The research team of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of virtual hotel operations (VHO) in the daily administration and maintenance of hotels. The major goal of this research was to design an accomodation network orchestrator (ANO) that could be used on top of Airy applications. This investigation concerned Airy Rooms. Airy Rooms has tied up with inexpensive hotels in Indonesia, basically. One of the crucial yet difficult responsibilities of every service provider is to maintain a decent quality of service. Tangibility, dependability, responsiveness, assurance and empathy are high-quality service. A “customer gap” exists when there is a gap between the service level that consumers expect and the service level they actually receive, and may be either bigger or less. To determine how much Airy Rooms is lacking in terms of customer service quality standards, the researchers of this study examined data from 210 millennials who have utilized the services of the firm. The researchers used SPSS 20 software to produce data for statistical investigations. The results show that the actual value of each item is far more than the client’s assessment. This means that the client is unsatisfied with the service obtained in every aspect. It is therefore that the total of the expectations exceeds the sum of the senses, which verifies the claim. And at the 95% significance level, the value is less than 0.05, which means that the results of the paired sample statistics table comparing anticipation vs. perception on all dimensions are significant.
