Enable Kiosk to scan IDs + Driver's Licenses in US + Canada
99% of guests in the US and Canada do not travel with their passport. Therefore Mews ID scanner doesn't work in this region. Properties are looking for ways to automate their check-in and checking ID/Driver's License is absolutely crucial.
Scanning IDs and DLs is a needed feature in North America.
Properties should also be able to make this a mandatory step if a guest wants to check in on a kiosk.

Video for the booking engine
the property "The Olive boutique and spa" was thinking about uploading a video/GIF in the booking engine to show the customers more about the space. I found it interesting as we are striving to increase the Mews Booking Engine and therefore, the merchant usage.

DRIVE SALES: Google Ads Conversion Tracking
On Google's paid networks: Search, Display and YouTube and I want to track conversions (e.g., which ads convert into confirmed bookings).
A better approach to tags is allowing placement of Google Ads' conversion tracking code directly into Mews: 1) Booking confirmation page, and 2) Newsletter sign-up confirmation page.
Beyond sales, tracking conversions for newsletter sign up is necessary too. For example, I can predict how much it will cost me to generate X amount of newsletter sign-ups with enough historical data. If my historical average is $3 per newsletter sign-up over 12 months, I know it will cost me about $1,000 to…
2 votesHello from the Mews product team,
Thank you for your suggestion, Google Ads conversion tracking can be enabled through Google Tag Manager.
You can install conversion tracking tag by following this guide: https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/6095821?hl=en

attach files to internals tab
We have long term residential guests who stay with us through a partner provider and who each sign a contract before they arrive - it would be great to be able to attach a copy of the contract to the guest profile so we can refer to it quickly and easily.

add language as field when exporting customer profiles to excel
When you export customer profiles to excel, the field 'language' is not added. So I need to filter on postal code to know which language the customer speaks. Which is totally incorrect.
Please add the field 'language' to the excelfile guest profiles.11 votesHello from the Mews product team. We are so pleased to let you know that your feature request has been released.

It would be great to have a picture of the hotel as background in the Booking Engine instead of grey or white.

QR code shouldn't be attached to confirmation email
Currently the QR code is automatically attached to confirmation email and cannot be removed. It's confusing for our guests as they don't know why we have this attachment on their confirmation email.
An hotel can prefer to communicate about their online check-in than checking in on a Kiosk. I would prefer if you could hotel choose.43 votesHi Mewsers!
You can now disable the QR code from all guest-facing emails through the Settings.To do so, please navigate to Settings > Services > Stay > Options and make sure that you don’t have “Enable QR code in emails” option selected.
If the option is disabled, placeholder in the body email is ignored and won’t be shown in the email body, neither the QR code attachment.

Online check-out for guests who are in a hurry
Hey, I was thinking it would be cool if there is an online check-out option for guests who are in a hurry- just in case the queue is longer at some times- they could check themselves out via the plattform with which they booked and put in the keycard in a machine (like a ticket machine). To avoid people leaving without paying open bills, the machine could decline the keycard with a loud noise and inform us at the reception. I know that this might seem too good to be true and not manageable but I have actually been to…
1 voteHi Mewsers,
we already offer the online check-out to guests who are in hurry and who want to skip the queue at the reception.Guests can do the online check-out from their phone, tablet, or laptop. In case there are some unpaid bills they are required to pay for them, they can add their billing details or claim items from minibar if your property have any.
https://help.mews.com/en/articles/4245851-what-is-online-check-outTry it out! Guests love it!
Check-out is also coming to the Operator, soon, so stay tuned! :-)Have a great day,

Bill Preview to (Property) Email
On the body of the email the guest receives, it would be good to change the signature line in the email. We would like to change “The Mews Team” to “AutoCamp Russian River”. Our guests don't know who "The Mews Team" is and it should default to the property name.
2 votesHi Robert,
thanks for your input. That makes sense! We put the property name to the signature. It should appear in production in the upcoming days.Have a great day,

internals
It would be useful to have a pin (like there is for paymaster accounts or returning guests) on a reservation that contains internals for a quicker review of guests' information.

children email to be skipped
When checking in via Operator email for Children should be allowed to be skipped.
70 votesHello from the Mews product team and thank you for your suggestion! We can confirm that email is an optional field in Kiosk (formerly Operator) as well as during the Online Check-in. So guests are able to skip entering the email for any children in their group.

reply on a guest message
If you receive a reservation via distributor, the guest can send you a message in Mews but the hotel cannot reply?!? Than, we have to send an email and this is not stored in Mews.
2 votesHi Mewsers,
if you received the message from guest via messaging service directly in PMS it was sent from guest portal, not directly from Distributor. You can easily reply on that message through messaging module directly in Mews Commander.
You can read more in Help article: https://help.mews.com/en/articles/4245614-read-and-reply-to-messages
I hope that helps. :-)Have a great day,

Lock company profile
Would be great if we can lock certain company profiles.
So we can ensure its not overridden. Some integrating parties use these, and when deleted integrations may break. Also in certain countries specific fields are required. Would be great if we could also lock these for modification such as VAT fields/ Code fisc. etc.4 votes -

Send Before start email for all new reservations not only 48 hours in advance
If you have the before start template set-up, this is triggered to be send 48h prior to arrival. However, if guests make a reservation 24h in advance, this template will not be send. It would be better if this template is send to all new reservation made within the 48h window as well. Because it is not logical that only guests who booked earlier in advance receive necessary information for their stay.

Display alternative availability earlier than same day next week
If there is no availability for the requested dates the distributor takes into consideration the days of the week the guest books. For instance, if they choose a weekend stay, it will narrow down on the days of the week that is chosen. This is a default setup but mostly guests would only know alternative dates 1 day before or 1 day after their originally requested dates and now they only get alternative dates for the exact same weekday as they previously requested. That does not make sense as normally guests are flexible to arrive one day before or after.…

check-out VCC
Regarding the contactless check-out: please make sure the guest do NOT have to pay for himself when booking va OTAs whenever the VCC details are not available / payment not taken as it does not make sense and create complains
3 votesHi Mewsers!
Thank you for your input. We have updated the online check-out flow for guests with remaining balance on VCC.Guests with remaining balance on virtual credit card AND items to be paid upon check-out won’t be able to pay during the online check-out and they will be send to reception.
They will still be able to review their bill in advance and add minibar items (if you have minibar) but they won’t be able to pay with their card, neither with VCC. Guests who has nothing to pay during online check-out can finish the online check-out even though their VCC is not fully charged.
We are closely monitoring the occurrence of cases who cannot proceed via flow. So far it’s very low (2 out of 500 people). In case the occurrence will increase we will come up with more comprehensive solution.
At the moment I suggest…
