A customer, after seeing a fixed sign at the entrance of a hotel with a certain number of stars, feels safe that the infrastructure and the quality of the services provided were audited and that the enterprise meets the various quality parameters, creating an expectation compatible with the observed category. However, not always the guests’ expectations and the total satisfaction of their necessities are overcome. From such a perspective, the main objective of this research is to analyze the guest perception about the quality of hosting services, classified by SBClass in the categories of five and four stars based on reviews published on TripAdvisor and on Booking.com. To this end, we identified which hotels of the Northeast region were classified by SBClass in the categories mentioned, and analyzed, by comparison, the ratings assigned to those enterprises and the comments disclosed on social networks. To meet the goals set, a descriptive research of qualitative approach was conducted. One of the main findings is that no relevant difference was observed among the ratings received by the seven hosting services analyzed. We also noted that the general ratings for the hotel companies on TripAdvisor are higher than the general ratings on Booking.com.
