Meta's natively multimodal, open-weight Mixture-of-Experts family (Scout and Maverick), free to download and self-host.

Not specifically recommended

Llama is not on our list for hotels & holiday accommodation. Usable for general work, but first look at the options we recommend for hotels & holiday accommodation.

What Llama does in hotels & hospitality

Core tasks in hotels & holiday accommodation
Where Llama is strong
  • Open weights, fully self-hostable
  • Fine-tunable on your own data
  • Very large context window (Scout 10M)
  • GPU-efficient (Mixture-of-Experts)

Llama has a specific GDPR concern. The Llama 4 Acceptable Use Policy prohibits the multimodal models for companies headquartered in the EU. Dutch companies may therefore not, under the licence terms, install the multimodal Llama 4 models themselves. Weigh this heavily before deploying it in hotels & hospitality.

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.

Self-hosting gives full data control within your own EU infrastructure, a strong GDPR argument.

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