Choosing between Great Stay App by Great Stay App and Hoteza Guest App by Hoteza hinges on what your hotel values most. Both aim to enhance guest communication, boost operational efficiency, and increase revenue, but they approach these goals differently. Great Stay App offers limited review data and no recent feedback, while Hoteza boasts over 50 reviews, with recent feedback highlighting its strengths. Which one aligns with your property’s needs?
Your team needs a platform that can integrate smoothly with your existing systems, deliver a seamless guest experience, and offer reliable support. With more comprehensive recent reviews and higher ratings, Hoteza is the stronger option. But is it the right fit for your specific hotel type and operational goals?
Both products aim to improve communication and operational efficiency, but Hoteza’s extensive review pool and recent positive feedback suggest a more proven track record. Great Stay App, on the other hand, has very limited review data, making it difficult to assess its real-world performance.
Hoteza’s reviews repeatedly praise its ease of use, integration capabilities, and guest engagement features, with a 4.78/5 ease of use rating and a 95% likelihood to recommend. Meanwhile, Great Stay App has no reviews or ratings, which raises concerns about its market presence and real-world usability. Would you prefer a solution with proven customer satisfaction and recent feedback?
Hoteza earns a 4.78/5 rating for ease of use, with reviews emphasizing its user-friendly interface, quick onboarding, and intuitive guest access. Users highlight that guests find the app convenient and easy to navigate, which results in higher engagement.
In contrast, Great Stay App has a 0/5 rating, indicating no available user feedback or reviews. This lack of data makes it impossible to evaluate its usability or onboarding process. Given the importance of staff adoption and guest satisfaction, Hoteza’s established usability edge is clear.
Edge: Hoteza.
Hoteza offers a total of 12 shared features, including guest communication, service automation, in-room controls, and integrations with popular systems like PMS, POS, and CRM. It also provides unique features such as in-room entertainment, real-time push offers, and a cloud-based CMS for central management.
Great Stay App does not list any exclusive features beyond guest communication. Its limited feature set, combined with no added functionalities, makes it less versatile compared to Hoteza. For hotels seeking a broad suite of digital services, Hoteza’s feature depth provides a clear advantage.
Edge: Hoteza.
Hoteza’s support ratings are impressive, with a 4.76/5 score and reviewers praising its quick responses and helpful service. Recent reviews mention that support is responsive and attentive to customer needs, which is critical during onboarding and troubleshooting.
Great Stay App’s support data is unavailable, making it impossible to gauge its customer service quality. Without recent or review-backed support ratings, Hoteza’s proven support performance makes it the safer choice.
Edge: Hoteza.
Hoteza connects with 20 verified partners, including major hospitality systems like Oracle Hospitality, Mews, Vingcard, and Shiji Group. Its broad integration network enables hotels to customize and extend functionalities effectively.
Great Stay App has only 2 verified partners, RoomRaccoon and RUNNR.ai, limiting its compatibility options. For hotels that rely on multiple systems or plan to scale integrations, Hoteza’s extensive partner network offers substantial flexibility.
Edge: Hoteza.
Hoteza’s reviews in the last six months show a 95% likelihood to recommend, with a user rating of 4.78/5. Hotels across various segments, particularly luxury and city center hotels, praise its ease of use, support, and features.
Great Stay App has no reviews or recent data, making it impossible to assess user satisfaction. Based on available information, Hoteza clearly holds the higher rating and recent positive feedback.
Edge: Hoteza.
Great Stay App does not list any pricing, suggesting it may not be widely marketed or may have custom quotes. Conversely, Hoteza charges a base price of $400 per month, with no additional implementation fees or trial options.
This transparent pricing model makes Hoteza easier to evaluate financially, especially since it includes ongoing support and updates within the monthly fee.
The core difference is that Hoteza provides a comprehensive, well-reviewed platform with proven success and ongoing support, while Great Stay App offers limited data and no recent reviews. If your hotel values reliability, extensive features, and system integrations, Hoteza is the clear choice.
Choose Great Stay App only if your needs are minimal and you can verify its performance through direct testing or custom arrangements. For most hotels seeking a reliable, feature-rich guest app, Hoteza offers more confidence based on recent feedback and proven functionality.
When to go with Hoteza: if you need robust integrations, high guest engagement, and support backed by recent reviews. Its high satisfaction ratings and extensive partner network make it ideal for properties of all sizes aiming for digital excellence.
When to consider Great Stay App: only if your hotel has very specific, simple communication needs, or if you are able to pilot the app without relying on proven customer feedback. Its lack of recent reviews and features makes it a risky choice for most hotels.

| 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 →
