Mews review and pricing

Modern Czech-origin PMS with open API architecture and European mid-market dominance.

By Mews Systems s.r.o. · Founded 2012 · Prague, Czechia (also Amsterdam) · private

Mews is the modern Czech-origin hotel PMS, founded 2012 in Prague. The company raised a $185M Series C in 2022 led by Kinnevik and Goldman Sachs, then a further $185M Series D in 2024 at a reported $1.2B valuation led by Kinnevik and Notion Capital. The product covers PMS, payments (Mews Payments), terminals (Mews Terminals for self-check-in), booking engine, and a marketplace of 1,000+ third-party integrations via Mews Open API. Strengths: open API architecture (industry-leading marketplace), strong European mid-market hotel adoption, integrated Mews Payments with terminal hardware, modern self-check-in workflow, well-funded post-Series D. Best fit for European independent and mid-market chains (3-50 properties) wanting modern open-architecture PMS. Trade-offs: F&B POS via partner integration not native, enterprise chain depth below Oracle OPERA, US installed base smaller than Cloudbeds, and pricing not publicly published (partial transparency).

Vendor Trust is scored independently of product quality. A great product from an unfair vendor still earns a low trust score.
