Guest experience

Guest messaging and online check-in, done well

Guests increasingly expect to handle the small stuff themselves. Meeting that expectation also lightens your front desk.

The modern guest has booked a flight, ordered dinner and paid a bill from their phone before they reach you. A stay that requires a paper form at a desk feels out of step. Good self-service isn't impersonal — done well, it frees your team to be more personal where it counts.

Let guests check in before they arrive

Online check-in collects the details you need and an arrival time, so the desk isn't typing while a tired traveller waits. It also surfaces issues — a delayed flight, a special request — while you can still act on them.

Keep messages in one thread

Guest questions arrive by email, OTA inbox, WhatsApp and the front desk. Scattering them across apps means slow, repeated answers. A single thread per booking means anyone on shift can pick up the conversation with full context.

  • Confirm bookings instantly and answer pre-arrival questions in one place.
  • Let guests request services and upgrades themselves.
  • Send the invoice digitally — no printer required.

mndra's guest portal gives every booking online check-in, two-way messaging, service requests and a downloadable invoice — all tied to the reservation your team already sees.
