When Online Reviews Killed a 4-Star Hotel's Revenue
Vorakorn, GM of a 30-room boutique hotel in Sukhumvit, watched 12 one-star reviews in a single month—same word: "musty smell."
"Housekeeping cleaned every day. Guests still smelled it."
The Source: Dust, Mites, Mold in Room Furnishings
The musty smell came from: 3+ year-old mattresses never deep-vacuumed, blackout curtains holding humidity, and guest-room rugs saturated with sweat and skin cells.
