Choosing between Rezovation by Rezovation and Shiji Daylight PMS hinges on your hotel’s size, complexity, and specific operational needs. Rezovation primarily targets small hotels, inns, and B&Bs with a focus on online reservations, website design, and marketing, but it lacks recent reviews and a broader feature set. Conversely, Shiji Group’s Daylight PMS caters to a broad spectrum of hotels, from independent boutique properties to large chains, with extensive features and a solid global presence, supported by recent reviews and a high customer recommendation rate. Which system aligns better with your hotel’s growth plans and operational demands?
Rezovation emphasizes online reservations, internet marketing, and website integration, making it suitable for small properties that depend heavily on online visibility and direct booking channels. Shiji Daylight PMS offers a more comprehensive suite of features, including guest profiles, automation, task management, and extensive integrations, designed for hotels seeking operational efficiency and scalability.
Rezovation’s score is virtually nonexistent in recent reviews, with no current user feedback to confirm its performance or support quality. In contrast, Shiji Group’s product boasts 32 reviews in the last six months, with an overall NPS score of 8.94 out of 10, and 90% of users would recommend it. Given the recent activity and higher engagement, Shiji Daylight PMS is the clearer choice for hotels prioritizing ongoing support and proven performance.
Do you need a straightforward booking-focused system, or a flexible, feature-rich platform capable of handling complex operations?
If your hotel needs a modern, scalable system with extensive features like guest profiles, multi-lingual support, task management, and integrations with CRS, POS, and payment systems, go with Shiji Daylight PMS. It’s ideal for hotels aiming to streamline operations across multiple properties or seeking advanced automation tools.
If your property is a small inn, bed & breakfast, or boutique hotel primarily relying on online reservations and simple marketing tools, Rezovation might seem appealing. However, with no recent reviews and a limited feature set, it’s less reliable for future growth or complex management needs.
For hotels looking to grow, improve operational consistency, or leverage robust integrations, Shiji’s proven track record makes it the better investment. Conversely, Rezovation may only suit very basic needs or properties that prefer minimal technology investment today.
Shiji Group’s Daylight PMS scores an impressive 4.63 out of 5 for ease of use, thanks to its intuitive, user-friendly interface, detailed training materials, and positive onboarding reviews. Users frequently mention how quickly staff can learn the system and how it simplifies daily tasks, reducing operational friction.
Rezovation, on the other hand, receives no recent ratings, and its usability is unverified in current user feedback. Given the lack of recent data, it’s impossible to confirm whether Rezovation’s interface or onboarding process is effective.
Edge: Shiji Group.
Shiji Group offers 98 distinct features, including guest profiles, multi-lingual support, task management, online check-in and checkout, integrated CRS, automated night audits, guest messaging, and extensive reporting tools. Its suite supports property management, revenue management, marketing, and guest engagement, with seamless integrations to third-party systems.
Rezovation’s feature set appears limited to core property management and online reservations, with no verified unique features beyond basic booking. Its capabilities do not match the breadth or depth of Shiji’s platform.
Edge: Shiji Group.
Shiji Group’s support scores 4.53 out of 5, with reviews highlighting its professionalism, helpfulness, and proactive onboarding team. One user noted, “Support team is always available 24/7 and very responsive,” emphasizing reliability.
Rezovation has no recent reviews or data on customer support, making it impossible to gauge service quality. Without current feedback, Shiji’s support remains the clearly superior option.
Edge: Shiji Group.
Shiji Group integrates with 64 verified partners, including major players like SiteMinder, Revinate, Duetto, Amadeus, and others, providing a broad ecosystem that enhances hotel operations. These integrations support booking channels, revenue management, guest feedback, and payment processing.
Rezovation, with zero verified integrations, limits your hotel to basic functionalities and manual processes. For scalable growth and operational flexibility, Shiji’s extensive integration network is unmatched.
Edge: Shiji Group.
With 32 recent reviews, mostly from medium to large properties, Shiji Group enjoys a high recommendation rate of 90%. Hotels across segments like luxury, branded, and independent properties highlight its user-friendly interface, automation, and support as key advantages.
Rezovation’s lack of recent reviews means there’s no current data on user satisfaction. Given the engagement and positive feedback for Shiji, it clearly holds higher ratings among active hoteliers.
Edge: Shiji Group.
Rezovation’s pricing model isn’t publicly available, and it appears to lack transparent or recent pricing information. It may function on a bespoke or quote basis, which can be less predictable.
Shiji Group’s base price is listed at $1,200 per month, with no free tier or trial mentioned. This cost includes access to its extensive feature set and integrations, representing good value for medium to larger hotels.
Not ideal if your hotel plans to scale, needs advanced automation, or requires extensive integrations.
Not ideal if your hotel is very small with minimal management needs and prefers a low-cost, simple reservation system.
The core difference is scale and feature depth: Rezovation targets small, reservation-centric properties but offers limited recent support and no active reviews. Shiji Group’s Daylight PMS, with its 32 recent reviews, extensive features, and high user ratings, is suited for hotels seeking operational growth and integration.
If your hotel plans to expand, automate, and improve guest experiences at scale, Shiji Group provides the proven platform with extensive support and integrations. Rezovation might only serve very basic needs or properties on a tight budget with minimal growth ambitions.
For most hotels aiming for future resilience and operational efficiency, Shiji Daylight PMS is the recommended choice.

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. Rezovation has an HT Score of 0 and Shiji Group 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 →
