Every unanswered ring is a booking heading to Expedia

Hotels spend thousands to make the phone ring — then hand 15–25% of every reservation to OTAs because the front desk is drowning in check-in. A single missed group inquiry can represent $20,000+ in room-nights.

60%+ of booking inquiries arrive after hours

Leisure travellers plan trips at night and on weekends — when their next stay is top of mind. Without after-hours coverage, those reservations go to OTAs that never close. Source: Phocuswright Travel Behaviour Report, 2025.

Front desk intake drags on guests in the lobby

Every reservation call pulls your team away from guests standing in front of them. Check-in times stretch, hallway complaints climb, and online review scores drop — all because the phone won’t stop ringing.

Hear the AI handle real hotel calls — live.

Three unscripted reservation demos — a two-night leisure booking with parking upsell, a business-traveller room selection with tiered rates, and a multi-guest conference block. Live AI, no scripts.

AI Good evening, the Alderwood Hotel, this is Daniel. How may I help you?
Caller Hi, Daniel. I'm wanting to book a hotel room for this Thursday and Friday night. Two nights, just for myself.
AI Wonderful. Just to confirm, that would be checking in Thursday and checking out Saturday morning. Two nights for one guest. Do you have a room preference, or would you like me to walk you through options? We have everything from a cozy Classic King to a full Penthouse Suite.
Caller The most basic and affordable room you have.
AI Our most affordable option is the Classic King at $289 a night. That's a beautifully appointed 350 square foot room with a king bed, marble bath, rainfall shower, and city views. For two nights, that comes to $578 before tax. Can I get your name?
Caller Clive Davidson.
AI Perfect, Clive. Classic King for Thursday and Friday, two nights at $289 per night — $578 before tax. I'll send a confirmation to your number, and you'll receive a pre-arrival email with check-in information. Check-in is at 3 PM on Thursday. Is there anything else?
Caller Yeah. How does parking work?
AI We have two options. Valet service is $45 a night with in-and-out privileges. Or there's a self-parking garage right next door at $30 a night, hotel validated. Which would you prefer?
Caller Self-parking.
AI I'll make a note. Just pull into the garage next door when you arrive. Is there anything else?
Caller Nope. That's everything. Thanks.
AI You're all set, Clive. Two nights in the Classic King, self-parking in the garage. We look forward to welcoming you to the Alderwood. Have a great evening.

AI Good evening, the Alderwood Hotel, this is Mary. How may I help you?
Caller Hi, Mary. I need to book a room for two nights this Thursday and Friday.
AI Wonderful. How many guests will be staying?
Caller Just one — myself.
AI And is this a special occasion or just a regular stay?
Caller Just a regular stay. It's for work.
AI Got it. For those dates, we have the Classic King at $289 a night — 350 square feet with a king bed, marble bath, rainfall shower, and city views. A great choice for a work trip. If you'd like more space, the Superior King is $359 a night with a corner room and expanded sitting area.
Caller Just the Classic King — I just need a basic room.
AI Absolutely. Can I get your name?
Caller Clive Davidson.
AI Classic King for two nights at $289 a night — $578 before tax. I'll send the confirmation to your number. Anything else before your stay?
Caller How does parking work?
AI Valet parking is $45 a night with in-and-out privileges. Or there's self-parking at $30 a night in the garage next door. Which would you prefer, or sort it out when you arrive?
Caller I can sort that out when I get there.
AI No problem at all. We look forward to welcoming you on Thursday, Clive. Have a great evening.

AI Good evening, the Alderwood Hotel. This is Mary. How may I help you?
Caller I'm coming to a conference in the Comox Valley May 7th to 9th. Do you have any availability?
AI I'd be happy to help. So that would be checking in May 7th and checking out May 9th — two nights. How many guests will be staying?
Caller There'll actually be two of us.
AI Perfect. Let me share a few options. The Classic Double is $309 a night — 350 square feet with two queen beds, marble bath, and city views. The Superior King is $359 a night — 420 square feet, a corner room with expanded sitting area and soaking tub. And the Deluxe Suite is $429 a night — 550 square feet with a private balcony, harbor views, and separate sitting area. Is this just for the conference, or is there a special occasion?
Caller Just for the conference. The Superior King sounds perfect.
AI Excellent choice. Two nights, May 7th through 9th, at $359 a night — $718 before tax. Can I get your name?
Caller Tom Smith.
AI Perfect, Tom. I'll send a confirmation to your number, and you'll receive a pre-arrival email. We also offer valet parking at $45 a night or self-parking at $30 a night if you'll be driving.
Caller No, we're taking the bus. Just the confirmation details would be great.
We Handle Setup

How It Works

Step 01
01

Connect your property’s phone and PMS

Our team integrates your front-desk number with Opera, Cloudbeds, Mews, Little Hotelier, Guesty, or any other system you run — including custom links into your channel manager and loyalty platform. No hardware changes, no in-house IT.

