Choosing the right property management system (PMS) can make or break your hotel’s operations and guest satisfaction. Both Acomos by Acomos and RoomRaccoon PMS aim to streamline hotel management, yet they differ significantly in scope, user experience, and market presence. Your decision hinges on your hotel’s size, complexity, and specific operational needs—so which system is the better fit?
Acomos offers a more traditional, straightforward PMS experience with core features, while RoomRaccoon provides a highly rated, all-in-one platform that many hoteliers find easier to adopt and more robust. But which one truly aligns with your priorities?
Both systems address your need to simplify daily operations—booking, check-in, and communication—but they do so from different angles. Acomos is an established, long-standing platform with a focus on traditional property management tasks, especially suited for small to medium-sized hotels that value stability and simplicity. RoomRaccoon, on the other hand, is a modern, cloud-based solution with a broad feature set aimed at independent hotels seeking automation and revenue growth.
The contrast is clear: Acomos has a limited review base, with only five reviews and no recent activity, whereas RoomRaccoon boasts 169 reviews with recent feedback—giving it a more reliable picture of current performance. Does your hotel prioritize a proven, straightforward system, or are you looking for a dynamic, feature-rich platform that adapts with your growth?
If your hotel needs a user-friendly, all-in-one solution that integrates booking, channel management, invoicing, and guest communication, RoomRaccoon is the clear choice. Its 4.88/5 overall rating from 169 reviews—many from small, independent hotels—reflects high satisfaction and frequent praise for automation, ease of use, and support.
However, if your hotel requires a simpler system, perhaps with a focus on core property management features and online visibility, and you’re comfortable with a smaller, less active user base, Acomos might suffice. But given RoomRaccoon’s extensive features, superior user ratings, and recent reviews, it’s the more reliable, scalable option for most independent hotels.
RoomRaccoon’s user interface scores 4.74/5, with many users describing it as intuitive, easy to learn, and quick to adopt. Reviewers consistently highlight how new staff can be trained fast and how the platform simplifies daily tasks like booking, check-in, and invoicing.
Conversely, Acomos has a 3.5/5 ease-of-use rating, with feedback noting that it is “very easy to learn,” but some users report a less modern interface and limited onboarding support. The recent reviews for RoomRaccoon reinforce its reputation for user-friendliness—making it the clear winner here.
Edge: RoomRaccoon
RoomRaccoon offers 31 features exclusive to its platform, including a mobile app, integrated CRS, multi-currency support, yield management, online check-in, and automated space optimization. Its feature set caters well to independent hotels seeking automation, dynamic pricing, and multi-channel distribution, with real-time reporting and employee messaging.
Acomos, with only five unique features like guest CRM, online support, and email marketing, offers a more limited toolkit. It lacks many of the automation, revenue management, and integrations that RoomRaccoon provides, making it less adaptable for growth.
Edge: RoomRaccoon
RoomRaccoon’s support scores 4.53/5, with many recent reviews praising quick, helpful responses and proactive onboarding. Users often mention how the support team works to resolve issues rapidly, which is crucial during busy periods.
Acomos’s support scores 3.3/5, with reviews citing slow responses and frustration with attitude and problem resolution. Its onboarding process appears less structured and less recent feedback is available to gauge current support quality.
Edge: RoomRaccoon
RoomRaccoon’s integration count stands at 88 verified partners, including popular solutions like SiteMinder, Sage, and payment gateways, offering extensive flexibility. Its 2-way real-time integrations facilitate smooth operations across booking, channel management, and accounting.
Acomos, with only 2 verified partners, has a limited integration ecosystem, primarily offering listings on StayBooked, Google Hotels, and SiteMinder. This restricts its ability to connect with a range of hospitality tools.
Edge: RoomRaccoon
RoomRaccoon boasts an overall rating of 4.88/5 from 169 reviews, with many small hotel and boutique operators praising its simplicity and automation. Recent reviews consistently highlight increased efficiency and revenue, with one guesthouse experiencing a RevPAR increase of 331%.
Acomos has just 5 reviews, with an overall rating of 3.1/5, and one very negative review citing system bugs and poor support. Its limited review activity makes it less reliable as an indicator of quality today.
Edge: RoomRaccoon
Acomos’s pricing is not publicly available, which suggests it may be tailored or more traditional in its billing—possibly involving custom quotes. In contrast, RoomRaccoon charges a flat $1,000 monthly fee, with no additional implementation or setup costs, providing clarity and predictability.
The lack of transparent pricing for Acomos could be a concern for your budgeting process, whereas RoomRaccoon’s straightforward fee makes it easier to evaluate ROI.

Acomos provides a simple, traditional property management system that may suit very small or straightforward hotels primarily interested in online visibility and basic operations. However, its limited reviews, outdated interface, and lack of recent activity make it less appealing for modern hoteliers.
RoomRaccoon stands out as the more capable, user-rated, and actively supported platform, especially for independent hotels seeking automation, revenue tools, and seamless integrations. Its high review count and recent positive feedback clearly position it as the stronger choice for most small to medium-sized properties.
Choose Acomos if:
Choose RoomRaccoon if:
In conclusion, RoomRaccoon’s more recent reviews, higher ratings, and extensive feature set make it the clear leader for most independent hotels today.

Some reviewers mention limitations when managing reservations within the same room category, especially when guests need to be moved from room to room. That points to a need for smoother room assignment handling in busy hotels with more complex occupancy patterns.

The HT Score is a composite ranking that considers 4 criteria groups and over a dozen variables to help hoteliers objectively compare hotel technology products. Acomos has an HT Score of 0 and RoomRaccoon has 77. Here is how the score is calculated.
| Criteria Group | Weight | What It Measures |
|---|---|---|
| Customer Ratings & Reviews |
|
How highly do users recommend this product? Ratings Score, Review Volume, Share of Voice, Review Depth, Review Recency, Success Stories ▾ The most heavily weighted factor. Analyzes average satisfaction ratings (likelihood to recommend, ease of use, support, ROI), total review count relative to category peers, review recency (at least 20 reviews in the trailing 6 months), and share of voice across unique hotel clients to detect selection bias. |
| Partner Ecosystem |
|
How highly do tech partners recommend this company? Partner Recommendations, Integration Quantity, Integration Quality ▾ Evaluates partner recommendations as expert votes of confidence, the number of verified integrations, and ecosystem quality — the average HT Scores of integration partners. Products with higher-quality integration ecosystems are more likely to deliver a connected tech stack. |
| Customer Centricity |
|
How customer-centric is this organization? Certified Support, Review Consistency, Profile Completeness ▾ Assesses whether the company has earned HTR Customer Support Certification, maintains consistent review collection over time (an indicator of feedback-driven culture), and keeps product profiles complete with capabilities, screenshots, pricing, and features. |
| Reach, Staying Power & Resources |
|
How extensive is this company's reach and resourcing? Geographic Reach, Staying Power, Company Resources, Trending Score ▾ Measures global presence (countries and regions served), years in business as a stability proxy, team headcount as a resource proxy, and a trending score based on trailing-twelve-month buyer inquiries, reviews, partner recommendations, and press activity. |
Customer ratings and reviews are by far the most important factor in the HT Score algorithm. HTR does not accept payment for higher rankings. All reviews are verified — only hotel industry practitioners with confirmed affiliations can submit ratings. View full HT Score methodology →
