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.

  1. 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…

  2. 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. 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…

  8. 💡 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.

    • 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

  9. 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.

  10. 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…

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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…

  16. Hardcoded city tax is now considering date of birth. In case of a child without date of birth filled-in, Mews consider 17 years old. For Infants it should always ignored, even without the date of birth. At least in Italy, infants (0-3 yo) never have to pay.
    So, if it is possible that infants generates city tax, it will be much easier to manage bills.

  17. 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.

  18. Hi Mews team,

    I would like to suggest an improvement for the Notifications panel in Mews Operations.

    We use notifications every day during our night shifts to check all reservations created during the day. The current notification panel becomes very difficult to work with when there are many notifications (for example, 99+).

    At the moment:

    • Notifications can only be viewed in a small pop-up window.
    • The window cannot be resized or opened in a separate tab/page.
    • There are no filtering options (e.g. by date or notification type).
    • When I open a notification, the panel closes automatically and I have to…

  19. In Reservation overview if you want to look another date, you must click DATE, then SEE REPORT.
    Just adding 2 ARROW´S BUTONS would be such a good improvment to navigate forward or backwards. Faster search, less clicks, no choosing dates. Simple
    --> Tomorrow Overview
    <-- Yesterday Overview

  20. The possibility to have a notification when an invoice sent automatically has failed or resulted in Dropped/Bounce. This would allow to be able to track if the invoices are correctly received by the guests/companies.
