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. On Expedia Collect and Airbnb bookings, the OTA collects the occupancy tax (city tax) and not the property. It therefore requires us to make some unfortunate accounting adjustments at the end of each month.

    We would need to be able to choose which taxes apply to Travel Agents.

  2. Unfortunatelly it is not possible to change to the service name on the online check-in, unfortunately the online check-in configuration is outside of the services and located in the Settings > Property. Therefore it is not possible to change this text to use the service name.

  3. Customer X has booked room category #1. If I manually upgrade him (drag and drop) to a higher category, say #2, then the OTA's availabilities will be updated to reflect this upgrade. Then, If I manually downgrade X in his original requested category the OTA'a availabilities will be once more updated and revert to their original state. However, if X is downgraded not by manual drag and drop but by being "bumped" into his original category through the dragging and dropping of another customer Y onto X's room, then the new availabilities resulting from this bumped downgrade will not be…

  4. There is a setting in the system to instruct optional and inquired reservations to auto release. To operate a waitlist it would be better to split this instruction so that inquired bookings auto release and optional reservations don't auto release.

  5. When using shared inventory in a hostel setting the occupancy graph is rendered almost unusable. When having a dorm sellable as a Dorm or a single bed, if arrivals was 1 for a bed on the day in the reservations section, the graph directly below will indicate 2 arrivals if the dorm was not occupied previously. There is only truly 1 arrival.

    Appreciating additional logic would need to be applied across the system, though this would make it far more actionable insights and give team members actionable information.

  6. We see that items on bill 13947 are ordered in a way that we don’t understand. Can you provide some clarification on this? Property wants to order items by date. Since the date sorting in the billing screen is not in order, the bill cannot be printed in date order.

    The issue occurs when bills are imported from Lightspeed, I think? I am not entirely sure on this but it seems to be the case.

    AFAIK we don’t have any ordering on bill items level.
    Therefore this is a feature request

  7. Operations are complaining about the lack of housekeeping statuses, especially check in status. Optimal functionality would be "occupied" but maybe it could be solved by using clean status at check in?

    The reason for this is that by keeping the space inspected, front office forget to check in reservations (ghost rooms) and they lose control over how many inspected spaces are available to sell to walk ins. For housekeeping it is the other way around - when check in makes room dirty they re-visit already cleaned rooms, disturbs guest etc.

  8. It is impossible to find a specific invoice if it is owned by a company with over 100 invoices attached. Guest names/references should show by default in the list.

  9. Gender / Nationality / Date of birth by booking

    Could we make madatory for a guest who is booking to fill his Gender / Nationality / Date of birth as well ? Right now he only has to fill his last name, email and phone number.

    We have an all-female-dorm and some men keep booking it for some reasons. Gender with "Woman / Man / Non binary (or diverse?) at the moment of booking could really help us. As it is mandatory for us to have the nationality of the guest as well as his birth date, those could be…

  11. When you put in a rate in Availability block the product rule that you have made should for the rate should follow. If I make a Availability block today and put in a rate the product rule for that rate doesn´t follow and I need to make a new product rule for every new block I do.

    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.

  14. Have you been scared you did a manipulation on production instead of demo? Especially when you started with Mews and everything you looked at was new to your eye? It happened to me a lot, and I thought the blue demo logo maybe isnt big enough... actually if the entire top banner was blue it would be so much easier to identify and remove all doubts about which environment we're working on (for us and for hotels too)!

  16. When Routing to Company/TA is used, to transfer certain products to the Company/TA bill, when done for a group with more then 1 room, it will create 1+X bills with the Company/TA. When a rule applies for a group of more then 1 room, it should only create 1 bill with the routing Company/TA, otherwise you have to merge all the individual bills to 1 Bill for the company. When Having a lot of bills to the Company/TA it's very confusing and tricky to do so.

  17. It would be useful if the "missed check out" status could be represented on the timeline by the reservation changing colour, similar to the "missed departure" status where the reservation changes to orange the day after they were supposed to check out. This could also be shown in the app. Currently the "missed check out" status can only be seen in the Reservations Overview Report.

  18. When you have derived (dependent) rates, it would be good if you can add different adjustments per room type.
    For example to have 10% higher for a Single room, 15% higher for a Twin room, and so on. At the moment it is only possible to make absolute adjustments with same percentage/amount for all the room types.

  19. Guests sometimes have multiple orders made via online Booking Engine, which means there is several payments on one bill. It would be good that payments are marked with time stamp and what are they related to (which stay).

  20. At the moment, the invoice disappears under the billing tab for the guest reservation when you transfer it to another customer card/group.
    This means that you need to go to the items-tab under the reservation and from there go to the bill that the cost is on.
    When there are larger invoices that need to be reviewed and moved around, you need to use CTRL+F, which doesn't really work the majority of the time.

    It would have been smoother if it was possible to see the cost on the guest's reservation even if it is not the bill associate.
