Choosing the right PMS can dramatically impact your hotel’s efficiency, guest satisfaction, and revenue. Both Mews and myCloud Hospitality PMS aim to streamline operations, but they differ significantly in scale, features, and user feedback. Mews, with its extensive integrations and large user base, is better suited for dynamic, tech-savvy hotels, while myCloud specializes in serving small to medium properties with simplified management. Are you prioritizing advanced automation or straightforward operation?
Mews’s higher overall ratings, more recent reviews, and larger review count make it the clear leader. It boasts a 4.62/5 rating from 758 reviews, compared to myCloud’s 4.81/5 from just 95 reviews, with the majority of recent feedback favoring Mews. If you want a proven, highly-rated system, Mews is the safer choice.
Both systems aim to automate hotel management, but Mews offers a more comprehensive, flexible platform with over 57 shared features and additional exclusive tools like Housekeeping Mobile App and Shift Planning. myCloud, built on a Microsoft platform, provides a robust yet more streamlined system suitable for smaller properties, focusing on core functionalities and integrations.
Where Mews excels is in its extensive third-party ecosystem, with 336 verified partners, allowing deep customization for tech-driven hotels. myCloud’s ecosystem is smaller, with 29 verified partners, though it covers the essentials like OTAs, payment processing, and CRM. Do you need a broad ecosystem or a more straightforward, focused platform?
If your hotel requires a highly customizable, scalable system with over 1,000 integrations, and you operate multiple properties or a large boutique, Mews is the better fit. It’s ideal for hotels that want automation, a modern interface, and a flexible marketplace.
If your hotel is small or medium-sized, prioritizes ease of use, and needs a simple, quick setup with strong support, myCloud’s more user-friendly approach and detailed reporting make it a compelling choice. Its focus on automation and integration benefits properties looking to improve efficiency without the complexity of a larger platform.
Mews scores 4.7/5 for ease of use from 758 reviews, with feedback highlighting its modern, intuitive interface and quick onboarding. However, some users mention a learning curve due to its extensive features, especially for multi-property management. Support is generally praised, but occasional bugs are noted, though problems are resolved swiftly.
myCloud scores 4.79/5 from 95 reviews, with users emphasizing its simplicity, smooth interface, and quick setup. Customers appreciate the clarity and straightforwardness, making staff adoption easier.
Edge: myCloud Hospitality PMS.
Mews offers a total of 57 shared features, plus exclusive tools like Housekeeping Mobile App and Shift Planning, catering to hotels that need robust operational capabilities. myCloud’s features focus on core automation, OTA integrations, detailed reports, and recent additions like contactless check-in, digital payments, and mobile keys.
Mews’s marketplace, with over 1,000 integrations, adds significant value for tech-enabled hotels, while myCloud excels in seamless OTA and CRM integration, especially suited for properties seeking straightforward automation.
Edge: Mews PMS.
Mews’s support scores 4.27/5 from 758 reviews, with some users praising their responsiveness and helpfulness but noting occasional delays resolving bugs. Support is generally considered good, with many appreciating their proactive updates and customer service.
myCloud, with a 4.83/5 rating from 95 reviews, is highly rated for support, with users describing their team as “always available hands-on” and “quick to respond.” The smaller user base means more personalized attention.
Edge: myCloud Hospitality PMS.
Mews has verified integrations with 336 partners, including major OTAs, channel managers, POS systems, and revenue tools, providing extensive flexibility. Shared integrations include Sage, Profitroom, and Cendyn, among others, with Mews offering unique integrations like Criton and Orange Hotel Marketing.
myCloud’s ecosystem consists of 29 verified partners, with strong links to payment, CRM, and booking engines. While smaller, it covers essential integrations for mid-sized hotels.
Edge: Mews PMS.
Mews enjoys a cumulative score of 4.62/5 and 98 recent reviews, with hotel segments like independent hotels and hostels rating it even higher—4.91/5 and 4.64/5 respectively. Its user base, which spans boutique and city center hotels, values its automation and open API.
myCloud’s 4.81/5 rating from 95 reviews makes it highly rated among smaller properties, especially boutique hotels and resorts, though it has fewer reviews from recent months.
Edge: Mews PMS.
Both platforms are priced at $900 per month, with no setup or implementation fees listed. Neither offers a freemium or tiered pricing structure, so the cost is straightforward, but the overall value depends on the features and integrations your hotel needs.
Not ideal if your property is very small, lacks IT support, or prefers a simple, minimal system.
Not ideal if your property demands complex multi-property management or highly customizable workflows.
Mews is a large-scale, highly integrated PMS built for properties that need advanced automation, extensive third-party connections, and scalability. Its superior review count and recent user feedback make it the more proven choice for growth-focused hotels.
myCloud Hospitality PMS offers a user-friendly, straightforward platform ideal for small to medium hotels that prioritize ease of use and strong support. Its simplicity and recent high ratings make it perfect for properties valuing quick deployment and reliable customer service.
In summary, if your hotel needs a flexible, comprehensive system with a proven track record, go with Mews. If ease of operation and personalized support are your priorities, myCloud is the better fit.

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.

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. Mews has an HT Score of 99 and myCloud Hospitality PMS has 75. 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 →
