Extend Key Card Validity Post-Checkout for Improved Guest Experience
Dear Mews,
Currently, key cards expire at our fixed checkout time (11:00 AM), which can cause inconvenience for guests who need to retrieve luggage or personal items from their room shortly after checkout. This often results in unnecessary trips to the front desk or frustration when access is denied.
Proposal:
We’d like to propose introducing a configurable grace period (e.g., 30 minutes) after the standard checkout time, during which key cards remain active. This small change would significantly enhance the guest experience by providing flexibility and reducing friction during departure.Benefits:
- Guest Convenience: Guests can retrieve forgotten items without…18 votes -
Automatic "Minor / Underage" Classification Icon
Description:
A classification icon that is automatically added to the guest profile, when adding the guest's information - visible next to the guest's name in the dashboards, guest profile, timeline ect.Similar to the "female" icon or other classification icons like "returning", "staff" or "blocklist".
This would help streamlining our operation, especially when dealing with groups like school/student groups as well as help identifying underage guests that booked individually (which is only possible under certain conditions to be in line with the law and requires different/additional steps upon check-in).
Why This Matters:
- better overview when dealing with groups

Register preferred room in guest profile
Our regular guests have 1 or 2 favourite rooms which we want to book for them if available. This is not linked to specified room features, but they simply like the colour, layout or location in the hallway.
I see this has been requested before and stated as released with the room features, but this is not solving the issue.9 votes -
Skip "Blocklist" Customers in Guest Profiles Clearance
Mews currently allows automatic or manual clearance of inactive guest profiles. However, if a blocklisted guest becomes “inactive,” their profile can be cleared as well. Because the blocklist flag is tied to the profile’s email, deleting the profile can remove the blocklist — allowing the guest to book again.
Problem
Hotels risk losing important safety and security protections if blocklisted guests are cleared along with inactive profiles.Requested Enhancement
Please introduce a safeguard that ensures blocklisted guests remain blocked even when old or inactive profiles are cleared. This could be achieved by:- Automatically skipping blocked profiles during clearance, …

Allow Kiosk Check-in for Dirty Rooms
Enable guests to check in via the kiosk even if the assigned room is still marked as "Dirty" (e.g. early arrival). Add an optional feature to send an SMS to the guest once the room is cleaned and ready, informing them they can now go to the reception or receive their key.

Improve Guest Profile Merge Experience
Clients often perceive the system as slow or unresponsive during profile merges because:
Merging takes time — it takes some time before the merged profile disappears.
Pages do not auto‑refresh — After merging, it may require the user to manually reload to display the updated data, which can make the system appear broken or lagging.

Development of linked profiles
Now we can link profiles together. A very good development.
As a next step, it would be helpful if we could not only use these links manually, but also automate the processes.For example, I create a new reservation. If I now want to add fellow travellers, I currently have to check the profile to see if there are any linked profiles, and then laboriously type in and search for the names of the linked profiles as before.
It would be advantageous if the linked profiles were automatically displayed in this step. Ideally with showing the saved relationship.

Company Match & Merge visibility improvement – reduce duplicate company profiles in Mews
Although merge functionality exists, duplicate company profiles are not proactively surfaced or shown side-by-side for easy comparison. As a result, duplicate companies can remain unnoticed.
Please consider extending the same match and merge approach that is available for guest profiles to company profiles as well. The goal is to actively highlight potential duplicate companies and allow authorized users to review and merge them in a controlled way, similar to the guest profile matching workflow.

Redesign the UI of booking engine
The design of the booking engine in MEWS feels somewhat outdated, and it would be great if the MEWS design team could suggest a more modern appearance. It’s a shame that the hotel’s logo at the top left is so small.

Show service promotion descriptions in the Booking Engine
The Booking Engine currently shows only the name, image, and price of a service promotion. The description entered in the service settings (e.g., for parking) is not displayed to guests. Please enable service promotion descriptions to appear directly in the “Enhance your stay” section of the booking page.

