Add guest number on first screen of booking engine
For a better customer journey, it would be very helpful to first choose date AND the number of persons per room, and then display all suitable rooms.
That would make the online booking process f.E. for families much easier. Once Age based Product pricing is released, it would make the booking process of packages for families (f.E. with children Skiticket and adult Skiticket) much easier to be displayed.
So the booking engine would work like this:
Date & number of people -> room category -> Rate & Products -> Overview -> Details

Restrict Availability to Rooms Availablie only in Conescutive Days
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.
2 votesHello 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.

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,

Display alternative availability earlier than same day next week
If there is no availability for the requested dates the distributor takes into consideration the days of the week the guest books. For instance, if they choose a weekend stay, it will narrow down on the days of the week that is chosen. This is a default setup but mostly guests would only know alternative dates 1 day before or 1 day after their originally requested dates and now they only get alternative dates for the exact same weekday as they previously requested. That does not make sense as normally guests are flexible to arrive one day before or after.…

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.

DRIVE SALES: Google Ads Conversion Tracking
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…

Video for the booking engine
the property "The Olive boutique and spa" was thinking about uploading a video/GIF in the booking engine to show the customers more about the space. I found it interesting as we are striving to increase the Mews Booking Engine and therefore, the merchant usage.

Receive of copy of the confirmation send to the guest when the booking is made on distributor
11 votesHello Mewsers,
Thank you for the feedback.
It is currently possible to receive a copy of the confirmation email when bookings are made from the Distributor. This functionality can be enabled in your stay settings by selecting the option “Order generates email”. You can use this option to trigger an automatic email notification for the relevant departments.
Should you have any questions or require more information about this functionality, please contact our customer care team.
We look forward to your continued feedback and suggestions.
Kind regards,

reply on a guest message
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.
2 votesHi 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. :-)Have a great day,

Enabling Hotjar to record and analyse booker behaviour during the booking process (Distributor).
Link Distributor directly to Hotjar so we can see how guests are engaging within the booking engine. At the moment because Distributor works on iFrames and not via a url link heatmaps and recordings stop when a guest enters the booking process.
14 votesHello, you can add hotjar to GTM, which is avaliable in our booking engine configuration. Mews team -

Alternative Payment Methods in Distributor
Many clients have chosen to enable several payment types as part of their daily operations. For this reason, they would also like to allow guests to pay using the same list of accepted payment methods when booking online via Mews Distributor and also on site at the property.
