When choosing a property management system, your hotel’s needs dictate the best fit. Noovy PMS by Noovy offers a comprehensive, user-friendly platform with recent, highly-rated reviews, while Skyware Systems provides a less-reviewed but historically established solution. Both aim to streamline operations but diverge significantly in features, support, and regional presence. So, which one aligns better with your hotel’s priorities?
Both Noovy PMS and Skyware Systems are designed to automate hotel operations, from reservations to guest management. Noovy’s recent reviews highlight a highly-rated, all-in-one platform that combines PMS, channel management, booking engine, and guest communication tools, with 19 reviews in the last six months. Skyware, with no recent reviews, is a largely older platform with a narrower feature set, mainly focused on front-office operations and conference services, but lacks recent hotelier feedback. Do you prioritize up-to-date reviews and a broad feature set?
Noovy’s strength lies in its ease of use, customer support, and extensive integrations, making it ideal for hotels needing a modern, fully integrated management solution. Skyware’s longer history may appeal to hotels seeking a more traditional, possibly less feature-rich platform. However, the lack of recent hotel reviews makes it harder to gauge current performance. Are you looking for proven reliability or a fresh, reviewed solution?
If your hotel needs a complete, easy-to-use platform with excellent support, go with Noovy PMS. It’s designed for independent hotels, boutique properties, and city-center hotels seeking automation, online check-in/out, integrated payment processing, and guest messaging. Its recent high ratings and 19 reviews in the last six months show strong current satisfaction.
If your hotel operates primarily in North America and requires a more traditional, possibly more budget-conscious system, Skyware might be considered. However, its lack of recent reviews and smaller regional presence (only North America) suggest it may not meet the demands of modern hoteliers seeking innovation and active support. For most hotels, Noovy’s recent feedback makes it the obvious choice.
Noovy’s user interface scores a 4.84/5, with reviews praising its intuitive design, ease of onboarding, and minimal training required. Customers frequently mention how quickly staff adapt and how the system reduces operational errors, with many describing onboarding as smooth and fast.
Skyware, with no recent reviews and a smaller support footprint, provides an undisclosed user experience. The older platform may have a steeper learning curve or outdated interface, but without recent hotelier feedback, it’s difficult to assess usability confidently.
Edge: Noovy PMS.
Noovy offers 28 features exclusive to its platform, including payment processing, digital registration, native email marketing, integrated payment terminal, online check-in/out, guest messaging, real-time reporting, and task management. This breadth supports full automation, guest engagement, and operational efficiency.
Skyware provides only 3 features unique to its system, notably spa & wellness modules and gift vouchers, mainly targeting conference and spa operations rather than comprehensive hotel management. The shared features total 20, but Noovy’s extensive suite makes it a more complete solution for hotels wanting broad functionality.
Edge: Noovy PMS.
Noovy’s support ratings are outstanding, with a 4.89/5 score and many reviews praising their quick, friendly, and effective assistance. Customers highlight how support helps resolve issues swiftly, contributing to high satisfaction and ease of onboarding.
Skyware, with no recent reviews or data, cannot be confidently assessed. Its smaller team and regional focus suggest support might be less responsive or comprehensive, especially compared to Noovy’s recent stellar ratings.
Edge: Noovy PMS.
Noovy boasts 40 verified partner integrations, including major OTAs like Booking.com and Expedia, as well as tools like Revinate and GuestRevu. Its extensive partner network streamlines reservations, reputation management, and marketing efforts.
Skyware has 15 verified partners, including some shared with Noovy, but fewer overall. Its integrations focus on traditional hospitality tools, lacking some of the modern, marketing, and reputation management integrations Noovy provides.
Edge: Noovy PMS.
Noovy’s recent reviews (19 in the last six months) give it an overall 5/5 rating, with a 99% likelihood to recommend and a NPS of 9.89/5. Hoteliers praise its ease of use, support, and feature set, especially in boutique and city-center hotels.
Skyware has no recent reviews or ratings, making it impossible to compare current user sentiment. Its older platform may not inspire the same confidence in modern hoteliers seeking active, recent validation.
Edge: Noovy PMS.
Noovy charges a flat rate of $600 per month, with no implementation fee or trial. Its transparent pricing includes all core features and support, making it straightforward for hotels to budget.
Skyware’s pricing is not publicly disclosed, and there’s no trial info available. This lack of transparency, combined with no recent reviews, complicates cost comparison or value assessment.
Not ideal if your hotel primarily operates in regions outside North America, Europe, or Asia Pacific without local support, or if your operation relies heavily on conference or spa services.
Not ideal if your hotel requires recent reviews, modern integrations, or a broad feature set tailored for modern hospitality trends.
Noovy PMS stands out due to its recent reviews, high satisfaction ratings, and extensive feature set. It’s best suited for hotels that want an all-in-one, easy-to-use platform with active support and integrations.
Skyware Systems offers a more traditional, perhaps less feature-rich platform, with limited recent hotelier feedback. It may be suitable for properties with straightforward needs focused on front-office operations and conference services.
For most hotels evaluating today’s hotel management solutions, Noovy’s current review momentum and feature richness make it the stronger choice. If your hotel values recent positive feedback, robust integrations, and ease of adoption, Noovy PMS is the clear winner.

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. Noovy has an HT Score of 71 and Skyware Systems has 0. 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 →
