Hospitality Review Management
Aggregates reviews from all OTA channels. Sentiment analysis with competitive benchmarking. Gemini drafts responses for GM review.
01 PROBLEM STATEMENT
Manual Review Monitoring is Missing Competitive Insights and Delaying Response
A hotel property relied on GM and front office staff to manually monitor OTA reviews across TripAdvisor, Booking.com, and Google My Business. Review monitoring was reactive and incomplete. Competitive benchmarking was not systematic. Negative review themes were not surfaced to department heads for action. Response drafting consumed significant GM time. Response SLA compliance was inconsistent; some reviews were responded to within 24 hours, others were delayed by days.
02 CURRENT CHALLENGES
What the Property was Struggling With
Manual Review Monitoring
Incomplete and Reactive
GM and staff manually checked OTA channels. Incomplete coverage across platforms. Monitoring reactive, not proactive.
No Competitive Benchmarking
Department heads unaware
No systematic competitive benchmarking in place. Property blind to how the comp set performed on the same OTA channels.
Negative Review Themes Not Surfaced
Department Heads Unaware
Negative review themes not aggregated or surfaced to department heads. Operational feedback loop broken and issues persisted.
GM Time on Response Drafting
Hours per week
GM spent hours each week drafting individual responses to reviews. Time not freed for guest interaction or operational oversight.
