About
MARA Solutions is an AI-powered hotel reputation management platform designed to help hoteliers respond to guest reviews faster, smarter, and more consistently. Ranked #1 on Hotel Tech Report for 2026, MARA centralizes reviews from all major OTAs into a single inbox and generates high-quality, personalized AI responses in any language — out of the box, with no training required. The platform's Brand Voice feature learns from your existing replies to ensure every AI-generated response sounds authentically like your property. Smart Snippets automatically detect recurring topics (e.g., breakfast, parking, Wi-Fi) and insert pre-approved, context-aware answers, while automation rules can handle 4- and 5-star reviews without any manual intervention. MARA's Review Analytics module surfaces actionable insights from hundreds of reviews in minutes, tracking topic sentiment over time so management can identify operational improvements without hours of manual reading. The Surveys feature uses AI to help happy guests draft their own 5-star reviews, boosting conversion rates on review request campaigns. Additional tools include embeddable Review Widgets that showcase ratings on your website to drive direct bookings, a Chrome Extension for replying on the go, and a native MEWS PMS integration. MARA supports multi-user and multi-property workflows, making it ideal for hotel groups and management companies overseeing dozens of properties. Customers report cutting review response time from 5–10 minutes per reply to under 2 minutes.
