The World's Largest Travel Site Powers Accor's Guest Review Process

LONDON, November 16, 2010 - A new partnership between TripAdvisor(R), the world's largest
travel site* and Accor enable travellers on Accorhotels.com to benefit from
user reviews and ratings.

Accor features on its website www.accorhotels.com the
TripAdvisor traveller rating and the most recent traveller reviews for each
hotel (except the HotelF1 brand), allowing customers to make more informed
decisions based on fellow traveller's feedback. The content is available in 9
languages.

Accor is also partnering with TripAdvisor to collect reviews
from travellers after they return from their stay, thus taking advantage of
TripAdvisor's 10 year experience in collecting and moderating user generated
content. To that end TripAdvisor has developed a new tool, the "write a
review" widget, which Accor has integrated into its own platform. Reviews
collected in this way are posted on both accorhotels.com and TripAdvisor,
which now boasts 40 million unique visitors each month. This is the first
time a major hotel chain has chosen TripAdvisor to power their entire review
collection process.

Romain Roulleau, Deputy Senior Vice President Direct Sales at
Accor, said:

"Accor has taken a pioneering step in embracing traveller
feedback, which demonstrates our commitment to transparency and improved
customer service. We are delighted to partner with TripAdvisor, the largest
travel community in the world, to both present and collect guest reviews.
With this partnership we are making it easier for our clients to inform
themselves before booking a hotel and to share their experience with fellow
travellers.

In addition this new initiative is allowing our hotel managers
to be even more in tune with their guests."

"We are thrilled to be partnering with Accor, one of the
largest hotel chains in the world, to enable their customers to benefit from
valuable insight from millions of travellers. Research shows that guest
reviews are a key factor in influencing travel decisions. Accor are leading
the way by encouraging online customer feedback as well as engagement from
hotel managers. We believe this is sending a very positive message to the
industry." said Severine Philardeau, Senior Director of Partnerships at
TripAdvisor.
