Choosing between myCloud Hospitality PMS and Shiji Daylight PMS depends on your hotel’s specific needs and operational focus. Both systems aim to streamline hotel management and improve guest experiences, but they differ significantly in their approach, reviews, and capabilities.
myCloud Hospitality PMS, launched in 2022, has rapidly gained traction with a strong review score and a dedicated user base among small and medium-sized hotels. Shiji Daylight PMS, established in 1998, offers a broader feature set and extensive global presence, but its user reviews are less recent. Which platform will better address your hotel’s unique requirements?
Both myCloud Hospitality PMS and Shiji Daylight PMS are cloud-based solutions designed to simplify hotel operations. myCloud emphasizes ease of use, quick deployment, and seamless integrations, especially appealing to smaller hotels seeking efficient management tools. Shiji, on the other hand, provides extensive modules, automation, and a centralized guest profile system suited for larger hotel groups.
While myCloud’s recent reviews highlight its intuitive interface and customer support, Shiji’s reviews focus on its comprehensive feature set and flexibility. Do you prioritize quick, straightforward management or a broad suite of automation tools? How important is scalability in your decision?
If your hotel is a small to medium-sized property looking for a user-friendly PMS with strong integration capabilities and excellent support, myCloud Hospitality PMS is the clear choice. Its high overall rating of 4.81/5 and recent reviews underscore its reliability and customer satisfaction among similar hotels.
If your hotel operates at a larger scale, needs advanced automation, or has multiple properties requiring centralized guest data, Shiji Daylight PMS is more suitable. Despite fewer recent reviews, it boasts a broader feature set, extensive integrations, and proven scalability for larger hotel groups. Which operational complexity do you need your PMS to handle?
myCloud Hospitality PMS scores a 4.79/5 for ease of use, with reviews praising its intuitive interface and quick staff onboarding. Its modern design and easy navigation make it attractive for teams new to PMS software, with many users expressing satisfaction with its simplicity.

Shiji has 48 features unique to its platform, such as centralized user management, online check-in/out, integrated CRS, digital registration, automated reminders, and advanced housekeeping modules. It also provides extensive automation and customization options.
While Shiji’s feature count outpaces myCloud significantly, myCloud’s core features are well-suited to smaller hotels seeking essential, integrated tools. For larger operations, Shiji’s broad suite and automation tools provide more depth.

Edge: Shiji Daylight PMS.
myCloud Hospitality PMS scores a 4.81/5 overall, with reviews from small, independent, and boutique hotels emphasizing its ease of use, excellent support, and revenue benefits. Recent reviews confirm consistent satisfaction, with users highlighting quick onboarding and operational improvements.
Shiji’s reviews, primarily older, focus on its versatility and automation, but mention occasional issues with speed and customization. Larger hotel groups generally rate it well for its comprehensive features but lack recent feedback to confirm ongoing performance.
Based on recent data, myCloud’s higher and more current ratings make it the preferred choice for most hoteliers.
Edge: myCloud Hospitality PMS.
myCloud Hospitality PMS charges a base price of $900, with no additional implementation or monthly fees, making it straightforward and predictable. Shiji’s base price is $1,200, with similar no-trial, no-implementation fees.
Both products are subscription-based, but myCloud’s lower price point makes it more accessible for smaller hotels or chains on tight budgets. Larger enterprises may find Shiji’s broader features worth the higher investment.
Not ideal if your hotel requires advanced automation, extensive customization, or multiple integrations beyond core needs.
Not ideal if your hotel is small, with simple operations, or if you prefer a lightweight, straightforward system without extensive automation.
myCloud Hospitality PMS offers a streamlined, user-friendly platform perfect for smaller hotels and boutique properties.

| 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 →
