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. Have the option to link a guest, or add a line item in the profile, when the stay is with a group. We don't necessarily see these guests after their group stay and would allow us to keep our database tracked and either target these guests for conversion, or stop tracking in the database

    PS, we are ex-Hotello, and this feature was an easy sell for us to use before

  2. 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…

  3. New timing option needed. There is continuous and monthly billing automation. I'm posting this on a behalf of a property that expressed interest in having weekly billing automation.

  4. Nous sommes une pourvoirie et nos locations sont pour des chalets, des terrains de camping, des tentes prêt-à-camper et des embarcations nautiques. Le problème est qu'il n'y a pas de "catégorie d'espace" pour les embarcations nautiques, il y en a une seulement pour les vélo. Même chose pour nos chalets ou il n'y a pas ce choix.
    Plusieurs clients nous contactent pour s'assurer que se sont bien des chaloupe à moteur que nous louons et non des vélos.

  5. We’re running into the same issue almost daily. A guest checks into a room, stays only a few minutes or an hour, then switches to another room. Mews immediately flips that first room back to “Dirty,” even though it was fully cleaned and inspected earlier that day.

    Housekeeping ends up wondering why a clean room suddenly looks like it needs a full turnover when, in reality, it only needs a quick touch-up. It slows the team down and creates unnecessary backtracking.

    What we really need are two things:

    1. Automatic “Pickup” logic for short occupancy
      In another PMS, this would fall…

  6. We would like to be able to change the optimize space allocation function in Timeline so that you can assign it as a Permission under roles.
    So not everyone has rights to use this feature.

  8. I would like to request a small development regarding the deposit payments in customer's bill.
     
    Could you please add two new fields on the deposit payment rows:
    - The payment date of the deposit
    - The consumption date of the deposit
     
    These additions would greatly help us in tracking the right deposit when we have done some corrections for the deposit.

  9. 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.:)

  10. I was wondering if it would be possible to add the additional Revenue and product Revenue into the ADR. At the moment it is only calculating the ADR depending on the Revenue and not Total Revenue, creating therefore discrepancies with the actual ADR.

  11. We require a centralized "Select All" function or similar mass-selection tool on the Company Billing overview screen. This should allow users to simultaneously select multiple, or all, pending reservations/invoices and automatically apply the "Choose all products" action before generating the final group invoice.

    When preparing a consolidated invoice for a company with numerous bookings (e.g., a conference with 50 rooms), we currently have to manually click into each separate reservation/invoice and select "Choose all products" before the charges can be moved over to the final group bill. This process is highly inefficient, time-consuming, and prone to user error.

  12. 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.

  13. In the space status report, in the filter, under Options, add the option Display Tasks for our Housekeeping to see if any important things need to be added to the room.

    Im Raumstatus report, im Filter, füge unter Optionen, Aufgaben anzeigen hinzu. Damit Housekeeping besser sehen kann ob das Zimmer noch etwas benötigt.

  14. der Durchschnittspreis im Verfügbarkeits und Belegungsbericht, mach leider keinen Sinn, weil hier werden einfach die Preise der einzelnen Kategorien addiert und dann durch die Anzahl der Kategorien geteilt. Wir haben haben viel mehr Standard Zimmer als Suiten. Somit ist der Preis nichtssagend. Außerdem ist er in der Belegung also auch in der Verfügbarkeit der selbe

  15. We found that some cancellation policy methods feel unclear to guests who book last-minute, and after reviewing the logic behind them, I can confirm that the behavior is due to a current system limitation. But it still needs to be fixed.
    One of the reservations was created on 11/5/2025 at 2:30:56 PM, and the system shows the following rules:
    • Confirmation: IDR 0.00, 50% (Standard Rate)
    • 60 days before check-in: IDR 0.00, 100% (Standard Rate)
    However, the confirmation email displays something completely different:
    • Cancellation after 11/5/2025 2:30:56 PM: fee of 50%
    • Cancellation after 9/18/2025 2:00:00 PM: fee…

  17. 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…

  18. 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…

  19. 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…

  20. 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.

    …
