Mara Solutions Integration

Created by Jasmina Pukšič, Modified on Mon, 30 Mar at 9:20 AM by Jasmina Pukšič

The MARA Solutions integration connects your guest reviews directly with Flexkeeping, so your team can quickly act on feedback and improve operations. 

Instead of manually checking reviews and creating follow-up tasks, this integration automatically turns relevant guest feedback into actionable assignments for your housekeeping and maintenance teams. 

This guide explains how it works and what to expect. 

The Basics 

Guest reviews often contain valuable insightsbut they’re easy to miss or slow to act on. 

With this integration: 

  • MARA collects and analyzes guest reviews from online platforms 
  • Reviews are matched with past guest stays 
  • Relevant issues are automatically turned into tasks in Flexkeeping 


What this means for your hotel: 

  • Faster response to guest feedback 
  • Less manual work for your team 
  • Better coordination between departments 


How It Works 

Step-by-Step Flow 

Guest leaves a review 

After their stay, a guest writes a review on a booking platform. 

 

MARA processes the review 

  • Matches the review to a reservation 
  • Identifies if action is needed 
  • Creates a service ticket if necessary 


Task is sent to Flexkeeping 

  • The system automatically creates an assignment 
  • The task includes room details, issue type, and description 


Your team takes action 

  • Housekeeping or maintenance staff receive the task 
  • They complete it like any other assignment in Flexkeeping 


What Gets Created in Flexkeeping 

The integration creates two types of assignments: 

1. Maintenance (Repairs) 

Used for technical or facility-related issues. 

Examples: 

  • Air conditioning not working 
  • Broken TV 
  • Window not opening 

2. Housekeeping Tasks 

Used for cleanliness or room condition issues. 

Examples: 

  • Room not clean 
  • Issues with bedding 
  • General housekeeping complaints
  •  

What Is Not Supported 

  • Room service requests 

  • In-stay issues 


Only post-stay reviews are included in this integration. 


Which Reviews Are Included? 

Not all reviews create tasks. The system only processes: 

  • Reviews linked to a recent stay 
  • Typically within the last 14 days (may be adjusted) 


Why this matters: This ensures your team focuses on relevant, recent issues—not outdated feedback. 


Where to Find the Tasks 

All tasks created from MARA will appear directly in Flexkeeping, just like any other assignment. 

They will include: 

  • Property and room information 
  • Task type (maintenance or housekeeping) 
  • Description based on the guest review 

Your team can view, assign, and complete them just like any other Flexkeeping task. 


Assignment Setup (Important) 

To make the integration work, your property must have: 

  • At least one assignment code for maintenance 
  • At least one assignment code for housekeeping 

These are used to categorize tasks correctly. 

Example: 

  • “Repair” → for maintenance issues 
  • “Housekeeping Task” → for cleaning-related issues 

 

How Tasks Are Categorized 

MARA automatically separates issues into: 

  • Maintenance → Repair assignments 

  • Housekeeping → Task assignments 


This ensures the right team receives the right work. 


Room Mapping 

Tasks are assigned to the correct room using: 

  • Room number (from your PMS) 
  • Internal room ID (when available) 


This ensures accurate task placement and no confusion for staff. 


What Your Team Needs to Do 

Once the integration is active, your team does not need to manage the process manually. 


Hotel Admin / Management 

  • Monitor incoming tasks from guest feedback 
  • Ensure assignment codes are set up correctly 


Housekeeping & Maintenance Teams 

  • Receive tasks in Flexkeeping 
  • Complete them as usual 


MARA Users 

  • Review and respond to guest feedback 

  • Ensure relevant service tickets are created 

 

Tips From Team Flexkeeping 

  • Make sure assignment codes are set up before activating the integration 

  • Regularly review tasks created from guest feedback to spot trends 

  • Use this integration to improve communication between teams 

  • Focus on recent reviews to drive immediate operational improvements
