Today, Wi-Fi is part of a hotel’s basic equipment. Yet guests often only discover the real quality of the connection after they arrive. This is exactly where WPerf\u2122 comes in.<\/p>\n
Whether business travelers, families, or holidaymakers, a stable and high-performing Wi-Fi connection is now an integral part of a good hotel stay.<\/p>\n
Guests today compare room prices, star ratings, wellness offerings, and reviews. But for an equally important factor, a simple and reliable indicator is still missing: how good is the Wi-Fi in this hotel?<\/p>\n
Reviews on booking platforms can offer some clues, but they tend to be subjective. What one person calls “fast” may already be insufficient for another.<\/p>\n
WPerf\u2122 aims to create a standardized evaluation system for Wi-Fi quality in hotels.<\/p>\n
The principle: assess the quality of the Wi-Fi experience according to a consistent, transparent methodology, then translate the results into a clear, understandable score. Hotels that meet the criteria of the WPerf\u2122 standard can obtain certification awarded by WPerf\u2122 , which they can then use in communication with their guests.<\/p>\n
The evaluation isn’t limited to technical performance. It aims to measure what really matters: the digital experience actually lived by the guest.<\/p>\n
Is the Wi-Fi reliable? Is performance sufficient for multiple devices? Can guests work, make a video call, or stream comfortably?<\/p>\n
The goal is to create a common language between hotels and their guests.<\/p>\n
For guests, WPerf\u2122 would bring more transparency and a better decision criterion when choosing a hotel.<\/p>\n
For hotels, this standard would offer a way to showcase investments made in their digital infrastructure and demonstrate that they meet their guests’ current digital needs.<\/p>\n
Because good Wi-Fi is no longer just an internet connection: it has become an integral part of the guest’s digital experience.<\/p>\n
Classic speed tests give only a one-off snapshot of performance. WPerf\u2122 goes further, evaluating, according to a common methodology, both the technical quality of the Wi-Fi and the digital experience actually lived by guests.<\/p>\n
The ambition is to make WPerf\u2122 a reference standard for the Wi-Fi experience in hospitality.<\/p>\n
WPerf\u2122 is now entering an essential phase: testing and validating the standard in real hotel environments.<\/p>\n
To this end, we are looking for pilot hotels as well as expertise in Wi-Fi, networks, and hospitality to contribute to this validation.<\/p>\n
How important is Wi-Fi quality to your guests? Would an independent evaluation of Wi-Fi quality be useful? And what added value should such a certification bring to your establishment and your guests?<\/p>\n
We’d love to hear your thoughts. You can send us your feedback at: hospitalitybooster@hotelleriesuisse.ch<\/p>\n
Because perhaps a question as simple as “How good is the Wi-Fi?” will soon become a new digital quality standard in hospitality.<\/p>\n
