  1. It would be great if it would be possible to change the check in message manually:

    After self check in the text shows:
    „Don´t forget, your keys are on the reception“…
    During Corona times many guest do not get their ke
    ys at the reception. Thats why the hotel needs to change this message.

    Good news! We just released this feature. You can now configure the custom online check-in instructions.

    Custom check-in instruction appear at the end of the online check-in flow.

    Have a great day,
    Aneta

  3. As it seems, the QR code is only readable from Ipones (IOS) and not readable on Androids at the moment. Since Android still has a huge marketshare, this would be a big improvement for guests and hosts.

    Hello from the Mews product team.

    We have marked this request as ‘released’ as the Mews Kiosk can read QR codes from Android devices.

    Thank you again for sharing your feedback with us!

  4. Online check-out rules to be changed to allow higher adoption rates:

    • Allow hotels to set time for 'online check-out invitation' email

    Currently online check-out is sent at 17h00 on the day before check-out. Guests arriving after 17h00 (majority in many corporate destinations) and only staying 1 night don't receive the email invite due to this fixed time

    • Allow guest profiles with "company" attached to their profile to check-out online. Currently not possible according to your team due to strict taxation rules? I don't see why this should be a problem. And it's specifically "corporate guests" who want to avoid lines…

  5. Currently customer added email can be disabled only in GA, for all guest. If a property is using a third party integration for guest journey (for certain guests), it would create duplicate emails and guest will receive too many mails.
    Would it be feasible to decide for each reservation if customer added email should be sent?

  6. Regarding the contactless check-out: please make sure the guest do NOT have to pay for himself when booking va OTAs whenever the VCC details are not available / payment not taken as it does not make sense and create complains

    Hi Mewsers!
    Thank you for your input. We have updated the online check-out flow for guests with remaining balance on VCC.

    Guests with remaining balance on virtual credit card AND items to be paid upon check-out won’t be able to pay during the online check-out and they will be send to reception.

    They will still be able to review their bill in advance and add minibar items (if you have minibar) but they won’t be able to pay with their card, neither with VCC. Guests who has nothing to pay during online check-out can finish the online check-out even though their VCC is not fully charged.

    We are closely monitoring the occurrence of cases who cannot proceed via flow. So far it’s very low (2 out of 500 people). In case the occurrence will increase we will come up with more comprehensive solution.

    At the moment I suggest…

  7. Customers already receive confirmation and online c-in emails.
    There is a ID scanner in place, however it takes time for guests to put their name and booking ref number.
    It will be very helpful if a guest can just present a QR code for their booking and the kiosk finds their booking and starts the c-in process.
    This will also limit the errors when mistyping name/booking number and limit the customer "touch" interaction with the device for the current Covid environment.

  8. Their should be an option to add Check-In and Check-Out parameters to a link so the customer only have to select room type and rate.

    for example:
    same as language parameters:
    ?language=de-DE

    how it would help us:
    ?date-in22/9/19&date-out24/9/19 or whatever is possible.

  9. "Properties may want to encourage their guests to book directly through their website using Mews Distributor, however those guests may want to compare their pricing options before they book anything. Introducing a rate comparison box could help highlight discounts for reservations made through your website in comparison to the higher prices available on competitors' sites."

  10. Show availability of rooms in the booking engine only if they are available in consecutive days to prevent guest from having to switch rooms. There should be a setting that would enable this functionality for properties that do not want to disappoint guest upon arrival.

    Hello from Mews,


    This feature is already in place in the booking engine.

    If guest selects dates, we only show room categories which are available for him in this time.


    If you have any further questions, feel free to reach me directly.


    Regards,

  11. Be able to create custom URLs which can be used on our website, email marketing or when communicating with our guests where we can pre-select certain fields such as their preferred dates, room type, package, number of adults and children etc

    Hi Nick,

    Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. Did you know that because overbooking’s have not been allocated to a specific space you can find them in the reservations report by grouping by space?

    There is a recorded overview of exactly how you can use this functionality in the link below:

  13. At the moment the SC number is posted at the IATA field which is incorrect.
    Please create a new field for the SC number and include it into the reporting.

    The SC number is the international ID for companies within Accor and helps to ensure to have the correct company profile selected.

    This "little" change would effect allot and would be highly appreciated not only from MOA Berlin but all Accor hotels using MEWS worldwide.

    Thank you in advance.

  14. On Google's paid networks: Search, Display and YouTube and I want to track conversions (e.g., which ads convert into confirmed bookings).

    A better approach to tags is allowing placement of Google Ads' conversion tracking code directly into Mews: 1) Booking confirmation page, and 2) Newsletter sign-up confirmation page.

    Beyond sales, tracking conversions for newsletter sign up is necessary too. For example, I can predict how much it will cost me to generate X amount of newsletter sign-ups with enough historical data. If my historical average is $3 per newsletter sign-up over 12 months, I know it will cost me about $1,000 to…

    Hello from the Mews product team,

    Thank you for your suggestion, Google Ads conversion tracking can be enabled through Google Tag Manager.

    You can install conversion tracking tag by following this guide: https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/6095821?hl=en
    (“Option 2: Use Google Tag Manager” section)

    Read how to enable Google Tag manager for your Mews booking engine: https://mews-systems.gitbook.io/distributor-guide/distributor-widget/integrations

    I hope that helps.

  15. On the body of the email the guest receives, it would be good to change the signature line in the email. We would like to change “The Mews Team” to “AutoCamp Russian River”. Our guests don't know who "The Mews Team" is and it should default to the property name.

    Hi Robert,
    thanks for your input. That makes sense! We put the property name to the signature. It should appear in production in the upcoming days.

  16. If you receive a reservation via distributor, the guest can send you a message in Mews but the hotel cannot reply?!? Than, we have to send an email and this is not stored in Mews.

    Hi Mewsers,
    if you received the message from guest via messaging service directly in PMS it was sent from guest portal, not directly from Distributor. You can easily reply on that message through messaging module directly in Mews Commander.
    You can read more in Help article: https://help.mews.com/en/articles/4245614-read-and-reply-to-messages
    I hope that helps. :-)

  17. If the arrival and departure details can be downloaded onto the online form then this would suffice for an official registration form and would eliminate the need to print a registration form on guest checkin.

    Hi Mewsers!
    Check-in can now be completely papereless. Guests can now sign digital registration cards in Navigator before arriving!

    Now, when guests check in online, they’ll provide all of their legally required info and their signature to create a digital registration card. Arrival and deprature date are the part of the registration card.

    We’ll store the signed card on the customer profile in Mews in Files section. https://help.mews.com/hc/en-us/articles/360010283757

  20. 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
