More Guest Satisfaction with seamless automation

Digital registrations and self-service kiosks have reshaped the hospitality industry for guests and hoteliers alike. Imagine a stress-free hotel experience with no waiting in line at the front desk and a smooth and secure registration process, both for the guest and the hotelier.

Hotels can offer their guests the freedom to choose between classic reception and self-service option, which is in particular appealing to tech-savvy guests who enjoy a self-guided experience.

GuestStay empowers guests to skip the queues at front desk and start enjoying their stay sooner. And what's more, hotels can focus on refining their bottom line

We're delighted with GuestStay - it has been thought out really well and covers every aspect of the guest journey. It’s helped minimise the number of people in reception and has taken the pressure off the check-in process, generally making it more efficient and risk-free. The guests are now filling in their full details (including their email addresses) meaning the data is accurate, up-to-date and can be used for marketing purposes as most agree to receiving further comms from us.

FAQs

We’ve listed all our frequently asked questions here to give you a head start, but if you can’t find the answer to your query, don’t hesitate to contact us.

  • Are there costs associated with GuestStay?

    Yes, GuestStay has a per room, per month fee (no installation fee). To find out more please contact us here.

  • Is GuestStay PMS agnostic?

    GuestStay only integrates with Guestline Rezlynx cloud PMS. See how your property can benefit from our PMS here.

  • Is GuestStay available for all reservations & channels?

    GuestStay Digital Registration card is sent automatically or manually to all guests regardless of where their reservation was made (i.e. OTA, direct or over the phone). If the OTA is using email masking, the field will appear blank. This gives you a chance to capture accurate data for your guests. However, the guest proof of registration is only sent to guests who complete the digital registration via GuestStay.

  • Can the GuestStay emails be automated and customised to reflect our look and feel?

    Yes, guests will automatically receive a branded email reminding them to complete their details the day before they are due to check-in. When a booking is created for arrival today or tomorrow, guests receive the pre-arrival email immediately. The guest proof of registration and billing emails share the same GuestStay digital registration look and feel. The proof of registration will be automatically sent to guests after check-in while the billing email will be manually sent at any stage between check-in and check-out by the hotelier. Additionally, in the Guestline Rezlynx PMS “Template Editor” hoteliers can embed the registration card link as a button or hyperlink in a new or existing pre-arrival email and set up the automation rules in the “Template Automation”. Don’t worry, you will find all the information you need in our Support Portal.

  • Does the guest need to download an App?

    Good news! No app is required for your guests to download. Guests just need a device (i.e. tablet, smartphone, laptop, desktop), good internet connection and a modern browser (internet browser agnostic) to enjoy the benefits of GuestStay.

  • Can the registration card, proof of registration or billing link be customised?

    At the moment, the solution is standard and only a few fields can be customised such as logo, colours, picture and T&Cs. Our product team is working tirelessly to expand these options which we hope will be available soon in one of our regular development sprints.

  • How many additional guests can be added on the registration card?

    The Digital Registration card will allow lead guests to add on as many guests as the reservation has. For instance, if a reservation is for 3 guests, it will allow up to 2 additional guests.

  • How long does it take to install?

    Installation is quick, easy and done remotely, taking three days on average. Hoteliers just need to send us the branding elements and then set up their T&Cs, email/SMS templates and automation rules in the PMS

  • On what devices is the proof of registration available?

    It is available on both Apple & Android phones.

  • Are online payments available by default with GuestStay?

    No, if you want to include online payments on the departure date you will need to purchase GuestPay. To know more about the GuestPay, please click here or contact us.

With GuestStay, most of the admin associated with checking in a guest is eliminated, which has enabled us to personally greet our guests on arrival and provide a more hospitable and engaging welcome. It helps us tailor our service to their needs and ensure they have everything they need for their stay instead of going through paperwork and asking them 20 questions! Also it helps the environment by saving paper and enables us to keep physical contact with guests to a minimum which is essential during these post-Covid times.
