What the work can include

Reputation deliverables for hospitality

Deliverable / 01

Guest feedback and response ownership

The workflow defines what is monitored, who reviews it and who is allowed to respond. Sensitive matters move to a private route.

Deliverable / 02

Review escalation and reply templates

Requests for genuine feedback are neutral. Review purchases, incentives and selective positive-only solicitation are not part of the service.

Deliverable / 03

Accurate amenity and policy checks

Accurate information, verified evidence and explicit permissions support public trust. Any unsupported claim is held for review.

Deliverable / 04

Permission-led guest-story publication

Escalation categories route relevant issues to operations or the authorised professional. The agency does not resolve matters beyond its remit.

Deliverable / 05

Pre-arrival expectation setting

Reporting summarises recurring feedback themes and action status without exposing sensitive customer details. Response counts are not rating promises.

Deliverable / 06

Recurring feedback-theme review

The maintenance record tracks approvals, information changes, corrections and next steps so responsibility remains clear.

Room inventory, rates, availability and bookings remain in the client booking system. Media spend, travel, property shoots and booking commissions are not included.

Reputation questions

common questions.

Still unsure? Ask us directly.

What is included in reputation for hospitality?

Typical deliverables are guest feedback and response ownership, review escalation and reply templates, accurate amenity and policy checks, permission-led guest-story publication. The exact quantities, revisions and handover are fixed in the statement of work before work begins.

How much does reputation cost?

Work usually starts with Diagnose the problem (from ₹30,000), which confirms whether reputation is the real priority. The closest engagement, Operate & improve, has a proposed starting fee of ₹1,00,000 per month. A final quotation follows the scope agreement.

How do you measure reputation?

Against measures agreed up front, such as confirmed booking enquiries, recorded direct bookings, cancellations and completed stays. Activity, valid enquiries and client-recorded outcomes are reported separately, and missing attribution is documented rather than estimated.

What do you need from us?

A named reviewer, accurate business information, authorised images and evidence, access to the relevant accounts and an operational contact who owns the next customer action.

How can a hotel get more direct bookings?

Give guests a reason and confidence to book direct: the same or better total price, clear policies, fast replies on WhatsApp or phone and accurate photos. Consistency with OTA listings builds trust rather than confusion.

Should hotels reply to negative reviews?

Yes—promptly, specifically and without arguing. Acknowledge the issue, explain what changed and invite the guest to continue privately. Future guests read replies as evidence of how you treat people.

The next considered step

A sense of place.
Let’s start there.

Tell us about the business, the gap and the work you need. Start with a useful brief—not a bigger package.
