What is RUNNR.ai?
Founded in 2022 | Headquarters in Utrecht (Netherlands) | 3 employees
RUNNR.ai is a virtual hotel concierge platform that enhances guest engagement by automating communication and tasks through AI and integrations. By connecting with guests on WhatsApp and SMS from post-reservation to post-check-out, RUNNR.ai streamlines operations and elevates the guest experience. It handles repetitive tasks like upsells and housekeeping requests, seamlessly integrating with existing systems and platforms like booking.com and Airbnb. This unified approach is tailored for the hospitality industry, resulting in improved guest satisfaction, operational efficiency, and increased upsell revenues for businesses.
Powered by AI
This description was generated by AI which analyzed the following sources to summarize a description of RUNNR.ai products, features and capabilities. Leveraging user generated verified data sources allows us to generate a more helpful and realistic description for hoteliers free of sales promotion and hyperbole.
Sources
Verified hotelier reviews
We analyze all verified product reviews as a way to understand and summarize what real users/hoteliers are saying about the product to provide a more accurate and relevant description for buyers than only what vendors provide.
We analyze recommendations from industry experts who we ask to describe the most valuable features and capabilities of the product as well as key differentiators and what types of hotels the product works best for to extract unique insights and perspective for buyers.
While its important to incorporate analysis from verified user reviews and industry experts to create more balanced content, the way a vendor describes their overall company and vision can also shed light on their unique perspective or way of doing business which is why the AI ingests this information as well to add more context to paint a picture of what the company says vs what users and industry experts say.

We love how Runnr.ai automatically handles repetitive guest questions, giving our reception team more time for personal service. It’s like having an extra team member available 24/7. It saves both our guests and staff a lot of frustration, and from a financial perspective, it’s a win too – saving time and opening up upselling opportunities.
What do you dislike or think could be improved?
It would be great to have more flexibility (within a specific date range) when answering specific questions about opening hours (for example, the reception or swimming pool) on certain day (e.g., weekends and during holidays)
Adding upselling opportunities at the room level, ideally integrated with our PMS system (MEWS), would further enhance its usefulness.
Content improvement could be enhanced, as the system often receives the same questions repeatedly.

Previously, guests were dependent on staff availability, but that is now a thing of the past. With Runnr.ai, guests receive an immediate response whenever they have a question. The automated response is also delivered in a human and personal manner, so that many guests do not even realize that they are communicating with AI. It has become an indispensable addition for us and lightens the workload of our front office staff.
What do you dislike or think could be improved?
In addition to WhatsApp, a broader range of communication services would be a valuable addition, as WhatsApp is not a common communication channel in every part of the world. SMS is actually a channel that everyone has, even if it is no longer top of mind for everyone.

Many questions are handled quickly and accurately by Runnr, our guests get the answers they are looking for, and we can spend our time on other guest-related activities. If the question cannot be answered automatically, we can easily step in.

By using RUNRR.ai we managed to improve the guest satisfaction substantially and especially the easy set up and flexibility from the company makes working with them a real pleasure. The fact that we are saving on own FTE's and still able to connect with our guests and provide them with the best information possible is a real step forward in the whole guest journey. My team managed to reply quicker and in more detail the moment the conversation was moved from AI to the team. This also makes a big difference for the guests and moreover for our guests. Worth to mention is the fact that we did not receive any single complain that the answers where AI created, which was one of my major worries from the beginning. I can truly recommend any hotel to start the process of working with RUNNR.ai in order to enhance the guest experience and maintain a proper cost control on the other hand.
What do you dislike or think could be improved?
In general, I believe that more awareness needs to be created in what AI can do for our guests. RUNRR.ai is a very good solution so it needs to be introduced to more and more companies. We had some issues with the connectivity into our large corporate framework. It might be good to see how these issues can be solved in the long run. I believe when it is possible to show that there is no danger into sharing that it is much easier to implement with various chains as well.

Your FAQ are answered in no time. Smooth and easy communications between guest and hotel make our reception team focus on what's important. The use of Whatsapp and Booking chat make RUNNR.ai easy to use for guests.
What do you dislike or think could be improved?
Expanding of integrations tools between RUNNR.ai and PMS. The more RUNNR.ai could provide within our PMS, the more time our reception staff is freeing up. They are taking this step by step and have improved already after 15 months of using.

RUNNR gives us an additional way to connect with our guests, allowing them to easily ask questions about their arrival and stay. Because many of the questions are automated, this also reduces the workload for our reception desk.
What do you dislike or think could be improved?
The system should also make it clear when the reception is closed or inaccessible, such as at night or during holiday periods.

Quick responses from support and service. Good developments in improvements and with a sense of what is needed in the business. Relieves staff the time to answer standard questions and focus on what is specifically needed for guests. Overall we have around 1,500 messages per month by ai and follow up on aprox 60 or so which need a personal solution.
What do you dislike or think could be improved?
We like the application and it would be nice to be able to use for event management as well, as this is a timesaver for both guests and business.

Runnr AI has taken a lot of work off our hands when handling guest requests. The system ensures fast and efficient communication, which is clearly appreciated by our guests and also saves our reception team a lot of time. It is also nice that we have direct contact with the Runnr team to further optimize things.
What do you dislike or think could be improved?
What could be improved is how the system handles feedback. Despite the fact that we have raised improvements, an error sometimes keeps coming back. For example, the system does not always recognize a request from a guest, which means that it does not reach the reception. This can certainly be improved.

Working with Runner has been a great experience from the start. Their team truly understands how to make work easier — they focus on getting things done, not overcomplicating them. The platform fits smoothly into everyday tools like Slack and Google Workspace, making collaboration effortless for everyone involved.
What really stands out is how genuine, responsive, and easy to work with the Runner team is. They listen, adapt quickly, and always look for ways to add value.
I’d confidently recommend Runner to any business looking for reliable, easy-to-use software that helps teams work smarter and save time. It’s a solid product built by people who care about real results.

The personal touch makes it feel very service-oriented. You can request the information you need and you get your answer immediately sent to you. Also the combination between sending the mobile key and all the information you need as a guest makes the whole check-in process very easy and fast. This allows the guest to enjoy his/her stay and take advantage of all the services a location has to offer. Nothing is more irritating than spending a long time waiting at a reception desk for assistance and filling out a whole check-in form.

What sets Runnr.ai apart from its competitors is its ability to communicate with guests on multiple channels, including WhatsApp, Website chat widget, and Booking.com.

Question:
Based on your experience with this product or service, if you could give one piece of advice to a hotelier considering this product or service, what would it be?
Answer:
Make sure you define your tone, key upsell offers and multilingual workflows up front — the tech automates brilliantly, but your brand voice and regional setup will determine how well you scale and engage across markets. And by the way: this isn’t a nice-to-have anymore. Guests are already used to instant messaging and seamless digital service, so integrating this kind of solution is becoming table stakes if you want your hotel to stay future-proof
