Best open-ended questions for hotel guest survey about bathroom cleanliness

Open-ended questions deliver powerful qualitative insights, letting hotel guests describe their real experiences and concerns, instead of being boxed into fixed options. They’re best when you want candid, detail-rich feedback, so you can spot hidden problems or unexpected delights. Especially for bathroom cleanliness—something 81% of guests rank as the top factor in their stay—open-ended feedback makes all the difference. [2]

  1. Can you describe your first impression of the bathroom’s cleanliness during your stay?

  2. What specific aspects of the bathroom felt especially clean (or unclean) to you?

  3. Were there any areas in the bathroom you feel could have been cleaned better? If so, which ones?

  4. Did you notice any unpleasant odors or issues related to hygiene in the bathroom?

  5. How did the condition of the bathroom influence your overall impression of the hotel?

  6. Were bathroom amenities (towels, toiletries, etc.) adequately stocked and sanitary?

  7. If you encountered a cleanliness issue, did you report it? How was it handled?

  8. What could we improve in our bathroom cleaning routine to make your experience better?

  9. Were there touches that made the bathroom feel especially fresh or inviting?

  10. Is there anything else you’d like us to know about your bathroom experience during your stay?

Best multiple-choice questions (single-select) for bathroom cleanliness surveys

Single-select multiple-choice questions are your go-to for quantifying opinions or starting a quick conversation with guests. They're especially great when you want consistent, comparable data—making it easier to spot trends, even in busy hotel operations. Many guests find choosing an option easier than coming up with a detailed answer on their own, so you’ll often get higher response rates and can dig deeper with a follow-up if needed.

Question: How would you rate the overall cleanliness of your bathroom?

  • Excellent

  • Good

  • Fair

  • Poor

Question: Which aspect of bathroom cleanliness mattered most to you during your stay?

  • Spotless floors and tiles

  • Sanitary toilet and shower

  • Fresh towels and linens

  • Absence of odors

Question: Did you experience any cleanliness issues in the bathroom?

  • No issues

  • Minor issues

  • Major issues

  • Other

When to follow up with "why?" Any time you want deeper understanding—like if a guest marks “Major issues”—follow up with “Can you tell us what happened? What could we do better?” This transforms simple feedback into actionable insight, powering real improvements.

When and why to add the "Other" choice? “Other” unlocks the unexpected—guests may have feedback you didn’t anticipate. When you see someone choose this, always use a follow-up to let them share more details. Sometimes, the most actionable feedback comes from things you didn’t ask directly about.

NPS question: A must-have metric for hotel bathroom cleanliness

NPS (Net Promoter Score) asks guests how likely they are to recommend your hotel based on their experience with bathroom cleanliness—a fast way to measure loyalty and spot at-risk guests. It’s a global hospitality benchmark, trusted by leading hotels to tie service quality straight to guest advocacy and revenue impact. Knowing your NPS makes it easy to track if cleaning improvements are moving the needle in guest perception.

The power of follow-up questions

Dynamic follow-up questions are where conversational surveys truly shine. Instead of settling for vague or unhelpful answers, AI-powered follow-ups clarify, probe, and turn rough feedback into gold. If you want detailed, actionable insights—without chasing guests by email after the fact—automated follow-ups are essential. Read about how automatic AI follow-up questions work, and why they really matter.

  • Hotel Guest: "There was an issue in the bathroom."

  • AI follow-up: "Could you tell us specifically what the issue was and how it affected your stay?"

How many followups to ask? Usually, 2–3 focused follow-ups strike a good balance. Configure your survey to move to the next question once you get a clear answer—Specific lets you tune this as needed so guest time is valued.

This makes it a conversational survey: Each guest feels heard when their unique response sparks a relevant follow-up, transforming the survey into a real conversation.

AI analysis, easy insights: When responses are rich but unstructured, analyzing them becomes a breeze thanks to AI-powered survey response analysis—see more on how to analyze survey responses with AI.

Follow-up automation is a new approach. Try generating a survey with real-time follow-ups to see the difference in feedback detail and engagement.
