-
Consent-first follow-up
- Only follow up using contact details when the guest explicitly consented.
-
Bulk status updates

When a low rating arrives
Acknowledge
Read the submission and note the main issue.
Follow up if consented
Use contact details only when the guest opted in.
Mark resolved
Set a status once the issue is handled.
Examples
One-off complaint
Mark resolved after review if no pattern exists.
Repeat service issue
Tag for follow-up and notify the manager.
Location-specific spike
Compare locations to isolate the source.
What it is not
Reviato is not a shared inbox for replying to reviews, a messaging platform, or a listings manager.
What you will see
Alert email
The rating, text, and location from the submission.
Filtered list
The set of low ratings in a time window.
Trend view
Low rating volume over time by location.
Why you want private alerts
If you only learn about problems when they show up publicly, you're late.
Low ratings are often fixable when they're fresh, a cleanliness miss you can correct today, a service failure you can diagnose while staff remember it, a value complaint you can validate with recent context.
What you do next
Filter to confirm it's a pattern
Is this a one-off, or repeating? Is it tied to a specific time or known issue? Filter by rating, date range, and keywords.
Decide, follow-up or resolve
If it needs action, mark it follow-up. If it's handled (or not actionable), mark it resolved.
Bulk updates for clusters
If you get a cluster of similar submissions, bulk updates let you change status across multiple items.
