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 have only 6 units and our cleaning schedule is based on a minimum of two to clean (outsourced) - so we do not have cleaning on a daily basis. To avoid booking rooms that are not yet cleaned (or blocked for holidays when we are closed) we used the house blocked space. Unfortunately, that blocked space will cause the cleaning status to default to dirty automatically - even if you change the status back to clean - it will bump it back to dirty until after the last blocked space date - check out time. Should be able to…

  2. Ich hätte gerne die Möglichkeit, einer Rate nur ein gewisses Kontingent zuzuordnen.

    Ich habe eine Frühbucher-Rate, möchte diese aber nur für eine begrenzte Anzahl an Zimmern buchbar machen.

    Wir arbeiten mit DIRS als Channelmanager, da konnte ich das als Regel einstellen (schließe diese Rate, wenn weniger als x Zimmer verfügbar sind).

    Sinnvoll wäre es, dies unter den Restriktionen einzutragen.

    Würde mich sehr freuen, wenn dies realisiert würde.

  3. När vi gör ankomstlistan för nästa dag "Reservation overview report" så tar det för lång tid nu - ni har ändrad detta nyligen (ca. 10 dagar sedan)
    Vi vill INTE att det hoppar tillbaka till toppen av listan när man korrigerat en ankomst. Vi vill komma tillbaka till listan på den rad/bokstav där vi är.

  4. When uploading Group blocks with excel, the system assigns rooms based on Room category, it would be beneficial to assign based on room numbers rather than room category

  5. 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

  6. When adding a product to a bill, like a parking fee, it would be good to be able to add a note with the fee to the bill so that the note is also shown on the final invoice. If we for example have group/meeting reservations where everything is going on the same bill, for the customer it is occasionally important to know whose parking fees are actually on the final invoice.

  7. Bitte so einstellen, dass MEWS die Rechnung nicht "Meier-21-2-418E" benennt, sondern "21.02.2026 - 22.02.2026 (Martin Meier)". Das wäre weitaus verständlicher und würde uns helfen verschiedene Rechnungen besser zu überblicken.

  8. 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.

  9. Add More conditions to the Product Rules: so users can have even more specific applications. Some of them are:

    Such as the "Creation Date" of reservations. Especially if a new tax/service fee is to be in effect only after/before a certain date.
    Age Categories
    Space Features
    Valid Period of promotion (Voucher)
    Floor Number

  10. Currently, The Space Status Report refers to Stayovers as "Any booking that is staying overnight and has neither arrived that day nor departed that day."

    If the user does not know to include "Arriving/Arrived" filter, they can miss many arrivals that checked in after midnight (especially if their arrival was expected at 3 PM the previous day). This therefore opens up the hotel to possible mistakes.

    It would be nice to simplify the logic to reduce some of the work on the Operations Team. If the unit checked in is staying over - regardless of arrival -they should be listed…

  12. It would be helpful to be able to work with a date when adjusting the price of products, e.g. City Taxe valid until date xx.xx.xxxx CHF.... from date xx.xx.xxxx CHF ... valid. City taxes are legal requirements that can change from time to time.

  13. We would love to have a different role options for our housekeeping so that only the houskeeping manager can "check" a room. Everyone else should just be able to put the room to "clean".

    That is not yet possible.

  14. 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…

  15. When we check out guests at the reception, it would be helpful if we could easily display the invoice digitally to the guest before checkout. The idea would be a button that would send the invoice view to a permanently installed iPad/screen for the guest. For example, you could select the right or left screen, and the invoice would then appear there. This could be achieved via a browser window.

  16. 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.

  17. It would be very helpful if there was a cross-search bar for product within the billing window. There is a cross-search sanction within the additional services, but often not everyone knows which product is in which additional service. Therefore, a general cross-search function would be helpful.

  18. 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.
