  1. Our little Hotel has doors with PIN Code to allow 24h Checkin.
    We need a mandatory "Mobile Phone" field on the reservation form as a data input for the guest profile in order to later send out the Chekin PIN Codes to the guests arriving via SMS.

    We do this since 15 years now with an old booking engine. We decided to change to a new 360 PMS system and found Mews. But now in the onboarding process we had to discover that Mews has no such field. Thus we can not continue to send Checkin SMS Pin Codes to…

  2. When you check-in online you have to fill out your credit card details.
    In The Netherladns not a lot of people have a credit card, therefore a lot of people can not use this option.
    Is there a possibility to change this? Maybe by paying a deposit or just skip the credit card details?

    Thank you for your feedback. We've recently released a change enabling you to decide which rates should ask for a credit card and which rates this isn't needed. Please see our release note for details.

  3. 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

    Hello from the Mews product team. We are so pleased to let you know that your feature request has been released. Thank you again for sharing your idea!

  4. 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.

  5. As this is in the marketplace for booking.com or channel manager, we would disable the connectivity with Mews booking engine.
    It allows us to keep the quotation tool on the pms but do not have the rates online.

  6. 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

  7. 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.

    Hi 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,
    Aneta

  8. 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.…

  10. 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.

  11. 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,

    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)

    Hello,

    phone number can be now set as mandatory – you can do it in Distributor settings. How to open your distributor settings Is described in our help guide https://help.mews.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002246997%22.

    Speaking about nationality – what kind of problem are you trying to solve? Why do you need nationality mandatory?

    It is currently mandatory in Online check-in which is available for all of your guests.

  14. Receive of copy of the confirmation send to the guest when the booking is made on distributor

    Hello 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,
    Aldair

  15. 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. :-)

    Have a great day,

  16. 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.

    Hello, you can add hotjar to GTM, which is avaliable in our booking engine configuration. Mews team
  17. 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.
