When travelers ask AI where to stay, are you on the list?
Trip planning now includes asking AI assistants. See when your hotel, tour or travel brand is recommended, who is suggested instead, and which reviews and guides shape those answers.
Example answer

Where the answers come from
Types of sources AI answers can draw on in this category.
- Review platforms
- Guest ratings and reviews, often summarized into pros and cons.
- Travel guides and blogs
- Neighborhood guides, itineraries and “best of” lists.
- Booking and comparison sites
- Listings, prices and availability.
- Forums and social posts
- Travelers’ questions and first-hand accounts.
- Your own site
- Room pages, policies and FAQs, when they are clear enough to quote.
What AI can get wrong
Outdated facts
A closed restaurant, last year’s prices or a renovation that has finished can live on in answers.
Wrong policies
Cancellation, pet or child policies quoted from an old page can cost you bookings.
A competitor as the default
When guides keep naming the same three hotels, AI answers can keep repeating them.
What to track
Personas
Couples on a city break
Boutique hotels, neighborhoods, food.
Families
Space, safety, kids’ facilities.
Business travelers
Location, workspace, flexible cancellation.
Budget travelers
Value, transport links, hostels and apartments.
- Competitors
- Hotels and operators in the same destination and price band, plus the booking platforms that sit between you and the guest.
- Markets
- The countries your guests travel from. The same question asked in the UK, Germany and the US can return different recommendations.
Questions
- Can we track a single hotel, or a whole group?
- Either. Every plan includes unlimited brands, so you can track one property or a portfolio, each with its own competitors.
- Can you ask in our guests’ own languages?
- Yes. Prompts run country by country, phrased the way a local traveler would ask, with native-language prompts in more than five languages.
- Which AI platforms should a travel brand track?
- It depends on where your guests plan. Starter tracks ChatGPT. Growth and Scale let you pick any 4 of the supported platforms, and you can change your picks from the next scan.
- Will this bring us more bookings?
- MentionSight shows where you appear and what shapes those answers. It doesn’t guarantee rankings or bookings; what your team does with the findings is what moves them.
