RoomRaccoon PMS and Sirvoy both serve small to medium-sized hotels, B&Bs, and boutique properties with cloud-based property management systems. RoomRaccoon excels with a broader feature set suited for independent hotels aiming to increase direct bookings and ancillary revenue through dynamic pricing and extensive automation. Sirvoy focuses on simplicity, affordability, and support, appealing to properties valuing easy guest communication and reliable channel management.
Both systems solve the core problem of managing reservations, availability, and guest communications across multiple channels, reducing manual errors and overbookings. RoomRaccoon integrates a revenue management module and an automated night audit that aid revenue growth and operational efficiency. Sirvoy prioritizes guest messaging and 24/7 live support, which improves staff responsiveness and guest satisfaction. The choice hinges on whether the hotel prioritizes automation-driven revenue tools or streamlined guest communication with robust support.
If your hotel is an independent boutique or B&B seeking to boost revenue through automation and upselling, RoomRaccoon is the better option. Its 22 unique features include integrated revenue management and dynamic pricing tools, which helped users like Buff and Fellow Eco Cabins increase RevPAR by 60%. This system fits hotels with dedicated revenue managers or front desk teams needing multifaceted tools to reduce manual work while increasing ancillary sales.
If you run a smaller property, such as a hostel, B&B, or limited-service hotel, especially in regions covered by Sirvoy’s 49-country footprint, Sirvoy’s affordability and live 24/7 support make it a strong candidate. Sirvoy’s SMS messaging and centralized guest communication ease front desk workflows and improve guest engagement. Its users report quick setup and ease of use that benefit first-time PMS adopters or lean teams.
Data for large hotels is limited for both products; neither targets high-scale branded portfolios extensively. For properties needing multi-property management or advanced scalability, RoomRaccoon offers stronger integrations but may still be basic for large operations. Sirvoy’s feature set is more constrained, focusing on core PMS functions.
RoomRaccoon scores 4.7/5 in ease of use, marginally above Sirvoy’s 4.6/5, with both products rated equally for onboarding at 4.6/5. Reviewers of RoomRaccoon praise its intuitive calendar with color-coded occupancy plans and quick access to booking status, which simplifies front desk workflows. Training videos and guided sessions reduce staff onboarding time.
Sirvoy users highlight the system’s straightforward interface and quick configuration, noting that even those without technical experience can manage daily operations efficiently. Its 24/7 live chat support helps resolve user questions on the spot, which accelerates adoption.
Both systems support lean teams and small properties with minimal training demands. Given the minimal difference in ratings and similar onboarding scores, neither product holds a clear advantage in ease of use.
Edge: Even.
RoomRaccoon offers 22 unique features beyond Sirvoy’s 14, including a revenue management module, automated night audit, mobile app, guest profiles, integrated CRS, and ancillary revenue tracking. These features enable dynamic pricing, real-time channel updates, and detailed analytics dashboards, which improve revenue optimization and operational control. For example, the automated night audit reduces front desk workload by reconciling daily transactions overnight, freeing staff for guest service.
Sirvoy’s unique features center on guest communication with SMS messaging and centralized guest messaging, plus online 24/7 support embedded in the system. It also includes task management, automated reminders, rules-based room assignments, PCI and GDPR compliance, and tablet/kiosk check-in. These improve guest engagement and compliance but lack the advanced revenue tools RoomRaccoon delivers.
RoomRaccoon’s broader feature set supports more complex operations and revenue growth strategies. Sirvoy emphasizes guest interaction and compliance, which benefits properties with lean staff and guest-centric workflows.
Edge: RoomRaccoon PMS.
Sirvoy leads with a customer support rating of 4.9/5 versus RoomRaccoon’s 4.5/5, while both have an identical onboarding rating of 4.6/5. Sirvoy reviewers frequently note support availability at any time of day, with fast, knowledgeable responses and real-human chat that help avoid costly errors and downtime.
RoomRaccoon’s support is praised for hands-on training and proactive guidance during implementation. However, several users report slow or absent follow-up after setup, with no weekend support and limited availability outside 9-5 email and webchat. This gap is critical for weekend-heavy properties or those needing rapid resolution during peak hours.
Sirvoy’s 24/7 live support and higher customer support rating reflect a better experience, especially for properties without dedicated IT staff.
Edge: Sirvoy.
RoomRaccoon supports 87 verified integrations, over four times Sirvoy’s 21. Both share 15 partners, including Bookboost, RevControl, SiteMinder, TrustYou, and Tripadvisor. RoomRaccoon’s exclusive integrations cover key revenue tools like FLEXIPASS Keyless Mobile Access, HQ revenue, and Customer Alliance, enabling hotels to tailor operations with advanced digital marketing and keyless entry.
Sirvoy’s unique partners include Zingle, HelloShift, Cloudbeds, and Net Affinity, focusing more on communication, benchmarking, and website technologies.
Hotels needing comprehensive connectivity to revenue, marketing, and operational systems will benefit from RoomRaccoon’s extensive ecosystem. Sirvoy’s fewer integrations suffice for properties with simpler tech stacks or those relying on core OTA channels.
Edge: RoomRaccoon PMS.
Overall ratings are close: RoomRaccoon at 4.7/5 from 210 reviews and Sirvoy at 4.8/5 from 157 reviews. However, Sirvoy’s 61 reviews in the last six months average 4.8/5, indicating consistent quality, while RoomRaccoon has only 1 recent review, limiting current rating reliability.
Segment breakdown shows both excel with boutique hotels and B&Bs. RoomRaccoon’s boutique hotels (101 reviews) rate it 4.7/5; B&Bs (90 reviews) at 4.8/5. Sirvoy’s B&Bs (70 reviews) rate 4.7/5; boutique hotels (39 reviews) at 4.7/5. Hostels rate Sirvoy slightly higher (4.9/5 from 15 reviews) compared to RoomRaccoon’s 4.8/5 from 8 reviews.
Sirvoy also leads slightly in limited service and budget hotels (4.7/5 across 32 reviews vs. RoomRaccoon’s 4.7/5 over 35 reviews). RoomRaccoon’s luxury hotel rating is 4.8/5 (66 reviews), compared to Sirvoy’s 4.8/5 (18 reviews), but Sirvoy has fewer luxury hotel reviews.
Recent review activity favors Sirvoy’s ratings as more reflective of the current product. Both products enjoy high likelihood-to-recommend scores: 94% RoomRaccoon, 95% Sirvoy.
Edge: Even.
RoomRaccoon’s base price is $1,000 with no published trial, monthly flat, or per-room pricing. Sirvoy’s base price is $200 with a 30-day trial but likewise lacks monthly flat or per-room pricing. Neither charges implementation fees.
Sirvoy’s lower base price and trial option make it more accessible for properties testing PMS solutions or operating on tighter budgets. RoomRaccoon’s pricing likely reflects its broader feature set and revenue management capabilities but may require a larger upfront investment.
Hotels with constrained budgets will find Sirvoy’s pricing more attractive, while those focused on maximizing revenue through automation and integrations may justify RoomRaccoon’s higher cost.

