Property Operations & PMS

Property Operations and PMS: this is the forum for posting your ideas and comments on all aspects of hotel operations, from reservations to billing. You'll find a category here for each of the major topics in property management, and if you can't find the right category, please search or post to the Other category. Where we can, we'll move ideas around to group them as intuitively as possible for the product managers working on the PMS.


Please keep in mind that there is a separate forum for topics specific to the operations of hotel chains and groups. Go to the Multi-property management forum for anything about portfolio management or rate, product, package and restriction functionality across multiple properties.

  1. Via Peppol mogen alleen XML-bestanden worden verstuurd. Om toch een PDF mee te sturen, moet deze geëmbed worden in de XML (gecodeerd), zodat er technisch nog steeds slechts één XML-bestand wordt verzonden.

    Helaas is het niet verplicht om een pdf mee te sturen via Peppol. Daarom vraag ik of het mogelijk is om toch telkens de PDF te embedden in de XML?

    Zonder pdf is het voor onze klant moeilijk om facturen te lezen, te controleren en te boeken.

  2. Besides the stay service we work with parking and bicycles. For example if the guests books a room including car park, the parking spot will be added as a "parking" service and gets assigned a unique reservation number.

    The problem that occurs now is that the room and parking are not linked together; meaning that when the room gets cancelled or amended, the parking spot will stay as it is and will need to be cancelled or amended manually.

    We are looking for a way to link the two types of spaces together.

  3. Hi Mews team,

    I would like to suggest an improvement for the Notifications panel in Mews Operations.

    We use notifications every day during our night shifts to check all reservations created during the day. The current notification panel becomes very difficult to work with when there are many notifications (for example, 99+).

    At the moment:

    • Notifications can only be viewed in a small pop-up window.
    • The window cannot be resized or opened in a separate tab/page.
    • There are no filtering options (e.g. by date or notification type).
    • When I open a notification, the panel closes automatically and I have to…

  4. When a booking is made on a space type that shares units across multiple parent spaces (e.g., room type "Deluxe Room" spread across Villa A, Villa B, Villa C), Mews should validate whether the full duration of the stay can be accommodated in a single unit — not just whether the stay can be distributed across units within the same space type.

    Current behaviour: Mews confirms availability if the stay can be "Tetris-fitted" across multiple units within the same space type, even if that requires a mid-stay room move. This can occur when some units are blocked or privatized for…

  5. The possibility to have a notification when an invoice sent automatically has failed or resulted in Dropped/Bounce. This would allow to be able to track if the invoices are correctly received by the guests/companies.

  6. Hi,

    As my breakfast team is not using Mews, my reception team has to print a breakfast list for them every morning.

    At the moment, we are using the “Guests in House” report, but it only includes the bookable breakfasts and not the additional breakfasts. Therefore, the report is incomplete.

    My other idea was simply to use the Product Checklist and print it with Ctrl+P. However, not all rooms are visible in the printed version. The list displayed in Mews is almost twice as long as the one being printed, as the print version generally cuts off after the 4th…

  7. View of the time line to be improved. The date row shows the date in the left of the cell which and it is above the previous night reservation column. This confuses the the viewer. the date should be either in the middle of the cell or to right of the cell.

  8. Currently, guests can only be marked as Checked In once their room is ready. There is no way to indicate that a guest has already arrived at the hotel and is waiting for their room.

    It would be useful to add an "Arrived" or "Early Arrival" status that can be selected before check-in. This would give front desk teams a clear overview of which guests are already on property, help prioritize room readiness, improve communication between departments, and provide more accurate arrival data without affecting the check-in process.

  9. After 3 days of vacant dirty, rooms get really dusty, develop a bad odor, spider webs created all over and white bed sheets get stained with dust and dirt particles from the ventilation. Operation wise, this is not conducive nor does it portray the kind of hospitality service we envisage. That being said, I ask that you make the legionella settings more flexible so we can set the number of days as we want and that we set MEWS to put rooms on dirty every 3 days, rather than 7 days. More also, the current legionella settings can be maintained…

  10. When the bill is closed with a deposit, it clearly states on the bill that there is a deposit in a separate segment of the bill.
    However, the problem is when the bill gets reissued. The deposit item is no longer in seperate segment.

