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.
