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. When entering names in a group, the costs should NOT move to different invoices. It is a group, so all costs need to stay on the Paymaster. We are moving the charges so many times, it is ridiculous. When group, costs are grouped.

  5. Cutting a key after manually checking in a reservation before this reservation's scheduled arrival time retains scheduled arrival time rather than actual, which is good in case one wants to hand over the key but not give access to the room before official time (f.ex. if guest has declined to pay early check-in fee). If one wants to grant early check-in nonetheless, or a fee has been agreed, it would be good if there was a button for staff to confirm that key creation must substitute ActualStartUtc for ScheduledStartUtc

  6. It was previously possible to see the payment status when clicking on the 'Details' tab while checking the reservations report. It would save time as it would not be necessary to open the reservation via 'Manage' which then defaults to the beginning of the report.

  7. 💡 Descripción / Resumen

    Actualmente, las automatizaciones en Mews Operations están muy enfocadas en la facturación. Solicitamos la posibilidad de crear reglas y automatizaciones operativas desencadenadas por acciones específicas de los usuarios, concretamente al crear o asignar bloqueos de uso interno.

    ⚙️ Detalle de la funcionalidad

    • Ubicación: Línea de tiempo → Añadir Uso interno → Notas (o gestión general de reservas)

    • Disparador (Trigger): Cuando un usuario concreto (o un rol de usuario específico) cree o ponga un bloqueo de Uso interno

    • Acción automática: Añadir automáticamente un texto predefinido o personalizado en el campo de Notas

    🎯 Valor para el negocio…

  8. Booking.com reservations received via Siteminder cannot always land with correct age categories. For example if you set 0-2 year olds as an ‘infant’. For SiteMinder, ‘Infants’ should use code value = 7 but Booking.com only send two codes to Siteminder (code 10 = adult and code 8 = child) therefore Siteminder cannot tell Mews that there is an infant within the reservations. The Channel Manager logs should read the age listed on the xml as well as the AgeCategoryCode.

  9. We would like Mews to support predefined notes at the travel agency and company level. These notes would be automatically added to reservations linked to the corresponding agency or company.

    While company mappings and automated billing rules are already available, automatic reservation notes would provide clear operational instructions to front desk teams, helping them quickly identify specific procedures and invoicing requirements for each booking.

  10. In Action logs area, actions done by Central Users are not tracked. Considering that Central Users are also administrators of all properties, it is a significant issue that there is no visibility into the changes they have made.
    We ask to include actions made by Central Users into action log.

  11. Problem:
    When we create a booking, we send the guest a payment request linked to the reservation. However, if the booking is later cancelled, the payment request remains active and must be cancelled manually.

    Solution:
    Automatically cancel linked payment requests when the related booking is cancelled.

  13. It would be great if Mews Kiosk allowed guests to complete a pre-check-in, so hotels could collect all the required guest information even if the room is not yet ready.

    This would allow the reception team to complete the pre-check-in process in advance, and then simply hand over the room keys once the room has been cleaned and is ready for occupancy.

  14. For easing the operation of our users (mainly Front Office) we would need to have a way to create a billing automation to move room charges coming from the Mews POS.
    In reality the request is wider. It could be perfect to be able to handle more than one billing automation per reservation.
    As of now, we already have billing automations in reservations with travel agencies, so applying another billing automation here is ruled out.
    Also, right now if i want to select only the additional service belonging to the Mews POS room charges, i'm force to select bookable services…

  15. I would like to have the opportunity to configure profile fields as mandatory or optional. For example, for us it is very important to ensure that all guests that check-in have a valid, non-OTA e-mail address.

    E-mail address is currently an optional field. we would like to have the ability to make it mandatory.

  17. One important area for future improvement is the reservation amendment process. Currently, when modifying an existing reservation, such as changing dates, room type, or number of guests, there is no option to preview the updated rate or any supplemental charges before saving the changes. Staff must first apply the amendment in order to view the new pricing and communicate it to the guest. This creates operational challenges, as there is no reliable way to revert the reservation back to its original details and rates if the guest declines the updated pricing. For example, MEWS currently allows additional nights to be…

  18. The reservation form needs a prompt to allow the guest to indicate their desired arrival time. As a small property, managing our staff is very important. If a guest isn't arriving until 11pm, we need to know that ahead of time. There should be a mechanism displaying the default arrival time and allowing the guest the option to adjust it. Having a guest arrive at 3pm versus 9pm makes a big difference for staffing and housekeeping.

  19. My restrictions list is very long- different rooms have different restrictions and I have to create a restriction for every single holiday when I want a different nightly booking minimum (e.g. 2 nights or 3 nights). When looking at the long list, it would be A LOT faster for me to know why I created a specific restriction if you would allow me to name it myself. For example, my restriction for 5/22-5/25 that requires a 3 night stay, I could name "Memorial Day" instead of having to figure out from the dates why I created that specific restriction.

  20. Wenn man über das Plus Zeichen eine neue Reservierung eingeben möchte, dann sieht man unten alle Kategorien und alle Raten.
    Wenn ich nun die Kategorien nach unten scrollen muss, um zB die Verfügbarkeit der Kategorie 9 zu sehen, dann sehe ich zwar die Raten, aber die Namen der Raten nicht mehr. Ich muss mir also merken, welche Rate an erster Stelle steht?

    Ich wünsche mir, dass der Balken der Ratennamen mit nach unten fährt.
