Hotels Schema.org
-
I am looking at potentially using some Schema mark up on hotel listing pages. This is for an OTA where lots of hotels from all over the world are available for selection (think hotels.com, booking.com, agoda.com etc)
For the itemscope itemtype on say the hotel name should I be defining it as http://schema.org/hotel or http://schema.org/localbusiness
For example against the hotel name I would have:
Grand Plaza Hanoi
I assume its the former, but I was just after some 2nd opinions.
Thanks,
Ben

Their current solution seems to be something along the lines of:
***** Rating: 8.4/10 - 900 Reviews
almost forcing two different review "views" into the same listing, which seems a little dumb from a UI perspective.

Thanks again,
This is an area where Google seem a bit pants to be honest. I have seen loads of examples where a hotel might have a rating of 7 out of 10 and Google shows 5 stars in the rich snippet data.
Not exactly a great user experience right there.

Boom:
<div< span="">itemprop="reviewRating" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Rating">
<meta< span="">itemprop="worstRating" content = "1">
<span< span="">itemprop="ratingValue">1</span<>/
<span< span="">itemprop="bestRating">5</span<>stars</meta<></div<>See this URL for better details: http://schema.org/Review
For the overall rating, you'll want to use http://schema.org/AggregateRating which can also be done on a larger scale.
I have only seen examples of Google using 5 star reviews in their rich snippets. I have not yet seen an example of 4 or 10 star rankings used in rich snippets. Maybe they'll adopt it down the road, maybe they'll convert to 5 stars, or maybe they'll continue ignoring it. Perhaps just consider displaying the aggregate rating as a 5 star scale, and the rest as 10?

Thanks Kane - looks like I am on the right track then. The other area I am struggling on is the mark up around reviews / star ratings.
i.e., what happens if your star ratings aren't out of 5? Google seems to make a mess of the display. I.e., I can find a hotel with a rating of 7/10 where Google will show it as 5 star in the results set.
So do I try and force the adoption of using a scale from 1-5 or is it possible to use schema mark up on a 1-10 scale?

Yup, take a look at the microdata generator for restaurants (none built for hotels yet that I have seen):
http://www.microdatagenerator.com/restaurant-schema
That gives you a good comparison for how the hotel format should look. Here's an example implementation for a restaurant:

Correct use of schema for online store and physical stores
I have been getting conflicting advice on the best way to implement schema for the following scenario. There is a central e-commerce store that is registered to it's own unique address which is "head office". There are a few physical shops each of which has their own location and address. Each shop has its own landing page within /our-stores/. So each page on the website has the Organisation schema for the central 'organisation', something like: Then on each physical store landing page is something like the following as well as the Organisation schema: Is this correct? If it is should I extend LocalBusiness with store URL and sameAs for GMB listing and maybe Companies House registration? It's also been suggested that we should use LocalBusiness for the head office of the company, then Departmentwith the typeStore. But i'm not sure on that?

Schema for Data in Tables
I'm adding itemprops to data in a table. They are all the same type of data, but each row has different specifications. Is it best to put the data under one tag? Or separate each row into it's own tag?

Buying multiple domains: misspells & .net, org, etc. & 301's
Hi, an SEO guy told me to buy up domains like ours X.org, net, biz, etc. & mispellings. this could cost over $100/year. Is is worth it for SEO or is it just covering our @ss if competitors want to get stupid and buy those? I don't forsee competitors doing that. What do you suggest? Does Google actually give us points for those AND if we bought them are we supposed to redirect all of them to our site? Should I be doing this for our SEO clients? Thanks.

Hotel affiliate website - noindex pages with little unique content?
We are well into development of a hotel affiliate website (using Expedia Affiliate Network), and I know there are many challenges to SEO when using an affiliate system - one of the biggest being how to handle duplicate content. Outside of blog posts and static marketing pages, the majority of the textual content is contained in hotel descriptions. We will be creating unique descriptions over time, but we are a small team and this will be a lengthy process. My question for you mozzers, is whether or not it's advisable for ranking purposes to noindex any page with mostly 'stock' content, and only allow Google to index hotel pages with unique descriptions? Thanks for any input!

How do i properly combine these two schema's from schema.org
So we're redoing our reviews/testimonials page on our website right now and moving over to the schema.org format as described here: http://schema.org/Review But we would like to combine each of our reviews with a location for which it was reviewed using this: http://schema.org/LocalBusiness What i can't wrap my head around would be the correct syntax? is it just the first block and then the next block? or is there a way of putting the actual physical address within the review page itself? So is this the correct way to do a page full of reviews that are reviewing various physical locations? * <div< span="">itemprop="reviews" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Review"></div<>* <span< span="">itemprop="name">Value purchase</span<> -* by <span< span="">itemprop="author">Lucas</span<>,* <meta< span="">itemprop="datePublished" content="2011-03-25">March 25, 2011</meta<>* <div< span="">itemprop="reviewRating" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Rating"></div<>* <meta< span="">itemprop="worstRating" content = "1"/></meta<>* <span< span="">itemprop="ratingValue">4</span<>/* <span< span="">itemprop="bestRating">5</span<>stars* <span< span="">itemprop="description">Great microwave for the price.
