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.
It’s that time of year where everyone is looking at budgets for the next year and deciding what is worth keeping, removing, or adding to the budget. As hotels and management companies continue to find ways to increase efficiency and reduce fines and comped rooms, many are evaluating their tech stack. As a leading guest messaging solution trusted by the most recognized brands, Kipsu is the tech tool your hotel needs to boost loyalty recognition, loyalty signups, and survey scores. Here are just a few ways Kipsu can help your hotel realize ROI across the property.

However, within the hotel sphere, there are many ways to classify different places to stay. For example, boutique hotels and chain hotels offer contrasting experiences for travelers. Boutique hotels, with their intimate size and local ownership, pride themselves on unique decor, personalized service, and cultural immersion.
