What are the best alternatives to Cloudbeds?
The main alternatives to Cloudbeds covered here are Mews, Little Hotelier, RoomRaccoon and Hotelogix. Mews may suit hotels wanting automation and an open marketplace, while Little Hotelier may suit B&Bs, guesthouses and small hotels under about 30 rooms. None is best for everyone: the right hotel PMS depends on team size, budget and which Cloudbeds limitation you are trying to solve.
Teams usually start looking beyond Cloudbeds for documented reasons: costs rise with rooms and modules; limited group booking. Cloudbeds remains a reasonable fit for independent hotels wanting one vendor for PMS and distribution, so an alternative is not automatically better, only different.
