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.

    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.

  2. Currently, Mews only automatically assigns the company profile to a reservation if the guest selects the specific corporate rate linked to the voucher. However, when a guest uses a voucher but chooses a public rate (e.g., “Website Promo”), the company profile is not automatically applied. This results in extra manual work and potential errors in billing and reporting.
    Why is this important?

    Ensures accurate billing and reporting for corporate bookings.
    Reduces manual intervention and the risk of human error.
    Improves efficiency for both hotel staff and corporate clients.
    Suggested Solution:

    We propose that Mews automatically assigns the company profile to…

  3. We are a self check-in hotel, and we want to prevent last-minute reservations from being assigned to dirty rooms. Currently, the restriction for dirty rooms only applies at the check-in stage.

    Because there are not always staff onsite and we often receive last-minute reservations, this creates stress around guests booking rooms that are still marked as dirty. In these situations, guests are unable to check in, and there is no one available to assist them.

    Right now, this requires a lot of manual work to mark dirty rooms as Out of Order to prevent them from being rented.

    It would…

  4. Splitting a reservation to allow a room change should NOT create a new reservation. It is not operationally efficient and makes no logical sense. Creating a new reservation leads to several issues:

    If the invoice is already closed, it generates a credit note.

    If the invoice is still open, it splits it into two invoices.

    When analyzing data for important decision-making, it distorts the results because you end up with a new reservation that is not real. It alters metrics such as booking lead time, pickup, and more.

    I strongly believe this is an issue that MEWS should address

  5. Ich hätte gerne die Möglichkeit, einer Rate nur ein gewisses Kontingent zuzuordnen.

    Ich habe eine Frühbucher-Rate, möchte diese aber nur für eine begrenzte Anzahl an Zimmern buchbar machen.

    Wir arbeiten mit DIRS als Channelmanager, da konnte ich das als Regel einstellen (schließe diese Rate, wenn weniger als x Zimmer verfügbar sind).

    Sinnvoll wäre es, dies unter den Restriktionen einzutragen.

    Würde mich sehr freuen, wenn dies realisiert würde.

  6. Add More conditions to the Product Rules: so users can have even more specific applications. Some of them are:

    Such as the "Creation Date" of reservations. Especially if a new tax/service fee is to be in effect only after/before a certain date.
    Age Categories
    Space Features
    Valid Period of promotion (Voucher)
    Floor Number

  7. The option of setting automatic alerts to pop-up during different stages of reservations, such as during check-in, any time you open the reservation, during check-out. The alert text should be customizable, so a user can enter anything there, but also the possibility of adding standard alerts depending on membership level, profile classifications, specific rates, etc.

  8. The "group by" filter in the reservation report does not differentiate between groups with 1 reservation and those with 3+ reservations. Mews assigns a group reference/name to all regardless of the number of reservations in the group.

    For better group management, we need a more comprehensive group reporting for all corporate/business/conference groups at a property which would aid in easier marketing, financial performance, and reservation management.

  11. There is no report on issuing a statement for an individual company, at any time of the month which should include invoice number, date of invoice, amount and the period (if it's overdue, how many days). Statements should be issued to companies on a regular basis in order to allow them to reconcile the account!

  12. La balance des tiers est illisible car tout est mélangé sans logique. Merci de la développer comme suit :
    - Balance des débiteurs (séjours passés = factures à envoyer)
    - Balance des encours (clients encore présents)
    - Balance des acomptes (clients à venir ayant déjà fait un paiement)

    Et pire encore, si une société ou un client a plusieurs séjours de réservé, les factures n’apparaissent jamais à traiter, ce qui nous pose ensuite des problèmes pour nous faire payer car les factures sont envoyées trop tard.

  13. Would it be interesting if it was possible to discount of a rate depending on length of stay ?
    So for example:-
    - Stay 2 or more nights and save 10 %
    - Stay 3 or more nights and save 20 %
    - Stay 5 or more nights and save 25 %
    - Stay 7 or more nights and save 30 %

    This set-up will allow properties to create promotions that are a bit more dynamic

  14. When preparing the bill for customers, there are solely two displayable options available.
    1. Display detailed products
    2. Display everything together as package

    The problem hereby is, that this must be changed in the backend and is set for every invoice immediately. There is no flexibility at all to display the bill differently and spontaneous. In my eyes, this is a must have as sometimes it is necessary to show the invoice as a package and for business travelers for example in detailed.

  15. Bed Allocation needs to be optimized in order for one guest profile/booking with several individual bed reservations (eg several beds within one room category) to be allocated in the same room instead of being separated into several rooms/floors. In a house with more than 80% of occupancy rate, there is no way to allocate guests in the same dorm.

  17. I would like to suggest two things:
    - Employee priviledges: be able to block rate changes
    - Be able to push a report to see if there was a rate change to a booking

  18. For me Mews is all about cutting the extra manual work and automatize as much as possible. Having this in mind and that on a daily basis we use Mews Commander religiously so the FO and the HSK team know which rooms are cleaned it would be amazing to understand without having to manually insert the staff names on the status report who is cleaning which rooms and how long they take.

    Mews already stores all the information we need just does not have a way to push the data for analises.

    This could cut the time we have to…

  19. When taking a manual payment such as on arrival, post as a payment against a deposit bill raised in same button, e.g. take payment and raise automatic deposit bill. This will save front desk time when checking in a high volume of guests that pay via pdq terminal on arrival and allow them more interaction time with the guest.