Improve information displayed for payment requests in guest profiles
When a customer completes a required pre-authorization in the booking engine, a payment request is automatically created and displayed on the guest profile. Currently, this payment request appears with the message “payment for reservation”, which can be misleading. Additionally, the payment request does not indicate which user or process created it.
As a result, it’s difficult to identify that the request originated from the pre-authorization process without manually cross-referencing timestamps within the system.
Proposed Improvements:
Display the user or system process that created the payment request (e.g., Booking Engine – Pre-Authorization).
Update the message text to clearly reflect the context…

Shortened URLs for sharing booking links
It would be really useful to have an option to shorten booking links directly within the platform, without having to rely on external websites like bit.ly or others. Currently, the booking link in Mews can get very long, which isn't ideal for sharing.
I think this addition would improve the user experience, making it more efficient and streamlined.
Thanks for considering this!

Add an option to disable automated emails for a specific customer.
Add an option in the customer profile to disable certain automated emails (check-ins, reminders, etc.).
This would be useful for long-term, returning customers who do not want to receive recurring weekly emails.Ajouter une option dans le profil client permettant de désactiver certains emails automatiques (check-in, rappels, etc.).
Cette option serait utile pour les clients fidèles qui ne souhaitent pas recevoir des emails récurrents chaque semaine.5 votes -
Check in form: "Issuing Authority" instead of "Issuing City"
The fields for travel documents / IDs currently contain a field labeld "Issuing city". However, this does not make any sense, because most passports and ID cards do not have a field "issuing city". Instead, as for example required by law in Austria, a field "Issuing Authority" would be required.
Therefore, I recommend to add a field "issuing authority" and make it default in jurisdictions where this is required to collect. Make "Issuing city" hidden or optional.5 votes -
Ready system for eID
With the upcoming introduction of an eID in Switzerland, the ID/Passport scanning function should be updated to be able to read QR codes and access Switzerland's eID system.
Also online check-in should allow guests to connect their eID if wanted, next to manually filling in all data.

In guest portal, to allow only the primary customer to consent to the verification of identity documents for all guests in the reservation
When primary customer consents to the verification/scanning of documents, all companions should then be allowed and asked to scan theirs during the online check in flow without having to be invited to do their online check in separately.

Apply Voucher Codes to Service Promotions in the IBE
Description:
Currently, Mews does not support applying voucher codes to service promotions linked to a stay service in the Internet Booking Engine (IBE). While vouchers work correctly for standalone bookable services (e.g., parking rates), they are ignored when the same service is added as a service promotion to a stay service.Use Case:
We frequently offer our corporate guests customized or free parking rates. To streamline this process, we need the ability to apply voucher codes to service promotions, ensuring:
-Automatic rate adjustments based on the voucher.
- Accurate inventory management (via bookable services).
- Self-service booking for guests through…6 votes -
Placeholder in searchbar
A placeholder character in the search bar would be great, as it would make it easier to search for names or companies when you are unsure how they are spelled.
For example, if I'm searching for Maximilian Meyer, but don't know whether the guest is listed in the system as Max or Maxi or Maximilian and how exactly the last name is spelled. In this case, I could enter Max% M%er, for example, and the system would give me the resulting options.
Furthermore, it would be great if you could search for several search terms at the same time to…4 votes -
Email Editor: Space Category as a condition type in Dynamic Content
Currently, the Dynamic Content / Display Conditions feature in the new email editor supports segment-based conditions (e.g. trip.businessSegmentId). This is useful, but it does not cover one of the most common personalization use cases: showing different content depending on the booked room/space category.
We would like to request that space category (resourceCategoryId) is added as a native condition type in the Display Conditions UI — alongside the existing segment-based conditions.
Our specific use case:
We want to display a different room image in the Confirmation Letter depending on the guest's booked space category (e.g. Standard Room, Studio, Barrier-free). This would…3 votes