    As it is now registered as an "additional" expense item, it now gets only put under the top part of the bill under the stay package.

    The clearer way would be to keep it in a separate segment (Similar to how we bring back payments on original bills)

  11. online check-in is not recognizing Spanish DNIs as Spanish documents: the "Country of issue" field stays blank, causing the support number to be wrongly loaded into the "Document number" field.
    Workaround required for every check-in: manually select Spain as country of issue, delete the wrong number from the document field, then manually enter both the support number and DNI number in their correct fields.

  12. When a user re-issues a bill or invoice, a reason code is requested. It could be useful to have a list of standard reason codes (wrong payment, wrong price, wrong profile etc) and that the reason codes were accessible through the API. Then it can be used to pinpoint the reason for a re-issue. From that we can pinpoint training, information or setup to make sure we avoid too many credits.

  13. It would be great if we could label the bookings individually and make sure that this is everywhere visible.
    Example: Speakers from the seminar
    We make do with the top management classification in the guest profile, but even this is not obvious everywhere.
    I expect to see this information in the booking overview of a group, for example, without having to expand the reservation. And it must be visible in the timeline.
    In addition, this is a classification that does not belong to the guest profile, but to the individual room reservation. After all, the speaker could arrive later as…

  14. here is a recommendation for your team, maybe we need to add and the ACTION LOG who made keys, or how many keys were made, and change the language from "confirmed" to "checked in" on the action log, you can share that with your team, we can not see who makes keys and when or what times, and having to read the whole lines of words to see the room was confirmed would be much easier if it says checked in.

  15. Allow properties to define a daily cut-off time for same-day reservations

    Many properties using Mews do not operate a 24/7 reception. Our guesthouse, for example, accepts check-ins only until 10:00 PM, yet Mews continues to allow guests to make same-day reservations until midnight.

    At the moment, the only automated solution is to use Zapier with webhooks. Zapier is an excellent product, and I understand why Mews offers this integration. However, many properties only need this one simple function. It is difficult to justify purchasing an additional automation platform—sometimes together with a higher Mews subscription—just to stop same-day bookings after a…

  17. We would like to suggest an important improvement regarding group reporting and forecast accuracy.

    Currently, Mews only considers picked-up (confirmed) reservations within groups when calculating revenue and ADR. However, blocked rooms that are not yet picked up are completely excluded from revenue and ADR calculations, even though they are included in occupancy.

    This creates a significant discrepancy in forecasting and reporting.

    Example:
    A group is booked for a future date with 20 rooms blocked at an ADR of $200
    No rooms are picked up yet
    One individual reservation exists at an ADR of $250

    In this scenario:
    Occupancy correctly reflects…

  18. We would like to suggest an improvement to how products are added manually in Mews.

    When a product is configured with timing: "reservation end", this should also apply when the product is added manually under the booking --> "Items".

    Currently, manually added products default to the arrival date, which requires manual correction every time.

    This would be especially useful for products such as:

    • Extra cleaning after pets
    • Pickup of additional items (e.g. linen, towels, baby chair, etc.)

    These types of products should always be posted at the end of the stay, as the service is performed after departure.

  19. We would like the cancellation cost calculation to reflect only the final version of a reservation at the time it is cancelled, rather than including cancelled nights from previous amendments.

    Currently, if a reservation is modified several times before being cancelled, the cancellation cost report includes all cancelled nights associated with the reservation history. This makes the report difficult to interpret and does not reflect how many hotels manage cancellation fees in their daily operations.

    We would like to have one of the following options:

    A setting to calculate cancellation costs based only on the final reservation before cancellation.
    Alternatively,…

  20. By default, Mews only moves the line items, but does not transfer the associated profile when items are moved within the same customer. We need to have the associated profile be copied to the new bill when moving the items
