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. Hello,

    We would like to be able to add a ''buffer period'' or preparation time between rentals, especially for hourly rentals.

    For example, if a guests rents a bike from 9 to 10am, and my buffer is 1 hour, then it will only be available to rent again from 11 am.

    This will prevent guest overlap if they are a few minutes early or late.

  2. Ons hoofdkantoor heeft besloten om een korting te gaan toepassen op een volledig samengesteld tarief – het skiteam tarief.
    De korting is 5% of 10% maar moet dan evenredig van het totaalbedrag afgetrokken worden, met bijbehorende BTW-tarieven.

    Als ik nu de korting handmatig bereken en onder het kopje logies afboek, dan heeft dit effect op onze ADR en logies-omzet, hoewel er ook een korting van F&B af moet. Graag zou ik naast een samengesteld tarief ook een samengestelde korting willen kunnen toepassen op een boeking.

  3. It would be very practical to be able to make a reservation without having to specify the occupants. For example, for company seminars where some rooms remain unoccupied despite the hotel being privatised, we are obliged to add at least one adult to the booking, even if the room is empty. This complicates management and does not reflect reality.

  4. Two customer scenarios highlight gaps in the current product setup:

    Per-person products/fees (e.g., spa/massage): For spaces that accommodate multiple guests (e.g., a villa for 12), only some may use a service (e.g., 4 guests want a spa). Currently, there’s no way to select a quantity per product for partial occupancy.

    Pet fees: Customers want to charge per pet (e.g., $30 per dog) and allow multiple pets to be added. Currently, the only workaround is creating separate products for each pet count (e.g., “Pet Fee – 1 dog” $30, “Pet Fee – 2 dogs” $60), which is cumbersome.

    Request: Add flexibility…

  5. Currently, when sending an invoice/bill via email for a company owned bill only the company’s invoicing email is automatically suggested as a recipient. However, most of the time the guest (associate profile) should receive the bill as they have to file it with their travel management to get reimbursed.
    Hence, the email of the guest needs to be retrieved manually each time from the guest profile and copied back into the send bill/invoice form. This delays the checkout process unnecessarily!
    Suggestion: automatically suggest the associated profile’s email as a potential recipient in addition to the bill owner’s email when sending…

  7. Being able to filter more in the system, instead of having to "sort by" or select each category one by one to get the information needed.
    For example, being able to select multiple rate codes/or guests with a specific cost when filtering in the booking report.
    Also being able to search by the guest name in the reservation report.

  8. It would be helpful to have a view-only access to the rates and rategroups in the settings so that employees, who are not admins in Mews, can see the conditions and policies of all rates.

    Alternatively, it would be a big help to be able to see the rate description on the reservation when hovering over the rate with the mouse. Right now, if you are not an admin in Mews, you are not able to find or see the rate descriptions of for example OTA bookings, which is impacting our daily operations. This add on would be a great…

  9. Faster way to change rooms status to Inspected

    It would be great to be able to batch-update the status of rooms, this way I can select all rooms that have been cleaned and inspected and update them in just one click. It could be like the checkout feature that allows you to batch check out.

  10. When adding a product to an open bill, even though the product is linked to the reservation, if the reservation is canceleld the productstays charged. Any product that is linked to a reservation, wether it is a bookable product or not should be cancelled automatically when the reservation is cancelled.

  11. To effectively utilize the Availability Blocks section, we need the ability to pick up rooms from a block that has an optional booking status. We often work with call-in allocations, where clients reserve a set number of rooms (e.g., 50) for their participants. As participants book rooms, the booking status changes to "confirmed" once a room is booked for an individual.

  12. Chargebacks need to let the merchant have the ability to have Visa/Mastercard Arbitration Rights against the issuing Bank by the Card Member. This ability can be easily rectified if STRIPE would allow it. All other credit card processing companies allow the Merchant to have arbitration in the United States.

  13. When I click on the Billing button, it currently opens the active bill rather than displaying all open bills. To view the remaining open bills, I then have to click on “All Guests’ Bills.”
    While this is not a major issue, it does add an extra step to the checkout process. If clicking the Billing button could instead display all open bills by default, it would help streamline the workflow and make the checkout process more efficient, seamless and remove that one 'extra click'

  15. The Idea

    Allow users to change the Assigned Space Category across different major categories (e.g., from Bed to Room) without forcing an update to the Requested Space Category.

    The Proposed Workflow

    When a user moves a reservation between space categories, Mews should trigger a simple confirmation window.

    The original button of "update requested category" should remain as it is, in case the user prefer to updated it.

    The system should not force the Requested Category to match the new Assignment.

    The Goal

    To preserve the original booking intent. This allows hotels to accurately track upgrade impact and the delta between…

  17. There is less and less cash money in the wallets of the guests. We would be happy if there was a Mews-integrated Qr-code solution for the room cleaners, which can be distributed in the rooms so that guests can tip about it. I was inspired by the provider "Tippie" > https://tippie.de/ . They offer exactly that, but unfortunately not Mews integrated

  18. Allow controlled edits/voids of incorrect posting during a reasonable period (configurable).

    Prevent misuse: of course, lock items after the window or after key lifecycle events (e.g., allocation to stay charges or end-of-day posting).

    Ensure reporting accuracy: automatically update tax journals, VAT reports, and revenue/prepayment ledgers when correction is made.

    Reduce Manual burden: fewer compensating entries, cleaner financials between source and external systems

  19. The format of viewing the Manager's Report on the screen with "Year Overview" is helpful. Showing Previous Day, MTD and YTD totals. However, it does not work to schedule this report for automatic distribution. The data is not accurate.

  20. We need the ability to use the same e-mail for a different reservation. Why that isn't available is beyond me. We DO NOT want to use the "group" reservation option. We prefer that both reservations be totally separate.
    BUT for some reason MEWS does not allow an e-mail to be used more than once.
