Search for overbookings
Easier search of the overbookings.
503 votesHey Mewsers,
Good News! It is my pleasure to announce we have started a Beta of an improvement to our search bar that will allow users, among many things, to easily find the unassigned reservations that are causing the infamous red line on the timeline!
If this is a common need, you can even save this search as a favorite (with the star icon on the search bar) and avoid having to type it!
If you would like to take part of the Beta, please join the conversation via the Community post here.
Yours,

Extended action log
With extending action log, you will be able to see more information about changes that have been made in your property.
389 votesHi there Mewsers!
You’ve asked and we’ve listened.
We upgraded the action log to make it more detailed and easier to use.
Below are some of the additional details that we’ve added.
Before, when a reservation moved to a different room, you couldn’t see which room it was in originally—now you’ll always see exactly how the reservation looked before and after each change.
We’ve enhanced updates for products. You’ll now be able trace for example, the additions of order items as well as the price adjustments made to your products.
And finally on the pricing side, no need for a calculator! You can now monitor and report on changes to prices with the both net and gross values, as well as the affects the changes you’ve made have on taxes.
We will continue working on updates to the action log for different sections of the system. Stay tuned for more!

Rate Mixing
The system should be able to propose the cheapest rate possible to our guests (like booking.com does). Mixing the rates to offer the best deal is a guarantee to compete better against booking.com. Not mixing the rates allows booking.com to steal bookings from us. Exemple: you activate a Last Minute deal on the next 48h. A guest want to arrive today and stay for 3 days. On booking.com, he will see a rate mixed from the last minute rate (for the 2 first nights) and from another rate for the 3d night. On our booking engine, you will see either…

Ability to Book a Reservation by Overriding Restrictions by Management
When using Mews to book a reservation, there are times a manager needs to have the ability to override the restrictions and "Force-Sell" a room. Example the property may have a 2 night minimum, but wants to book a VIP for 1 night only. The process now is to remove the restriction, book the reservation and put the restriction back on which exposes availability. Better to have a NS (Normal Sell using restrictions) and FS (Force-Sell with overrides restrictions) for Management use only.

Requesting the ability to enter selling limits based on variables defined by the hotel.
For example:
Rate Code + Space category + Number of rooms
Once number of rooms has been sold for X category with X rate, close ability to sell more151 votesHi reader,

Routing Rules - improvements
The routing rules allows us to route the following options;
1 - Only reservations that are prepaid in online travel agency (OTA)
2 - All reservations with this company or travel agency attachedrecommended improvement #1
we noticed that option 1 does not route prepaid reservations by VC.
As Bcom does indicate its a VC instead of a prepaid to TA. We cannot apply routing to this TA. As they do not have separate TA profiles for VC and CC as Expedia has, we currently cannot distinguish which ones should be routed.Recommended improvement #2
As multiple company profiles might…

Resources (parking lots, meeting rooms, co-working spaces and others) can be offered through multiple services
A hotel is not just rooms and beds. There are many resources in each hotel. There can be co-working spaces, parking lots, conference rooms, kitchens, sport courts, bikes or boats, sports equipment etc. (the list could be literally endless) and we want to manage them in the system and offer them to the guests just like we offer rooms and beds today. It would allow us to boost the non-accommodation revenue and diversify the hotel's business.
76 votesDear Mews Customers,
I have a fresh update from our development.
Solution for parking, office and meeting room management has been live and helping hundreds of Mews customers diversify their revenues for quite some time.
With the recent release of hourly reservations (details here https://releases.mews.com/en/introducing-hourly-services-to-maximize-your-revenue-PuFPZIwq), we are making it even easier to manage these services.
In the coming months, the team will be focusing on improvements for long stays (pro-rata, precise reporting, flexible products & housekeeping intervals etc.)
If you wish to start using some of the new bookable services, please, reach out to your Customer success representative or follow this step-by-step guide https://help.mews.com/s/article/create-new-bookable-services.
Kind regards,

Reservation (Booking) number in Accounting Report
To add a column in multiple Reports (manly Accounting Report) with the Reservation number of the guest (Booking number). This could be used as a Primary Key to connect the different reports.
This could help us merging reports like Accounting Report and Reservation Report that right now are used for multiple tasks and requires hours of manually work from Finance and Operations teams.
The name of the guest can change before/after the check-in. So, name of the guest is not working good for merging reports.
59 votesHi, we are currently working on ability to link both payments and charges (including additional products) to the reservation, and that reservation number will be populated in the Accounting report.

Automatically move the charges to company account (paymaster)
We need that in a reservation from an specific travel agency all its charges automatically goes to the company bill (or the paymaster of this company), so the balance in the guest account is 0. Some travel agencies charges themselves to the guest and manually we have to move the charges to the company bill or the paymaster of this company, so it does not allow to work with properties with reduced staff and automatic kiosk check-in (as the balance of the guest will not be 0, but the the guest has already payed to the travel agency)
47 votesWe’re building a feature that lets you automatically redirect products from guest bills to company bills. This will not support routing to a paymaster profile yet, but it may already help you.

Different Email Templates
At the moment Mews only has a template when you send an invoice that thanks the guest for their stay, however the same are sent as reminder which then often get ignored by debtors.
The option to create more standard emails, to create for example a different template for reminders of invoices would be a useful tool to improve the management from within Mews.

Automatically route company invoice to paymaster
When an invoice is issues via mews, we still have to move the receivable manually to a paymaster. It would be great if a paymaster could be linked to a company, so all invoices are moved automatically and thus avoid unnecessary actions.

Remove rights to optimize space allocation
We would like to be able to change the optimize space allocation function in Timeline so that you can assign it as a Permission under roles.
So not everyone has rights to use this feature.35 votes -
Ageing / Debtors Report for Accounting Ledger
Using the accounting ledger, accountants can view any outstanding bills or payments that must be collected. However, as these are connected to guest profiles, this does not help to identify debts for company or travel agencies, which are not as easily available in Mews. By adding an additional mode to our accounting ledger, you could easily view all outstanding invoices sorted by the company to which it was issued. Additionally, this would show how long each payment has been overdue and how much each company owes.

Availability Blocks - Master & Sub-blocks
Being able to create Master and sub-blocks within availability blocks. Scenario: Conference blocks - representatives from different companies/company entities attending which need to be billed separately.
11 votesHello Mewsers,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are happy to inform you that we are currently beta testing this new functionality, themed "multi-group blocks".
Multi-group blocks
Multi-group blocks will enable you to create multiple groups with up to 750 reservations each in a single block. This means that you will no longer have to create multiple blocks for large groups which is typically of blocks created for up 1 year for travel agency contracts. They can now all be automatically linked to a single block, effectively giving you 2 types of blocks 1) Single group blocks and 2) multi-group blocks.
Multi-group blocks are a prerequisite to activating rolling release dates, as they prepare your property for handling large groups. You can learn more about the features that will be made available to beta testers in the recording linked below:

Get more power and involvement from other hotels for new ideas
I see a lot of cool ideas from all Mews customers, but it would be so nice if any hotel could comment on each idea.
If I put in a idea I need to wait a very long time for the voting process. What I would suggest, when a new idea is written by a hotel, is that Mews sends a message or emails to all its hotels (divided over several days to prevent spam emails). I am not looking at the new ideas a lot, because I am too busy with other things. If I would be notified I…9 votesHello from the Mews Product Team. Thanks very much for your feedback on our portal. This is a great suggestion. As you mentioned, we don't yet send e-mails for every idea posted as it can get overwhelming. However, we are happy to take this into consideration and will look into finding the right way to keep all of our customers informed.
