The comparison of an accommodation depends as much on the conditions of the stay as on the photos. A useful page allows you to check the capacity, equipment, access and operation of the reservation without having to bring several contradictory documents together.
These files describe preparation methods. They do not present customer achievements and do not replace the validation of information by the organization concerned.

Distinguish sleeping capacity, bed configuration and room characteristics. List the equipment actually present and their limits. Avoid letting a photo suggest some equipment that is not included. A recent photograph should have a caption when multiple dwellings or categories are similar.
Explain the minimum duration, the open periods, the number of people taken into account and the costs announced by the operator. Present the applicable conditions before validation. If the request does not constitute a confirmed reservation, say so near the main action and in the message sent to the visitor.
Gather practical information: access, confirmed parking, arrival and departure times, interlocutor and particularities of the place. For accessibility, describe the verified characteristics of the path and housing. Keep sensitive instructions, such as an access code, in the appropriate private channel.
Test a stay that goes through a change of month, an unavailable period, an outdated capacity and a change of dates. Check the consistency between presented price, chosen options and summary. Confirmations in the different languages should keep the same dates, numbers and conditions.
Check the equipment, works and photos before reopening the reservation. Report completed offers instead of keeping an active button. When a surrounding activity is presented, name its source and check its availability; Geographic proximity guarantees neither openness nor partnership.
For each item, keep the source, the person validating it and the language versions concerned. Missing information must become a question to solve, never a value invented to fill the page.
An accommodation record should distinguish the property, room categories and date-specific offers. Amenities belonging to one room must not automatically apply to every other room.
| Information | Content to retain | Consistency check |
|---|---|---|
| category | Name, capacity, bed layout and matching photos. | The booking summary preserves the chosen category. |
| Amenity | Available facility, any extra charge and access restrictions. | A shared facility is not described as private. |
| Stay | Dates, party size and conditions applying to the offer. | Changing dates recalculates the offer before confirmation. |
| Arrival | Reception address, arrival window and property contact. | Sent instructions match the booked accommodation. |

The file contains this table and blank columns for the observed result, owner and follow-up. It opens in a spreadsheet; downloading it does not send your observations to the site.
When closing a category or changing an amenity, check captioned photos, filters and associated offers. Publish only characteristics confirmed by the property; structured data does not replace that validation.

Preparation exercise: A person compares two types of accommodation, searches for specific equipment and checks availability. Work with a demonstration calendar without inventing a commercial price. Distinguish a room, a category and an offer: their photos and conditions are not interchangeable. Make visible the steps that open an external reservation engine. If the site does not know the availability in real time, submit a request for information instead of displaying a fictitious stock.
These criteria are a working basis to adapt to the context. For each, note the action taken, the expected result, the observed result and the information remaining to be confirmed.
Keep the link between each photo and the hosting represented. Check the offers at each change of season and the coordinates when the management mode changes. The booking manager validates the calendar and conditions; The content manager follows the translations. An atmospheric photo can complete a sheet, but it should not be used as proof of missing equipment.
Compare booking workflows against the actual source of availability. A visual calendar cannot promise a booking if it is not synchronised with requests handled elsewhere.
A room photograph must not imply that it represents every category. Link each image to the accommodation described and verify the advertised facilities.
Try an available stay, an unavailable stay and a date change. Record information that must be entered again and points where the request status becomes unclear.
They can illustrate an atmosphere if their role is explicit. Equipment and housing should be shown with real or unambiguous images.
Yes: dates, accommodation, options, conditions and next step should remain understandable after the language change.
No. A public page can explain the arrival procedure without exposing the information reserved for authorized persons.
Only if they accurately show shared features and have clear labels. Show or explicitly describe important differences. A stock photograph must not be presented as a photograph of accommodation on offer.
