Hoteliers say
SmartHost stands out as a comprehensive direct booking tool in the hotel industry, praised for its stable performance and effective guest communication features. It enhances hotel efficiency by automating offer requests and simplifying guest interactions, directly impacting revenue through better guest experiences. However, it faces challenges with integrating payment solutions and could benefit from improved customization and AI automation, highlighting both strengths and potential growth areas.
All Suite Resorts, Andreus Resorts, Schlosshotel & 236 others
Read their reviewsPartners say
Industry experts recommend Smart Host for hotels that want to turn PMS data into direct bookings, personalized offers, and lifecycle messaging. Reviewers say its standout is the guest-data loop: pre-arrival emails, automated upsell offers, and post-stay surveys that catch issues before they hit public review sites while inviting happy guests to review. It fits hotels needing hotel-specific CRM, automation, and measurable revenue impact.

"We have been working with Smart Host for some time now and are extremely happy that we chose the system. This was the best decision. Our newsletters all look top "styled" and do little work. It simplifies a lot. The filtering works fantastic and is super useful for many other things as well. We would recommend it to anyone."
"We use Smart Host for newsletter distribution, which we control according to target groups. Super simple! So the guest gets the information he is interested in."
"The planning of the newsletters is really very well organized and a very big help for us. In general, we find that SmartHost approaches their customers and takes care of them very well."
"We started with the campaign module years ago. It is so clear and simple that an extension to the offer manager was only logical. I would especially like to emphasize the extremely nice AND competent team around Julian Leitner. I can only recommend Smart Host across the board."
"This is exactly how a newsletter program should be! Super easy to use - clear & logical. The selection is suggested by an algorithm and works flawlessly, so Smart Host relieves us of the most difficult part of sending newsletters. The interface to our hotel program allows transparency and the success is easily measurable. In addition, the customer service is very helpful! All questions and concerns are quickly addressed. In short - our expectations were exceeded!"
"Smart Host has really grown on us. This tool enables us to make our day-to-day work much easier with the offer manager. Newsletters alone were old fashioned, now it's the Smart Host campaigns that help us pick up the guest where their interest lies and give us an overview of what success the campaign is having in the first place."
"For our hotel, Smart Host is an optimal relief for our employees in terms of correspondence with guests. In addition, a super contemporary sales tool for newsletter planning and design."
"The arrival mailing is very good, because the guests can easily announce their wishes. For every change, the team is with the utmost care and fast implementation on my side. The review page is also top. If someone was not so happy, we can react immediately and the guest does not post it immediately on all online platforms. In times of Holiday Check and Co. a great advantage! I can only recommend the system."
"The newsletter planning is really a great tool with which you can advertise at the right time for the right period. You can send a lot of newsletters without being a annoyance, because the filtering works great and there is never a risk that guests get something twice or worse get a newsletter with a better price than the one they already have."
"I have rarely experienced such friendly and competent support. Easy and understandable handling of the product. Everything is set up in such a way that you can use it without a lot of prior knowledge. You can send targeted newsletters and we have received an enormous increase in additional sales by sending pre-stay mails and learn a lot about our guests in advance, e.g. why the guest books with us. For us, this means that we can also provide the guest with specific information about his or her interests in advance."

Expert Q&A and Partner Recommendations
Submit RecommendationWhat does this product or service do well?
Smart Host puts everything you know about a guest into one profile. Booking history from the PMS, preferences and interests from the surveys, all in one place, so your team stops hunting for details before writing to a guest. The offer manager is a good example: you send an offer in minutes, the guest books directly, and the whole conversation stays attached to it.
Showing all answers to: "What does this product or service do well?"
What differentiates this product or service from the competition?
Guest wishes don’t stay stuck in an inbox. A guest answers the pre-arrival email asking for a quiet room and an extra pillow, and because Smart Host connects with us at Mews, that request reaches housekeeping before arrival. The room is ready when the guest walks in, with no scribbled notes at the front desk.
Showing all answers to: "What differentiates this product or service from the competition?"
Based on your experience with this product or service, if you could give one piece of advice to a hotelier considering this product or service, what would it be?
Switch on the pre-stay and post-stay surveys early, and decide who on your team reads the answers. Smart Host lets you react to criticism before it reaches the review portals and invite happy guests to leave a public review, but that only works if someone owns the follow-up. Your personal success manager can help you set that up.
