The reports and required narratives require that you be very detailed. The first evaluation I did for them a few years ago - restaurant/bar lounge, seemed like it took over 12 hours, over the course of two days, as I was just getting used to the writing style and format they require. Got an 18/20, and after that consistently scored 20/20. It took me a few years to finally get assigned a hotel shop. These shops are very involved with the narratives totalling over 31 saved pages in a Google or Word doc. I only apply for the high end shops - with reversable hotel charges averaging approximately $2500.00 per stay. I will be doing a five-star hotel evaluation this month with total reversible/reimbursable charges estimated to be $3,000.00. Definitely worth it to stay and dine at beautiful, high-end properties and evaluate their spa and concierge services, but take heed, as others have already pointed out, these assignments are not for the faint of heart. Expect to devote days to writing your narratives. Just the capturing and formatting of images, and then uploading and labeling them using their naming conventions can take up hours of your time.
