This research targets to explore the dimensions of wellness tourism service quality based on customers’ quality perception. Social media platforms such as Google reviews and hotel review blogs/websites were used to gather 400 public reviews. A Naïve Bayes machine learning Sentiment Analysis approach was used to identify critical areas to improve service delivery, customer relationship, and hospitality management in wellness resorts.

Assurance, empathy, and reliability have the most negative sentiments shared by tourists. Food quality, rooms and accommodation facilities, safety and security, attitude towards customer complaints, the behaviour of the staff, error-free services, and proper training are areas upon which Indian wellness resorts should focus.
