What DeepSeek does in hotels & accommodation

Core tasks in hotels & holiday accommodation
Where DeepSeek is strong
  • Very low API costs
  • Open weights (MIT), self-hostable
  • Strong at reasoning, maths and code
  • Large context window (1M tokens)

DeepSeek has a specific GDPR point of attention. The DeepSeek service stores personal data in China and was blocked by the Italian regulator in January 2025. Not advisable for regulated sectors, unless you host the model yourself within the EU. Weigh this heavily before deploying it in hotels & accommodation.

Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Caution

You handle a lot of personal data: names, contact details, passport numbers at check-in, payment details and sometimes requests that reveal something about health or religion (diet, accessibility). Sign a data processing agreement with every provider and ask where the data is stored, which language model sits behind the tool and which sub-processors are involved. Most hotel platforms do not make that public. Since August 2026, the EU AI Act requires you to tell guests they are speaking with an AI system and not a human. Staff who work with AI must understand what the system does (AI literacy). Only use guest profiles for marketing if you have a legal basis for it (consent, or legitimate interest with an opt-out). For dynamic pricing, set a minimum and maximum price and check that the AI assistant does not promise prices or conditions that are incorrect.

The DeepSeek service stores data in China and uses it for training by default (with an opt-out). Only an EU self-hosted variant of the open weights is defensible for sensitive data.

Rule of thumb Use the business variant with a data processing agreement, and keep a human in the loop for decisions that matter.
