SENSIS is a specialist advisory service that evaluates every dimension of your hotel's guest experience — and translates those findings into precise, actionable improvements. Not a public rating. A private roadmap.
Each area is assessed independently with its own specialist criteria, benchmarks, and improvement recommendations.
The critical 90-second window when a guest forms their lasting perception. We evaluate driveway approach, signage, doorman interaction, check-in desk flow, waiting time, and the warmth of the welcome.
The core of any hotel stay. We assess mattress quality, pillow variety, linen texture, blackout effectiveness, temperature control, noise isolation, and the subtle details that turn a room into a sanctuary.
Bathrooms signal quality more than almost any other space. We evaluate water pressure, temperature stability, fixture quality, amenity presentation, lighting for grooming, and cleanliness to a hospitality standard.
Often the most remembered daily moment. We assess buffet variety and freshness, à la carte responsiveness, local ingredient use, dietary accommodation, presentation, and the ambiance of the dining space itself.
Memorable hospitality is human. We evaluate staff availability, proactivity, language competency, emotional warmth, problem-resolution speed, and the consistency of service across different shifts and departments.
Not just surface cleanliness — we look behind and beneath. Corner dusting, AC filter condition, mattress protectors, remote controls, menus, and every touchpoint a guest interacts with but rarely mentions.
Comfort is experienced with all five senses. We evaluate lighting warmth, background music appropriateness, signature scent consistency, material quality in common areas, and the coherence of the visual identity throughout the property.
The modern guest expects seamless digital comfort. We test WiFi reliability across the property, TV interface usability, in-room tablet responsiveness, pre-arrival communication quality, and digital checkout ease.
For hotels offering spa, fitness, pool, or concierge services — we evaluate booking ease, equipment condition, staff expertise, treatment quality, and whether ancillary offerings genuinely elevate the overall stay.
Every SENSIS evaluation follows a rigorous four-stage process designed to surface what standard feedback mechanisms miss.
Our trained evaluators experience your hotel as genuine guests — no advance notice, no special treatment. We observe exactly what a real guest encounters at every touchpoint.
Using our proprietary 9-dimension framework, each evaluator scores 120+ individual criteria with written observations, photos, and contextual benchmarks from comparable properties.
Within 10 business days you receive a confidential, beautifully formatted report: dimension scores, key findings, root-cause analysis, and prioritised recommendations with estimated impact.
A 60-minute call with your lead evaluator to walk through findings, answer questions, and help your team build a realistic action plan tailored to your property's context and constraints.
Online reviews give you sentiment. SENSIS gives you specifics — the ones that drive real improvement.
Every evaluation is conducted by trained hospitality professionals who know the difference between a preference and a systemic problem. No crowdsourced noise — only expert signal.
Our reports don't just describe problems — they identify root causes and rank improvements by impact. You'll know exactly where to invest time and budget first.
SENSIS is strictly B2B. Our reports are never published, never shared, never used for any public rating system. Your vulnerabilities belong only to you.
Repeat evaluations measure real improvement against your previous scores. Watch your weak areas strengthen and confirm that investments are delivering for guests.
Unlike large chain audit systems, SENSIS is designed for boutique and independent properties — where every detail matters and the owner-manager relationship drives quality.
Every evaluation includes a direct conversation with your evaluator. Ask questions, challenge findings, and leave with genuine clarity — not just a PDF to interpret alone.
Every engagement begins with an incognito stay and concludes with a personal debrief from the founders. What varies is scope — and the depth of picture you take away.
A focused evaluation of three guest experience dimensions of your choosing. The ideal first engagement — structured, expert, and actionable — without the commitment of a full assessment.
Our complete nine-dimension assessment — the most comprehensive picture of your guest experience available. For hotels serious about excellence and committed to acting on what they learn.
A second stay by an evaluator with a different guest profile — a couple versus a solo traveller, for instance — adds a comparative dimension that reveals inconsistencies in service delivery and depth of experience that a single visit cannot capture alone. Two perspectives. One complete picture.
For hotel groups or properties with specific requirements, we welcome direct conversation about tailored engagements. All pricing is quoted net of accommodation costs, which vary by property.
Between us, we bring over 30 years of senior management experience in the corporate world — leading teams, navigating complexity, and holding organisations to high standards of performance and people. We know what excellence looks like, and we know how hard it is to sustain.
But beyond the boardroom, we have always been travellers at heart. Hotels have been our second homes — from small family-run inns tucked into mountain villages to grand city properties with decades of history. We have eaten at tables that moved us and slept in rooms we never wanted to leave. We have also experienced the opposite, and understood exactly why it fell short.
SENSIS grew from a simple frustration: the gap between what hotel managers intend for their guests and what guests actually experience. That gap is rarely about investment or ambition — it is about perspective. We built this service to be that perspective.
A 20-minute discovery call is the first step. We'll discuss your property, your goals, and what a SENSIS evaluation can realistically deliver for you.
