Make Pre-Arrival mail fully customizable (HTML enabled)
The pre-arrival mail was recently released as a new functionality. Which was very handy to inform customers about the COVID measures taken in the hotel. At this moment, you can't style this email template. Only add plain text.
Please upgrade this functionality so it fits the brand of the hotel and a possiblity to add images and others.27 votes -
Stop online check in for under aged guests
We're facing difficulties in some properties where under aged guests are checking in online. There should be a way to stop those online check in. At the moment they could just pick up the key on the operator kiosk and go to the room. Therefore we would accommodate them, without knowing they are under the allowed age, which is against the law. We do have the responsibility to control the age of the guest. This already happened and cause complains and frustrations on hotel and guest side.

Google Hotel Ads
Google is stepping into Booking.com, Expedia and other OTA's (even some Metasearch) with Google Hotel Ads. All hoteliers want to show the option to book direct in their website when they appear in the search results when someone is looking for a hotel in X destination or a search has been done under the hotel name.
Right now clients using Mews Distributor needs to contract WHIP to connect to GHA. Having direct integration will add value to Mews Distributor by matching most of the BE that have this integration and reducing cost of distribution. We also know that clients using…29 votes -

Introduce a configuration whether to request Credit card details during online check-in
Guest are currently required to insert payment card during online check-in. This sometimes causes problems with double-charges in case the guest's reservation is prepaid by agency and staff latter on accidentally charges the guest card for stay. It also raises questions and mistrust of guests for online check-in and prevents them from finishing it.
Another case:
If "mandatory credit card" rules could be based on ratecode or rate category.
When we have a guest that is staying complimentary/using a gift voucher or company is paying, that guest is currently still required to enter their creditcard details as part of the…51 votes -

Calendar view; show the available bookable dates per apartment type to guests.
Currently a guest can only search for dates; checkin and checkout. Some guest have a strong preference for a particular apartment type and they want to know on which dates this apartment type is available. Currently this is not possible. Guest can only try a million times by entering dates and hope it is bookable. The solution can be calendar view or at least provide info on which dates there is the first availability. Apartment 'Superior' is available on July 25'th for 4 nights. With a calendar view (see AirBnb example) it is easy to see the free available spots.…

add car plate number to registration form
because we use an entrance gate on our holiday park we ask all guests for their license plates. It would be easy if you could add it to the online check-in, but until then we would like to add it to the registration form so that the guest can also add it neatly when filling in his/her details.

Cancellation policies in reservation confirmation
Would be great if cancellation policies can be added in reservation details mentioned in booking confirmation received by customer.
Like this, he is fully aware of specific cancellation policies, even if booking directly with hotel via phone or email.25 votes -

Credit card requirement at online check-in
When people fill in the online check-in they reach the last step and are required to fill in their credit card details. In our country (the Netherlands) it's not customary that people own a credit card and are therefore often stuck at this step of the online check-in and don't know what to do next. It would be helpful to put a custom message at this step of the online check-in like "To proceed with the online check-in you're gonna need a creditcard. If you do not want to leave your creditcard details here or you don’t have one: no…
