Comparison of reservation systems for small accommodations | How to choose DYNA IBE, e-YOyaku, SelectType, Beds24, etc.

Illustration where a host of a small inn compares reservation systems based on the same criteria for accommodation, consecutive nights, inventory synchronization, payment, support, and data output. Reservation/Payment

When small guesthouses and pensions choose a reservation system, it is not necessarily the case that they choose a product with many features or a product with a low monthly fee. The required mechanisms are different for an inn that only wants to make reservations on the official website and an inn that wants to synchronize inventory from multiple OTAs.

In this article, we confirmed official information using DYNA IBE, which uses d-reserve.jp on the reservation screen, along with e-YOyaku, SelectType, Beds24, and Room Manager Second.

Correction (2026-08-17): In the first edition, d-reserve.jp and d-reserve.net were confused and information about different services was posted. The correct name is DYNA IBE, an accommodation reservation system that uses d-reserve.jp as the reservation screen. Applicable names, functions, fees, and links have been revised based on official information.

In conclusion, it is not possible to arrange all accommodation reservation systems based on price alone. First, we divide the usage into three categories:

  • I would like to accept accommodation reservations on the official website
  • I want to synchronize the inventory on the official website with multiple OTAs
  • I want to manage inside the inn tasks such as room allocation, cleaning, and payment.

If you do not understand the three roles, please see Differences between booking engine, site controller, and PMS first.

DYNA IBE: Reservation system for accommodation facilities powered by d-reserve.jp

d-reserve.jp is the domain used on the reservation screen of the accommodation reservation system provided by Dynatec. The current official name of the service is DYNA IBE, which has been renamed from “Direct In S4” to 2025-09-01.

d-reserve.net has a service with the same name from another company, but it is different from the accommodation reservation system that this article is comparing.

DYNA IBE is a system that allows accommodation facilities to accept and manage reservations directly from their own website or app. On the actual d-reserve.jp reservation screen, you can check check-in/check-out, number of people, number of rooms, room type, accommodation plan, availability calendar, payment method, cancellation policy, etc.

Main functions that can be confirmed in the official guide

  • Change reservations such as dates, number of nights, number of people, etc.
  • Summary cart reservation for different accommodations and overnight stays
  • Online card advance payment
  • Members, points, coupons, membership rank
  • Multilingual support for English, Chinese, and Korean
  • Metasearch collaboration with Google Hotel Ads and Yahoo! Search
  • Option sales, day trip plans, question form
  • Smartphone compatible

Some features are paid options. Check the quote to see if the features you want to use are included in the basic price.

Published rates

The following prices are listed on the official page as of 2026-08-17.

  • Initial cost: 0 yen
  • Monthly cost: from 7,500 yen
  • Monthly fixed method

We are informed that we will propose individual pricing plans depending on the scale and operation of the facility. We will provide you with a quote based on the required configuration, including optional costs such as card payment agency, original design, CRM, advertising/meta search, etc.

What small inns want to check before signing a contract

  • Minimum contract amount when used in one facility/few guest rooms
  • Whether or not it can be connected to the site controller or PMS you are using
  • Scope of collaboration for OTA inventory, prices, changes, and cancellations
  • Card payment agency and payment/refund fees
  • Additional costs for membership, coupons, multiple languages, and metasearch
  • Who will do the initial guest room/rate/plan registration?
  • Output of reservation/customer data and migration method upon cancellation
  • How to contact us about problems on busy days or outside business hours

DYNA IBE is our own reservation engine. Regarding PMS including room allocation and payment at the front desk, the company’s DYNA PMS is separately provided. Please discuss whether you only need in-house reservations or if you would like to integrate OTA inventory and inn operations as well.

e-YOyaku: Accommodation-only type that specifically targets less than 10 rooms

e-YOyaku official website clearly states that it is for small and medium-sized accommodations with 2 rooms to less than 10 rooms. We provide information on how to incorporate it into existing homepages and blogs to systemize reservation reception, which used to be based on forms and emails.

Publication fees for the official page are as follows.

  • Less than 10 rooms: 5,000 yen per month (excluding tax)
  • 10 rooms or more: 7,000 yen per month (excluding tax)

It is explained that it is a fixed fee, not a usage rate. We also offer consultation on certain customizations and homepage modifications depending on facility conditions.

Strengths in comparison

  • Target is clearly small accommodation facilities
  • Easy to understand public rates for less than 10 rooms
  • Assumed to be incorporated into an existing site
  • Expected to shift from mainly phone calls and emails
  • There is also information available around the web.

Things to check before signing a contract

The public top page alone was not enough to determine the following.

