Choosing between Hop PMS by Hop Software and Semper hinges on your hotel’s operational needs and priorities. Both aim to streamline management, but Semper’s recent reviews and broader feature set suggest it offers a more complete, user-friendly experience for hoteliers. Hop Software, with zero reviews and no recent data, leaves its effectiveness unverified. Are you ready to prioritize a platform backed by real user feedback?
Both Hop PMS and Semper aim to simplify hotel operations by integrating key management functions. Hop PMS markets itself as an all-in-one system that reduces expenses and maximizes direct bookings through a cloud-based platform, but its lack of reviews raises concerns about its real-world performance. Conversely, Semper boasts 51 recent reviews, high support ratings (4.88/5), and a 94% likelihood of recommendation, indicating strong user satisfaction. Which platform truly delivers on its promises?
If your hotel needs a flexible, intuitive system with extensive features, go with Semper. Its 64 unique features—like automated reminders, task management, guest messaging, online check-in/out, and integrated POS—support diverse operations. For hotels prioritizing a proven support team and a broad ecosystem of integrations, Semper’s 11 verified partners, including Cloudbeds and Revinate, make it the safer choice. Hop PMS’s limited feature count and unverified reputation make it less suitable for complex or growth-oriented properties.
Semper receives a 4.55/5 rating for ease of use, with reviews citing its user-friendly interface, straightforward workflows, and quick onboarding. Users highlight its intuitive design, which allows new staff to adapt rapidly, and praise the dedicated support team. Hop PMS, with a 0/5 rating, offers no recent reviews or user feedback, making it impossible to gauge its usability. Given the current data, Semper clearly offers a more accessible experience.
Semper’s 64 features include task management, automated reminders, online checkout, guest messaging, integrated payment terminals, real-time status updates, and property management modules—many of which Hop PMS lacks. Hop’s sole unique feature appears to be an integrated CRS, but overall, Semper’s broad feature set supports comprehensive hotel operations. Edge: Semper.
Semper’s support scores (4.88/5) and review comments about its responsiveness and knowledgeable team—mentioning staff like Bea and Zizipho—underline its superior customer service. In contrast, Hop PMS provides no recent support reviews, leaving its support quality unconfirmed. Semper’s consistent positive feedback makes it the clear leader in support quality.
Semper integrates with 11 verified partners, including notable platforms like Sage, NightsBridge, and Vingcard, offering extensive connectivity across various operations. Hop PMS supports only 7 verified integrations, with fewer well-known partners. The broader ecosystem and established integrations of Semper give it a definitive edge.
Semper’s recent reviews show a 9.33/5 NPS score and a 94% likelihood to recommend, predominantly from diverse property types such as luxury hotels, resorts, and boutique hotels. Hop PMS’s ratings are nonexistent, so no user sentiment data is available. Based on current insights, Semper is the higher-rated choice by hoteliers.
Semper’s pricing is $600/month, with no free tier or trial available. Hop PMS does not publish pricing or offer a trial, creating uncertainty about its cost and value. Given Semper’s transparent pricing and positive reviews, it offers a clear cost-benefit picture.
Semper’s extensive feature set, proven user satisfaction, and recent reviews make it the more reliable choice for most hotels. Its user-friendly interface, high support ratings, and broad integrations support a wide range of operational needs, especially for properties aiming to scale or improve efficiency.
Hop PMS, with no recent reviews or verifiable user feedback, remains an untested option. Its limited feature set and unknown support quality suggest it’s best suited for very small or budget-conscious properties willing to gamble on an unreviewed platform.
When choosing a PMS, prioritize proven support and features—Semper’s recent data positions it as the stronger choice. If your hotel needs a flexible, comprehensive system with positive user feedback, go with Semper. If you are exploring a basic, low-cost solution and are willing to accept the risks associated with unverified claims, Hop PMS might be worth considering, but proceed with caution.
This detailed comparison should guide your decision based on real user experiences and current platform capabilities. Always consider your hotel’s unique operational demands before making a final choice.

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. Hop Software has an HT Score of 0 and Semper has 22. 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 →
