Choosing between ASTERIO by Septeo Hospitality and SIHOT by SIHOT hinges on your hotel's specific needs and operational priorities. Both systems aim to manage hotel operations effectively, but they diverge in terms of features, user experience, and market presence. With SIHOT having significantly more recent reviews and a higher overall rating, it currently holds a stronger position for hoteliers seeking reliable property management software. Are you ready to see which product suits your hotel best?
ASTERIO and SIHOT address core property management needs but differ in scope and usability. ASTERIO offers an all-in-one platform that integrates sales, revenue management, guest communication, and ancillary services within a single web-based system. SIHOT, on the other hand, provides a modular approach with extensive features for front desk, reservations, and multi-property management, available in flexible deployment options.
While ASTERIO claims to be "much more than a PMS," its lack of recent reviews and zero overall rating make it less transparent about user satisfaction. SIHOT, with 39 reviews in the last six months and a 4.77/5 rating, demonstrates stronger current adoption and trust among hoteliers. Do you prioritize comprehensive, familiar features, or innovative, all-in-one tools?
If your hotel needs a flexible, well-supported PMS with high user satisfaction, go with SIHOT. It's suited for properties of all sizes, especially those seeking multi-property management, robust integrations, and a modern user interface. For hotels looking for an adaptable, web-based platform that covers a broad range of activities beyond standard PMS functions, ASTERIO might seem appealing. However, its lack of recent reviews and absence of a clear reputation cast doubt on its current usability.
SIHOT’s extensive feature set—10 unique features, a broad integration network, and excellent onboarding—makes it the safer, more proven choice. ASTERIO’s focus on wellness modules and guest messaging may appeal if those are your priorities, but the lack of recent validation makes it risky for your decision now.
SIHOT scores 4.49/5 for ease of use, with recent reviews praising its intuitive interface, fast onboarding, and helpful support team. Many users mention that SIHOT’s multi-property management and dynamic reporting are straightforward, and the platform’s modular approach simplifies customization.
ASTERIO, with a 0/5 score and no recent reviews, offers no clear evidence of usability. Its web-based design sounds promising, but without recent user feedback, it’s impossible to gauge how intuitively your team will adopt it.
Edge: SIHOT.
SIHOT offers 38 shared features plus 10 unique functionalities, including a mobile app, task management, shift planning, integrated ID scanning, and housekeeper mobile tools. Its modular setup allows properties to select only what they need, enhancing operational flexibility.
ASTERIO provides six features exclusive to its platform, such as native email marketing, guest messaging, real-time reporting, and rules-based room assignments. While these are valuable, the total feature count and user feedback currently favor SIHOT’s extensive, proven capabilities.
Edge: SIHOT.
SIHOT’s support scores 4.62/5, with recent reviews praising its quick problem resolution, friendly staff, and comprehensive online training. Many hotel operators value the ongoing communication via CRM calls and the availability of local support, especially for multi-property management.
ASTERIO, lacking recent reviews and a support rating, provides no recent evidence of customer service quality. Without verified user feedback, SIHOT’s support remains the clear leader.
Edge: SIHOT.
SIHOT boasts 60 verified integrations, including key partners like SiteMinder, Profitroom, and Omnibees, enabling comprehensive connectivity with other hotel systems. Its support for custom interfaces further enhances its adaptability for complex hotel operations.
ASTERIO has 13 verified integrations, focusing on partners like Experience Hotel and Bowo. While sufficient for some hotels, fewer options limit its potential for scalable, multi-channel operations.
Edge: SIHOT.
SIHOT’s recent reviews yield a 4.77/5 rating from 39 users, primarily in Europe but also with global reach, reflecting strong satisfaction across hotel types, from boutique to city center properties. Hotels appreciate its flexibility, support, and feature set.
ASTERIO, with a 0/5 score and no recent reviews, cannot be rated by current users. Its lack of feedback suggests it is not yet widely adopted or validated in the market.
Edge: SIHOT.
Both products do not publicly disclose specific pricing details, as they likely depend on hotel size, feature packages, and deployment options. You should contact vendors directly for quotes tailored to your property’s needs.
Not ideal if you need a proven, well-supported platform with recent user reviews or multi-property management.
Not ideal if your operation is very small, or if your hotel operates in a region where SIHOT’s market presence is limited.
SIHOT provides a well-rated, extensively supported, and highly customizable PMS with a large number of integrations and recent user validation. Its strong reviews and ongoing updates make it the reliable choice for most hotels today.
ASTERIO aims to consolidate multiple hotel activities into a single system, with features for wellness and guest messaging. However, its lack of recent reviews and market validation suggest it’s less suitable for hoteliers seeking proven performance now.
If your hotel values a mature, highly rated solution with broad support, SIHOT is the recommended option. Choose ASTERIO only if your hotel can verify its current performance and if its specific features directly align with your operational model.
Note: Pricing details for both systems are unavailable; contact vendors for personalized quotes.
Property Management Systems pricing is rarely straightforward. Here is what we know from each vendor's public pricing data. Always request a custom quote for your property size.

| 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. |
