AI receptionist for small hotels and guesthouses in Norway

Calls a Norwegian property gets

Travellers asking whether the ferry or the mountain road is open, how late they can arrive, and whether there's a restaurant nearby. Midnight-sun season brings calls at hours when nobody in a small hotel is at the desk.

Benvida can greet in Norwegian and switch to English, German, French or the guest's language, using the directions and arrival instructions you give her.

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.
