How ChatGPT chooses hotels

  • ChatGPT answers from training knowledge and can search the web for current questions, showing its sources.
  • For web search OpenAI uses its own crawler (OAI-SearchBot). If it is blocked in your robots.txt, your pages are missing as a source.
  • Hotels described consistently and concretely in many trusted sources get named.

What your hotel can do

  • Allow OAI-SearchBot in your robots.txt.
  • Keep facts on your own website clear and complete: location, amenities, target guests, prices, arrival.
  • Keep Schema.org (Hotel, FAQPage) and an llms.txt up to date via Auto-Sync so AI finds your facts in machine-readable form.
  • Maintain Google, Tripadvisor and Booking profiles with identical name, address and phone (NAP).

Why visibility in ChatGPT matters for hotels

Guests ask ChatGPT for a recommendation, not a list of links. The answer usually names only a few hotels. If yours is missing, it is not compared and not booked.

Every recommendation that leads to your website can become a direct booking without OTA commission.

Where ChatGPT gets its hotel knowledge

ChatGPT answers from its training knowledge and searches the web for current questions, showing the sources it used. OpenAI uses the OAI-SearchBot crawler for search and ChatGPT-User for fetches during a conversation.

Hotels described consistently and concretely across many trusted sources get named: own website, Google Business Profile, review sites, travel guides.

Contradicting details such as different addresses or outdated offers make a recommendation less likely.
