Suggestion for Time Allocation in Space Category Settings
In housekeeping operations, efficiency and planning are key. Currently, housekeepers rely on a “fixed” amount of time per space, depending on the category, features, and other variables. To streamline this process, it would be highly beneficial to introduce a dedicated field within the Space Category settings for allocating the average time required to clean each space type.
Example Time Allocations:
Standard Room: 20 minutes
Junior Suite: 45 minutes
Shared Dormitory with 6 Beds: 1 hourBenefits of This Feature:
Enhanced Planning: Housekeeping managers can better allocate staff and resources, ensuring optimal coverage during busy periods and more balanced workloads.

invoicing a deposit
Option to Issue Pro Forma Invoices or Invoices with a Percentage Deposit Requirement for Booking Confirmation
As we establish our group accommodation billing process, we've identified the need to issue pro forma invoices or invoices that specify a deposit amount—such as 33%—to confirm a booking. This functionality is particularly essential for group bookings, where securing reservations often requires a partial payment upfront.
Currently, Mews does not provide the option to generate an invoice based on a percentage of the booking total. Instead, the system only allows invoicing for the entire amount, which can complicate transactions and discourage early booking confirmations.…

analysis by room typology
When I import into Mews Analytics the information from up to two years ago from the previous PMS, the template provided by Mews does not allow me to differentiate by type of room or flat. Therefore, it will never provide me with the ADR, occupancy or total revenue data by type of room/apartment. It would be very convenient to modify this in order to have a fully detailed history.

Visual Alerts on Timeline for Failed Auto-Settlements
Email notifications can be a lot to go through especially if you are receiving a lot of daily communications to just one main address.
It would be helpful to have visual reservation alerts (colorful) come up on the timeline or on the reservation screen in case of failed settlements (for any reason) - especially after check-in.3 votes -
Add 'Access to the Reservations Report' to the permissions which can be assigned to a user
Mews is implementing many extra ways to secure the user account.
However, if it happens that a hackers gains access to the Mews system, you are pretty much done.All users have access to the Reservations Report, and if the Permission 'View Customer Data' is given to the user (which it will be in 99.9% of the cases) the hacker can easily export the Reservations Report including ALL of the guests private information.
If access to the Reservations Report is either available as an individual permission, or added to the permission 'Access to sensitive reports' a hotel can protect themselves…

Ability to Edit the Base Rate on a Derived Rate
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.

Roomtype setup also needs to have the option to configure a rebate accounting categorie
Roomtype setup also needs to have the option to configure a rebate accounting categorie. We want to split revenue per roomtype with different accounting categories. This is possible, but when revenue is rebated it goes to a general rebate categorie instead of the configured room type accounting categories. Seems like the product team forgot to develop the rebate- and cancelled items accounting categories settings in the room type configuration section.

booking engine rate group
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…

Double click booking on timeline and open booking details page.
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.34 votes -
rename main bill
Hello!
There's a feature in the billing window, to rename the bill, which is very useful. We generally take notes such as voucher numbers to report in the notes of the document to close.
This feature though, is not available for the main bill, but only for additional bills you create.
This is kind of a nuissance because you have to move the items to a new bill in order to be able to rename the bill and set all the notes you need.
It would be great if also the main bill could be renamed.Thank you for your…

Once Nights are Rebated, The Date of the Nights are not on the " Additional Expense Night Items"
The problem is on the open bills after rebates. The night items do not show the dates of the nights. However, when you close or preview the bill, the dates are visible.
This causes some problems in case the bills require splitting of different nights. As the way the night items are ordered on the preview is also not how it is ordered on the Mews open bill.
Current fix is to move the items around and preview multiple times until the receptionists get it right. This is a time-consuming task. If the dates are already there, there is no…

Customer Stats Report: City Focused Filter
The "city" focused filter will allow Sales and Revenue Departments to have the option to pull for more specific/localized stats of their visitors as opposed to a whole region/territory/filter which could affect product creation sales and marketing campaign (Without needing to export to Excel + filter the customer profiles report)

Lead-in time and configuration for product upselling
There is already a suggestion for having a inventory for stay products. Now that the products can be booked by the customer during the booking flow and online check-in, it would be interesting to have more configuration options for upsell products. Right now, it is very limited. Certain products need to be prepared or ordered on request. There should be a deadline of choice. For example: booking a bouquet of flowers can only be added 48 hours before arrival. Otherwise we can't order the flowers anymore. In general; every product upsell that happens within Mews just before arrival, can be…

Invoice sending notification
Earlier we were able to see the invoice on the profile with the notification of closed and sent. This now has been moved the report. We do benefit to see on the profile as this can result in sending the invoice again if the Reception are not confident whilst processing the check out procedures. Going to the report is an option but will be time consuming. Having a report is beneficial for management to track and trace on daily folio sending

Group Reservation Report
The "group by" filter in the reservation report does not differentiate between groups with 1 reservation and those with 3+ reservations. Mews assigns a group reference/name to all regardless of the number of reservations in the group.
For better group management, we need a more comprehensive group reporting for all corporate/business/conference groups at a property which would aid in easier marketing, financial performance, and reservation management.

Availability Block report - show Room Picked-up / Blocked
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 !

added items on bill not shown as package
Manually added items on the bill now show in the package. We always have to open the package in the billing to see, if the guest as any extras to the original booking. This is really confusing because we can't even see if the item was already booked with the original booking or added later.
Before it was easier: we could show the guest the amount of the package booked and below all extra items were displayed.

Dropdown product list in the "items" tab is displaying wrong price as product is selected before the consumption date
The dropdown product checklist in the "Items" tab of a reservation currently displays product prices based on the assumption that consumption will occur on the first day of the reservation. However, some products have variable pricing depending on the day of the week. As a result, the displayed price reflects the price applicable on the reservation's start date rather than the actual consumption date. This discrepancy may cause confusion for staff, as the price shown in the dropdown may not always be accurate.

Read only access to reservations for certain positions
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.
