Ambiguous header "included" in Kiosk Check-in reservation overview for the guest
For an existing reservation, the kiosk will display at check-in the guest name, "your booking", check out" and then a section with the header "Included.
Now for an Expedia Collect booking, underneath the header "Included", we find 2x City Tax. However, the city tax is not included in the Expedia price and the guest has to pay the city tax extra. This creates an ambiguous situation where the guest may think that the city tax is already included in the price.1 vote -
Option "Last Name Only" in the Mews Kiosk setup
We selected the option "Last name only" for the question: "Chooses what guests need to find their reservation". Still when the guest enters an error in the name, a confirmation number is requested. This is confusing and not in line with what was asked. Rather than prompting for the confirmation number, the kiosk should re-display the previous screen, requesting to enter the last name. Now there is no easy way to get back to this screen.

Preferred space features
The preferred space features of the internal > guest profile, should be the same as those we customize for bookable services. This would make this feature really useful. Otherwise, I don't think we're providing the right experience for the guest.

Add minibar items during online check out
At the moment the guests cannot add any minibar item to the bill, they have to come extra to the FO desk to settle the payment for these items.
If they could add it during CO it would be much effective.

Read Guest Messages: Clear Notification for All once Actioned by one
Currently, when an employee responds to a guest message, the notification "new message" remains for all other employees with permission to receive guest messages.
It would be more efficient if the notification would clear for ALL the minute it is actioned or replied to with the user's Initials and timestamp.

Turn off automatic e-mails for specific rates
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.

Erweiterung der Variablen in den E-Mail-Templates
Liebes Mews-Team,
Aktuelle Situation:
In den E-Mail-Templates stehen aktuell nur begrenzte Variablen zur Verfügung, um Buchungsdetails darzustellen.Anforderung:
Wir benötigen zusätzliche Variablen in den E-Mail-Templates, insbesondere:Einzelsumme je gebuchtem Extraprodukt
Gesamtsumme aller gebuchten Extraprodukte

Vor allem bei Firmenbuchungen ist eine klare Aufschlüsselung einzelner Extraprodukte sowie eine Gesamtsumme erforderlich, um den internen Anforderungen unserer Geschäftskunden gerecht zu werden.Erwartetes Ergebnis:
Die E-Mail-Templates bieten die Möglichkeit, sowohl Einzelpreise als auch die Gesamtsumme der Extraprodukte dynamisch einzubinden.

Show original booked room type in guest communication (not upgraded type)
We are facing an issue that causes confusion for both our team and our guests.
Currently, when we send a manual confirmation email or when guests check in online, the current room type is displayed. This also happens when we grant a free upgrade. As a result:
…1. Guests get wrong expectations – Sometimes we need to change the room type back to the originally booked one (due to availability). Guests then feel disappointed or even complain, since they saw the “higher” room type in their confirmation or online check-in. 2. Guests get confused about pricing – For example, when1 vote -
Allow promo codes on multiple rate groups
In the booking engine we are offering the promo code option for direct bookers to receive instant discount. However this is only possible on 1 rate group, leading to stacked OTA (member) offers sometimes being more favorable.
It would be great if we can develop a way to link 1 promo code to 2 rate groups to prevent this from happening

Enhance Calendar Functionality in Booking Engine to Improve Guest Experience in the LLMs (such as ChatGPT) and Reduce Conversion Loss
Why this matters:
At the moment, LLMs (like ChatGPT) and meta search platforms tend to redirect users to OTAs like Booking.com instead of our direct Booking Engine. This shift is largely due to a suboptimal booking interface, which contributes to significant commission losses. Improving the calendar UX would not only support direct conversions but also make our engine more competitive in AI-driven booking flows.Description:
The current date-selection tool in the Mews Booking Engine lacks clarity and usability, which leads to guest confusion and booking abandonment. We'd like to propose the following improvements:A more intuitive calendar interface that allows…

MinLOS
When setting up a MinLOS, the booking enigne mentions "no availability".
This is misleading for guests since you can book, but only for 2 nights (in our example). There should be a pop up saying that there is a MinLOS for the requested date.2 votes -
Booker Confirmation email needs to be more concise for group bookings
Please make the new email templates better suited for group bookings. Summary merge tags are no longer available in the new email templates.
In the new templates, if a booker books 21 x Room A, the booker confirmation shows Room A + description + rate 21 times!! Same goes for tourist tax.
Room A + description + rate
Room A + description + rate
Room A + description + rate

Mail templates - dynamically derive from common master templaze
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.

guest chat information linked to guest profile
Mews is constantly improving the use of AI for guest profile. It seems very strange that you do not include all the information from the guests chats. Here it is typical last minute wishes coming in, like silent room, allergies ao.
If you are not able to push this directly in the AI info it is weird there is NO link at all from the reservation or the guest profile that this guest/reservation had a chat with important information - accessable also later.1 vote -

In today’s digital era, isn’t it time we broaden the ways we engage and communicate with our guests?
In today’s digital era, isn’t it time we rethink and expand the ways we communicate with our guests?
Relying solely on traditional channels like email and telephone may no longer align with how many travellers prefer to connect. From WeChat and Messenger to WhatsApp and other instant messaging platforms, guests increasingly expect to interact with hotels in the same seamless, real-time manner they use in their everyday lives.
If we truly aim to be guest-centric, we must meet them where they are, and not where we’re used to being.
