Merge Profiles Automatically
The system should have a tool to detect automatically similar profiles (same name and surname for example) and propose one by one to merge or not the profile. It could be a big help and time saver for us, as it could take time to detect duplicate profile.

refuse reservation when payment fails
For Non Refundable Bookings or bookings with a payment at confirmation, refuse bookings for which payment has failed.
Currently, bookings are accepted with failed payments and only a settlement task in created. This leads to excess admin for bookings that provide no income.

Let the main booker add companion details during the online check-in process
I understand how nice it is to collect more email addresses from guests, but the workflow to add companions during the online check-in process is causing most guests to not finish it.
We (in Austria) require a name, nationality and date of birth of every companion.
During the process, the main booker fills out his/her details, which is working very smoothly. Then the guest is asked to add companions. The guest can add a name and an email address for the companions, who then have to perform a seperate check-in process. This often does not happen, as the guest feels…
55 votesHi
I'm Olivia from the Product team at Mews.
It is possible for the main guest to fill the details on behalf of their companions instead of inviting them by email.
You can find more details in our Help Centre, look for the article " The online check-in journey in the Guest Portal"
Note that companion details are only collected if they are legally required though, if you'd like to collect them in any case, you can add your votes to a different idea: https://feedback.mews.com/forums/955598-guest-experience/suggestions/47561279-invite-companion-via-online-check-in-regardless-of.

User friendly datepickers / mask fields
Many users have experienced trouble with the datepickers available in Mews Navigator and Distributor. Rather than selecting years from a dropdown or typing it in a field, it is currently required that users scroll back to the correct year before they are able to select the correct month and date. Implementation of more user-friendly datepickers could both eliminate confusion and frustration, making date selection much easier.

QR code shouldn't be attached to confirmation email
Currently the QR code is automatically attached to confirmation email and cannot be removed. It's confusing for our guests as they don't know why we have this attachment on their confirmation email.
An hotel can prefer to communicate about their online check-in than checking in on a Kiosk. I would prefer if you could hotel choose.43 votesHi Mewsers!
You can now disable the QR code from all guest-facing emails through the Settings.To do so, please navigate to Settings > Services > Stay > Options and make sure that you don’t have “Enable QR code in emails” option selected.
If the option is disabled, placeholder in the body email is ignored and won’t be shown in the email body, neither the QR code attachment.
Have a great day,

Notes by department
Notes are often added to reservations and meant for a specific department. To help clarify who each message may be intended for, notes functionality could be expanded to include a field for department. This labeling could help eliminate confusion and notify each team about important information.

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.

Logo in Distributor to send to homepage
Property logo in the Distributor should take visitor to the property homepage.
32 votesHi Mewsers,
If you wish to make your logo in the booking engine clickable, we recommend using the solution called “Distributor widget” which is basically a booking engine embedded in your web page.
With that, you have full control over the header of the page. Here is the documentation: https://app.gitbook.com/@mews-systems/s/distributor-guide/distributor-widget
Please have a look at the website of our client for a reference (just navigate to the booking engine). https://staygenerator.com/

Enable Kiosk to scan IDs + Driver's Licenses in US + Canada
99% of guests in the US and Canada do not travel with their passport. Therefore Mews ID scanner doesn't work in this region. Properties are looking for ways to automate their check-in and checking ID/Driver's License is absolutely crucial.
Scanning IDs and DLs is a needed feature in North America.
Properties should also be able to make this a mandatory step if a guest wants to check in on a kiosk.

Automatically add guest profile to new reservations or extensions
When you're creating a new reservation inside a guest reservation/group (extension) you'll have to add, again, the guest profile. It would be way easier and faster if the guest profile was added automatically by default.
30 votesHello Mewsers,
Thank you for your feedback.
We are happy to inform you that adding an additional reservation to a group from the group reservations screen will automatically populate the guest profile. All you will have to do from there is select room and rate!
We look forward to hearing your continued feedback.
Kind regards,

Option to edit or disable mandatory OCI/GDPR mail
We are having a lot of discomfort with the tone of voice and content of the email that gets send out automatically after booking, and thus being the first email that guests receive after they make a booking. The mail starts with "At <PropertyName>, we are dedicated to your leisure..."
This email cannot be disabled, nor can it be edited to OUR tone of voice. As our property isn't actively using online check-ins, this is for our guests a pointless email. (except for the GDPR notification) After this mail, we are still forced to send a confirmation mail, upselling mail…
28 votesHello from Mews product team!
Good news! You can now request disabling of the “Customer added” email (also known as “Account created”) through our Support.
Based on several feedback sessions with many of you this solution is looking to be the best one (comparing to e.g. email customization).
Thanks for all your inputs.
