Overview

What Roomsy does

Roomsy is a cloud property management system for small hotels, motels, hostels, guesthouses and vacation rental operators. It provides a booking calendar, rate and inventory management, an online booking engine, invoicing, reporting, housekeeping status and two-way channel connectivity to Booking.com, Expedia, Airbnb, Agoda, TripAdvisor and Hostelworld among others. What distinguishes it commercially is that it publishes a full per room price ladder with the minimums attached, which almost no PMS vendor does. Starter is $2 per room per month with a $40 monthly floor, Essential $4 with an $80 floor, Pro $6 with a $160 floor and Executive $8 with a $320 floor. Those floors are the number that matters: a twelve room motel on Essential pays the $80 minimum, which is $6.67 per room, not $4. Anyone comparing per room rates across vendors without reading the floor will misjudge the cost. Buyers are independent properties under about sixty rooms, hostels and small motel groups, mostly in North America. The trade-off is depth. There is no revenue management, no native POS and no serious group or corporate rate handling, and channel connectivity for some OTAs runs through SiteMinder rather than direct, which adds a dependency in the middle of your distribution.

What people use it for

A twenty five room motel wanting OTA sync and a direct booking engine on a published price with no sales call
A hostel needing dorm bed inventory rather than room-only modelling
An owner running a very small property who wants a free booking calendar and engine before paying anything
A two-property operator wanting one login and consolidated occupancy figures without enterprise pricing

Where it falls short

Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Roomsy.

Every tier has a monthly floor, so a twelve room property on Essential pays $80 rather than $48 and the advertised per room rate is only real above the break-even room count.
Channel management is not on the free or Starter tiers, so the cheapest paid plan cannot connect to Booking.com and buyers regularly select it and then have to upgrade.
Some OTA connections are routed through SiteMinder rather than built directly, which introduces a third party into your distribution and a second place for a sync failure to occur.
There is no revenue management or dynamic pricing, so rates are manual and go stale unless someone maintains seasonal rules by hand.
There is no native point of sale or food and beverage module, so a property with a bar or restaurant runs a separate till and reconciles revenue outside the system.

Answered, with sources

Questions people ask

Each answer names the page it came from, so you can check it rather than take our word for it.

What does a thirty room hotel pay?

$120 a month on Essential, which is above the $80 floor. Below twenty rooms you pay the floor instead of the per room rate.

Which plan includes the channel manager?

Essential at $4 per room per month with an $80 minimum. Free and Starter do not include it.

Is the free plan usable?

For a booking calendar, invoicing and a direct booking engine, yes. Without OTA connections most properties will outgrow it quickly.

Does Roomsy take commission on bookings?

No. You pay the subscription only.
