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. When printing out regcards via reservation overview report, the report sorting parameters do not influence the actual order the regcards are printed in !

    This makes us lose a lot of time, having to sort all the reservation cards by hand !

  2. When there is a reservation that cannot be allocated and we fix the issue and leave the space available for it, it would be helpful to have an "allocation button" to just allow Mews to try once again to allocate those reservations in the red overbooked area, instead of allocating them manually one by one, and without having to use the Optimize Space Allocation button in the timeline (which could move other reservations that are not locked in place).

  3. When preparing the bill for customers, there are solely two displayable options available.
    1. Display detailed products
    2. Display everything together as package

    The problem hereby is, that this must be changed in the backend and is set for every invoice immediately. There is no flexibility at all to display the bill differently and spontaneous. In my eyes, this is a must have as sometimes it is necessary to show the invoice as a package and for business travelers for example in detailed.

  4. It will be great to have the opportunity to see all the changes made on all the customer profil, more particulary if a classification has been modified or take off. We have the opportunity to see it on a specific custumer profil, but we need to see all in the action log from the dashbord.

  5. If 3 rooms can be sold as AB, BC, and ABC, we currently cannot allow for multiple parent rooms (blocking AB and BC from BOTH being sold)

  6. We don't have 24 hour reception so it would be helpful if, when reception closes, we can put a restriction / stopsell on the remaining rooms so no one can book them after hours

    We are currently adding a Restriction with the start date and end date being the same to get around this issue
    Blocking multiple rooms is also time consuming and alters management reports

    As great as Mews is, I've used 6 other PMS and this is the first one to not have a feature similar to this

  7. When creating a guest rate of room & food/drink, the later should be consumed on posting from the EPoS system (assuming it is interfaced).

    Say we have a rate of $100 of which $70 goes to room and $30 is an allowance in the restuarant. The guest should be allowed to consume whatever they choose in teh restaurant and simply post to their room. At the end of the day, Mews should deduct the lesser of that $30 or their meal from what was posted to teh room. In the event they spend more, they pay the difference at checkout.…

  8. When you have a room which cannot be checked out due to an open bill, you cannot transfer it to an open bill to arrange it later. Now when the hotel is fully booked you need to get rid of that reservation as otherwise you cannot do a new check in on that room.

    Hello all,


    This status update is part of our ongoing work to simplify and streamline how our UserVoice feedback forum operates. We are reducing the number of statuses to two (Idea to Upvote + Released) to help manage expectations about where each idea stands and to minimize the number of status updates required from our product teams. Our product team reviews everything you share, and we might reach out for more info if we need it. 


    Thanks for your patience as we work to bring your ideas to life! You can learn more about the changes coming to UserVoice from this post in the Mews Community.

  10. There is a need to send customizable pre-arrival emails, based off of pre-written templates that are specific to the guest's room type. A couple of different template options, and the ability to customize the message before sending it. That's what we need, desperately.

  11. the payment tab does not show the three vertical dots to do a refund.
    invoice has been rebated and of course you are not allowed to do negative payments.
    frankly this is the worst part of mews - rebates and refunds!
    booking.com is waiting to refund guest so URGENT matter to solve

  12. In the comany profile there should be a way to "archive" or mark related contacts as "past" or "previous" contact persons. So that when one is viewing the related contacts of a company (customer profiles linked to a company profile) only the current hones are displayed, while the past contacts are still visible but cleary marked as "past contacts".

  16. Chain hotels that manage (Group-) or individual reservations for 95% from headquarters level want to restrict individual hotels to make any changes on the reservation. Especially, when the majority of guests are corporate travellers whereby the booking has been made by the company booker. There is an agreement between Chain and Company HQ, whereby the individual hotels are not allowed to make any changes on the reservation.

    Restricting employees to only view the reservation details, but are still able to check-in/out and handle the billing of the guestprofile would resolve this.

  19. When managing different bookable services, like we are. It would be helpful if you can show the name of the bookable service on the booking engine. As it can get confusing for guests to see the hotel's name on top when booking the apartments they manage under a different name across the street.

    Or, like us, when you manage multiple small properties in a single Mews environment, each with it's own name and address.

    On that note, being able to set a different address per bookable service would be great! In the transition to bookable services, this would be a…

  20. The product report does not show all products sold in one view. For example breakfast. We have to open 2-3 reports to show the total amount of breakfast sold. We need one overview of all products sold, not many overviews.
