Age-based pricing
For guests that are traveling with children, it is nice to give them a discounted price for some stay products, such as breakfast or excursions. Implementation of pricing for children can help to alleviate some of these costs for your customers and make pricing more attractive for families.

Hey Mewsers, Good News! We started researching and collating information about this feature request and Age-based pricing is now on our roadmap as one of our priorities for 2021.
There will be several iterations of releases throughout this year as it is a complex subject that we are tackling. Including pricing, stay products, city taxes, and many more. We will continue to update you through this feature request but remember to check out our product webinars every month (the next one being tomorrow – https://www.mews.com/en/resources/webinars/product-webinar-march-2021) and also keep an eye on our release notes (https://www.mews.li/app/release-notes).
Thanks for your contribution to this request and we will continue to keep you posted.

At this moment we can only charge adults. We have a policy that children under 12 years are free of charge. So if guests book with the booking engine 2 adults and 2 children, MEWS automatically charge 4 adults, so the rate is never correct and we always have to correct this and send a new confirmation to the guest.
Also child product rates would be helpfull if f.e. some hotels charge 50% for breakfast and dinner. Thx -

I totally agree with the previous reviews. This is a critical issue that prevents good optimization. This must be your next priority development !!

I think this is a critical issue! In a city like Helsinki, travel is usually business related but Covid-19 has changed everything. Now we get a lot of family tourism. BUT we cannot offer competitive rates as as we can't have the age based pricing.... It's possible even in all the OTA's to set the prices exactly by age, why not in Mews. Please fix this quickly! Thank you.
Kind regards

Most hotels in the world welcome has a rate for children for breakfast or others.
This is not applicable to Mews. -

For us, as potencial MEWS users, it is a quite important feature because we manage family hotels and it is core on our pricing strategy to be able to provide discounts and advantages for first/second childs in our pricing.

In such a product like ours (Apartments) that has Families as a target audience it is a MUST that we have price based on age! I see this is here since 2018, hoping this is arranged ASAP. Thank you!

Since in the Canton of Ticino all guests are given a ticket for free use of public transport at check-in. To issue the ticket before arrival we need the date of birth of every arriving guests (children's included).

First of all it is strategic choice for our chain of hotels to work with different prices between Adults and Children (with age pricing attached to it.)
It really can't be missed in a proper pms. Though it is very important for our Dutch Hotels having prices which are attractive for families, booking apartments, familiyrooms, etc. with lower prices than adults, it is also important for other departments in the hotel, such as Front Office, F& B, Housekeeping.
Guestlist, breakfast list, emergency services, such as fire deparment, police, etc and child oriented activities.
For our F&B outlets we really must know what we can expect in advance knowin the number of children for breakfast, lunch, diner etc. -

we also have holiday apartments in our hotel which we manage in mews. These would be much more attractive with children prices, because the holiday apartments are often booked by families.

A requirement for many properties in terms of city tax differentiation for children vs adults, competitive pricing and customer retention in general. It is a mantory feature which should be accounted for. Please help!

As we are based in Switzerland where the city tax is different for adults and children therefore it would be great to be able to identify guests as adults or children so we can calculate the city tax correctly. Also, for general guest communication and bookings it would be great to know how many adults and how many children.

I think there are only a few hotels that dont receive children... so that must be a must for us, especially we are a group hostel, where mostly children reside
