Website chat check for hotels

A guest on your website is one click away from an online travel agency. An open AI check shows whether your chat answers their question fast enough, and well enough, to keep the booking direct.

How guests use your chat

A guest who opens your chat has already found you. They want one thing settled before they book: is there a room for these dates, what does it cost with taxes and fees, is breakfast included, can I bring the dog, is parking free. A clear answer with a link to book direct keeps the booking. A slow or vague one sends the guest back to the travel site where they started.

Hotel chats are often run by a booking-engine bot, sometimes with a handoff to the front desk. Both can work well. Both can also loop, deflect or answer the wrong question.

What our AI asks a hotel

  • Availability and the rate for specific dates and a room type.
  • What the price includes: taxes, resort or service fees, breakfast, parking.
  • A policy question that decides the stay: pets, early check-in, cancellation.
  • How to book direct, and whether the chat offers a link or a hold.

The AI introduces itself as an AI check and plays an illustrative guest. It never claims to be a person.

What the report looks at

  • Time to first reply, and whether a person joins when the bot cannot answer.
  • Rates and policies: a specific answer, a range, or “please check the website”.
  • Accuracy: do the answers match your own website?
  • The next step: a direct booking link or a clear way to reserve.
  • Tone: welcoming, clear, free of copy-paste blocks.

Each point carries the quote behind it. The sample report shows the format.

Instead of a hotel mystery shopper for your chat

Hospitality shops by agencies cover the stay itself: arrival, the room, the restaurant. For the website chat, an open check is faster and repeatable. Our AI writes as a guest would, says it is an AI, and the judge scores the transcript against one checklist. The comparison in detail: mystery shopping vs an AI check.

Notes

Questions, answered straight

Our chat is a booking-engine bot. Can you check it?

Yes. We score whatever answers: a bot, a person at the front desk, or a handoff between them. The report says which.

Will the AI make a real reservation?

No. It asks about rates and availability and notes whether a booking path is offered, but it never holds or books a room.

Does my staff know it's a check?

Yes. The name field reads AI check by Straight Answer and the first message says it is an AI running an open check.

Can I check several properties?

Each plan covers a number of verified websites; the pricing page lists them. Checks run on demand.
