The "Anything to add from the minibar” section that is presented by default during ALL Kiosk check-outs should be an optional setting!
The "Anything to add from the minibar” section that is presented by default during ALL Kiosk check-outs should be an optional setting! Many hotels / hostels / other accommodation providers do not have minibars, so forcing guests to navigate through this logic is confusing and clunky.

Mews Kiosk Reporting
We need to be able to do a proper reporting on the Kiosk Check In, including following categories:
Check in from Kiosk (Staff Mode)Check ins from Kiosk (Guest Mode)
Check ins via Mews Commander
Moreover, we need to be able to pull the data via the API regarding if a reservation did online check-in, check-out, did they use the Kiosk or did a staff member check them in.
This is cruciel to be able to measure the success of the kiosk and to do further improvements.

Extend inactivity timeout period during Kiosk check-in.
Many guests need a little more than a minute + 30 seconds 'are you still there' - countdown' to understand the Kiosk check-in and provide all necessary data, maybe chat with staff during the process. An extended time would lead to less Kiosk check-ins having to be re-done unnecessarily.

Feature Request: Dynamic Screensaver Message – Show "Checkout" in the Morning
Currently, the Mews Kiosk screensaver always displays "Check-in" throughout the day. However, in the morning, the primary action for many guests is checking out, not checking in.
To improve guest experience and streamline the process, we propose that the screensaver dynamically updates based on the time of day:
- Morning hours (e.g., 06:00 - 12:00) → Display "Checkout"
- Afternoon & evening (e.g., 12:00 - 06:00) → Display "Check-in"This small change would make it clearer for guests, reducing confusion and ensuring a smoother self-service experience.
Would love to hear feedback from the community! 🚀

Staff kiosk check out mode with overall tip option
When showing an unbalanced invoice with all charges /items through that staff mode feature, it would be highly advantageous if guests had the option to add a tip—say 10%, 15%, or 20%—directly to the invoice. Once selected, the tip would be automatically added to the total bill.

Confirmation of products purchased after online/kiosk check in
Guest is not getting any type of confirmation email after onlineor kiosk check in about the products purchased after after booking. For example if guest purchased products during kiosk check in, thet should be listed in Check in confirmation email. Currently, guests have no track of products purchased in Guest experience.

Bookable services that are offered via "Service promotions" on the Online check-in flow should also be available on the Kiosk check-in flow!
We're currently able to sell additional bookable services to guests if they elect to use the online check-in module (using the "Service promotions" feature), however we can't offer these same services to guests if they elect to use the Kiosk check-in module. This makes no sense. We would suggest adding a "During Kiosk check-in” check-box option in Service promotions > Promotion settings > Offer to customer* to supplement the current “In booking engine” and “During online check-in” options that are already offered.

Upgrade guests
If I upgrade guest free of charge in advance, the guests are able to see it in the kiosk. We would like to keep that as a suprise upon their arrival. Furthermore, it does not show them as a upgrade. If we gave them a free upgrade they are not able to see their original booking in the kiosk. (Original Room Catergory) which may confuse them.

Not be able to check in to a dirty room
We are struggling with late check in after the front desk staff has gone home.
for example, a person books 21:00 arrives 23:00 but the front desk went home 20:00.
The guest got assigned to a dirty room and the kiosk lets the person check in.
Would like MEWS to assign the guest to inspected rooms first. And stop the guest to check in to a dirty room.3 votes -

Bill as Package on Kiosk
When property has a bill as package enabled for the a product, while the product is hidden on the invoice, it remains to be displayed on the Kiosk during check-in.
Properties are required to hide some product to be displayed since it is expected to be hidden from the guest such as a commission adjustment product .

Block the possibility of early Check-in at the Kiosk before a set time
We offer the possibility of an early Check-in which begins at 12 PM. However, when the guests try to check in earlier the kiosk will allow the payment of the early check in and allow the check in.
It would be nice if we could configure the kiosk to offer the posibility of an early check in only after 12 PM (which is the actual begin time of an early check in). At the moment this feature seems to be connected with guests being able to book an early check-in while checking in online. We find this option to be…3 votes -
Signature for accompanying persons Optional
Signature for accompanying persons Optional
Since the update in July 2024, MEWS Kiosk asks for the signature of all travelling persons. As the data is usually filled in by the main booker and is not required by law, I agree that the signature for accompanying persons can be set to fixed, optional or not required as required.
In addition, it makes little sense to ask for this data for small children etc..

Customize Mews Kiosk tone of voice
Yet it is not possible to customize Mews Kiosk App in the tone of voice that matches our brand. Meaning how we speak to the customers cant be set in Mews Kiosk. This is absolutely mandatory to match the brand standards

Upgrades in Mews Kiosk
We are experiencing difficulties in implementing the upgrade function in the Mews Kiosk because the pricing becomes incorrect. For example, a guest books a Standard Room for 100 EUR when the room pricing is low. Upon arrival, the daily rate has increased to 160 EUR. The price difference to the next room category is 20 EUR. If the guest had gone to the reception, they would have been offered an upgrade for the difference of 20 EUR. However, in the Mews Kiosk, the guest is offered an upgrade for the difference between the confirmed price at the time of booking…

Room access code integration to Mews Kiosk
The Mews kiosk only allows guests setting up a physical room key card.
However, some hotels use a personalized access code instead of a physical room key card.
It would be interesting if the kiosk could display this access code (e.g., Salto KS).

Show that room is still occupied in check-in screen
the employees at the front office who process early check-ins and therefore check the room status often start the check-in process because the room status is inspected, yet only because the room is not yet checked out. Only at check-out room status moves to dirty.
Unfortunately, the pop-up on the tablet (Kiosk in staff mode) that the room is not ready for occupancy only comes after the guest has entered their data and signed.
Would be great if there would be a sign if the room is still occupied, in the check-in screen or if the room moves to dirty…
