Roomonitor Review
Roomonitor pairs a privacy-first noise, smoke, and crowd sensor with an optional 24/7 human team that contacts guests directly when something's wrong — hardware and services, not another guest-messaging app.
Pros
- Single sensor covers noise, tobacco smoke, crowd/gathering detection, temperature, humidity, and air quality in one device, with detection logic designed to filter out non-party noise like barking dogs or door slams
- No camera and no audio recording — the company states the device "does not record any sound or listen to what guests say or do," a specific privacy claim confirmed on its own device page
- Multi-channel alerting (SMS, phone call, app notification, or email) plus an automated "autocall to guest" feature included even at the entry €13/month tier, so a first-line automated response doesn't require the human add-on
- Optional 24/7 "Alarm Assistant" human team that actively monitors devices and contacts guests directly, scaling up to a top tier that also covers check-in and access management
- Broad named integration list for a company this size: a dozen PMS platforms (Guesty, Hostaway, Cloudbeds, Lodgify, PriceLabs, and more), all four major OTAs, plus Zapier and a public API for anything not natively listed
- Roughly a decade in the category (founded December 2015) — the company's own site states it now covers 62+ countries, 30,500+ monitored apartments, and 1.5 million guests assisted in 2024
Cons
- No flat published price — every one of the four tiers is listed as a starting "From" number (€13 / €29.90 / €59 / €79.90 per month), and the independent HotelTechReport listing likewise shows pricing as "Available By Request"
- Almost no independent review trail to check the company's claims against: no G2 or Capterra listing turned up in search, Trustpilot's review page for the domain returned a 403 error when we tried to open it, and the one third-party listing we could load — HotelTechReport — shows zero reviews and an HT Score of 0/100
- The iOS app is live but Apple shows it "has not received enough ratings to display an overview," and we couldn't retrieve usable rating data from the Google Play listing either
- Device connects over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only — no wired Ethernet option is mentioned on the device page, which matters for outbuildings or units with weak Wi-Fi
- Named smart-home integrations are thin outside PMS/OTA — only one smart-lock brand (Akiles) and one climate partner (Google Nest) are listed
Roomonitor isn't guest-messaging software or a PMS — it's a physical sensor plus an optional human team, built to catch a noise problem, an unauthorized gathering, or a smoke incident inside a short-term rental before it turns into a neighbor complaint, a fine, or a damage claim. Founded in December 2015 by Ignacio and Eduardo Suárez, the company has grown from a single noise sensor into what it now markets as an all-in-one operational platform. The core device tracks noise, tobacco smoke, crowd/gathering patterns, temperature, humidity, and indoor air quality from one unit, and the company states plainly that it "does not record any sound or listen to what guests say or do" — no camera, no audio capture.
Pricing
Roomonitor's own pricing page lists four tiers, billed monthly in euros, and every one is listed as a starting "From" price rather than a flat rate. Noise Alarm runs from €13/month with the device included, covering the dashboard and app, real-time noise/smoke/crowd/temperature/humidity/air-quality monitoring, PMS integrations, unlimited historical data, and an automated "autocall to guest" when an alert fires. Alarm Assistant · Remote runs from €29.90/month, device included, and adds an "expert team monitoring your devices," alarm analysis, incident protocols, and direct tenant contact. Operational services · Remote runs from €59/month with the device not included — a remote 24/7 support and incident-management team, priced separately from any hardware. Guest & Property Services · Remote, the top tier, runs from €79.90/month with the device included, adding 24/7 personalized support, customized remote protocols, and check-in/access management on top of everything in Alarm Assistant. None of the four publish a ceiling. That lines up with what the independent listing on HotelTechReport shows for Roomonitor: pricing marked "Available By Request" rather than a fixed number — so for a real quote at your unit count, expect to talk to sales.
Who it's for
Roomonitor fits owners and property managers who want dedicated sensor hardware rather than another piece of messaging software, plus the option to hand the 2 a.m. "is that noise actually a problem" decision to a human team instead of making the call yourself. The integrations page lists direct connections to a dozen PMS platforms — Guesty, Hostaway, Cloudbeds, Lodgify, PriceLabs, Avantio, Icnea, Kross, Smiley, Rently, Hostify, and Beyond — plus the major OTAs (Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia, Tripadvisor), the smart-lock brand Akiles, Google Nest, Swikly, Zapier, and an open public API, so it's built to slot into a stack you already run rather than replace it. Roomonitor's own homepage states the company now covers "62+ countries," has monitored "30,500+" apartments, and "assisted 1.5 million guests" in 2024 — figures we could read directly on the site but couldn't independently audit. The independent HotelTechReport listing puts the company's headquarters in Barcelona, Spain, which tracks with a product that reads Europe-first but has since built out US-relevant OTA and PMS coverage.
What we could verify
We confirmed the mechanics, tiers, and pricing straight from Roomonitor's own site: the device connects over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only (no wired Ethernet option is mentioned), alerts can be routed to SMS, phone call, app notification, or email, and the noise-detection logic is described as analyzing "sound variations over time" specifically to filter out "false alarms from everyday noises like barking dogs or door slams." A customer testimonial on Roomonitor's own success-stories page, credited to You Stylish Apartments, reports incidents fell to "2 out of every 1,300 bookings" after adopting the Alarm Assistant Night Agents service — a company-published case-study number we couldn't independently audit, but a specific and checkable claim rather than vague marketing copy.
Independent, outside verification is thin. We found no G2 listing and no Capterra listing for Roomonitor. Trustpilot's review page for the domain returned a 403 error when we tried to open it directly, so we can't report a rating from that source either way. The one third-party review listing we could actually load — HotelTechReport — shows Roomonitor with zero reviews and an HT Score of 0 out of 100, flagged "Not yet recommended by any hotels." The iOS app is real and live on the App Store, but Apple shows it "has not received enough ratings to display an overview," and we couldn't pull usable rating data from the Google Play listing either. In short: the product and pricing check out against the source, but there's currently no independent review trail — anywhere we could actually check — to weigh against the company's own claims.
How it compares to our top pick
BnBGenius is a flat $10/month AI layer (free for your first 500 messages) that handles guest messaging, phone concierge, task automation, review generation, and gap-night upsells, with no PMS required. Roomonitor isn't really a competitor to that — it's noise, smoke, and occupancy-monitoring hardware plus an optional human response team, a different category solving a physical-safety problem BnBGenius doesn't touch, and BnBGenius doesn't put a sensor in your property or dispatch someone to call a guest at 2 a.m. The two are complementary rather than substitutes: an operator could run BnBGenius for guest communication, task handoffs, and upsells while running Roomonitor as the on-property early-warning system, particularly on higher-risk or party-prone listings.
