WhatsApp for hotels and inns

A guest asking at 11 p.m. about a room for the holiday gets an answer right away, with your house rules, and the front desk picks up a booking request that's already organized. Before arrival and after checkout, the messages go out on their own.

Hi! Do you have a room for a couple from November 14 to 16? We're bringing a small dog.
Hi! We welcome small pets in our ground-floor cabins, and breakfast is included. I'll pass your request to the front desk to confirm availability and the rate for those dates — is that OK?Yes, go aheadI have another question
Yes, go ahead
Done! The front desk has it: couple, Nov 14–16, with a small pet. They'll reply here with the rate.

What holds back WhatsApp for hotels and inns

After-hours questions turn into bookings elsewhere

"Any rooms for the holiday? Are pets allowed? Is breakfast included?" Guests who get no reply at night book with whoever answers first.

A front desk split between the counter and the phone

Check-ins, checkouts, calls and WhatsApp all at once. The message always loses to the person standing in front of you.

Bookings that could have been direct

A returning guest who wants to come back ends up booking through a platform because it's faster than waiting for a reply.

Guests who never hear from you again

After checkout, nobody asks for a review or lets happy guests know about the low season.

Ready-made flows you can launch

Message templates to get started

Frequently asked questions: WhatsApp for hotels and inns

Does the AI confirm bookings on its own?

Today it answers questions, collects dates, guests and preferences, and hands over to the front desk to confirm availability and rate. If your booking system has an API, you can connect an HTTP tool to the agent for lookups.

Does it integrate with my booking system?

Through Picchat's public API, your system can create the contact and enroll the guest in the pre-arrival automation as soon as the booking is confirmed. There is no ready-made integration with specific hotel systems.

Can I send promotions to past guests?

Yes, with a Marketing template approved by Meta and only to people who agreed to receive messages. Anyone who opts out is flagged and won't receive more.

Can I collect a deposit over WhatsApp?

You send the payment link from your payment provider in the conversation, and Picchat records each guest's click.

Does it work in other languages?

The AI models understand and reply in other languages. Instruct the agent to answer in the language the guest writes in, using the information you've set up.
