Here are some steps to overcome problem in receiving guest When listening to an upset guest:
1. Remain centered: Focus on your breathing, maintain eye contact and continue to listen to what is being said. When guests are upset, they are looking to resolve a problem. Allow them to vent.
2. Take ownership and offer your assistance: How does it feel to be in the guest’s shoes? What needs does he/she have that are not being met? Example: “I can understand why you are frustrated that your room is not ready. Please let me see what I can do to resolve the problem.”
3. Ask probing questions: Continue to ask questions to understand what the guest is trying to say and to reassure the guest that he/she is being heard. Clarify the guest’s needs, and get more information to solve the problem: "Do you mean ...?" or "Did I understand you to say ...?"
4. Remain calm: Don't feel incompetent, angry or nervous if the guest is overreacting. The guest has a right to express his/her feelings. This is not a personal attack on you. Don't join the participant in an argument. Don’t tell guests to calm down, as this often makes them angrier. Continue to listen and maintain eye contact.
5. Summarize and apologize:"You wanted the food cooked without butter." "You'd like extra towels in your room." Apologize to them and take ownership of the problem. Assure them that you understand that this has been a mistake on the part of the hotel.
6. What will resolve situation? Explain how you will take care of this. Do you need to refer them to another department? Communicate this in an assuring and genuine tone.
7. Do not take it personally: Do not carry any negative experiences home with you. Leave the situation in the past.
Please write your responds to the guest disappointments below;
1. “What do you mean, you don’t have my reservation? I called a month ago to reserve a table by the fountain for my 10th wedding anniversary. This is simply outrageous!”
2.“Hello? Is this the front desk? I just checked in to my room, and the bed isn’t made, and the bathroom is messy. I can’t believe it!”

1. As I understand it, I would be too,you are absolutely right,maybe there was glitch with the booking system. we have because we have no your reservation. I know you have called a month ago to reserve a table by fountain for your 10th wedding anniversary. But that is not problem, I will call our official to see if they have available room for you, if they do, I will get in touch you immediately no latter than 5 pm this evening. If my solution doesn't work for you, I'd love to hear what will make you happy. If it's in my power I'll get it done, and if it's not possible, we can work on another solution together. After I have called our clients, they have available room for you sir, but it is different with your first reservation. It is VVIP room. But, for our apologizing, that would be at no extra charge for you. if you have any problems, feel free to call the front desk. Enjoy your stay.
2. I am sorry Mr. Tito, I can fully understand why you are angry. I apologize that this occurred. We should have called you when the bed has not been ready yet. I was out to lunch. The official should have phoned me to let me know if the room is not ready. our official will fix it immediately. If we don’t find one in the next hour, I’ll reserve another room for you. If my solution doesn't work for you, I'd love to hear what will make you happy. If it's in my power I'll get it done, and if it's not possible, we can work on another solution together. I appreciate your patience.”

Then asks, “would you like to mention your room’s number?” We will immediately check your room. Just wait for a moment, my staff will make the bed and clean the bathroom. But if you want to move the another room, we will also prepare it for you. And I’m sorry for the uncomfortable room sir.

Respond to situation no. 1 : In my point of view, we should say sorry to the customers first. Even we don’t know yet who is in charge of this reservation error. Maybe the fault is in the customers or maybe the hotel system. If the fault is in the customers, maybe he thinks that he had reserved a room but in fact it has been a month ago, maybe he forget to confirm the reservation, so the hotel system don’t save his reservation. If the fault is in the hotel system, maybe there is an error in the system that can’t save the reservation a month ago. However, We should reply customer’s complain as calm as possible, even the customer says bad things about the hotel reservation, because we have to give a good image for every type of customers about our hotel. Respond to situation no. 2 : The first thing we should say “Please allow me this opportunity to apologize for the inconveniences you experienced during your stay. You willingness to share your thoughts is appreciated”.The hotel is committed to providing customers with the highest quality services and facilities. The hotel sincerely regret customers fell the good experience. But customer’s comments are important to the success of the hotel, the customer’s need is the hotel’s first priority. The customer’s willingness to share their experience is always genuinely appreciated by the hotel. After that, you can give thank to the customers and also give the solution to the customers. You can say to the customer “ thank you for your review in our room sir, we will fix it right away now, our room service is in their way to your room now. We are sorry for the unexpected situation in your room, sir. We hope after fixing your room, you will enjoy your stay here.
