Choosing between Cloudbeds PMS and HoresPlus hinges on your hotel’s specific operational needs, scalability ambitions, and integration requirements. Cloudbeds offers a comprehensive, all-in-one platform with a proven track record, while HoresPlus emphasizes simplicity and a long-standing reputation with over 600 hotels. How do these differences impact your hotel’s growth and day-to-day management?
Cloudbeds consolidates multiple features into a single ecosystem, cutting down on manual work and streamlining operations. HoresPlus, meanwhile, provides a holistic view with core functionalities, but with fewer advanced features and less recent review data. Which solution aligns best with your hotel’s current and future needs?
Cloudbeds and HoresPlus both address core property management challenges—reservation handling, housekeeping, billing, and guest communication. Cloudbeds’ extensive feature set and recent user reviews indicate it’s a mature platform with a large user base, whereas HoresPlus’s strength lies in its simplicity and long-term hotel trust.
Cloudbeds boasts a 4.63/5 overall rating from over 1,000 reviews, with 81 recent reviews in the past six months, reflecting current user satisfaction. Hores, with no recent review data or a rating, makes it difficult to gauge its current performance or user experience.
Cloudbeds’s recent reviews highlight its ease of use, robust integrations, and positive support, while Hores lacks publicly available recent feedback. Given the data, Cloudbeds’s innovation and recent customer validation suggest it’s better suited for hotels aiming for growth and operational efficiency.
Edge: Cloudbeds
If your hotel needs a full-featured, scalable platform with extensive third-party integrations, Cloudbeds is the clear choice. Its 49 shared features plus 15 unique capabilities—including multi-channel management, real-time inventory updates, and a customizable booking engine—make it ideal for properties seeking growth, automation, and detailed analytics.
If your hotel prioritizes a simple, reliable system that has a trusted reputation but doesn’t require advanced features or recent reviews, HoresPlus could suffice. However, without recent user feedback or a broader feature set, Cloudbeds’s proven track record makes it the safer choice for ambitious hotels.
In summary, for hotels aiming to modernize and scale, Cloudbeds offers better support, more integrations, and a larger community. If minimal complexity and long-term reliability are your primary concerns, HoresPlus may meet your needs—though with less assurance of current performance.
Edge: Cloudbeds
Cloudbeds scores a 4.61/5 for ease of use, based on numerous recent reviews praising its intuitive interface and straightforward onboarding. Users highlight its simple reservation workflows, housekeeping management, and mobile accessibility, making daily operations smoother.
Hores, with no recent reviews available, has limited publicly shared feedback on usability. Its smaller team and long-standing presence suggest a basic, reliable interface, but without current ratings or feedback, confirming ease of use is challenging.
Edge: Cloudbeds
Cloudbeds offers a total of 64 features, including unique capabilities like a PMS connectivity hub, advanced analytics dashboards, inventory management, and multi-lingual support—none offered by Hores. Its 15 features exclusive to Cloudbeds include automated night audits, a PCI-compliant system, and a wellness module, adding depth to its platform.
Hores’s features focus on core operations like reservations, guest check-ins, housekeeping, and billing, but lack the advanced automation and integrations seen in Cloudbeds. With no additional features listed beyond the core modules, Cloudbeds’s feature richness provides greater flexibility and scalability.
Edge: Cloudbeds
Cloudbeds’s customer support scores 4.41/5, with recent reviews highlighting prompt, empathetic responses and proactive assistance. Users praise its responsiveness during onboarding and troubleshooting, contributing to smoother implementation.
Hores provides no recent support ratings or detailed review feedback, making it difficult to assess its support quality. Given Cloudbeds’s strong recent support ratings and active user feedback, it clearly offers a more reliable support experience.
Edge: Cloudbeds
Cloudbeds connects with over 190 verified partners, including major booking channels, revenue tools, and third-party applications like Bookassist, D-Edge, and Umi Digital. Its extensive marketplace supports seamless integrations, automations, and customization.
Hores has only 7 verified partners, with limited shared integrations like Bookassist and IDeaS. The smaller partner network suggests less flexibility and fewer options for connecting to additional systems, which could hamper growth or automation.
Edge: Cloudbeds
Cloudbeds’s recent reviews demonstrate high satisfaction, with a 4.63/5 rating from over 1,000 reviews and a 91% likelihood to recommend. Hotels of various segments, especially boutique hotels and hostels, praise its ease of use, support, and revenue gains.
Hores lacks recent reviews, making it impossible to compare current hotel ratings or satisfaction levels. Based on the available data, Cloudbeds’s higher and more recent ratings indicate stronger hotel confidence and advocacy.
Edge: Cloudbeds
Cloudbeds charges a base price of $600 per month without a free trial, with no mention of additional implementation or setup fees. Its transparent pricing model and feature set justify this cost for hotels seeking an all-in-one system.
Hores does not publicly disclose its pricing, leaving potential buyers uncertain about costs and value. Without transparent pricing, Cloudbeds’s clear structure offers a more predictable investment.

Edge: Cloudbeds
Cloudbeds presents a fully integrated, feature-rich platform trusted by over 1,000 hotels worldwide, with recent user reviews confirming its ease of use, support, and scalability. Its extensive partner network and advanced automation tools make it ideal for hotels looking to grow and streamline operations.
HoresPlus offers a dependable, straightforward PMS with a long history and a strong reputation among smaller or more traditional properties. However, the lack of recent reviews and fewer features limit its appeal for hotels aiming for modernization and expansion.
For hotels seeking an all-in-one, adaptable system with recent validation and proven growth benefits, Cloudbeds is the recommended choice. If simplicity and historical trust are your priorities, HoresPlus may serve your needs, but with less confidence in current performance.

Users consistently say Cloudbeds makes it easy to view, move, split, and update reservations from a single calendar, which speeds up front-desk work and reduces errors.

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. Cloudbeds has an HT Score of 100 and Hores has 0. 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 →
