Hospitality & Hotels testimonial challenges

Every hospitality & hotels team we talk to runs into the same testimonial problems. Boast solves some, ignores others.

OTAs like Booking.com and Expedia charge 15-25% commission and control the guest relationship

Guest reviews on TripAdvisor shape your reputation but you can't curate or showcase the best ones on your site

Photos show rooms but not the feeling of a stay — atmosphere, service quality, and personal touches are invisible

Group and event bookings require demonstrating experience and reliability to meeting planners and wedding coordinators

How VideoTestimonials solves them

What you actually get in VideoTestimonials that Boast doesn't fully address for hospitality & hotels.

Collect guest video testimonials via post-stay email that capture the emotional high of a great trip

Embed guest stories on your direct booking page to reduce OTA dependency and increase direct revenue

Build a Wall of Love organized by experience type (romantic getaway, family vacation, business travel, events)

Showcase event client testimonials to win group bookings, conferences, and wedding business

FAQs for Hospitality & Hotels

How do I collect testimonials from guests who have already checked out?
