The assessment

What stands out

Strengths

Connects guest data across touchpoints. PMS, WiFi, CRM and booking activity can contribute to a fuller profile.

Covers arrival and marketing use cases. The platform includes digital check-in, guest communication, loyalty and direct-booking tools.

Designed for groups. Hotelinking publishes more than 1,000 hotels and over 120 active integrations.

Useful WiFi data capture. The captive portal can identify accompanying guests who may not appear as the lead booker in the PMS.

Worth knowing

Hotel Tech Report's 4.0 score is based on only three reviews of the WiFi captive-portal product, including one poor review. It is too small to represent the full current platform reliably.

The product now covers several areas. Buyers should separate GuestMaker, DeskForce, WiFi, CRM, marketing and other modules in the proposal rather than assuming all functions are included.

Guest data, WiFi capture and marketing require careful consent, privacy, retention and preference management. Confirm what is written back to the PMS or CRM, how duplicate profiles are handled and how guests withdraw consent.

Operational fit

Where it fits

  • Capture and enrich guest profiles through connected PMS and WiFi data.

Single properties needing one simple messaging tool, and organisations without clear ownership of privacy, CRM data quality and marketing automation.
