Choosing a property management system (PMS) is a critical decision that can impact your hotel’s operations, guest satisfaction, and revenue. Both Erbon PMS and RoomRaccoon PMS aim to streamline hotel management but approach this goal differently. While Erbon focuses on comprehensive operational integration, RoomRaccoon offers an all-in-one platform tailored for small to mid-sized hotels and independent operators. Which one aligns better with your hotel’s needs?
Erbon PMS, rooted in software from Orlando, offers extensive integrations and management of operations, while RoomRaccoon, based in Breda, emphasizes ease of use and automation for smaller properties. Both promise to improve efficiency, but their core strengths diverge significantly. Are you ready to see which product fits your specific hotel profile best?
Erbon PMS and RoomRaccoon PMS aim to simplify hotel management—yet they approach this differently. Erbon PMS consolidates operations like reservations, housekeeping, finance, and POS into one platform, ideal for hotels seeking comprehensive control. RoomRaccoon instead combines PMS, booking engine, channel manager, and revenue management into a user-friendly, cloud-based system optimized for ease of use.
RoomRaccoon’s more recent review activity (169 reviews in the last six months) and higher overall ratings (4.88/5 vs. Erbon's 0/5) give it a clear advantage in current hotelier trust. Erbon’s fewer reviews and lack of recent feedback suggest a less tested presence in today’s market. Do you prefer a broad integration platform or an intuitive, easy-to-manage system?
If your hotel needs a broad, unified management platform that connects reservations, finance, POS, and operational tasks, Erbon PMS is the better choice. Its strengths lie in connecting all hotel operations into a single system, especially if you’re managing multiple departments or larger properties in the Americas and Latin America.
However, if your hotel prioritizes automation, simple interface, and integrations geared toward small to mid-sized hotels, RoomRaccoon is the clear winner. Its 169 recent reviews and high ratings reflect strong hotelier satisfaction, especially among independent properties and boutique hotels. For most hoteliers seeking ease and automation, RoomRaccoon offers a compelling, proven option.
Ease of use is a decisive factor—RoomRaccoon scores a 4.74/5 with 169 recent reviews, emphasizing its intuitive interface, simple onboarding, and user-friendly automation features. Hoteliers praise its straightforward reservation management and minimal training needs, with many describing it as “easy to learn and teach.”
Erbon PMS boasts a perfect 5/5 rating for ease of use, but this is based on only one review, making it less reliable. The limited feedback suggests it might be user-friendly, but the lack of recent reviews raises questions about its current usability. Edge: RoomRaccoon.
RoomRaccoon offers 26 unique features, including channel management, revenue management, booking engine, payment processing, guest CRM, multi-lingual support, and integrations with 88 partners. Its dynamic pricing, multi-channel distribution, and comprehensive automation stand out as key strengths.
Erbon PMS provides 7 exclusive features like task management, online check-in, guest app, rules-based room assignments, and 24/7 support. While these are useful, they lack the breadth and depth of RoomRaccoon’s features, especially in revenue management and integrations.
Edge: RoomRaccoon.
Erbon PMS’s support ratings are perfect 5/5, with reviews highlighting modern, round-the-clock support and easy communication. One review states: “Support is available 24/7, and they are very responsive,” reinforcing strong confidence.
RoomRaccoon, with a support rating of 4.53/5 from 169 reviews, offers responsive assistance, but some hotelier feedback mentions occasional delays during busy periods. Nonetheless, recent reviews praise their eagerness to help and proactive communication.
Edge: Erbon PMS.
RoomRaccoon’s 88 verified integrations far surpass Erbon’s 7, including popular solutions like TrustYou, SiteMinder, Sage, and Paxxio. Its extensive partner network allows seamless connection with booking engines, payment systems, and revenue tools.
Erbon’s integrations are limited to key partners like Omnibees, Profitroom, and Nonius, serving primarily Latin American and North American markets. While sufficient for some, it may restrict flexibility and automation compared to RoomRaccoon’s broader ecosystem.
Edge: RoomRaccoon.
RoomRaccoon’s recent reviews (169 in the last six months) yield an overall rating of 4.88/5, with hoteliers praising its simplicity, automation, and revenue tools. Independent hotels and boutique properties particularly appreciate its user-friendly design, with many reviews mentioning “saving time” and “increased revenue.”
Erbon Software’s review count remains at just one, with no recent feedback, and a rating of 0/5. This lack of recent hotelier input makes it hard to assess, and the current data favors RoomRaccoon.
Edge: RoomRaccoon.
Erbon PMS does not publicly disclose its pricing; it appears to follow a bespoke, possibly custom, pricing model. RoomRaccoon charges a base fee of $1,000, with no additional implementation or per-room costs, making it straightforward for smaller hotels to budget.
If cost transparency is critical, RoomRaccoon’s predictable flat fee may be advantageous. The absence of clear pricing for Erbon suggests it may be more suited for larger, enterprise-level hotels with custom needs.
Not ideal if:
Not ideal if:
RoomRaccoon is a leading choice for small to mid-sized hotels looking for a straightforward, all-in-one PMS. Its high user ratings, recent reviews, and extensive integrations make it a reliable partner for automating reservations, revenue, and guest communication.
Erbon PMS offers a broad management system, ideal for larger properties or those needing deep operational control, especially in the Americas. However, its limited recent reviews and lower current market visibility make it less compelling for most hoteliers today.
For most hotels seeking a modern, scalable, and well-supported solution, RoomRaccoon is the clear choice. If your hotel operates on a larger scale with complex needs, consider Erbon, but be prepared for a less tested platform in today’s market.

| 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.

| Customer Centricity |
|
How customer-centric is this organization?

| Reach, Staying Power & Resources |
|
How extensive is this company's reach and resourcing?
