Action: Reviews - The Fastest “Global Upgrade” to Every Review Template
Module 12: Reviews, Reputation & Guest Retention
Automating the reviews you leave for guests saves time, but the wording can quickly become forgettable. A small, consistent change to your review templates, such as naming your property in every review, anchors the guest's memory to your place rather than to "an Airbnb", makes a single listing feel like a brand and keeps the efficiency of automation while sounding like a real host.

Questions people ask
Do automated guest reviews look generic?
They can. Short, generic automated reviews are easy to forget, so a consistent personal touch in the template helps them feel intentional.
Why include my property name in reviews I leave for guests?
Naming the property helps guests remember exactly where they stayed, making it easier for them to find you again and recommend you by name.
What should host-to-guest reviews avoid?
Keep them factual and professional. Avoid exaggeration, and never offer guests anything or put pressure on them in connection with their own review.