Step 02
02

AI handles reservations, service, and concierge

Guests speak naturally. The AI checks live availability, quotes rates against your PMS, takes the booking, routes maintenance or housekeeping requests by department, and handles concierge questions from dining to directions.

Step 03
03

Every booking and request syncs to your systems

Reservations land in your PMS with guest details, preferences, and special requests captured verbatim. Service tickets route to housekeeping, engineering, or F&B automatically. Group inquiries reach your sales manager with full context.

Time to live
7–10 business days

Our team handles reservation-flow design, voice tuning, PMS integration, and a parallel test phase against real call recordings — so the day you switch over, the AI already sounds like your property.

Built for how hotels actually take calls

Every capability designed around reservations, service routing, and guest experience — not adapted from a generic call-centre tool.

Live PMS-backed booking

Real-time availability, rate quoting, and reservation capture against your PMS. Seasonal rates, packages, corporate codes, and loyalty-member pricing — all priced the way you priced them, not the way a search engine guessed.

Group & event intake

Captures meeting-room requirements, attendance estimates, catering preferences, room blocks, and cutoff dates — then hands the structured lead to your sales manager with full context and a callback time.

Natural voice conversations

Guests speak freely — no menus, no press-1. The AI handles interruptions, follow-ups, and topic changes like a receptionist who has been at the desk for a decade.

24/7 after-hours coverage

Answers every call at 2 AM, during arrival rushes, on holiday weekends, and while your overnight audit is closing. No outsourced call-centre markup, no lost late bookings.

Smart service routing

Extra towels to housekeeping. HVAC fault to engineering. Early check-in to the front-office manager. VIP arrivals flagged to the GM. Routing rules you define, followed every time.

Call analytics & PMS sync

Full transcripts, sentiment, booking attribution, and commission-saved reporting per call. Every reservation and work order syncs into Opera, Cloudbeds, Mews, or your custom stack — integrations included.

Whatever your property handles — the AI is tuned for it

Four scenarios showing how different property types use Brainova Talk — with pre-configured reservation and service flows for every segment we serve.

1

Boutique property after-hours

An 18-room boutique hotel runs a skeleton overnight team. The AI takes every call between 11 PM and 7 AM — checking availability, quoting the Saturday-night rate, capturing the booking, and sending confirmation by text — while the guest would otherwise have defaulted to Booking.com.

  • Answers within 2 rings, 24 hours a day
  • Quotes live rates from your PMS — no stale pricing
  • Captures direct bookings that skip OTA commission
  • Texts confirmation and writes to the PMS instantly
2

Peak-season resort overflow

A seasonal resort sees 3x call volume the week before holiday weekends. The AI handles overflow alongside the front desk, takes reservations, routes spa and activity requests, and escalates VIP returners to the GM with a full guest-history brief.

  • Handles simultaneous calls — no hold times, no busy signals
  • Identifies returning guests against your PMS profile
  • Routes spa, F&B, and activity bookings by department
  • Escalates VIP arrivals to the GM with guest history
3

Multi-property group routing

A regional operator with four properties needs every caller routed to the right hotel. The AI identifies the property from natural conversation — "the one near the airport" — and books against the right PMS, calendar, and rate plan.

  • Identifies property from natural conversation or number
  • Books against the right PMS and room inventory
  • Applies the right rate plan, package, and loyalty codes
  • Consolidates group-wide reporting in one dashboard
4

International guest multilingual intake

A downtown hotel hosts guests from five continents. The AI detects language automatically — English, French, Spanish, Mandarin, Japanese, German — and books in the guest’s preferred language, capturing dietary and accessibility needs at reservation.

  • Auto-detects language and books in the guest’s preference
  • Captures dietary, accessibility, and accommodation requests
  • Provides concierge recommendations localised by culture
  • Flags overnight arrivals for late-check-in preparation

What hotels are saying

Forty rooms, no overnight front desk. Brainova Talk booked 23 direct reservations in our first month — nine of them after midnight. Back of the envelope, we saved north of $6K in OTA commissions and kept every one of those guests out of Booking.com’s funnel.

Boutique Hotel

We run a 180-room resort with spa, F&B, and weddings. The AI handles call overflow during the arrival rush, routes spa and dinner bookings to the right teams, and flags returning Diamond guests to me by text. I stopped pulling staff off the floor to answer the phone.

