How does Voice AI collect guest feedback?

Guests receive a voice link via SMS during or after their stay. They click and have a conversation with AI about their experience. The AI asks about different aspects of their stay, probes deeper on concerns, and captures detailed feedback conversationally—much richer than checkbox surveys.

Why is voice feedback better than written surveys?

Voice achieves 86% response rate vs 8-12% for email surveys. Speaking is easier than typing—guests share more detail (7x more words on average). Voice also captures emotional context: tone of voice reveals whether "it was fine" means satisfied or disappointed. Written surveys miss this nuance.

How does mid-stay feedback enable service recovery?

When guests share concerns mid-stay (day 2 of a 5-night visit), you can fix issues before they leave. "The air conditioning is too loud" can be addressed with a room move or maintenance visit. Problems become service recovery wins instead of negative reviews.

What happens when the AI detects a problem?

Issues are flagged immediately in your dashboard with severity assessment. Critical issues (cleanliness, safety, major service failures) trigger instant alerts to management. You can contact the guest while they are still on property to resolve the issue.

How does this prevent negative reviews?

Guests who have problems want to be heard. If they share concerns with you and you resolve them, they are less likely to post negative reviews. Voice feedback gives guests an easy outlet to vent—and gives you the chance to make it right before they tell TripAdvisor.

Can the AI identify positive feedback for staff recognition?

Yes. When guests praise specific staff members or experiences, AI flags these for recognition. "The housekeeper Maria was exceptional" gets routed to management for staff appreciation. This boosts morale and reinforces great service.

How much does this cost?

$29/month includes 500 voice minutes. For 3-minute feedback conversations, this supports approximately 165 guest feedback sessions monthly—suitable for most properties.

What languages are supported?

Currently English and Arabic with native voice conversation. International guests can provide feedback comfortably in their preferred language, leading to more honest and detailed responses.

Configure Feedback Topics

START HERE

Set feedback categories: room cleanliness, staff service, amenities, dining, check-in experience, value for money. Customize questions for your property type.

Set Feedback Timing

Choose when to send voice links: mid-stay (day 2 of longer stays), at checkout, post-checkout, or combination. Mid-stay enables service recovery; post-checkout captures complete experience.

Guest Receives Voice Link

Guest gets SMS: "Hi [Name], how is your stay at [Property]? We'd love your feedback—tap here to share: [link]". Guest clicks when convenient.

AI Conducts Feedback Conversation

AI asks about their experience: "How has your stay been so far?" Guest responds naturally. AI probes on specifics: "You mentioned the room. What did you think of the cleanliness and comfort?"

Management Acts on Insights

Dashboard shows all feedback with transcripts, sentiment scores, and flagged issues. Negative mid-stay feedback triggers immediate alert for service recovery. Trends identify systemic issues.

"Our email survey got 9% response—always from the angriest guests. Voice feedback gets 84% response and we hear from happy guests too. Last week we caught a plumbing issue on day 1 of a guest stay, fixed it same day, and they left a 5-star review mentioning our responsiveness. That would have been a 1-star complaint before."
