        According to research, the average response rate of hotels to online reviews - regardless of type or location - is only about 40%. Despite the growing importance of reviews in the booking process, many accommodation owners still lag in maintaining an active online presence. One main reason for this is the time-consuming nature of crafting thoughtful, professional responses to guest reviews.

        Data from an international study by Ipsos MORI involving over 23,000 travelers and restaurant guests shows that 63% of respondents are more likely to book a hotel or dining venue if the owner regularly responds to most reviews. Moreover, as many as 77% of Tripadvisor users declare a higher likelihood to book at a property whose owner sends personalized responses.

        A study published by Harvard Business Review confirms that the longer we wait to respond to a potential customer, the lower our chances of acquiring them. Analyses show that the likelihood of successfully qualifying a lead drops by as much as 400% if the response time increases from 5 to 10 minutes. Despite such significant differences, only 1% respond to inquiries in less than 5 minutes. This shows the great potential in quick reactions and the importance of continuously optimizing response time to potential customer contact.

        Analysis of over 5000 listings in the hospitality industry shows that the facility's response time significantly influences ad effectiveness. Facilities responding in more than an hour had an average conversion rate of 0.8%. Responding within an hour raised the rate to 1%, meaning 25% more bookings. Quick response can therefore really increase the chance of booking.
