Hotel and stay guide
To use inTusell in a hotel, create your account, pick the "Hotels & Accommodation" industry, connect WhatsApp and Instagram, turn on the stay module and add your property and room types. The AI finds a free room and quotes prices only from a rate plan. Rate plans cannot be entered in the panel today, so the AI never guesses.
Who this is for
- Hotels, guesthouses, aparthotels, villas, hostels and resorts
- Front desk and reservation teams that receive guest questions on WhatsApp or Instagram
- Businesses with more than one property that want them all in one account
- Properties that want to follow in-stay guest requests in one place
Before you start
- A phone running your business WhatsApp
- A list of your properties and room types, with the room count and maximum occupancy of each room type
- For Instagram: a Professional account linked to a Facebook Page

Video for this section (in Turkish) · 2 minKnowledge Base: teach the AI your business once (in Turkish)Availability, prices and reservations
A price comes from a rate plan defined by date, board and occupancy, and the AI quotes prices only from there. Rate plans cannot be entered in the panel today.
- 1
The AI finds an available room
When a guest gives dates, the AI checks your room types and availability for those dates. If the room is full it suggests other dates.
- 2
It never guesses the price
Without a rate plan for the chosen dates, the AI gives no price, does not guess one and opens no reservation; if the guest wants, it connects them to your team, who give the price.
- 3
Follow reservations and requests
Reservations the AI opens move through "Move to payment", "Mark as paid", "Confirm", "Check in" and "Check out" in the "Reservations" tab. When a guest with a reservation writes a request in the chat, such as housekeeping, towels or a late checkout, the AI records it. It finds the reservation from the booking code the guest gives or, without a code, from the guest’s stay today, and asks which one if the guest has more than one stay today. The request lands in the "Concierge" tab and your team gets a notification; your team moves it along there with "Start" and "Complete".

Follow your work in Stays
The Stays room is where your daily work lives. It has the "Properties & Rooms", "Reservations", "Concierge" and "Settings" tabs. Conversations keeps the Inbox, Contacts and the Sales Pipeline.

Choose how much the AI does
In My business › Instructions › AI Settings, under "How it works", pick the AI mode: Intern (the default) sends replies itself and asks you before a cancellation or refund and when it does not know the answer; Senior also handles cancellations and refunds; Full approval waits for your approval before every reply (email has no approval queue, so the AI does not reply there).

Take over a single conversation
Inside a conversation you can switch it to Live, Approval, Shadow or Paused. The change applies to that conversation only.
Things to keep in mind
- The stay module is in beta and does not switch on by itself; you turn it on in the "Stay Module" card.
- A price comes from a rate plan, and rate plans cannot be entered in the panel today. For dates without a rate plan the AI gives no price and does not guess one; it connects the guest to your team when they want.
- The AI does not tell guests the "₺/night" price you enter on a room type; that field stays in the panel as a reference.
- Instagram DMs never get a payment link; the AI points the guest to WhatsApp for payment.
Common problems and fixes
- Problem: There is no Stays room in the menu.
- Fix: Check that the module is enabled in the "Stay Module" card on My business › Business Info and click "Save".
- Problem: The AI does not offer rooms.
- Fix: Check that the "Properties & Rooms" tab has at least one property and room type with a room count.
- Problem: The AI offers to connect the team instead of giving a price.
- Fix: This is expected: without a rate plan for the chosen dates the AI does not guess, and it does not give the "₺/night" figure from the room type either. Your team gives the guest the price.
- Problem: Instagram messages are not arriving.
- Fix: Check that the Instagram account is Professional and linked to your Facebook Page; use the "Reconnect" link on Messaging Channels.
