Digital Reputation for Hotels: Skyrocket Direct Bookings

Occupancy Means Reputation

While location used to be the only metric in hospitality, today Google Maps rating is the new prime real estate. A vacation is a significant financial and emotional investment for your guests.

Bypass OTA Commissions (Booking, Expedia)

Having a stellar 4.7+ rating gives guests the localized trust to click directly to your website and finalize their booking, saving you 15-20% in OTA commissions.

Strategic Reputation Collection

1. Lobby and Check-out Checkpoint

Implement a sleek, branded QR code stand at the reception desk. When guests look satisfied while checking out, prompt them to scan and review.

2. Defeat the 1-Star Nightmare Automatically

When an angry guest selects 1 or 2 stars via Buaze, they are NOT directed to public Google. Instead, they land on a private, internal feedback form for hotel management only.
