Can an AI bot handle both WhatsApp and Telegram guests?

Yes. HostPal runs both from one inbox, and a guest never knows or cares which engine is behind the reply. Whether they message your WhatsApp number or your Telegram bot, it's the same concierge drawing on the same property notes, and the answer goes back out on whichever channel they used.

The practical question isn't "can it," it's "which should I offer," and the honest answer is usually both, because it depends on where your guests come from. WhatsApp is the default almost everywhere and nearly every guest already has it, which makes it the safe primary. Telegram is free to run and strong with guests from Europe and the former-Soviet countries, but some guests would have to install it first, so it's a great second option rather than your only one.

So put both links in your booking confirmation and let the guest pick the one they already use, whether that's "message us on WhatsApp" or "or on Telegram," rather than forcing a choice on them. On your side it's still one place. You don't check two apps; every conversation lands in the same inbox tagged with its channel, and you can take over from the concierge on either without switching anything.
