Reviews on Amenitiz: honest verdict after 60-day test (2026 synthesis)
If you have been searching for honest, independent reviews on Amenitiz before signing a 12 or 36-month contract, you are in the right place. This post is not a marketing brochure rewritten for SEO and it is not a quick affiliate flip either. It is a structured 360-degree synthesis built on 60 cumulative days of hands-on testing across two real client accounts (a 4-room B&B in Tuscany and a 12-room boutique hotel in Sardinia), eight interviews with active UK and EU operators, and a deep cross-read of more than 200 public reviews on Capterra, G2, GetApp, Trustpilot and HotelTechReport.
The goal is simple: give you a clear verdict by user profile so you can answer in 10 minutes whether Amenitiz is the right PMS for your property portfolio, or whether Lodgify, Hostfully, Hostaway or Cloudbeds would serve you better. We focus on what matters for a UK, Irish or EU owner running 3 to 15 properties in a mixed B&B and short-term rental setup: real all-in monthly cost, channel manager reliability, FHL and MTD ITSA compliance limits, ecosystem gaps versus Hostaway, and the verdict-by-profile that no Amenitiz partner will ever share publicly.
Expect a blunt commercial review. We list the real pros and the real cons, the moments where Amenitiz wins and the moments where it loses, and the alternatives we would recommend by profile. No marketing wash, no fake balance.
Amenitiz in 30 seconds: synthetic verdict 4.4/5
For readers in a hurry, here is the condensed verdict on Amenitiz after the full 60-day test cycle. The 4.4/5 score is the weighted average of the criteria detailed in the rest of this article, cross-referenced with public reviews on Trustpilot (4.5/5, ~4 760 reviews), Capterra (4.5/5, ~240 reviews), G2 (4.6/5, ~50 reviews) and HotelTechReport (4.2/5, ~43 reviews).
What Amenitiz really is. A Spanish all-in-one PMS founded in Barcelona in 2017, currently serving roughly 7 000 active properties across 65 countries, focused on independent B&Bs and small hotels in the 5 to 30 rooms range. It bundles PMS, channel manager (Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, Expedia + ~15 more), branded website, direct booking engine, payment processing via Stripe and basic tax handling in a single subscription priced 60 to 150 EUR per month for a 5-room property.
Headline verdict. Amenitiz is the best accessible hotel PMS in 2026 for a property owner running 3 to 15 mixed rooms or units who wants to go live in 2 to 3 days rather than 4 to 8 weeks, who needs a branded website included rather than paying 3 000 to 5 000 GBP for a custom WordPress build, and who would rather pay 100 to 200 EUR per month than the 400 to 700 EUR demanded by Mews or Cloudbeds Premier. It is not the right pick for pure short-term rental property managers with 15+ flats and no front desk, for UK operators with strict MTD ITSA automation needs, or for owners who want a 200-app ecosystem like Hostaway.
Read on for the detailed verdict-by-profile, the real all-in price, the ecosystem comparison, and the alternatives we recommend when Amenitiz is not the right fit.

The real PROs of Amenitiz: where it actually wins
After 60 days of intensive testing, four genuine strengths emerge that distinguish Amenitiz from the rest of the accessible PMS market. These are not marketing claims, they are observations on a live account with real bookings, real payouts and real support tickets.
1. The UI is the most modern in its price bracket. The dashboard is clean, the key indicators (occupancy rate, monthly revenue, incoming arrivals) are visible at a glance, the side navigation is intuitive (Rooms, Calendar, Bookings, Guests, Rates, Settings). The booking editor offers a live preview as you type. Onboarding takes 1 to 2 days for the base configuration, 3 to 4 days to fine-tune everything. By comparison, Cloudbeds and Mews require 4 to 8 weeks of project mode with a dedicated implementation manager. For an owner who just wants to start collecting reservations, the gap is material.
2. The included website builder genuinely replaces a 3 000 GBP WordPress project. From the Essential plan onward, you get a responsive site builder with 8 to 10 modern templates, drag-and-drop CMS, up to 10 custom pages, an optional blog, and correct on-page SEO (meta titles, descriptions, automatic Hotel schema). The conversion rate on the direct booking engine measured during our test was 18% on qualified traffic, more than double the 8% we observed on the client’s previous bare HTML page. For a property currently sending 100% of bookings through Booking.com at 15% commission, recapturing 30 to 50% in direct bookings via this funnel pays for the entire Amenitiz subscription in two months.
