Choosing the right property management system (PMS) is critical for your hotel’s efficiency, guest experience, and scalability. Both Infor HMS and Mews PMS aim to streamline operations, but they do so with markedly different approaches and strengths. Infor offers a long-established, customizable platform primarily favored by larger hotels and chains, while Mews provides a modern, cloud-native system with a vast ecosystem and recent, highly-rated user feedback. Which one aligns best with your hotel’s current needs and future ambitions?
Infor HMS is designed to serve hotels seeking a highly customizable, on-premise or cloud solution that integrates with operational systems like revenue management and accounting. It’s preferred by hotels that value tailored workflows and robust reporting, especially in Europe and North America. Conversely, Mews excels with its intuitive, mobile-friendly interface and rapid deployment, gaining a larger user base of boutique, independent, and mid-sized hotels, especially in North America and global markets. Do you prioritize flexibility and customization or ease and speed of implementation?
If your hotel needs a cloud-based, easy-to-use platform with a rich marketplace of integrations and a strong focus on automation, go with Mews. Its over 750 reviews and recent feedback favor its modern design, fast onboarding, and high user satisfaction, particularly among independent and boutique properties. If your hotel requires extensive customization, deep operational integrations, or on-premise deployment options, Infor is more suitable, especially if your team values detailed reporting and flexibility. Which features matter most for your operations?
Mews boasts a user rating of 4.7/5 and over 98 recent reviews, emphasizing its simple, modern interface and quick learning curve. Hoteliers frequently mention how staff find it “easy to adopt,” and onboarding scores of 4.39/5 reflect its straightforward setup. In contrast, Infor’s ease of use scores lower at 3.88/5, with some users describing the interface as “not pretty” and reporting issues during updates. Edge: Mews.
Mews offers 40 unique features including guest CRM, online check-in, digital registration, automated reminders, and a host of integrations like POS, ID scanner, and guest messaging—features significantly absent from Infor’s 19 core features, which focus more on traditional PMS functionalities. Infor has the advantage of on-premise deployment and customizable reporting, but Mews’s extensive feature set and marketplace integrations give it a decisive edge. Edge: Mews.
Infor’s support scores 4.04/5, with reviews praising their responsiveness but noting frequent bugs and bugs during updates. Customer feedback indicates occasional frustrations with technical glitches and slow bug fixes. Mews, rated 4.27/5, receives praise for its ongoing support and proactive issue resolution, with reviews highlighting their responsiveness even amid occasional bugs. Given the recent review volume and higher ratings, Edge: Mews.
Mews integrates with over 336 verified partners, including a broad array of third-party solutions like Criton, Sage, and hospitality-specific apps, while Infor supports 113 verified partners, including notable integrations like HQ Revenue and Tripleseat. The extensive marketplace of Mews allows greater flexibility to tailor your tech ecosystem. Edge: Mews.
Mews scores an overall 4.62/5 with 679 recent reviews, especially praised by boutique and independent hotels for its user-friendliness and scalability. Infor’s overall rating of 4.04/5 from 46 reviews is more balanced but indicates less recent and less extensive user satisfaction. Hoteliers clearly prefer Mews’s modern approach and ongoing innovation. Edge: Mews.
Infor’s pricing is not publicly disclosed, often customized based on hotel size and configuration, which can make budgeting unpredictable. Mews charges a base fee of $900 per month, with no implementation or additional fees, providing clear value and predictable costs. If transparency is key, Mews offers a straightforward pricing model better suited for budget-conscious hotels.
Infor HMS offers tailored, complex solutions ideal for large hotels with specific operational needs, but it lags in ease of use and recent reviews. Mews, on the other hand, provides a cloud-based, feature-rich platform with a rapidly growing user base, especially favored by boutique and independent hotels, thanks to its modern interface and extensive integrations.
If your hotel values ease of use, quick deployment, and a broad ecosystem, Mews is the clear choice. Conversely, if customization and legacy system integration are your priorities, Infor may better serve your long-term needs.
For most hotels today, Mews’s recent review volume, high ratings, and extensive feature set make it the more compelling option—especially for properties aiming to modernize quickly and scale efficiently.
According to HTR's product database, Infor HMS and Mews PMS share 19 features. Here are the key differences — features one has that the other lacks.

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. Infor has an HT Score of 22 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 →
