Reviews from Hotels

“We had a problem because the receptionist kept having to answer the phone during check-in. That was rude to the guest standing right in front of her. fonio now handles the standard questions (parking, breakfast hours).”

“Our front desk is unstaffed after 10 p.m. In the past, those were missed bookings. Now the AI picks up. The setup was quick and done in an hour. You have to invest some time at the beginning to make sure the FAQ is properly filled in. Now everything runs like clockwork.”

“I do almost everything here by myself. When I'm boiling eggs or cleaning rooms, I can't answer the phone. fonio collects the requests, and I can see everything organized in the app. Great value for money.”

“The integration into our system went smoothly. One minor drawback: with complex rebookings, the system reaches its limits and has to forward the call. But for 80% of calls, it's the perfect solution.”

What can the AI Phone Assistant do for Hotels?

Processes booking requests and checks the CRM

The AI Phone Assistant for hotels can take booking requests, make reservations, schedule appointments, and answer frequent guest inquiries. When connected, the AI-based Phone Assistant can look up information in the hotel's internal CRM system during the conversation.

Understands and handles requests

The AI Phone Assistant for the hotel industry answers the phone, understands the caller's request, and handles calls automatically. On request, the AI-supported phone assistant makes room reservations by checking room availability in real time and sharing it with the caller.

Handles and confirms table and spa reservations

If needed, the AI Phone Assistant can also take table reservations at the hotel or book spa treatments. After the call, the AI sends the guest a booking confirmation by text message or email. To make direct bookings and reservations, the AI Phone Assistant needs access to the property management system (PMS) and the hotel's calendar.

Answers recurring guest questions around the clock

The AI answers recurring questions from callers, for example about prices, check-out times, directions, or available parking. During setup, the AI Phone Assistant needs enough information about the hotel and its services so that the AI can answer every guest question.

Forwards calls or schedules callbacks

If a call involves a complex issue or a callback request, the AI-supported phone assistant forwards it to the right employee. If that employee is unavailable, the AI sends a message to them or to the right hotel department, so the guest can be called back as quickly as possible.
