Why a French media
Every year, millions of French tourists travel abroad. France is one of the top source markets for outbound tourism, and these travellers book mainly online.
78% of French tourists search on Google before booking accommodation. A review published on a trusted French media like Testavis appears directly in their search results.
Testavis is the leading French media for travel reviews, listed on Google News for 10 years and read by 2 million readers per year. Publishing a review of your hotel on Testavis puts you in front of French travellers right when they are choosing their accommodation.
What your hotel gets
A review published on a trusted media, not just content. Here is what it means for your hotel.
A review on a trusted media
Your hotel is featured in a detailed review published on testavis.fr, a media recognised by Google News. Not a social media post — an in-depth article on a site read by travellers.
Visible when travellers search
Testavis content is indexed by Google. When someone searches for a hotel in your city, your review can appear in the results and influence their decision.
Tour video on YouTube and TikTok
A 5 to 10-minute tour video published on YouTube Testavis (219,000 views/year) and a short format on TikTok. Travellers want to see before they book.
Authentic photos of your hotel
10 to 20 HD photos taken during the stay: room, common areas, restaurant, spa, exterior. Real images, not marketing visuals. You can reuse them on your own website.
Content that stays online over time
Unlike a seasonal ad or an Instagram post that disappears in 24 hours, your Testavis review stays online and accessible for years.
An independent review that builds trust
Our reviewer stays at your hotel like any guest. This independent perspective reassures hesitant travellers far more than a commercial brochure.
Long-lasting visibility on Google
Reviews published on Testavis are indexed by Google, Google News and Google Discover. They can appear in search results when someone looks for a hotel in your city.
A review can be viewed several thousand times and influence bookings over the long term. Some of our articles generate traffic for several years after publication.
Videos published on YouTube Testavis are also indexed by Google. They appear in video results and on YouTube when travellers search for hotel reviews.
Visibility depends on factors beyond our control (competition, seasonality, algorithms). We do not guarantee rankings or traffic volume. We produce quality, optimised content published on a media already recognised by Google.

Why a Testavis review instead of traditional advertising
Long-lasting vs short-lived
A Google Ads campaign or a sponsored Instagram post disappears when the budget runs out. A Testavis review stays online and keeps generating visits for months, even years.
Credible vs promotional
92% of consumers trust editorial content more than advertising. A review based on a real stay, published by an independent media, reassures hesitant travellers far more than an ad.
Findable vs intrusive
Your review is indexed by Google. It appears naturally when a traveller searches for a hotel in your city. You are not interrupting people with ads — they find you right when they are searching.
Complete vs fragmented
A single Testavis review produces: an article indexed on Google, photos on Google Images, a video on YouTube, a short on TikTok, a Google News post. Multiple visibility channels from a single production.
A review that reassures hesitant travellers
A traveller hesitating between several hotels will naturally choose the one they have seen a full review of — with photos of the room, a video tour of the facilities and an independent reviewer's opinion. This multimedia experience, published by an external media, dispels doubts that your commercial brochure can never resolve.

Stop paying for hot air
Compare what you actually get for your marketing budget.
Traditional marketing agency
- €3,000 to €10,000 for a PowerPoint "strategy"
- Ephemeral social media posts that disappear in 24h
- No content indexed by Google
- Impossible to measure ROI — opaque reporting
- Nothing tangible your customers can find
- Budget runs out, visibility disappears
A Testavis review
- From €1,770 excl. VAT (or complimentary stay with no invoice)
- An article indexed by Google for years
- YouTube video + TikTok available permanently
- HD photos reusable on your own website
- Customers find you when they are actively searching
- Measurable ROI: views, clicks, tracked bookings
The difference: an agency sells promises, Testavis produces tangible content that works for your hotel 24/7, 365 days a year. A permanent digital asset, not an advertising expense that evaporates.

Frequently asked questions
Does the reviewer actually stay at the hotel?
Yes. Our reviewer books a room and stays like any guest. They assess the reception, room, breakfast, facilities and overall service. No preferential treatment — that is the condition for an authentic review.
How many nights does the stay last?
Between 3 and 5 nights depending on the chosen package: 3 nights for an article + photos review, 5 nights for a full review with YouTube video and TikTok. This duration allows us to experience the hotel in different situations and produce rich, authentic content.
What is the best time for a review?
Any time works. To maximise impact, we recommend publication before peak search periods for your area. We can adapt to your hotel's seasonality.
Does the review mention prices and services?
Yes. The review covers the elements that matter to travellers: room, breakfast, restaurant, spa, location, indicative prices. This information can be updated on request within 12 months of publication.
Can we use the photos and video on our website?
Yes, usage rights are included in all our packages. You can use the HD photos on your website and online listings. The YouTube video can be embedded on your site. Content remains attributed to Testavis.
Are the links to our website tracked?
Yes. Each review includes a tracked link to your website or booking platform, allowing you to measure traffic and bookings generated. An affiliate partnership can also be set up.
We are a small independent hotel, not a chain. Is Testavis suitable?
Our best reviews are about independent and boutique hotels. These are the hotels that benefit most: a well-ranked review makes them visible against large chains, with authentic photos and a credible opinion.
We speak English — will communication be possible?
Yes. Our team speaks English and French. All pre-review communication can be conducted in English. The review is published in French, as it targets French tourists looking for a hotel abroad.
