Resumen

Hotel reviews registered in Booking.com, provide important information for both individual travelers, hoteliers and industry researchers. We develop a study based on this database, using more than 1,000 Spanish hotels of the so‑called “sun and beach tourism”, which collect around 200,000 hotel reviews. We establish a differentiation by province and collect two samples of data, spaced over two years during the period 2011‑2014. We obtain several conclusions regarding the differences by provinces and the evolution of the valuations of the hotels along the current economic crisis.
