About this template
A survey email that a hotel, inn or guesthouse sends the day after checkout. It asks one question and makes the answer a single tap, so more guests reply. The opening is a photo of a white hotel on the shore of a dark forest lake, and the question sits on it in large live text.
Three stacked buttons carry the answers, from a filled button for the happy reply to two outline buttons for the middle and the low one. A short muted line under them says who reads the answers and what happens when something went wrong, which makes an honest reply feel safe. After a thin divider, two photo rows ask for optional ratings of the room and the breakfast, each with its own small button.
Sea teal, white and a soft display serif keep the tone calm and grown up. Plenty of white space around the buttons keeps the question easy to answer with a thumb.
Point the three buttons to your survey tool with the answer in the link, then send it automatically after each stay.
