Bookboost
Unified guest messaging inbox for hotels, from website chat to WhatsApp.
About
Bookboost is a guest communication platform for hotels that centralizes messaging across website chat, SMS, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, email, and OTA channels into one unified inbox, with automated replies, templates, bots including a chatbot booking agent, guest history, and analytics. On Hotel Tech Report it carries around 195 verified reviews at 4.8/5 with a 91 HTScore and a 96% likelihood to recommend, and comparison pages rank it highly for ease of use (4.73/5) and support among European boutique and luxury properties. Pricing starts at about $400 per month, and the 57 listed features include upselling tools, task and request management, and pre-stay through post-stay journey automation.
Where reviewers push back is on the operational details that matter for a messaging tool: a meaningful minority cite weak search, lag, missed messages, and noisy notifications, and some want stronger AI-generated responses with more control over timing and triggers. The platform leans toward detailed manual control rather than full automation, which suits larger multi-property hotels with staff to operate it, but is less ideal if you want a mostly hands-off AI concierge.
