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. At this time, one cannot add a reservation to a space without a Space Category assignment, therefore preventing the space from being used as a virtual dummy.

    **Early check-out before assigning the actual room
    Helps process:
    Pre-arrival cancellations
    Group block adjustments
    Test reservations sent from the channel manager

    **Holding reservations temporarily
    For:
    Fake/test OTA bookings
    Testing rate rules
    Reviewing tax setups
    Staging reservations before reassigning real rooms

  2. Seeing a marker on the timeline for reservations that are unpaid, have an open bill, or are carrying a balance would be a huge help for reservation teams. Even just a dot like Cloudbeds has.

  3. Would be very helpful if the dietary restrictions or allergies the guest enters on their profile to also appear on their booking in the timeline and not just under their profile. This will save us a huge amount of time

  4. When selecting the Days view in the timeline, it only allows reservations to be viewed for almost up to a week. Once that week rolls over, it becomes quite difficult to view multiple reservations in a single continuous view.

    Therefore, having a weekly view on the timeline would be amazingly beneficial.

    Having the ability to go one or two steps further back would be extremely beneficial for the property, especially since they mostly work with longer-stay guests.

  5. We would like to be able to create availability blocks in Mews that generally exclude certain days of the week.
    A typical example would be:

    A room is to be blocked for a company from Monday to Friday throughout the year.

    Weekends should be automatically excluded.

    The room should be automatically released again one day in advance if it has not been booked.

    Currently, it does not seem possible to create availability blocks with a recurring weekday pattern without having to manually create new blocks every week.

    It would therefore be very helpful if availability blocks were expanded to include…

  6. Currently, the way room numbers are sorted in Mews is fixed and there is no way to change it quickly. It would be helpful to be able to sort rooms numerically, alphabetically or by floor and to allow for quick changes between these displays for different workflows.

  7. Sometimes you have to manually retrieve reservations via the Booking or Expedia integration. It would be great if you could specify “Retrieve all reservations created between date X and date Y” so that not all bookings are transferred again. We often have cases where changes that have already been made are no longer there when the booking is transferred again. Usually, you know on which day there was a glitch, and you would only have to retrieve the reservations that were created on that day.

  8. It would be great if you could specify not only your preferred space features, but also your preferred floor. We generally allocate rooms from top to bottom, but we have a few guests who prefer to stay on the ground floor because they don't use the elevator, so that would be very convenient.

  9. Currently, policy exceptions (e.g., special rules for events or holidays) are evaluated based on the arrival date. As a result, exceptions do not apply when guests arrive before the event period begins – even if part of their stay falls within that period.

    Example: For New Year’s Eve we normally require a deposit. However, this deposit is not charged if the guest arrives before the New Year’s Eve policy exception begins, even though their stay includes the event dates.

    Improvement Proposal:
    Policy exceptions should not be based on the arrival date but should instead be evaluated using the stay dates.…

  10. There is no place to restrict for example reservations with specific rate codes to check in from the kiosk. This means that people that should have been forced to check in from the front desk for example for a registration of some type of gift cards, validation of employees on employee rates etc can check in through the kiosk without any form of validation.

  13. We require a solution to accurately manage single room reservations where multiple guests (sharers) have varying arrival and departure dates within the booked period. The current system limits us to registering a static guest count for the entire stay, which results in inaccurate occupancy data and complex billing scenarios (especially concerning automated price codes like breakfast).

    Key Requirements (The Three Needs)
    To correctly support shared rooms with dynamic occupancy, the system must address the following three critical needs:

    Need 1: Shared Guest Linking
    The ability to link multiple individual guests ("sharers") to a single room reservation.

    Need 2: Critical Dynamic…

  14. Different email templates (confirmation/ prestay++) for different seasons

    Situated in the middle of the mountains of Norway we run very differently summer and winter. Mews is great with giving the customers helpful information before the stay which makes it much easier for us at the reception. But: we need to re-write the templates two - three times per year, adjust them to winter info/ summer info/ autumn info.
    Maybe this is special for us, but I wonder if not also bigger hotels could think of adjusting pre-information to seasons like x-mas and summer breaks.
    I was looking forward to the…

  15. Sería de gran ayuda un permiso de Usuario que permita saltar restricciones de tarifas a la hora de introducir reservas.

    En nuestro caso trabajamos con tarifas que están limitadas por mínimas y máximas estancias de x noches. Y en ocasiones tenemos que hacer excepciones para prolongaciones de clientes.

    Así que nos vemos obligados a quitar la restricción para poder introducir la reserva, y volver a ponerla.

    Esto se solucionaría con un permiso para saltar restricciones.

    Saludos,

  19. Automatische Suche/ Eingabe von Bundesländern. Ich empfinde es als äußerst mühsam, die Bundesländer selbst "auswählen zu müssen". Speziell wird bei Bundesland dann nicht nur die Österreichischen Bundesländer angezeigt - sonder alle (aus Italien, Deutschland, Schweiz). Trotz das ich bereits Land Österreich ausgwählt hätte.
    In Zeiter der Digitalisierung und KI - sollte das Programm von der Postleitzahl und Land - das Bundesland selbst "raussuchen können". Ich selbst benutze zu 90% dazu auch Google

  20. Problem:
    When you update a product price in Mews (like breakfast), it only applies to new bookings. But if a guest changes their reservation (like the dates), Mews may remove the original product and re-add it at the new price not the one that was originally booked. This causes confusion for staff, inconsistent pricing for guests, and potential overcharges. Even with the workaround of creating new product versions and stopping sales of the old one, the issue can still happen, especially when guests change bookings via OTAs like Booking.com.

    Proposed Solution:
    Mews should offer a way to lock the product…
