The real reason doesn’t fit in a form.

We talk to your guests after checkout: a real 5-minute conversation. You get the reasons that never show up in a survey, ranked by what matters most.

From checkout to comeback.

  1. Day 0: Checkout

    It starts with a guest list.

    One exported list: name, mobile number or email, departure date. No PMS connection, no IT project. We only call guests who agreed to be contacted.

  2. Day 1: The invitation

    An invitation, not a form.

    The day after departure, a short message goes out in your hotel’s name. No questionnaire link: an invitation to talk, with a €30 voucher as a thank-you. Most interviews happen within the week.

    Thanks for staying with us, Ms Keller! Got 5 minutes for a quick phone chat about your stay? There’s a €30 voucher for your next visit in it.
  3. Week 1: The call

    Follow-ups do the real work.

    5 minutes, led by our AI interviewer: the core questions first, then a follow-up wherever an answer stays vague. On the phone, guests say what they would never type.

    Live interviewevenings included

    “Where exactly did things go wrong at check-in?”
    “I waited in line for twenty minutes …”
    “Twenty minutes. What was happening at the desk?”
    “One person working, and a line into the courtyard.”
  4. Weeks 1–2: The coding

    Every call gets coded.

    Each one is transcribed and coded by theme. One complaint is an anecdote; 21 of 34 guests is a fact. The counts decide what makes the report.

  5. Week 3: The report

    What to fix first is on page one.

    Findings with real quotes and root causes, each with a recommendation, its effort and its impact. The ranked list is page one. On your desk in three weeks.

  6. Months later: The comeback

    The guest comes back.

    The €30 voucher brings the guest back through your door. And the conversation itself told them something no questionnaire can: this hotel listens.

A report you can act on Monday morning.

  • By theme

    Every theme, counted

    Check-in, breakfast, rooms, service. Each finding names its theme and how many of the 34 guests raised it.

  • Verbatim

    Real guest quotes

    Word for word, with the interview number attached. You hear your guests, not our summary of them.

  • Root causes

    Why it happens, not just that it happens

    The follow-up questions trace each complaint back to what causes it, so the fix lands on the cause, not the symptom.

  • Ranked

    Effort against impact

    Each recommendation states its effort and its expected impact, and the findings are ordered by that priority. The ranked list is page one.

Report: Hort de Sant Cebrià, 34 interviews

Breakfast 8–9 am: 21 of 34 guests mentioned bottlenecks at the buffet.

Cause: a single coffee machine and no refill round after 8 am. Recommendation: a second coffee station and one refill round at half past eight.

EffortLow
ImpactHigh

By half past eight the scrambled eggs were gone.

Guest, interview #12

I queued fifteen minutes for a coffee. I would never have mentioned that in a questionnaire. But you’re asking about exactly that.

The survey got a 7. The call got the reason.

Post-stay survey

UnderHeard call

A rating tells you something was off. A conversation tells you what.

Months later, the lights stay on late. And the guest who mentioned the scrambled eggs? Back for the weekend.

34 conversations. One report. Three weeks.

Fixed price. No software, no integration. A guest list is enough.

If the report doesn’t tell you anything you didn’t already know, you pay nothing.
