About Us
Personal. Discreet. With a trained eye for what matters.
Our testers are recruited from experienced frequent travellers, hospitality professionals and trained quality observers. Every assessor completes a standardised briefing based on international 4- and 5-star standards, in order to clearly separate subjective moods from reproducible quality observations.
Our assessors and mystery guests are carefully selected and prepared for each specific assignment. Experience, powers of observation and a trained eye play a role, as do discretion, a professional manner and the ability to document experiences objectively and comprehensibly.
Our goal is not to monitor a hotel's employees or to deliberately look for mistakes. Rather, we want to convey a realistic picture of the guest experience, make strengths visible and point out where service, comfort or processes can be further improved.
Every hotel visit is individual. That is why we work personally, confidentially and without ready-made standard judgements.
Founder
Dipl.-Ing. Alihsan Yigin
Managing Director & Quality Auditor
"Outstanding hospitality feels like magic, but behind the scenes it always rests on seamless processes. As an engineer, I bring a trained, analytical eye for processes and quality standards; as a passionate hotel guest, a feel for genuine emotions and details. My goal is not to denounce mistakes, but to give hoteliers clear, operational levers that noticeably increase guest satisfaction and profitability."
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How individual is the criteria catalogue?
The criteria catalogue is tailored to your property and your standards. A city hotel needs different priorities than a resort, boutique hotel or wellness property.
Will the team know about the test?
The stay is always carried out discreetly. Whether and when results are communicated internally afterwards is your decision.
Is it only about finding mistakes?
No. Good mystery checks document just as consistently what already works excellently. The goal is a realistic picture from the guest's perspective and a constructive basis for further development.
Can a test be repeated?
Yes. Follow-up checks are particularly useful for making improvements measurable and for checking consistency over time.
Are the results published or shared with third parties?
No. All information relating to the assignment, its execution and the results of the hotel check is treated confidentially and discreetly. The evaluation is intended exclusively for the respective client. Results, assessments and observations are neither published nor passed on to third parties.
