Review Response and Reputation Automation

Collect reviews from Google, OTAs and Tripadvisor, draft specific replies in your voice, route complaints to the GM and turn recurring themes into weekly actions for each department.

Who it is for

  • General Manager
  • Guest Relations Manager
  • Marketing Manager
  • Quality and Operations Head for hotel groups

The problem

Reviews on Google, Booking.com, MakeMyTrip, Agoda, Tripadvisor and Airbnb shape both search visibility and guest choice. Replying well takes time, so many hotels ignore reviews, paste the same thank-you line or answer a complaint days later. The useful signal in reviews, such as repeated comments about AC noise or slow breakfast service, rarely reaches the team that can fix it.

Replies that sound copied

The same thank-you line under every review tells future guests that nobody reads them.

Complaints answered late or defensively

Negative reviews need a measured reply from someone senior, and they wait in a queue or get an emotional response.

Scattered platforms

Google and each OTA have their own extranet or dashboard, so reviews are checked irregularly.

No loop back to operations

Themes about housekeeping, food, staff or maintenance stay on review sites instead of reaching department heads.

What we build

We build a review workflow that brings reviews from Google Business Profile and OTAs into one queue, using platform APIs or exports where available. Each review is classified by theme, sentiment, language and urgency, and matched to the stay where possible. An LLM drafts a reply that responds to what the guest actually wrote, in your property's voice and the guest's language. Positive reviews go to a quick approval queue. Negative reviews, and anything about safety, hygiene, discrimination or billing, go to the GM with the draft and the stay details. A weekly report shows recurring themes by department, and opted-in guests are invited to review after checkout without filtering by sentiment.

  • Review collection from Google Business Profile and OTAs via APIs or exports
  • Theme, sentiment, language and urgency classification
  • Specific reply drafts in your property's voice and the guest's language
  • Approval queues: one click for positive reviews, GM review for complaints
  • Weekly theme reports by department with example quotes
  • Post-checkout review requests on WhatsApp to every opted-in guest

Where people stay in control

Staff approve every reply before it is published, and the GM handles all negative and sensitive reviews personally. Compensation, refunds or offers are never mentioned in public replies without management approval.

Integrations

  • Google Business Profile API
  • OTA extranets and review exports
  • Hotel PMS for stay matching
  • WhatsApp Business API for post-stay requests
  • Email or Slack for weekly reports

Guardrails

  • No reply published without human approval
  • No guest personal details, room numbers or booking data in public replies
  • Review requests sent to all opted-in guests, never filtered by expected sentiment
  • No incentives for reviews, and no fake or staff-written reviews
  • Sensitive topics always escalated to the GM

Compliance notes

  • Review requests follow platform rules, which generally prohibit selectively soliciting positive reviews or offering incentives for them.
  • Guest feedback and stay data are processed within purpose and retention limits under the DPDP Act 2023.

FAQs

01Can it reply to reviews without approval?

We recommend approval for every reply and require it for negative reviews. Positive reviews go into a quick queue where staff can approve a batch in a few minutes.

02Which platforms can it connect to?

Google Business Profile has an API for reviews and replies. OTA access varies: some offer partner APIs, others need exports or a staff member to paste approved replies into the extranet. We map what is possible for your listings.

03Will replies sound automated?

Drafts respond to the specific points in each review and follow a voice guide written with you, including how formal to be. Staff edits during the pilot are used to tune the drafts.

04Can it reply in Hindi or other languages?

Yes. It drafts replies in the language the guest used, including Hindi and common foreign languages, and staff can view an English translation before approving.
