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. Hello,
    There need to be a Overview function, a function where all reservations shows up in a detailed list which where you can filter directly on the overview either on name A-Ö, ratecodes, floor in the hotel or roomtype just as some examples.

    ex. Click with mouse on name+ enter and all reservations shows in order from letter A, click on a specific rate + enter and all reservations booked with that rate shows in order from the top, click on a name ex. Lisa and all Lisa shows on the screen, (good when you quickly want to see if…

  2. Bitte fügt als zusätzlichen Stornierungsgrund "Krankheit" hinzu. Dies ist der meist genannte Grund für eine Stornierung. Wenn ich "Sonstiges" auswähle und dann als Detail "Krankheit" eingebe, wird auf der Rechnung mit den Stornogebühren als Grund "Sonstiges" angezeigt. Wenn der Gast diese Rechnung seiner Versicherung einreicht für die Rückerstattung, ist diese Formulierung sehr unglücklich, dort müsste zwingend "Krankheit" stehen. Covid-19 als Grund könnt ihr gerne entfernen, diesen Grund brauchen wir zum Glück schon länger nicht mehr.

  3. 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)

  4. Es wäre schön, wenn man die Anreise-/Abreiseliste nach Nachnamen oder Zimmernummern sortieren könnte. Die Option "Gruppieren nach" nimmt viel zu viel Platz weg.
    Es ist sehr zeitaufwändig, jeden Tag eine neue Excel-Liste zu erstellen. Das wäre mit einem Knopfdruck sehr viel effektiver.

  5. Currently, the cancellation tag in the MEWS booking engine is not flexible enough.

    The logic is fixed on the system side:

    Cancellation on the day of arrival = automatically 2:00 p.m. or defined check-in time.

    Cancellation X days before arrival = automatically 12:00 a.m.

    Individual cancellation times cannot be displayed. Rates such as “cancellable until 6:00 p.m. on the day of arrival” or “14 days before arrival until 2:00 p.m.” cannot be displayed correctly.

    A manual adjustment of the time per rate in the cancellation tag would be necessary in order to display the cancellation conditions correctly and transparently.

  6. Hi Team,

    Can we please implement a log for user management actions?
    Right now, there is no tracking in place to see who created, deleted, or modified a user. Adding this log will help us monitor changes, ensure accountability, and maintain accurate records.

    Thank you.

  7. Prevents Abuse and Overuse
    By reducing the time a single code remains active or capping its usage, we minimize the risk of widespread sharing and uncontrolled redemption.

    Protects Revenue Integrity
    The promotion remains aligned with its original budget and ROI expectations, avoiding unplanned discount leakage.

    Improves Operational Efficiency
    Automation removes the need for manual monitoring and intervention, reducing workload for staff and ensuring consistent enforcement.

    Enhances User Experience
    Clear rules and predictable expiration reduce confusion while maintaining fairness for legitimate users.

    Supports Dynamic Control
    The system can apply logic such as:

    -Maximum redemptions per code
    -Automatic generation of new codes…

  10. Warum muss ich bei einer Firmenreservierung sofort einen Gastnamen anlegen? Es wäre einfacher, wenn ich nur den Namen der buchenden Person anlegen könnte und die Gästenamen dann nachtrage. So muss ich die Felder doppelt ausfüllen. Gerade bei Firmen, die mehrere Zimmer gebucht haben, ist das anstrengend.

    Why do I have to create a guest name immediately when making a company reservation? It would be easier if I could just enter the name of the person making the booking and then add the guest names later. This way, I have to fill in the fields twice. This is particularly tedious for…

  11. Currently when an availability block is created, you can only block a space category overall. What would be beneficial to see an accurate ADR forecast/OTB for the future, is to be able to block rooms based on single or double occupancy.

    For example, we block 8 rooms Standard as Single Occ. and 2 rooms Standard as Double Occ. with 2 different rates, so the ADR is calculated correctly. Currently it is only based on one rate and then adjusts once picked up based on occupancy adjustments, but for forecasting this is no use.

  12. We would really appreciate having the option for parking to be automatically marked as “checked-in” once the guest checks into their room and also automatically adding the parking booked on the bill to the timeline of Parking Service.

    Currently, having to switch between services to manually check in the parking is inconvenient and time-consuming, especially during busy check-in times. Automating this step would greatly improve front desk efficiency.

    Additionally, it would be very helpful to have a “parking” icon displayed in the guest profile, so we can quickly see who has a parking spot.

    It would also be useful to…

  15. Hinsichtlich verschiedener Mehrwertsteuersätze sollte es möglich sein, 1 "Oberprodukt" aus mehreren "Unterprodukten" zusammensetzen zu können, da sonst alles einzeln manuell gebucht werden müsste, wenn man keine gesonderte Paketrate dazu erstellt. Beim Online-Check in ist bei einer erneuten Mehrwertsteueränderung keine nachträgliche z.B. Frühstücksbuchung bei Room Only Raten möglich.

  16. We need the possibility to create a deposit on an availability block even if there is no reservation been picked up yet from the block.
    Often groups pay already a deposit but do not know the amount of reservations that need to be picked up, yet that deposit still needs to be posted somewhere.

  17. We often have groups staying on the basis of bed & breakfast for the first night and a package deal from the second night onwards.

    We would like to be able to indicate in one reservation cq room, per night, which rate or rate group should be used. So not the PRICE, but actually select a specific rate type.

    Now we have to make two separate reservations, which is very confusing for our Housekeeping and Front Office.

  18. The idea of implementing different guarantees for room reservations is an excellent way to create clarity and organization within the team. Here’s a brief explanation of each proposal, which can help with implementation:

    Credit Card (CC): This option provides assurance that the guest is serious about their reservation. The team can easily verify that the credit card is valid and that there is sufficient credit available.

    Deposit (DEP): A deposit ensures that guests commit to their reservation. This can also help reduce no-shows and offers financial protection for the hotel.

    No Guarantee (NON): It's important to offer a no-guarantee option…

  19. When using digital solutions and integrations, accurate timing is crucial.

    In Mews, the selected arrival time does not always match the exact check-in time when using automated check-in. Sometimes, there can be an additional delay of up to 10 minutes before the reservation is fully checked in, causing issues—for instance, when promising guests "check-in at 3 PM" and having an automated flow dependent on the exact check-in time.

    By implementing an option like "Start check-in X minutes before arrival time," each property could individually accommodate this delay, significantly improving the guest experience.

  20. It would be great if the feature for creating reservations directly in the timeline could be made optional and turned on or off in the settings. While this feature has been well received from many of our staff, it is often triggered unintentionally when navigating through the timeline. The possibility to turn it on or off would help our staff by allowing them to customize the handling of the timeline to their preferences.
