The questions we hear most.
Straight answers on turning Hovr on, where the video comes from, what you control, and cost — written for properties already running on GuestCentric.
Getting started
What is Hovr?+
Hovr is a video layer for your booking experience. It builds a library of short-form video for your property, places it on the pages guests browse, and reports on the bookings that video influenced — all from one dashboard inside your GuestCentric booking engine.
How is Hovr added to the GuestCentric booking engine?+
Hovr automatically pulls room images from the booking engine and creates an interactive image reel for each room type. Animated Highlights are placed over each room type title to showcase visual content, using the brand’s hex color for a seamless aesthetic. If your booking engine supports multiple languages, Hovr applies to those versions automatically. If you have video room tours available, these can be used in place of the image reel. You will be driving higher conversion rates in no time.
Why is Hovr needed for the booking engine?+
Hovr helps guests visualize their stay at the most critical moment — when they’re deciding to book.
