Analyzing TripAdvisor reviews to improve service quality at Courtyard Marriott Bali Nusa Dua Resort

Purpose: This study aims to explore trends in guest satisfaction at the Courtyard by Marriott Bali Nusa Dua Resort by analyzing online reviews from TripAdvisor, with the objective of enhancing service quality. Methods: The research follows a systematic methodology that begins with scraping guest reviews from TripAdvisor, ensuring the collection of relevant data. Subsequently, a thorough data cleaning and preprocessing process is undertaken to guarantee high-quality data. The study then utilizes time series analysis, specifically the ARIMA model, to analyze the evolving patterns of guest satisfaction over time. Results/findings: The findings show that the majority of guest feedback is positive, indicating general satisfaction with the hotel. The ARIMA model reveals that guest satisfaction is highly influenced by previous satisfaction levels, suggesting a trend where past experiences strongly impact future perceptions. Conclusions: These results provide valuable insights into the key drivers of guest satisfaction, offering actionable recommendations for hotel management. By understanding the dynamic factors that influence guest experiences, management can improve service quality, respond more effectively to unexpected situations, and remain competitive in the market. Limitations: The ARIMA model does not account for external factors, such as holiday seasons or marketing changes, nor does it analyze the specific content of reviews or differentiate between guest segments. Additionally, comparisons with competitors can provide a broader strategic context for a more comprehensive understanding. Contribution: The combination of sentiment analysis and time series forecasting in this study offers a unique contribution, enabling data-driven decisions that support continuous service improvement and customer satisfaction.
