The AI phone receptionist for hotels, B&Bs & guesthouses.

A missed call at a small property is often a whole stay lost to an online travel agent and its commission. Ringmere answers every call, checks live availability for the guest’s dates, quotes the total, and books the room or hands your team a booking request to confirm.

The missed-call problem

Sound familiar?

  • Booking calls ringing out during check-in and housekeeping
  • Direct-booking guests giving up and booking through an OTA instead
  • Evening and weekend enquiries with nobody at the desk

Every one of those is a booking walking to a competitor. Ringmere answers before it does.

Questions from hotels, B&Bs & guesthouses

Good to know.

Does it work with my channel manager?
Yes. Ringmere connects to Beds24 and Cloudbeds. It reads live availability and prices from your channel manager, and when it books a room your channel manager updates Booking.com, Airbnb and your other channels automatically.
What if I don’t use a channel manager?
Add your room types and nightly rates in Ringmere and it books against that inventory, with no double-booking. You can switch to a channel manager connection later.
Can I approve bookings before they’re confirmed?
Yes. You choose per property: the AI either books rooms directly, or takes booking requests and your team confirms each one from the dashboard.
Will it ever guess availability?
No. It only offers rooms and prices returned by a live availability check. If availability can’t be checked, it takes a booking request instead of guessing.
