11.3 Response strategy: professionalism and empathy

The guiding principle in digital service management is to respond to all reviews – positive and negative – with composure. If a complaint is received, all defensiveness and online arguments must be avoided. Acknowledge the guest’s experience, apologise if appropriate, and offer a realistic solution or the opportunity to continue the conversation privately. Training staff in active listening and solution-finding significantly reduces the risk of serious negative feedback.
