Nora · The Harbour Hotel (demo)Active call · Saturday, 23:10
Nora
Welcome to The Harbour Hotel (demo). You're speaking with Nora. How can I help you?
Guest
Hi, do you have a double room from the 12th to the 14th next month?
Nora
One moment — yes, there is a double room free for those two nights. Are you two adults, and are there any special wishes, for example a sea view or breakfast?
Guest
Two adults, and breakfast please. We'll arrive late the first evening, probably after 22:00.
Nora
Thank you, I'll note that — late arrival is no problem, you'll be told how to get in. May I have a name and phone number for the reservation?
Guest
Henrik Bang, 40 50 60 70.
Nora
Thank you, Henrik. The double room from the 12th to the 14th with breakfast is reserved for you. You'll get an SMS — confirm there, and the reservation is yours.

🔍 The challenges

What the phone costs a hotel or a B&B

Five situations from reception — and what Nora does about them.

Guests call when reception is closed

A small hotel or a B&B has no staffed reception at night, but guests plan in the evening and call from other time zones. An unanswered call is a reservation that lands on a booking portal — with a fee.

✓ Nora answers around the clock and takes the reservation or sends it to reception by your rules.

Guests in many languages

German, Dutch and Norwegian guests call and expect to be understood. When the receptionist does not speak the language, the conversation becomes short and uncertain, and the guest books somewhere else where they felt welcome.

✓ Nora answers in the guest's language and switches by herself when the guest does.

Enquiries without dates and numbers

"Do you have anything free in summer?" cannot be answered without dates, number of guests and wishes. If it is not asked in the first call, an email or two goes back and forth — and meanwhile the guest has booked next door.

✓ Nora asks about dates, numbers, room type and wishes before she answers or passes it on.

The same questions about check-in

When can we check in, is there parking, where do we get the key, is breakfast included? It is the same ten questions every day, and they take reception's time from the guests standing at the desk.

✓ Nora answers about check-in, parking and practical questions from your information.

Late arrival and changed plans

The guest is delayed, arrives at midnight and wants to know how to get in. Or they want to change a night. If the message is not taken, the guest stands in front of a locked door — and reception only hears about it the next morning.

✓ Nora takes messages about late arrival and changes and sends them to reception straight away.

📞 The process

How Nora answers the phone in your reception

Nora knows your rooms, your check-in times and your rules for reservations — and she speaks the guest's language.

Nora learns the hotel

At setup you tell us about rooms and types, check-in and check-out, parking, breakfast, how late arrival is handled, and whether Nora should book herself or send enquiries to reception. She gets your information and your rules.

She takes the call

Nora asks about dates, numbers, room type and wishes, checks your calendar and books or sends the enquiry to reception by your rules. Practical questions are answered from your information. The guest gets an SMS confirmation.

Reception sees everything when it opens

Reservations sit in the calendar, enquiries and messages about late arrival in your back office. If a guest wants to speak to reception now, Nora passes the call on by your rules — also at night, if you have someone on call.

Questions from hotels and B&Bs

Can Nora tell whether there are rooms available?

She answers from what you have put in the calendar and takes the reservation enquiry with dates, numbers, room type and wishes. If there is no room, she says so honestly and notes what the guest asked for. If there is room, she books or sends the enquiry to reception — exactly as you have asked.

Can Nora answer questions about check-in, parking and breakfast?

Yes, from your own information. Arrival times, keys, parking and when breakfast is served she answers precisely as you have phrased it. If a question comes up that you have not given her the answer to, she does not guess — she takes a message that reception sees straight away.

Which languages can guests call in?

Nora speaks over 30 languages and switches by herself when the guest does. A guest calling from abroad the evening before arrival can ask about late check-in in their own language and get the answer straight away. Reception does not need to set anything up — she hears the language in the first sentence.

Does Nora book in reception's own calendar system?

Nora books directly in your Google Calendar today, so the reservation sits where reception already looks. More integrations are being worked on — mention your system at the demo and we will say how far we are. If you would rather have the enquiries as messages for reception, we set her up that way.
