The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of online review quantity, publishing time, and authenticity on hotel booking intentions as well as the moderated moderation effects of online review quality and negative reviews. In particular, this study uses an empirical research design to test proposed hypotheses.
Our survey especially focuses on Chinese online consumers. By conducting online survey firm (i.e., Moon Kwon-Seong) from December 2023 to February 2024 in China, we obtained 517 usable responses.
Our findings indicate that the number, publication time, and authenticity of online reviews have significant impacts on consumers’ hotel booking intentions. These results are significant for hotel managers to design online reviews. Theoretically, our findings provide implications for enhancing scholars’ knowledge to a better understanding of consumer behaviors. The author discusses theoretical and managerial insights and provide future research directions.
