What is on the screen
A period — 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, 1 year, or Pick dates. A custom range includes both days you pick, read in your hotel’s own calendar. Four cards across the top:
The picture:
- Overall rating spread — how many guests gave each score, 1 to 5, with the share that gave 4 or 5 and the share that gave 1 or 2.
- Answers by channel — which road the answers came back on: WhatsApp, SMS, Email. Invitations that could not be sent are named and counted in no denominator.
- A pick-one question as a ring, when the survey has one — a share of the picks, never an average.
- Overall rating over time — by day or by week. A period with no answers is left out, never drawn as zero.
What you do here
1
Read the four cards, then the spread
The average alone hides a split room; the spread and Gave 4 or 5 show it.
2
Take the department table to that department
The count at or below the threshold is a fact about what guests answered. It is not a claim that the department moved the overall score — that is not measured, and the screen does not say it.
3
Open a subject under What guests wrote
The guests’ own words are behind it. Create a work order for this → opens a new work order in that department with the subject already written in.
4
Work the waiting list from the Guest Feedback list
Results shows the most recent of those still waiting; the full queue is on the Guest Feedback list under Needs Attention, where an entry is resolved.
How to read these numbers
The ? beside every survey title opens these rules. They are the method every figure on the survey screens follows.1. Answered so far — a count, not a percentage
1. Answered so far — a count, not a percentage
The big number is how many guests answered out of how many were invited in this period.It can only rise while links are still open, so it is never written as a percentage.The rate underneath covers only invitations whose 7-day link has finished — answered or not. That is what makes two periods comparable.
2. Why some invitations are not counted at all
2. Why some invitations are not counted at all
An invitation the messaging provider refused never reached the guest. It is named on the screen and enters no denominator.An invitation with no delivery record is read neither as sent nor as failed.
3. The overall question
3. The overall question
Every survey carries one overall question, and that is the only place a rating comes from.We never build a score out of the other answers: a low housekeeping answer beside a high restaurant answer does not average into a verdict on the stay.
4. “Did not use” is a real answer
4. “Did not use” is a real answer
A guest who never went to the spa is not unhappy with the spa.“Did not use” is counted beside the question and enters no average and no denominator.
5. When a percentage is not shown
5. When a percentage is not shown
Under five answers a percentage would mislead, so the counts are shown instead.A figure built on a small number of answers is marked as an early signal — read it as a hint, not a result.
6. How departments are ordered
6. How departments are ordered
Departments are ordered by how many answers fell at or below your follow-up threshold — the same threshold that alerts your team.They are not ordered by “which department dragged the score down”. Saying that would need enough answers to measure how each department moves the overall rating, and we do not claim it until the numbers can carry it.
7. What a low answer does
7. What a low answer does
A low answer alerts your team on its own — even under a five-star stay.This is the point of asking during the stay: the moment to fix something, not to report it.
8. What the comment analysis says — and does not
8. What the comment analysis says — and does not
Written answers are read a few minutes after they arrive and grouped by department and subject, with the guest’s own words behind every row.A count in that block is over the answers that were read, never over the ones that were written.When the words do not say which department they belong to, they are counted as undetermined rather than guessed into one.
A 0–10 question is reported on its own scale. Its average and its spread are shown as 0–10, never retold as stars, and it never stands in for the overall rating — that comes only from the survey’s star question marked Overall rating. A recommendation score is built only from the one 0–10 question you marked as the Recommendation question in the editor, and it is shown on Feedback Analytics, not here.
