Can AI confirm a hotel cancellation?
Short answer
It can identify the booking, retrieve the current rate rule, collect evidence, and submit an exception request. Waiving a fee or issuing a refund requires an authoritative host decision.
Why this goes wrong
The guest’s reason sounds sympathetic, so the model writes the outcome it expects a good hotel to offer. That answer silently overrides channel rules, property policy, and payment state.
How Tonetify handles it
The host sends booking and rate truth. Govern constrains the response to the recorded policy and marks exception requests as proposals. The property team executes any waiver.
Before you implement
- 01Retrieve the exact booking and rate
- 02Separate policy from exception
- 03Do not promise refund timing
- 04Record who approved the final change
