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. To make it more accessible for people with color blindness, I would like to suggest a design improvement for the Housekeeping Status on the Mews timeline.
    The green (Inspected) dot and the blue (clean) dot are difficult to differentiate. Thank you!

  2. I would like OTA-delivered Special Requests (stored in the reservation Properties tab) to be visible in reservation reports and in the Arrivals preview, so staff don’t miss guest-specific details. This is counter intuitive to the highly personalized service we strive for.

  3. It would be nice to have the share reservation option.
    It means that, if we have 2 reservations in 2 different spaces - in case the hotel has big suites or villas and the guest request to upgrade the orginal room to one of the biggest and eventually share the same one, it would be nice to combine this two reservations in one space in order to free the others which will remain empty with the possibility to resell it

  5. I would like a confirmation for packages without mentioning all products from the reservation. These products are set as “Bill as package” anyway and are not shown separately on the guest's bill either. Just mentioning the rate name and total amount on the confirmation would be sufficient. Perhaps with the extension of the textual content of the package.

  7. Would it be difficult to add a number of nights the reservation is for to the reservation report view? This would help tremendously. Currently it is very difficult to find the amount of nights the guest has booked in PMS without creating a report - only in Reservation preview from Reservations overview. Otherwise not anywhere in the Reservation properties. It would help choosing appropriate reservations for upgrading when necessary to make available a room category, or to control that room rate is producing correct LOS (controlling the restrictions), or controling that correct products have been added depending on the Length…

  8. When you select out of service it will then give you the option to add a date and time for the future, so its set up similar to Out of Order.

    It allows us to block rooms in the future without impacting the inventory. This is particularly helpful for group managements.

  9. We really appreciate if there will be possibility to specify age categories to two decimal places (e.g. babies 0-2.99, childrens 3-11.99). These logic is used by lots of OTA´s and we would like to set up our WBE by the same principal to be able to offer the same prices to our guest.

  10. Currently, the cancellation tag in the MEWS booking engine is not flexible enough.

    The logic is fixed on the system side:

    Cancellation on the day of arrival = automatically 2:00 p.m. or defined check-in time.

    Cancellation X days before arrival = automatically 12:00 a.m.

    Individual cancellation times cannot be displayed. Rates such as “cancellable until 6:00 p.m. on the day of arrival” or “14 days before arrival until 2:00 p.m.” cannot be displayed correctly.

    A manual adjustment of the time per rate in the cancellation tag would be necessary in order to display the cancellation conditions correctly and transparently.

    Note:

  12. It would be much more comfortable if the property could choose the order of their rates showing in the New Reservation Screen (NRS).
    Providing a more friendly and personalized use of the system when manually making a reservation for a guest.

  13. Posting on behalf of property:
    For a seasonal base rate, when I want to add an absolute adjustment for specific dates for a specific space category, it does not allow me to do it as simply as for dependent rates. Instead I need to enter the dates, and manually write the price to override. This is quite manual, and much easier to do on dependent rates.

  14. When working on group bookings, allow the on-screen reservations on the right-hand side to be sorted by room number or guest name and not only by display categories. Same with the exported Excel template for groups (which has no actual logic at the moment from one group to the enxt)

  15. It would be useful if you could also see the address when merging the companies and travel agencies. Often there are branches that only differ in their address. This is not apparent from the current comparison.

    Ideally, I could also decide right here whether the address should be transferred. This would avoid the subsequent deletion action because both addresses are currently transferred.

  16. The old layout of the 'reservation report' is much easier to read and much more user friendly. Especially the section containing notes. In order to see them clearly you have to hover over them, which is time consuming and frustrating for the user. The zoom out function is available but I feel this causes potential to miss vital pieces of information. A lot of important details are noted in this section and I feel it is imperative that we can see easily and clearly the words written in this section. The rest of the report is actually very clear -…

  17. Feature Request: Optional Inclusion of Block Bookings in Revenue Management Calculations

    Currently, in Mews, Block Bookings reduce room availability, but their impact is not reflected in Revenue Management and rate management views until reservations are created through Pick up.

    This behavior does not fit our operational needs. When a room allotment is blocked, we would like it to be taken into account immediately in Revenue Management and pricing views, without requiring reservations to be created first.

    It would be valuable to introduce a configurable setting allowing users to choose between the current behavior and immediate inclusion of blocked inventory in…

  18. We would like to only have the voucher/promotional rate visible when using a voucher code, similar to when using the booking link from a group block. Right now, both promotional and public rates are visible.

  19. Es ist unglaublich nervig, dass ich, wenn ich eine neue Reservierung manuell anlege, nicht sofort alle Daten wie z.B. die Adresse des Gastes oder die zugewiesene Firma eingeben kann. Warum kann man das Fenster dafür nicht erweitern?

    It's incredibly annoying that when I create a new reservation manually, I can't immediately enter all the details, such as the guest's address or the assigned company. Why can't the window be expanded for this?

  20. inconsistency when editing products and adjusting the unit price.

    In the edit window, the system displays a field labeled "Total Incl. Tax", which suggests that the amount shown includes all applicable taxes. However, the displayed amount does not appear to include taxes at that stage. The taxes are only applied and reflected after the charge is posted to the folio, at which point the total amount increases to the actual tax-inclusive value.

    This can be misleading, as users may expect the "Total Incl. Tax" field to show the final amount that will be posted to the guest folio, including all…
