The user-generated content (UGC) Web sites are gaining popularity for a wide range of media content, such as news, blogs, forums, and open-source software. Instead of relying on information on company Web sites, users benefit by reading reviews written on UGC Web sites by consumers. Online evaluations are usually informative and reduce the information asymmetry. This study examines the problem where UGC can be expedient for online hotel booking. It investigates the relationship between the ratings obtained from the TripAdvisor.com reviewers and the hotel price levels in the United States, outside the United States, and top 20 hotels and others, respectively. Findings suggest that medium-priced hotels provide a comparable value with their high-priced counterparts. Further, the ratings for U.S. hotels are lower than others across all price levels.

The work is focused on the post-eventual discourse that is considered as collective response to the news, post, event etc. The paper discusses research approaches and such distinctive phenomena of the post-eventual discourse as topic problematization, negative appraisal, increasing number of referential objects and their transformation. We claim that perspectives on studying of post-eventual news and citizen discourse in online communities are related to the scope of Intent-analysis. Results of empirical work on the intentional structure of discourse and manners of discursive impact were found with original techniques of Intent-analysis. The sample included 500 comments on the news and UGC (user generated content) web-sites for the period of 2013 -2018. The relation between intentional and rhetorical features in post-eventual discourse reveals the communicant’s choice of a particular way of discursive impact.
