The GuestRevu tool enables hoteliers to generate a higher number of quality reviews, which can boost a property’s review score on TripAdvisor. With the interface, hotel guests automatically receive a customised email after checking out, encouraging them to send feedback to the hotel as well as posting a review directly to TripAdvisor.

The hotel will also receive valuable feedback to help them make the necessary operational improvements and provide the best possible guest experience. With the average response rate from GuestRevu emails being 24 per cent, the interface is already delivering impressive results amongst Guestline customers. The Coaching Inn Group saw a 300 per centÊincrease in the number of reviews collected in just three months of using the GuestRevu solution.

“While the explosive growth of online reviews continues to transform the market, hoteliers need technologies to help them stay competitive,” said Kevin Charity, CEO Coaching Inn Group.Ê”GuestRevu’s interface with Guestline provides just the tool needed to leverage this – an automated solution to help hoteliers leverage their guest reviews (both direct and online) and recapture commissions lost to online travel agents.”

Francine Heywood,ÊDirector of Sales and Marketing GuestRevu, said: ÒWe are delighted to have the opportunity to work with Guestline. Our partnership will give Guestline clients access to world-class guest feedback technology, which will assist them in making more informed operational decisions and help them to effectively manage their online reputations.Ó
