eviivo Suite and roommaster HMS both serve as comprehensive hotel management systems but diverge significantly in their ideal hotel fit and operational scope. eviivo Suite excels in supporting small to medium independent accommodations such as bed & breakfasts, boutique hotels, and vacation rentals. Its focus on intuitive workflows, automation, and streamlined guest communication suits properties prioritizing ease of use and direct booking growth. Conversely, roommaster HMS targets a broader range of properties including resorts, motels, and branded hotels, offering deeper operational complexity with modules for revenue management, POS, and group bookings.
Both systems primarily address the challenge of centralizing reservations, front desk operations, and channel management to reduce manual errors and improve guest experience. They help hotels manage multi-channel distribution and streamline daily workflows, but eviivo leans toward simplifying operations with automation while roommaster offers extensive features for properties with more complex needs.
If your property is a small independent hotel, bed & breakfast, or vacation rental—segments where eviivo has over 200 reviews and ratings above 4.7—you should choose eviivo Suite. Its intuitive interface, automation for guest messaging, and centralized booking engine reduce manual work and support direct booking growth, as seen in multiple case studies of small and medium properties increasing revenue by 10-124%. This is supported by 245 reviews with an overall rating of 4.8 and a 95% likelihood to recommend.
If you operate a resort, motel, or branded hotel with complex workflows including POS, spa modules, and group bookings, roommaster HMS fits better. It has 165 reviews and a 4.4 overall rating, with strong adoption in resorts (4.4/5 from 76 reviews) and motels (4.5/5 from 22 reviews). Its 270+ built-in reports, drag-and-drop reservation management, and extensive integrations better serve properties needing detailed operational control. However, its interface is noted as outdated by some reviewers, and initial setup complexity can delay ROI.
For hotels in boutique and city center segments, either product may fit, but eviivo leads boutique hotels with a 4.8 rating across 53 reviews versus roommaster’s 4.4 across 62 reviews. Data is thinner for some segments; for example, roommaster has only 10 vacation rental reviews, so conclusions there are less definitive.
eviivo Suite and roommaster HMS have comparable ease of use and onboarding scores: eviivo’s ease of use is 4.5/5 and onboarding 4.4/5; roommaster’s ease of use is 4.3/5 and onboarding 4.2/5. Reviewers of eviivo emphasize its intuitive navigation, with front desk staff and concierges praising quick training and a user-friendly promo system that reduces setup time from an hour to five minutes. The mobile and housekeeping apps further simplify workflows for remote teams.
Roommaster users find the interface functional but sometimes outdated and slower, affecting staff adoption. Several reviews mention a learning curve during setup, though once configured, daily operations become more straightforward. Reviewers highlight drag-and-drop reservation management as helpful but note some inefficiencies due to interface design.
Both products receive mixed feedback on support accessibility during onboarding, but neither has a rating gap over 0.3 points in ease or onboarding to decisively lead.
Edge: Even.
roommaster HMS offers 25 unique hotel-specific features beyond the 44 shared with eviivo Suite, including a Point of Sale system, spa and wellness modules, a channel manager, revenue management, group functionality, and integrated payment terminals with card readers. These features enable complex properties to manage onsite sales, wellness services, and large group bookings directly within the PMS, reducing the need for third-party software. roommaster also supports 24/7 online support and GDPR compliance, important for multi-national properties.
eviivo Suite, with 10 unique features, focuses on operational simplicity and guest communication enhancements: its drag-and-drop tape chart aids front desk room management visually; integrated central reservation system (CRS) and centralized messaging streamline multi-channel communications and guest relations. The mobile app and housekeeping mobile tool facilitate management on the go, while tablet/kiosk check-in and online checkout reduce front desk bottlenecks. Automated assignment of housekeeping tasks improves coordination.
The operational impact is that eviivo emphasizes reducing manual work for small teams and supports direct booking growth, whereas roommaster accommodates multi-department coordination and financial integrations needed by larger or more complex properties.
Edge: roommaster HMS.
