A one- or two-week backlog builds fast during peak season, and given that travelers are 3.9 times more likely to book the hotel with the better review score, that delay compounds: stale responses depress conversion while your front desk is busy turning rooms.

A copy-paste 'thank you for your feedback' reply to a guest who raved about your hyperlocal breakfast spread or your curated neighborhood guide erodes exactly the personalized experience your brand is built on.
