Choosing between HS/3 (acq Mews) by HS/3 and SkyTouch Technology is a critical decision for your hotel’s management software. Both aim to streamline operations, but they do so with different approaches, feature sets, and market presence. HS/3 is a lesser-known product with minimal reviews and no recent feedback, whereas SkyTouch has a well-established user base with over 119 reviews, all within the last six months. This makes SkyTouch’s data significantly more reliable and current.
SkyTouch’s higher rating (3.5/5) compared to HS/3’s 0/5 clearly indicates its stronger market validation. Can your team justify adopting a system with no recent reviews or user feedback? The decision hinges on your hotel’s specific needs and whether you prioritize proven support and feature richness.
HS/3 aims to serve as a comprehensive property management system, but it lacks recent feedback, and its review count is zero, which raises questions about its current viability. SkyTouch, by contrast, is a cloud-based platform with 119 recent reviews, a 4.64/5 ease-of-use rating, and a solid 4.5/5 customer support score, making it a more trusted choice.
SkyTouch also offers a broad feature set, including a revenue management module, booking engine, and integrated channel manager, all absent in HS/3. Does your hotel need a proven, feature-rich system with ongoing user feedback? If so, SkyTouch is the clear choice.
If your hotel requires a trusted, well-supported PMS with extensive features, go with SkyTouch. Its large review base and recent positive feedback make it the safer bet for operational stability and ongoing improvements.
If your hotel is a niche operation with very basic needs and you want to experiment with less expensive or untested options, HS/3 could be considered—though the lack of recent reviews makes this a risky choice. For most hotels, SkyTouch's proven track record is the superior option.
SkyTouch’s 4.64/5 ease-of-use rating, based on over 100 reviews, reflects its intuitive, user-friendly interface and straightforward onboarding process. Users consistently highlight how quickly new staff can learn the system, with many reviews emphasizing minimal training time.
HS/3’s rating is 0/5, with no recent reviews, suggesting no current user data to assess its usability. Given the limited information, it’s reasonable to conclude that SkyTouch offers a much clearer, more accessible user experience.
Edge: SkyTouch Technology
SkyTouch boasts 27 unique features, including a booking engine, revenue management, guest CRM, and integrated channel management—tools that HS/3 does not offer at all. Its features are tailored for hotels that want an all-in-one solution that covers operations, sales, and guest relations.
HS/3 appears to have no listed features or integrations, which limits its appeal to hotels seeking comprehensive management tools. For feature richness and variety, SkyTouch is the obvious choice.
Edge: SkyTouch Technology
SkyTouch’s 4.5/5 support rating, supported by numerous recent reviews, highlights its responsive, helpful customer service. Hoteliers praise their quick response times, with one review stating, “Support is professional and always available when needed.”
HS/3 has no recent reviews or customer support data, which raises concerns about ongoing support quality. Given the importance of reliable support, SkyTouch clearly stands out.
Edge: SkyTouch Technology
SkyTouch integrates with 33 verified partners, including popular systems like SiteMinder, Impulsify, and Chargerback. This extensive ecosystem allows for easier connection with booking channels, POS systems, and revenue tools.
HS/3 has no verified integrations, limiting its flexibility and growth potential. For hotel operations that depend on a connected tech stack, SkyTouch’s integrations are a significant advantage.
Edge: SkyTouch Technology
SkyTouch’s recent reviews indicate a 4/5 rating from independent hotels and 3.17/5 from branded hotels. In contrast, HS/3 has no recent data, so no rating can be reliably assessed. The recent positive reviews for SkyTouch reinforce its reputation among hoteliers.
Given the lack of recent feedback for HS/3, hotel owners should lean towards SkyTouch, which has proven user satisfaction.
Edge: SkyTouch Technology
HS/3 does not disclose pricing, but it’s likely a custom quote or premium service given the lack of a listed fee. SkyTouch’s standard price is $600 per month, with no implementation fee, providing transparent cost expectations.
If budget is a concern, SkyTouch’s clear and predictable pricing model is advantageous. The absence of HS/3’s pricing details makes it difficult to evaluate its value proposition.
Not ideal if your hotel prioritizes proven reliability, extensive features, or robust support.
Not ideal if your hotel is highly customized and requires flexible, tailored software solutions that can be built from scratch.
SkyTouch’s extensive reviews, recent positive feedback, and feature set position it as the clear choice for most hotels. Its proven support, integrations, and ease of use make it a reliable partner in property management.
HS/3’s lack of recent user feedback and minimal feature data suggest it is not suitable for hotels seeking proven technology and ongoing support. If you’re aiming for stability and growth, SkyTouch is the recommended option.
For hotels prioritizing a well-supported, feature-rich PMS with recent reviews, SkyTouch is the smarter investment. HS/3 may appeal to very small or experimental operations, but the risk of limited support and outdated features makes it a less attractive choice for most.
In summary, unless your property has unique, minimal needs and is comfortable with untested systems, SkyTouch’s proven track record makes it the best choice for your hotel management.

| 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. |
