15-25% to OTAs
Every OTA booking costs you €18-€30 per night in commission you'll never recover
After-hours DMs dropped
22:14 sea-view DM with no reply for 20 min = booked on an OTA instead
Group enquiries die in inbox
Sunday wedding-block DM read Tuesday - by then they're booked at the property down the road
Stale rates on cached quotes
An AI that quotes from cached memory is one wrong rate from a refund + a bad review

What a 24-hour booking cycle looks like with hotel booking automation.
The same DMs arrive. The difference is what happens when your front desk is checking in a tour bus and a guest in another timezone wants to lock in three nights.

Sea-view DM bounces to an OTA
"Sea-view for 14th-17th?" - no reply for 20 min. They book on an OTA instead. You pay €58 in commission.

What your AI booking system for hotels actually knows.
Upload your room types, rate plan, cancellation policy, group block pricing, and pre-arrival upsell catalog. Hotel booking automation learns all of it once - and quotes accurately, in 30+ languages, with live PMS data on every reply. Multi-property groups see every hotel in one queue with per-property SLA, and guest chat history stays in your EU data region (GDPR by default).
Room types + live rates
Live PMS feed (Mews, Cloudbeds, Opera, Little Hotelier) - never quotes stale prices. 60-minute cache refresh built in.
Rate plans + parity
Direct-rate parity respected per channel, walk-up rates distinct from advance rates, package rates with inclusion rules.
Group + wedding blocks
Block-rate sheet, group-calendar pencil, ceremony / reception extras, deposit invoice automation.
Pre-arrival upsells
Sea-view upgrade, airport transfer, restaurant booking, spa, dining add-on - sent 48h before check-in via templated WhatsApp message.
Cancellation + rebooking
Cancellation window per rate plan, inventory release, waitlist auto-promote, rebooking in the original conversation thread.

Every booking moment - automated.
From a 22:00 sea-view DM to an 08:00 cancellation rebook - hotel booking automation handles every booking moment, in your property's voice and your guest's language.
Direct bookings captured before they drift to an OTA.
A guest DMs your Instagram at 22:00 asking about a 3-night stay. Without hotel booking automation they bounce to an OTA and you pay 15-25% commission. The AI quotes your real live rate from your PMS, holds the room, and hands the confirmed guest to your direct booking engine. On a €120/night stay you save €54-€90 per recovered booking.
- Live rates from your PMS or channel manager (Mews, Cloudbeds, Opera, Little Hotelier)
- Quotes direct-rate parity only when you've confirmed it's active
- Holds the room and hands off to your existing booking engine
- Saves 15-25% OTA commission on every recovered direct booking
- Works across WhatsApp, Instagram, website widget, and Business Page
