Amenitiz and Cloudbeds both serve the hotel management software market, but they diverge sharply in scope, scale, and target properties. Amenitiz focuses on independent hotels, B&Bs, and guesthouses with 3–30 rooms primarily across European countries like France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal. It offers an all-in-one native platform integrating PMS, booking engine, channel management, website builder, and payment processing built in-house. Cloudbeds, by contrast, targets a global audience with a broad portfolio that includes boutique hotels, hostels, vacation rentals, and small to medium groups across 107 countries. It provides a unified platform that connects operations, revenue, distribution, and guest experience enhanced by AI-driven demand forecasting.
Both products address the problem of fragmented hotel operations by consolidating reservation management, channel distribution, and guest engagement into a single system. This reduces manual work, overbookings, and operational complexity while increasing direct bookings and revenue visibility.
If your property is a small independent hotel, B&B, or guesthouse with fewer than 30 rooms located in Europe, Amenitiz fits well because of its localized regulatory compliance (e.g., NF525 in France) and native multilingual support in French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and English. Amenitiz’s customizable website templates have helped users increase direct bookings from 15% to over 70%, according to multiple reviews, and its all-in-one platform minimizes onboarding complexity. However, Amenitiz’s review volume is low (49 total, 6 recent) and customer support responsiveness has been criticized in multiple reviews, limiting confidence in its scalability.
If you operate a small to medium property, boutique hotel, hostel, or multi-property group anywhere worldwide, Cloudbeds is the stronger choice. It holds a 4.6/5 overall rating backed by 1,597 reviews with 185 in the last six months, and its scalable platform supports 107 countries with broad integrations (208 partners). Cloudbeds excels at unifying PMS, channel management, booking engine, and guest communication with advanced features like automated night audits and revenue management modules. Its ease of use (4.6/5) and onboarding scores (4.5/5) reflect widespread staff adoption. Cloudbeds suits properties seeking a mature, extensible platform with strong global support.
Cloudbeds leads ease of use with a 4.6/5 rating across 1,597 reviews, compared to Amenitiz’s 4.1/5 from 49 reviews, reflecting more representative feedback. Cloudbeds users consistently cite an intuitive interface that speeds up staff training and daily operations, with drag-and-drop reservation changes and a clear calendar view simplifying front desk work. Amenitiz is praised for an intuitive design and straightforward website builder, but reviewers mention a steeper learning curve for some features and limited mobile app utility.
Onboarding reviews favor Cloudbeds (4.5/5) over Amenitiz (3.9/5). Cloudbeds offers fast implementations with extensive training resources, enabling properties to go live quickly. Amenitiz’s onboarding is generally positive but has isolated reports of delayed support and lengthy setup times. Staff adoption benefits from Cloudbeds’ clean UI and responsive support, while Amenitiz’s smaller review base and reported support delays may slow operator confidence.
Edge: Cloudbeds.
Cloudbeds includes 45 unique hotel-relevant features beyond the 52 shared with Amenitiz, whereas Amenitiz offers only 3 exclusive features. Amenitiz’s unique capabilities include a native Guest CRM, Gift Vouchers, and an integrated ID & Passport Scanner, which can simplify guest identification and promotions for small properties.
Cloudbeds offers extensive functionality that alters operational workflows significantly: PMS connectivity enables real-time room and rate management; its analytics dashboard provides detailed reporting; inventory management and automated night audits reduce manual tasks; multi-currency and multi-lingual support cater to diverse guest demographics; integrated payment terminals and card readers streamline checkouts; and built-in email marketing with pre- and post-stay messaging improves guest engagement. Cloudbeds also supports complex operations like group bookings, housekeeping modules, employee messaging, and rules-based room assignments, which facilitate staff coordination and upsell opportunities.
The scale and depth of Cloudbeds’ features support property teams seeking advanced operational control, while Amenitiz’s limited feature set fits smaller European independents focusing on direct bookings and basic guest management.
Edge: Cloudbeds.
