CheckMyStay vs Revyu.ai: A Clear Hotel Verdict in About 10 Seconds, No Chat Needed

By Rustam Akhmetov ·

You've been scrolling reviews for an hour. You still don't know.

You know how it goes. You've found a hotel on Booking.com that looks right. The price works, the photos look good and the score looks fine. Then you open the reviews and you're still reading them 45 minutes later.

One guest says the room was spotless. The next one talks about a broken air conditioner. Someone else says the street noise ruined their sleep. You scroll back up and open another tab. The deal you were looking at might sell out while you're still deciding.

On CheckMyStay, a typical hotel has around 600 guest reviews. Nobody reads 600 reviews. So most of us skim a few, trust our gut and hope it works out.

AI review tools can fix this. Revyu.ai is one of the best-known. It says it is "Trusted by 3,500+ travelers" and has "2,125,000+ Reviews Summarized". So which one should you install before your next trip? Here's an honest comparison.

Two different ways to cut through reviews

Revyu.ai is built around a conversation. Its site highlights an "Interactive AI chat for hotel Q&A". You can "Ask any question about a hotel" and get "instant, sourced answers from thousands of real reviews", with "Source references for every answer" (source). It also lists "Fake review detection" and "Personalized category filtering" (source).

If you already know exactly what to ask, like "Is the pool heated in March?", that's a strong feature.

CheckMyStay is built around a verdict. You don't need to think of good questions first. You open a hotel page on Booking.com and click the purple CheckMyStay button. In about 10 seconds you get:

  • ✅ Positive points: what guests really love
  • ⚠️ Negative points: what keeps going wrong
  • 🎯 An overall verdict: the bottom line, ready to act on

The links to the original reviews stay in place, so you can check any point yourself. You get a clear picture of the hotel without writing a single prompt.

Prices you can see up front. No subscription trap.

Many tools start free and leave you guessing about the paid part. CheckMyStay publishes its pricing:

  • Free: 3 hotel analyses every 30 days. No card needed.
  • Trip Pass: $4.99 once for unlimited hotels for 30 days. Then it ends on its own. It doesn't renew automatically, so there's no cancellation page to find.
  • 14-day refund on the Trip Pass.

You're planning a trip, not signing up for something you'll pay for every month. Buy one pass while you're choosing hotels, compare as many as you want, and you're done.

Who should pick which?

Choose Revyu.ai if you enjoy asking an AI assistant detailed questions about a hotel and want its fake review detection.

Choose CheckMyStay if you want to:

  • stop reading reviews and get a clear yes-or-no feeling about a hotel in about 10 seconds
  • see the strengths and the recurring problems side by side, in the same format for every hotel you compare
  • compare many hotels quickly without writing a single question
  • know exactly what you'll pay: $4.99 once, with no automatic renewal

If you book on Booking.com and have five tabs open, CheckMyStay is made for you. You get the same clear format for every hotel, so comparing them takes seconds.

A product that keeps getting better

CheckMyStay is still getting regular updates. Recent work includes a new extension release (1.0.6) with bullet-point summaries, public hotel report pages and a much lighter, faster website. You're getting a product that keeps improving.

Your next trip starts before the booking

Picture this: you open a hotel, click once, and 10 seconds later you know what guests love, what they complain about and whether it's right for you. You book with confidence and spend the saved hour on the trip itself.

Good rooms at good prices don't stay available while you scroll. The next great deal may be gone before you finish reading page 12 of the reviews.

👉 Install CheckMyStay for free and analyze your first 3 hotels today. No card needed. When you're ready to compare every option, one $4.99 Trip Pass covers your whole trip and then ends on its own.
