Your website
A site for a business like this, drafted by the software
Lipa Guesthouse is a made-up family-run guesthouse. The software read its facts and picked the Hearth Look.
Why this Look
Hearth's arched frames and opening-hours ticket put the room rates and the reception hours first, which is what a walker arriving at nine at night needs to know.

Everything inside this plan
What this looks like day to day
In plain words — no tool names, no jargon. AI drafts; you approve.
- — Rate, availability, and 'is there parking' questions get answered on your site at 11pm, without anyone on the desk.
- — Every review gets a polite, on-brand reply drafted for you to approve — the difficult ones moved to email.
- — Guest emails — pre-arrival, check-out, the follow-up — get drafted from a one-line note instead of written from scratch.
- — Your booking system and channel manager stay exactly where they are; AI answers and captures on top of them.
- — Nothing reaches a guest until you've read it.

Here is one of them in full.

The other 5 are in the unlocked plan, each with a note on when to use it.
AI helpers & app connections are part of the plan
· 4Ready-made AI helpers with safety rules, plus the app connections that plug your AI into the apps you already use.
One of them, in full:
- Review response agent — Drafts a personal, specific response to every new review — thankful for the good, factual and unrepeating for the bad.
The remaining 3 are in the unlocked plan, with the safety rules set for your business.

What to skip (for now)
Monthly research and updates, if you choose.
Your one-time purchase unlocks the full plan: setup steps, guides for each automatic job, ready-to-use AI wording and app connections, with AI drafts checked by a person. Nothing continues after that purchase. About a month later, we ask whether you want Kept current: monthly search, AI-visibility and competitor research, a short briefing, plan re-assessment, model notes, price alerts and dated Friday updates. It starts only if you say yes. Stop any time and keep your plan.
7-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked.
You're not left alone with it
Every plan includes consultation for the specific questions your business throws up — a step that doesn't match your setup, a tool you already pay for, a price that moved. A consultant at Dapols answers within 24–48 working hours. It isn't instant, and it isn't a bot you argue with.
Consultation with a person, up to 4 times a month
Bigger or more complex?
If your scope is bigger than one plan — several jobs, unusual systems, or a connection that needs a person — that's a custom engagement, quoted and invoiced directly, not through our checkout.
Questions about AI tools for hotels, motels and B&Bs
What does AI cost for hotels, motels and B&Bs?
Finding your plan is free: a short questionnaire, no card. The full plan is $99, paid once. The tools it names are bought from their own makers at the monthly budget you choose, and each one shows its price and the date we checked it. Dapols takes no share of what you sell or spend. Refunds are available for 7 days.
How long does it take to set up?
You get the whole plan the moment you pay. It starts with a first week of one small task a day, then a 90-day roadmap for the rest, so you set up one tool at a time, at your own pace. Dapols does not log in to your accounts or set the tools up for you.
What stays with me, and what does AI do?
Every job in the plan is labelled: yours to keep, or AI does the work and you approve it. In this plan, jobs kept with you include Complaints and refund requests, Rates and discounts, and Safety and incident reports. Nothing is sent, posted, bought or published on your behalf.
Is it a subscription?
No. The $99 is charged once and nothing renews by itself. There is an optional $29/month subscription that keeps your research and prices current. It starts only if you say yes, and you can stop any time and keep everything already delivered.
