Abstract: Abstract In order to adequately utilize and integrate both ratings and comments from multiple websites, this paper proposes a new hotel evaluation model with probabilistic linguistic information processing. Taking consumers’ possible psychological activities when leaving their reviews into consideration, this paper adapts the Weber-Fechner Law with the linguistic scale function and develop a novel unbalanced linguistic scale function. This paper also attempts to develop a method that enables adjusting linguistic-term formations among different websites to make full use of information. Then, we learn the decision criteria and the corresponding weight of hotel evaluation based on analyzing rating rules and consumer comments. Moreover, considering the interrelationships among criteria, this paper extends the Choquet integral to the probabilistic linguistic term set (PLTS) environment and designs some novel fusion operators. Furthermore, considering the fact that different websites mostly focus on heterogeneous hotel criteria, this paper puts forward a weighted averaging linear assignment based ranking method with the aid of PLTS Choquet integral. Finally, a case study of hotel evaluation is given to illustrate the validity and applicability of our proposed approach.
