TL;DR
- Guests leave when they can't get a fast answer about availability, price or amenities.
- An AI virtual assistant answers instantly, in the guest's language, 24/7.
- It checks live calendar availability and filters by amenities like a pool, sauna or parking.
- Every direct booking avoids the 12–20% OTA commission.
Why Guests Leave Without Booking
Manual responses are slow, static filters are impersonal, and doubt kills conversions. When a potential guest cannot quickly confirm availability or compare options, they move to a channel that answers in seconds. AI removes that friction.
How the AI Virtual Assistant Works
Embed a simple chat on your website. The assistant reads a natural request such as “a room for 4 people on 15-20 December” or “apartments with a swimming pool for 2 this weekend”, checks real availability from your calendar and filters by the requested amenities (pool, sauna, jacuzzi, parking, pet-friendly and more), then returns matching apartments with total prices — sorted from the cheapest option. It speaks the guest's language and offers clickable next steps.
More Direct Bookings, Less OTA Commission
Every direct booking made on your website saves the 12–20% commission you would pay to an online travel agency. Even moving a fraction of reservations to your own site pays for the system many times over — and you keep full control of guest data and relationships.
Always On, Always Consistent
The assistant works 24/7, never forgets a guest count, never quotes an invented price and answers in the visitor's language. Your team stays in control — the assistant simply handles the repetitive part of every booking conversation.
