Kipsu was developed hand-in-hand with the world's leading service oriented brands. See why it works.
Hoteliers know that reputation is everything. A strong reputation from positive reviews brings hotels guest loyalty and an increase in revenue. Adversely, even one negative review can bring a hotel increased costs to repair their reputation. How much does a negative review cost? It isn’t just a simple loss of a booking or a comped room; it can cost you much more.
One of the most crucial aspects of that communication that guests will notice is your responsiveness. Are you responding to your guests quickly and appropriately? If guests feel ignored, they are going to leave negative reviews and look elsewhere for their next trip. If you want guests to be satisfied, you need to address their issues quickly.
Kipsu’s guest messaging has proved time and time again that it is an effective resource across Marriott properties for service recovery. Engagement between guests and staff, and keeping documentation of conversations, are very useful in rectifying bad experiences and preventing bad experiences in the future.

A good hotel’s ultimate purpose is to be hospitable and accommodating to its guests’ needs—this includes the needs of its hearing-impaired and deaf guests. According to the NCRA (National Court Reporters Association), over 28 million Americans are considered deaf or hearing disabled. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, hotels and motels are required to provide effective communication methods to ensure their deaf guests are being properly accommodated. The ADA covers everything from the number of rooms that needed to be accessible to guests who are deaf or hard-of-hearing to requirements for fire alarms and other safety equipment to TV captioning. Here are a few things to double check that you have available to hearing-impaired guests:
