Nevertheless, numerous issues associated with customer satisfaction have been reflected on hotel booking website, which is worth studying in depth, as it is more likely to adversely affect profitability and competitiveness of luxury hotels. In the present paper, the effect of service quality, SERVQUAL dimensions, corporate image and self-service technology (SST) on customer satisfaction is delved into, as well as the association between customer satisfaction and customer revisit intention. Questionnaires were collected in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. As the result suggests, service quality, corporate image and SST significantly impact customer satisfaction. Except for dimension of empathy in SERVQUAL model, the rest of dimensions noticeably impact customer satisfaction.