Cloudbeds outperforms Amenitiz in customer support ratings (4.4/5 vs. 3.9/5) and onboarding (4.5/5 vs. 3.9/5), based on significantly larger review volumes. Cloudbeds users praise quick, knowledgeable responses and extensive training resources, though some note occasional delays or chatbot friction. Amenitiz reviews reveal mixed experiences; while some highlight attentive support teams responsive to channel manager issues, others report delayed email responses, weekend unavailability, and frustration with legal compliance and trial period handling.
The difference is operationally important: Cloudbeds’ responsive support accelerates problem resolution and reduces downtime, crucial for hotels relying on software for daily operations. Amenitiz’s inconsistent support may increase operational risk, especially during peak periods or onboarding.
Edge: Cloudbeds.
Cloudbeds has 208 verified integration partners, dwarfing Amenitiz’s 5. Both share two common integrations: Lightspeed and CheKin. Amenitiz’s exclusive integrations include Qualitelis and Vikey S.r.l, which may be relevant for European properties focusing on guest feedback and smart locks.
Cloudbeds’ extensive ecosystem includes key integrations with channel management partners, keyless entry systems (FLEXIPASS Keyless Mobile Access), POS systems, accounting software, and local OTAs worldwide. This ecosystem supports properties aiming to customize their tech stack and automate niche workflows. For hotels wanting seamless connectivity to diverse tools across global markets, Cloudbeds offers a clear advantage.
Edge: Cloudbeds.
Overall ratings are close: Amenitiz 4.4/5 from 49 reviews, Cloudbeds 4.6/5 from 1,597 reviews. Amenitiz’s recent review volume (6 in 6 months) is too low to confirm current sentiment, while Cloudbeds maintains a 4.8/5 score with 185 recent reviews, indicating strong, stable satisfaction.
Segment ratings favor Cloudbeds for boutique hotels (4.6/5 vs. Amenitiz 4.1/5 across fewer reviews), bed & breakfasts (4.5/5 vs. 4.4/5), and hostels (Cloudbeds 4.6/5; Amenitiz has only 1 review). Luxury hotels rate Cloudbeds at 4.6/5 (260 reviews) compared to Amenitiz’s 4.7/5 (6 reviews), but smaller sample size limits Amenitiz’s reliability. Vacation rentals also favor Cloudbeds (4.6/5 from 157 reviews) over Amenitiz (4/5 from 16 reviews).
Cloudbeds’ larger and broader review base across more segments and countries means its ratings are more representative and reliable for prospective buyers.
Edge: Even.
Amenitiz charges a base price of $600 with no published freemium, monthly flat, or per-room pricing, and does not offer a trial. Cloudbeds’ base price is $500 with similar pricing transparency. Neither product publishes per-room or fully itemized fees publicly, and neither provides a trial period.
This pricing proximity means cost differences should be evaluated in the context of included features, integrations, and support quality rather than sticker price alone.
Not ideal if:
Not ideal if:
Amenitiz and Cloudbeds address hotel management challenges but cater to fundamentally different operator profiles. Amenitiz centers on small European independents needing an integrated solution that bundles PMS, channel management, website, and payments with localized compliance. Cloudbeds serves a global, diverse hotel audience with extensive features, a large integration ecosystem, and AI-enhanced revenue and guest management tools.
Choose Amenitiz if you operate a small European property seeking a native, all-in-one system that boosts direct bookings through customizable websites and supports regional legal frameworks. Its localized support and simple platform offer fast onboarding for properties under 30 rooms, especially B&Bs and guesthouses.
Choose Cloudbeds if your hotel spans multiple countries or requires a mature, scalable platform with broad features like automated night audits, revenue management, and multi-property support. Cloudbeds’ large verified partner network and higher customer support ratings make it the safer choice for properties needing global reach, advanced functionality, and quick staff adoption.

A few reviews call out gaps in the product packaging, especially the lack of certain tools at no extra cost and the absence of an integrated guest review system. These comments suggest the core platform is strong, but some buyers may need to budget for add-ons or accept missing functionality.

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. Amenitiz has an HT Score of 69 and Cloudbeds has 100. 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 →
