Exceptional guest experiences don’t happen by accident—they’re the result of dedication, meticulous attention to detail, and an unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction. That’s exactly why Lisa and Andrew Davidson, the dynamic duo behind Pass the Keys West Oxfordshire, have been recognised with the Guest Satisfaction of the Year Award.

Since launching their franchise in October 2023, Lisa and Andrew have worked tirelessly to set new standards in the short-let property management space. Competing against 70 other partners, they’ve emerged as industry leaders by consistently delivering five-star experiences to every guest. So, what’s their secret? We sat down with them to find out!

What Does This Achievement Mean?

Winning the Guest Satisfaction of the Year award is a testament to Lisa and Andrew’s dedication to their guests. “We are extremely proud of this achievement, especially given the stiff competition from 70 other partners! It's an honour to be recognised for our hard work in delivering a consistent year-round premium guest experience.”

From the moment guests book their stay to the time they check out, Lisa and Andrew ensure that every touchpoint is thoughtfully curated to exceed expectations.

The Secret to Five-Star Guest Experiences

Lisa and Andrew’s guest experience philosophy is simple yet powerful:

“The customer is always right—even when, perhaps, they're not!”

By treating every guest interaction with care and professionalism, they have built a reputation for outstanding hospitality, ensuring visitors not only leave happy but want to return.

How Do They Keep Guests Coming Back?

It all comes down to three key pillars:
✅ First Impressions Matter – The team ensures each property is spotless and inviting, making guests feel welcome from the moment they arrive.
✅ Proactive Communication – Regular check-ins throughout the day keep guests informed and reassured.
✅ Thoughtful Extras – A well-stocked welcome hamper always adds a personal touch, leaving a lasting impression.

Even when issues arise, Lisa and Andrew’s proactive problem-solving turns potential negatives into positives. One standout example?

“A guest once messaged us about soiled sheets on the bed where his daughter was sleeping. We immediately replaced the linen, offered a partial refund, and sent a hamper of goodies as an apology. He later left us a glowing 5-star review for how we handled the situation.”

Now that’s what five-star service looks like!

Overcoming Challenges with Smart Solutions

Managing guest expectations isn’t always smooth sailing. In the early days, Lisa and Andrew found themselves making frequent property visits for even the smallest issues. However, they quickly adapted by improving their internal property notes system, allowing them to resolve most queries via quick calls or emails.

This efficient approach has led to:
✅ Faster problem resolution
✅ Less disruption for guests
✅ A more seamless and stress-free experience for all

What’s Next? Goals for the Future

While they’re thrilled with their recent award, Lisa and Andrew are not slowing down! Their next focus is on elevating their guest experience even further by:
🔹 Increasing deep cleans to maintain impeccable property standards
🔹 Proactive maintenance checks to prevent issues before they arise
🔹 Acting on guest feedback—whether it’s praise or constructive criticism

By continuously improving their services, Lisa and Andrew are setting the gold standard for hospitality excellence in West Oxfordshire.
