Hospitality & Hotels testimonial challenges

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

Booking sites like Booking.com and Expedia take a commission on every reservation 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 Endorsal 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?
Send a follow-up email 24-48 hours after checkout with a link to record a video testimonial. The memory is still fresh and guests can record from anywhere — home, the airport, or their next destination.
Can I use guest testimonials to drive direct bookings instead of OTA bookings?
Absolutely. Embed testimonials on your direct booking pages with a 'Best Rate Guarantee' message. Guests who see authentic peer reviews on your site are more likely to book direct.
Does VideoTestimonials have automated email collection like Endorsal?
Yes. You can send automated testimonial request emails and follow-ups, just like Endorsal, with added AI features and a broader widget library.
Can I keep using text testimonials if I switch?
Absolutely. VideoTestimonials supports both text and video testimonials. You can use either or both depending on your needs.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes 20 text and 10 video testimonials, the Wall of Love and embed widgets, with no time limit and no credit card required.
