Guestroom Network maintains
a rating of every member and their property to aid in evaluating the
relative quality of their home and more specifically, their guestroom.
Members try to
keep their ratings as high as possible, as a higher rating entitles
them to stay at more highly rated properties. For example, a member
with a rating of 70 is able to stay at other members' homes rated
no more than 20 points higher than their own (in this example, 90).
The more accurately you
evaluate your property when signing on to Guestroom Network, and the
more accurately you rate others after staying with them, the more
trusted and worthwhile the Guestroom Network becomes - for all
members...
Guestroom Network "Member
Protocol"
| - |
Initial ratings are created
automatically by the website from the information you provide on your
membership sign-up forms. |
| - |
The member's rating is
displayed on the site with their property's listing. |
| - |
To avoid confusion a
member may only request contact with members with ratings no higher
than 20 above their own. |
| - |
After guest stays with
the host they submit a rating (Form). The members rating is adjusted
to reflect the ratings of the last member to rate them. The existing
rating is weighted on a 2 to 1 basis to the latest submitted rating
to avoid an unwarranted swing if a member has a particularly bad day.
Thus, members are encouraged to provide the highest quality of service
and courtesy at all times. |
| - |
Hosts must submit a rating
of the Guest in order to receive a credit. |
| - |
Guest must submit a rating
of the Host in order to make future bookings. |
| - |
You should always check
the ratings and the comments of other members about the prospective host in advance to be sure of the type
of accommodation that you will receive. |
|
BE FAIR when
you rate others.
Do
not let a bad day cause you to speak ill of other members. Use
the information provided and add to it with your experience
to make the whole system better for everyone. We realize it
is sometimes difficult to quantify all variables when rating
a guest or host, but please try to be accurate and remember
that others will be affecting your rating as well.
|
Ratings
are calculated as follows:
| - |
Accommodations are rated
automatically upon sign-up on a scale 1 of 100. |
| - |
Hosts are rated
by their guests after each stay, according to the physical accommodation,
and their hospitality. In addition, guests are also rated
by their host in each stayover. As the "Host Rating"
and "Guest Rating" information is received by Guestroom
Network, it automatically adjusts their current rating and comprises
a new, updated score. |
Each new rating
received affects a members' overall rating.
For
example:
If a host's
rating stands at 80, and a guest who has just stayed
with that host rates them a 50, their new rating is
now 70. This formula ensures that a particularly harsh
rating from a guest does not unduly influence the host's overall
score.
