The Reviews page is a central hub for all guest feedback across various booking platforms. It aggregates reviews from Airbnb (including multiple accounts), Booking.com, and internal ‘surveys’ and ‘checkups’. This eliminates the hassle of logging in and out of different accounts, allowing you to manage everything from one place.

On this page, you have the ability to reply to reviews with AI-generated messages, create tasks based on guest feedback, and follow up with guests who haven't left a review yet, either encouraging them to leave a review or persuade them not to if their experience was negative.

AI-powered analysis of reviews highlights any issues mentioned in guest feedback. This tool is effective in managing and potentially preventing negative reviews.

All data will undergo analysis in our Business Intelligence tool, located in the Analytics section.

The list is arranged based on the urgency of the review status, considering the remaining time in the review window. Most urgent will appear on top.
