Choosing between p3 Booking Engine by p3 Hotels and RoomMaster booking engine hinges on your hotel’s specific needs, especially around customer experience, integration, and support. Both products aim to increase direct bookings and streamline reservations, but their approaches and strengths differ. While p3 Hotels focuses on high conversion and flexible features, RoomMaster offers extensive customization and PMS integration. Which one aligns best with your hotel’s strategic goals?
Both products aim to boost direct reservations, but p3 Hotels is designed as a high-converting, user-friendly platform with a focus on seamless booking journeys. RoomMaster emphasizes full customization, PMS integration, and a mobile-first design that transforms your website into a direct booking powerhouse. Do you prioritize ease of use and conversion rates, or deep integration and customization?
If your hotel needs a straightforward, high-conversion booking engine with a proven track record and recent reviews, go with p3 Hotels, which boasts 16 reviews in the last 6 months and an overall rating of 4.67/5. If your hotel requires extensive customization, PMS integration, and the ability to tailor the booking experience, RoomMaster’s broader partner ecosystem and 70 reviews (with recent feedback) make it the better choice. Your property’s complexity and technological needs will determine the ideal platform.
p3 Hotels has a higher ease of use rating at 4.5/5 compared to RoomMaster’s 4.43/5, reflecting its more intuitive and modern interface. p3’s onboarding process is also rated higher at 4.79/5, with clients praising its quick and smooth implementation, alongside supportive staff. RoomMaster, while easy for seasoned users, receives slightly lower support ratings, indicating a steeper learning curve for some staff. Edge: p3 Hotels.
p3 Hotels offers 12 features exclusive to its platform, including Google Hotel Ads Bookings, Apple Pay, Paypal, Stripe, and customizable exit intent modals—features that enhance flexibility and marketing reach. RoomMaster provides a broader set of 32 shared features but lacks the unique capabilities p3 offers. If advanced marketing integrations and flexible payment options matter, p3’s feature set edges out RoomMaster. Edge: p3 Hotels.
p3 Hotels has a customer support rating of 4.59/5, with clients highlighting its responsiveness and staff availability. Review quotes mention, “The staff at P3 are fantastic, always available and easy to get on with,” emphasizing their proactive approach. RoomMaster’s support, rated at 4.16/5, is noted as helpful but occasionally inconsistent, with some users citing difficulties in getting timely assistance. For more reliable support, edge: p3 Hotels.
RoomMaster boasts 56 verified integrations, significantly more than p3 Hotels’ 13, including many niche and regional partners like Sage, GuestRevu, and Otelier. Shared integrations include Triptease and Oracle Hospitality. If your hotel relies on a diverse ecosystem of third-party tools, RoomMaster’s extensive partner list offers greater flexibility. Edge: roommaster.
p3 Hotels scores 4.67/5 overall with 94% likelihood to recommend, and recent reviews consistently praise its ability to improve conversion and support. Hoteliers in independent and resort segments rate p3 higher, with a 4.75/5 rating from 14 reviews. RoomMaster, with 70 reviews and a 4.31/5 rating, is valued mostly by boutique and resort hotels but has lower recent review volume. The more recent and higher-rated p3 platform is the clear leader. Edge: p3 Hotels.
Both products are priced at a base fee of $500 monthly with no implementation or trial fees, making them comparable on pricing. Additional costs may arise from third-party integrations or custom features, but both platforms present transparent pricing models. Your decision should consider value beyond price, given their similar costs.
p3 Hotels is a high-conversion booking engine with a recent, large volume of positive reviews, making it the recommended choice if you prioritize ease of use, support, and innovative features. It excels at increasing direct bookings through a user-friendly interface and marketing integrations, backed by a solid recent review count and high NPS score.
RoomMaster offers more integrations and customization options, making it suitable for larger or highly operational hotels with complex needs. Its extensive partner ecosystem and longstanding reputation appeal if you require tailored solutions and PMS integration but are comfortable with a steeper learning curve.
In summary, if your hotel values recent feedback, ease of adoption, and a focus on conversion, p3 Hotels is the better pick. If your property demands extensive customization, integration, and control, RoomMaster is the stronger option.

| 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.

|
How customer-centric is this organization?

| Reach, Staying Power & Resources |
|
How extensive is this company's reach and resourcing?
