This research is about how the efforts on the side of the hotel to recover its default of service influences the perception of its customers. The reason why the default of the hotel service matters so much is that it can be transformed into another chance to cultivate more friendly relations with its customers.
The superior quality of service provided for the recovery of default usually can persuade the unsatisfied customers into admitting the full contentment. However, there are also many actual cases in which the efficient recovery of the service fail to remedy the customers' disappointed feelings. For if the default of service is too severe, it can cause irrevocable loss of customers, however hard the hotel might try every possible service to regain their confidence.
In this research all the cases of the recovery of service were evaluated by the standard of the justice. This research examined how the standard of justice was working in determining the quality of the relationship between the service-offerer and the customers, such as trust, satisfaction and commitment and this research also took into consideration the final intention of the customers after the purchase of the service, which can be designated as an eventual result of a service.
Based upon such a basic paradigm, the four categories are created according to the degree of the control and seriousness of the default of service.
As a conclusion from the result of the above research, all of the examined cases succeeded in restoring the customers' contentment and confidence, through the customers' reevaluation of the service-offerer's efforts by the standard of justice. But only when the actual harm inflicted by the default of service was slight, the customers could feel satisfaction and confidence and were willing to provide a positive information to the others by the word of mouth and also to repurchase the service.
Everyone would expect that service-offerers working in the hotels should provide proper services satisfying the customers' anticipation, however, in case of failure, there should be given a strong reward for recovery and also the various ways to secure the future satisfaction and trust of the customers should be sought.
