Choosing the right property management system (PMS) is crucial for your hotel's success. Both Noovy PMS by Noovy and Ulyses by Septeo Hospitality aim to streamline your operations, but they approach this goal differently. Noovy offers a comprehensive, all-in-one platform with high user ratings and recent reviews backing its reliability. Ulyses, while versatile, lacks recent feedback and has a limited market presence. Which solution aligns better with your priorities: proven performance or broad capabilities?
Both Noovy and Ulyses are designed to enhance your hotel operations, but they differ significantly in focus and market presence. Noovy emphasizes ease of use, automation, and integration, especially for independent hotels and boutique properties. Ulyses markets itself as a flexible platform for all hotel services, including activities and food services, but it lacks recent user reviews to confirm its current performance. Do you need a system with proven recent success, or are you looking for a broader, more customizable tool?
If your hotel values an easy-to-use, highly rated PMS with extensive integrations and a strong track record, Noovy is the clear choice. Its 19 recent reviews, all in the last six months, confirm a 5/5 overall rating and a 99% likelihood to recommend. Conversely, Ulyses, with no recent reviews and a limited market footprint, may appeal if you seek a flexible platform for multiple hotel activities, provided you verify its current performance. For most hoteliers, recent reviews are a decisive factor; therefore, Noovy’s proven track record makes it the safer pick.
Noovy scores a 4.84/5 on ease of use, with reviewers praising its intuitive interface, quick onboarding, and user-friendly design. Its recent reviews mention simplified operations, fast training, and reliable support, making it suitable for teams of all tech skill levels. Ulyses, lacking recent user feedback, doesn’t provide clear insights into usability or onboarding. Given the high ratings and recent positive comments, Edge: Noovy.
Noovy offers 48 features, including unique tools like integrated CRS, mobile app, task management, and ID passport scanner, that Ulyses does not provide. Ulyses’s feature set focuses on marketing, bookings, revenue management, and guest communication, but its limited feature count (only 40 shared features with Noovy, and 4 exclusive) puts it at a disadvantage. For hotels needing specific automation tools and integrations, Noovy’s broader feature set gives it an edge.
Noovy’s support scores a 4.89/5, with recent reviews praising its quick, friendly, and effective service. Customers mention that support is available 24/7 and that onboarding is smooth, contributing significantly to their satisfaction. Ulyses, on the other hand, offers no recent reviews or support ratings, making it difficult to assess its service quality. Based on the available data, Edge: Noovy.
Noovy boasts 40 verified partners, including major OTAs like Booking.com and Expedia, with integrations spanning revenue, channel management, and guest communication. Ulyses has only 13 verified partners, sharing some with Noovy but lacking in the diversity and number of integrations. If your hotel relies heavily on seamless third-party connections, Noovy’s extensive integration network provides a clear advantage. Edge: Noovy.
Noovy’s recent reviews reveal a perfect 5/5 overall rating from 19 hotels, mainly boutique and city-center properties, with a 99% likelihood to recommend. Ulyses has no recent feedback or ratings, making it impossible to measure user satisfaction today. The recent, high ratings for Noovy reflect strong customer trust and satisfaction. Edge: Noovy.
Noovy charges a flat rate of $600 per month, without any trial, freemium, or implementation fees. Ulyses’s pricing details are unavailable, which complicates direct comparison. For transparent, predictable costs, Noovy’s clear pricing makes it easier to evaluate ROI. If Ulyses’s costs are comparable or lower, consider your need for proven performance instead of uncertainty.
Noovy presents a proven, highly-rated PMS solution tailored for independent and boutique hotels, with recent reviews confirming its reliability and ease of use. Its extensive integrations, automation features, and positive user feedback make it ideal for hotels seeking a straightforward yet comprehensive management system. Ulyses, while potentially offering broad functionality, lacks recent validation and a substantial market presence, making it a riskier choice unless your hotel specifically needs its diverse service management.
If your priority is a trusted platform with recent strong reviews, go with Noovy. Its high ratings, extensive features, and excellent support make it the safer, more reliable investment for most hotels. Conversely, if your hotel’s operations are highly complex and require a system capable of managing multiple services with flexibility, Ulyses might be worth exploring further—provided you can verify its current performance and support quality.

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. Noovy has an HT Score of 77 and Septeo Hospitality has 0. 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 →
