What hoteliers do with MARA

Guest intelligence, not just a review inbox

See how hotels and hotel groups find out what really drives their ratings, report on it in minutes, and act on it across every property.

Know what really drives your rating

MARA extracts the hotel-specific topics guests actually mention and groups them into categories like housekeeping, rooms, front office and F&B. Impact Scores show which areas move your rating most, and an AI summary splits them into quick wins and strategic actions.

Ask your guest data anything with the AI Research Assistant

Describe the report you need in plain language, and the AI Research Assistant builds it from your reviews, topics, scores and KPIs: executive summary, charts, recommendations and guest quotes. Schedule it daily, weekly or monthly and send it as a web report and PDF to anyone, even people without a MARA login.

Surveys that ask the follow-up question for you

The Conversational Review Booster reads each guest's answer and asks up to 3 AI follow-up questions, so you learn why a stay was great or what went wrong. In-stay surveys alert the right staff when a rating drops below your threshold, while the guest is still on property.

Compare every property in your portfolio

The Group Overview shows MARA Score, response rate and review volume across all properties, grouped by region or brand. Spot the weakest property in any category in seconds and click through to the topics behind it.

Open by design: API and MCP

Pull reviews, analytics, topics and service tickets into your BI tools or ticketing system via the MARA API. With MARA's MCP server, your own AI assistant can query your guest intelligence directly. Your data never gets stuck in another dashboard.

Close the loop with your PMS

Connect Mews, Apaleo, Oracle Opera Cloud, Protel and more. MARA matches reviews to reservations, writes guest preferences into the profile, adds room- and rate-level analytics and creates housekeeping and maintenance tickets automatically.

Answer every review in your own voice

Google, Booking.com, Expedia, Tripadvisor and more land in one inbox. Replies are drafted in a Brand Voice learned from your published answers, and automation rules can publish the ones you choose.

Two tables showing factors affecting MARA scores. The first titled 'Increasing Your MARA Score' lists five categories with reviews and positive impact values: Staff (25 reviews, +1.23), Location (56 reviews, +1.48), Rooms (13 reviews, +2.31), Front Office (42 reviews, +0.79), and Special Services (27 reviews, +3.22), each with green impact bars. The second titled 'Decreasing Your MARA Score' lists the same categories and reviews but with negative impact values: Staff (-1.23), Location (-1.48), Rooms (-2.61), Front Office (-0.79), and Special Services (-3.22), each with red impact bars.

Why MARA

Built on AI and guest intelligence, not on star ratings

Most reputation tools count stars and keywords, then leave the analysis to you. MARA understands rooms, rates, departments and guests, does the analysis with AI, and hands the results to whoever needs them, in MARA or in your own tools.

Surveys

Surveys that listen, not just score

No one likes surveys with 20 questions. Static surveys ask every guest the same list, so guests end up rating a breakfast they never had. MARA keeps surveys short: guests rate their stay and say what mattered, and the AI asks up to 3 follow-up questions about exactly that. You learn the reason behind every score without a long form.

Frequently asked questions

Everything worth knowing about MARA's guest intelligence.

How does MARA analyze reviews and surveys?

MARA reads every review and survey response, extracts the topics guests actually mention and groups them under categories such as housekeeping, rooms, front office and F&B. Impact Scores show which categories affect your rating most, and an AI summary suggests quick wins and strategic actions.

What is the AI Research Assistant?

Your AI analyst inside MARA. Describe the report you need in plain language or start from a template like "What to Fix" or "Monthly Executive Report". It combines your reviews with sentiment, topic scores and KPIs, builds charts and recommendations, and answers follow-up questions. Reports can run on demand or daily, weekly or monthly, and can be emailed as a web report and PDF to anyone, even without a MARA account.

Can I connect MARA to my own tools and AI?

Yes. The MARA API gives read access to reviews, analytics, topics and categories, competitor stats and service tickets, so you can feed BI dashboards or ticketing systems, for example via n8n, Zapier or Make. With MARA's MCP server, AI assistants can query your guest intelligence directly.

How are MARA surveys different from regular guest surveys?

MARA's Conversational Review Booster asks up to 3 AI follow-up questions based on each guest's answer, so you get the reasons behind a score instead of a number alone. Surveys are translated automatically, can be shared via your guest emails, a link or QR code, and in-stay surveys alert your team when a rating falls below your threshold.

Does MARA work for hotel groups?

Yes. The Group Overview compares MARA Score, response rate and review volume across all properties and can be grouped by region or brand. AI Research Assistant reports work at property, cluster or account level.

Which PMS systems does MARA integrate with?

Mews, Apaleo, Ibelsa, Protel, LikeMagic, Oracle Opera Cloud, StayNTouch and Guestline. Once connected, MARA shows reservation data next to each review, writes guest preferences into the PMS, adds room- and rate-level analytics and creates service tickets.

Do I need help to set MARA up?

No. MARA is self-service: connect your review platforms and PMS yourself, and MARA builds your analytics and Brand Voice automatically from your existing reviews and replies.

Which review platforms does MARA support?

Google, Booking.com, Expedia, Tripadvisor, Trip.com, Agoda, HRS, HolidayCheck, Airbnb, Hostelworld and OpenTable. Google, Booking.com, Expedia and Tripadvisor are direct integrations with one-click publishing; for the others, MARA prepares the reply and opens the platform for you.

Will AI replies sound like us?

Yes. Brand Voice is trained automatically on the replies you have already published, and admins can refine its guidelines anytime. Smart Snippets control what MARA says about recurring topics, and automation rules can publish selected replies for you.
