Partnering with The Guestbook has been phenomenal.

The program that Guestbook has created has increased our direct bookings substantially which is crucial to the success of Independent hotels. In today's world consumers enjoy the options on what they can use their rewards for and Guestbook allows for that component!
Easy to use platform; excellent customer service; constantly evolving and improving; non-nonsense advice; increases conversion rate and guest loyalty by a lot.
The platform is very user friendly and the customer service for the hotel and guests are super helpful and very responsive.
The current incentive for customers to book directly with us has proven to be a valuable aspect of our strategy. By bypassing third-party platforms, guests not only enjoy a more direct and personalized booking experience but also avoid the burden of high commission fees. This not only benefits our customers but also contributes significantly to our bottom line, allowing us to reinvest in enhancing the quality of our services and amenities. Building on this success, we are considering the introduction of a comprehensive loyalty program designed to reward our repeat customers. A loyalty program would not only serve as a token of appreciation for our guests' continued trust and patronage but would also provide them with tangible benefits that extend beyond a single stay. Such programs have proven to foster a sense of brand loyalty, encouraging guests to choose us for their future travel needs. The loyalty program could encompass a range of enticing perks, including exclusive discounts, complimentary room upgrades, early check-ins or late check-outs, and perhaps even partnerships with local businesses to offer unique experiences to our loyal guests. By tailoring the program to cater to the preferences and needs of our valued customers, we aim to create a compelling reason for them to choose us over alternative accommodation options.