Not ideal if:
RoomRaccoon PMS and Sirvoy both address core property management needs for small and medium properties but diverge sharply in feature depth, support model, and pricing. RoomRaccoon focuses on revenue optimization with dynamic pricing, integrated CRS, and extensive automation, making it suitable for independent boutique hotels and B&Bs aiming to grow direct sales and ancillary income. Sirvoy emphasizes ease of use, live 24/7 support, and guest messaging, benefiting small properties and lean teams needing reliable communication and straightforward PMS capabilities.
Choose RoomRaccoon PMS if your hotel requires advanced revenue management tools, a rich integration ecosystem (87 partners), and automated workflows like night audits and AI assistance. RoomRaccoon’s case studies show substantial RevPAR growth and operational time savings, signaling strong ROI for properties willing to invest upfront.
Choose Sirvoy if your property values responsive customer support (4.9/5), guest communication features like SMS messaging, and straightforward booking and channel management at a lower base price with a trial period. Sirvoy’s recent review volume and rating (61 reviews at 4.8/5 in the last six months) confirm a stable, well-supported system ideal for smaller operations or first-time PMS adopters.
The decision rests on balancing RoomRaccoon’s advanced revenue tools against Sirvoy’s superior support and ease of communication. Both maintain high overall satisfaction, but the optimal choice depends on your hotel’s operational priorities and budget.

Users like that Sirvoy can be adapted to different property types and workflows, but they frequently ask for more configurable fields, colors, room types, and display options.

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. RoomRaccoon has an HT Score of 75 and Sirvoy has 89. 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 →
