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. I want the availability report to show not just the base room rate, but also the total price including products when a specific package is selected. Otherwise, it always displays the base rate from which the package price is derived, making the option to view all rates pointless.

  2. It would be helpful to be able to set up recurring restrictions. For instance, our property is closed 1-30 JUL every year. We also restrict many rates during our Festive Period 15 DEC-15 JAN. Rather than process these each year, it would be much more useful to be able to set it to reoccur every year (similar to a birthday in an Outlook calendar).

  3. ***Bookable Service Products are the only ones with Relative calculation possibility. It would be most useful to add this feature for the Additional Services as well.

  4. In the event of an early departure on which a reduced penalty has been allowed, it is currently not possible to adjust the lower penalty when the 'Apply Cancellation fee' box is selected, since that field only shows the related penalty charge.

    Can we have the option, from Mews Operations, to either apply the standard penalty charge, or, override it with a lower penalty instead? This will enable the automatic posting of the cancellation fee in a format that is compliant with the VAT exemption rule for Italian properties.

  5. The current product city tax functionality needs an urgent update to support a maximum night charge (e.g., up to 7 nights). Presently, the system applies the city tax to all reservation nights, requiring manual adjustments for exceeding nights. From a non-technical standpoint, this appears to be a configuration issue that could be easily resolved with a system enhancement. Resolving this is crucial, as manually adjusting the tax for each guest leads to significant problems: Guest Complaints: Incorrect charges directly impact guest satisfaction and generate unnecessary complaints. Finance Issues: Our finance department is burdened with processing refunds and rebates due to…

  6. For guests needing a company address on their invoice,but are paying for the stay themselves, the current set-up seeks to add the company profile as secondary profile after check-in, then take the payment at check-out, and then swap the two profiles on the invoice so that the company would be primary and the guest´s profile would be secondary/ linked profile. Therefore you need to find the right address again, which usually takes a couple of clicks. It would be much easier if there was way to simply swap the profiles by sliding or by having an option to swap with…

  8. Flexible blocks. If I want to extend a reservation that is connected to a block, I have to go back and add rooms to the block before I can extend the reservation. With blocks that have been released I have to add the rooms twice (???), because the block releases them immediately after I save my changes, which is extremely time consuming and frustrating

  9. When a reservation has met the conditions of a "No-show" automatically, there should be a sequence of events for Mews to automatically add (not only) the Cancellation Fee + Payment + balanced Bill Closure at the end.

  10. When you have a overbooking of a space category in the future, i.e. December, and you are creating an Availability Block on the a previous date, i.e. June, the overbooking reduces the availability of that space category in June as well. The availability calculation strategies diffusive or discrete, should have in consideration the actual dates of the booking in overbooking. To have the availability on the availability block we have to go to that future booking, and change the requested category to a higher space category and then go back to the availability block, so the real availability can be…

  11. When a reservation is modified (eg because the check out date is extended), the room can be locked. However when you are extending this reservation, it is quite possible that you already have a locked reservation blocking the room you are about to extend.

    MEWS does not warn you when you are extending the reservation if and when this is the case, hence your perhaps VIP on arrival is moved without anybody being informed.

  12. Bei der Booking Engine sollte für bestimmte Tarifgruppen die Möglichkeit bestehen, dass sie eine Buchung abschliessen können, ohne Angabe einer Kreditkarte. Gerade grössere Firmen mit Vertrag steigen mittlerweile auf Onlinebuchungen um, diese Kunden haben ein Bedürfnis, Reservationen schnell abwickeln zu können. Wenn vertraglich festgelegt ist, dass die Firma den Aufenthalt bezahlt, sollte es möglich sein, die Buchung ohne eine Garantie erstellen zu können.

  13. Bonjour!
    Nous avons beaucoup de compagnies qui chargent à leur compte client et qui paient à chaque mois. Je dois leur envoyer un état de compte à chaque fin de mois, mais présentement en exportant la balance des débiteurs, le visuel n'est pas professionnel et n'est pas à l'image de notre entreprise. J'ai dû créer un template Excel afin d'y copier les données. Avec Hotello, mes états de comptes étaient clairs et je pouvais les envoyer tels quels.
    Ma suggestion serait d'ajouter l'option d'une exportation en PDF par compagnie avec le logo de notre entreprise, et d'y ajouter les dates…

  14. Use case:
    We want to offer a last-minute rate in our web booking engine to increase and stimulate a last-minute pickup. This rate should ONLY display for dates that fall between a maximum advance period of 7 days.

    Existing restrictions can be set up to affect the arrival date, however cannot limit the departure date. (rate-specific)

    It would be useful to have this option within the restriction options.

    Work-around:
    To achieve the above scenario, is only possible using maximum advance and maximum length restrictions for each night individually. In our case we want to offer a last-minute rate maximum 7…

  15. Posting on behalf of Hazlitt's:

    Whenever we there is an event in the area (like London Pride) or we have some building work done, we send guests emails to warn them about this. We then use one of mews classifications to mark the guests that received the emails, so we know at a glance on timeline who knows and who doesn’t!

    We had a big building project last year, that overrun, and we ended up marking quite a lot of profiles. As we have another project starting soon, I wanted to clean the slate and remove all the classification we…

  17. The week snap shot is helpful. However, I would like our team to always know where occupancy is sitting for the current month. It would be great to have a coloured doughnut on MEW dashboard visible at all times.

  18. For hotels with the "receivable tracking" not enabled, It would be nice to consider removing the Overdue Label for past issued invoices in the Mews Search Bar. The label does not show anywhere other than the search bar.

    There is no way to act on it, but seeing it leaves the impression that the users must act on it.

  19. It is not currently possible in Mews to configure the system so that guest profiles automatically reflect any outstanding balance from their associated company profile—for example, by showing an alert or open amount in the guest profile whenever the company has unpaid invoices. There is no built-in, automated sync that shows company-level debts or outstanding balances at the guest profile level in the current version of Mews.
    Here are the main points:
    • Company profiles and guest profiles are distinct entities in Mews. When a guest is linked to a company (for instance, for billing purposes), the outstanding balances or…

  20. We are a small property, and thus our members have several different jobs. We would like some of our staff to be able to view customer info, or view the timeline, without necessarily having access to "creating or managing" customers and companies. Viewing the information (especially the ability to see the timeline) should be separate from the ability to add or modify anything
