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. In other systems its common that you can delete/deactivate certain things via a multiple selection. It would be great if that was also available for the above mentioned within Mews.

  2. Currently, it’s not possible to change the rate of an availability block once it’s created. To make any adjustments, the block would need to be deleted and a new one created.

    It would be very helpful to have the option to modify the rate directly without having to delete and recreate the block.:)

  3. 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…

  4. When adding multiple quantities of the same additional service product to an open bill, the display is different depending on the quantity selected when adding the product.
    - When I input a quantity of 10 or less of the product, the open bill shows each individual product as an individual line on the open bill.
    - When I input a quantity of more than 10 of the product, the open bill shows one line that groups all those products.
    Property would like that one grouped line is displayed on the open bill regardless of the quantity, as this makes it…

  5. 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…

  6. 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.

  7. Seeing a marker on the timeline for reservations that are unpaid, have an open bill, or are carrying a balance would be a huge help for reservation teams. Even just a dot like Cloudbeds has.

  8. Can you make new "last minute" arrivals for today more visible on the arrivals list?

    • Arrivals made between yesterday 00:00 and today are not easy to see unless you check the reservation report, which is not user friendly in a fast pace environment.
    • Can they be marked in the system with a symbol or color or notification (or in any other way) for us to be notified on the day?

  9. Warum muss ich bei einer Firmenreservierung sofort einen Gastnamen anlegen? Es wäre einfacher, wenn ich nur den Namen der buchenden Person anlegen könnte und die Gästenamen dann nachtrage. So muss ich die Felder doppelt ausfüllen. Gerade bei Firmen, die mehrere Zimmer gebucht haben, ist das anstrengend.

    Why do I have to create a guest name immediately when making a company reservation? It would be easier if I could just enter the name of the person making the booking and then add the guest names later. This way, I have to fill in the fields twice. This is particularly tedious for…

  10. Would be very helpful if the dietary restrictions or allergies the guest enters on their profile to also appear on their booking in the timeline and not just under their profile. This will save us a huge amount of time

  11. We need the ability for the Ledger or Reservation Report to surface future arrivals that have routed billing but still carry unpaid balances. It would be more efficient to pull that data in one place.

    This visibility allows hotels to proactively verify payment arrangements, prevent revenue leakage, and resolve billing issues before the guest arrives. Adding this filter or data point will reduce manual audits and improve operational readiness for front desk and accounting teams.

  12. You have moved the Accounting Report away from the main screen and into a sub category of Finance.

    This is a terrible idea.

    Please move it back.

  13. We have a bunch of big groups coming which all have the same task set up, for different departments (e.g. housekeeping and reception). It would be great to be able to make the same task once for the whole group, instead of doing 30-40 tasks individually. The same would go for if we need to make the same task for multiply departments, it would make it easier to just choose the corresponding departments.

    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. So every night I have to copy the person ID number of every reservation that is checking out that day, to close bills properly during the morning check-out time.

    My point is... Could it exist an automation that once you complete an ID / Passport number, it is copied to the TAX identifier directly?

  15. 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)

  16. Currently when an availability block is created, you can only block a space category overall. What would be beneficial to see an accurate ADR forecast/OTB for the future, is to be able to block rooms based on single or double occupancy.

    For example, we block 8 rooms Standard as Single Occ. and 2 rooms Standard as Double Occ. with 2 different rates, so the ADR is calculated correctly. Currently it is only based on one rate and then adjusts once picked up based on occupancy adjustments, but for forecasting this is no use.

  18. Currently, it is not possible to move a guest from a higher category to a lower category in the planning view. This restriction is particularly problematic when working with groups for whom the room type is irrelevant. Each time, you have to go to the reservation in question to make the change. This is a waste of time for us.

    This restriction would be implemented to avoid making mistakes. But why not simply display a warning message, but still leave this option open?

  19. Currently, the way room numbers are sorted in Mews is fixed and there is no way to change it quickly. It would be helpful to be able to sort rooms numerically, alphabetically or by floor and to allow for quick changes between these displays for different workflows.

  20. Since some days the timeline always jumps/ changes in a way that the reservation clicked on appears in the middle of the window on the left side. Also if you just want to move a reservation to another space. This is really annoying.
    couldn't you change this back?
