# AI Receptionist for Bed and Breakfast

AInora builds AI voice agents for bed and breakfast owners and small guesthouse operators that answer every phone call 24/7, take direct bookings into your channel manager, hand out door codes for late check-ins, and answer the same five guest questions in any language. Not a chatbot or phone tree, a real voice AI that conducts natural conversations.

## The Problem

- **B&B owners ARE the front desk.** You are also the cook, the cleaner, and the host. The phone rings while you are flipping pancakes or stripping a bed. Calls drop to voicemail; bookings drop to OTAs.
- **OTA commissions cost 15 to 25% per booking.** A phone caller who reaches voicemail will book through Booking.com or Airbnb instead. That single missed call can cost you a $40 to $80 commission on a single stay.
- **Late arrivals do not respect your schedule.** Guests miss flights, get stuck in traffic, or arrive at 11pm. The AI gives them the door code, parking instructions, and wifi password. You stay asleep.
- **Burnout is real.** Running a small B&B is rewarding; being on call 24/7 is not. AI puts boundaries between you and the phone without losing bookings.
- **The same five questions every week.** Parking, breakfast time, pet policy, check-in window, distance to the train station. AI handles them in any language so you do not have to.

## How AInora Solves It

The AI answers every inbound call, checks your channel manager (RoomRaccoon, Cloudbeds, Little Hotelier, Booking.com extranet, or Airbnb) for live availability, quotes the rate, takes the booking, and confirms by SMS. For after-hours arrivals it gives the door code, parking, and wifi password. For local recommendations it speaks from your hand-picked guide, in the guest preferred language.

If something falls outside the configured rules, AI transfers to your mobile with a one-line brief, or texts you a message. You decide which questions trigger a transfer and which the AI should handle on its own.

## Pricing

B&B and small guesthouse pricing typically falls in the $99 to $300 per month range, depending on call volume and the integrations you need. Most owners recover the cost from a single direct booking they would otherwise have lost to voicemail or to an OTA commission.

## FAQ

**How is this different from a hotel AI receptionist?** A hotel needs Opera, a PBX, multi-shift staff. A four-room B&B does not. We ship a smaller, faster configuration.

**How long does setup take?** Most B&B owners go live in a few days.

**Will guests know they are speaking to an AI?** Yes, the AI introduces itself transparently. Most guests prefer it to voicemail at 11pm.

**Does it work with Airbnb and Booking.com?** Yes. Channel manager sync ensures no double-booking across channels.
