Your guests stay one night. Their review lasts forever.
Transform every stay into a Google review with a QR prize wheel. Your guests leave a review at breakfast or checkout, spin the wheel, win a late checkout or upgrade. You collect 200 reviews in 60 days and reduce your OTA dependency.
Your guests leave happy. But without leaving a review. And Booking cashes in.
OTA dependency
Your guests book via Booking, Expedia, Hotels.com. You pay 15-20% commission. Every time. A 30-room hotel pays between 45,000 EUR and 80,000 EUR in OTA commissions per year. That 15-20% goes straight into the platforms' pockets. Not into your renovation. Not into your staff. Into Booking's pockets.
Insufficient Google reviews
Your guests are delighted with their stay. They tell you at checkout. Then they leave. And leave nothing on Google. 95% of satisfied hotel guests never spontaneously leave a Google review. Your Google rating stagnates at 3.8 or 4.1 stars with 60 reviews. Travelers search "hotel [your city]" on Google. They find you. But choose the competitor with 4.6 stars and 500+ reviews.
Ineffective emails
You've tried sending post-stay emails. "Hello, could you leave a review on Google?" Conversion rate of post-stay emails for Google reviews: 2-4%. Maximum. You send 100 emails. You get 2 or 3 reviews. And that's if people don't delete the email unread. You give up. Your Google rating stays mediocre. The cycle repeats.
The solution? Turn breakfast and checkout into automatic review collection moments.
Ludofy integrates perfectly into the 3 key moments of the hotel guest journey. Your guests play. You collect. Automatically.
Guest scans at breakfast or checkout
You place QR code tent cards on breakfast tables and at the reception counter. Clear message: "Scan to win a free late checkout." The guest scans instantly.
They leave their Google review in 30 seconds
The QR code redirects them directly to your Google Business page. They leave their review (usually 5 stars since they're happy with their stay). Mobile-optimized interface, simple, fast.
They spin the wheel and win immediately
Once they've left their review, they access the prize wheel. One click. The wheel spins. They win their prize: late checkout, room upgrade, discount on next booking, or welcome bottle.
You validate the prize and build loyalty
You receive a notification. You validate the prize won (late checkout if the room is free, or alternative prize). The guest is delighted. They come back. You turn a review into a repeat customer.
Why does it work so well for hotels?
Perfect timing: at breakfast or checkout, the guest is relaxed and available
Late checkout costs you nothing if the room isn't booked that evening
38-42% scan rate (vs 2-4% by email)
You reduce your OTA dependency thanks to more Google reviews

Why does Ludofy work so well in hospitality?
4 psychological and operational reasons explaining the 38-42% success rate
Perfect timing
At breakfast or checkout, your guest is relaxed, satisfied, available. It's the ideal moment to ask for a review. Not 3 days later by email. Now. Right away.
Immediate reward
Your guest doesn't leave a review "to be nice." They do it to win something. Immediately. A late checkout. An upgrade. A discount. Basic behavioral psychology: immediate reward = immediate action.
Gamification effect
Leaving a review is a chore. Spinning a prize wheel is a game. Ludofy turns the chore into a fun moment. Your guests don't "endure" it. They play. They have fun. They even come back with friends to show them.
Total automation
You don't follow up with anyone. You don't send any emails. You don't do any tracking. You place your QR tent cards. The system runs itself. You collect. Automatically. Effortlessly. No dedicated team needed.
Hotel du Port, La Rochelle
Thomas Bernard's challenge
Thomas manages a 3-star, 28-room hotel with a view of the Old Port of La Rochelle. Despite an exceptional location and delighted guests, his Google presence was dismal.
Starting situation:
- •Only 89 Google reviews
- •Average rating: 3.9 stars
- •75% of bookings via Booking and Expedia
- •OTA commissions: ~12,000 EUR per month
"We had a magnificent hotel. But 89 reviews on Google. The new hotels downtown had 500+. We were invisible. Result: total dependency on OTAs."
Ludofy implementation
Thomas deploys Ludofy at 3 strategic points:
- •QR tent cards on every breakfast table
- •Visible QR code at reception counter (checkout)
- •QR cards on room service trays
Lot principal : Free late checkout (cost: near zero)
Lots secondaires : -15% on next direct booking, room upgrade
Results after 2 months
60 days of use:
387 Google reviews (+335%)
Average rating: 4.5 stars (+0.6 points)
42% direct bookings (vs 25% before)
"Breakfast is the perfect moment: the guest is relaxed, happy with their stay. They scan, leave their review, spin the wheel. It's become a ritual."
Real business impact
Top 3 for "hotel La Rochelle Old Port" on Google
-2,800 EUR/month in OTA commissions = -33,600 EUR/year
ROI: 140 EUR invested -> 33,600 EUR saved (ROI 240:1)
"Our direct booking rate went from 25% to 42%. Less OTA commissions, more margin. Ludofy paid for itself 10 times over in 2 months."
