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. Nous avons inclus nos lits supplémentaires dans le système mais pourquoi n'est il pas possible de voir leur disponibilité jour par jour? Nous avons dû créer un Excel pour faire cela et être sûr de ne pas être en surbooking de lit sup. Merci


    We have included our extra beds in the system but why is it not possible to see their availability day by day? We had to create an Excel to do this and be sure not to be overbooked. Thanks

    Hello from the Mews product team,


    Thank you for your suggestion. It is currently only possible to view extra beds by selecting individual  rooms each day in the Availability and Occupancy report.


    We have updated your request and set it as one to be upvoted by the Mews Community, for consideration to show extra beds per day in the Availability and Occupancy report.

  2. It is sometimes necessary to block more than one room out of order (an entire floor or entire building in the event of large scale refurbishment work, for example) and it would be helpful to be able to place multiple rooms 'out of order' at once if they all should be blocked for the same dates and same reason.

  3. sometimes you may wish to move a product from one additional service category to another (for example if you add a new service category due to expending the products offered).
    at the moment this is not possible and you have to create a new one and delete the old one. not very time efficient and also messing up your reports as you could already have products booked.
    thank you for changing this

  5. I would like to see where a company or travel agent profile is attached to a reservation, however the assigned billing company is a third party agent/TMC that is not the main company or travel agent to the booking but have the company / agent profile linked to the reservation also print onto the guest bill header details

  6. When reviewing Invoices, there are collapsable sections for each added "Item" during the guest's stay.

    These sections should have subtotals for easy calculation and review.

    For example - when a guest wants to see how much they paid in the spa yesterday, I should not have to add up each treatment they took to give them the total.

    This wastes their time, and mine.

  7. Currently, if a reservation is for multiple rooms, the cancellation policy remains the same as that of the rate group for which they were booked. It would be better, and easier to mitigate the risk of losing of a multi-room reservation, if there was an option of another cancellation policy being available once a minimum number of rooms have been reserved. This would allow us to change the cancellation period, meaning that they have to provide us with more notice of cancellation.

  9. Currently the Bill state only pulls in if it is open or closed.
    It would be good for this to be updated to pull through if the invoice has been sent.

  11. In the availability report, the colomn on the left with the roomtypes, should always show the total number of rooms that you have of this roomtype.
    Indepent if a room is OOO or not. Rooms OOO should be treathed as occupied, ie. only affecting the availability per day in the rest of the columns.

  12. If we make an optional reservation for our guests and send them our offer. The guests confirm the reservations through the link but the responsible employee/department do not get any information or notification, so it is problematic to keep track of these bookings. It would be great to get atleast a pop up notification if the guests confirm there reservations. This information is essential for internal planning for almost every property.

  13. Currently we can 'Create a Key' for a reservation that isn't inhouse. I suggest this button isn't available for team members to click until the guest is in house. There is a 'Check in and Create Key' button which can be used initially, then once the guest is in house the 'Create a Key' button can be available to click. This will prevent guests being issued a key without being checked in accidentally.

  14. Other PMS systems I have used have "absorbed" products in the Rate.

    For example you have a rate of £150 , part of this is £10 breakfast.
    Currently in Mews if you change the price of breakfast , you then need to change all your rates separately which is time consuming.
    It also means that if you have 342 rate, the 33% deduction only comes from the accommodation value and does not take into consideration the products.
    If you change the price of a product it would be great if the value of the accommodation would also change automatically .

  15. To have a View Center from where it’s possible to download the reports from all entities at once. Right now there’s a Dashboard, but not very useful for Finance Department.

    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.

  16. When help is needed in the operation with stripping rooms, the ability to print a VD list, or VC, VI, OOO, & OOS.
    This is basic hotel 101 operation when many employees are involved.

    Ex: houseperson going to take trash from VD rooms, Operations manager going to strip rooms of dirty linens. We all want to be on the same page and not be confused of who went where or who didn't go into a room.

  17. It would be convenient to receive a notification if the occupancy reaches a certain percentage on a certain day. (e.g. if 60% OCC is reached on a certain day, you receive an email to notify you).

  18. When someone extends their reservation for multiple days you currently have to add the rates individually.
    Ex. If someone has a reservation for Jan 1-30 but they want to change their departure to March 31 and their rate is 99.00 you have to manually enter 99.00 60 additional times in the pricing section. Can we get a feature that you can add 99.00 to all extra nights?

  19. When a guest arrives and the room is not ready, it would be good to place the reservation into a Queue that would notify Housekeeping to prioritize this guest room cleaning. This might be an added icon that would put the reservation on top of the normal reservation cards on the arrival screen. The automation part would be to notify housekeeping that a reservation has been put into the queue and waiting.

  20. Include the estimated departure TIME to the check-out report.
    During the online check-out guests can choose the estimated departure time. Could we include this respond to the check-out report overview as a new column for example after the online check-out column?

    Would be especially helpful in planning the peak times at the reception and organising the housekeeping the best way.
