CUSTOMER REVIEWS TREATMENT POLICY
DAYUSE customers can leave a review of their DAYUSE experience at one of its partner hotels. DAYUSE collects reviews and checks they comply with the applicable regulations to ensure customers are given reliable and clear information.
After a customer makes a booking and stays at a hotel, they are sent an email inviting them to leave a review of their experience at the hotel should they wish. The customer can leave a review within 10 days of receiving the email.
The customer is asked to complete a survey based on several criteria (value for money, facilities, etc.). They can also leave a general comment on the hotel and its services.
There is no charge or reward for posting a review.
When posting a review the customer must guarantee that:
- the content of their review is true and accurate;
- they are 18 or over;
- they made the booking via the DAYUSE website or app and stayed at one of our partner hotels during the daytime.
How do we moderate reviews?
DAYUSE aims to ensure maximum transparency for its customers while respecting hoteliers, their staff and the DAYUSE teams. DAYUSE therefore checks and moderates all reviews and comments in accordance with legal regulations to ensure its customers have access to clear, honest and reliable information that respects others. DAYUSE wants every customer to be able to report on their experience while ensuring that feedback does not contravene applicable laws and customs. All reviews must be polite, appropriate and related to the service offered by the partner hotel.
All customer reviews submitted are subject to verification by our teams. This process may take some time, depending on the number of reviews left. Reviews are generally processed within a maximum of one month.
Reasons for us rejecting a review include, but are not limited to, the following:
- the review contains language or comments that are abusive, disrespectful, derogatory, indecent or aggressive towards our teams or hotel staff;
- the review contains comments that are unlawful or immoral;
- the review is disproportionate, abusive, obviously misleading or defamatory;
- the review contains unfair statements that fail to reflect the reality of the situation;
- the review is unrelated to the subject at hand or the service provided by the hotel;
- the review is unintelligible, makes no sense or contains a meaningless sequence of characters;
- the review is submitted by someone who has never made a booking through DAYUSE;
- the review contains personal information pertaining to the customer or a third party;
- the review relates solely to the service provided by DAYUSE and does not relate to the service provided by the hotel.
If the review is accepted, it will be posted on the page pertaining to the hotel in question. Once posted, reviews cannot be modified, but can be deleted at the customer’s request. A review may also be deleted if it no longer appears relevant because it was posted a long time ago.
DAYUSE partner hotels can also report reviews. A hotel may report a review to us if it appears to be inconsistent, misleading or inaccurately reflects the service provided. DAYUSE checks if the hotel's request for deletion or rejection is justified and informs the person who left the review of the decision taken.
Finally, DAYUSE may contact a customer who has left a review for the purposes of improving our services or dealing with any dissatisfaction.
Please contact our customer services department at contact@dayuse.com should you have any comments or complaints.
