3 Core Objectives: Royal St Andrews wanted a structured, reliable feedback system from day one.

Collect Structured Feedback: The team needed to replace manual comment cards with automated surveys that captured consistent, detailed feedback across all departments. They wanted enough data from the outset to understand guest needs and make informed improvements.
Anticipate Guest Expectations: With guest needs constantly shifting, the hotel required clear insights into emerging trends so they could adjust services, amenities and communication proactively rather than reactively.
Manage Online Reputation Efficiently: Monitoring Tripadvisor, Google and Booking.com manually was too time-consuming. The hotel needed a consolidated system to track reviews, respond promptly and maintain a positive online presence.
