Sumario:[EN] This study aims to contrast the nonlinear moderating effect of satiation—an emotional variable with proven influence over different consumer behaviors—on consumers' willingness to pay (WTP). With a longitudinal survey, the authors measured WTP across two stays for the same type and category of tourist accommodation. The results indicate that satiation exerts a U‐shaped moderating effect on the relationship between WTP across two repeat purchases of hedonic use service. Further, satiated customers are willing to pay up to 11.2% less than their previous stay, which contributes to satiation, hospitality, and hotel pricing literature.
