Choosing between Better.Guest Hotel App by Betterspace GmbH and Staymyway's Mobile App hinges on your hotel’s specific needs. Both aim to improve guest engagement and streamline operations, but they differ significantly in features, market presence, and user feedback. Betterspace offers a comprehensive, well-reviewed platform with extensive functionalities, while Staymyway provides a simple, mobile key solution with limited reviews and features. Which aligns better with your hotel’s goals?
Betterspace’s Hotel App stands out as a full-service digital guest engagement platform, offering features like digital directories, energy management, in-room tablets, and guest messaging — all of which are highly reviewed and recent, with 23 reviews averaging 4.91/5. Its focus on broad functionality makes it suitable for hotels that want to automate many guest touchpoints. Conversely, Staymyway’s app centers on mobile key access and basic guest communication, with no recent reviews or detailed feedback, making it more of a straightforward access solution.
If your hotel requires a rich digital environment that reduces paper, enhances guest service, and offers extensive integrations, Betterspace is the stronger option. If your priority is quick, mobile room access without extensive digital services, Staymyway could suffice—but with no recent user feedback, its effectiveness remains uncertain.
If your hotel needs a full-featured guest app with high ratings, multiple integrations, and proven support, go with Betterspace. It’s ideal for mid-sized to large properties, especially in Europe or Asia-Pacific, seeking automation, energy management, and detailed guest interaction.
If your hotel primarily requires mobile key access and basic communication tools, and you operate in the U.S. or a market where mobile room entry is a priority, Staymyway may be appropriate. However, the lack of recent reviews and limited feature set make it less reliable for more complex needs.
Betterspace has a high ease-of-use rating at 4.78/5, with reviews praising its simple menu navigation and straightforward configuration interface. Hotel staff report that onboarding is smooth, and users appreciate the app’s customization options, despite some backend interface speed issues.
Staymyway offers minimal information about its UI/UX, and with no recent reviews, there’s no user feedback to gauge ease of use. Given the absence of detailed reviews, it’s hard to determine how intuitive or user-friendly the app is.
Edge: Better.Guest Hotel App.
Betterspace provides 11 unique features including mobile check-in, guest messaging, request management, payments, hotel directory, local recommendations, room service ordering, mobile checkout, and multilingual support. It also offers energy management and direct communication tools, which are absent in Staymyway.
Staymyway’s feature set appears limited to mobile key access, notifications, and basic communication, with no additional functionalities. Based on available data, Betterspace’s feature richness and versatility give it a clear advantage.
Edge: Better.Guest Hotel App.
Betterspace’s customer support scores 4.61/5, with reviews describing their support as competent, quick, and helpful. Users mention positive cooperation and responsive service, although some note backend performance issues.
Staymyway has no available review data or support ratings, making it impossible to evaluate the quality of its customer service. Given the transparent and positive feedback for Betterspace, it clearly leads in support quality.
Edge: Better.Guest Hotel App.
Betterspace integrates with 27 verified partners, including major hospitality systems like Oracle Hospitality, Winhotel, and TrustYou, along with many specialized solutions. Staymyway connects with just 7 verified partners, including WebRezPro and Cloudbeds, but lacks the extensive ecosystem Betterspace offers.
If seamless integration with property management systems and third-party solutions is critical, Betterspace’s broader partner network is a significant benefit. Staymyway’s limited integrations constrain its flexibility.
Edge: Better.Guest Hotel App.
Betterspace has a strong overall rating of 4.91/5 from 23 recent reviews, with a 92% likelihood to recommend. It is widely appreciated across diverse hotel segments, including city center and boutique hotels, particularly in Europe and Asia-Pacific.
Staymyway has no recent reviews or scores, making it impossible to gauge user satisfaction. The high rating and recommendation rate for Betterspace strongly suggest it’s the preferred product in the current market.
Edge: Better.Guest Hotel App.
Both products do not publish explicit pricing details, indicating they likely operate on bespoke quotes based on hotel size and needs. Betterspace requires a direct inquiry—no freemium, flat fee, or trial information is available—while Staymyway similarly offers no transparent pricing.
Your hotel should contact each vendor directly for estimates. Based on market norms, expect Betterspace’s comprehensive service to be priced accordingly, possibly higher than a basic mobile key solution from Staymyway.

Not ideal if your hotel:
Betterspace offers a complete digital guest experience platform with high user ratings, extensive features, and broad integrations, making it suitable for hotels aiming for a modern, automated environment. It excels in reducing paper, improving communication, and energy management, especially in Europe and Asia-Pacific markets.
Staymyway, meanwhile, is a straightforward mobile key solution ideal for hotels prioritizing contactless access and basic communication. However, the lack of recent reviews and a limited feature set make it less reliable for hotels seeking a full digital engagement strategy.
If your goal is to adopt a comprehensive digital guest platform with proven support, go with Better.Guest Hotel App. Its extensive feature set and high satisfaction ratings make it the clear choice.
If your primary need is mobile room access and you operate in a market where simplicity wins, Staymyway may be enough—but proceed cautiously given the absence of recent user feedback.
Ultimately, for hotels aiming for a modern, integrated, and highly-rated solution, Betterspace’s platform is the recommended choice.

| 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 →
