Receive of copy of the confirmation send to the guest when the booking is made on distributor
11 votesHello Mewsers,
Thank you for the feedback.
It is currently possible to receive a copy of the confirmation email when bookings are made from the Distributor. This functionality can be enabled in your stay settings by selecting the option “Order generates email”. You can use this option to trigger an automatic email notification for the relevant departments.
Should you have any questions or require more information about this functionality, please contact our customer care team.
We look forward to your continued feedback and suggestions.
Kind regards,

QR code to be visible in the Before Start e-mail.
It would be great if the standalone QR code would be visible in the Before Start e-mail as well in addition to the apple wallet option so that the android users could check in more easily in the Operator kiosk as well.

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…

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,

QR Code scanner
Customers already receive confirmation and online c-in emails.
There is a ID scanner in place, however it takes time for guests to put their name and booking ref number.
It will be very helpful if a guest can just present a QR code for their booking and the kiosk finds their booking and starts the c-in process.
This will also limit the errors when mistyping name/booking number and limit the customer "touch" interaction with the device for the current Covid environment.3 votesHello,
please, let me inform you that the QR code scanner is already available in our kiosk. It is on the Find your reservation screen – see the attached screenshot.
Best regards,

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,

Change message is shows after Self Check in
It would be great if it would be possible to change the check in message manually:
After self check in the text shows:
„Don´t forget, your keys are on the reception“…
During Corona times many guest do not get their ke
ys at the reception. Thats why the hotel needs to change this message.4 votesHi Mewsers,
Good news! We just released this feature. You can now configure the custom online check-in instructions.How to do it?
Go to Settings > Services > Stay > Options and look for “Check-in instructions” field.Insert plain text – do not use HTML tags.
Custom check-in instruction appear at the end of the online check-in flow.Have a great day,

Preview of mail templates
Mail templates are currently editable and customizable using HTML within Commander. Although this allows for quite a lot of customization options, it is restricted to those who are more familiar with using HTML. Introducing a preview button or test email functionality could help properties greatly, as they could then see exactly what the final product will look like while they finalize their email formatting.
It's also important for being able to track the correspondence which was sent out to guests.

Issuing country a mandatory field in South Africa
When updating the profile information in the Navigator. The guest is required to add their passport or ID. If they select ID, and do not choose the issuing country. Mews requests that they input the expiration date. In South Africa, the ID does not have an expiration date. Can we make the issuing country a mandatory field, so that the guest cannot miss this field?
7 votesHi Mewsers!
Good news! From now on, we are requiring the issuing country for documents in South Africa. If the issuing country is Soth Africa, the expiration date is not required.Have a great day,

Have a real Company Profile with the Billing section (like the customer profile). Would be much easier to put bills directly on the Account Receivable of the Company itself.

Option to edit or disable mandatory OCI/GDPR mail
We are having a lot of discomfort with the tone of voice and content of the email that gets send out automatically after booking, and thus being the first email that guests receive after they make a booking. The mail starts with "At <PropertyName>, we are dedicated to your leisure..."
This email cannot be disabled, nor can it be edited to OUR tone of voice. As our property isn't actively using online check-ins, this is for our guests a pointless email. (except for the GDPR notification) After this mail, we are still forced to send a confirmation mail, upselling mail…
28 votesHello from Mews product team!
Good news! You can now request disabling of the “Customer added” email (also known as “Account created”) through our Support.
Based on several feedback sessions with many of you this solution is looking to be the best one (comparing to e.g. email customization).
Thanks for all your inputs.

Display last reservation in search bar from checked-out room today
When room has checked out, you cannot find the reservation back in search bar by searching for room number. You should go into the timeline now. It would be great if you can access this last reservation that has checked out today from that specific room in the search bar directly.

Enabling Hotjar to record and analyse booker behaviour during the booking process (Distributor).
Link Distributor directly to Hotjar so we can see how guests are engaging within the booking engine. At the moment because Distributor works on iFrames and not via a url link heatmaps and recordings stop when a guest enters the booking process.
14 votesHello, you can add hotjar to GTM, which is avaliable in our booking engine configuration. Mews team
