Built for
The problem

Unanswered reviews are costing you owners, not just bookings.

7%
of reviews answered — a Brisbane operator we audited
~53%
the average of the competitors around them
Nobody plans for that. It happens because reviews are everyone’s job and no one’s job — the software drafts a reply, nobody sends it, and the next changeover is always more urgent. Guests read the silence. So do the property owners deciding whether to renew with you. Source: Helexian review audit, July 2026 — Booking.com response rates, operator anonymised
The 4.0★ filter

Under 4.0, you’re invisible.

Guests filter accommodation to “4+ stars” on Google, Booking.com, Expedia and Airbnb — it’s the default cut-off the platforms offer. Under that line a property is silently dropped from the shortlist before anyone reads a word about it. In one Brisbane portfolio we audited, five of the six listings with a real review presence sat under 4.0 — two of them at 3.9, one sustained run of answered reviews away from re-entering the filters.

Every 0.1★ moves money

Ratings price your rooms.

The most-cited study in hospitality (Cornell, 9,500+ hotels) found a one-point lift on a five-point scale lets a property raise rates about 11% without losing occupancy — roughly 1.1% of room revenue per 0.1★. For a mid-size operation that’s in the order of A$50,000–A$110,000 a year per 0.1★. Illustrative — your Health Check runs it on your own numbers.

Replying works — and it’s rare

The bar is low. Clear it.

In that same audit, ~2,060 reviews sat unanswered across one operator’s portfolio — zero owner replies on the 86 most recent, across every listing. Meanwhile a competitor on the same street answers about 70% of theirs, including the angry ones, usually within days. No operator we scanned does it consistently on every platform. That consistency is the whole opportunity.

What you get

We run your review desk. You get the credit.

Monitoring, nothing missed

Every review across Booking.com, Google and Airbnb (other platforms on request). Nothing slips through the cracks between changeovers.

Responses in your voice

You set the tone and approval rules once. We draft and publish within 24–48 hours. Done with you, not to you.

Same-day alerts on bad reviews

A heads-up the day it lands, with a suggested way to handle it. We’re not lawyers — if a dispute needs a professional, we’ll say so plainly.

Benchmarked, not guessed

Your response rate and ratings tracked against the operators around you every month — the same method as the free Health Check.

The monthly Owner Report — one per property

It’s the page you hand your owners at renewal time. Software can aggregate reviews for a few dollars a month; it can’t answer them properly every day and turn the results into something that keeps your owners with you.

  • Rating trend on every platform, and distance to the 4.0★ filter line
  • Response rate vs named competitors nearby
  • Hot topics — the themes guests keep raising, with their actual words
  • A recommended fix for each top theme (“three guests flagged slow check-in — here’s the cheapest way to kill it”)
  • Every reply we published on your behalf, logged
  • What the current rating is costing, in dollars, on your own occupancy and rates
Pricing — published, deliberately

Straight prices. Month to month. No quote dance.

At 50 listings, Full Service works out around A$16 per listing per month. The big reputation platforms charge several hundred dollars per location — and most don’t touch Airbnb or Booking.com guest reviews at all. We count listings with a live review presence, not your door count — buildings whose reviews pool into one listing count once.
