  1. Match & Merge: Decline Match

    The Match & Merge Page should have a button that would allow the properties to decline/cancel the match "permanently"; otherwise, if we deem the suggested profiles are not a match, it will stay on the page as we have no other way to remove it. Right now, there is only "Merge" or "Review Later".

  3. Make kiosk data entry requirements the same as for online check-in

    Only request necessary data
    At the moment, the Austrian online check-in only asks for the data that is actually required by the authorities. In the kiosk, however, all data of all persons including address are requested. You should also set the same requirements in the kiosk as in the online check-in.

  4. Kiosk Screensaver

    At the moment the Kiosk Screensaver welcomes guest in different langueges for Check In. I think it would be more intuitive to tell guest just in englisch to check in and check out at the Kiosk.

  5. Mews Kiosk Verbesserung der Deutschen Übersetzung

    Manchesmal könnten die Gästeanweisungen des Kiosk besser formuliert sein mir ist aufgefallen:
    Checkout fragt nach Raumtyp statt Zimmernummer
    Check in fragt nach Kennung statt Ausweis
    Und der Screensaver ist in diversen Sprachen nur mit Check In ein Allgemein verständlicherer Screensaver wäre sicher besser zb Check In & Check Out

  6. Mews Kiosk Product Translation

    The Mews Kiosk currently only displays bookable products in the default language of the accommodation, regardless of the language selected at check-in.

    It should be easy to implement the use of existing translations in the kiosk, as is already the case in the booking engine and online check-in. For a good guest experience, it is important that the entire guest journey can be implemented in multiple languages.

  7. Mobile Phone Field on Reservation

    Our little Hotel has doors with PIN Code to allow 24h Checkin.
    We need a mandatory "Mobile Phone" field on the reservation form as a data input for the guest profile in order to later send out the Chekin PIN Codes to the guests arriving via SMS.

    We do this since 15 years now with an old booking engine. We decided to change to a new 360 PMS system and found Mews. But now in the onboarding process we had to discover that Mews has no such field. Thus we can not continue to send Checkin SMS Pin Codes to…

  9. Change the amount of Guest on Kiosk

    The property may need to ensure that all guests' information is filled during check-in due to regional requirements. Due to that, should any plans change from reservation creation to check-in regarding guest count, guests can't successfully check in if they initially booked for 2 people but only 1 person was able to show up.

    Make it possible to change occupation (guest count) on the kiosk last minute.

  10. Kiosk check-ins can only happen after set check-in / arrival time

    It would be great if the kiosk could be configured to not allow check-ins before the arrival time as configured in Stay settings.

    Currently guests can check in using the kiosk at any time, so long as the room is set to inspected. We would prefer it if guests attempting to check using the kiosk in before the set arrival time were directed to the reception desk. I think this is how the kiosk used to function before the recent major update.

  11. Hide Rate for Online Check-In

    Have the ability to hide rates for the online check-in. This is required for agents (wholesale) or some OTAs (packaged rates) where the rates should not be communicated to the guests.
    This should be part of the rate configuration and also affect rate display on the confirmation emails.

  12. Other option for credit card details at online check in

    When you check-in online you have to fill out your credit card details.
    In The Netherladns not a lot of people have a credit card, therefore a lot of people can not use this option.
    Is there a possibility to change this? Maybe by paying a deposit or just skip the credit card details?

    Thank you for your feedback. We've recently released a change enabling you to decide which rates should ask for a credit card and which rates this isn't needed. Please see our release note for details.

  14. Prevent second signature from online checked in guests (Kiosk)

    When a guest check in already only he still needs to sign again when using the Kiosk Check in at the property. If the guest already signed during online check in he should not be forced to sign again at the property.

    Thank you for raising this. This has been resolved in the latest versions of the Kiosk. Now, guest's who completed online check in are not asked to sign again at the Kiosk.

  15. Change Blacklist to non-derogatory term

    Change the terminology from "Blacklist" to "Blocklist" or similar to allow for more inclusive language, rather than a derogatory term.

  17. Mandatory fields to be filled out at online check in, due to legal requirements municipal.

    To have the possibility to make fields in the online check in Mandatory, as those are based on the legal requirement for our legal environment.
    A lot of municipals in the Netherlands are obligating the hotels to keep more records of the guests. Like document number and the fellow travelers.
    Now we have to manuelly fill this in when customer is at the reception. However, we can try to shortner this process, when we can make these fields mandotory to be filled in by the online check in. Save us, and the customer lots of time.

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

  19. 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.

  20. travel agent set up and search

    I tried finding a specific travel agency today and discovered that you are not able to search in the travel agency contracts profile!
    as they are not alphabetically or able to filter other than by country, it is sheer impossible to find anything!
    is there please an improvement coming with regards to agents as this is the most time consuming an illogical part of Mews.
    thanks
