  1. Would it be possible to make it optional to send emails for groups only to owner of the reservation and once? We now book rooms for groups all on 1 guestprofile. And when there are 8 rooms booked, this guest receives alle service emails 8 times.

  2. Business Impact

    Properties in jurisdictions with multiple taxes and fees have a cluttered booking experience. Displaying many individual tax lines can overwhelm guests and increase booking friction.

    Customer Problem
    On the Booking Engine, taxes are currently displayed as itemized line items. Some properties would prefer to show a single summarized tax amount by default, with the option for guests to expand and review the detailed breakdown only if desired.

    Desired Solution
    Add a Booking Engine setting that allows properties to choose between:

    • Expanded tax itemization (current behavior)
    • Collapsed tax summary displaying a single total
    • Optional expand/collapse control for viewing detailed…

  3. A placeholder character in the search bar would be great, as it would make it easier to search for names or companies when you are unsure how they are spelled.
    For example, if I'm searching for Maximilian Meyer, but don't know whether the guest is listed in the system as Max or Maxi or Maximilian and how exactly the last name is spelled. In this case, I could enter Max% M%er, for example, and the system would give me the resulting options.
    Furthermore, it would be great if you could search for several search terms at the same time to…

  4. Having important dietary information (for example) highlighted in the guest-profile recap would make the team’s daily work easier and help prevent details from being missed.

  5. The new Mews Mail Template Editor is a great step forward, and we would very much like to replace our legacy HTML templates with it.

    Unfortunately, the current way prices are presented prevents us from doing so. In its current form, the pricing information lacks the level of transparency guests expect and creates unnecessary confusion. We believe the following improvements are essential.

    1. Display nightly rates

    At present, each room only shows the total accommodation price.

    With dynamic pricing now being the industry standard, nightly rates often vary significantly. Showing only the total amount makes it impossible for guests to understand…

  6. We have some standard e-mails to guests; i.e.
    * if someone brings a dog, we send them a message where dogs are allowed and where to go for a walk
    * if there is a party with possible noise on their booked date, we inform them in advance and offer them a free upgrade
    * if they rent a bicycle, we explain them where to find this and how to return
    etc.

    It would be great if we can set these as our own templates in various languages so we can send them from Mews as soon as we receive…

  7. Wir brauchen eine Möglichkeit in Mews in unserem Schließsystem Vostio eine Duplikatskarte zu erstellen. Mit Mews ist es nur möglich, eine neue Schlüsselkarte zu erstellen so dass alle vorher erstellten Karten ungültig werden.

  8. Now there is the possibility in Mews for upselling, for offering products to customers and for service promotions. This is confusing for those handling the set-up for the online check-in.

  9. It would be really useful to have an option to shorten booking links directly within the platform, without having to rely on external websites like bit.ly or others. Currently, the booking link in Mews can get very long, which isn't ideal for sharing.

    I think this addition would improve the user experience, making it more efficient and streamlined.

    Thanks for considering this!

  10. Problem:
    The Booking abandoned email sends even when the guest has already completed a successful booking. The usual cause is a payment retry. A card is declined, the guest immediately books again with a different card, and the first attempt still auto-cancels as abandoned minutes later. The email then tells a confirmed guest to finish booking, and some guests reasonably conclude that the reservation being referenced is the good one they just made.

    A recent example from our property. The first attempt was created at 7:27 PM and payment did not complete. The guest rebooked successfully at 7:33 PM. The…

  11. Feature Request: Email Draft/Error Notification

    I would like to suggest a new feature.

    Could we add a pop-up notification for emails that have not yet been sent? This would make it immediately visible when an email is still pending and not sended, giving users the opportunity to review and correct any mistakes, such as spelling or grammar errors.

    I believe this would help prevent accidental mistakes and improve the overall quality of outgoing emails.

  12. Currently we need to trigger 2 emails to send confirmation to a booker and guest. Both emails only trigger data for that specific profile type. We want to populate the confirmation email with both profile types (booker and guest)).

  13. The problem
    In Austria — and likely in other jurisdictions with a local tourist/bed tax — certain guests are exempt from the tax. A common case is business travellers or contract workers who become exempt after a set number of nights (for example, from the 3rd night onward under some municipal rules).

    Today there is no way in Mews to flag a guest or a reservation as tax-exempt on the registration form / guest report. As a result, properties have to report these exemptions to their municipality manually, outside of Mews. This is time-consuming, easy to get wrong, and has…

  14. The fields for travel documents / IDs currently contain a field labeld "Issuing city". However, this does not make any sense, because most passports and ID cards do not have a field "issuing city". Instead, as for example required by law in Austria, a field "Issuing Authority" would be required.
    Therefore, I recommend to add a field "issuing authority" and make it default in jurisdictions where this is required to collect. Make "Issuing city" hidden or optional.

  15. With the upcoming introduction of an eID in Switzerland, the ID/Passport scanning function should be updated to be able to read QR codes and access Switzerland's eID system.

    Also online check-in should allow guests to connect their eID if wanted, next to manually filling in all data.

  16. Currently, there is no way to customize different booking engines with different product selections and pricing.

    For example, the default booking engine could show standard products and prices for regular customers, while a travel agent’s booking engine could show products specific to that agent, such as a dinner package with a negotiated seasonal price instead of the regular public price.

    This would make booking engines more flexible and better suited for different sales channels, partners, and customer groups.

  17. Current Behavior

    • Total Spent is based on historically consumed and closed items.
    • The value remains unchanged after refunds, rebates, write-offs, or revenue corrections.
    • There is no visual indication that part or all of the revenue contributing to the metric has since been adjusted.
    • Users may incorrectly interpret the figure as a net lifetime spend amount.

    Impact

    • Guest lifetime value can appear artificially inflated.
    • Staff may make business decisions based on inaccurate assumptions about guest spending history.
    • Support teams frequently need to explain why the displayed value does not align with accounting reality.
    • Reduced trust in profile insights when financial corrections…

  18. The new Upsells section released in December 2025 could benefit from clearer information. Currently, if the Online booking touchpoint is enabled for an upsell and an automatic task is also enabled, the task is not created as expected.

    Support has advised that automatic tasks currently only apply to kiosk check-ins, not when a guest adds an upsell via the online booking engine. This isn’t obvious from the current setup and can easily lead to confusion.

    It would be helpful if this limitation were clearly communicated or, ideally, improved. For example, if a guest adds a Romantic Bed Setup during the…

  19. Description:
    Currently, Mews does not support applying voucher codes to service promotions linked to a stay service in the Internet Booking Engine (IBE). While vouchers work correctly for standalone bookable services (e.g., parking rates), they are ignored when the same service is added as a service promotion to a stay service.

    Use Case:
    We frequently offer our corporate guests customized or free parking rates. To streamline this process, we need the ability to apply voucher codes to service promotions, ensuring:
    -Automatic rate adjustments based on the voucher.
    - Accurate inventory management (via bookable services).
    - Self-service booking for guests through…

  20. A button to restrict a reservation regardless of rate code to do a self check in via kiosk. For example if there is a preordered vip sparkling wine etc to be delivered to room or if there is a issue with the payment that needs to be resolved via staff. By choosing to restrict self check in via kiosk the guest would be asked to see the staff to do a check in.
