Multilingual guest messaging for vacation rentals
One guest asks in German where to park. Another writes in French because they cannot find the entrance. A useful answer needs the right language and the right property instructions. Translating a generic sentence still leaves the guest with a problem to solve.
Rentevo drafts answers using property information and the conversation context, in the language your guest writes in. Your team follows messages in the inbox, can view an Italian translation and steps in when a decision is needed.
Start with the instructions you already use
You do not need to rewrite every answer in English, French and German. Add each property’s entrance, parking, Wi-Fi, hours and appliance instructions to its Knowledge Base. Rentevo uses those details to answer the specific question, adapting the language to the conversation.
Clear source information matters. Write “parking space 4 is on the left of the gate” rather than “park in the usual place”. Keep addresses, network names and instructions up to date for each rental. If access changes, update that property before the next arrivals.
Guests use their language; your team can follow in Italian
AI reply language is based on the text the guest writes. An English question gets an English reply, using the instructions for the property linked to the conversation. You do not need to select a translation for every question.
In the inbox, use Translate to view a message in Italian while retaining the original text. You can also enable automatic Italian translation for new messages in settings. Italian is the translation language for the team; guest-facing AI replies use the guest’s language.
When a guest asks “can I leave two hours later?”, understanding the message is the first step. Your property’s schedule determines the answer. The team decides on the exception and joins the conversation, while the assistant can handle questions about instructions already provided.
Ask a real question in the language you want to test
This interactive demo uses a sample property. Ask a full question in English, French or German about arrival, parking or Wi-Fi. Continue the conversation and check whether the instructions answer your question. Use the same approach to review your own property information.
Replies, reminders and guides each have a different workflow
AI replies follow the guest’s questions and conversation language. Scheduled WhatsApp messages use templates with language variants: prepare the translations, review them and track approval. When the reservation includes the guest’s language, Rentevo uses it to choose an approved variant.
For information guests need throughout their stay, the digital guide offers Italian, English, French, German and Spanish. These five guide languages are separate from chat reply language. Guests open a link or QR code to find instructions without searching through a long conversation.
Test the languages your guests actually use
Before enabling replies, use AI Test Mode: Rentevo generates test messages without sending them to guests. Check a full arrival question, a Wi-Fi question and a request that needs your team. Review language, property and instructions, then choose which rentals should have the assistant enabled.
For scheduled reminders, use WhatsApp Automation Test Mode, which has its own control. Review language variants and reservation details before sending. Manual messages sent from the chat are still real sends.
Connect your conversations and start with one property
Connect Octorate or Lodgify to work with imported properties, reservations and conversations in Rentevo. You can also connect your own WhatsApp Business number. Start with one rental whose instructions are complete and test guest questions before extending the workflow across your portfolio.
You get a 15-day trial. Rentevo costs €9 per property per month, including VAT, for up to 10 properties; larger portfolios have custom pricing. Meta charges for billable WhatsApp messages are additional. In a demo, we can start with the languages and questions your team handles every day.
