Resort feedback:
Guest problems resolved 85% faster

We built an AI system that collects a global resort group's guest feedback from reviews, social media and surveys. It translates and prioritises each comment and sends tasks to staff. Service recovery became 85% faster.

Overview

Project
at a glance

Industry
HospitalityA global resort group with 50+ properties, collecting guest feedback in many languages.
How we worked
Dedicated product teamA language AI specialist, 2 data engineers and a UX strategist worked inside the client's digital transformation team.
Goal
Fix guest issues during the stayClose the gap between what guests say on social media, review sites and direct channels and what front-line staff do about it.
What we built
Guest feedback AI systemA system that reads feedback from every channel, translates it, and turns it into tasks in the tools each property already used.

The challenge

What was getting
in the way

Guest feedback was spread across TripAdvisor, Google Reviews, social media and internal surveys. Staff processed it by hand, with a 48-72 hour lag, so many service problems came to light only after the guest had checked out.

When reports did arrive, they were long summaries rather than clear jobs for a named team. Hotel managers could see that scores were slipping but not which room, shift or service needed attention first.

  • Complaints missed during the stay

    Serious guest complaints went unanswered while the guest was still on site, hurting the brand and the group's rankings on online travel agencies.

  • Lost revenue on amenities

    Without early signals from local feedback, the group could not adjust prices for its most valuable amenities.

  • Unclear priorities

    Front-line staff received generic data reports instead of specific service tasks they could act on.

The solution

What
we built

  1. 01

    Live collection from every channel

Before and after

How the work
changed

Analysis speed

Before

48-72 Hour Lag

Manual weekly reports meant issues were fixed late and guests left frustrated.

After

Live prioritisation

Under 2 seconds from the moment feedback arrives to a clear instruction for staff.

Understanding

Before

Keyword matching

Simple search terms missed nuance, and sarcasm in other languages slipped through.

After

Meaning and context

Deep-learning models read intent, tone and urgency across 40+ languages.

Action

Before

Static reports

PDF reports were so general that operations teams ignored them.

After

Live tasks

Tickets go automatically to named staff members, with escalation if they are not picked up.

Faster delivery

Built on tested foundations

Reusing these components saved about 8 weeks of setup. The team spent that time on translation and the group's own service categories.

  • Privacy guardrail module

    Masked guest names and personal details in feedback before any text reached the AI models or staff tickets.

  • Hospitality sentiment module

    Gave the team tested sentiment scoring for hotel feedback, which we tuned to the group's 150+ service categories.

  • Experience monitoring platform

    Tracked open and resolved guest issues by property, so managers could see where tasks were piling up.

  • Yield alignment module

    Passed shifts in local guest sentiment to the revenue team, so amenity prices could follow demand.

Trust and control

How we kept it

Book a call

Feedback from TripAdvisor, Google Reviews, social media and internal surveys sat in separate systems and was processed by hand. Reports arrived 48 to 72 hours later, so many service issues surfaced only after the guest had checked out. Front-line staff got generic reports instead of clear tasks.

Act on guest feedback before check-out

If reviews and surveys reach your teams days too late, we can help you build a system that turns them into tasks while the guest is still with you.
