AI receptionist for hotels — answer the reservation line when the desk is full

Guests still call for availability, late checkout, and airport pickup. Vocora holds rooms only when inventory rules say free — payment stays at the front desk.

Vocora runs Voice AI and WhatsApp AI on the number you already publish — Hindi, English, or Hinglish. Built for Independent hotels, resort groups.

The hotels & homestays phone problem (India)

Indian hotels and boutique stays publish a phone number that rings the front desk — already handling check-ins. Missed reservation calls become OTA bookings with higher commissions.

WhatsApp enquiries for “room available tonight?” pile up on a manager’s personal phone. Without inventory rules, double-booking risk is real.

Vocora holds rooms only against availability you define. Payment, ID, and exceptions stay with the front desk.

Direct reservation calls are cheaper than OTA share. When the front desk cannot pick up, that margin leaks. Vocora holds rooms only when your inventory rules say free, then reminds guests before arrival — payment and ID stay at the desk.

How Vocora works for hotels & homestays

A typical loop on your published number. Exact scripts are set in a workshop before go-live — integrations beyond CRM / sheet write-back are scoped in the demo.

  1. Guest calls reservation line or WhatsApps the property number.
  2. Bot checks dates / occupancy rules you share (scoped connector or sheet).
  3. Room hold + WhatsApp confirm with policies you approve.
  4. Pre-arrival Utility reminder; late-checkout / pickup requests queued for humans.
  5. Payment link or front-desk settle — bot does not take card data on voice casually.
  6. Angry guest or group booking → warm handoff with transcript.

FAQ — Hotels & Homestays

Does Vocora replace my hotel front desk?

No. Vocora answers overflow, missed, and after-hours calls on your published number and handles WhatsApp booking or qualification so humans can focus on walk-ins and complex decisions.

Will it work on our existing phone number?

Yes. Voice AI sits on the number you already publish on Google, Justdial, Meta ads, or your board. Customers do not dial a separate robot number.

Can it speak Hindi, English, and Hinglish?

Yes. English, Hindi, and Hinglish are day-one languages. Exact greeting, escalation rules, and phrases are set in your script workshop before go-live.

Is WhatsApp AI live?

Yes. WhatsApp AI and Voice AI are both live on Vocora. Templates, shared inbox, and voice ↔ chat handoffs are scoped in the demo for your vertical.

Do you integrate with our CRM or booking software?

CRM / Google Sheet / email write-back is part of the Voice desk. Deeper industry connectors are scoped in the demo — we do not claim universal one-click magic.

How much does it cost?

Pilots are scoped after a free 15-minute demo. We do not publish a fake rate card. See our AI receptionist cost guide for how Indian voice offerings are typically framed in the market.

How do I book a demo?

Can it take card payments on the call?

Payment is handled via your approved link or front desk. We do not treat Vocora as a PCI voice checkout — scoped carefully in the demo.
