OPERATIONS

Discover how Stay KooooK transformed their review management process with MARA's AI solution, significantly improving response quality and efficiency.

Why it matters: Annika Kobielak, responsible for Reputation Management at Stay KooooK, faced the challenge of managing an increasing amount of guest feedback across their urban living brand. With the expansion of their properties and an increase in online reviews, the task of responding efficiently and authentically to each one became increasingly overwhelming. The team initially struggled to personalize responses to short reviews, which hindered their ability to engage with guests effectively.

With MARA's AI-powered reputation management solution, Stay KooooK not only streamlined their review management but also achieved a remarkable improvement in response quality. This transformation allowed the team to focus on delivering exceptional guest experiences while ensuring that every piece of feedback was addressed promptly and thoughtfully.

Top 3 Core Objectives: Stay KooooK is continuously expanding its urban living brand, leading to an increase in guest feedback. The increase in guest feedback necessitated a more efficient approach to review management. Before implementing MARA, the team faced significant challenges in responding to reviews, often struggling to craft personalized responses to short reviews.

Improve Response Quality: Stay KooooK aimed to significantly improve the quality of responses to guest reviews. The goal was to engage more effectively with guests and demonstrate a commitment to guest satisfaction.
Greater Efficiency: The team sought to reduce the time spent on crafting responses to reviews. Previously, staff members spent a significant amount of time per response, which was not sustainable given the increasing volume of feedback. The objective was to streamline this process to allow for quicker replies.
Multilingual Responses: Stay KooooK recognized the importance of responding to guest feedback in their native languages. They aimed to ensure that responses were not only accurate but also culturally sensitive and authentic.
