Fire Attention & Fire List
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.

guest preference
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…

Business package handling in PMS and kiosk view
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 guestsIt 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…1 vote -
disable create keys for specific service or room category
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.

cancellation
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…

Additional services revert to previous owner at check-in
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.

Customizable Notifications for Targeted Booking
Hotel teams often need to monitor and act on bookings tied to specific rates, promotions, or space categories due to unique selling conditions (e.g., limited inventory, special packages, or compliance requirements). Currently, notifications are generic and do not allow filtering by these criteria, which can lead to missed opportunities or operational inefficiencies.
Proposed Solution: Enable customizable notifications that allow users to set triggers based on:
- Rate plans or promotions
- Space categories (e.g., suites, meeting rooms)
- Specific conditions (e.g., minimum stay, package inclusions)

Option to create a “Virtual Dummy” Space
At this time, one cannot add a reservation to a space without a Space Category assignment, therefore preventing the space from being used as a virtual dummy.
**Early check-out before assigning the actual room
Helps process:
Pre-arrival cancellations
Group block adjustments
Test reservations sent from the channel manager**Holding reservations temporarily
For:
Fake/test OTA bookings
Testing rate rules
Reviewing tax setups

Weekly Reservation Timeline View
When selecting the Days view in the timeline, it only allows reservations to be viewed for almost up to a week. Once that week rolls over, it becomes quite difficult to view multiple reservations in a single continuous view.
Therefore, having a weekly view on the timeline would be amazingly beneficial.
Having the ability to go one or two steps further back would be extremely beneficial for the property, especially since they mostly work with longer-stay guests.

Recurring availability blocks with exclusion of certain weekdays
We would like to be able to create availability blocks in Mews that generally exclude certain days of the week.
A typical example would be:A room is to be blocked for a company from Monday to Friday throughout the year.
Weekends should be automatically excluded.
The room should be automatically released again one day in advance if it has not been booked.
Currently, it does not seem possible to create availability blocks with a recurring weekday pattern without having to manually create new blocks every week.
It would therefore be very helpful if availability blocks were expanded to include…

Manually pulling reservations via integration
Sometimes you have to manually retrieve reservations via the Booking or Expedia integration. It would be great if you could specify “Retrieve all reservations created between date X and date Y” so that not all bookings are transferred again. We often have cases where changes that have already been made are no longer there when the booking is transferred again. Usually, you know on which day there was a glitch, and you would only have to retrieve the reservations that were created on that day.

Preferred floor numbers
It would be great if you could specify not only your preferred space features, but also your preferred floor. We generally allocate rooms from top to bottom, but we have a few guests who prefer to stay on the ground floor because they don't use the elevator, so that would be very convenient.

Apply Policy Exceptions Based on Stay Dates Instead of Arrival Date
Currently, policy exceptions (e.g., special rules for events or holidays) are evaluated based on the arrival date. As a result, exceptions do not apply when guests arrive before the event period begins – even if part of their stay falls within that period.
Example: For New Year’s Eve we normally require a deposit. However, this deposit is not charged if the guest arrives before the New Year’s Eve policy exception begins, even though their stay includes the event dates.
Improvement Proposal:
Policy exceptions should not be based on the arrival date but should instead be evaluated using the stay dates.…1 vote -
Restrictions for kiosk checkin
There is no place to restrict for example reservations with specific rate codes to check in from the kiosk. This means that people that should have been forced to check in from the front desk for example for a registration of some type of gift cards, validation of employees on employee rates etc can check in through the kiosk without any form of validation.

Enhanced Guest and Occupancy Management for Shared Rooms
We require a solution to accurately manage single room reservations where multiple guests (sharers) have varying arrival and departure dates within the booked period. The current system limits us to registering a static guest count for the entire stay, which results in inaccurate occupancy data and complex billing scenarios (especially concerning automated price codes like breakfast).
Key Requirements (The Three Needs)
To correctly support shared rooms with dynamic occupancy, the system must address the following three critical needs:Need 1: Shared Guest Linking
The ability to link multiple individual guests ("sharers") to a single room reservation.Need 2: Critical Dynamic…

Add room-count restrictions for reservations and daily inventory (min/max)
Idea:
It would be extremely useful to introduce two new restriction options that control rate availability based on room count – both on the reservation level and the daily inventory level. These are different use cases but equally important for pricing strategies.
- Reservation-based restriction: Min/Max rooms per booking What we need:
A setting that makes a rate bookable only from X rooms or only up to X rooms within one reservation.
Why:
Group rates: Should appear only when a reservation contains at least 10 rooms.
Promo / early bird / code rates: Should be limited to a small number of…

SKIP Rates restrictions
Sería de gran ayuda un permiso de Usuario que permita saltar restricciones de tarifas a la hora de introducir reservas.
En nuestro caso trabajamos con tarifas que están limitadas por mínimas y máximas estancias de x noches. Y en ocasiones tenemos que hacer excepciones para prolongaciones de clientes.
Así que nos vemos obligados a quitar la restricción para poder introducir la reserva, y volver a ponerla.
Esto se solucionaría con un permiso para saltar restricciones.
Saludos,

Automatische Suche/ Eingabe von Bundesländern. Ich empfinde es als äußerst mühsam, die Bundesländer selbst "auswählen zu müssen". Speziell wird bei Bundesland dann nicht nur die Österreichischen Bundesländer angezeigt - sonder alle (aus Italien, Deutschland, Schweiz). Trotz das ich bereits Land Österreich ausgwählt hätte.
