Choosing a booking engine is critical for your hotel's ability to capture direct bookings and manage online sales efficiently. While CENTROTEL offers little to no recent reviews or measurable performance, Paraty Tech shines with over 115 reviews in the past six months, a 97% likelihood to recommend, and an average customer rating of 88.86 out of 100. Given the data, Paraty Tech clearly leads in current hotelier satisfaction and proven results.
Both products aim to streamline your booking process, but their approaches differ sharply. CENTROTEL appears to be a broad telecommunication system without recent or relevant hotel booking reviews, whereas Paraty Tech is a dedicated, feature-rich booking engine with significant positive feedback. Which solution aligns better with your hotel’s specific needs?
CENTROTEL is a telecommunications management platform that automates billing, monitors usage, and manages customer support, primarily designed for business communication rather than hotel bookings. Paraty Tech, on the other hand, is a hotel-focused booking engine with extensive functionality, including dynamic rates, multi-currency support, and direct booking optimizations. The key difference lies in their core focus: CENTROTEL is a telecom tool, while Paraty Tech specializes in hotel reservations and revenue growth.
Paraty Tech's recent reviews emphasize its speed, ease of use, and ability to increase direct bookings, with 97% of hoteliers recommending it. Conversely, CENTROTEL has no recent hotel-specific reviews or ratings, indicating it may not serve your booking needs directly. Are you seeking a dedicated hotel booking platform or a telecom management system? The contrast is clear.
If your hotel needs a booking engine that directly boosts reservations, simplifies website integration, and offers advanced marketing tools, go with Paraty Tech. Its 48 features—including multi-lingual support, loyalty integrations, and A/B testing—are designed explicitly to increase direct sales and optimize revenue.
If your hotel requires telecommunications management, customer support, or billing automation, CENTROTEL might be relevant. However, with no recent reviews, zero ratings, and no demonstrated hotel booking capabilities, CENTROTEL isn't a viable choice for your booking needs. For direct bookings and revenue growth, Paraty Tech is the clear winner.
Paraty Tech boasts a user rating of 4.61 out of 5, with recent reviews praising its intuitive interface, fast onboarding, and strong customer support. Reviewers highlight how easy it is to navigate and manage campaigns with their dedicated account managers, emphasizing the platform's user-friendly design.
CENTROTEL, meanwhile, has a 0/5 rating, with no recent user feedback available to evaluate its usability. Given its lack of user reviews and apparent focus on telecom management, it’s unlikely to match the ease of use that Paraty Tech offers.
Edge: Paraty Tech.
Paraty Tech offers 48 unique features, including multi-currency, multi-lingual support, flexible rate plans, real-time channel management, and in-house revenue tools—many tailored to optimize direct bookings. CENTROTEL provides no distinct features for hotel booking or revenue management, focusing instead on telecommunication automation.
The breadth and hotel-specific nature of Paraty Tech’s features give it a distinct advantage. Its capabilities directly target increasing bookings, managing rates, and enhancing guest experience—areas CENTROTEL doesn't address.
Edge: Paraty Tech.
Paraty Tech's support ratings are outstanding, with a 4.83 out of 5 score and recent reviews praising their fast, professional, and personalized assistance. Customers confirm that their team provides continuous, proactive support, with one hotel expressing satisfaction over the quick resolution of issues.
CENTROTEL has no recent reviews or ratings, and with no customer feedback, its support quality remains unverified. For ongoing help and a positive support experience, Paraty Tech is clearly superior.
Edge: Paraty Tech.
Paraty Tech integrates with 28 verified partners, including major channel managers, payment providers, and marketing platforms like SiteMinder, Google Analytics, and TripAdvisor. CENTROTEL offers no verified integrations, limiting its ability to connect with other hotel systems or third-party services.
The extensive list of integrations in Paraty Tech facilitates smoother operations, better data insight, and increased flexibility. In contrast, CENTROTEL's lack of integrations diminishes its utility as a hotel booking platform.
Edge: Paraty Tech.
Paraty Tech has a recent NPS score of 9.69 out of 10 (97% recommendation rate), with reviews highlighting its ease of use, effectiveness in increasing direct bookings, and dedicated support. It is favored across various hotel segments, including boutique hotels, resorts, and city-center properties.
CENTROTEL has no recent reviews or ratings, making any comparison impossible. The hotel industry’s recent feedback overwhelmingly favors Paraty Tech for booking and revenue management.
Edge: Paraty Tech.
Paraty Tech charges a monthly fee of $1,300, with no free tier or trial available, offering a transparent pricing structure. CENTROTEL's pricing is unspecified, and it is likely not marketed as a hotel booking solution, making direct cost comparison difficult.
Given the clear pricing for Paraty Tech, your hotel can evaluate ROI more confidently. CENTROTEL’s lack of pricing details suggests it may not be suited for your hotel’s booking needs.
Not ideal if:
Not ideal if:
CENTROTEL specializes in telecommunications management, not hotel reservations, and lacks recent reviews or hotel-specific features. It’s not suitable as a booking engine and won't help your hotel increase direct sales.
Paraty Tech is a dedicated, hotel-centric booking engine with proven recent success, high hotelier satisfaction, and a suite of features explicitly designed to maximize direct bookings and revenue. If your goal is to grow your online sales and improve guest experience, Paraty Tech is the clear choice.
For hotels aiming to boost direct reservations, streamline online management, and access extensive support, Paraty Tech stands out. CENTROTEL simply doesn’t provide the hotel booking capabilities necessary for today’s competitive market.

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. CENTROTEL has an HT Score of 0 and Paraty Tech has 89. 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 →
