  1. I realised that the Mews booking engine does not use labels for the form (first name, last name, email address, ...). Autofill won't work properly.

    Most browsers support autofill and I think Mews should make use of that. It will bring more convenience for guests.

    You can find more information on this topic here: https://web.dev/learn/forms/autofill/

  2. Currently we are only able to upload one logo, which is used both in the top left of the booking engine, as well as the top of the email templates. As a result, we are stuck with a logo that works for one or the other, but not both.

    We would like to be able to set separate logos, so we can tailor them to the exact purpose they are being used for.

  3. Possibility to store an image behind each step in the booking engine. Otherwise, it currently looks very dreary and half-furnished.

  4. we would like to offer our breakfast online for campers. Due to the different VAT rates, 2 items must currently be posted (share of drinks, share of food). This is of course too cumbersome for the guest.

    Is there a way that I can create a product when the guest books (e.g. breakfast camping 15,-) and Mews automatically splits this booked service into two products?

  5. Have the T&Cs at the beginning of the booking engine journey. They are currently on the last page - which means customers must go through all the steps before knowing what they are signing up for.

  6. Add restrictions by occupancy levels or similar logic.
    Like: apply minimum stay or close if occupancy >= 80%.
    We can apply this logic in most channel managers, but not in Mews. Would be great to have the logic applied in the PMS - and not through 3rd party.

  7. We should be able to create a booking engine for companies, where booking is only possible if you have a voucher code. This prevent guests withour a company agreement to book without giving credit card information.

  8. Could we add a descriptive text to the landing page, so we can clarify any current promotions or restrictions? Ie. “Accepting reservations for Summer 2024 now” - anything that would help prevent guests from selecting date selections that are in a blackout or have particular restrictions (ie. we do not allow Saturday check-in, so selecting any dates that begin on Sat returns no availability).

  9. To have the possibility to set a minimum required information for new reservations booked trough the booking engine: that every room booking requires name, phone number and email address of one of the staying guest.

  11. Currently we are able to set up a booking engine for each bookable service, and even select which rooms/rates we want to display per engine. Works great!

    However, the only branding/names displayed in the booking engine are the company name, and the room type name.

    If you have double rooms in two different bookable services, under the same company. It get's a little bit confusing for the guest as to which actual place it is that they are booking.

    A custom name would be great, or an (optional) subheader with the bookable service name would also suffice.

  12. There are currently two ways to open the booking engine and I would like to see them combined.

    1. Standalone: to open the booking engine with a URL on a new tab/page of the browser. It also allows deeplinks to preselect language, currency, dates, persons, category etc.
    2. Widget: to open the booking engine in a, iframe popup overlay by creating a button with the class 'distributor-open' and without link.

    I would like to use a combination of them, so open the widget with a deeplink.

    It should be as easy as adding the deeplink to a button with the class 'distributor-open'.…

  13. Integrate with Airbnb, Expedia and Booking.com directly including Chat API so that we can have a universal chat experience for our guests, currently we are having to use a clunky external system that provides a unified inbox.

    But it would be SOOOO much better if this was integrated directly into MEWS.

  14. Create the option for a guest photo to be added to the Internals - Guest Notes section of MEWS please.
    The new update is great with categorized notes.
    Being able to upload a picture of our VIP and regular guests would be really helpful

  15. After booking, it would be nice if there was an option to send the confirmation details (including name of guest) to a secondary email as well.

    This is similar to airline bookings where you can send booking confirmation to additional email addresses afterwards as well, such as a company admin, additional family members, etc.

  16. On results page, the number of searched adults is located on a separate event (ga4FetchedWithOccupancy) from the event containing a Data Layer with searched dates, availableRooms, prices, currency. Include the searched adults number in the data layer of ga4CategoriesLoaded

  18. Instead of listing the total price for multiple nights, which often averages out to include messy cents, list each nightly rates for the length of their stay so the pricing is clean.

  19. Add additional field to the availability block to communicate details on the booking link. Right now, guests with booking link cannot book pre and post dates. Guests using the link do not know that and get upset. If there was a field linked to the booking link, we could add a Welcome, specify block dates, and cut-off dates, along with who to contact to book outside of the block.

  20. Mews currently does not allow restricting minors to be booked into selected room/space types. For example allowing a child to be booked to shared dormitories and especially as the sole traveler is in a breach of regulations in number of countries.

    Feature to add - option to select per space type to allow minors to be booked in and also whether only as secondary occupant to an adult or as sole occupant.
