WOM receivers are able to get a comparatively objective and credible evaluation with online photo collection of hotel reviews uploaded by former travelers. WOM senders’ strength of expression- convincing argument like WOM with visual information increase WOM receivers’ trust. When these WOM receivers find the inconsistency between hotel official photos and guest photos, their sense of perceived risk increases, and makes them to avoid patronizing the bad-reputation hotels.

Negative word-of-mouth with visual information illustrates the importance of customer satisfaction concept. In accordance with the implication on negative word-of-mouth asserted by present studies, this study detects why customers take negative hotel word-of-mouth into account in selecting hotels, and provides useful knowledge for online markets and hospitality industry.
