AI receptionist for small hotels and B&Bs in Sweden

Calls a Swedish property gets

German and Danish guests driving up in summer asking about rooms on Gotland, Öland or in the archipelago, and whether there's a ferry connection that day. In the mountains and in Swedish Lapland, winter guests asking about transfers and ski passes.

Benvida can greet in Swedish and switch to English, German or the caller's language. If you run a hostel (vandrarhem), tell her whether bedding and towels are included and when reception is open.

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.
