Why a WhatsApp chatbot for your hotel

WhatsApp is where guests message spontaneously, before, during and after their stay. But replying by hand to every message, in multiple languages and at all hours, is unsustainable for the front desk.

An AI WhatsApp chatbot answers every message instantly, recognises the guest's language and keeps a tone consistent with your brand — without keeping anyone waiting and without overloading staff.

  • Official, unlimited WhatsApp Business
  • Instant replies day and night, even at peak times
  • Automatic language detection in 130+ languages
  • Escalation to the team with a summary when a human is needed

AI chatbot vs rule-based chatbot

Rule-based chatbots only work while the guest follows the script: the moment a question is off-pattern, they break and create frustration. Hotea's AI chatbot understands freely worded requests, keeps context and answers with your property's real data.

The result is natural conversations that feel like a real receptionist, not a menu of buttons.

Not just answers: bookings and revenue

A well-built WhatsApp chatbot doesn't just inform — it sells. Hotea sends quotes, suggests upgrades and experiences and guides the guest to confirmation, recovering bookings that would otherwise go to OTAs.

  • Sends quotes and converts them into direct bookings
  • Automatic upselling: upgrades, late check-out, local experiences
  • All chats in one unified inbox with the team
  • Lower OTA commissions thanks to the direct channel
