I analyzed all of Preno’s product reviews, expert recommendations, features, capabilities, pricing, integrations and more to produce the below summary.
Hoteliers say
Preno is praised for lowering PMS costs while keeping operations simple for small hotels and motels: users say it’s easy to learn, speeds up staff workflows, and improves housekeeping, billing, reporting, and multi-property transfers. Strong Xero/Lightspeed integrations and responsive support help reduce admin work and keep costs and guest experience under control, though some users want better UI, more payment options, deeper customization, and stronger after-hours support.

This description was generated by AI which analyzed the following sources to summarize a description of Preno products, features and capabilities. Leveraging user generated verified data sources allows us to generate a more helpful and realistic description for hoteliers free of sales promotion and hyperbole.
Sources
Verified hotelier reviews
We analyze all verified product reviews as a way to understand and summarize what real users/hoteliers are saying about the product to provide a more accurate and relevant description for buyers than only what vendors provide.
We analyze recommendations from industry experts who we ask to describe the most valuable features and capabilities of the product as well as key differentiators and what types of hotels the product works best for to extract unique insights and perspective for buyers.
While its important to incorporate analysis from verified user reviews and industry experts to create more balanced content, the way a vendor describes their overall company and vision can also shed light on their unique perspective or way of doing business which is why the AI ingests this information as well to add more context to paint a picture of what the company says vs what users and industry experts say.

"I was adjusting pricing individually all the time. I used to go in every day. Now I go in once a week."
Jess Whistance
Owner @
"I wasn't having to go in every day, check and make adjustments — it saved us time and gives us peace of mind whilst having managers in there that we are gaining the best possible revenue."
Jade Vincent
"No matter who you talk to within the Preno team, they can help you within minutes. That's really important when you're open 24 hours yourself."
Sam
Office Manager @
"It was also vital for us to have a simple, easy to navigate, easy to manage system for new staff coming on board. I’ve been amazed at how fast I can access the reporting I need as Preno integrates with our payment gateway, Stripe, and MYOB our accounting software."
Andrea Messenger
Owner @
Plateau Lodge
"We have been using Preno for just over a month and we love it! It suits our small accommodation business perfectly. The team are always on hand to reply whenever you send a message. They are happy to take on any suggestions and any little glitches have been solved straight away."
Amanda Wilkinson
Owner @
Savannah Lodge
"We looked around at a range of options and settled with Preno because of its integration with Xero, cloud based and ease in the entire reservation process. We have got that and a whole lot more. It is incredibly user friendly, especially for us with a touch screen system. The team at Preno are constantly reviewing the software and listening to users feedback to improve the software. I can only see Preno becoming a better and better product with time.""
Nick Fitzgerald
Owner @
Aura Accommodation
"I bought Waiheke Island motel three years ago, and more recently Onetangi Beach Apartments which was both using antique booking systems. I switched to Preno mainly because of its integration with Xero, and it’s user-friendly interface. In particular, the motel has many contractor guests, many of whom require invoicing, and the Preno/Xero integration makes this easy to manage."
Christina Hyde
Owner @
Onetangi Beach Apartments
"We recently switched from Seekom to Preno to handle our luxury lodge’s rooms, and we could not be happier. Not only was the transition extremely smooth, but the level of support we have received from Preno has been exemplary!"
Most accommodation management software is built for large chains and scaled down - at that size, it creates work rather than removing it. Preno is property management software built exclusively for independent properties: one clear view of bookings, payments, channels and daily operations, so nothing gets missed and the numbers add up.
Backed by real people who respond fast, with native two-way Xero integration, a direct booking engine connected to Google Hotels, and month-to-month pricing with no lock-in contracts.

Effective customer service rates very highly when deciding on products to use. Preno meets that requirement. We have been using Marie - delightful, patient with outstanding patience.
What do you dislike or think could be improved?
There is very little I can suggest at this stage. Ongoing customer help when needed is important. Filling out all the requirements of booking.com is challenging - help with that would be great.

Preno from the start has been user freindly. I have been in teh industry for many decdes and this sytem ticks the boxes. I do like teh idea its NZ onwed and operted too .The best thing I do like about it is the ease. When training new staff that do not have the skills for completed systems - Preno ticks the box. Support and Help is just a few steps away and once gain not a completed to reach out.
What do you dislike or think could be improved?
What could be improved is -needing another payment intergration apart from stripe & windcave. What about building an internal payment processing space inside preno that doesnt have a 3% processing fee, be the first ones in the industry to have a low cost payment gateway built in. alot of this money goes off shore which is a real shame

The Preno team are always willing, and more than able to help with any queries. They provide help when needed and do all they can to accommodate requests. Preno provides a simple solution to a difficult and complex job, by providing a system that is easy to navigate, set up and use.
What do you dislike or think could be improved?
Increase integration with small OTA's and expand on integrated payment options. Slight changes to the software, however, when a change has been suggested and can be made they are more than willing to implement it to suit our business needs.

