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.

  2. To expand on the new Group Blocks feature, I would love a simple Group Block Agreement form/report that summarizes the number of rooms blocked, the dates associated with the rooms and the nightly (pre-tax) rooms rate.

    It would have a customizable "terms" section where we can note cancelation policies, block release date etc and have a signature page for the client to sign.

    Right now we have to generate this outside of Mews, which creates additional work. Happy to send you a sample of what we are looking for!

    Thanks for listening!

    Hello Stacy,

    Thank you very much for sharing your feedback with us. If you are able to share an example, that would be very helpful for us to understand the information you envision being added to a block.

    Which types of groups would you typically add "terms' for? For example corporates or leisure. 

  3. Enable assigning specific rooms to the group block. Properties should be able to block specific room numbers for the group so that the groups are staying close to each other.

  4. Add additional field to the availability block to communicate details on the booking link. Right now, guests with booking link cannot book pre and post dates. Guests using the link do not know that and get upset. If there was a field linked to the booking link, we could add a Welcome, specify block dates, and cut-off dates, along with who to contact to book outside of the block.

  6. Sometimes rooms are added to a group that do not appear to belong together, or an error occurs and a room is added to a group.

    It would be practical if you could remove rooms from a group. Currently, this is not possible.

  10. When creating a new Availability block for a Group, provide a checkmark toggle that allows for booking out of general availability, rather than creating day by day by space category blocks.
    - There are times we provide "rate offers" to groups without any specific room type commitment at all, ie. We'll provide a floating 20% discount on any room types we have available, up until a specific booking cut-off date. There are times we may also offer commission on the rooms that book.

    Voucher codes do not really work for us in these situations either, as they are not fenced…

  11. Request to increase the Reservation Group Size. The current reservation group size of 500 reservations is not sufficient and is creating operational issues for large-size Hotel Venues.

  12. it doesn't seem possible to move individual reservations from one group to another.
    for example if you have a recurring (annual) group and have by mistake added a booking to the previous year, you are not able to move just one reservation to the current year.
    merging groups is not an option, in this case.

  13. when you want to implement a namelist for a certain date. However that booking is a group booking with multiple dates. And even if you select only 1 date, all bookings will appear in the downloaded name list without order. Meaning that all dates are mixed up and then you also need to add 50+ names. It takes very long and it would be better if you can implement it per booking date.

    Same goes for confirmed and optional bookings. If you download the namelist both bookings are implemented in the namelist, You prefer only the ones selected - which…

  14. Occupancy overview in dashboard only 7 days ahead, while need is there to have similar overview for 14 days, this makes planning staff for Restaurants, Housekeeping much easier. If you click on Occupancy then the data comes out, completely different. The overview for 14 days, would be a great asset and make life easier.

  16. In the group overview, it would be very helpful if not only the rooms could be folded in, but also the different arrival days. There are definitely groups with staggered dates.

    Hello all,

    This status update is part of our ongoing work to simplify and streamline how our UserVoice feedback forum operates. We are reducing the number of statuses to two (Idea to Upvote + Released) to help manage expectations about where each idea stands and to minimize the number of status updates required from our product teams. Our product team reviews everything you share, and we might reach out for more info if we need it. 

    Thanks for your patience as we work to bring your ideas to life! You can learn more about the changes coming to UserVoice from this post in the Mews Community.

  17. Wanneer je de namenlijst downlaod met de nieuwe groepsfunctie (multiple reservations). Pakt die alle reserveringen in die profiel, dit is niet handig want voor groepen heb je wel is verschillende namen per reservering ( denk aan tourboekingen). Daarnaast als je de namenlijst downlaod staat alle datums door elkaar, dit is niet in te vullen op een normale manier. Alvast bedankt!

  18. Currently you can only extend the departure date of multiple reservations in a Group booking if the Arrival date / time match exactly for all selected reservations.

    i.e. when individuals arrive / check-in at different times in the day, we can then no longer bulk update the departure date for the group booking.

  19. it is very annoying that when you search and choose a group, one of the bookings is ticked. if it is a large group, you are not always able to see which one and need to scroll down to unclick it before you are able to make any chances to other bookings. waste of time and also huge potential to make mistakes

    Hello from the Mews product team,

    Thank you for your suggestion, we are currently investigating improvements in group handling, and the topic of a group booking ID has come up with a few properties. Would you be willing to share more information on your use case so that we can better understand the problems you encounter on a daily basis?
