Response AI writes a reply to a guest review in your hotel’s voice, ready for you to copy to the platform where the review was posted.
It writes; it does not send. There is no publish button on this screen — the reply itself is marked not posted yet. A reply leaves this screen only by being copied, so a person puts it on the platform.

What is on the screen

One column, one thing at a time: first the form, then — once you ask for a reply — Your reply in its place.

The form

You paste the review in yourself, so this works for a review from anywhere — not only the ones already in your Inbox: Above the button, you choose how the reply is written: Generate reply stays unavailable until the review is pasted and a score is picked; the line under the button says which one is missing.

Your reply

From the moment you select Generate reply, the page has one subject: the reply.
  • The review you are answering folds into one line at the top, with Edit beside it. Tap the line to read the whole review.
  • The reply, shown as it will look once posted: your hotel’s name above it, marked not posted yet. Click into the text to change it.
  • Written in — the language of the reply. Pick another and the reply is rewritten in it. If Star could not confirm the language, the card says so.
  • Read once more before you post — appears when there is something to check before posting, and names each one: a room number in the reply, for example.
  • Tone — tap another tone and the reply is rewritten. A Quick reply has no tone: its tones cannot be tapped, and a line says so. To choose one, select Edit, pick Context-aware and generate again.
  • Copy reply, and Copy & open followed by the platform’s name. Reset appears once you change the text by hand.
At the top of the page: New review clears the page for the next review, Back to reply appears while you are editing the review, and History is always there.

History

History opens Recent replies: the latest replies written for your hotel, newest first, each with its platform, stars, the guest’s name and the first words of the review and the reply. Tap one to bring it back to the page. When there are more than the list holds, See every reply opens Response History.

What you do here

1

Paste the review and say where it was posted

Paste the guest’s words into The guest’s review, choose the platform under Posted on, and give The guest’s score as the platform shows it.
2

Add what the review cannot tell

Neither mode can be relied on for something that happened this week — the lift being fixed last Tuesday. That goes in Instructions for this reply.
3

Choose a reply mode

A short thank-you for a happy guest does not need your hotel’s knowledge. A complaint that has to be answered accurately does — use Context-aware there.
4

Select Generate reply, then read it as the guest would

Change a word by clicking into the text. If the voice of a Context-aware reply is wrong, tap another Tone rather than editing sentence by sentence; if the language is wrong, pick one under Written in. Your Instructions for this reply carry over to the rewrite. When you have already changed the text by hand, the screen asks before a rewrite replaces it — Keep my edits or Rewrite.
5

Correct the review if you pasted it wrong

Select Edit on the review line. The form comes back with what you entered: correct it and select Generate reply again, or select Back to reply to return without writing a new one.
6

Copy it where it needs to go

Copy reply puts the text on your clipboard. Copy & open also opens that platform in a new tab — its sign-in page, or your own panel link once you add one under Reply panels in Guest Feedback settings. It is offered for the review platforms; on Otelpuan it needs your own panel link first. A Direct Complaint or Other reply is copied only. Paste the reply under the review.
Read every reply before it goes out. A Quick reply works from the review and what you typed; a Context-aware reply may also draw on what your hotel has written down. Neither is a substitute for knowing what happened at your hotel this week. The last read is yours.

What happens next

Nothing is posted from this screen. The reply reaches the guest only when you paste it on the platform yourself. Every reply written here — including each rewrite — is kept on Response History, and the latest are under History. What is kept is the reply as Star wrote it, not your changes by hand: copy an edited reply before you select New review or open another from History. To answer a review already in your inbox, go to the Inbox — replies to Google reviews are published from there.
