Short-stay rentals · Lisbon, Porto and Aveiro

An automated guest journey, without a single front desk.

Apartments in the centre of Lisbon, Porto and Aveiro, for short, medium and long stays, leisure and corporate. With no counter to ask questions at and no key to hand over in person, the experience has to work on its own.

The challenge

Conversations everywhere, and nobody with the whole picture.

Messages arrived across several channels and the administrative team had no way to follow many guests, in many conversations, in many places at the same time. The result was duplicated effort and slow replies.

With no front desk, everything had to be automated, including sending the access codes for doors, lifts and parking. And managing cleaning did not fit any tool on the market: scattered properties do not have the structure of a traditional hotel.

Messages scattered across several channels
Access codes sent by hand
Cleaning with no compatible tool
Dissatisfaction found out too late
The solution

Five pieces, a single platform.

An end-to-end automated journey

Whether the booking comes from an OTA or from the website, everything converges on the same platform. From confirmation to check-out, each step runs on its own, including the access codes at the exact moment.

One AI per property

It is not a generic chatbot. Each unit has an agent that knows the house and speaks to the guest in the right language, the way that property would speak.

Housekeeping built around the operation

Room attendants and housekeeping supervisors with NFC tag reading and a mobile app on iOS and Android. The tool was built around the real operation, not the other way round.

Satisfaction measured in time to act

The surveys go out over WhatsApp while the guest is still at the property. It stops being a report and becomes real-time crisis management.

Flaggy: sentiment by the second

The agent analyses the sentiment of every conversation and review and alerts the operation in real time. An unhappy guest is flagged there and then, not at the end.

"With Guestdash, we are not the ones adapting to the tool. It is the tool that adapts to the way we work."

The result

An operation under control, with no counter at all.

The team stopped jumping between channels. Every conversation converges on a single platform.
Guests get everything on their own. Information and access in the right language and at the right moment.
Cleaning is managed in detail. With NFC and a mobile app on the ground.
Satisfaction is followed in real time. In time to fix it, not weeks later.

More than a tool, Nôma Living found a system where communication, access, cleaning and satisfaction live together. Precisely because it has no front desk, it needed everything to work with nobody pushing.
