Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The authors of the research Continuous Intention on Accommodation Apps: Integrated Value-Based Adoption and Expectation–Confirmation Model Analysis aims and performs the work based on the analysis of "background factors that affect the continued intent to use O2O accommodation application services" and the verification from the point of view empirically by applying an integrated model.

The concepts and bibliography are well reflected by the authors in the paper, which demonstrates that they master the terminology of the concepts and research patterns used.

The methodology of research is a well-grounded tool-based, analyzed data, and models relevant to the author's work, and the structural equation model with parametric estimates is clear and reflects accuracy in data processing.

The authors reflect in the conclusions and the actual results, which is why we first suggest the authors to present the results of the research as a chapter of the paper, and the part of the conclusions and discussions, including the managerial implications in a final chapter.

In terms of the conclusions presented, the authors demonstrate that they have achieved the purpose of the study, namely "to validate the main factors affecting the continued intention to use O2O accommodation applications by applying an integrated model of VAM and ECM"

Therefore, with these additional additions to the review of the paper, we propose, only after review, the publication of the authors' paper.

Reviewer 2 Report

In the manuscript, authors’ analysed the antecedent factors affecting continuous intention to use O2O accommodation app services, and empirically verified them by applying an integrated model comprising the value-based adoption model and expectation-confirmation model.

The topic of the paper is interesting as well as the academic contribution of the work.

The paper is clear, well written and well organized. The methodological approach is technically correct. All the relevant references have been included demonstrating a good knowledge of the field by authors’, and the literature review contributes to the definition of the concrete contribution of the paper. English language and style are fine.

Therefore, I suggest the acceptance of the paper in present form.

Reviewer 3 Report

Thank you for your interesting work. There are a number of issues making necessary a revision. Introduction is not well written. The paper should focus on related literature that has more closely connected with the present study. What is the novelty of the present study comparing to the recent literature? Conclusion seems to be general. I suggest that the authors note specifically following the results of the present study. The conclusion section should highlight more clearly how the results compare with the recent literature review

Round 2

Reviewer 1 Report

The authors present very clearly the analysis of the antecedents that affect the continued intention to use the accommodation application services, as well as the application of an integrated model that includes the Value-Based Adoption Model (VAM) and the Expectation Confirmation Model (ECM).

Complements made by authors are pertinent, and citations of bibliographic sources are well included in the paper. Also, the conclusions completed by the authors are appropriate for the topic of the paper.

Therefore, after this complete review, we propose to publish the work of the authors.
