Hello all,
This status update is part of our ongoing work to simplify and streamline how our UserVoice feedback forum operates. We are reducing the number of statuses to two (Idea to Upvote + Released) to help manage expectations about where each idea stands and to minimize the number of status updates required from our product teams. Our product team reviews everything you share, and we might reach out for more info if we need it.
Thanks for your patience as we work to bring your ideas to life! You can learn more about the changes coming to UserVoice from this post in the Mews Community.

Booking Engine: Reduce Cart Abandonment by Shortening the Booking Journey
Current Flow >> Guests go through multiple steps:
""Dates → Room Selection → Rates + Upsell → Summary → Details → Payment Confirmation""
*Extra Pages create more opportunities for guests to drop off.
*For example, the Summary page seems to act as an extra confirmation step before entering guest details and payment.
*Fewer clicks and transitions mean less friction and fewer chances for abandonment.
*Combining certain pages/elements might also have a better customer experience.2 votes -
Open Bill Error + Clearing Guest Data in a Portfolio or Multiproperty
When a portfolio includes more than 1 property, the current process requires checking each property individually to locate the open bill. Imagine a chain with 100+ properties. This approach is highly time-intensive and introduces unnecessary operational overhead.
Ideally, if the system detects an open bill anywhere in the portfolio chain, the error handling logic should surface the specific property ID with that open bill directly in the error message. This would significantly reduce manual effort, improve troubleshooting efficiency, and deliver a better user experience by providing actionable information upfront.

Tasks auto filtered by user and/or department
We use Tasks and find it a very useful tool. However, at the moment, all staff who log in to Mews can see every Task, regardless of which person or department it has been assigned to. This increases the risk of something being overlooked. In addition, there are situations where you may want to comment on a Task addressed to, for example, management, and you don’t want everyone to be able to read it.
My suggestion is that Mews should be filtered so that each user only sees Tasks related to their own department/group and/or assigned directly to them.2 votes -
Bildschirmschoner
Aktuell steht auf dem Bildschirmschoner der Tablets die für den Kiosk genutzt werden "hier einchecken". Daher nutzen die Gäste das Tablet aber nicht für den Check-out. Wir können den Bildschirmschoner auch nicht deaktivieren. Es wäre gut, wenn man den entweder individuell gestalten könnte oder auch die Check-out Funktion sichtbar ist.

Higher sensitivity on the Match and merge screen for merging guest profiles
Despite the Match & Merge screen for guest profiles, we unfortunately often still have duplicates of guest profiles. It would be very helpful if you could influence the number of matching fields that cause the guest profiles to appear in the Match & Merge screen. Ofcourse this would increase the number of suggestions, but we would have less chance of duplicate guest profiles.

Check in through QR Code
To streamline the check-in process, especially for large groups, we propose implementing a QR code system:
Guests scan a QR code that directs them to the hotel’s guest portal.
They can complete online check-in by entering their first and last name.
This allows faster processing for groups compared to relying solely on the 6 available kiosks.
For individual arrivals, the current solution using a personalized online check-in link via email remains available.
This approach provides flexibility: efficient group check-in through QR code scanning while maintaining the personalized option for single guests.

Allow an owner of a group reservation the ability to complete OCI for all other reservation within the same group
Allow an "organizer"/ single reservation owner from a group of reservations (all with their own owner) the ability to perform OCI and provide CC for incidentals for other reservations/owners in the same group of reservations.
Currently the owner of a reservation in the same group with different owners can only perform OCI for their own reservation and not on behalf of anybody else contained within that same group of reservations.

Option "Last Name Only" in the Mews Kiosk setup
We selected the option "Last name only" for the question: "Chooses what guests need to find their reservation". Still when the guest enters an error in the name, a confirmation number is requested. This is confusing and not in line with what was asked. Rather than prompting for the confirmation number, the kiosk should re-display the previous screen, requesting to enter the last name. Now there is no easy way to get back to this screen.

Preferred space features
The preferred space features of the internal > guest profile, should be the same as those we customize for bookable services. This would make this feature really useful. Otherwise, I don't think we're providing the right experience for the guest.

Allow promo codes on multiple rate groups
In the booking engine we are offering the promo code option for direct bookers to receive instant discount. However this is only possible on 1 rate group, leading to stacked OTA (member) offers sometimes being more favorable.
It would be great if we can develop a way to link 1 promo code to 2 rate groups to prevent this from happening

Enhance Calendar Functionality in Booking Engine to Improve Guest Experience in the LLMs (such as ChatGPT) and Reduce Conversion Loss
Why this matters:
At the moment, LLMs (like ChatGPT) and meta search platforms tend to redirect users to OTAs like Booking.com instead of our direct Booking Engine. This shift is largely due to a suboptimal booking interface, which contributes to significant commission losses. Improving the calendar UX would not only support direct conversions but also make our engine more competitive in AI-driven booking flows.Description:
The current date-selection tool in the Mews Booking Engine lacks clarity and usability, which leads to guest confusion and booking abandonment. We'd like to propose the following improvements:A more intuitive calendar interface that allows…

MinLOS
When setting up a MinLOS, the booking enigne mentions "no availability".
This is misleading for guests since you can book, but only for 2 nights (in our example). There should be a pop up saying that there is a MinLOS for the requested date.2 votes -
show the outstanding balance in the guest portal
The Pay Now vs Pay Later option is the only tool that displays remaining balance in the Guest Portal and it only works for customers with scheduled payments. There should be a way for customers to see their remaining balance before and during OCI.

Review guest details in kiosk for recurring guests.
When a recurring guest arrives for check-in and finds his booking in the kiosk, he only has to authorize in the last step as his details are already known in our system. These details are not shown to the customer though. His Id or address might not be correct anymore so he is not sure which data he is authorising.

allow guest to log in and easily make new reservations
It would be nice if a customer could log in to their profile, allowing them to make additional or later bookings without having to add all their contact info again.

Visible prices on booking engine
On booking engine, show lowest room rate on each date + a clear indication of minimum nights. Lots of other booking engines and airlines allow for this. Great tool to increase occupancy on quieter, future dates.

Feature Request: Enable Reservation Management When Booking for Someone Else
Currently, when using the MEWS reservation portal, clients who book a room for someone else (by selecting "I am booking for someone else") are not able to manage the reservation afterward. This includes essential actions such as modifying dates or canceling the booking.
To work around this, clients are selecting "I am booking for myself", even when reserving for another guest. While this allows them to manage the reservation, it results in the reservation being confirmed under the wrong name—that of the email/account holder—rather than the actual guest. This creates confusion for both the hotel staff and the end guest,…
