AI answers your guesthouse's phone, even late at night.
From directions before check-in to a late-night arrival, AI answers the call and responds in Japanese, Chinese, or English from your own materials. Whenever a guest would like to talk to someone, they're connected to staff based on your settings.
Sound familiar?
Can't keep up with calls late at night
Guests running late tend to call at odd hours — late at night, early in the morning. Answering every one of these is a real strain on whoever's running the property.
Calls from overseas guests get lost in translation
Answering accurately, in the moment, when a call comes in in Chinese or English isn't easy. The guest hangs up still unsure, and so do you.
Explaining directions and check-in over and over
Directions from the nearest station, how to get inside, trash and noise rules — the same explanations, call after call after call.

How BookMi AI Phone helps
Answers the phone late at night and early morning
While AI reception is turned on, it answers every call to your guesthouse's dedicated AI number, 24/7, 365 days a year — even outside your own hours.
Responds in Japanese, Chinese, or English
Turn on multilingual reception, and callers choose Japanese, Chinese, or English on the keypad when they connect. The AI answers the entire call in that language.
Shares directions, check-in steps, and house rules
Upload your materials on access, check-in, and house rules, and the AI reads and organizes them into what it answers from. With multilingual reception on, Japanese-only materials are automatically translated for Chinese and English calls too.
Connects guests to staff, whenever they ask
When a guest asks for a person, the call is transferred to your staff's line within the days and hours you set. Outside those hours, the AI takes their request and logs a callback.
Unanswered questions go to a follow-up list
Anything outside your materials is logged with a note that staff will confirm and follow up, so nothing gets missed.
Every call kept on record
Conversations with guests are transcribed call by call and available on your dashboard anytime. The portion of a call transferred to staff is recorded too.

AI Staff
Good evening, thank you for calling [business name].Customer
Hi, I'm checking in tonight, and I think I'm going to arrive quite late. Can I still check in in the middle of the night?AI Staff
Yes, of course — check-in is self-service, so you can get in no matter how late you arrive. The steps are also posted on a sign right by the front door.Customer
That's a relief. Also, after I check out tomorrow, could you hold my luggage for me?AI Staff
I'm sorry, I'm not able to confirm that myself right now — I'll have someone check and get back to you. Could I get your name?Customer
It's Ramirez.AI Staff
Thank you, Ramirez. Someone will follow up with you about the luggage. Is there anything else I can help with?Customer
No, that's everything.AI Staff
Thank you for calling. We look forward to having you. Have a great day.

Frequently asked questions
Q1Can it handle calls late at night or early in the morning?
Yes. While AI reception is turned on, the AI answers calls any time of day. It responds based on your materials — for things like arrival times and how to get in.
Q2What happens with calls from overseas guests?
Turn on multilingual reception, and callers choose Japanese, Chinese, or English on the keypad when they connect. Whichever language they pick, the AI answers the entire call in that language.
Q3Do I need to prepare materials in more than one language?
Japanese materials alone are enough. Upload a PDF or Word document, and the AI reads and organizes it. With multilingual reception on, it's automatically translated for Chinese and English calls too.
Q4What if a guest is stuck and wants to talk to a real person?
Turn on staff handoff, and calls are transferred within the days and hours you set whenever a guest asks for a person. Outside those hours, or when handoff is off, the AI takes their request and logs a callback.
Q5What happens to questions the AI can't answer?
It tells the guest that staff will confirm and follow up, and logs it to a follow-up list — so staff can see exactly what was asked on which call and follow up with confidence.
Q6Can I review what was said on a call with a guest afterward?
Yes. Every call is transcribed and available on your dashboard anytime. Once a call is transferred to staff, that portion includes a recording as well as the transcript.
