How To Deal With Certain Hotel Guests

Face-to-face interactions with guests are the most important part of a hotel receptionist. While there are no major problems concerning most guests, there will always be a few who makes a talent of testing the limits of a person’s patience. Some guests may be anxious, angry, disgruntled, or aggravated and won’t hesitate to voice out their thoughts and their complaints. Thus, one of the qualities of a good receptionist in a hotel is the ability to deal with all persons appropriately under all situations. A receptionist should try to calm down an irate guest with phrases such as “ I’m sorry for the inconvenience this has brought you but let me see if there is something that I can do to fix this”.  But a receptionist should be trained never to make false promises. Showing some emotion can certainly go a long way in helping an angry guest calm down.
