Configure the Guest Homepage
The guest homepage settings are the HOME configuration side of Guest Experience Platform. Managers use them to control the guest-facing entry point for property information, services, promotions, and links into guest workflows.
GEP itself is broader than this settings page. The guest app renders the homepage and can route guests into Assistance Requests, Catalogue V3, Facility Booking, digital compendium content, and promotions.
Quick Reference
| Area | What It Controls | What To Check |
|---|---|---|
| General homepage | Guest-facing branding, default homepage presentation, and baseline behavior. | Confirm the page opens cleanly on mobile before linking guests to it. |
| Homepage sections | Which content guests see first. | Keep the most important actions easy to find. |
| Side-menu sections | General, Assistance, Rate Us, Activity, Facilities, Things To Do, Hotel Info, Promotion, and Revbooster setup. | Review each enabled section before go-live. |
| Request Amenities order | The order guests see for request-amenity tabs inside Assistance. | Confirm the property-configured order before testing the guest page. |
| Service icons | Shortcut buttons and labels guests use to open configured services. | Confirm every icon opens the intended guest flow. |
| Images and text | Guest-facing presentation. | Use current property wording and approved images. |
| Services and links | Actions guests can open from GEP. | Confirm each link opens the right guest flow. |
| Hotel Info content | Policies and links shown in the digital compendium. | Make sure every policy has a category so guest grouping stays visible. |
| Section language selector | Hotel Info and Things To Do can show a language picker when configured. | Confirm the selector offers the expected languages and updates the section copy. |
| Language fields | Guest-facing translations. | Check required languages before publishing. |
| Phone previews | Mobile previews shown while configuring GEP content. | Use the preview as a first check, then test the real guest page. |

- Move through the side-menu sections for Assistance, Rate Us, Activity, Facilities, Things To Do, Hotel Info, AI Voice Call, Promotion, and Revbooster.
- Update titles, descriptions, images, icon labels, and visible actions.
- In Settings > Guest Homepage > General (tab) > Services Icon , drag each service from its grip handle into the order guests should see.

Configure AI Voice Calls
Eligible hotel administrators can make an AI voice assistant available from the GEP guest page. The assistant answers guest calls with AI and does not ring hotel staff.
Before enabling the feature, prepare one approved PDF with hotel facilities, policies, opening hours, and guest information. The PDF must be 6 MB or smaller.

Prepare your hotel information before enabling AI voice for guests.
In HOME, open Settings, then Guest Homepage. Select AI Voice Call in the Configuration menu.
Choose your approved hotel-information PDF, six megabytes or less. Select the file, click Open, then click Upload PDF.
Wait for Ready for AI voice. The toggle stays unavailable while the document is preparing.
Preparation failed? Click Retry. No new upload is needed.
Once your hotel’s AI voice policy is confirmed, turn on Voice assistant and test the live guest page.
Guests speak to an AI assistant using your hotel information. It does not ring hotel staff.
- Go to Settings > Guest Homepage.
- Select AI Voice Call in the configuration side menu.
- Choose or drop the hotel-information PDF into the upload area.
- Click Upload PDF. To replace an existing file, choose the replacement PDF and click Replace PDF.
- Wait for the document status to change from queued or processing to Ready for AI voice.
- If preparation fails, click Retry. You do not need to upload the PDF again.
- Turn on Voice assistant. The setting saves when you change the toggle.
- Test the AI voice button from the live GEP guest page.
The Voice assistant toggle stays unavailable until the hotel information is ready. The AI voice button appears for guests only after the complete AI-only policy is confirmed and Voice assistant is on. If the property no longer wants to offer the assistant, turn off Voice assistant.
Test Guest Navigation
Use the phone preview while editing, then test the guest page itself. The preview helps managers catch missing labels, images, and obvious layout issues before publishing. The live guest page is still the final check because it confirms the actual guest landing page, linked pages, reusable form fields, and destination flows.
When testing, confirm:
- The landing page opens for the correct property.
- Generic content pages show the intended title, body, images, and action buttons.
- Service icons open the intended Assistance, Catalogue V3, Facility Booking, digital compendium, or content page.
- Guest inputs such as text fields, counters, dates, times, ratings, image uploads, and required fields appear with clear labels.
- Hotel Info and Things To Do language selectors show the expected language choices and update the displayed copy.
- The language picker shows the expected language choices and does not expose incomplete translated content.
Publishing Checks
- Confirm outdated promotions are hidden.
- Confirm the General homepage view has the correct property presentation.
- Confirm service icons use guest-friendly labels and open the intended destination.
- Confirm service icons appear in the intended order after dragging them in Settings > Guest Homepage > General (tab) > Services Icon.
- Confirm Request Amenities tabs appear in the configured order for the property.
- Confirm guest actions go to the right flow, such as Assistance Requests, Catalogue V3, or Facility Booking.
- For Hotel Info content, confirm every policy has a category before saving. If any rows are missing a category, HOME shows a warning and the guest app category grouping stays hidden until the rows are updated.
- Confirm required language fields do not show blank content.
- Confirm the page works on a mobile screen.