  • How to synchronize inventory with compatible OTAs
  • Is the link real-time or is the reservation notification imported?
  • Online payment and refund system
  • Authority and operation history by staff
  • Data output format and migration upon cancellation
  • Support at night and on holidays during failures
  • Initial setup and customization costs

Don’t just consider the fixed monthly fee as the total cost, we will estimate it including the necessary collaboration and initial settings.

SelectType: General-purpose type that you can try for free

SelectType’s Information for Accommodations provides information on templates for accommodations, reservations by date and number of people, management by room type, consecutive nights, rates, smartphone support, etc.

Since it is a general-purpose reservation system, reservations other than accommodation, forms, homepages, membership functions, etc. are also provided within the same service.

Published reservation system fees

As of 2026-08-16, the official price page lists the following as individual plans for the reservation system.

Plan Monthly price (tax included) Listed price during reservation period Listed price by administrator
Free 0 yen Until 7 days later 1 person
Basic 1,650 yen Until 30 days 1 person
Professional 3,300 yen Until 90 days 3 people
Premium 11,000 yen Until 366 days 15 people

There are differences in advertising display, history storage, number of customers, reception period, number of personnel, etc. Since lodging reservations are made several months in advance, please first check whether the free plan’s “up to 7 days” option suits your actual operation.

For online payments, the fees displayed include SelectType’s fees in addition to Stripe’s fees. Since the rate varies depending on the plan and payment method, it is calculated based on the unit price per night and the number of reservations.

Strengths in comparison

  • You can try the management screen and reservation screen with the free plan
  • The initial cost is 0 yen.
  • There is a template for accommodation.
  • You can change your plan in stages
  • Forms other than reservations and simple sites can also be summarized

Things to check before signing a contract

  • Inventory collaboration with OTAs and site controllers in use
  • Inventory processing when making a telephone reservation
  • Room rate, person rate, child rate, meal plan compatibility
  • To what extent can accommodation functions be used for each contract plan?
  • Total fees for payments, cancellations and refunds
  • Data output, authority, operation history, support range

Even if you can start for free, the actual cost will change if you add the required reservation acceptance period and payment.

Beds24: Detailed settings for reservations, PMS, and OTA synchronization all in one

Beds24 official website provides an online booking engine, PMS, site controller, rate management, automatic messages, etc. We envision multiple types of facilities, including guest rooms, vacation rentals, and private lodging.

Prices are not based on a uniform plan, but vary depending on the configuration used, such as facilities, guest room, room type, OTA connection, etc. Officially in the home country, the price starts from €15.50 per month, and site controller connection etc. are additional charges.

On the Connector Japan pricing page, which provides information on sales and support in Japan, there is a calculator for usage from March 2026 and the following information.

  • Calculated price includes booking engine and PMS
  • No Beds24 fees per reservation or communication
  • Monthly price of 4,580 yen for one building, 2-room type, 2 rooms, and up to 3 OTA under specific conditions
  • There is no Stripe connection fee, Stripe payment fee is separate
  • Additional work accounts are paid

Prices vary depending on conditions, so please provide us with the name of the OTA you will be using, number of room types, number of facilities, and number of simultaneous users for an estimate.

Strengths in comparison

  • Summary of booking engine, PMS, and site controller
  • There is a document that allows you to check the cooperation items for each OTA in detail.
  • You can flexibly set room types, rates, and automatic processing.
  • Prices vary depending on the configuration used

Things to consider before implementing

With so much flexibility, you need to understand initial settings such as room type, inventory, rates, OTA connections, and automated messages.

  • Who does the initial setup?
  • How much support can I receive in Japanese?
  • Setup agency/training costs
  • Can the settings be inherited by the inn?
  • Can another person operate the system when the person in charge is absent?
  • Actual cooperation items including domestic OTA

Don’t just decide on “cheap and highly functional”; consider the time required for setup and daily operation as an expense.

Room Manager Second: Combine the necessary accommodation functions in a pack

Room Manager Second Official Website provides a site controller, web accommodation reservation, reservation and payment management in an integrated service. This method combines the necessary function packs.

On the official inquiry page as of 2026-08-16, the following prices including tax are listed.

Pack Main role Initial cost Monthly fee
Basic Inventory management 55,000 yen 5,500 yen
Professional Inventory/plan/price/image management 55,000 yen 8,800 yen
Reserve In-house reservation engine 77,000 yen 7,700 yen
Reservation/payment management Room allocation/arrangement/analysis 110,000 yen 11,000 yen

The official pricing page also provides information on free features if you meet certain conditions such as being listed on a specific tourism association or portal, as well as methods based on the contract amount. Check to see if your accommodation qualifies and whether it has a fixed rate or contract fee.

