Allow guests to change their e-mail at the Kiosk
Like when our guests check-in online, it should be possible for our guests to change their e-mail doing check in at the Kiosk. We have a lot of guests who make their reservations through booking.com and then they don't get the chance to write their own e-mail address, because we already have the autogenerated one on their profile.

Giving the employee as non admin permission an access to the corresponding that being sent directly from mews, such as booking confirmation, cancellation, invitation for online check in, invoices and etc, will speed up the employee to find the corresponding without searching in all mailboxes or activity logs.

SMS messaging
You really should be able to send SMS messages to guests. This very basic and available in PMS systems far less advanced than mews.
Should be top priority

Phone number recogniztion when booking
When guests are filling out mandatory fields in the booking engine, such as their phone number, they can fill out a number that does not exist and the booking engine will accept this as a phone number (e.g. just the number "0").
It would be helpful if the booking engine would recognize phone numbers as a valid phone number, so we have all contact details we may need from the guest after they make the booking.

Possibility to turn off bookable service in a specific booking engine
Currently we have a few services, such as bike rental, breakfast, and parking that can be added by the guests while making a reservation.
However, there are certain situations where we do not want this option to be visible for the guests. An example is guests that come for a specific conference, who book through their own booking engine.
It would be great if we can turn on/off bookable services for the specific booking engine when requested. We went through all settings, but are unable to find a way to do so.

product restrictions
Allow customization on when a product should or shouldn't be shown to the guest.
Some examples:
- Don't show breakfast product for breakfast included rates
- Restrict a product in the guest journey depending on minimum/maximum advance (will allow for gradually more expensive versions of the product as it gets closer to the date of stay)
- Restrict a product for certain days of the week (only available on weekends)

Display Settlement Rules + Cancellation Policies on Booking Engine
Currently - settlement + cancellation policies are not visible to the guest in the booking engine. So for each rate code - we have to manually insert text to describe this in multiple languages.
Most other Booking Engines display these rules by default during the booking-process online. Mews should be able to auto-generate this text - in multiple languages.The proposed solution would remove potential mismatch/errors between text & rules , save time for the user, and create a more sellable text to display rather than focusing a lot of the text to rules regarding the reservation.

Booker information
When a reservation goes through Siteminder the booker information is not added in Mews. We have alot of reservations made by a booker for a guest, when the guest arrives we only have their name and the booked details are gone so if the booker wants to pay we have to add this information manually after finding it in siteminder. its all there we just need the information to be added into Mews as well.

Let the main booker add companion details during the online check-in process
I understand how nice it is to collect more email addresses from guests, but the workflow to add companions during the online check-in process is causing most guests to not finish it.
We (in Austria) require a name, nationality and date of birth of every companion.
During the process, the main booker fills out his/her details, which is working very smoothly. Then the guest is asked to add companions. The guest can add a name and an email address for the companions, who then have to perform a seperate check-in process. This often does not happen, as the guest feels…

multiple guest entry
when booking multiple rooms, it should become possible to add ALL names for the rooms, especially when different room types are combined.
we have several corporate clients for whom we provide a seperate booking engine, and they sometimes book multiple rooms at once but do wish to specify the name per room booked.

Autofill for Mews booking engine
I realised that the Mews booking engine does not use labels for the form (first name, last name, email address, ...). Autofill won't work properly.
Most browsers support autofill and I think Mews should make use of that. It will bring more convenience for guests.
You can find more information on this topic here: https://web.dev/learn/forms/autofill/

Customizeable Email Templates
We need more customization options in the mail templates. To create a new template and choose when it is sent would be greatly beneficial. We also need more options to customize the existing templates, we should be able to use all existing placeholders in all emails, so for example we could include just arrival date or number of guests, without departure date and rate.

automatic e-mails by source
Automatic e-mails are currently sent to all guests with an e-mail adsress. However, even OTA-guests-addresses (generated by the OTA for the communication via an extranet) are count. This leads to situations when our coded template is being sent to e.g. a booking.com-customer and basically unreadable in the extranet messaging tool. we would suggest either switch on/off-function by source or different templates by source (e.g. simplified versions/text only) for OTA guests

Modifying/Cancelling Reservations in Online Check-in
Enable guests to modify and cancel booking in online check-in if it's outside the cancellation period. This would simplify and automate the process for hoteliers where guests need to call/email to make any changes.

Proving Guest has accepted T&Cs tickbox
Whilst its 'controlled' in the booking flow that a guest cannot complete the reservation without ticking the acceptance box for T&Cs, when it comes to defending a chargeback it supports a stronger counter-challenge if we have the ability to send a screenshot of the reservation summary with the datapoint captured that the T&Cs were accepted and timestamped.

improve restriction visibility in the booking engine
Currently, the only way how guest can find out about the restriction is when the restriction is applied across the entire property. If there's a different length of stay restriction attached to different space categories, the guest receives a "NO AVAILABILITY" message.
