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. It would be nice to have Room Size information in the Booking engine. Currently we have Maximum persons and Available rooms, so Room Size would be nice to be right next to it.
    I understand this can be added in description of the room, however having a simple field with this information would be much more helpful and easier for guests to understand.

  2. Edit the maximum number of rooms a guest can book at one time on the property's own booking engine to match the property's preference

  3. Hide private rates when modifying the rate plan within an existing reservation - why do we have private rates that require a voucher to book if the front desk can choose ANY rate (private or public) within the existing reservation screen under Pricing tab? Defeats the purpose and allows the Front Desk to modify to choose rates that should not be bookable.

    Product team - can you at least allow us to restrict this by access?

  4. Hello,
    I would like to submit a feature request regarding reporting for availability blocks / group reservations in the Reservation Report.
    Previously, I used the old Reservation Report to isolate a specific group by its Group Name and then generate a report with the number of nights and the total amount. This was very useful after a group had already departed.
    Now that the old Reservation Report is no longer available, I cannot do this properly in the new Reservation Report.
    The current alternatives are not reliable enough for this use case:
    Filtering by Company is not sufficient, because it…

  5. Serait il possible d'avoir le choix de l'affichage des numéro de chambre dans le calendrier? en effet celles ci sont affichées par groupe de chambres de même catégorie. Pourrait on choisir de les afficher par numéro de chambre et avoir ainsi une liste de numéros qui se suivent... plus pratique pour gérer par exemple les chambres communicantes quand elles sont de 2 catégories différentes. plus pratique également pour avoir un visuel ,dans le calendrier, d'un étage complet.

  7. We are an unstaffed property, so any gap in guest communication is a real concern.
    Lately we noticed issues around multi-room bookings and messages that are sent out along.
    In the setup as is, Mews sends a single confirmation for the group rather than one per reservation — which is why the guest only sees confirmation details for one of the rooms, so they cannot manage to check in without assistance.

    Suggestion: Review the setup of mail templates in "Guest Experience", making sure that every single booking receives all the details neccesary for check-in, even if they are part of…

  8. Properties need the Reservations report to distinguish between the originally booked arrival date and the actual check-in date/time.

    At the moment, when a reservation is checked in later than its scheduled arrival date, the Reservations report can show the actual check-in date in the Arrival field instead of the originally booked arrival date.

    This creates reporting issues for properties that use the Reservations report export for stay-duration calculations and operational analysis.

    Current behavior:
    A reservation booked from 20/12/2025 to 27/12/2025 can appear in the Reservations report with an arrival date of 21/12/2025 if the guest was checked in on 21/12/2025.

  9. Sehr geehrtes Mews-Team,

    wir arbeiten sehr gerne mit Mews, vermissen jedoch im stressigen Rezeptionsalltag eine wichtige visuelle Hilfestellung, die wir aus unserem vorherigen System (HS3) kannten: die farbliche Gestaltung der Reservierungen nach ihrem Zahlungsstatus.

    In HS3 waren die Buchungen auf dem Zimmerplan nicht nur nach dem Check-in-Status unterteilt, sondern zeigten auch direkt die Abrechnungs-Situation an. Auf einen Blick war sofort ersichtlich:

    Gast ausgecheckt / erfolgreich bezahlt

    Gast eingecheckt / ausstehende Zahlung

    Gast ausgecheckt / Rechnung noch offen (wichtiger Warnhinweis!)

    In Mews müssen wir aktuell jede Reservierung einzeln öffnen und das Billing kontrollieren. Besonders bei großen Abreisewellen kostet das viel Zeit…

  10. i am looking to hide or show rates, in both the 'manual' reservation creation flow, as well as the booking engine based on various conditions

    eg a company has a contracted rate, and in the contract is also listed that they will always be granted the lowest rate. i dont want to show the contracted rate if eg the BAR is lower, and for some companies that have a discount rate on BAR, we want to ensure that when there is a promotion, that they see this one instead of the contracted rate.

    basically, make it easier and less prown…

  11. We would like to add the feature where the classification of a guest is also visible in the product checklist. When we have a VIP or Important guest, and they come for breakfast, we want to see this directly in the checklist. This way we can give them a different treatment than other guests.

  12. To make it more accessible for people with color blindness, I would like to suggest a design improvement for the Housekeeping Status on the Mews timeline.
    The green (Inspected) dot and the blue (clean) dot are difficult to differentiate. Thank you!

  13. It would be nice to have the share reservation option.
    It means that, if we have 2 reservations in 2 different spaces - in case the hotel has big suites or villas and the guest request to upgrade the orginal room to one of the biggest and eventually share the same one, it would be nice to combine this two reservations in one space in order to free the others which will remain empty with the possibility to resell it

  15. Would it be difficult to add a number of nights the reservation is for to the reservation report view? This would help tremendously. Currently it is very difficult to find the amount of nights the guest has booked in PMS without creating a report - only in Reservation preview from Reservations overview. Otherwise not anywhere in the Reservation properties. It would help choosing appropriate reservations for upgrading when necessary to make available a room category, or to control that room rate is producing correct LOS (controlling the restrictions), or controling that correct products have been added depending on the Length…

  16. When you select out of service it will then give you the option to add a date and time for the future, so its set up similar to Out of Order.

    It allows us to block rooms in the future without impacting the inventory. This is particularly helpful for group managements.

  17. Currently, payments are recorded and consumed at the time they are entered into the system, rather than reflecting the actual transaction date from external payment sources (e.g., bank transfers).

    Client Concern

    Misalignment between:

    Bank transaction date
    PMS payment record

    Creates reconciliation challenges, especially when:

    Payments are received outside working hours (e.g., weekends)
    The responsible staff member is not present

    Forces reliance on:

    Notes/manual tracking
    Institutional knowledge (risk if team member is absent)

    Desired Outcome: Allow date control for external payments:

    Ability to:

    -Backdate payments (e.g., received over weekend)
    -Post-date payments (align with bank settlement date)

    Separate:

    Transaction date (real-world)
    Entry…

  18. Desired Outcome
    Introduce a company-level control mechanism that ensures financial risk is properly managed.

    Currently, blocklisting in Mews is applied at the customer profile level, which aligns with where reservations are created and managed.
    However, in Account Receivables workflows, companies (profiles with billing responsibility) are financially accountable — not the individual customers attached to reservations.

    Option A: Company-Level Blocking

    Add a “Block company” flag
    Prevent:
    -Creation of new reservations linked to that company
    -Assignment of that company as billing profile
    -Applies across all related customer profiles

    Option B: Automated Financial Enforcement (Credit-Based)
    Enhance the credit limit system:

    Automatically evaluate:
    -Outstanding…

  20. Having used Mews PMS since December 2023, an outstanding issue remains a constant source of additional manual work that seems as though there should be a way to automate the work instead.

    Our property has three tax brackets applicable to room reservations, Florida State sales tax (6%), Pinellas County sales tax (1%), and Pinellas County Tourism Development tax (6%). These three brackets are uploaded to the Expedia and Booking.com in their individual brackets just as they are in our Mews PMS.

    When applied, the OTAs (both Expedia and Booking.com) apply a single, collective tax bracket of 13% whereas in Mews,…
