During the last two years, there has been an explosion of reviews onto the vacation rental industry scene. Clearly the consuming public is gravitating towards reviews. More VR managers are adding them to their website because the economic climate calls for low-cost solutions.
Do you know of a website (maybe yours) that is using reviews in this niche? We are looking for examples of how it can be done!
- All Star Vacation Homes has their own ALL STAR guest reviews which are really quite compelling. Check out the contest to promote reviews, the signup form to add reviews… pretty much the whole system.
I am also a big fan of using a review management service that promise increased distribution to places like Tripadvisor or Google local using services like Flipkey.
- I like to see reviews on the homepage (example) and property pages (example and example). Next we should start seeing reviews attached at all levels of the process, like search results… review based rankings may become as important as a photo… price… in the buying process!