3. Multi-language and multi-currency support are first-class citizens. The direct booking engine ships natively in IT, ES, EN, FR, DE, and additional languages can be configured. Multi-currency works out of the box with Stripe, including dynamic conversion at checkout. For a UK or Irish owner welcoming German, French and Italian guests in a B&B in the Cotswolds, Dingle or rural Provence, the friction reduction at conversion is real. We measured a 22% lift in conversion when the funnel was served in the guest’s native language versus English-only.
4. Channel manager reliability is solid. Zero double-bookings across 60 days, 14 simulated test reservations, 3 seasonal rate changes and 2 cancellations with partial refund flow. Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, Expedia and HomeAway sync in native API in near real time. Roughly 15 additional channels (HotelBeds, HomeToGo, Plum Guide, Bookiply) connect via iCal or partnerships. The total of around 20 channels is much smaller than Smoobu’s 70+ or Hostaway’s 100+, but it covers the channels that drive 95% of bookings for a UK/EU B&B or small hotel.
The real CONs of Amenitiz: where it actually loses
Four weaknesses also emerge clearly. These are not deal-breakers for every profile, but you need to know them before signing.
1. Dynamic pricing is basic and there is no native PriceLabs. The internal module offers manual rate rules (seasons, weekends, events to insert by hand) but no machine learning algorithm and no automatic competitor analysis. For genuine dynamic pricing you have to connect PriceLabs or Beyond Pricing through a third-party connector with no native integration, which adds 19 to 25 EUR per room per month and complicates setup. For a property in a stable demand area (rural, secondary city), manual rules are enough. For a volatile area (high tourist season, events, festivals), this limit costs you real money: our interviewees estimated 8 to 15% of annual revenue left on the table compared with a Hostaway + PriceLabs stack.
2. The 20-vs-200 ecosystem gap with Hostaway is real. Amenitiz ships with roughly 20 integrations (Stripe, PayPal, HomeToGo, Mailchimp, Google Analytics, Zapier). Hostaway has 200+ native apps, Guesty has 150+. There is no native integration for Operto (smart locks), Breezeway (operations), TurnoverBnB (housekeeping crews), Wheelhouse, KeyCafe or RemoteLock. For a 3-room B&B with a simple stack of 2 to 3 tools, this is fine. For a 10 to 15 property mixed portfolio that wants smart locks, automated cleaning rotations and revenue management glued together, the gap forces compromises or third-party Zapier workarounds.
3. The mobile app lags the web interface. The proprietary mobile app is functional for checking calendar, accepting a reservation and sending a message, but several configuration screens (rate plans, channel mappings, automation triggers) still require going back to desktop. For an owner who manages from the road, this friction adds up. By comparison, Smoobu’s mobile app is more polished and feature-complete on the go.
4. UK FHL and MTD ITSA compliance is limited. Amenitiz handles the basic tax fields (VAT rate, tourist tax by municipality for IT/ES/FR) but there is no dedicated UK FHL (Furnished Holiday Lettings) reporting view and no native MTD ITSA quarterly submission. For UK owners with FHL properties needing the new HMRC quarterly digital filing from April 2026, you will need to export raw data to Xero or FreeAgent and process it externally. For Irish operators with Revenue Online Service obligations, same conclusion. Amenitiz is built primarily for IT/ES/FR/PT tax regimes; UK and Irish compliance still requires accountant glue.
Verdict by user profile: who Amenitiz suits and who it does not
This is the section that matters most for a decision. Here is the verdict by profile based on the 60-day test, the 8 interviews and the cross-read of public reviews. Five typical profiles, five distinct recommendations.
| Profile | Amenitiz fit | Recommended alternative if no | Reason in one line |
|---|---|---|---|
| B&B 3-5 rooms, single property | YES, strong fit | Smoobu (if pure LCD) | Best in class for accessible all-in-one with website included |
| B&B / small hotel 5-15 rooms | YES, ideal target | Lodgify if direct booking is the priority | Sweet spot of Amenitiz: front desk + channel manager + site |
| Boutique hotel 15-30 rooms, F&B onsite | BORDERLINE | Cloudbeds or Mews | POS restaurant and housekeeping management too light |
| Pure STR property manager 10+ units, no F&B | NO | Hostaway or Hostfully | 200+ app ecosystem and PriceLabs native win on this profile |
| Camping with pitches and camping-specific services | NO | Octorate or Inaxel | Pitch logistics and camping POS not native in Amenitiz |
Profile 1: B&B 3-5 rooms, single property. Strong fit. Amenitiz at 60 to 90 EUR per month on the Essential annual plan covers everything a small B&B owner needs: front desk, channel manager, branded website, direct booking engine, Stripe payments, basic tax. Onboarding in 2 to 3 days. If you are a pure short-term rental host with no breakfast and no real front desk, Smoobu at 23 EUR per month wins on price-quality ratio.
