Preview on Reservation Modifications
One important area for future improvement is the reservation amendment process. Currently, when modifying an existing reservation, such as changing dates, room type, or number of guests, there is no option to preview the updated rate or any supplemental charges before saving the changes. Staff must first apply the amendment in order to view the new pricing and communicate it to the guest. This creates operational challenges, as there is no reliable way to revert the reservation back to its original details and rates if the guest declines the updated pricing. For example, MEWS currently allows additional nights to be…

Request Arrival Time
The reservation form needs a prompt to allow the guest to indicate their desired arrival time. As a small property, managing our staff is very important. If a guest isn't arriving until 11pm, we need to know that ahead of time. There should be a mechanism displaying the default arrival time and allowing the guest the option to adjust it. Having a guest arrive at 3pm versus 9pm makes a big difference for staffing and housekeeping.

Permit Restriction Names
My restrictions list is very long- different rooms have different restrictions and I have to create a restriction for every single holiday when I want a different nightly booking minimum (e.g. 2 nights or 3 nights). When looking at the long list, it would be A LOT faster for me to know why I created a specific restriction if you would allow me to name it myself. For example, my restriction for 5/22-5/25 that requires a 3 night stay, I could name "Memorial Day" instead of having to figure out from the dates why I created that specific restriction.

Verfügbarkeit
Wenn man über das Plus Zeichen eine neue Reservierung eingeben möchte, dann sieht man unten alle Kategorien und alle Raten.
Wenn ich nun die Kategorien nach unten scrollen muss, um zB die Verfügbarkeit der Kategorie 9 zu sehen, dann sehe ich zwar die Raten, aber die Namen der Raten nicht mehr. Ich muss mir also merken, welche Rate an erster Stelle steht?Ich wünsche mir, dass der Balken der Ratennamen mit nach unten fährt.

Notifications panel improvements
Hi Mews team,
I would like to suggest an improvement for the Notifications panel in Mews Operations.
We use notifications every day during our night shifts to check all reservations created during the day. The current notification panel becomes very difficult to work with when there are many notifications (for example, 99+).
At the moment:
- Notifications can only be viewed in a small pop-up window.
- The window cannot be resized or opened in a separate tab/page.
- There are no filtering options (e.g. by date or notification type).
- When I open a notification, the panel closes automatically and I have to…

Validate Child Room Continuous Room Availability Before Confirming Bookings
When a booking is made on a space type that shares units across multiple parent spaces (e.g., room type "Deluxe Room" spread across Villa A, Villa B, Villa C), Mews should validate whether the full duration of the stay can be accommodated in a single unit — not just whether the stay can be distributed across units within the same space type.
Current behaviour: Mews confirms availability if the stay can be "Tetris-fitted" across multiple units within the same space type, even if that requires a mid-stay room move. This can occur when some units are blocked or privatized for…

Reservation overview
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

Add an "Early Arrival" / "Arrived" Guest Status
Currently, guests can only be marked as Checked In once their room is ready. There is no way to indicate that a guest has already arrived at the hotel and is waiting for their room.
It would be useful to add an "Arrived" or "Early Arrival" status that can be selected before check-in. This would give front desk teams a clear overview of which guests are already on property, help prioritize room readiness, improve communication between departments, and provide more accurate arrival data without affecting the check-in process.

Get notified when a guest cancels a reservation
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)1 vote -
Verstuur hotel melding bij annulering
Graag weer een e-mail of melding laten versturen aan gebruikers/hotelreceptie wanneer een reservering geannuleerd is. Gasten kunnen nu zelf reserveringen annuleren, maar we krijgen er geen melding van. Waardoor extra geboekte zaken (zoals tafelreservering, massages etc.) niet bekend zijn dat deze ook geannuleerd moeten worden. Dank!

