  1. Hello,

    We would like to offer space upgrade during the online check in but the current feature is missing a few options in our opinion:

    • We cannot be notified when a guest upgrades their room during the online check in
    • Upgrades are hard to track and they do not appear on the planning (contrary to manual upgrades) .
    • No report can indicate the additional revenue that we generated that way
    • We would like to be able to put a time limit on upgrade availability (for example, no upgrades past 3PM the day of) as to not impact housekeeping planning too…

  2. We currently see that we are missing a significant opportunity to communicate with and obtain complete guest profiles for guests who book through traditional travel agencies. For these bookings, email addresses are often not provided — at best, we receive a phone number. This applies to approximately 70% of all our bookings.

    To bridge this gap, we would like to propose a product improvement:
    An automated SMS flow where guests without an email address receive an invitation to register in the guest portal, where they can then complete their contact details, including email.

    This feature would:

  3. 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. It would be nice to be able to attach images or PDF files to specific invoices, both as internal reference as well as for guests' purview, in case of forwarded costs from an external receipt - e.g.: an external laundry service that doesn't accrue any service fees from the hotel's side, but just gets posted 1:1 on the client's bill with 0% VAT.

  5. Currently the News Booking engine will show NO availivility for a full month when you click a date on a calendar that has no availability and a two night stay restriction.This is very misleading for someone trying to book as it show the full month is booked. Mews needs to fix this.

  6. Everyone has an AI chatbot, at that is going to be the future of all online operations. My suggestion is that Mews allows for a custom script (for a AI-chatbot widget) in the booking engine settings.

  7. We use Tasks and find it a very useful tool. However, at the moment, all staff who log in to Mews can see every Task, regardless of which person or department it has been assigned to. This increases the risk of something being overlooked. In addition, there are situations where you may want to comment on a Task addressed to, for example, management, and you don’t want everyone to be able to read it.
    My suggestion is that Mews should be filtered so that each user only sees Tasks related to their own department/group and/or assigned directly to them.

  8. I would like the possibility to turn off e-mails for specific rates. We have travel agencies where the customer books directly from them and then the travel agency will book the nights directly from our website. However, now the guest will automatically receive a confirmation and a price that is not correct since they booked it through an agency who have set up a package price for them.

    As it is now, we are excluded from being part of some of these packages and from being a supplier to some agencies because of this.

  9. We have benefits connected to specific rates. It would be helpful if, when these rates are booked, a task automatically appears so we always remember to provide these benefits to the guests.

  10. Currently consistent and easy branding of email templates is tedious.

    But, I have an idea: there are some “mews” row templates within the template editor, could we get a way to create “property” or “enterprise” level rows? That way we could insert those master rows in the templates and have a central place to edit them all across the board.
    same for some common settings, like font style or some other custom css properties that could be managed and edited from on place, like a master template/setting.

    the idea is to separate styling & branding from content.
    Don’t get me…

  11. Sehr geehrtes MEWS-Team,
    zunächst möchten wir betonen, wie zufrieden wir mit Ihrem PMS sind. MEWS ist aus unserer Sicht ein hervorragend durchdachtes System, das viele Prozesse im Hotelalltag effizient und intuitiv gestaltet – dafür ein großes Kompliment!
    Dennoch möchten wir einen konkreten Verbesserungsvorschlag zum Angebotsmanagement anregen:
    Aktuell führt die Angebotsdarstellung bei Gruppenanfragen (z. B. bei einer Buchung von 10 Zimmern) zu einer sehr unübersichtlichen Darstellung. Der Gast erhält eine lange Liste einzelner Zimmerangebote, was die Übersichtlichkeit und Vergleichbarkeit stark einschränkt.
    Zudem ist es derzeit nicht möglich, die verschiedenen Zimmerkategorien mit ihren jeweiligen Preisen separat und klar strukturiert darzustellen. Dies erschwert sowohl…

  13. Description:
    We have encountered a recurring issue with guests misunderstanding the price of room upgrades during the online check-in process. In some cases, guests confuse the per-night upgrade price with the total price for their stay, leading to disputes at check-out.
    To enhance clarity and prevent such misunderstandings, we suggest implementing an automatic upgrade confirmation email that clearly states:
    The selected upgrade details
    The final total price of the upgrade
    A breakdown of costs if applicable
    This confirmation email should be sent to both the guest and the hotel staff upon upgrade selection. This would allow front desk employees to…

  14. Wir haben neu ein I-Pad an der Rezeption mit dem MEWS-Kiosk, damit Gäste sich selbst eine Schlüsselkarte programmieren können bei Verlust. Jedoch habe ich gesehen, dass wenn Gäste bereits eingecheckt sind, die Gäste die Buchungsnummer zusätzlich eingeben müssen. Da jedoch die meisten Gäste diese nicht haben oder sich selbst ausgeschlossen haben aus dem Zimmer gar kein Handy dabeihaben, um die Nummer zu suchen.

    Ich verstehe, dass die Gäste nicht nur mit dem Nachnamen eine neue Karte programmieren können, denke aber dass zum Beispiel durch Eingabe des Geburtsdatum des Gastes viel besser lösbar wäre, damit keine Anrufe entstehen...

  15. Sur l'interface de saisie des informations de carte bancaire il faut remplacer "Vous allez payer" par "Total de votre réservation" parce beaucoup d'hôtels ne demandent pas le paiement immédiat de la réservation.
    C'est un véritable FREIN A LA VENTE.

  16. When creating vouchers, the “Booking engine URL” link on the voucher detail page always redirects to the property’s default Booking Engine configuration. For properties using multiple Booking Engines (e.g., one with rate comparison enabled and one without, or different configurations), it would be extremely helpful to have the ability to link a voucher to a specific Booking Engine configuration. This would allow more precise control over the guest experience

  17. Current Flow >> Guests go through multiple steps:

    ""Dates → Room Selection → Rates + Upsell → Summary → Details → Payment Confirmation""

    *Extra Pages create more opportunities for guests to drop off.
    *
    For example, the Summary page seems to act as an extra confirmation step before entering guest details and payment.
    *Fewer clicks and transitions mean less friction and fewer chances for abandonment.
    *
    Combining certain pages/elements might also have a better customer experience.

  18. To streamline the check-in process, especially for large groups, we propose implementing a QR code system:

    Guests scan a QR code that directs them to the hotel’s guest portal.

    They can complete online check-in by entering their first and last name.

    This allows faster processing for groups compared to relying solely on the 6 available kiosks.

    For individual arrivals, the current solution using a personalized online check-in link via email remains available.

    This approach provides flexibility: efficient group check-in through QR code scanning while maintaining the personalized option for single guests.

  19. When a portfolio includes more than 1 property, the current process requires checking each property individually to locate the open bill. Imagine a chain with 100+ properties. This approach is highly time-intensive and introduces unnecessary operational overhead.

    Ideally, if the system detects an open bill anywhere in the portfolio chain, the error handling logic should surface the specific property ID with that open bill directly in the error message. This would significantly reduce manual effort, improve troubleshooting efficiency, and deliver a better user experience by providing actionable information upfront.

  20. Riguardo alla lettura dei messaggi CHAT.. se un operatore clicca su una chat specifica magari con una conversazione di 10 domande o risposte risulta LETTO solo 1 chat alla volta ed il contatore scala di 1 messaggio letto alla volta.
    Ovviamente se io leggo una chat leggerò TUTTA la chat e sarebbe più veloce far risultare letta subito TUTTA la chat dal contatore facendo guadagnare molto tempo.
