Abstract—While the number of foreign tourists visiting
Japan is increasing in recent years, online hotel reservation
systems are widely used for travel planning. Hotel reservation
service sites provide accommodation information both of the
features and the recommended points to the potential users. The
hotel reservation services users usually refer the other users’
reviews in their decision-making. It is useful information for the
accommodation service improvement, whereas the replies of
users’ reviews are at their will. Most of the reviews are not
classified appropriately for users’ purposes that make it hard to
reach the appropriate information in reservation. To solve this
problem, this paper provides a method to analyse user reviews
in order to capture the characteristic expressions according to
their purposes and examines some methods to present beneficial
information at the time of hotel service improvement.
Moreover, the characteristics of user comments are
distinguished for every hotel. Differences between the
expressions and the evaluations each hotel is found from the
results of the analysis.
