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. Would like to recieve an email or task or notification (or a choice of notification) when a guest cancels their accommodation booking.
    This is so we can reach out and confirm as well as ask why(for tracking purposes) as well as refund their deposit, rather that the guest having to reach out to us first (for guest experience)

  2. Graag weer een e-mail of melding laten versturen aan gebruikers/hotelreceptie wanneer een reservering geannuleerd is. Gasten kunnen nu zelf reserveringen annuleren, maar we krijgen er geen melding van. Waardoor extra geboekte zaken (zoals tafelreservering, massages etc.) niet bekend zijn dat deze ook geannuleerd moeten worden. Dank!

  3. The system displayed a generic error message:

    "Oops, something went wrong."

    The message suggested a system or application failure, even though the underlying issue was not a platform error.

    Impact
    - Users are unable to determine the actual reason for the failure.
    - The generic message leads users to believe there is a platform issue, resulting in unnecessary troubleshooting efforts.
    - Additional support interactions may be required to identify what is actually a permissions-related issue.
    - Creates confusion and reduces confidence in the product experience.

  4. We want the default times for internal use of the accommodations to be set to the same times as our check-in and check-out times:

    Currently, the accommodation blocks for internal use are set from 12:00 to 12:00.

  5. When editing restrictions in the calendar, there are currently a few points that make daily work more difficult.

    When I edit and save a single restriction, the view always jumps back to the list view afterward. This is inconvenient because I then have to switch back to the calendar and find the relevant section again.

    It is also difficult to check the dates in the calendar, especially when working with multiple rate groups and room categories. The date bar disappears when scrolling because it is not sticky. As a result, it is easy to lose track of which dates the…

  6. 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?

  7. 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…

  8. 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…

  9. 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…

  10. 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,…

  11. Currently, the report always resets to the “Deadline” date filter, requiring users to manually switch it (often to “Created”) every time they open it.

    The proposed enhancement is to let users:

    Save their preferred filter settings (especially date filter like “Created”)
    Have filters persist after refresh or reopening the report
    Optionally set a default view at user or property level

    This would reduce repetitive manual adjustments and improve daily operational efficiency for teams that rely on a non-default task view.

  12. Currently:

    • The original invoice retains the removed item with no visible indication of correction
    • The correction is generated as a separate invoice with a new number -The only traceability exists in: >Action logs >Item-level history

    However:

    • These sources are not part of official billing documents
    • They are not accessible to external stakeholders (e.g., auditors, accountants)
    • Users must perform manual investigation to reconcile documents

    Impact

    • Reduced transparency in billing documents Increased effort in reconciliation and audit processes
    • Confusion for clients reviewing invoices Risk of perceived inconsistencies in financial records.

    Proposed Solution
    Introduce visible linkage and correction indicators at the document level,…

  13. Please keep the date selection the same either when creating or editing restrictions. Every single time I make a change it defaults back to the current date, I spend half my time scrolling through the calendar to go back to the original selection I had.

  14. Remove the current 1-year limit on the Reservation Report date range, allowing users to run reports across longer periods. This functionality was available in the old report and is needed to support more flexible historical and future analysis and reporting

  15. When a dropdown contains more options than can fit in the visible list, the user can scroll inside the dropdown to reach the remaining options. That works as expected.
    However, when all available options already fit inside the visible dropdown, scrolling while the dropdown is open closes the dropdown instead. This is easy to trigger accidentally, especially on a trackpad or mouse wheel.

  16. Problem:
    When we create a booking, we send the guest a payment request linked to the reservation. However, if the booking is later cancelled, the payment request remains active and must be cancelled manually.

    Solution:
    Automatically cancel linked payment requests when the related booking is cancelled.

  17. One important area for future improvement is the reservation amendment process. Currently, when modifying an existing reservation, such as changing dates, room type, or number of guests, there is no option to preview the updated rate or any supplemental charges before saving the changes. Staff must first apply the amendment in order to view the new pricing and communicate it to the guest. This creates operational challenges, as there is no reliable way to revert the reservation back to its original details and rates if the guest declines the updated pricing. For example, MEWS currently allows additional nights to be…

  18. My restrictions list is very long- different rooms have different restrictions and I have to create a restriction for every single holiday when I want a different nightly booking minimum (e.g. 2 nights or 3 nights). When looking at the long list, it would be A LOT faster for me to know why I created a specific restriction if you would allow me to name it myself. For example, my restriction for 5/22-5/25 that requires a 3 night stay, I could name "Memorial Day" instead of having to figure out from the dates why I created that specific restriction.

  19. We use a demo environment for training and development. Multiple demo users are not possible (we tried, but it did not work).

    So we end up with one admin user account. Admin accounts are now required to use passkeys, but these are hard to share without an extensive password infrastructure.

  20. Wenn man über das Plus Zeichen eine neue Reservierung eingeben möchte, dann sieht man unten alle Kategorien und alle Raten.
    Wenn ich nun die Kategorien nach unten scrollen muss, um zB die Verfügbarkeit der Kategorie 9 zu sehen, dann sehe ich zwar die Raten, aber die Namen der Raten nicht mehr. Ich muss mir also merken, welche Rate an erster Stelle steht?

    Ich wünsche mir, dass der Balken der Ratennamen mit nach unten fährt.