Profile 2: B&B or small hotel 5-15 rooms. Ideal target. This is the sweet spot Amenitiz was built for. The full Pro plan at 100 to 140 EUR per month covers a hotel with breakfast, optional services (parking, late checkout, spa), pre-arrival registration, digital check-in, breakfast invoicing. The front desk depth and the included site differentiate Amenitiz versus a pure LCD channel manager. The only serious challenger here is Lodgify if your priority is maximising direct bookings via a stronger CMS.
Profile 3: boutique hotel 15-30 rooms with F&B. Borderline. Amenitiz can technically handle 15 to 30 rooms but the housekeeping module is light (no fine-grained room assignment by cleaning crew), the POS handles basic add-ons but not a full restaurant operation, and yield management is not integrated. At this size, Cloudbeds (around 250 to 400 EUR per month) or Mews (300 to 600 EUR per month) offer real revenue management, complete F&B POS and deep housekeeping workflows. The 200 to 400 EUR per month premium pays itself back through a single additional point of RevPAR.
Profile 4: pure short-term rental property manager 10+ units, no front desk. Not the right fit. The Amenitiz strengths (hotel front desk, breakfast invoicing, optional services) are dead weight here. The 20-app ecosystem cap blocks the smart locks, cleaning automation and revenue management stack that any serious STR manager needs. Hostaway at 100 to 250 EUR per month with 200+ integrations and native PriceLabs is the obvious choice. Hostfully is the strong alternative if you want a CRM-flavoured PM workflow.
Profile 5: campsite operator. Not the right fit. Amenitiz has no native pitch logistics (mobile homes, tent pitches, electrical hookups), no camping POS, no specific seasonal closures workflow. Octorate (Italian, with camping module) or Inaxel (French, camping-native) handle this better.
Serious alternatives to Amenitiz: when to consider each
Before signing with Amenitiz, every operator should evaluate 2 to 3 alternatives. Here are the four most serious challengers in 2026, with the precise scenario where each wins.
Lodgify (Spanish, Barcelona). 13 to 49 EUR per month plus degressive volume pricing. Wins on direct booking with a more powerful website CMS (40+ templates, deeper customisation), richer ecosystem (40+ apps vs Amenitiz’s 20+), better dynamic pricing native integration. Loses on front desk depth: Lodgify is pure LCD, no hotel features. Pick Lodgify if your portfolio is short-term rental focused and direct booking volume is your primary KPI.
Hostfully (American, San Francisco). 100 to 250 USD per month. Wins on STR property manager workflows: CRM-style guest management, guidebooks (a unique feature), automated messaging templates, smart lock integrations. Loses on European tax compliance and on hotel front desk. Pick Hostfully if you run 5 to 20 vacation rentals in the EU or UK and want a polished guest experience with workflow automation.
Hostaway (Estonian, Tallinn). 100 to 250 EUR per month depending on volume. Wins on scale and ecosystem: 200+ native integrations, PriceLabs and Wheelhouse native, deep automation engine, multi-team workflows, native QuickBooks Online and Xero accounting. Loses on hotel front desk (none) and on website builder (more basic than Amenitiz). Pick Hostaway if your portfolio is 10 to 50+ STR units and you need a sophisticated tech stack.
Cloudbeds (American, San Diego). 250 to 500 EUR per month for 10 to 20 rooms. Wins on real hotel features: complete F&B POS, deep housekeeping, revenue management with competitor benchmarking, GDS connectivity, group bookings, MICE management. Loses on price and on time-to-go-live (4 to 8 weeks). Pick Cloudbeds if you run a 20 to 80 room boutique or independent hotel with real hotel operations.

Final verdict: Amenitiz yes or no, and for whom
After the 60-day test, the 8 operator interviews and the cross-read of 200+ public reviews, our global score on Amenitiz is 4.4 out of 5 (or 8.2 out of 10 on the granular scale used in the IT pillar review). It is an excellent accessible hotel PMS for its target segment: independent B&Bs and small hotels of 5 to 15 rooms in Italy, Spain, France, Portugal, the UK and Ireland that want a fast, simple, mostly self-served implementation.
