Food, Temperature & Hygiene Scores

[Blasé Panda]

Really enjoying this game, just have some questions about expected scores from guests.

At Winterberry, some of the Foodie guests expected 42 for food. Julia’s station is set to 50 per day, but they still gave a review of 4.5 because the food was bland, even though it was 8 points above their expected score. I’ve now increased Julia’s to 60 per day, hopefully that’ll solve the issue, but at an additional (unnecessary) expense.

Temperature is also kind of confusing, with 24 degrees Celsius - their expected temperature- being freezing and 40+ degree temperatures still being cold. This at least doesn’t seem to impact on the reviews unless it’s below 24 degrees.

In Pinefall, some guests are expecting 40+ scores for Hygiene, but the highest I could get the bathrooms to is 37. How do you get a 40+ Hygiene score?

Has anyone encountered this in their game? Are the guests’ expected scores just a guideline?

TBH I just ignored them, concentrated on decor and picked the guests with no expectations, which worked in terms of progress, but I was left wondering why I was paying 2k per cabin to Jaxx when the cabins were still cold and there didnt seem to be any way of turning the heating up.

It turns out to get them warmer you buy more heaters and sacrifice more space for heating, which in hotelier terms is financial suicide so thankfully I never even thought about it.

There didnt seem to be any way of upgrading the boiler in my game and the better heating system just seemed to be more expensive without any performance improvement. I dont know if this means we are to assume that three crap yet much cheaper to run heaters are going to be better than one allegedly good one.

As far as the food was concerned, I just went for menus with mainly cheap options and two really good ones for each buffet, and this seemed to keep them all pretty happy. Ignored the upgrades to grand buffet to see how that impacted in one dining room and it made absolutely no difference. It is funny I have never seen anyone complain about the cost of Julia, nobody wants to spend more time than they need to on the food game. The idea that microwaved food is desirable in any way kind of killed off my interest in what had initially looked interesting for a minute.

Idk about what's up with your food issues but for the bathrooms just stuff as many sinks and toilets in there as you can. Make them go face to face

yeah also discovered last night that across the landing is too far away for bathrooms and being next to a kitchen or utility room reduces your bedroom decor score into extreme negatives
