Ask every guest, politely and honestly
Most satisfied guests never leave a review simply because nobody asked. A short, friendly message on the day of check-out is often all it takes. This free review request message generator writes three ready-to-send versions for WhatsApp, SMS, email or a printed card, for Google, Booking.com, TripAdvisor, MakeMyTrip, Agoda or Airbnb.
Stay within platform rules
Every major platform has rules on how you may ask for reviews. Breaking them can get reviews removed or your listing penalised. The messages from this tool follow these principles:
- No incentives. Do not offer discounts, free breakfast, upgrades, cashback or gifts in return for a review.
- No review gating. Ask every guest, not only those you think are happy. Google specifically prohibits selectively asking for positive reviews.
- No pressure on the rating. Ask for an honest review, never for "5 stars".
- No staff reviews. Owners, staff and their families must not review the property.
Timing and channel
- WhatsApp works best in India. Send within a few hours of check-out, while the stay is fresh, and send only to guests who gave you their number.
- SMS is short; keep it under 160 characters with a short link.
- Email suits corporate and international guests. One reminder after three or four days is enough.
- Printed cards at the front desk or in the room work well with a QR code. Make one with our Google review QR code generator.
OTA reviews are a little different
Booking.com, Agoda, MakeMyTrip and Airbnb only accept reviews from guests who booked through them, and they send their own review invitation after check-out. Your message should simply remind the guest to look out for it. On Airbnb, guests have 14 days after check-out to write a review.
When reviews come in, reply to each one. Our review reply generator drafts polite responses, and the hotel WhatsApp message templates cover the rest of the guest journey.
Frequently asked questions
Is it allowed to ask guests for a Google review?
Yes. Google allows businesses to ask customers for reviews. It does not allow incentives, asking only happy customers, or reviews from staff or owners.
When is the best time to ask a hotel guest for a review?
Within a few hours of check-out works best, while the stay is still fresh. One polite reminder after three or four days is fine; more than that can annoy guests.
Can I give a discount on the next stay for a review?
No. Google, Booking.com, TripAdvisor and other platforms prohibit any incentive for reviews, including discounts, upgrades or gifts. You can offer a returning-guest discount to everyone, unconnected to reviews.
