  1. When we make a manual booking for a rate that requires a downpayment the "Automatic settlement failed" email is sent out if there is no credit card attached.

    This, in itself, is a good thing. However it is often unclear for the guests how much they have to pay. They's have to find back the original booking confirmation (might have been months ago) and look through the rate description to figure out how much they have to pay.

    A simple placeholder for the amount that the automatic settlement rule was supposed to have taken would be great for these cases.

  2. Add a QR Code or so to the rooms, so the guest can use the direct chat to get in contact with the Hotel from the room and just just via the Emails.

  3. If there was a report that is schedulable, that would show all loyalty members who are departing today, to make manual point posting easier and provide more accurate reports.

  4. The current UX/UI design and flow is not logical, at least to me. When entering a guest name into the search bar or clicking a guest name - you are taken to the profile tab instead of directly to the guest dashboard (where you can access every tab, closed bills, rebates, refunds, past stays, and future stays).

    Currently, you are creating more steps than it should be - by having the page that you're being directed to - be the users profile instead of the dashboard.

    If you program the backend to direct the user to the guest dashboard instead…

  5. Guests would need to try and book slots hoping there is availability. In high demand services this would mean several tries to book a time slot until sucessful. Better option would be to allow properties to display their availability for hourly services too for a better UX

  6. Due to New Zealands legal environment we cannot turn off the requirement for the details of every guest staying in a room when checking in via the kiosk.

    As you can imagine if a guest books a three bedroom ********* for her and the children she doesn't want to spend all the time required to fill in details for each of her children just to proceed with the check in. We as a property also do not require this.

    We no longer use kiosk for this reason as guests become too frustrated.

  7. Currently - settlement + cancellation policies are not visible to the guest in the booking engine. So for each rate code - we have to manually insert text to describe this in multiple languages.
    Most other Booking Engines display these rules by default during the booking-process online. Mews should be able to auto-generate this text - in multiple languages.

    The proposed solution would remove potential mismatch/errors between text & rules , save time for the user, and create a more sellable text to display rather than focusing a lot of the text to rules regarding the reservation.

  8. We use the passport scanner / ID scanner when we check our guests in at our hotel, it makes the check-in process so much easier for us and the guests. When we started using the scanner, the German ID cards worked the best, but now they don't work at all and the scanner just keeps loading.
    Please fix this soon.

  9. I design websites for hotel and am working on the first site where Mews needs to be integrated. It surprised me to see that it is not possible to link to a specific room or package in the booking engine.

    Every hotel website I worked with wants a page on their where they describe and promote their room types and packages. It makes perfectly sense to add a [Book now] button to that description, which raises the expectation that you can directly book that room type or package with a click on that button.

    Unfortunately this is not possible with…

  10. Currently any direct reservations cannot have a date change action completed by the guest. The only option is to cancel and rebook. Or contact the property to change the booking stay dates.
    Other PMS and OTA tools have this functionality, can this please be developed so the guest has full control of their reservation?

  13. Unfortunately, it is not possible to book an extra on a specific day on your online booking.
    This is quite problematic for us as one of our extras is the Saturday buffet, which of course we only sell on Saturdays.
    The same with Christmas menu. This is also only served on Christmas Eve 😊

    At our Place we only sell minimum 2 nights stay.

  15. It would be idea to have guest arrival flight details and departure flight details in the reservation dashboard where the check in time is. Other PMS systems do have this option. We offer airport pickup and drop off so being able to generate a report with this information will be useful.

  16. when booking multiple rooms, it should become possible to add ALL names for the rooms, especially when different room types are combined.

    we have several corporate clients for whom we provide a seperate booking engine, and they sometimes book multiple rooms at once but do wish to specify the name per room booked.

  17. The ability to make just one request via the booking engine. Not every hotel wants the guest to always be able to book directly. Sometimes you only want to see the availability of the rate and category.

    Example:
    Especially for other services or spaces such as meetings and events, you should only be able to see the information and the hotel then decides how to handle the request.
    Smaller hotels that also sell the entire house do not always want to receive direct inquiries.

  18. For example if a guest, which stayed with us in the past, is booking through another website we have him as a new customer in our system.

    It would help us, if the system could create a notice f.e.: “Customer name already exists!” Then we can have a look if it’s the same customer, and we merge the profiles, or not.

  19. Wenn über die Buchungsmaske eine Reservierung gemacht wird, und der Gast bucht einen Blumenstrauß, Massagen oder E-Bikes, dann sollte eine Aufgabe erstellt werden.

  20. Customise timing of when email templates are sent. For example, allow a 'before start' to be sent 24hrs prior or 72 prior to arrival. Also, the option to create new templates from scratch to incorporate upsells and other emails for the customer journey.

    If 'Before start' is not enabled to send, allow a Check-in reminder to be sent separately. I understand now that this can only be achieved if Before Start is enabled.
