  • Yes! It's an act of courtesy to those who have taken the time to compliment you, but more importantly, it's a unique opportunity to personally introduce yourself to all the potential clients who will read you as well. You will come across as thoughtful and present and convey more confidence. That will translate into more numerous bookings.

  • In the guide you will find helpful tips on how to respond to each type of review and an example (template) written by us that shows you, how to apply the tips in practice to write the best possible response! For each review, then, you can go back and look at our tips and find a ready-to-use cue.

  • The best way is... to ask for them! You can always do this at check-out, but we recommend that you come "prepared." Already be present and interested in guests' opinions about the quality of your services during the stay itself: asking for a confirmation at check-out will be both a polite gesture and an opportunity to invite them to write a review.
