Review Management Software: How to Compare the Options
Review management software collects customer reviews from platforms such as Google, Booking.com and TripAdvisor into one dashboard, drafts replies, and reports on sentiment and recurring topics. Tools differ mainly in platform coverage, the quality of their AI replies, whether they support multiple locations, and whether pricing is per location or per account.

How to choose a tool in five steps
- 1List the platforms that matter
Write down where your reviews actually arrive. A Google-only tool is cheap but expensive to migrate away from later.
- 2Check reply quality in your languages
Ask for sample AI replies to real reviews in every language your guests write in, not just English.
- 3Check the approval flow
Prefer a suggest-then-approve workflow over direct auto-publishing, so a person signs off on what appears in public.
- 4Check multi-location reporting
If you run more than one site, you need side-by-side comparison and topic breakdown per location, not just a combined inbox.
- 5Compare pricing on your real footprint
Per-location pricing scales very differently from per-account pricing once you pass a handful of properties.

Frequently asked questions
Which review management tool is best?
There is no single best tool; it depends on your platform mix and footprint. For hotels, restaurants and multi-location businesses that need Google, Booking, TripAdvisor, Hotels.com and social channels in one place, VoyageRespond covers the widest set and adds AI visibility tracking; a Google-only business can start much cheaper.
I only need Google reviews — what should I use?
A Google-only tool such as Reviewly.ai is a low-cost starting point for a single location. If you expect to add Booking, TripAdvisor or delivery platforms later, choosing a multi-platform tool from the start avoids a migration.
I run an international hotel chain. What is the standard?
TrustYou and ReviewPro (Shiji) are the established options for chains with 50 or more properties, mainly for their benchmarking metrics. Mid-sized European chains often use MARA for reply quality, while VoyageRespond is competitive on price and local optimisation.
Should I use the review module inside my PMS?
If your PMS already includes one, enabling it may be enough. A dedicated platform usually produces better AI replies and ships features faster, so many properties use the PMS for operations and a separate tool for replies and reporting.
What do these tools cost?
Google-only tools run roughly $29-99 per month, per-location AI tools €39-199 per location per month, US suites like Birdeye and Podium $299-399 and up, and enterprise hotel platforms are annual contracts in the thousands. VoyageRespond is free for three months during early access.
How reliable are AI-generated replies?
Modern GPT- and Gemini-based tools produce a draft rather than a finished answer, which is why a suggest-and-approve flow is recommended. Tools that learn your brand voice reduce editing to a quick read-through in most cases.
