AI receptionist for B&Bs and lodges in New Zealand

What to know before trying it in New Zealand

Most of your callers are international visitors on a road trip: they want a room tonight, directions and a late check-in. Benvida answers in English or their language and passes you the details.

Our number is Spanish, so forwarding from a New Zealand line is international and may cost per minute; ask your provider. Our team works on Spanish time, so email replies arrive during your night.

What Benvida does

• Answers on the first ring, day or night, even with several calls at once.
• Gives your answers: check-in times, directions, dogs, parking, breakfast.
• Takes the booking details (dates, guests, phone and email), reads them back and emails them to you straight away. She never confirms price or availability without you.
• If the caller asks for a person or there's an emergency, she transfers the call. If asked, she says she's an AI.

Before you switch it on: call forwarding costs

Benvida answers on a Spanish (+34) number. You keep your own number and forward calls to it with your carrier's call forwarding, which means an international forward: some plans charge for it per minute and some don't allow it. Ask your carrier before you start; you can test it during the free trial and switch it off just as fast.
