Choosing the right property management system is essential for streamlining your hotel’s operations, increasing occupancy, and boosting revenue. OnRes PMS by OnRes and RoomRaccoon PMS by RoomRaccoon both aim to solve these challenges but diverge significantly in their market presence, features, and user feedback. How do you determine which platform aligns best with your hotel’s size, location, and operational needs?
Both products cater to different segments: OnRes positions itself as a comprehensive solution for larger, perhaps international, properties, while RoomRaccoon focuses on small-to-medium independent hotels and boutique properties. But which one truly delivers the value and ease of use your team needs to succeed?
OnRes boasts a broad suite of features aimed at large-scale operations, including advanced reservation tools and extensive channel management, but it has almost no recent reviews and a zero-star rating on HotelTechReport. Its lack of updated review data means we can't confidently assess its current performance or customer satisfaction.
RoomRaccoon, on the other hand, has accumulated 169 reviews in the past six months, with a high 4.88/5 overall rating and a 94% likelihood of recommendation. Its recent reviews praise its ease of use, automation, and solid support, making it the stronger choice for hotels seeking a modern, reliable PMS.
Are you comfortable relying on a platform with no recent user feedback? Or do you prefer an actively reviewed product with demonstrable satisfaction?
If your hotel is a small boutique, bed & breakfast, or independent property looking for an all-in-one solution that simplifies operations, RoomRaccoon is the clear choice. Its user-friendly interface, built-in booking engine, channel manager, and automation tools are tailored to smaller teams that need to do more with less effort.
Conversely, if your hotel is part of a larger chain, has complex distribution needs, and requires a more extensive system with GDS connectivity and advanced reservation management, OnRes might appeal—though its lack of recent reviews and user feedback makes it difficult to confirm current performance.
In short, for small to medium independent hotels, RoomRaccoon offers proven, recent success. Larger operations should investigate OnRes further, but with limited recent data, RoomRaccoon remains the safer bet.
RoomRaccoon’s user interface consistently receives high praise, with a 4.74/5 ease-of-use rating and many reviews noting how intuitive and simple it is to learn. Onboarding experiences are generally smooth, with users highlighting how quickly staff can adapt, especially for smaller teams.
In contrast, OnRes has no recent ratings or reviews, making it impossible to gauge ease of use today. Given the lack of current user feedback, we must favor RoomRaccoon for its proven, user-friendly design.
Edge: RoomRaccoon.
RoomRaccoon offers a suite of 51 features, including a channel manager, revenue management, booking engine, automated guest communication, integrated payments, housekeeping modules, and mobile apps. Many of these features are built-in, making it a comprehensive all-in-one platform.
OnRes claims to be feature-rich but provides no detailed list or recent updates, and the absence of reviews leaves its actual feature set unverified. With confirmed features and recent positive reviews, RoomRaccoon’s comprehensive toolbox takes the edge.
Edge: RoomRaccoon.
RoomRaccoon’s support, rated at 4.53/5, earns praise for responsiveness and helpfulness, with reviews noting quick issue resolution and attentive service. Users appreciate the ongoing support during onboarding and daily operations.
OnRes provides no recent support ratings or reviews, so we cannot assess its current support quality. Given the clear recent positive feedback for RoomRaccoon, it leads in this category.
Edge: RoomRaccoon.
RoomRaccoon integrates with 88 verified partners, including popular solutions like Sage, Becurious, Paxxio, and RevControl. It offers extensive custom integrations, real-time updates, and no additional costs for unlimited channels.
OnRes has only 2 verified partners, with no detailed integration list, limiting its connectivity options. In today’s hospitality environment, the breadth and flexibility of integrations matter—RoomRaccoon’s advantage here is significant.
Edge: RoomRaccoon.
RoomRaccoon, with over 169 recent reviews, maintains a 4.88/5 rating and a 94% likelihood to recommend, reflecting high satisfaction across small hotels, boutique properties, and independent operators. Reviewers frequently mention its ease, automation, and revenue increases.
OnRes lacks recent reviews and scores, so its current standing is unverified. Considering recent hoteliers’ feedback, RoomRaccoon's reputation is far superior.
Edge: RoomRaccoon.
OnRes does not list specific pricing, suggesting it may be custom or enterprise-level, often associated with larger properties. RoomRaccoon’s pricing starts at $1,000 monthly, with no free tier or trial, reflecting its focus on small to medium properties.
Without detailed OnRes pricing, direct comparison is difficult, but the predictable monthly fee for RoomRaccoon makes budgeting easier for small hotels.
Not ideal if your hotel is small, boutique, or prefers quick deployment, given the limited recent user feedback and high complexity.
Not ideal if you manage a large hotel chain or require extensive enterprise-level features not confirmed in recent reviews.
The core difference lies in their market focus and recent user feedback. OnRes aims to serve larger hotel operations but suffers from a complete lack of recent reviews and ratings, making its current performance uncertain.
RoomRaccoon, with over 169 recent reviews and a near-perfect rating, delivers a trusted, user-friendly, all-in-one PMS tailored for small to medium independent hotels. It streamlines operations, automates guest communications, and increases revenue through features like yield management and direct integrations.
For small hotels seeking a reliable, modern platform that users love today, RoomRaccoon is the clear choice. Larger chains should proceed cautiously with OnRes, pending more recent performance data and reviews.
This comprehensive comparison should help your team confidently select the PMS platform that aligns with your hotel’s size, goals, and operational style.

Some reviewers mention limitations when managing reservations within the same room category, especially when guests need to be moved from room to room. That points to a need for smoother room assignment handling in busy hotels with more complex occupancy patterns.

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. OnRes has an HT Score of 0 and RoomRaccoon has 77. 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 →
