I presume they meant all outlet views [incl. newspapers or other blogs] who picked up the video around the world.

thanks again kamel123 !
The instagram member who posted the video could have been a "guest" of the hotel, paid by him/herself or by the hotel/invitation, specially when it's a known blogger, it's not unheard of that such "bloggers" receive invitations to "try" the hotel for free and report in social media about it. Could be this way or could be the other way. Overall, it's fascinating in regards to the "power of social media", perceived or not.

I found it equally interesting to read about the "spike" in enquiries/bookings because of the 15/20sec. video. Also I guess, many of them haven't heard or thought about the Hotel Villa Honegg before they actually saw the video, at least that's my guess.

In regards to being booked out until April 2017, they could be, >>>
Sebastian Klink, the Villa Honegg’s head of administration.
Cheers & Safe Travels. ^
