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 events to metrics and reports. 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. Add an extra column to the timeline to add certain importnat and rate / occupancy related events such as conventions, sport, concert, in-house. Column should be right under the dates.

  2. When we upload a Group rooming list, at the moment even if all rooms are single rooms the uploaded names will land in the system as Companion. In this way we cannot see the names of the guests staying in the rooms when we look at the timeline for example. It will show the names that the group was picked up under and since we don't always have the rooming list by the time we actually pickup the rooms we use for instance the group name and all rooms will show the Group name as such. In order for the…

  3. You can only select one rate plan but have the feature to select multiple segments, etc. Why not have the same feature for rate plans?

  4. Dear MEWS Team,

    We would like to give you our feedback on the subject of reports. We have already discussed this issue with our contact person at MEWS, and apparently the reports we want to / can pull are a bit limited. So I am happy to share our feedback here and we hope it will soon be resolved and ready to help other hotels:

    We need the report or reports to work in the following topics:

    • Revenue Conversion --> General and individually (per person)
    • Lead Conversion --> General and individually (per person)
    • Lead per hour --> General and individually…

  5. Hi Mewsers,

    When searching through the product list I would find it very useful to be able to either filter or have it easy visible which products we are offering on our booking engine / guest portal.
    This because we have some products in the list 2 or 3 time because of the way they are charged (once / per night etc. etc.).

  6. Implement a feature to automatically generate a note in a reservation when a specific rate code or company is booked. Currently, notes need to be entered manually. An automated note would be useful for including specific instructions about payment, allocation, and any other important information for the front office. This enhancement would ensure consistency and efficiency in handling reservations.

  7. Where properties receive a high volume of same day bookings, which they review and then either take manual payment or cancel, there should be an option to configure payment policies on rate groups by advance date. This solution would help to reduce the amount of refunds properties need to perform for these particular bookings. This is currently only possible in Mews by creating a combination of multiple policies, rates/rate groups and restrictions.

    Ideal use case below where property only requires one rate and one policy

  8. The summary of guest balance on the check-out page is pretty nice and allows us to see with a quick glance if the guest has something left to pay when leaving.
    It would be much better if that summary only showed the balance for the current stay and not the future stays of the guest.
    Most of our regulars have dozens of stays booked in advance and the check-out summary shows the total for all of them which is completely irrelevant during check-out.

    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.

  9. If there are multiple public rates within the same rate group, MEWS will only display the cheapest option in the booking engine.

    This causes issues for us for example when publishing our Christmas packages. They would both fall under the same rate group (PKG - Package incl. breakfast in this example), but since one package includes dinner and the other one a *****, only the cheaper ***** package will be shown to our guests.

    Now we worked our way around it by creating an additional rate group for the dinner package, however this is causing us to create…

  10. Can you under the Availability Block Report add a column for Picked-up/Blocked rooms?

    So we easily can see what block that still have rooms blocked but not picked up, without having to open each and everyone to check for blocked rooms.
    Per today we only see "status, Start, End, Release, etc"

    Then we can more easily sell it to someone else !

  11. Currently to get to the details section of a booking you have to click on the booking, move the mouse, and click detail.
    We should be able to just double-click the booking on the timeline and go directly into the details of the booking.

  12. Hi Mews team,

    We love the Mews Help AI assistant inside the Mews app, but we see a fantastic opportunity to make it even more valuable for Front Office teams. What if we could feed it with our own information, turning it into a true digital colleague that instantly provides answers about our hotel, the local area, and operational procedures?

    🚨 To clarify: This request is specifically about the AI-powered Mews Help option inside the Mews app, not the external help pages (which are static HTML).

    Why is this important?
    Front Office teams handle a wide range of guest questions…

  14. In the user management section, it would be nice to simply deactivate or reactivate user profiles. Sometimes users work for seasons and leave the company for a few months between seasons. Currently, if you want to stop the access to Mews, you have either to remove the rights of the user or you have to delete the profile and recreate a new profile when the user comes back. When you try to remove the rights, if will not work if the user has created export schedules. The only person who can remove the export schedules is the user himself. It…

  15. It should be possible to set the order of the rates yourself in the reservation form. At the moment it is apparently incomprehensibly coincidental.

    The ordering works in the settings but not in the reservation form.
    It is very annoying when you have to open the dropdown menu every time because the most booked rate is not displayed first.

  16. we've noticed that when creating a reservation manualy from the PMS, on the “Details” page, the confirmation mode defaults is “Do not send”. By changing the reservation status (to Requested or Optional) or even back to Confirmed, the confirmation mode automatically changes from “Do not send” to “Send”. This can be a source of error if the person making the reservation doesn't notice it. I think it would be preferable for the confirmation mode to default to “Do not send”, and for the person making the reservation to change it manually if necessary.
    what do you think?

  18. Right now, if a report is large (example: over a year's time), Mews is slow, and we therefore need to export in Excel instead of "View Report". It would be great if it could be exported to PDF as well.

  19. Access to reservations, but read only. This is useful for smaller properties where for example the security guard needs to check passports/ID to make sure the correct person is in front of them.

    But then don't give them the access to make any changes to them.

  20. We often change how a promotional rate is priced, sometimes off BAR, then we might change it to equal AAA, or some other rate from our RMS. Currently if I want to change the base rate being used, I have to delete the entire rate plan and rebuild a new one.
