Free App gives customers hotel Wi-Fi quality info

Hotel WiFi LogoA free API from Hotel WiFi Test provides a way to integrate information on the speed and quality of a hotel’s Wi-Fi for use by travel and hotel booking websites and apps, which can then be accessed by the customers themselves.

It has been shown by many studies that guests rate Wi-Fi as a key hotel amenity, so according to Hotel WiFi Test, using the API and  displaying hotel Wi-Fi quality information on a website or app could be a way to gain competitive advantage and higher customer satisfaction.

Hotel WiFi Test has one of the largest databases of hotel Wi-Fi speed and quality and it has now made this content available for integration into these other services.

“Our main goal for this launch is to provide hotel WiFi speed and quality information to travelers without them having to leave their favourite travel websites”, commented Yaroslav Goncharov, Founder and CEO of Hotel WiFi Test.

Goal is to provide hotel Wi-Fi speed info to customers

“Another critical goal is to integrate this data directly into the hotel selection flow, so that it can be used for searching, sorting and filtering along with other key hotel characteristics, such as price or guest feedback score,” he added.

The API display requirements are quite easy compared with industry standards. The attribution link can be placed on the content page or included into a booking email.

The API returns all the hotel Wi-Fi quality records in bulk and the incoming data can be stored to implement any user scenarios, including sorting and filtering without performance implications.
