Abstract

Expedia is a travel searching and booking platform. The dataset specifically showcases property searches on the platform. To help Expedia better know how to attract more consumers, by studying the association between reviews and consumers’ choices by using hypothesis test and multiple linear regressions. The results of the study found that reviews can significantly affect consumers' choice behavior. Secondly, consumers tend to view properties with Review counts less than 5000 and with higher Average Guest Rating. Thirdly, consumers prefer to give higher individual ratings to properties with more Review Count. Lastly, consumers tend to choose properties with Star Rating at 4, and properties with higher Star Ratings tend to have obviously more Review Counts. The research results of this paper can make some policy suggestions for managers engaged in this field and have important practical significance in order to regulate the healthy development of the platform.