Multilingual intake was the unlock. We get guests calling from Paris, Tokyo, and Mexico City — our night auditor speaks English only. The AI takes bookings in six languages and now handles about 70% of our after-hours reservation calls.

Frequently Asked Questions

About the Service

Yes. Brainova Talk connects to your PMS (Opera, Cloudbeds, Mews, Little Hotelier, Guesty, and more) and checks live availability, quotes the right rate — seasonal, corporate, package, or loyalty — and writes the reservation back to the PMS the moment the caller confirms. Room assignment, special requests, arrival-time preferences, and add-ons (parking, breakfast, late checkout) are all captured and attached to the booking. If your PMS isn’t on our list, we build the integration as part of setup.

All data is encrypted with AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit. Payment card information is tokenised through your PMS’s PCI-compliant gateway — Brainova Talk never stores raw card numbers. Guest records can be set to auto-delete on a retention schedule that meets GDPR, CCPA, PIPEDA, or your property’s internal privacy policy. Guest data is never used to train AI models and never shared with other properties.

Yes — and you control how that’s disclosed. Brainova Talk supports configurable disclosure wording at the start of every call, before recording, or at reservation confirmation, depending on your region’s rules (GDPR consent language, US state disclosures, Canadian PIPEDA). The default is transparent: the AI introduces itself as your property’s assistant. The exact wording is yours to set.

Every call is transcribed in full, scored for confidence, and flagged for human review when the AI is uncertain — conflicting dates, an unusual special request, or a guest asking for something outside your policy. Flagged bookings go to your front-office or reservations team before the guest arrives. The AI can also hand off mid-call to the front desk, an on-call manager, or your outsourced call centre based on rules you set. Every transcript, booking, and escalation is visible in your dashboard.

During peak check-in and checkout windows (3–6 PM arrivals, 8–11 AM departures), the AI answers in parallel with the front desk so no caller hits hold music while staff are with guests in the lobby. After hours, the AI answers within two rings and takes full reservations — same availability lookup, same rate quoting, same confirmation — so overnight bookings never default to OTAs. Returning guests are recognised via caller ID against your PMS profile and routed differently: quick rebook, follow-up on an active stay, or a direct transfer to the on-duty manager.

Getting Started

Yes. Brainova Talk integrates with every major hospitality PMS — Oracle Opera (Cloud and on-prem), Cloudbeds, Mews, Little Hotelier, Guesty, RoomRaccoon, Protel, and more. Availability, rate plans, guest profiles, and loyalty data sync in both directions. Reservations created by the AI appear in your PMS with guest details, special requests, and add-ons attached. If your property uses a different platform — a regional PMS, a channel manager we haven’t listed, or a custom legacy system — we build the integration as part of onboarding.

You define "urgent" for your property — lockouts, medical issues, fire-alarm activations, HVAC failure in occupied rooms, flooding, or any category you specify. When the AI identifies an urgent matter, it immediately notifies the on-duty manager via text and email with the room number, guest name, and a situation summary. The caller is told help is on the way, and the AI can keep the line open to the guest until staff arrive.

Yes. The AI is trained on your upgrade ladder and package inventory — suites, club floor, breakfast packages, spa credits, parking, early check-in, late checkout. When a caller books, the AI offers the next appropriate upgrade with pricing and, if the guest accepts, adds it to the reservation and collects payment via your PMS’s payment gateway. Many properties see upgrade-attach rates higher than live-agent benchmarks because the AI never forgets to ask.

Yes. Brainova Talk handles multilingual calls natively — English, French, Spanish, Mandarin, Japanese, German, and Italian, with additional languages added regularly. The AI detects the caller’s preferred language automatically and books in that language, with the same accuracy as in English. For mixed-language callers, it can switch mid-sentence. Ideal for urban hotels and resorts serving international guests.

Plans are custom — they scale with call volume, property count, integration needs, and the level of after-hours coverage you want. Most independent hotels and boutique properties invest in the low-to-mid four figures per month, all-in: setup, PMS integration, custom reservation flows, ongoing optimisation, and human review tooling included. Multi-property groups and resorts scale from there. There’s no separate setup fee and no annual lock-in by default — most properties run month-to-month after a short initial engagement, so you keep going only if it’s working. We’ll quote your property’s exact number on the demo call.

Last updated:

Your next direct booking will call after hours.

Make sure someone picks up. Brainova Talk answers every call 24/7, checks live availability against your PMS, and closes the reservation — before the caller opens Booking.com.

Free 30-minute demo — walk away with a custom reservation flow for your property, yours to keep either way. Plans are month-to-month, no annual lock-in.
