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. As a property with a car park for which a permit must be issued by our Front Desk, a permit which must be validated in a third-party application with no integration to Mews, we capture Guests' vehicle license plate numbers for Guests purchasing a parking permit in advance in a mini app created for the requesting of parking permits.

    Currently, the plate number can only be exported by AKIA through the mini app data capture to the Notes field of the Guest's primary reservation. Since the Notes fields on the Properties tab are all merged into one string of data…

  2. Some hotels (like ours) want to exclude the sauna area from the room rate. As a result, not all guests checking in will have access to the sauna area on their room key card but only selected guests, that booked this service.

    Currently we can choose with AssaAbloy/Vingcard only categories with different accesses but can only choose for all or none if sauna is included or excluded when creating a room key. Same for separate areas like the E-Bike garage.

    For the future it would be absolutely stunning if the system includes products within a reservation when creating a rooms…

  4. For marketing purposes, it would be helpful to be able to isolate package or special offer rate plans that are PUBLIC so they can be shared with booking links directly. the Vouchers set up only works on PRIVATE rates, but we want to be able to share direct links to our packages and special offers - and currently we cannot, though many other brands and booking engines can do so.

  5. It is very hard to read the calendar on the month view, then on the week view it is a bit too zoomed in. It would be perfect to have about 3 weeks fully viewable on the calendar in a new view setting.

  6. Nous souhaitons mettre en place une configuration concernant la caution pour les serviettes de piscine.

    Notre souhait est que la caution soit facturée automatiquement le dernier jour du séjour du client.

    Plus précisément, nous souhaiterions que :
    1. la facture soit créée uniquement le dernier jour du séjour ;
    2. le produit « Serviette piscine » soit ajouté et facturé à cette même date ;
    3. la facture ne soit pas créée dès l’enregistrement de la réservation, avec simplement une date de consommation programmée au dernier jour du séjour.

    En d’autres termes, nous souhaitons que la facture et la ligne…

  7. When searching for a specific room number on the timeline, the room categories disappear, which makes reallocating guests much more difficult.

    It would be very helpful if the room categories remained visible even when searching for an exact room number.

  8. With AR enabled and payment links enabled for AR, a task appears anytime the AR payment link expires.
    This task is unnecessary as you cannot extend or resend the invoice with a new paylink.
    Payment link expiry tasks do not assign to a department, AR tracking is done within the City Ledger, so the task is not useful as a reminder and just creates extra work for all team members to close down the task.

    We would like to leave the payment links active but disable the expiry task.

  9. If working with several properties within Mews it is very difficult to understand which property you are on - only in Search field you see the property. Would be valuable to be able to customize the color of the top ribbon to be able to quickly identify what property you are on.

  10. Requested Enhancement Suggestions

    Refund Amount Limits by Role

    Configure maximum refund values per user role.
    Example:
    Front Desk Agent: up to €50
    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. It would be really helpful, if the number of guests per room would be visible directly within the timeline. Seems to be working just fine, once the guests are checked out. Why can`t it be visible already when creating the booking?

  13. Age-based pricing for credits

    Currently, Mews credits can be used to automatically deduct amounts when integrated with a POS system such as Lightspeed. However, it is not possible to assign different credit values based on the guest's age category (adult, child or infant).

    For example, if breakfast is priced at €27 for an adult and €17 for a child, Mews cannot allocate the corresponding amount to each guest. Instead, it applies an average value — for example, 2 × €22.

    Although the POS system sends the correct price for each guest, Mews still considers the unused portion of the credit…

  14. Would be great if the email to the booker of the room could be automatically or preselected in the recipent email in payment links. Insteaf of having to copy and paste it every time. Like when you send bills, you can choose between the booker or the guest as recipient. This we want for payment links aswell.

  15. Under “external card payments,” there is an option to select an “unspecified” card. This should be offered as an optional choice for each property. In our chain, we will never use this option, and it only leads to errors on the part of our employees.

  16. Our check-out time for guests is currently set at 11:00.

    This means that MEWS will shift our Reservation overview from 'Departing' guests to 'Arriving' guests at 11:00 as well.

    Usually this is around the same time when most of our rooms are at the front desk checking out.

    Let us change this time internally, without changing the guests check-out time.

  18. We would like to see an option to automatically lock a user session after a configurable period of inactivity (for example, 15 minutes).

    In hotel operations, it is common for multiple employees to use the same workstation throughout the day. When a user remains logged in after stepping away, the next employee may continue working under the previous user's account without realizing it.

    An automatic lockout feature would provide several benefits:

    Improved security and protection of guest data.
    Better accountability and audit trails.
    More accurate tracking of who performed specific actions in the system.
    Reduced risk of unauthorized changes being…

  19. In previous system i could sort task by roomnumber.
    Some times we manage to put more task that is the exact same on the same roomnumber. so when a person go and fix ex. a broken door, they solve the task. but its still another task laying there with same fault.
    Its not easy for techincal department to see if there is more task on one room that is the same.

  20. This is a bit ridiculous but there is no way in Mews to see an occupancy of inventory.
    We have several service types and some of our inventory rooms have double use - they can bee booked by Service 1 or Service 2. Lets say we have 100 Rooms. all 100 are connected to Service 1, and 20 are also connected to Service 2. If on a given day i have 50 rooms booked in Service 1 and 10 rooms in Service 2, i would expect Mews to provide Occupancy of 60% (60 rooms out of 100 room inventory). Instead,…
