This SOP shows how B&B owners can use GoHighLevel to automate guest communications, increase direct bookings, and capture reviews—all from a single CRM dashboard. - Author: Zoltan Juhasz - Tags: Bed & Breakfast Running a bed & breakfast or boutique inn shouldn’t mean checking emails 30 times a day and praying for OTA bookings. Direct bookings and personal guest follow-up are the keys to higher margins—and GoHighLevel gives you the CRM to own it all. The [**Bed & Breakfast Playbook**](https://www.gohighlevel.com/bed-and-breakfast-playbook?fp%5Fref=details&ref=netpartners.marketing) delivers pre-built guest flows, automations and follow-up campaigns designed specifically for small-scale hospitality owners. --- ## TL;DR B&B CRM SOP | Guest Stage | Task | GoHighLevel Automation | | ----------- | ------------------------ | ------------------------------ | | Inquiry | Guest fills booking form | Auto-tag + email confirmation | | Booking | Guest confirms date | SMS + email + CRM sync | | Pre-Stay | 3 days before arrival | Auto-send check-in info | | Post-Stay | Job marked “Completed” | Review request + loyalty offer | | Retention | 6-month follow-up | “Book direct again” incentive | --- ## 1\. Capture Direct Bookings and Cut OTA Fees The B&B snapshot includes a conversion-ready funnel with: - Room photos - Date picker - Pricing - Direct booking form Once a guest selects dates, GHL auto-creates the contact, sends a confirmation email, and moves them into your **Guest Booking Pipeline**. > “We used to lose 15–20% of revenue on Airbnb fees. Now we book direct 40% of the time.” --- ## 2\. Automate Guest Messaging Before Check-In After a room is booked, GoHighLevel handles all pre-stay messaging: - **3 days before:** “Here’s your check-in instructions + local tips” - **1 day before:** “Let us know if you have any last-minute questions” - **Optional:** Send directions, parking details or WiFi info via SMS You look like a high-end property without hiring a receptionist. --- ## 3\. Streamline Guest Communication During the Stay Need to send a mid-stay note? Use tags like `Currently Checked In` to segment guests and message them directly from the GHL inbox. Automate: - Morning coffee reminders - Local event tips - “How’s your stay going?” feedback SMS This enhances the experience and builds trust. --- ## 4\. Request Reviews and Referrals Automatically Once a stay is marked “Completed,” GoHighLevel triggers: - A thank-you email - A review request (Google, Booking.com, Facebook—your choice) - A discount offer for referrals or repeat bookings You can also link to a Typeform or GHL form for internal feedback. --- ## 5\. Rebook Past Guests with Smart Follow-Up 6 weeks, 3 months or 1 year later—GHL can send: - Anniversary emails: “Last year this weekend, you stayed with us!” - Seasonal promos: “Get 15% off our fall staycation special” - VIP-only messages: “Only 2 rooms left for Christmas season—book now” Segment by tags like `Stayed October`, `Special Event`, or `Birthday Weekend`. --- ## Case Study: $22K Direct Revenue Gained in 90 Days **Business:** Rural B&B in Nova Scotia, 6 rooms **Problem:** Heavy OTA reliance, no follow-up, no automation **Solution:** Installed B&B Playbook + direct booking funnel **Results:** - 36 direct bookings via GHL funnel - $22,480 in OTA-fee-free revenue - 61 Google reviews added in 90 days - 4 rebookings triggered by automated follow-up emails > “I didn’t think tech like this was for small places. Now it runs 80% of our backend.” --- ## FAQ: B&B CRM Automation with GHL **Q: Can I sync bookings with Airbnb or other calendars?** GHL doesn’t natively sync to OTAs, but you can manage direct bookings in a dedicated GHL calendar and optionally push to Google Calendar. **Q: Can I collect payments directly?** Yes.
