Online consumer reviews (OCRs) have received increasing scrutiny in recent years. The present study focuses on the effect of OCRs on consumers' perceptions and attitudes, when pictorial representation of consumer emotions is used in online hotel reviews. A 2 x 2 experimental study is designed to examine the effect of two independent variables: review valence (positive vs. negative) and emoticons use (no emoticons vs. emoticons). Research findings show that positive OCRs result in more positive attitude and higher booking intention. Interestingly, the presence of emoticons in negative reviews strengthens the review credibility and usefulness, but attenuates consumers' attitude towards the hotel and their booking intention. Managerial implications and research opportunities are discussed.
