Bookings, guest inbox and follow-up for your boutique hotel.

Rabbithole is a San Juan firm that designs, builds and operates the automation behind boutique hotels in Puerto Rico: calls, the guest inbox, direct bookings, pre-arrival messages, review replies and follow-up after checkout. We build it around the tools you already use and run it for you on a monthly retainer.

The Problem

You already know where it slips.

It's not the rooms or the service. It's the calls, messages and follow-up that land on a small team at all hours.

01

Calls and messages when nobody is at the desk.

A guest calls from the airport at 11 PM. Someone emails about late checkout. If nobody answers, they book somewhere else or arrive frustrated.

02

The same guest questions, every day.

Parking, breakfast, check-in time, directions. Your staff answers them one at a time, by phone, email and every booking platform's inbox.

03

Direct bookings leak to the OTAs.

A visitor on your website with a question about rates or availability gets no answer, books through an OTA instead, and you pay the commission.

04

Reviews wait days for a reply.

Google, TripAdvisor, Booking.com, Airbnb. Answering each one with care takes time the front desk doesn't have.

The hard truth

Every unanswered call and every email that waits until Monday is a booking that can go somewhere else. Your team isn't the problem. The repetitive work never stops.

We don't sell software.
We build infrastructure.

Hotel software is a tool your staff has to learn and babysit. Infrastructure is the layer that sits on top of your hotel and does the work. Custom-built and operated end to end.

What We Build

What we build for boutique hotels.

We build what your hotel needs and skip what it doesn't.

01 · Phone & Front Desk

Every call answered.

  • An AI receptionist that answers 24/7, in English or Spanish
  • Answers from your own information: policies, amenities, check-in, directions
  • Hands the call to your staff when a person is needed
02 · Guest Inbox

One inbox for every channel.

  • Email, SMS and website messages routed to one place
  • Replies drafted in your hotel's voice
  • Urgent requests flagged for your team
03 · Direct Booking

Answer before the OTA does.

  • Bilingual booking chat on your website
  • Rates, availability, late checkout and local recommendations
  • Booking and intake flows that work at 2 AM
04 · Pre-arrival & Follow-up

Guests arrive knowing what to expect.

  • Pre-arrival messages at 7 days, 3 days and 24 hours
  • Parking, breakfast and check-in details, plus arrival confirmations
  • Follow-up after checkout, including the review request
05 · Reviews

Every review answered.

  • On-brand replies drafted for Google, TripAdvisor, Booking.com and Airbnb
  • Written in the reviewer's language
  • Low ratings and sensitive reviews come to you first
06 · Daily Briefing

A morning briefing.

  • A morning digest: arrivals, messages handled, reviews that need you
  • Alerts when something needs your attention
Demo · Mock data
Live Demo

Try the hotel system yourself.

Hotel Bahía Azul is a fictional hotel we built to show how the system works: the receptionist, the booking chat, review drafting and the pre-arrival messages. Every guest, booking and number in it is mock data. It is not a client.

How It Works

Three steps. Two to four weeks.

Running two to four weeks after kickoff, then a monthly retainer.

Step 01

Audit

We map how calls, emails, bookings and reviews move through your hotel today and find where guests and hours slip away.

3 days Included
Step 02

Build

We set up the receptionist, inbox, booking chat and guest messages around your hotel's own information and voice. Nothing for your staff to manage.

2 to 4 weeks Deployment
Step 03

Operate

We run, monitor and improve everything on a monthly retainer. If something breaks, we fix it.

Ongoing Retainer

Direct line to the founders

You talk to the people who build your system, not a junior account manager.

✓

Predictable pricing

A monthly retainer, plus a one-time setup fee where the scope calls for it. Month to month. No surprise invoices.

The Promise
Your business should run while you sleep. If it doesn't, you don't own it. It owns you.
That's the line we draw. Everything we build is in service of putting you on the right side of it.
FAQ

What hotel owners ask before we start.

Is this hotel software, like a CRM or a chatbot?

+

No. Software is a tool your staff has to learn, configure and maintain. We build the workflows around your hotel and operate them for you. You see the results, not another dashboard to manage.

Do we have to change our PMS or booking engine?

+

No. We build around the tools you already use and connect what can be connected. Which connections are possible depends on your systems, and we confirm that during the audit.

Does it work in English and Spanish?

+

Yes. The receptionist, the booking chat and the guest messages work in both languages, and review replies are written in the reviewer's language.

What happens when someone needs a real person?

+

It goes to a person. Every system we ship has escalation rules and a human in the loop where it matters, so a complaint, a special request or a bad review reaches you or your staff instead of getting an automatic answer.

How much does it cost?

+

It depends on scope. Some engagements are a flat monthly retainer that covers audit, build, deploy and operate. Others add a one-time setup fee for the build, plus the monthly retainer. Pricing is laid out before we start, with no surprise invoices. The retainer is month to month, with no long-term contract.

How fast can it be running?

+

Audit in three days, then your systems built and live in two to four weeks from kickoff. If we're not running in your business within 30 days of kickoff, you don't pay your second month.

Where are you based?

+

San Juan, Puerto Rico. We work in person with hotels here and remotely with hotels anywhere else. Same team and same access either way.

The phone will keep ringing. You don't have to be the one answering it.

Thirty minutes with the founders to find the biggest bottleneck in your hotel and see what we would build to fix it. No pressure.
