Google Review NFC Card for Hotels, Hotel Apartments and Holiday Homes

International guests do not always share a language with your front office. A tap card needs no instructions beyond the Google logo and a phone icon, so a guest from any country can leave a review without asking how. Google shows the review form in the language set on the guest's phone.

Holiday home operators with units spread across different buildings can place a card in each one; every card opens the same review link unless you choose to programme different links for different properties.

• The front desk, for every checkout.
• The breakfast restaurant, where guests have a few relaxed minutes.
• The lobby lounge, for guests waiting for an airport transfer.
• Inside each unit for holiday homes and serviced apartments, beside the welcome information.

Online travel agencies have their own ratings, but guests also check Google, especially for the location and what is nearby. Your Google Business Profile shows to everyone who searches your property's name, whichever platform they book on, and reviews there are yours to build and reply to directly.

When a guest writes in Arabic, English or another language, replying in the same language where you can is a small courtesy that future guests notice. Thank people for specific details they mention, and respond to complaints about noise, housekeeping or check-in times with what you have done to fix them.

Front-office teams work in shifts, so add a short note to the shift handover: where the cards are and the line to use at checkout. Test each card with a staff phone when it arrives. Night-shift staff can mention it to guests checking out before dawn for early flights, who are often the ones who leave without a word about their stay.

Offer the card to every departing guest and never exchange upgrades, late checkouts or discounts for reviews. Google's policies prohibit incentivised and selectively requested reviews. Future guests trust ratings built on genuine stays.