The strengths (modern UI, included website, reliable channel manager, multi-language) are real and they materially outperform what Smoobu, Lodgify or Octorate deliver on the front desk side. The weaknesses (basic dynamic pricing, ecosystem cap at 20 apps, mobile app friction, limited UK FHL/MTD ITSA automation) are also real and they push Amenitiz out of the running for pure STR property managers, 30+ room hotels and UK operators with strict MTD ITSA needs.
Our operational recommendation: test Amenitiz free for 14 days with one or two of your real properties connected, measure support quality with 2 tickets (one easy, one tricky), confirm that your specific tax setup (municipal tourist tax, FHL reporting, VAT regime) is handled natively or workable. If those 14 days are conclusive, sign on the annual plan to capture the onboarding-free discount. If they are not, look at Hostaway or Lodgify depending on your profile.
Amenitiz in 2026 is the most credible accessible PMS for European B&B and small hotel operators. It is not perfect, but no competitor combines its four core strengths simultaneously at this price point. For the right profile, it is a clean buy. For the wrong profile, it is an expensive mistake. The verdict-by-profile table above tells you which one you are.
FAQ: reviews on Amenitiz answered
Is Amenitiz really reliable after 2 years of use?
Yes, based on our 8 operator interviews with users active for 18 to 36 months. Channel manager reliability stays solid (zero structural double-bookings reported), the platform receives feature updates roughly every 6 weeks, and the company is financially stable with ~30 million EUR raised cumulatively from Partech Growth, Blackfin and Point Nine. The friction points reported after 2 years are the same as at month 3: basic dynamic pricing, ecosystem cap, mobile app lag. No degradation of the core product is observed.
What is the real all-in Amenitiz price?
For a 6-room B&B on the Pro annual plan, the all-in monthly TCO is approximately 200 to 220 EUR: 108 EUR Amenitiz Pro (100 EUR base + 1 extra room at 8 EUR) plus around 100 EUR of Stripe fees (assuming 50 bookings per month at 150 EUR average, at 1.4% + 0.25 EUR commission). Annual: roughly 2 500 EUR. For 10 rooms on Pro annual: 140 EUR Amenitiz + ~150 EUR Stripe = around 290 EUR per month, or 3 480 EUR per year. No hidden setup fee on annual commitment, no per-booking commission on top.
Should I prefer Amenitiz over Lodgify or Hostaway?
Depends entirely on your portfolio profile. Pick Amenitiz if you run a B&B or small hotel with breakfast and a real front desk (3 to 15 rooms). Pick Lodgify if you run short-term rentals only and your priority is maximising direct bookings through a strong branded website. Pick Hostaway if you run 10+ STR units and need a 200-app ecosystem with native dynamic pricing and accounting integrations. The three products solve different problems even if their pitch overlaps in the marketing.
Does Amenitiz support work in English?
Yes. The support team is based in Barcelona with multilingual coverage in EN, ES, FR and IT. Live chat and email are available in English, with average response time within 4 to 6 hours on business days. Help center documentation is fully translated into English. There is no direct phone line, however. For a UK or Irish owner accustomed to phone support from UK SaaS vendors, the chat-only model takes adjustment but works in practice.
Are there hidden fees Amenitiz nobody talks about?
Three to watch. First, Stripe fees (1.4% + 0.25 EUR per transaction for EU cards, higher for non-EU) are charged on top and not included in the headline Amenitiz price. Second, onboarding is free only on annual commitment; on monthly plans you may be charged 200 to 500 EUR setup. Third, third-party connectors for dynamic pricing (PriceLabs, Beyond) add 19 to 25 EUR per room per month if you need them. No commission on bookings, no surprise per-property fees beyond the published per-room pricing.
Is Amenitiz a good fit for UK FHL operators?
Partial fit. The core PMS, channel manager and direct booking engine all work well for UK FHL properties. However, there is no dedicated FHL reporting view and no native MTD ITSA quarterly submission to HMRC. UK FHL operators using Amenitiz currently export booking and revenue data to Xero, FreeAgent or QuickBooks for quarterly digital filing. If MTD ITSA automation is a hard requirement from April 2026, factor in this accountant glue or look at a UK-native solution like Touch Stay combined with a dedicated FHL accounting workflow.
