Katrin Kraske, the Guest Relations Manager at Leonardo Hotels Cluster East, was grappling with the challenge of an ever-increasing volume of guest feedback across their growing hotel chain. As the hotels expanded, so did the number of reviews and the task of responding individually to each guest became increasingly unmanageable. Despite this, Katrin and her team were committed to ensuring every guest had a positive experience, even after their departure.
By leveraging MARA's AI-powered reputation management solution, Leonardo Hotels Cluster East was able to streamline their review management process and increase their response rate significantly. This change enabled the team to focus on improving guest services while ensuring that all feedback received prompt and thoughtful attention.
