Choosing the right property management system (PMS) is crucial for streamlining your hotel operations, boosting revenue, and improving guest experiences. You’re evaluating two options: High Level Software’s hotel management system and RoomRaccoon PMS. Both aim to automate tasks like bookings, check-ins, and billing, but their features, support, and market presence differ significantly.
Given the evident disparity in their review volumes and recent feedback, your decision should favor the platform with stronger, more current user validation. Can you confidently rely on a solution that’s more popular and well-reviewed today?
High Level Software offers a comprehensive hotel management platform that integrates front desk, reservations, housekeeping, and billing into a single system. However, it lacks published reviews, ratings, or recent user feedback, making it difficult to gauge real-world performance or user satisfaction.
In contrast, RoomRaccoon has over 169 recent reviews, with an overall rating of 4.88 out of 5 and a 94% likelihood to recommend. Users praise its user-friendly interface, automation features, and ability to increase direct bookings and revenue. Does your team prioritize proven functionality backed by recent user experiences?
If your hotel is a small to medium-sized property or an independent operator seeking an all-in-one, easy-to-use PMS with built-in channel management and booking engine, RoomRaccoon is the clear choice. Its extensive feature set supports automation of guest communication, online check-in, dynamic pricing, and revenue management, all in a cloud-based platform.
On the other hand, if your hotel needs a deeply customizable, enterprise-level management system capable of handling complex operations across multiple locations—especially with no available recent reviews—High Level Software might be worth exploring. But given the lack of current user data, RoomRaccoon’s proven track record makes it the safer, more reliable choice.
RoomRaccoon scores 4.74 out of 5 for ease of use, with many users describing its interface as intuitive, straightforward, and quick to learn. Recent reviews highlight how staff can adopt the system rapidly, reducing training time and errors, with some users noting that onboarding takes only a few days.
High Level Software offers no published ratings or recent feedback, so assessing its usability is impossible. Without user validation, it’s harder to be confident in its ease of implementation.
Edge: RoomRaccoon.
RoomRaccoon boasts 51 features, including a channel manager, dynamic revenue management, booking engine, integrated payment processing, guest CRM, automated upselling, mobile app, and detailed analytics. Many of these features are designed to optimize revenue, automate guest communication, and streamline daily tasks.
High Level Software, however, has no published list of features, raising questions about its capabilities and innovation. In the absence of concrete feature data, RoomRaccoon’s extensive, proven functionalities give it a decided advantage.
Edge: RoomRaccoon.
RoomRaccoon enjoys an average support rating of 4.53 out of 5, with positive reviews emphasizing quick response times, helpful staff, and effective onboarding. Many users mention that support is responsive and proactive in solving issues, even during busy periods.
High Level Software provides no recent review data or support ratings, making it impossible to assess its support quality or responsiveness. For operational peace of mind, proven customer support is essential—and RoomRaccoon currently leads.
Edge: RoomRaccoon.
RoomRaccoon integrates with 88 verified partners, including popular channels, payment systems, and property management tools like Sage, Paxxio, and RevControl. Its open marketplace allows seamless connections, reducing manual work and data entry.
High Level Software reports no verified integrations or partnerships, which limits its ability to connect with other systems and adapt to your existing tech stack.
Edge: RoomRaccoon.
RoomRaccoon’s recent reviews reveal an overall rating of 4.88/5, with many small-hotels, boutique properties, and independent operators expressing high satisfaction. Users appreciate its usability, automation, and ability to generate more direct bookings.
In contrast, High Level Software has no recent reviews or ratings, making it impossible to gauge user sentiment or property-specific satisfaction. Based on available data, RoomRaccoon is clearly the preferred choice.
Edge: RoomRaccoon.
RoomRaccoon charges a base price of $1,000 per month, with no trial or freemium options. Pricing details for High Level Software are unavailable, indicating either a custom quote or that pricing isn’t publicly disclosed.
Given RoomRaccoon’s transparent pricing model, your hotel can better budget for the platform’s costs and expected ROI compared to an opaque pricing structure.
The core difference is that RoomRaccoon is a proven, user-rated platform with recent reviews, extensive features, and a strong customer support reputation. High Level Software remains unreviewed in recent times, making it a risky option without current validation.
If your hotel values a reliable, easy-to-use system with proven automation and integrations, RoomRaccoon is the clear choice. Its high user satisfaction and active market presence make it the safer, smarter investment today.
Choose RoomRaccoon if you want a system that’s trusted by hundreds of hotels and actively reviewed by users. Opt for High Level Software only if you have specific customization needs and can verify its performance through direct vendor engagement.
Property Management Systems pricing is rarely straightforward. Here is what we know from each vendor's public pricing data. Always request a custom quote for your property size.

Some reviewers mention limitations when managing reservations within the same room category, especially when guests need to be moved from room to room. That points to a need for smoother room assignment handling in busy hotels with more complex occupancy patterns.

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. High Level Software has an HT Score of 0 and RoomRaccoon has 77. 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 →
