Mystery Shopping & Guest Experience Services South Africa | SURV Group

What We Offer

Our Services

Three ways to protect your guest experience, and the people behind it.

Mystery Shopping

Mystery Shopping

Anonymous assessments that show you exactly what your guests experience, and what to do about it.

Mystery shopping is at the core of what we do. Our trained assessors experience your business anonymously, exactly as your guests do, and assess every touchpoint against your brand's own standards. You get the honest picture, plus a clear plan to act on it.

All assessments are delivered as a full written report within 5 business days, with scored findings and prioritised recommendations.

Assessment Types

  • All-Inclusive Guest Experience Assessment
  • First Impression & Reservations Assessment
  • Food & Beverage Service Assessment
  • Housekeeping & Presentation Assessment
  • Integrity Assessment
  • Full Hotel / Boutique Hotel Assessment
  • Game Lodge / Safari Camp Assessment

Programme Options

We'd recommend an ongoing programme rather than a once-off assessment. Consistent, regular visits give you a true, reliable picture of your service standards over time.

Every programme is tailored to your business, so get in touch and we'll scope the right frequency together.
