A woman in China has been hired to stay in five-star hotels and rate the services offered by the staff.
She was selected out of 7,800 candidates and has stayed in more than 200 hotels until now.
Zhuang sleeps on the bed as she shows a part of her job as a Hotel Test Sleeper at a boutique hotel in central Beijing.
Zhuang was selected as one of three final winners out of 7,800 candidates and started working for Qunar as a Professional Hotel Test Sleeper in March 2010.
Zhuang checks a tea cup at a business chain hotel, in Beijing. At present, she has slept at more than 200 hotels.
"My job is to role-play travellers of different types, different ages and genders at different scenarios, and see how each hotel fits their particular needs." Zhuang says.
Zhuang checks the bed of a Beijing traditional hotel with courtyard houses, known as "Siheyuan" in Chinese, in central Beijing.
Her reviews help travellers make smart hotel picks and bring them a more pleasant experience on the road. Qunar, a Chinese online travel platform, started to recruit Professional Hotel Test Sleepers in 2010.
Zhuang checks the texture of the toilet paper at a business chain hotel, in Beijing. The requirement for this new profession is to sleep at selected hotels without disclosing their real job and write expert reviews about the facilities, location, dining, services and prices of the hotels, in order to provide an independent third-party evaluation and an authoritative guide to travellers, according to the company.
