Choosing the right property management system (PMS) hinges on your hotel’s specific needs, budget, and operational complexity. Both Hop PMS by Hop Software and Redforts aim to streamline hotel operations, but their offerings, user feedback, and market presence differ significantly. Hop Software has not received recent reviews or ratings, making it difficult to assess its current performance, whereas Redforts boasts more than 40 reviews, with recent feedback highlighting its strengths.
While Hop PMS claims to be an all-in-one solution, its lack of recent user feedback raises questions about its ongoing support and feature relevance. Redforts, on the other hand, offers a well-rounded suite of features with high customer satisfaction, especially in ease of use and support. Which product aligns better with your hotel’s operational needs?
Hop PMS and Redforts are both designed to manage reservations, streamline operations, and increase revenue. Hop PMS promises an all-in-one approach with features like a booking engine and channel management, but it has no available recent reviews or user feedback to confirm its effectiveness or user experience. Conversely, Redforts provides a comprehensive set of functionalities—PMS, booking engine, channel manager, revenue management, and online check-in—with over 40 reviews, including recent ones, indicating active user engagement.
Redforts’ recent reviews praise its ease of use, customer support, and operational automation, while Hop PMS's lack of recent feedback makes it challenging to gauge its current reliability and user satisfaction. Given the absence of recent data for Hop PMS, the clear choice for most hoteliers is Redforts, especially considering the ongoing support and feature updates.
If your hotel requires a reliable, well-supported system with proven ease of use and extensive feature coverage, go with Redforts. It caters to a broad range of property types, including boutique hotels, hostels, and B&Bs, and has a high user recommendation rate (95%). If your team values a larger integration network and a focus on automation, Redforts’ 18 exclusive features and robust customer feedback make it the better pick.
If, however, your hotel prefers a low-cost, straightforward solution that promises an all-in-one platform in a single package and is willing to accept the lack of recent reviews, Hop PMS might be worth considering. But without recent validation, relying on Redforts’ proven track record is the more prudent choice.
Redforts scores a high 4.68 out of 5 for ease of use, based on reviews praising its intuitive interface and straightforward management processes. Users appreciate the quick onboarding, with a 4.32 out of 5 onboarding rating, and report that staff adopt the platform easily. Conversely, Hop PMS has no available usability ratings or recent reviews, leaving its user-friendliness unverified.
Given the recent positive feedback, your team is more likely to adopt and operate Redforts efficiently. Edge: Redforts.
Redforts boasts 28 shared features with Hop PMS plus 18 unique functionalities, including multi-lingual support, digital registration, guest and employee messaging, automated reminders, rate management, and real-time status updates. Hop PMS offers only 3 features exclusive to it, such as integrated CRS, ancillary revenue tracking, and automated night audits.
Redforts’ broader and more diverse feature set, combined with high usability, makes it the more capable solution for varied operational needs. Edge: Redforts.
Redforts scores 4.53 out of 5 for customer support, with recent reviews describing the team as friendly, responsive, and efficient. Users highlight quick query resolutions and consistent improvements, reinforcing its reputation. Hop PMS has no recent reviews or ratings, so its support quality remains unverified.
Given current feedback, Redforts’ support is proven to be reliable and accessible. Edge: Redforts.
Redforts offers 2 verified integrations, including the popular WuBook channel manager, and supports modules like online check-in and POS systems. Hop PMS lists 7 verified partners, but with no recent reviews, the actual integration quality remains uncertain.
Redforts’ established integrations and ongoing support for additional peripherals make it more dependable for seamless system coordination. Edge: Redforts.
Redforts has accumulated over 40 reviews with a 9.5 out of 5 NPS score, indicating strong user satisfaction across various property sizes, especially B&Bs, hostels, and boutique hotels. Its recent reviews reinforce high ratings for ease of use, support, and operational efficiency.
Hop PMS lacks recent reviews and ratings, preventing a fair comparison. Based on available data, Redforts’ reputation among hoteliers is significantly higher. Edge: Redforts.
Hop PMS does not list any pricing details, leaving its cost structure unclear. Redforts charges $500 upfront, with no ongoing monthly fees or implementation costs, making it straightforward and predictable for budget-conscious hotels.
Given the transparency and lower entry price, Redforts provides better value for most hotels seeking a clear pricing plan.
Redforts is a comprehensive, well-reviewed hotel management solution with a proven track record of customer satisfaction and ongoing support. Its feature set and ease of use make it suitable for a wide array of property types and operational needs.
Hop PMS presents a lower-cost, all-in-one alternative but suffers from a lack of recent reviews and validation. If your hotel values reliability, proven performance, and extensive support, Redforts is the clear choice. If budget is the primary concern and you’re comfortable with unverified systems, Hop PMS may suit your needs—but proceed cautiously.
In summary, for most hotels seeking a trusted, feature-rich PMS with recent user validation, Redforts is the superior 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 →