Strengths in comparison

  • Clear roles for accommodation reservations, OTA inventory, and front desk operations
  • Choose a pack from the features you need
  • There is a guide where professional staff will assist you with the initial settings.
  • In-house reservations and OTA inventory can be linked within the same service

Things to check before signing a contract

  • Linkage method and reflection time for each OTA in use
  • Initial/monthly total amount including required packs
  • Support method and response time for regular plan
  • Payment fees, closing fees via portal
  • Collaboration with other companies’ PMS and accounting
  • Data output and migration at the end of the contract

On the official pricing page, the support content differs between the regular plan and the long-term package that includes generous phone support. If you’re new to IT, check not only the price, but also the support channels.

Table for selecting five items under the same conditions

Before writing the service name, determine the necessary conditions for the inn.

Confirmation items Required/Optional Candidate A Candidate B Candidate C
Check-in/out date and consecutive nights Required
Room type/Actual inventory Required
Manual registration for telephone reservation Required
Inventory synchronization with OTA in use Depends on the accommodation
Bulk update of rates and plans Depends on the accommodation
Online payment/refund Depends on the accommodation
Children, meals, and consecutive night fees Depends on the accommodation
Authority/operation history by staff Required
Japanese support and response time Required
Output of reservation/customer data Required
Initial fee + 12 months + handling fee Required
Alternative operation in case of failure Required

In addition to ○×, we record the “official page,” “respondent,” “confirmation date,” and “conditions.”

Filter by accommodation situation

I want to try only making reservations on the official website first.

If you value the simplicity and fixed price for accommodation only, e-YOyaku is a good choice, and if you want to try out the screen in a free environment, SelectType is a good choice. DYNA IBE is also a good candidate for comparison if you are considering attracting customers for your own reservations, members/coupons, multilingualism, and even metasearch.

Inventory synchronization of multiple OTAs is required

Beds24, Room Manager, and Second are being considered as comparison candidates. We check not only the possibility of connection with the currently used OTA, but also the scope of coordination for inventory, rates, changes, and cancellations.

I want to integrate PMS

Beds24 or the integrated configuration of Room Manager Second are candidates. Since both have a wide range of functions, we will compare initial setup, training, daily operations, and domestic service integration through a demo.

I am new to IT and value the person I consult with.

Before making an inquiry, check not only whether they will be able to handle phone calls, but also who will do the initial setup, whether screen sharing will be possible, who will contact you on busy days, and if there will be training when staff changes. Rather than the service name, the actual support content of the contract plan is more important.

Don’t compare only on monthly basis

Calculate the 12-month estimate in the following form:

Total amount for the first year
= initial cost
+ monthly fee × 12
+ Commission based on number of reservations or sales
+ Online payment fee
+ OTA/system connection fee
+ Initial setup/data migration/training fees
+ Additional staff/support fees

Even if the monthly fee is 0 yen, if the payment fees, advertisement display, reception period, history storage, and number of staff members do not suit your operation, you will need a paid plan. Even if you have a fixed monthly fee, the total amount will change if OTA connection and initial setup are charged separately.

Operations that must be performed during the demo

Use fictitious names and contact information and do not enter actual guest information.

  1. Make a reservation for one and two nights.
  2. Check inventory on days when only one room remains
  3. Change dietary conditions for adults and children
  4. Add phone reservations from the administrator side
  5. Schedule changes and partial cancellations
  6. Check the inventory reflection of OTA and official reservations
  7. Check cancellation and refund after online payment
  8. Compare the information visible to administrators and general staff
  9. Output reservation/customer data
  10. Try paper or spreadsheet alternatives in case of failure.

Summary

The reservation system for small inns does not select based on cheapest price.

  • e-YOyaku is a lodging-only type that specifically targets less than 10 rooms.
  • SelectType is a general-purpose accommodation template that you can try for free.
  • Beds24 is a fully integrated booking engine, PMS, and site controller.
  • Room Manager Second is an integrated type that combines necessary accommodation functions in a package.
  • DYNA IBE is an in-house reservation engine for accommodation facilities that provides a reservation screen on d-reserve.jp

Decide whether you want to only make reservations on the official website, whether you need multiple OTA synchronization, or whether you want to integrate inside the inn operations, and try the demo with the same fictitious reservation. In the final decision, we will check the total amount for the first year, support, operation in the event of a failure, and data migration upon cancellation.

If you would like to further specify the necessary functions and daily operations for an inn with less than 10 rooms, please see Reservation system operation for guesthouses and pensions with less than 10 rooms.
