I wanted to use R to explore hotel review data. I chose to explore reviews for 3 hotels from Trip Advisor. First, I had to scrape the review data. I have described how I scraped the data here. I used the extracted review data and did the following exploratory analysis:
* Check ratings over time
* Check the frequent words in the top quotes for each review grouped by star rating
* Check if I can find any themes in reviews with simple k-means clustering
I have described the exploratory analysis of data here.
I think my analysis was probably a bit simplistic. Right now I didn’t find anything non-obvious from this exploratory analysis. But it was still a fun exercise. In the future, I will explore how topic model packges work with this data.
