  1. Do not ask for data that is already known (e.g., from a previous step or URL parameters). This also applies to the selected dates.

    Avoid making visitors fill out the same form multiple times

  2. From the package page → package preselected in the booking module, going directly to room selection. In this flow, the package comes before choosing a room type.

    If someone selects a package with limited availability (such as the Easter package), it is important that this can be passed along so that a visitor can only select the valid dates for that package from the main domain.

    From the room page → room preselected, with packages prominently displayed as optional add-ons (possibly in a separate step). At the moment, the packages are somewhat hidden.

    The selected product should always remain visible…

  3. 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.

  4. 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

  6. Have a space to be able to add the promotion code on the rate page if customers have missed the initial search stage of the booking process.

  7. 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.

  8. It would be a great idea to implement a “+ / –” button in the Mews Booking Engine, allowing guests to select the desired quantity of certain products.
    At the moment, products such as “baby cot”, “gym access”, or “room upgrade” are usually added as one unit, which makes perfect sense. However, for other types of products like soft drinks, mineral water, or snacks, the system still defaults to one unit, even though guests may want to purchase multiple quantities (e.g., 7 cans of Coca-Cola and 6 bottles of mineral water).
    Adding a simple “+ / –” quantity selector next…

  9. Wenn wir potentiellen Gästen mehrere Zimmer offerieren wollen, wäre es cool, dass jedes Zimmer im E-Mail einzeln gebucht werden kann. Also das man entscheiden will ob es ein Gast ist mit einem Zimmer aber er möchte verschiedene Zimmeroptionen, oder ob es eine Anfrage ist mit mehreren Zimmern, welche dann alle bestätigt werden (so ist es im Moment). Es wäre sehr Hilfreich, damit der Gast nicht 4-5 verschiedene E-Mails erhält und direkt buchen kann, wenn ihm eine Zimmerkategorie gefällt.

  10. 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

  11. When making a reservation as a booker, there should be an option to determine whether the guest receives an email confirmation or not. This flexibility is particularly important for personal assistants (PAs) and corporate bookers who manage travel arrangements on behalf of others.

    In many cases, PAs prefer to handle all communication with the guest directly, ensuring consistency in information and maintaining control over the booking details. Automatically sending a confirmation from the property can sometimes cause confusion, especially if the guest was not involved in the booking process or if additional arrangements need to be communicated separately.

    Providing bookers…

  12. 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…

  13. 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.

  14. In the current Booking Engine, there is a confusing issue with how parent and child space categories are handled. Guests are able to select all beds (child spaces) within a dorm (parent space) and also select the dorm itself. However, when attempting to finalize the reservation, the system displays the following error:

    "We're very sorry, the highlighted categories are not available for the selected dates. Please select another category to proceed with your booking."

    This occurs because the system allows the selection of both parent and child spaces simultaneously, but fails validation only at the final step. This behavior is…

  15. Imagine this situation:
    Guests are early for CI and waiting for their room to be ready. This room could then be marked as "notify me about status change".
    When housekeeping changes the room status to "inspected" a notification is sent to the front office.
    Then they can call the guests and they can check in as early as possible.

  16. Our Mews booking engine is connected to Trivago, Tripadvisor and Google Hotel Ads. When a user clicks the outbound link in this channels to he is landing on our mews booking engine.

  18. Enhance the booking engine to intelligently display add-on products based on the inclusions of the selected rate. Specifically, prevent the display of the breakfast add-on when the chosen rate already includes breakfast.

    Background:
    Currently, our booking engine is configured to offer both rates including anf excluding breakfast, allowing guests to add breakfast as an optional extra if it is not included. This approach works well for rates not including breakfast. However, when a rate that includes breakfast is the only option presented, the system still displays breakfast as an add-on. This redundancy not only confuses guests but also undermines the…

  19. When choosing initial room guest can add promoted services. Once promoted service is added, if the guest wants to add another room from primary service ("+Add another item") promoted services are not offered any more.
    It would be helpfull if promoted services are always offered when choosing the item from the primary service.

  20. Only available time slots visible in booking engine on first page, not after you already have chosen a time slot on the first page (ie. if the service booked from 11-12 or 18-19, they would not be even as an alternative, but only times between 12-18 and 19-21 for example.
