Figure 1: Gaps-fill model
As per figure 1, if the cleaning service exceeds the expectations of the guests, no gaps
exist, rather the guests are delighted. The housekeeping personnel are in charge for cleaning-up the hotel rooms. As service varies due to the variability, the guests may perceive cleaning variation in the hotel rooms. If the guests perceive the hotel room cleaning service according to their expectations, they are satisfied, and no gaps exist in that case. In contrast, the guests are dissatisfied when they perceive service below their expectations, and gaps exist. Delighted condition is the stage when guests’ perceptions exceed their expectations.
