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. Problem

    Customers managing group reservations find the current invoice difficult to read because it displays individual consumed postings and package components for every room and guest. For larger bookings, invoices become excessively detailed and are not suitable for finance and accounting teams.

    Desired Outcome

    Allow invoices to be generated in a summarized format that:

    -Groups charges by revenue category.
    -Consolidates repeated products/services.
    -Displays supporting stay information separately.
    -Includes a tax summary by VAT rate.
    -Maintains accounting accuracy while reducing invoice length.

    Example

    Instead of:

    Room package
    Breakfast
    Breakfast
    City tax
    Breakfast
    Breakfast

    display:

    Accommodation (10 rooms) €2,220
    Tourism fee €60…

  2. I would like to propose a feature that tells us “recommended for upgrade” where the system automatically can spot and declare that when we have availability but not in the same room type, MEWS will suggest to upgrade one of more reservations so that we can sell the room for more than 1 night stays, THUS increasing the number of consecutive nights, the guest is able to book.

    It would be great if it could also look at “the booked room is with a balcony, so the room I suggest to upgrade to should also have a balcony” or “there…

  4. Angebote, bzw. Bestätigungen werden zu lange und zu unüberscichtlich, wenn z.B. eine Gruppe für 3 Tage 15 Zimmer bucht mit Frühstück. Da wird jeder Tag mit Frühstücksanteim zum jeweiligen MwStsatz aufgefürht. Viel zu lange und zu übersichtlich. Da würde es doch reichen wenn die Postion Frühstück ( unterteilt nach Speisen und Getränkeanteil ) in einer Position angezeigt würde und das dann mal 3.

  6. We are operating a hybrid property (long- and short-stay)
    All spaces are offered as long-stay, and some of them also as short-stay.
    Every now and then we need to move a space to be offered as short-stay, but the problem is that we cannot remove them from short-stay service once we added them there. This brings a lot of discrepancies in our daily operations and reporting.

  7. We would like to see the chargeable period for an early check-in limited to f.i. 2 hours.

    The reason for that:
    We have an early check-in fee of €15 applied.
    But recently, a guest with a booking for date x checked in via our Kiosk in the night of x - 1 to x, at 2:00pm. He was able to check in by just paying the fee of €15, meaning he had an extra night for €15.

  8. Problem

    Currently, when creating package rates using Product Rules, Revenue Managers have no intuitive way to understand how the final package price is calculated. The only reliable method is to create a test booking and review the resulting pricing, which is both time-consuming and prone to misinterpretation.

    This creates challenges when validating package setups, especially when determining whether products are included, excluded, or distributed correctly within the total package rate. Misconfigurations can easily go unnoticed until after the package is already available for booking.

    Proposed Solution

    Add a pricing preview directly within the Product Rule configuration that provides an estimated…

  9. Problem

    For jurisdictions where guests become tax-exempt after a certain length of stay (for example, 30+ days), Mews calculates tax when each night is posted and locks that calculation permanently.

    If a reservation is initially below the exemption threshold and is later extended beyond it, only the newly created nights receive the exemption. Previously posted nights remain taxable, requiring manual correction.

    Business Impact

    • Significant manual effort for properties managing long-term stays.
    • Increased risk of tax correction errors.

    Proposed Solution

    Provide a controlled mechanism to re-evaluate tax exemption eligibility when a reservation crosses a configured threshold.

    Potential approaches:

    • Automatically recalculate eligible,…

  10. The Mews Booking Engine should allow properties to require guests to enter the exact age of each child included in a reservation.

    Simply asking for the number of children is often not sufficient, as a child’s age can affect:

    Room occupancy and maximum capacity
    Availability of suitable beds or cots
    Pricing and child discounts
    Breakfast charges
    Which room types can accommodate the family

    Collecting the exact ages during the booking process would help properties offer the correct room and price from the beginning. It would also reduce the need to contact guests afterwards for additional information and help prevent bookings…

  11. 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.

  14. 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

  15. 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.

  16. Split Reservation / Automatically transfer booking items when a reservation is split

    Description:

    When a reservation is split due to a room move, scheduled booking items currently remain on the original reservation and must be added manually to the new one.
    This increases administrative work and creates a risk of services being missed.
    It would be helpful if all future booking items (e.g. weekly cleans, breakfast packages, late check-outs, or other scheduled services) were automatically copied to the new reservation for the remaining stay dates, while items that have already been used remain on the original reservation.

    Benefits:

    Reduces manual…

  18. 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.

  19. At the moment you can only make billing automations based on individual rates, this means every time a new rate is added you also need to update each billing automation, something that is easily forgotten and therefor causing operational issues.

    If you would be able to make billing automation based on rate groups instead you will not have the issue as all rates are always insight a rate group and the billing automation will then automatically be updated.

    It would be great if an condition in the billing automation can be added where you can select rate groups instead of…

  20. 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.
