Noovy PMS and VIPS PMS both serve independent hotels with comprehensive property management capabilities but diverge sharply in market presence, user feedback, and operational depth. Noovy is a modern, cloud-based system founded in 2017 with 25 verified reviews averaging 5/5 overall and a global footprint across seven countries. VIPS, established in 1988, targets small hotel groups mainly in Europe, but lacks public reviews and rating data on Hotel Tech Report, leaving its current market impact unclear.
Both systems address core hotel needs such as reservations, front desk operations, payments, and channel distribution. However, Noovy offers a more integrated user experience with direct OTA integrations, automated payment processing, and guest communication features that reduce manual workload. VIPS emphasizes multi-property management and flexibility with optional modules but provides limited transparency about user satisfaction and feature impact. The choice depends heavily on your hotel's operational scale, regional presence, and appetite for proven, data-backed technology.
If your hotel is a small to medium-sized independent property or boutique hotel in North America, Europe, or Asia Pacific, Noovy is the stronger choice based on 25 verified reviews averaging 5/5 overall, with specific praise for ease of use and payment automation. Its multi-currency support and integrated guest messaging streamline operations for properties with international guests. Conversely, VIPS may suit smaller hotel groups or independent hotels within Europe seeking flexible multi-property management and EPoS integration, but this recommendation rests on limited data as VIPS has no reviews or ratings on Hotel Tech Report.
Noovy’s robust OTA integrations and automated payment processing have received multiple user testimonials highlighting time savings of up to two hours daily, which VIPS does not demonstrate through verified reviews. VIPS’s unique features like gift vouchers and employee messaging may appeal to hotels that prioritize in-house guest engagement and staff communication, but without user feedback, their operational impact remains unconfirmed.
Noovy scores 4.9/5 in ease of use and 4.7/5 in onboarding based on 25 reviews, with operators praising its intuitive interface, quick staff training, and web-based access enabling front desk teams to manage bookings anywhere. Reviewers specifically mention that even inexperienced staff can quickly adopt the system, reducing errors and freeing management time.
VIPS has no publicly available ratings or reviews on ease of use or onboarding, so direct comparison is limited. Without evidence, VIPS may present unknown adoption challenges, especially for teams used to manual or legacy systems.
Edge: Even.
Noovy offers seven unique hotel features absent in VIPS, notably a mobile app enabling remote management, online checkout that expedites guest departure, guest communication including SMS messaging, integrated ID and passport scanning, and pre-filled registration forms—all of which reduce front desk workload and improve guest experience. Multi-currency support facilitates international transactions for properties with global clientele.
VIPS provides four unique features: gift vouchers for upselling and promotions, automated assignments which likely streamline task allocation, employee messaging to enhance internal communication, and an EPoS system integrating point-of-sale operations, valuable for hotels with F&B outlets.
Noovy’s unique features directly impact guest-facing workflows and payment automation, while VIPS’s features focus more on internal operations and ancillary revenue. Given Noovy’s broader feature set tailored to front desk and guest engagement, it offers a more comprehensive operational toolkit.
Edge: Noovy PMS.
Noovy’s customer support rating is 4.9/5 with onboarding at 4.7/5, supported by 25 user reviews highlighting responsive, friendly service and effective issue resolution. Users consistently note fast, knowledgeable assistance contributing to smooth system adoption and ongoing reliability.
VIPS provides no customer support ratings or user feedback on Hotel Tech Report, leaving its service quality unverified. The absence of data introduces uncertainty for hotels prioritizing dependable vendor support.
Edge: Even.
Noovy integrates with 41 verified partners compared to VIPS’s 12. Both share six common integrations including RevControl, SiteMinder, RoomPriceGenie, MyStay, RUNNR.ai, and Omniboost, essential for channel management and guest engagement.
Noovy’s exclusive integrations include major platforms like Omnibees, Bookboost, HOTELTIME, Customer Alliance, Bookassist, GuestRevu, Otelier, Revinate, and Shiji Group, broadening options for revenue management, guest feedback, and distribution connectivity. VIPS’s unique partners focus on hospitality groups and systems like Hotek Hospitality Group, Omnitec Systems, RoomChecking, Net Affinity / Smarthotel, and Mr Winston, which may support niche operational needs but lack the breadth Noovy offers.
Hotels requiring extensive OTA connectivity and third-party integrations will find Noovy’s ecosystem more comprehensive.
Edge: Noovy PMS.
Noovy holds a 5/5 overall rating across 25 reviews, with no recent reviews in the last six months but consistent historical feedback. Segment-specific ratings show 5/5 for city center hotels (17 reviews), boutique hotels (14), and airport/conference hotels (10), indicating strong satisfaction across diverse property types. Limited service and budget hotels rate Noovy 4.9/5 with eight reviews, suggesting reliable performance in cost-sensitive environments.
VIPS has no ratings or review volume on Hotel Tech Report, making any direct quality comparison impossible. This lack of data should caution buyers seeking verified user experiences.
Edge: Even.
Both Noovy and VIPS list a base price of $600.00 with no freemium, monthly flat, or per-room pricing disclosed. Neither charges an implementation fee or offers a trial period.
Noovy states an effective price of approximately $5 per room per month in its marketing, which aligns with the all-in-one package value reported by users. VIPS’s pricing details beyond the base fee are not publicly available, making total cost estimation difficult.

Not ideal if:
Noovy PMS and VIPS PMS both aim to streamline hotel operations, but Noovy stands apart through its extensive user validation, global reach, and rich feature set that directly impacts guest-facing workflows and revenue management. VIPS focuses on multi-property management and internal communication features but lacks public user feedback and integration depth, making its current effectiveness difficult to assess.
Choose Noovy if you operate a small to mid-sized independent or boutique hotel in North America, Europe, or Asia Pacific and need proven automation for payments, guest messaging, and channel management backed by 25 high-rated reviews. Noovy’s integrated mobile app and ID scanning also simplify check-in and remote management.
Choose VIPS if you manage a European independent hotel group seeking multi-property control, employee messaging, and integrated EPoS, and can accept the unknowns around user satisfaction. VIPS’s gift voucher and automated assignment features could add value for properties focusing on guest upselling and streamlined staff workflows.
Noovy’s transparent pricing, 41 integrations, and near-perfect user scores make it the safer choice for hotels seeking dependable, modern PMS technology. VIPS may fit niche European groups prioritizing internal communication and multi-property flexibility but requires more customer insight before a confident recommendation.

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 76 and VIPS 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 →