Customer support and onboarding ratings are close: eviivo scores 4.5/5 in support and 4.4/5 in onboarding; roommaster scores 4.3/5 in both categories. eviivo reviewers frequently mention responsive, knowledgeable support staff and fast resolution, although some report difficulty reaching agents during peak times. One negative review detailed a problematic forced conversion from other systems with inadequate data import support, resulting in booking losses.
roommaster users praise patient and effective support once connected but consistently note long wait times on calls and occasional slow callbacks, especially during busy periods or outages. Several reviews highlight strong initial training and ongoing assistance tailored to their hotel’s specific operational needs.
Overall, both companies provide competent support with some accessibility challenges reported on both sides, but the quality of help once reached is generally high.
Edge: Even.
roommaster HMS offers 60 verified integrations compared to eviivo Suite’s 35, exceeding eviivo by over 70%. Both platforms share 10 common partners, including Canary Technologies, D-Edge, RoomPriceGenie, Duve, and GuestRevu, covering key OTA and guest experience tools.
eviivo’s unique integrations include Hotelchamp, Tripadvisor, PriceLabs, CheKin, and Vikey, supporting dynamic pricing, guest identity verification, and online reputation management, which benefit smaller independent hotels focused on direct bookings and online presence.
roommaster’s distinct integrations involve Sage accounting, Volo POS, GuestCentric marketing, Inntopia distribution, M3 financial management, Otelier revenue management, and Cendyn CRM systems. These are tailored for properties requiring advanced financial and marketing capabilities, multi-property management, and deeper operational data insights.
Hotels requiring extensive third-party connectivity, especially with POS, accounting, and marketing platforms, will find roommaster’s integration ecosystem more comprehensive.
Edge: roommaster HMS.
eviivo Suite holds a higher overall rating of 4.8/5 across 245 reviews, including 30 in the last six months with a 4.4/5 recent rating. roommaster has a 4.4/5 overall rating from 165 reviews, with 16 recent reviews rated 4.6/5. The recent ratings show roommaster’s current product is slightly better rated but from a smaller sample.
By segment, eviivo leads substantially in bed & breakfasts & inns (4.7/5 from 133 reviews vs. roommaster’s 4.4/5 from 61), boutique hotels (4.8/5 vs. 4.4/5), and vacation rentals & villas (4.7/5 vs. 4.7/5 but with 56 vs. 10 reviews). eviivo also rates higher for airport/conference hotels and luxury hotels with double or more reviews than roommaster.
roommaster excels in resorts (4.4/5 over 76 reviews vs. eviivo’s 4.6/5 but only 24 reviews), motels (4.5/5 from 22 reviews vs. eviivo’s 3.9/5 from 4), and city center hotels (4.7/5 from 29 reviews vs. eviivo’s 4.8/5 from 23). The difference in review counts and recency favors eviivo’s ratings as more representative, although roommaster’s recent rating edge merits consideration.
Edge: eviivo Suite.
eviivo Suite has a base price of $700 with no published monthly flat or per-room pricing and no implementation fee. roommaster starts at $500 base price, also without published monthly or per-room pricing and no implementation fee. Neither product offers a trial period.
Given both lack transparent ongoing pricing details, comparing total cost of ownership requires direct vendor consultation. The higher base price of eviivo Suite likely reflects its packaged feature set and included services, while roommaster’s lower base price may involve additional fees for specific modules or integrations.

Not ideal if:
The core difference between eviivo Suite and roommaster HMS lies in operational focus and target hotel size. eviivo Suite streamlines operations for small to medium independent accommodations, emphasizing ease of use, automation, and direct booking growth. roommaster HMS offers broader operational depth with extensive features and integrations suited to larger, more complex properties including resorts and branded hotels.
Choose eviivo Suite if you want a user-friendly PMS with integrated mobile tools, centralized guest messaging, and automation that reduces manual work for teams in bed & breakfasts, boutique hotels, or vacation rentals. Its 245 reviews at 4.8/5 confirm strong satisfaction in these segments, backed by case studies demonstrating revenue and efficiency gains.
Choose roommaster HMS if your hotel requires advanced modules like POS, revenue management, and group functionality, or if you operate as a resort or branded property needing comprehensive reporting and deep third-party integrations. Its 60 verified integrations and over 270 reports support complex operational needs, though expect a steeper learning curve and some interface compromises.

| 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. |
