Choosing between Hotellinx by Hotellinx Systems and Mews PMS by Mews hinges on your hotel’s specific needs and operational scale. Both systems aim to streamline property management, but they diverge significantly in maturity, user adoption, and feature depth. Hotellinx, with its limited recent reviews and a poor rating, appears outdated and unsupported. In contrast, Mews boasts a high rating, over 750 reviews, and a robust, modern cloud platform. Is your team prepared for a proven, scalable solution?
Hotellinx has been around since 1992 but currently has no recent reviews or ratings, indicating minimal active user engagement or ongoing support. Mews, founded in 2012 and with over 750 reviews, commands a near-perfect 4.62/5 rating, with recent feedback emphasizing its ease of use, support, and continuous innovation. Given the lack of recent data for Hotellinx, can you afford to gamble on an unsupported system?
If your hotel needs a flexible, cloud-based PMS that supports modern integrations, automation, and a wide range of features, Mews is the clear choice. It is especially suitable for boutique, independent, or growing properties aiming for scalability. Hotellinx might have served a purpose historically but now appears obsolete and poorly supported, making it unsuitable for hotels seeking efficiency and growth.
Mews scores a 4.7/5 for ease of use, with recent reviews praising its intuitive, modern interface, and straightforward onboarding process. Hotellinx scores a 0/5, with no recent reviews or positive comments, suggesting it’s outdated and difficult to adopt. Staff adoption and staff-friendly design favor Mews significantly. Edge: Mews.
Mews offers over 59 features including multi-lingual support, revenue management, guest CRM, online check-in, integrated payments, and extensive automation tools—features Hotellinx simply cannot match, as it provides none. Hotellinx lacks recent feature updates or detailed capabilities, making it inferior for hotels looking to stay competitive. Edge: Mews.
Mews is rated 4.27/5 for support, with recent reviews highlighting responsive, helpful onboarding and ongoing assistance. Hotellinx, with a 0/5 score and no recent reviews, indicates no active support or community. Trusting support quality, Mews’s recent positive reviews set it apart decisively. Edge: Mews.
Mews connects to over 336 verified partners, offering extensive integrations via its open API and marketplace—enabling customization and automation. Hotellinx has only 6 verified partners, limiting its adaptability and growth potential. For scalable, interconnected operations, Mews’s ecosystem is the clear winner. Edge: Mews.
Hotellinx has no recent reviews or ratings, leaving hotelier sentiment unknown. Mews, with 98 recent reviews, maintains a 4.62/5 score, particularly appreciated by boutique, independent, and city-center hotels. Given current review volumes and scores, Mews is the preferred choice. Edge: Mews.
Hotellinx does not publicly disclose pricing, implying a potentially high or customized fee. Mews charges a base fee of $900/month, which is competitive considering its feature set, integrations, and support. The value proposition favors Mews’s transparent, predictable pricing model.
The core difference is that Mews is a modern, cloud-native PMS with ongoing support, frequent updates, and a vast feature set, whereas Hotellinx remains unsupported, outdated, and limited. If operational efficiency, scalability, and future-proofing matter, Mews’s platform and recent reviews prove it as the superior choice. Hotellinx is no longer competitive in today’s digital hospitality landscape.
Choose Mews if you value a proven, feature-rich, supported platform that can grow with your hotel. Opt for Hotellinx only if you’re managing a small, static property with no plans for expansion or modernization—and even then, beware of the lack of support and recent updates. For a reliable, scalable solution that enhances guest experience and operational control, Mews is unequivocally the better option.
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.

A major theme is that Mews is intuitive, modern, and easy for teams to learn, making onboarding and day-to-day use simpler than legacy PMS systems. Users often say new employees can get productive quickly, though a minority still find some advanced workflows or settings less intuitive.

Reviewers repeatedly say Mews automates routine hotel work such as reservations, check-ins, invoicing, payments, and housekeeping tasks, which reduces manual effort and errors. Many note that this frees staff to spend more time on guests and helps properties operate more efficiently, especially during busy periods.

Mews is consistently valued for connecting with third-party systems such as POS, RMS, payment providers, channel managers, and custom tools, with several users praising its open API. Buyers should note that while the ecosystem is strong, some desired integrations still require extra work or are missing entirely for specific use cases.

Reporting is one of the most discussed areas, with many users wanting more customizable dashboards, better exports, and stronger financial and operational analytics. While some praise the BI/analytics depth, many reviews say reports can be confusing, incomplete, inconsistent, or too limited for multi-property and accounting needs.
Billing and payment automation is one of Mews’ most valued strengths, especially for automated charging, room posting from POS, and payment workflows... Billing and payment automation is one of Mews’ most valued strengths, especially for automated charging, room posting from POS, and payment workflows that reduce manual effort. At the same time, reviewers repeatedly cite pain points around invoice splitting, refunds, credit notes, card handling, and transparency of fees.

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. Hotellinx Systems has an HT Score of 0 and Mews has 100. 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 →
