Sample answer
“At my previous boardinghouse, I made it a priority to personally greet each guest upon arrival, offering them a welcome drink and information about local attractions. I created a guest feedback form that I reviewed weekly to identify areas for improvement. Once, a guest had an issue with noise from a neighboring room, and I quickly addressed it by offering a room change and a complimentary breakfast. This proactive approach fostered positive relationships and repeat visits.”
