# Answer guest questions around the clock

A four-step playbook to collect approved property information, answer routine guest questions with sources, pass bookings and complaints to staff and keep each property’s details current.

For: Hotel, rental, tour and hospitality teams who answer the same guest questions every day across one or more properties.

Guests ask about check-in times, parking, amenities and policies at all hours, and the answers already exist in property information. Answering only from approved sources, and passing anything booking-specific to staff, gives guests quick replies without risking wrong promises. These four steps keep each property’s details owned and current.

## Step 1 — Collect property information

**Goal:** Know exactly what may be answered automatically.

1. Gather property pages, policies and FAQs for each property.
2. Give each property’s information an owner and a review date.
3. Remove outdated offers and seasonal details.
4. List topics that always go to staff: booking changes, refunds, complaints and special requests.

**You finish with:** Owned, current information per property and a list of staff-only topics.

## Step 2 — Answer with sources shown

**Goal:** Give accurate answers guests can rely on.

1. Answer only from the approved information for the right property.
2. Show the source with every answer.
3. Say clearly when no source answers the question.
4. Test with real past questions before going live.

**You finish with:** Tested answers with sources shown.

## Step 3 — Pass the rest to staff

**Goal:** Keep bookings and complaints with people.

1. Route staff-only topics with the conversation attached.
2. Offer a clear way to reach a person at any time.
3. Tell guests when staff will reply outside office hours.
4. Use guest details only as the privacy policy allows.

**You finish with:** Reliable hand-offs to staff.

## Step 4 — Review and improve

**Goal:** Keep answers right as properties change.

1. Review a sample of answers each week.
2. Fix the source when an answer was wrong or missing.
3. Update property information before each season.
4. Track routine questions answered and after-hours response times.

**You finish with:** A weekly review and current property information.

## Common pitfalls

- Answering from another property’s information.
- Promising booking changes or refunds automatically.
- Outdated seasonal details in the sources.
- No clear way to reach a person.
