Choosing the right property management system (PMS) is crucial for your hotel’s efficiency, guest satisfaction, and revenue. Both Sedna PMS and ThinkReservations PMS aim to streamline operations, but they serve different hotel segments and have distinct strengths. Your decision should hinge on your hotel’s size, complexity, and the specific features you need most.
Sedna PMS, with no recent reviews or ratings, appears to be an untested option, whereas ThinkReservations boasts a high rating of 4.88 out of 5 based on 356 reviews, with recent feedback from 4 reviews in the last six months. Its strong, recent review activity makes it the more reliable choice today.
Sedna PMS and ThinkReservations both address core property management needs like reservations, guest management, and operational oversight. Sedna’s lack of reviews and recent data makes it difficult to assess its actual performance or customer satisfaction. Conversely, ThinkReservations shows a consistent track record of satisfied users, with recent reviews highlighting its ease of use, support, and feature set.
While Sedna appears to be a less tested product, ThinkReservations excels with a broad suite of features tailored for small to medium hotels and inns. Do you want a PMS with proven customer support and extensive functionality? Or are you willing to risk an unverified system?
If your hotel needs a trusted, feature-rich PMS that supports guest communication, integration with OTAs, and revenue management, go with ThinkReservations. It is ideal for small hotels, B&Bs, inns, and boutique properties that prioritize automation, guest experience, and data-driven decision-making.
Sedna might appeal if your hotel seeks a basic, possibly custom or niche solution, but without recent reviews or proven support, it’s a gamble. Larger or more complex properties should prefer a system with proven reliability, which is clearly ThinkReservations.
ThinkReservations scores 4.82 out of 5 for ease of use, with recent reviews emphasizing its intuitive interface, seamless onboarding, and quick staff adoption. Users describe it as "the best booking platform" that "made onboarding effortless," highlighting its user-friendly design and accessible support.
Sedna, with no reviews or ratings, offers no data on usability or onboarding experience. Without user feedback, it’s impossible to determine if Sedna simplifies hotel operations or complicates staff training.
Edge: ThinkReservations PMS.
ThinkReservations offers 39 features, including channel management, online booking, automated night audit, guest messaging, CRM, and integrated payment processing—covering all essential hotel operations. These features enable your team to automate tasks, improve guest communications, and analyze performance easily.
Sedna, with no unique features listed, appears to lack the comprehensive functionality that ThinkReservations provides. If advanced features like multi-channel integrations, automated reports, and guest engagement tools are priorities, ThinkReservations clearly has the edge.
Edge: ThinkReservations PMS.
ThinkReservations consistently receives high praise for support, with multiple reviews rating it 5/5. Customers mention "fantastic support," "easy access to knowledgeable staff," and "helpful onboarding," which foster confidence in their operational success.
Sedna, lacking any recent reviews or support ratings, offers no data on customer service quality. Without user feedback, you can’t be sure of the support quality, which is critical during implementation and ongoing use.
Edge: ThinkReservations PMS.
ThinkReservations integrates with 16 verified partners, including OTAs like Airbnb, Expedia, TripAdvisor, and channel management tools like Sojern and TrustYou. These integrations facilitate wider distribution and seamless operations.
Sedna has no verified integrations listed, which limits its connectivity to other platforms. If your hotel relies on multiple OTAs or revenue tools, ThinkReservations is the clear choice.
Edge: ThinkReservations PMS.
ThinkReservations holds a 4.88/5 rating based on 343 reviews, all recent, with many praising its operational efficiency, ease of use, and support. Hotels like Zion Ponderosa and Mansion at Noble Lane report revenue increases and streamlined workflows thanks to ThinkReservations.
Sedna, with no reviews or ratings, receives no user feedback. The absence of recent reviews makes it impossible to assess its satisfaction level or performance.
Edge: ThinkReservations PMS.
Sedna’s pricing details are unavailable, which suggests that it may not be transparent or publicly marketed. ThinkReservations charges $500/month with no setup or additional fees, providing a clear, predictable pricing structure.
If budget transparency is important, ThinkReservations’ straightforward pricing allows easier evaluation. The lack of pricing info for Sedna makes it less appealing unless custom quotes are available.
Not ideal if your hotel values reliable support, extensive features, or proven integrations.
Not ideal if your hotel requires custom or enterprise-level solutions, or if you prefer a system with no recent reviews.
ThinkReservations is the clear choice for most hotels today. Its high ratings, recent user feedback, extensive feature set, and strong support make it a dependable tool to improve operational efficiency and revenue.
Sedna PMS remains an unknown quantity, with no reviews or recent data supporting its effectiveness. Unless you have specific needs for a niche or custom system, opting for ThinkReservations is the safer and smarter decision.
In summary, if you want a proven, feature-rich PMS with excellent support and integrations, go with ThinkReservations. For hotels comfortable with unverified options or seeking a highly tailored solution, Sedna might be worth exploring—though the risks are evident.

| 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?

| 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. |