Cancel bookable service together with room reservation
Besides the stay service we work with parking and bicycles. For example if the guests books a room including car park, the parking spot will be added as a "parking" service and gets assigned a unique reservation number.
The problem that occurs now is that the room and parking are not linked together; meaning that when the room gets cancelled or amended, the parking spot will stay as it is and will need to be cancelled or amended manually.
We are looking for a way to link the two types of spaces together.

Spanish DNI not recognized in online check-in
online check-in is not recognizing Spanish DNIs as Spanish documents: the "Country of issue" field stays blank, causing the support number to be wrongly loaded into the "Document number" field.
Workaround required for every check-in: manually select Spain as country of issue, delete the wrong number from the document field, then manually enter both the support number and DNI number in their correct fields.1 vote -
Timeline improvements: colors, OTA icons, guest count & payment status
Hello everyone,
We would like to suggest a few improvements to the timeline in Mews that could significantly enhance usability:
Better color customization
The current grey shades are very similar and hard to distinguish. More contrast or customizable colors would improve readability.OTA/source icons on reservations
Adding icons (Booking.com, Expedia, Direct, etc.) would make it much easier to instantly identify the booking source.Guest count visible on timeline
Showing the number of guests directly on each reservation would greatly help with quick planning and overview.Payment status indicator
An icon to show whether a reservation is paid or still pending…3 votes -
Allow properties to define a daily cut-off time for same-day reservations
Allow properties to define a daily cut-off time for same-day reservations
Many properties using Mews do not operate a 24/7 reception. Our guesthouse, for example, accepts check-ins only until 10:00 PM, yet Mews continues to allow guests to make same-day reservations until midnight.
At the moment, the only automated solution is to use Zapier with webhooks. Zapier is an excellent product, and I understand why Mews offers this integration. However, many properties only need this one simple function. It is difficult to justify purchasing an additional automation platform—sometimes together with a higher Mews subscription—just to stop same-day bookings after a…

Manual added items should follow product timing setting
We would like to suggest an improvement to how products are added manually in Mews.
When a product is configured with timing: "reservation end", this should also apply when the product is added manually under the booking --> "Items".
Currently, manually added products default to the arrival date, which requires manual correction every time.
This would be especially useful for products such as:
- Extra cleaning after pets
- Pickup of additional items (e.g. linen, towels, baby chair, etc.)
These types of products should always be posted at the end of the stay, as the service is performed after departure.

Timeline: Introducing Colour-Coding for Key Booking Insights
Dear MEWS Team,
I would like to share a suggestion regarding the Timeline view, which has a huge yet unexpressed potential.
While visually clean, it does not leverage one of the most powerful tools for operational efficiency: colour-coding.
Color can instantly convey information that, otherwise, requires opening each booking or navigating multiple sections. Introducing colour indicators directly on the Timeline could transform it into a true operational dashboard, providing immediate, high-impact insights for the front office and reservations teams.
Here are some examples of what colour-coding could highlight:
• Payment Status (e.g., prepaid, pending, partially paid, failed)
• Booking Source…5 votes -
Labelling of guests
It would be great if we could label the bookings individually and make sure that this is everywhere visible.
Example: Speakers from the seminar
We make do with the top management classification in the guest profile, but even this is not obvious everywhere.
I expect to see this information in the booking overview of a group, for example, without having to expand the reservation. And it must be visible in the timeline.
In addition, this is a classification that does not belong to the guest profile, but to the individual room reservation. After all, the speaker could arrive later as…21 votes -

Guest communication for multi- room bookings
We are an unstaffed property, so any gap in guest communication is a real concern.
Lately we noticed issues around multi-room bookings and messages that are sent out along.
In the setup as is, Mews sends a single confirmation for the group rather than one per reservation — which is why the guest only sees confirmation details for one of the rooms, so they cannot manage to check in without assistance.Suggestion: Review the setup of mail templates in "Guest Experience", making sure that every single booking receives all the details neccesary for check-in, even if they are part of…
