Partners 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.

You can send your guests beautifully designed emails and websites without much effort. Once you have set them up, you save a lot of time. Since the data is transferred automatically, you don't have to check as much (did I transfer the right price, did I spell the name correctly, etc.).

Expert Q&A and Partner Recommendations

Submit Recommendation
Question:

What does this product or service do well?

Answer:

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.

Question:

What differentiates this product or service from the competition?

Answer:

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.

Question:

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?

Answer:

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.
