Yes. Inbound calls are answered at any hour you set the line to take them. Late-night callers get tariff details and leave a booking request for your reservations team.

Can it confirm a room booking on the call?

Not on its own. It records dates, room type and number of guests and sends the request to your front desk or system by webhook. Your team confirms availability and the booking.

Which languages can guests use?

You set the agent up in your customer's language, choosing from 12 Indian languages: Hindi, English, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Bengali, Odia and Assamese, plus Hinglish. You pick the language per campaign or agent. A Kochi homestay might use Malayalam, Hindi and English for different guest lists.
