A manager approves every draft before your team posts it.
- Reply drafts for every guest review, in your property's voice
- Complaints about rooms, noise or check-in answered with care
- A manager approves every reply before it goes public

What it is
AI Review Response Agent for Hotels & Hospitality drafts replies to guest reviews from Google and booking sites in your property's voice. It picks up what each guest mentions about rooms, service, check-in or breakfast. Complaints get a careful tone. Every draft waits for approval, and nothing is posted automatically.
Why businesses buy it
Front-desk and guest relations teams rarely have time to answer every review across booking sites, so many guests never hear back and future guests notice the silence. Rushed replies to complaints can make things worse. This edition drafts thoughtful, specific replies that reflect how your property speaks, including careful handling for unhappy stays, so managers simply review and approve. Your team keeps the final word. The Scope Card sets the voice, formats, destination and testing before you order, so the result is predictable.
Problems this solves
Guest reviews stack up across booking sites during busy check-in periods
The agent drafts replies in your property's voice for the front-office or guest relations team to approve. Nothing is posted automatically, so staff stay in control between check-ins.
Replies ignore the room, breakfast or check-in detail a guest raised
Hotel review categories pick up what each guest mentions about rooms, service, check-in or breakfast. The draft then responds to that point directly, not with stock thanks.
Different staff answer guests in very different tones
A hospitality tone guide and reply templates keep every draft in one voice, whichever team member approves it. Complaints and praise each get their own agreed tone.
A good fit if
Reviews arrive from several booking and review sites, and replying to each one falls to a stretched front desk.
You want each reply to mention what the guest actually raised, not a pasted thank-you.
Complaints need a careful, consistent tone, and a manager should sign off before anything is public.
One destination, such as a shared inbox or drive, is where your team would pick up drafts.
Not the right fit if
You want guest reviews analyzed for recurring themes as well as answered. See AI Hotel Review Agent.
Guests need answers before and during their stay, not only after it. See AI Hotel Guest Support Agent.
You want feedback from surveys and messages grouped into themes for managers. See AI Customer Feedback Intelligence for Hotels & Hospitality.
You run several properties that each need their own voice. Add Multi-Brand Setup, or Multi-Location Setup, for branches under one brand.
How it works
- Your house voice is set from brand guidelines and up to 20 reply examples you like, including how you answer a complaint and a glowing stay.
- New reviews reach the agent the way agreed at intake, for example review notification emails sent to the connected inbox or a regular export.
- Each review is read for what the guest actually raised, such as a slow check-in, a noisy room or a staff member named for praise.
- Up to three reply formats are drafted, for example a short public reply, a fuller reply for detailed reviews and a private follow-up for a guest who had a problem.
- Drafts land in your one destination and wait for the manager you name.
- Your team posts approved replies on each review site, so nothing goes public without a person deciding.

Expected benefits and how to measure them
- Can help your property reply to more guests while they still remember the stay
- Keeps every reply in the property's own voice
- Shows future guests that feedback is heard
- Share of guest reviews answered
- Compare reply rates on your main booking and review sites for the month before launch and the month after.
- Reply time on guest reviews
- Track days from review to reply each month on those platforms.
- Staff time on review replies
- Ask front-office staff to log weekly time spent, before and after.
Before you start: Record last month's reply rate and average reply time on each booking site you use.
These are things to track, not promised results. Outcomes depend on your data, your team and your market.
Running costs
You pay for the build once. Drafting replies then costs roughly $20 to $150 a month in AI model usage in your own accounts, rising with review volume and the number of formats per review. Your PMS, booking engine and channel manager costs do not change.
AI usage during build and testing is also billed to your accounts.
Ask about running costsCustom requirements
Replies in a second language, a second destination, or more than three formats are outside this scope. A second language is covered by the Additional Language Pack; for anything else, add a note at checkout and a written Change Quote follows.
Request a custom versionKeep it running
Monthly maintenance covers monitoring, fixes and change hours, enough to update replies after a renovation, a policy change or new management. It starts after the 30 days of support.
$249/mo (the minimum fee, includes 2 change hours)
Optional. Starts after the post-launch support period. Cancel any month.

|---|---|---|---|
| Price | A reputation tool charges monthly per property | A hospitality marketing agency bills a retainer | Ours is one fixed price, shown before you buy |
| Specifics | Template replies with the guest's name swapped in | Depends on who writes that week | Ours answers the points each guest raised |
| Complaints | The same tone for praise and problems | Agreed per brief | Ours drafts a public reply and a private follow-up, both approved first |
| Delivery | Quick to install, templates written by you | Weeks to brief and settle in | Ours has a fixed delivery time shown before you buy, with faster options |
Questions about this product
Can the hotel review agent post replies to booking sites itself?
No. Drafts are delivered to one destination, such as a shared inbox, a drive or your website's CMS, and your team posts approved replies on each review site. That keeps a person in charge of every public word and avoids connecting platforms outside the agreed scope.
How does the hotel edition handle a complaint about a stay?
It drafts a calm public reply that acknowledges the specific problem without arguing, guided by the complaint examples you supply, and can draft a private follow-up for the guest too. The drafts offer no compensation unless your policies say they should; your approver decides what is sent.
Will hotel review replies get our check-in and cancellation rules right?
Yes, when you provide them. Policies guests often mention, such as check-in times, cancellation terms and parking, become part of the agent's reference, so a reply that touches on them stays accurate. If a policy changes, update it through monthly maintenance so later drafts follow it.
What does the Hotels & Hospitality edition add to the standard review agent?
A hospitality workflow template and an intent library tuned for guests, covering stays, rooms, service and check-in. It is tested on hospitality scenarios. The standard AI Review Response Agent covers Google and platform reviews for any business. This edition understands how guests write about a stay on Google and booking sites, and how a property should answer.
How long does it take to set up review replies for a hotel?
Delivery follows a fixed schedule shown before you buy, with express and rush options if you want replies running before high season. Your guidelines, past replies, policies and destination access are due within 72 hours of ordering, and late items push the delivery date back. You approve 25 sample drafts on real guest reviews before launch.
What does the hotel review agent cost to run?
Roughly $20 to $150 a month in AI model usage, billed to your own accounts, depending on how many reviews arrive and how many formats you draft for each. A busy property drafting public and private replies sits higher. Monthly maintenance is optional.
Is there a hotel bundle that includes review replies?
Yes. The AI Hospitality Stack combines AI Hotel Booking Agent, AI Hotel Guest Support Agent, AI Hotel Upsell Agent and AI Hotel Review Agent under one combined intake. Choose this edition when review replies are the only gap, and the stack when bookings and guest support need work too. Both show their fixed prices before you buy.
