Can you promote in r/askhotels?

A place to ask any questions you might have about hotels.

The short answer

Do not promote or mention your product/company; only participate as a helpful individual (e.g., hotel employee) answering questions without soliciting or researching.

What works here

  • Answer hotel-related questions as an employee or guest
  • Use flairs to identify hotel employees/roles
  • Be civil and helpful in responses

What gets posts removed

  • Advertising or promoting products/services
  • Asking for feedback, market research, or app improvement
  • Posting surveys, lead-generation, investor requests, or recruitment
  • Linking to commercial sites or soliciting customers
