Thumbnails
For thumbnails in the gallery, use smaller sizes (around 300 x 300 pixels) for faster loading.
Images on Individual Pages
Adjust the size according to the page layout, but ensure that the images are large enough to appreciate the details.
Photos to Avoid
Low-quality photos, avoid blurry or low-resolution photos.
Cluttered photos, ensure that the areas photographed are clean and tidy.
Irrelevant images, avoid including photos that do not add value or have uninteresting details.
Overloaded images, ensure that the photos have distinctive details, but not too many.
Distorted perspectives, avoid angles that distort the appearance of the rooms or common areas.
Outdated photos, keep the photos updated to reflect the current appearance of the hotel.
