Answers every guest question, instantly
WiFi codes, breakfast times, parking, directions, late checkout. The questions that eat a front desk's day arrive at 2am and get answered at 2am, in the guest's own language.
For hotels, hostels and serviced apartments
AI Receptionist for Hotels
Your receptionist is tired. Ours is immortal. Timo answers guest questions on WhatsApp, phone and email 24/7, guides check-in, routes requests to your team, and sells the upgrade at the moment it converts.
Every unanswered message is a booking, a review, or an upsell
Guests ask at midnight. They ask in a language nobody on the night shift speaks. They ask the same eleven questions, over and over, while your team is checking someone in. A slow reply does not just annoy one guest: it shows up in your OTA score, and your OTA score decides who ever sees you.
What an AI receptionist actually does
Not a chatbot with a menu. A colleague that works the whole guest journey and knows when to fetch a human.
Works on the channels guests already use
WhatsApp, phone and email, with one shared memory. A guest who messages on WhatsApp and calls the next day does not have to explain themselves twice.
Sells the upgrade at the moment it converts
Early check-in, late checkout, parking, room upgrades. Offered when the guest is actually deciding, not in a batch email nobody opens.
Escalates to a human when it should
A complaint, an unusual request, anything with real stakes: Timo hands it to your team with the full conversation attached. It absorbs the volume, not the judgement.
It covers the whole stay
From the question they ask before booking to the review they leave after checkout.

Sends check-in instructions, offers early check-in, parking, and transfers in the guest's language.
Welcome
Greets guests on WhatsApp/SMS with property info, WiFi, and directions.
Digital Check-In

It plugs into the PMS you already run
Timo is live with Mews today and is PMS-agnostic by design, with further integrations in progress. Most properties are running a first version in about two weeks: connect the PMS, agree the FAQs and tasks, test in safe mode, then switch on 24/7 coverage. No rip-and-replace.
Questions hotel managers ask us

No. Timo gives your receptionists superpowers by taking over repetitive questions and simple requests, so your team can focus on complex situations, VIP guests, and real hospitality.
