Telegram bot for hotels

Telegram Bot for Hotels: One Channel for Guests and Your Team

A Telegram bot for hotels that runs on your data: Greetio answers guests from your rooms, rates and policies, checks live availability and helps them book direct. Your team gets the other half — task notifications and a staff bot in the same messenger, in one inbox next to WhatsApp and Instagram.

  • Answers from your hotel data
  • Staff tasks in Telegram — no extra app

Where Telegram matters for hotels

For guests from Ukraine, CEE and the CIS, Telegram is often the first messenger — and the hotel’s least managed channel.

Your guests live in Telegram — your hotel doesn’t

For travellers from Ukraine, Moldova, Kazakhstan and much of CEE, Telegram is the default place to ask about prices, parking and late arrival. If nobody answers there, the booking goes to whoever does.

Enquiries land in a personal account nobody owns

Guests message the owner’s or an administrator’s personal Telegram. When that person is off shift, on holiday or gone, the chat history — and the repeat guests inside it — goes too.

Messenger speed is the expectation

A guest writing at 23:40 about late check-in expects an answer in minutes, not at 9:00. In Telegram, the slowest reply usually loses the booking.

Staff coordination drowns in group chats

"Room 12 needs towels" gets posted to a staff group, scrolls off screen and is forgotten. No assignee, no status, no history.

How the hotel Telegram chatbot works

From connecting a bot to answered guests — a guided onboarding, no developers.

  1. 1

    Connect your hotel’s Telegram bot

    Create a bot for your property and plug it into Greetio — no coding. WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, Viber and website chat can join the same inbox.

  2. 2

    Load your hotel’s knowledge

    Start from 45 typical hotel questions or import rooms and descriptions from your website or Booking.com listing. Rates, policies and services become the source of every answer.

  3. 3

    The AI replies by confidence

    Confident answers go out automatically, uncertain ones become drafts, and money questions or missing data escalate to a person. You choose the autopilot mode and thresholds.

  4. 4

    Chats become bookings and tasks

    The bot checks live availability, walks the guest to a tentative booking your manager confirms, and turns requests into tasks for housekeeping, reception or maintenance.

AI answers, bookings and room photos — in Telegram

Beyond auto-replies: from question to reservation, with your team in the loop.

A concierge that answers from your data

Check-in hours, parking, pets, breakfast, cancellation terms — answered from your knowledge base around the clock. Prices are verified against your rates, so the bot never invents a number.

A hotel booking bot inside Telegram

The AI checks real availability from your PMS sync (Servio, OtelMS, Fidelio) or Greetio’s built-in calendar, offers rooms that actually exist and creates a tentative reservation your manager confirms with a payment link.

Room photos on request

"Can I see the room first?" gets an actual photo of the room type from your media, right in the Telegram chat.

Replies in the guest’s language

The AI detects the guest’s language and answers in it — 13+ languages, with a guard against mixing them mid-conversation.

A Telegram bot for your hotel staff, too

Housekeeping, reception and maintenance get task notifications and work from a staff bot: see the list, take a task, mark it done — no separate app. Auto-assignment respects shifts; the full workflow lives on our hotel task management page.

One inbox for every channel

Guest communication via Telegram lands in the same inbox as WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, Viber and website chat — one guest profile across channels, internal notes, quick replies and full-text search.

Greetio vs a DIY Telegram bot

Constructors give you buttons. A hotel needs answers, bookings and follow-through.

23:40 in Telegram: parking and a late arrival

The question arrives right after the front desk quiets down.

Hi! We land late tomorrow — we’d reach the hotel around 23:40. Is check-in still possible, and do you have parking?
Yes — late check-in is possible until 1:00, I’ll let the night shift know. Courtyard parking is €7 per night, entrance from the side street. Shall I note your arrival time?
Yes please. The car is a grey Škoda.
Noted — the night shift will expect you around 23:40, parking note passed along. Breakfast runs 7:00–10:30, so you can sleep in. Safe travels!
  • Late check-in task with the arrival time assigned to the night shift
  • Parking request logged for reception with the guest’s note
  • Conversation and guest profile saved in the shared inbox

Illustrative conversation. The AI answers only from your hotel’s data — if something isn’t in the knowledge base, it hands the chat to your team instead of guessing.

Built for hotels whose guests live in Telegram

Greetio is a working product in daily operations: hotels, apart-hotels and hostels close most repetitive Telegram questions without the front desk, while teams run tasks from the same messenger.

  • Most repetitive guest questions answered without the front desk
  • Money and refund topics always escalate to a person
  • Staff work from Telegram — nothing new to install
Most of our guests write in Telegram, usually in the evening. They get an instant answer from our own rates and rules, and housekeeping picks up tasks in the same messenger — nobody installed anything new.

Telegram bot for hotels — frequently asked questions

Yes. The bot recognises booking intent, checks live availability for the dates, offers real rooms with current prices and collects the guest’s name, phone and email. It creates a tentative reservation; your manager confirms it and sends a payment link. Money questions are always handled by a person.

No. Your hotel gets its own bot inside the Telegram app guests already use daily. They open it from a link on your website, a QR code at reception or Telegram search, and the conversation stays in their usual chat list — no downloads, no new accounts.

When a guest asks for towels or reports a broken AC, the AI proposes a task with department, room number and priority. Staff get a Telegram notification and work from a dedicated staff bot — no separate app, and assignment respects shifts. Details are on the hotel task management page.

No — Telegram doesn’t charge for creating a bot or for guest conversations. Your only cost is the platform: Greetio plans start at €149 per month and include Telegram, the other channels, the AI inbox and knowledge base. Details are on the pricing page.

The AI detects each guest’s language and replies in it — Ukrainian, English, German, Polish, French, Spanish and more, 13+ in total, with a guard that keeps a conversation from drifting between languages. A guest from Kyiv and one from Berlin can each write in their own language.

It doesn’t improvise. Low-confidence replies become drafts for your team, and questions with no data behind them go to a person. Greetio also collects unanswered questions, clusters them and suggests ready-to-approve knowledge base articles — so the bot answers the next guest itself.

Yes. Guests from Ukraine and much of CEE default to Telegram or Viber; Western European travellers often prefer WhatsApp. Greetio keeps all of them — plus Instagram, Facebook Messenger and website chat — in one inbox and merges the same guest across channels into a single profile.
