With an award-winning restaurant and countless TripAdvisor Travellers Choice awards, the hotel recently decided to expand their relationship with Guestline as they looked to simplify and streamline the payment process and reconciliation bringing benefits to both the guest and the hotel.
Why it matters: The hotel was keen to bring efficiencies to numerous aspects of the payment and reconciliation process. They were looking to streamline processes for both the hotel and the guest.
  • Solution implemented: GuestPay

Top 3 Core Objectives: Areas of particular importance included
  • Simplify the chargeback process: Chargebacks were causing issues for the finance team, with investigation and resolution proving both time-consuming and costly for the business.

  • Enhance the payment process: the guest payment process was very much shaped by internal processes and systems. The hotel recognised this needed to change to make this more guest friendly. Management of refunds - the tracking and administration of refunds was cumbersome and was especially evident throughout the pandemic. Simplification of this was important.

  • Exceptional customer support: Underpinning all this, Cuillin Hill Hotel was looking for exceptional customer support

"We have seen a 100% reduction in successful chargebacks since using Guestline!"
