Choosing the right property management system (PMS) can dramatically affect your hotel's operations, guest experience, and profitability. Both Thais-Soft by Thais PMS and ThinkReservations PMS aim to streamline management, but they diverge significantly in user feedback, feature set, and regional presence. Your decision should hinge on your specific hotel type, regional needs, and the features that matter most to your team.
Thais-Soft offers a broad management platform rooted in European markets, while ThinkReservations is a highly rated North American favorite with extensive integrations and a proven track record. So, which suits your hotel best?
Thais-Soft, founded in France, targets establishments of all sizes with a focus on centralized management and data security, emphasizing a SaaS model accessible from any device. ThinkReservations, based in the U.S., excels with a user-friendly interface, built-in channel integrations, and features designed to boost revenue and operational efficiency.
ThinkReservations boasts a review count of 356, with recent reviews in the last six months, all favoring its performance—giving it a significant edge over Thais-Soft, which lacks recent customer feedback and has no reviews. Given this, your confidence should lean toward ThinkReservations’ proven user satisfaction. Does regional presence or specific features influence your choice?
If your hotel operates primarily in North America and values extensive OTA integrations, revenue-enhancing features like upselling, and excellent customer support, ThinkReservations is the clear pick. Many users praise its intuitive design and ability to handle complex booking channels efficiently.
On the other hand, if your hotel is part of a European or international operation seeking centralized management, data security, or a niche feature like a Spa & Wellness module, Thais-Soft could be suitable, though its lack of recent reviews makes confidence difficult. For most North American hotels, ThinkReservations’ track record and recent reviews make it the better choice.
ThinkReservations holds a near-perfect ease of use rating of 4.82/5, with users describing it as "very easy to navigate" and "like adding another employee to our business." They mention seamless onboarding, intuitive interfaces, and quick staff adoption, indicating a gentle learning curve.
Thais-Soft scores 0/5 in ease of use, with no recent reviews or ratings, making it impossible to assess usability. Given the strong, recent positive feedback for ThinkReservations, the edge clearly goes to ThinkReservations in user-friendliness.
ThinkReservations offers 25 features exclusive to its platform, including a channel manager, online support, automated night audit, guest communication via SMS, multi-currency options, and integrated payment terminals—features that are absent from Thais-Soft. It also provides real-time reporting, shift planning, GDPR compliance, and online check-in.
Thais-Soft provides only one unique feature—a Spa & Wellness module—out of 14 shared features. Its feature set appears limited compared to ThinkReservations’ comprehensive suite. Therefore, ThinkReservations holds the advantage for hotels seeking a feature-rich, versatile system.
Both products boast high support ratings, but ThinkReservations’ support is rated 4.82/5, with reviews describing it as "fantastic," "friendly," and "helpful." Users highlight 24/7 availability and quick, knowledgeable responses, making operational issues easier to handle.
Thais-Soft, lacking recent reviews or ratings, provides no current support data. Its support quality cannot be reliably assessed, but based on the available data, ThinkReservations’ support is superior—edge: ThinkReservations.
Thais-Soft offers 17 verified integrations, including partners like SiteMinder, Cendyn, and RoomCloud, with some unique to its platform. ThinkReservations has 16 verified integrations, including popular OTAs like Airbnb, Expedia, and Tripadvisor.
While both systems have extensive integrations, ThinkReservations’ partnerships with major OTAs and digital channels—especially in North America—are more relevant for hotels relying heavily on these channels. Given the comparable total integrations and focus, the edge is marginal, but ThinkReservations’ OTA partnerships are more aligned with hotel needs.
ThinkReservations is rated 4.88/5 based on 356 reviews, with recent feedback emphasizing its ease of use, support, and features. Hotels of all sizes, especially B&Bs and small boutique hotels, rate it highly, with many noting it "transformed their operations" and "helped increase revenue."
Thais-Soft, with no recent reviews or ratings, cannot be reliably rated. Given the strong, recent user feedback, hoteliers favor ThinkReservations clearly.
Thais-Soft’s pricing details are unavailable, suggesting it might not follow a standard subscription model or is customized per client. ThinkReservations charges a flat fee of $500 per month, with no additional implementation or setup fees.
Considering the transparent pricing of ThinkReservations, the overall value is easier to evaluate. The lack of pricing data for Thais-Soft makes it challenging, but the proven ROI of ThinkReservations supports its cost.
Not ideal if:
Not ideal if:
Thais-Soft aims to serve all hotel sizes with a focus on centralized management and data security, especially in European markets. However, with no recent reviews or ratings, confidence in its current performance is limited. ThinkReservations, by contrast, is a well-rated North American PMS with nearly 360 reviews, consistently praised for its ease of use, support, and feature set.
If your hotel is based in North America or prioritizes revenue growth and operational efficiency, ThinkReservations is the clear choice. Its recent reviews confirm it as a reliable, user-friendly system that many hoteliers trust.
For European hotels or those needing niche features like Spa & Wellness, Thais-Soft remains an option, but the lack of recent customer feedback warrants caution.
In summary, for most hoteliers, especially in North America, ThinkReservations’ proven track record, recent reviews, and extensive feature set make it the more dependable choice.

| 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 →
