We help your hotel show up in AI answers.

When travellers ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Google where to stay, we make sure your hotel is part of the answer. Then we turn that attention into direct bookings, so you keep the commission you'd otherwise pay an OTA.

Watch: how AI assistants choose hotels (1 min)

Read the transcript

Travellers are changing how they book your hotel. Now they open ChatGPT or Gemini and ask where to stay. They get a short list of named hotels, and they pick from it. In India, 86% of travellers are using AI tools to plan their trips. If your hotel isn't in that answer, it never gets considered.

At HostOS, we help your hotel show up in AI answers on ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude. It starts with a free five-minute check: who AI recommends today, who took your spot, and what to fix first. Then we do the work, so AI can find, understand and trust your hotel.

When guests find you, they book on your own site. More direct bookings, with no OTA commission. On a ₹6,000 night, you receive ₹5,880 instead of ₹4,800 through an OTA. Move just 15% of your OTA bookings, and the 20-room hotel keeps about ₹5 lakh more every year.

Every month, a report shows how often AI names you and how many bookings came direct. Be the hotel AI recommends. Book your free check at hostos.online.

How guests choose a hotel now

Travellers don't scroll through OTA listings the way they used to. They ask an AI tool like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Claude something like "best boutique hotel with a lake view", get a short list of named hotels, check the reviews, and then book. Often on an OTA. Not because they prefer it, but because it's the easy option and your own website wasn't.

Every one of those bookings costs you commission, commonly 15 to 25% depending on the OTA and your contract, plus GST on top. And if your hotel isn't set up the way AI tools read the internet, you don't even make that short list. A competitor does.

Get more direct bookings. Keep the OTA commission.

Every booking that comes through an OTA commonly costs you 15 to 25% in commission, plus GST on top. Guests who have already chosen your hotel shouldn't cost you that. We help more of them book on your own website.

Commission rates vary by OTA and contract; see how OTA commission works in India for the sources.

How it works

Tap a step to see what happens.

  1. We look at how often you're mentioned, how you rank against nearby hotels, which websites AI relies on, and anything it gets wrong about your hotel.

  2. You see exactly what we'll do, in what order, and what we'll measure. No commission, and no surprises.

  3. Website fixes, listings, content, social and ads, depending on the services you choose.

  4. What we track: how often AI mentions you, your share of voice against nearby hotels, which websites cite you, what AI gets right or wrong about you, traffic from AI and search, and your share of direct bookings.

Questions hotel owners ask

What is AEO?

Answer engine optimization means making your hotel easy for AI assistants to find, understand and trust, so they mention it when travellers ask for recommendations. It builds on SEO.

Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend my hotel?

No one can. We improve the things AI relies on and measure the change every month against your starting point.

How long does it take to see results?

Website and listing fixes start working quickly. AI visibility usually builds over months, not weeks. We show progress every month.

Do you take a commission on bookings?

No. A one-time setup and a fixed monthly retainer. No commission, ever.

We already have an agency. Can we still work with you?

Yes. We often work alongside a hotel's existing web developer or social media agency.
