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. View of the time line to be improved. The date row shows the date in the left of the cell which and it is above the previous night reservation column. This confuses the the viewer. the date should be either in the middle of the cell or to right of the cell.

  2. Currently, guests can only be marked as Checked In once their room is ready. There is no way to indicate that a guest has already arrived at the hotel and is waiting for their room.

    It would be useful to add an "Arrived" or "Early Arrival" status that can be selected before check-in. This would give front desk teams a clear overview of which guests are already on property, help prioritize room readiness, improve communication between departments, and provide more accurate arrival data without affecting the check-in process.

  3. After 3 days of vacant dirty, rooms get really dusty, develop a bad odor, spider webs created all over and white bed sheets get stained with dust and dirt particles from the ventilation. Operation wise, this is not conducive nor does it portray the kind of hospitality service we envisage. That being said, I ask that you make the legionella settings more flexible so we can set the number of days as we want and that we set MEWS to put rooms on dirty every 3 days, rather than 7 days. More also, the current legionella settings can be maintained…

  4. When the bill is closed with a deposit, it clearly states on the bill that there is a deposit in a separate segment of the bill.
    However, the problem is when the bill gets reissued. The deposit item is no longer in seperate segment.

    As it is now registered as an "additional" expense item, it now gets only put under the top part of the bill under the stay package.

    The clearer way would be to keep it in a separate segment (Similar to how we bring back payments on original bills)

  5. online check-in is not recognizing Spanish DNIs as Spanish documents: the "Country of issue" field stays blank, causing the support number to be wrongly loaded into the "Document number" field.
    Workaround required for every check-in: manually select Spain as country of issue, delete the wrong number from the document field, then manually enter both the support number and DNI number in their correct fields.

  6. Hello everyone,

    We would like to suggest a few improvements to the timeline in Mews that could significantly enhance usability:

    Better color customization
    The current grey shades are very similar and hard to distinguish. More contrast or customizable colors would improve readability.

    OTA/source icons on reservations
    Adding icons (Booking.com, Expedia, Direct, etc.) would make it much easier to instantly identify the booking source.

    Guest count visible on timeline
    Showing the number of guests directly on each reservation would greatly help with quick planning and overview.

    Payment status indicator
    An icon to show whether a reservation is paid or still pending…

  7. When a user re-issues a bill or invoice, a reason code is requested. It could be useful to have a list of standard reason codes (wrong payment, wrong price, wrong profile etc) and that the reason codes were accessible through the API. Then it can be used to pinpoint the reason for a re-issue. From that we can pinpoint training, information or setup to make sure we avoid too many credits.

  8. It would be great if we could label the bookings individually and make sure that this is everywhere visible.
    Example: Speakers from the seminar
    We make do with the top management classification in the guest profile, but even this is not obvious everywhere.
    I expect to see this information in the booking overview of a group, for example, without having to expand the reservation. And it must be visible in the timeline.
    In addition, this is a classification that does not belong to the guest profile, but to the individual room reservation. After all, the speaker could arrive later as…

  9. here is a recommendation for your team, maybe we need to add and the ACTION LOG who made keys, or how many keys were made, and change the language from "confirmed" to "checked in" on the action log, you can share that with your team, we can not see who makes keys and when or what times, and having to read the whole lines of words to see the room was confirmed would be much easier if it says checked in.

  10. Allow properties to define a daily cut-off time for same-day reservations

    Many properties using Mews do not operate a 24/7 reception. Our guesthouse, for example, accepts check-ins only until 10:00 PM, yet Mews continues to allow guests to make same-day reservations until midnight.

    At the moment, the only automated solution is to use Zapier with webhooks. Zapier is an excellent product, and I understand why Mews offers this integration. However, many properties only need this one simple function. It is difficult to justify purchasing an additional automation platform—sometimes together with a higher Mews subscription—just to stop same-day bookings after a…

  11. We would need the consumption date appear in the billing window. This helps us to know which consumptions we have to root to different billings since we have a lot of monthly billings.

  12. We would like to suggest an important improvement regarding group reporting and forecast accuracy.

    Currently, Mews only considers picked-up (confirmed) reservations within groups when calculating revenue and ADR. However, blocked rooms that are not yet picked up are completely excluded from revenue and ADR calculations, even though they are included in occupancy.

    This creates a significant discrepancy in forecasting and reporting.

    Example:
    A group is booked for a future date with 20 rooms blocked at an ADR of $200
    No rooms are picked up yet
    One individual reservation exists at an ADR of $250

    In this scenario:
    Occupancy correctly reflects…

  13. We would like to suggest an improvement to how products are added manually in Mews.

    When a product is configured with timing: "reservation end", this should also apply when the product is added manually under the booking --> "Items".

    Currently, manually added products default to the arrival date, which requires manual correction every time.

    This would be especially useful for products such as:

    • Extra cleaning after pets
    • Pickup of additional items (e.g. linen, towels, baby chair, etc.)

    These types of products should always be posted at the end of the stay, as the service is performed after departure.

  14. We would like the cancellation cost calculation to reflect only the final version of a reservation at the time it is cancelled, rather than including cancelled nights from previous amendments.

    Currently, if a reservation is modified several times before being cancelled, the cancellation cost report includes all cancelled nights associated with the reservation history. This makes the report difficult to interpret and does not reflect how many hotels manage cancellation fees in their daily operations.

    We would like to have one of the following options:

    A setting to calculate cancellation costs based only on the final reservation before cancellation.
    Alternatively,…

  15. By default, Mews only moves the line items, but does not transfer the associated profile when items are moved within the same customer. We need to have the associated profile be copied to the new bill when moving the items

  17. When using the calendar view and adding a restriction, after saving, you are automatically redirected to the list of restrictions, which means leaving the calendar view. Therefore, after each addition, you need to go back to the calendar and reapply the filters to display the desired dates.

    I considered the solution of opening two windows—one to keep the calendar view open and the other to create restrictions. However, this does not solve the problem: when a restriction is created in one window, the other window needs to be refreshed to display it, and this refresh resets the filters and returns…

  19. Currently it seems like the algorithm to recommend/decide price changes dominantly triggers for dates where a change in occupancy is detected.
    Market shifts and pricing changes in the compset are less often reflected in pricing decisions, it seems. This can easily lead to pricing oneself out of the market.
    Maybe this is a problem that small hotels are more seeing because a nominally small change in occupancy (eg. 3-4 rooms being booked for a date) are relatively large changes in occupancy (like 10-20% maybe), which probably is a strong signal for atomize to raise prices, but when at the same…
