  • Five presets cover the most properties - boutique, luxury, business, family, hostel
  • Or write a custom prompt: tone, vocabulary, sign-off, what to never say

Boutique / Design Hotel Current
Warm and personal, with a local voice. Recommends hidden spots, references neighbourhood details, treats guests as regulars.
Luxury / 5-star
Formal and refined. “Mr./Ms.”, anticipates needs, offers without being asked. Best for 5-star properties and private residences.
Business hotel
Efficient and professional. No small talk, clear answers, 24-hour time, numbers preferred over words.
Family resort / Aparthotel
Warm and patient. Aware of kids, strollers, dietary needs; happy to repeat details.
Hostel / Social stay
Casual and playful. First-name basis, shorter sentences, the occasional emoji.
04 · FAQ

Boutique & independent · common questions

01

How long does setup actually take for a property our size?

The platform is live in one day — that's the PMS connection, the WhatsApp Business setup, the inbox. You don't need a project manager or an IT resource.

02

We're a 30-room property. Is Viqal overkill?

No — boutique is actually where Viqal shows up best. Groups have ops teams and shift coverage; a 30-room property has one or two people trying to do everything. Handing the repetitive questions (arrival instructions, breakfast times, “can I check in early?”) to Viqal gives your team hours back for the things that actually make guests remember you.

The AI drafts every message, and you review and approve the voice before it goes live. Every outgoing message is signed with your duty manager's name, not “the team at [hotel]”. Guests reply to a human name, always.

03

What if a guest wants to talk to a real person?

They always can. Any message Viqal can't confidently handle — complaints, special requests, anything nuanced — gets routed to your on-duty team with the full conversation context. Guests can also just ask (“can I speak to someone”), and Viqal hands off immediately. This is on the Team Inbox page in detail.

04

We don't have a tech team. Who manages it?

Our team handles the WhatsApp compliance, the PMS connection, the AI model — you handle the hospitality.

05

What if we want to pause or cancel?

Cancel any time before the end of your subscription period. No clawbacks, no necessary multi-year commitment. We offer Month-to-month billing.

06

Can Viqal speak the languages our guests arrive in?

Yes — 200+ languages. A guest messaging in Japanese gets a reply in Japanese in your voice. You can write replies in your native language and Viqal handles the translation. This is a big reason boutique hotels in tourist destinations pick us.
