  1. Request to include the name value for OTA/Booking source, this'll help make it easier to identify across the board, since TravelAgencyId currently can vary for each customer.

  2. Today,

    Any client can have taxes in Mews.
    - Some have taxes under the taxe section / (difference between net and gross value)
    - Some set taxes under packages (like City Tax)
    - Some set fees under packages (like Breakfast)

    The Connector API can provide a list a tax name and tax code. but these 2 parameters are manual, there is no way to dynamically know that a tax is a City Tax, a VAT, a service charge or something else. (Except by having a regular contact with the client to be notified about the category of each new tax,…

  3. Our demo environment that we use for testing purposes is full of rates created from availability blocks. We should have the possibility, at least in staging environments, to delete the rates (via the API or a mass delete feature in the UI).

  5. As an example the Title selected in Guest profile is 'Mr.' but the API provided as 'Mister'
    Please do not have a difference between profile and API of the Title field.

    The shorter form of 'Mr' is better for display on phone & TV systems so please provide the title in API as it is in guest profile.

  6. When we use the endpoint /api/connector/v1/reservations/price (https://mews-systems.gitbook.io/connector-api/operations/reservations#price-reservations) the output does not contains the full details but only the taxes.

    It would be nice to be able to retrieve the details of which rules/products have been applied and the amount associated, directly in the output.

    For example, if a hotel apply resort fees using the rule system, retrieving only taxes and total amont is not enough to display the full details of the calculation. Currently to display it we need to fetch all rules and manually check if rule should be applied or not. And do a "revert engineering"…

  8. A meeting room can only be booked once during a day period. This is a problem since meeting rooms e.g. can be booked from 09:00 till 12:00 and again from 13:00 till 17:00. This basic case is not possible.

    Is there any change planned which would allow us to book rooms based on the actual reservation time and not only once per period?

  9. When an availability block is created in Mews, a new rate is created, dedicated to this block. The new rate is based on an original rate, taken from the list of rates already existing in Mews. Let's say a hotel has a company profile "Company X" which books a conference. The user selects rate = "Company X corporate rate" and Mews creates a copy of this rate and attaches it to the block. When fetching the block via the API, the block references this copy as its rate ID.

    We want to know what the original/underlying rate is for such…

  10. When connecting MEWS with a PBX, the phone in the physical room is defined as a Space, or resource, in MEWS.

    The name of the Space is the actual phone extension number, often the same as the room number.

    As only one resource can be associated with a Reservation, we run into a problem when a room/suite is equipped with more than one phone, not uncommon in "high class" hotels. Each of these phones (=MEWS resources) needs somehow to be associated with the same Reservation.

  12. Hi!

    We need a flag to tell mews not sending the cancellation email when we're cancelling a reservation through the "reservations/cancel" endpoint.

    Many thanks in advance!

    Hello from the Mews product team. Thank you for your suggestion, we have updated your request and set it as one to be upvoted by the Mews Community. Remember you can share a link to your request so that your colleagues can also upvote your suggestion.

  13. There are some endpoints (for example: the /reservations/search endpoint) that allow us to query certain objects like reservations that were created or modified in a certain time interval. If the time interval causes Mews to fetch too many objects, it will return a 408. This can be less straightforward for the caller as the caller does not know in which time interval most creations/modifications happened and the caller will thus keep calling the endpoint until the time interval is finally small enough for the request to succeed. As you can see, this can/will result in several consecutive failing calls which…

  14. When getting historic reservation data, such as reservations/getAll it would be great if we could get all states of reservation.

    For instance, reservation was created on 10th of July for 10th of August for 30 rooms. It was changed from 30 to 50 rooms on 15 of July. Currently we can only access last state, however getting older state (state of 30 rooms in this example), would be great. This would allow us to recreate historic booking correctly. We can use this booking for creating different machine learning algorithms.

  17. For the connector API it is necessary to retrieve all rooms each time an API Call is made to pull the space feature, this is quite a heavy call for TSH as some hotels have 700 rooms.

    Could Mews consider to introduce a filter by room name ideally?

    This way Ireckonu or another integrating partner does not need to pull all rooms each time.

  18. Now you always need to enter a period when you are looking for a bill (bills/getall). And the period cannot exceed 3 months. If we do not know when an invoice was issued, we just have the number, it is not easy to find.

  19. Nikki here, reaching out from Zapier Support. One or more of our mutual customers has requested a new feature in your app.

    Specifically, they'd like to be able to trigger a Zap off when a new guest checks in at a Mews kiosk (in order to send notifications to their team that the guest has arrived).
