Lynx vs Operto

It's time to switch from Operto to Lynx.

Lynx runs the guest experience for hotels, boutique hotels, resorts, hostels, vacation rentals and HOAs. Check-in, locks, in-room TV, messaging, upsells and room controls live in one platform that we build in-house and keep improving, backed by support that actually answers. Keep the hardware you already own, and let us handle the switch.

Hotels, resorts and vacation rental operators run on Lynx

Why operators switch

Three reasons Operto customers
are moving to Lynx.

Whether you run a hotel, a resort, a hostel or a portfolio of rentals, you shouldn't be paying more for a vendor that stopped building and stopped answering.

01

Support that actually answers

Operto users rate its customer support 3.2/5 on GetApp, and one 2026 reviewer says "they stopped trying to help." At Lynx, 81.6% of tickets are solved on the first response and 94.64% are rated Good.

20+ support agents
02

A product that keeps evolving

Much of Operto's line-up was acquired and renamed: VRScheduler became Operto Teams, and STAYmyway and DACK were bought in. Lynx builds every module in-house and keeps adding new layers.

Built, not rebranded
03

More value, no rip-and-replace

Operto users score it 3.2/5 for value for money, and some say they feel locked into contracts. Lynx connects directly to 95% of lock brands and 300+ devices, so you keep your hardware and skip the retrofit chips.

Who is actually building your guest tech?

Renaming a product doesn't improve it. Here's where each platform's product line came from, and what's new.

Usually not. Lynx has direct integrations with 95% of lock brands and 300+ smart devices, including thermostats, sensors, hubs, intercoms and garage doors. Our team confirms compatibility for your exact hardware during the stack audit.

Lynx has deep two-way integrations with 30+ PMS platforms, including Track, Streamline, Cloudbeds, Mews, Guesty, Hostaway, Hostfully and Escapia. Larger operators also use Lynx APIs to connect home-grown systems.

Yes. We'll audit your stack and set up Lynx ahead of time, so you can go live the day your current term ends, without a gap in service for your guests.

We do. A dedicated onboarding lead coordinates PMS sync, access codes, guidebooks, message templates and branding, then rolls out property by property or all at once.

No. Guests use a branded web portal from a single link, and staff field status and access work without a staff app.

Pricing is based on the number of units, with volume discounts built in. Most modules can be purchased standalone or as bundles. Book a call and we'll put together a proposal against your current setup.
