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. Our rates are based on age. However, it's difficult to know the exact age of each person unless we go into each profile and calculate it individually. This is neither simple nor practical, for individuals nor groups.

    Would it be possible to display the age of each person, perhaps in parentheses, right after their name in the booking details? This would make it clearer for everyone.

  2. I believe Mews needs a dedicated "Fire Attention" feature to enhance guest safety during emergencies. The implementation would ideally include:

    Flagging System: A simple checkbox on both the Reservation and Guest Profile levels to mark "Fire Attention". If checked on the profile, it should remain a permanent attribute to ensure returning guests are always accounted for.

    Dashboard Integration: A new "Fire List" section under the "Guests In House" report.

    Report Functionality: This list must be accessible with a single click and organized by room number. It should clearly display:

    • Room number and guest count.

    • Guest names and age categories.

    • A…

  3. Have the option to link a guest, or add a line item in the profile, when the stay is with a group. We don't necessarily see these guests after their group stay and would allow us to keep our database tracked and either target these guests for conversion, or stop tracking in the database

    PS, we are ex-Hotello, and this feature was an easy sell for us to use before

  4. In customer profile :`Add in a box for Guest preferences (room type, side of building, room number, etc), and have it pop-up or appear on the first booking screen when creating a booking through MEWS ops. At the moment, we need to track down the preference notes in the profile (under many tabs), go back and update the booking, instead of having it on hand easily when creating the booking. Same for allergies/food preferences or membership status

    PS, we are ex-Hotello, and this feature was amazing in dealing with customer preferences right as we were completing the booking, and right…

  5. We have basement rooms that we only use in emergencies. These rooms are normally locked throughout the year.

    Currently we have to report the rooms as clean every morning so that they do not appear in hotelkit for room cleaning.

    It would be great if OOO rooms could be excluded from the housekeeping interval.

  6. Es wäre schön, wenn man die Anreise-/Abreiseliste nach Nachnamen oder Zimmernummern sortieren könnte. Die Option "Gruppieren nach" nimmt viel zu viel Platz weg.
    Es ist sehr zeitaufwändig, jeden Tag eine neue Excel-Liste zu erstellen. Das wäre mit einem Knopfdruck sehr viel effektiver.

  8. When you add a product you cannot see the bill balance. Posting a new charge or adjustment to close the bill becomes unnecessarily inefficient. I'd like to propose moving the bill balance, the add product sidebar, or displaying the bill balance in the sidebar for easier reconciliation. Just not great UI.

  9. we would like to ask for guidance regarding the handling of Business Packages, as we are currently facing significant operational challenges in daily use.

    From our perspective, the key requirement is that the Business Package is displayed as one single bundled item
    both in the PMS from a staff perspective
    and in the kiosk view for guests

    It should not be split into individual components such as wifi, drinks or food.

    Current situation
    On the final invoice, the Business Package is displayed correctly as one bundled position.
    However, in the operational PMS view, the package is broken down into multiple…

  10. we want to be able to disable the "create keys" for a specific service or a room category. For example conference rooms that we have as a separate service in Mews have traditional metal keys or for the Parking where they only need a code we would like to have the "create keys" option NOT ticked.

  11. In the space status report, in the filter, under Options, add the option Display Tasks for our Housekeeping to see if any important things need to be added to the room.

    Im Raumstatus report, im Filter, füge unter Optionen, Aufgaben anzeigen hinzu. Damit Housekeeping besser sehen kann ob das Zimmer noch etwas benötigt.

  12. In other systems its common that you can delete/deactivate certain things via a multiple selection. It would be great if that was also available for the above mentioned within Mews.

  13. Hi MEWS Community,

    We currently use non-refundable rates, but on Booking.com we still allow a certain level of flexibility:
    Guests can modify their stay dates prior to arrival with no penalty for the cancelled nights. The stay itself remains non-refundable, only date changes are permitted.

    This flexibility works very well for us commercially and helps reduce full cancellations while keeping the revenue secured.

    However, we’re finding it difficult to replicate this exact logic in MEWS.
    At the moment, MEWS treats non-refundable rates as fully rigid, without the option to allow date changes while keeping the payment non-refundable.

    When a guest shortens or…

  14. Summary
    When changing the bill owner, additional services (e.g. breakfast and breakfast adjustment) initially follow the new owner correctly. However, as soon as the guest checks in, these items revert back to the previous Reservation Owner due to default billing automation.

    Current impact

    Manual changes done before check-in are undone

    Creates daily manual work (15+ bills)

    Increases risk of billing errors

    Improvement request
    Please allow one of the following:

    Additional services to respect manual owner changes and not revert at check-in, or

    A billing automation setting to control whether additional services follow the Bill Owner or Reservation Owner during check-in.

  15. For standard suites, it should be possible to book for two children regardless of age, but currently it only allows booking for one child. How can we get this changed?
    Also, it should not be possible to book an extra adult in these rooms. How can we get this changed?

  16. In other systems we had before we could see in the mobil versjon who created the task and who have updateded it. it would be greate if we could see it in the mews app aswell. I can see that in mews desktop versjon i can see this info, but its much better to have it in the app aswell since our technical department only take with their phone when they go out to do a task.

  18. We need the ability for the Ledger or Reservation Report to surface future arrivals that have routed billing but still carry unpaid balances. It would be more efficient to pull that data in one place.

    This visibility allows hotels to proactively verify payment arrangements, prevent revenue leakage, and resolve billing issues before the guest arrives. Adding this filter or data point will reduce manual audits and improve operational readiness for front desk and accounting teams.

  19. You have moved the Accounting Report away from the main screen and into a sub category of Finance.

    This is a terrible idea.
