Guesthouses & Lodges · WhatsApp Automation

WhatsApp automation for guesthouses and lodges.

Direct bookings, guest comms and check-in details — automated on WhatsApp so you can run a hospitality business, not a switchboard.

Guesthouses and lodges team using WhatsApp automation in South Africa

Every direct booking saves you 15% on OTA commission, but only if someone replies fast. Otomate handles enquiries, sends quotes, confirms bookings, takes deposits and runs check-in instructions on WhatsApp — for properties from a single B&B to a multi-lodge group.

Example scenario

A direct enquiry at 11pm

A guest WhatsApps your guesthouse at 23:10 asking about availability for the long weekend. Otomate quotes them, holds the room for 12 hours, takes a 50% deposit when they confirm, sends directions and check-in instructions, and triggers your housekeeping list — without you opening your phone until breakfast.

Questions, answered.
