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. When a guest books on the booking engine, including a dropdown to select how they heard about our property, so we can accurately track where guests hear about us.

  2. It would be really useful if Mews recorded and displayed the name of the user that created notes when reservation and guest notes are used. E.g. if user A adds a note to a reservation saying "Please upgrade if possible", user B can see that user A created that note.

  3. Double room supplement
    It is recommended that the double room supplement is shown separately from the single price on the invoice. This is particularly advantageous for business travellers who are travelling with a companion and require a separate invoice.

    Doppelzimmerzuschlag
    Es wird empfohlen, den Doppelzimmerzuschlag separat vom Einzelpreis auf der Rechnung darzustellen. Dies ist insbesondere für Geschäftsreisende vorteilhaft, die in Begleitung anreisen und eine separate Rechnung benötigen.

  4. The report is functionally comprehensive but prioritizes data completeness over usability. Customers often struggle with it because the report is designed as a data export rather than a management report. The concerns are poor readability, no executive summary, and too much detail by default.

    Some improvement requests:

    • Users are presented with 16 tabs and more than 100 daily columns per sheet, making key operational insights difficult to identify.

    • Consider introducing a summary dashboard with occupancy, availability, arrivals, departures, ADR, and exception metrics, while moving room-level detail to secondary drill-down tabs.

    • This would significantly improve readability and reduce the perception that…

  6. Mobile amenities that are not part of the standard room equipment (e.g., extra beds, baby cots, diaper bins, children's stools, coffee/tea service, bathrobes) should be able to be managed centrally in Mews. Currently, mobile, limited-availability amenities cannot be centrally represented in Mews. Hotels are forced to work with external lists or manual coordination to track availability and usage. This leads to a lack of transparency regarding availability, double bookings, increased coordination efforts between reception and housekeeping, and potential guest dissatisfaction. We would like the ability to create mobile amenities centrally in Mews, manage them with a limited quantity, assign them…

  7. Our operations and guest experience would be so much smoother if tasks were automatically assigned to a specified department when a product is added! Product options currently only automatically assign tasks if a product is added during online check-in. This should be an option when a product is added during any step of the guest journey - either by the guest or by the reservations specialist.

  8. The Mews Booking Engine should allow properties to require guests to enter the exact age of each child included in a reservation.

    Simply asking for the number of children is often not sufficient, as a child’s age can affect:

    Room occupancy and maximum capacity
    Availability of suitable beds or cots
    Pricing and child discounts
    Breakfast charges
    Which room types can accommodate the family

    Collecting the exact ages during the booking process would help properties offer the correct room and price from the beginning. It would also reduce the need to contact guests afterwards for additional information and help prevent bookings…

  12. First of all there should be a Fire Attention tick box (ideally a tick box which is Quick or a note field where you can insert a comment like Wheelchair, Pet etc) in the Reservation screen.

    This information should then come up in a report called Fire Report (or similar) which should be a 1 click print button in Mews like the Timeline, New Reservation button which is QUICK and EASY to print in case of emergencies. Important information on this report: Sorted by room number with the following information: Room, Last and first name and how many people and…

  13. Summary: Add the ability to schedule a room move before check-in within a single reservation. This would support a planned “réservation en escalier” without requiring the property to create multiple consecutive reservations for the same guest.

    Problem: When a property already knows before arrival that a guest must change rooms during the stay, the current workaround is to create separate reservations for each room period. For example, a three-room itinerary may require three linked reservations. This creates unnecessary administrative work and increases the risk of:
    - Fragmented guest and reservation records
    - Manual handovers between reservations
    - Confusion for front-office…

  14. In Reservation overview if you want to look another date, you must click DATE, then SEE REPORT.
    Just adding 2 ARROW´S BUTONS would be such a good improvment to navigate forward or backwards. Faster search, less clicks, no choosing dates. Simple
    --> Tomorrow Overview
    <-- Yesterday Overview

  15. When the hotel is fullbooked it would be good to have somewhere to put in guest info to a guest that wants to stay a particular date that currently full so it automatical shows in the desktop thats a room have been canceled and a guest from waitlist can be contact.

  17. Problem Statement

    Currently, Mews allows users to search and report on reservations using the Voucher Name. However, a single voucher name can be associated with multiple voucher codes throughout a season or campaign. While the voucher name is available in reservation reporting, the specific voucher code used to redeem the reservation is not visible on the reservation or in standard reservation reports.

    This makes it difficult for properties to accurately track voucher redemption performance and analyze the usage of individual voucher campaigns.

    Requested Enhancement

    Add the redeemed Voucher Code as a field that:

    • Is visible on the reservation details.
    • Can…

  18. 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)

  19. After the recent update, the Reservation page feels more cluttered when displaying restricted rates. Previously, only the text “Restricted” was shown, which made it clear and easy to distinguish these rates.

    Now that both the price and the “Restricted” label are displayed, it’s less clear. We would prefer the previous layout, as it was cleaner and easier to work with.

  20. Other PMS that we have used support the creation of custom fields. These could be short/long text, lists (single/multiple select, radio buttons), checkboxes, etc... This is particularly relevant for API connections, for other systems to be able to read/write data rather than needing a parallel table elsewhere. Examples include access systems with codes (yes there's a table in the back-end of Mews but it's not viewable at reservation level), screening systems (e.g. has guest been verified), etc... I'm really surprised that Mews doesn't supply this functionality in 2026...
