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. 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.

  2. 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…

  5. 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…

  6. We would like to add the feature where the classification of a guest is also visible in the product checklist. When we have a VIP or Important guest, and they come for breakfast, we want to see this directly in the checklist. This way we can give them a different treatment than other guests.

  7. I would like OTA-delivered Special Requests (stored in the reservation Properties tab) to be visible in reservation reports and in the Arrivals preview, so staff don’t miss guest-specific details. This is counter intuitive to the highly personalized service we strive for.

  8. It would be nice to have the share reservation option.
    It means that, if we have 2 reservations in 2 different spaces - in case the hotel has big suites or villas and the guest request to upgrade the orginal room to one of the biggest and eventually share the same one, it would be nice to combine this two reservations in one space in order to free the others which will remain empty with the possibility to resell it

  10. I would like a confirmation for packages without mentioning all products from the reservation. These products are set as “Bill as package” anyway and are not shown separately on the guest's bill either. Just mentioning the rate name and total amount on the confirmation would be sufficient. Perhaps with the extension of the textual content of the package.

  12. Would it be difficult to add a number of nights the reservation is for to the reservation report view? This would help tremendously. Currently it is very difficult to find the amount of nights the guest has booked in PMS without creating a report - only in Reservation preview from Reservations overview. Otherwise not anywhere in the Reservation properties. It would help choosing appropriate reservations for upgrading when necessary to make available a room category, or to control that room rate is producing correct LOS (controlling the restrictions), or controling that correct products have been added depending on the Length…

  13. We really appreciate if there will be possibility to specify age categories to two decimal places (e.g. babies 0-2.99, childrens 3-11.99). These logic is used by lots of OTA´s and we would like to set up our WBE by the same principal to be able to offer the same prices to our guest.

  14. Currently, the cancellation tag in the MEWS booking engine is not flexible enough.

    The logic is fixed on the system side:

    Cancellation on the day of arrival = automatically 2:00 p.m. or defined check-in time.

    Cancellation X days before arrival = automatically 12:00 a.m.

    Individual cancellation times cannot be displayed. Rates such as “cancellable until 6:00 p.m. on the day of arrival” or “14 days before arrival until 2:00 p.m.” cannot be displayed correctly.

    A manual adjustment of the time per rate in the cancellation tag would be necessary in order to display the cancellation conditions correctly and transparently.

  16. The old layout of the 'reservation report' is much easier to read and much more user friendly. Especially the section containing notes. In order to see them clearly you have to hover over them, which is time consuming and frustrating for the user. The zoom out function is available but I feel this causes potential to miss vital pieces of information. A lot of important details are noted in this section and I feel it is imperative that we can see easily and clearly the words written in this section. The rest of the report is actually very clear -…

  19. On occasions when a Guest with an OTA room reservation has no charges throughout their stay (yet), but incurs a charge during or after their stay in a post-departure billing scenario, I have found that following the roll-out of billing automation, the ability to open a new bill owned by the Guest is not available on the billing screen.

    Instead, a new bill can only be opened that is owned by the OTA and must be manually changed to be owned by the Guest, and association with the OTA must be removed.

    I opened case 00628498 with live examples and…

  20. Currently, the system allows a "Confirmed" block to be released unless the "Do not release" toggle is manually selected. This redundancy creates a high risk of manual error, which has recently resulted in an accidental overbooking.

    Suppose when we click "Confirmed", it's confirmed and the block should automatically change to "Do not release". Otherwise, it makes the process more complicated and increases the chance of errors.
