Whether you just signed up or want a refresher, here's how to get more useful context from every hotel stay.
Five quick steps take you from finding a hotel to building a useful travel history.
Choose the name travelers will see and add a photo. Hotel programs are optional.
Your profile gives every review a consistent identity without requiring loyalty membership.
Edit Your Profile →Search the directory for a past stay or explore reviews before your next trip.
Hotel pages bring traveler ratings, benefit reports, and practical stay details together.
Explore Hotels →Open a hotel and add your stay date, room experience, service, value, location, and any relevant perks.
Add up to five photos with optional labels to show travelers the details behind your scorecard.
Log a Stay →Publish an honest review so someone with similar expectations can make a better booking decision.
A thoughtful review gives future guests the context a simple star rating cannot.
Write a Review →Use My Stays to explore your travel history, revisit and sort past reviews, and see every hotel on your stay map.
Track travel stats and badges, discover your reviewer label, and create a shareable Year in Review.
Open My Stays →Every Perch review scores the same four parts of a stay from 1 to 10, making different hotels easier to compare.
The physical hotel product: room comfort, condition, design, furnishings, and facilities. It does not mean the hotel’s technology.
How staff handle check-in, housekeeping, requests, and problems. Consider both responsiveness and consistency.
Whether the stay felt worth its cash price, points cost, or certificate compared with realistic alternatives.
How convenient the hotel is for your trip, including the neighborhood, walkability, transit, and nearby essentials.
Set up your profile so every review has the traveler identity you want to share. Hotel memberships can be added later if they matter to your stays.
