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 great if there would be the option to add 'House use' on a recurring basis. (For example to block one room for a weekend each month, to make sure to have availability for VIP guests etc).

  3. Dear Mews Support,
    I would like to suggest the following set-up, as major PMS systems uses.
    This is more financial point of view within Mews system, so just to give you an idea how it should work, I can explain the following:
    Financial Process: Upon arranging contracts for travel agencies or companies we are following these steps as standard (Off line)
    1. Mutual signed contract agreement between the property and the Travel agency or company.
    2. Approve the credit application form for companies or travel agencies, and depending on the credit checks; we can grant the relevant credit to open…

  4. I would like to see how long it takes my reception staff to do a check in. If the activity log showed the time from a reservation opened to the time they check it in.

  7. The idea has been already verified in other areas, such as airlines or cruises. All rates would be non-refunduble by default. On top of each rate, the guest could purchase an additional product (something like an “insurance”) that would make the rate refundable; however, the “insurance” itself would not be refundable.

    There could be more levels of “insurance” - e.g. “cancel up to 1 week prior to the arrival” and “cancel anytime”. The second option in this case should be obviously more pricey.

    Generally speaking, the price of the “insurance” should always cover the costs of maintaining the empty room…

  9. It would be really useful if Mews recorded and displayed the name of the user that created notes when reservation and guest notes are used. E.g. if user A adds a note to a reservation saying "Please upgrade if possible", user B can see that user A created that note.

  10. I would like to suggest an improvement to the Mews integration that could make the room management process more efficient.

    It would be extremely helpful if Mews could introduce a bulk selection option, allowing us to select multiple rooms and place them on HU (House Use) at the same time, while applying the same HU reason to all selected rooms. This would save considerable time when multiple rooms need to be placed on HU for the same reason.

    Similarly, it would be beneficial to have the option to remove HU from multiple rooms in bulk, rather than having to access…

  11. Requested Enhancement Suggestions

    Refund Amount Limits by Role

    Configure maximum refund values per user role.

    Example:
    Front Desk Agent/Trainee: up to €50-100
    Supervisor: up to €500
    Manager: unlimited

    Refund Approval Workflow

    • Refunds exceeding a configured threshold require approval from an authorized user.
    • Approval can be completed within Mews before funds are returned.

    Separate Refund Permission

    • Decouple refunds from other billing permissions (rebates, reissues, bill owner changes, etc.).
    • Allow customers to grant refund access without exposing unrelated financial actions.

    Optional Warning/Confirmation Controls

    • Alert users when attempting to refund the full payment amount.
    • Require an additional confirmation step for high-value refunds.

  12. The report is functionally comprehensive but prioritizes data completeness over usability. Customers often struggle with it because the report is designed as a data export rather than a management report. The concerns are poor readability, no executive summary, and too much detail by default.

    Some improvement requests:

    • Users are presented with 16 tabs and more than 100 daily columns per sheet, making key operational insights difficult to identify.

    • Consider introducing a summary dashboard with occupancy, availability, arrivals, departures, ADR, and exception metrics, while moving room-level detail to secondary drill-down tabs.

    • This would significantly improve readability and reduce the perception that…

  13. Currently, User Profile exports provide comprehensive user information, including user name, email, roles, properties, permissions, authentication settings, account status, creation date, and last login details. However, the export does not include the User Profile ID.

    We would like the User Profile ID to be added as a dedicated column in both:

    • Property-level User Exports
    • Multi-property / Portfolio-level User Exports

    Having access to the User Profile ID would significantly simplify:

    • User auditing and administration
    • API and integration troubleshooting
    • Cross-referencing users between exports, logs, and backend systems
    • Bulk management and reporting activities

    This enhancement would make bulk User exports more complete and

  14. 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…

  15. 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…

  16. 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,…

  17. 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…

  18. 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.

  20. Problem Statement

    Currently, Mews allows users to search and report on reservations using the Voucher Name. However, a single voucher name can be associated with multiple voucher codes throughout a season or campaign. While the voucher name is available in reservation reporting, the specific voucher code used to redeem the reservation is not visible on the reservation or in standard reservation reports.

    This makes it difficult for properties to accurately track voucher redemption performance and analyze the usage of individual voucher campaigns.

    Requested Enhancement

    Add the redeemed Voucher Code as a field that:

    • Is visible on the reservation details.
    • Can…
