Hospitality · Reviews & reputation

We set up a simple, fair way to ask every guest for a review and to reply to what they say. Your team sees reviews from Google and booking sites in one place and answers them in your own voice.

In plain words

Reviews & reputation,explained without jargon.

What does review and reputation management mean for a hotel or restaurant?

One idea at a time. Each sheet lays over the last, so the picture builds up. Tap a number to jump.

Think of it like this

It is like a manager who walks the floor every evening, asks each table how the meal was and remembers to thank them.

01 / 04

It is the routine of asking guests for feedback after they stay or dine, replying to the reviews they leave and learning from what they say.

02 / 04

The asking happens through a short message with a direct link to your review page.

03 / 04

Replies are drafted by your team, often with help from templates, and posted on Google and the booking sites where guests found you.

04 / 04

The goal is a steady flow of recent, genuine reviews and visible, polite responses.

The decision

The question we hear most:Who should reply to your reviews?

The board turns through each option. Tap one to hold it and read the trade-off.

Pick this when

You run one property or outlet and want every reply to carry personal weight.

The trade-off

Replies slow down when the owner is travelling or busy in peak season.

What shapes the quote

Four factors,four corners of your project.

Each corner grows when that factor is on the larger side. The outline is your project's footprint, and the quote follows it.

Footprint

A compact project. The smallest footprint for your quote.

An example

Picture a business like yours,in three frames.

A typical situation, not a client story. The line in each frame goes from tangled to straight as the work is done.

How we avoid it

Ask every guest the same way and never attach a reward to a review.

Reviews & reputation questions,answered plainly.

Search the answers. If yours is missing, ask us on the call.

Cost & timeHow soon can we start collecting reviews, and what changes the price?

Most setups take 2 to 3 weeks. Cost depends on how many locations and platforms you cover, whether requests trigger automatically from your PMS or POS, and whether we help draft replies each month.

Getting startedCan we give a discount to guests who leave a review?

Google's policies do not allow incentives for reviews, and that includes discounts, freebies and contest entries. Indian consumer rules also treat paid or incentivised reviews that are not disclosed as misleading, so check with your adviser before running any review campaign.

Getting startedCan we ask only satisfied guests to post on Google?

No. Filtering guests so only happy ones reach the review form, often called review gating, goes against Google's policies. We send every guest the same request and offer a private feedback form alongside it.

In IndiaWhat do Indian rules say about online reviews?

The Consumer Protection Act and e-commerce rules treat fake reviews as unfair trade practice, and BIS published IS 19000:2022 as a standard for collecting and publishing online reviews. Platforms are adopting these practices, so check with your adviser on what applies to you.

Getting startedCan we remove a fake or abusive review?

You can flag reviews that break a platform's policy, and the platform decides whether to remove them. Meanwhile, a calm, factual reply shows future guests your side.

OwnershipWho owns the review data and guest contacts?

Your Google Business Profile, OTA accounts and messaging accounts stay in your name. Guest phone numbers used for requests are personal data under the DPDP Act, so we collect consent and keep only what you need.

Getting startedCan reviews appear on our website?

Yes. We show recent reviews through an official feed or a widget that follows the platform's display rules. We do not copy, edit or select reviews by hand to make the section look better.

Getting startedWhat happens after the first month?

Your team keeps replying with the guide and the requests run on their own. On a care plan we send a monthly themes report, update templates and check the setup still works after platform changes.
