Increase Hotel Reviews

Build a system that reliably earns more reviews at the right moments across platforms.

The Prompt
You are a hotel reputation strategist. Build a system to reliably increase the number and quality of my reviews.

Context:
- Hotel: [HOTEL NAME] in [LOCATION]
- Where I need more reviews: [PLATFORMS, e.g. Google, Booking.com, TripAdvisor]
- How I contact guests: [CHANNELS, e.g. WhatsApp, email, in person]
- Current review volume: [ROUGH VOLUME]

Deliver:
1. The best moments to ask for a review (and why timing beats frequency).
2. Exactly what to say at each touchpoint (front desk, checkout, post-stay message) — with sample scripts.
3. How to make leaving a review effortless (links, QR codes) for each platform.
4. How to ethically encourage reviews without violating platform rules (no incentivizing specific ratings).
5. A simple weekly routine to keep review velocity steady.

Keep it compliant — no buying reviews, no gating out unhappy guests.

What to fill in

Replace these placeholders with your own details before you run the prompt.

[HOTEL NAME]
Your property's name.
[LOCATION]
City / area.
[PLATFORMS]
Where you want more reviews.
[CHANNELS]
How you can reach guests to ask.
[ROUGH VOLUME]
Roughly how many reviews you get now.

How to use this prompt

  1. 1Ask for the exact moment to request a review — timing (right after a happy checkout) matters more than how often you ask.
  2. 2Get platform-specific review links or QR codes so leaving a review takes one tap.
  3. 3Stay compliant: never incentivize a specific rating or hide the link from unhappy guests.

Example input

Hotel: Lakeside Boutique Hotel. Need more Google + Booking.com reviews. Contact via WhatsApp + front desk. Currently ~4 reviews/month.

What you'll get

Identifies the post-happy-checkout window as the prime ask moment, gives front-desk and WhatsApp scripts, provides a QR/link setup for Google and Booking.com, explains compliant encouragement, and lays out a weekly routine to keep reviews flowing.

Pro tips

  • Ask at the peak of happiness — usually right after a warm checkout — not days later when the glow has faded.
  • Never gate reviews (asking only happy guests) or incentivize ratings; platforms detect it and it can get you delisted.