The booking engine definitely saves my time and manage my reservations. It easily manages room availability and pricing, it sends confirmation and reminder notifications via email and process a guests payments without problems.
What do you dislike or think could be improved?
I'm not sure what could be improved, at the moment everything works great. I just wish the promo codes where in my package.

We were looking for an easy, more effective way than our previous supplier, to ensure connectivity between all booking websites and our own website in other words, a channel manager as well as a "guest management system". Preno is intuitive, configurable and very easy to use with professional streamlining everything from front desk management to bookings. It is also proving very effective at assisting us gain additional bookings and boosting income for our lodge which is an unexpected benefit. It has the ability to streamline guest billing, along with efficient housekeeping management, which will reduce manual tasks and enhance operational efficiency. Basically it feels modern, innovative and accessible. The communication is clear and the team extremely helpful. The move from one system to another was really seamless. The ability to speak with a person in New Zealand who understand us and our business is so extremely valuable. We have found other channel managers do not provide the same real time support and do not integrate such an efficient PMS with the channel management side - we have flexibility to manage our guests with full details which are easy to access (and which link to return bookings) as well as the effective booking system and a marketing system. From a technology perspective is easy to use and clear as are the manuals provided which are kept up to date. As well Preno listens to feedback and develops additional abilities based on feedback - eg setting up different packages. The strong focus is on not just customer service but working with their partner network. From a guest perspective the new direct booking system enables additional packages to be clearly outlined and is much more attractive to use for customers. We have, after just a couple of weeks, received very positive feedback from our guests. We also love the ability to operate from anywhere due to its cloud-based characteristics.
What do you dislike or think could be improved?
At present we cannot think of any improvements which could be made - we have found everything to be as we anticipated, no frustrations! You can operate the software in minutes and the speed of updating is excellent as well.

I have worked with several other systems, each of which had its issues, before finally landing with Preno, with which I've been very happy since day one. The team is very responsive whenever I have an issue, and even incorporated several improvements that I've suggested. They are also very easy to work with and make this aspect of the business very pleasant.
What do you dislike or think could be improved?
The system to generate invoices was one of my early issues with the product, but they have made changes to improve it, though it is still not quite perfect.

Preno is easy to use. It makes the process of bookings simple and straightforward. Invoices are easily generated. Housekeeping helps greatly to keep everything on track
What do you dislike or think could be improved?
Per country, if it could be possible to add the calendar that highlights public holidays on the grid. This makes it easier to identify days of interest.

*Bookings are easy to enter.
*Invoicing agents is very easy.
*The multitude of reports that I can get
*Integration with Booking.com and expedia is easy to do.
What do you dislike or think could be improved?
*Creating special rates with a code I cannot get sorted. that needs to be easy to do. to do promos etc.
*When blocking dates out, it would be fantastic to be able to put a note so you remember why it is blocked.
*I would love a customized invoice report to check off what invoices I have for the month to send them off and to tick off when paid.

Great at helping hoteliers increase their revenue by using dynamic pricing, increasing occupancy when times are quiet by lowering pricing and then boosting revenue at peak times by increasing costs helps hoteliers maximise their returns from their rooms.

Having worked in Hotels myself. Preno is very user-friendly and easy to navigate, making it accessible for hoteliers who may not be tech-savvy. Which is great to simplify the day-to-day management tasks.

Preno stands out by focusing on the needs of small and boutique properties, unlike larger PMS providers, which can often be overly complex and less personalised. Preno being guest focus on their journey can be a competitive advantage for boutique properties that rely on repeat business and word-of-mouth referrals

Their dynamic pricing module is really effective and I also really like their pricing and packaging as it provides less of a barrier to entry than some competitors. For a boutique hotel who doesn't think they need a PMS, this can be transformational to see how much more revenue they can drive and how much smoother their ops can be with some help from Preno

If you're considering Preno, my advice would be: take full advantage of the free trial and customer support during onboarding. The software is incredibly intuitive, but every property has unique needs, so use this time to ensure it aligns perfectly with your operations and integrates smoothly with the tools you need. Plus, the support team is great at helping you get the most out of the system!
