BookingCenter vs RaccoonSite

BookingCenter provides property management and reservation software for independent hotels, motels, inns, B&Bs, resorts, and vacation rentals. Cloud-based MyPMS includes front desk booking management, an interactive availability chart, folio controls, customized messaging, and back-office reports. Its booking engine supports templates, HTML APIs, and WordPress solutions for online reservations. The channel manager synchronizes rates and availability in both directions and imports bookings automatically through OTA and GDS connections, including Booking.com, Expedia, TripAdvisor, Airbnb, VRBO, Google Hotels, Sabre, Amadeus, and Travelport. MyGuest provides a mobile-friendly guest concierge and staff tracking for requests and incidents; the AI concierge communicates through SMS, iMessage, and WhatsApp in 14 languages. MyCard is a PCI-compliant payment gateway supporting EMV and contactless payments. MyPMS has a full-featured 30-day free trial, while the desktop PMS has a separate 45-day trial. MyPMS Self-Setup costs $50 a month, with no setup fee and unlimited rooms. MyPMS Concierge Setup costs $1,200, paid once for setup and training, followed by $50 a month. Desktop software supports Windows and Macintosh OS X, but Mac OS X desktop support ended after version 10.13.

RaccoonSite is RoomRaccoon’s web-based website builder for hotels. It connects to the RoomRaccoon booking engine and is managed through the company’s PMS. Setup can prefill a site with a property’s logo, colours, room categories, images and descriptions. Users build pages from templates and content blocks, manage multiple languages and choose which pages are published. A booking widget can show availability and accept reservations, while room showcases can link to booking pages. The builder includes Instagram and Facebook links, cookie acceptance or rejection with stored consent, and a generated cookie-policy page. Keyboard navigation supports accessibility requirements. Publishing requires an externally purchased domain connected with a CNAME record; SSL is applied before launch. Users can explore and build before activation, but publishing needs an upgrade slot. The self-service RaccoonSite plan has one slot. RaccoonSite Plus adds website-build support, email hosting and domain registration with two slots. RoomRaccoon also offers a managed setup in which its team builds and registers the site. Prices are available on request.
