What is Smart Host GmbH?
Founded in 2017 | Headquarters in Berlin (Germany) | 23 employees
Smart Host Messaging is a sophisticated communication management system specifically designed for the hospitality industry. It allows hoteliers to manage and streamline all guest communications through a single platform. By integrating closely with existing Property Management Systems (PMS), Smart Host Messaging ensures that no inquiry or conversation is ever lost, providing a comprehensive, unified view of all guest interactions.
The platform is highly customizable, enabling hotels to craft targeted newsletter campaigns that are personalized for each guest. This precise targeting leads to higher engagement, increased bookings, and improved guest satisfaction. Additionally, Smart Host Messaging gathers detailed guest analytics, offering hoteliers invaluable insights into guest preferences and behaviors, which can be used to tailor marketing efforts and optimize service delivery.
One of the key advantages of Smart Host Messaging is its intuitive interface, which simplifies the communication process for hotel staff, allowing them to respond more quickly and efficiently to guest inquiries. This enhanced responsiveness leads to improved customer satisfaction and potentially higher guest retention rates.
Moreover, the platform supports seamless data integration, ensuring all guest information is precisely synchronized with the hotel's PMS. While there have been requests for even more advanced features and customization options, the overall feedback highlights the platform’s capability to significantly enhance marketing efforts and streamline operations.
In summary, Smart Host Messaging offers an elegant solution to manage and optimize guest communication, making it a valuable addition to any hotel’s suite of management tools. Simple, automated, and profitable, it helps hotels focus on providing exceptional guest experiences while boosting operational efficiency.

"We have been working with Smart Host for some time now and are extremely happy that we chose the system. This was the best decision. Our newsletters all look top "styled" and do little work. It simplifies a lot. The filtering works fantastic and is super useful for many other things as well. We would recommend it to anyone."

"We use Smart Host for newsletter distribution, which we control according to target groups. Super simple! So the guest gets the information he is interested in."

"The planning of the newsletters is really very well organized and a very big help for us. In general, we find that SmartHost approaches their customers and takes care of them very well."
Familie Hofer
Wiesenhof Garden Resort
"We started with the campaign module years ago. It is so clear and simple that an extension to the offer manager was only logical. I would especially like to emphasize the extremely nice AND competent team around Julian Leitner. I can only recommend Smart Host across the board."
Andrea Kogler
Owner @
Hotel Kogler
"This is exactly how a newsletter program should be! Super easy to use - clear & logical. The selection is suggested by an algorithm and works flawlessly, so Smart Host relieves us of the most difficult part of sending newsletters. The interface to our hotel program allows transparency and the success is easily measurable. In addition, the customer service is very helpful! All questions and concerns are quickly addressed. In short - our expectations were exceeded!"
Alise P.
Hotel Post Ischgl
"Smart Host has really grown on us. This tool enables us to make our day-to-day work much easier with the offer manager. Newsletters alone were old fashioned, now it's the Smart Host campaigns that help us pick up the guest where their interest lies and give us an overview of what success the campaign is having in the first place."

"For our hotel, Smart Host is an optimal relief for our employees in terms of correspondence with guests. In addition, a super contemporary sales tool for newsletter planning and design."
Gerhard Huber
Inhaber @
Concordia Wellnesshotel & Spa
"The arrival mailing is very good, because the guests can easily announce their wishes. For every change, the team is with the utmost care and fast implementation on my side. The review page is also top. If someone was not so happy, we can react immediately and the guest does not post it immediately on all online platforms. In times of Holiday Check and Co. a great advantage! I can only recommend the system."

Inhaberin @
Ratscher Landhaus Wein- und Genusshotel
"The newsletter planning is really a great tool with which you can advertise at the right time for the right period. You can send a lot of newsletters without being a annoyance, because the filtering works great and there is never a risk that guests get something twice or worse get a newsletter with a better price than the one they already have."
Mara Theiner
Manager @
Hotel Weisses Kreuz
"I have rarely experienced such friendly and competent support. Easy and understandable handling of the product. Everything is set up in such a way that you can use it without a lot of prior knowledge. You can send targeted newsletters and we have received an enormous increase in additional sales by sending pre-stay mails and learn a lot about our guests in advance, e.g. why the guest books with us. For us, this means that we can also provide the guest with specific information about his or her interests in advance."
