  1. When a guest e-mail address bounces, it would be helpful if and when a task is created in order to have a notification (and thus an actionable moment) for staff to verify and check the e-mail proactively, and not have the guest wait for an e-mail because of a typo...

  2. It would be helpful to have the Classification icon (most important the returner Icon) displayed in the reservation overview for the Kiosk check in the employer View.

  3. Current Rate Comparison Box in the Booking Engine does not pull data from the OTA's URL leaving room for human error especially when accounting for complex promotions and rate parity from the OTA's website.

    If one is to use it properly, they must post a percentage adjustment in the "Competitor price relative adjustment" field to display the difference in prices.

    Using the OTA URL, this should be able to complete the info in the box therefore push for more direct bookings.

  5. When we downgrade a booking from a room of higher category to a room of lower category, the reservation stays in a high category room as if it was a reservation who was in the lower category then got upgraded. It then needs to be manually reassigned to the correct lower category.

    Could you please change it so it automatically gets reassigned to a lower category room when we downgrade it ?

  6. There is currently no double authentication on the Mews booking engine. If a customer makes a mistake with their email address when booking, they will not receive any of the scheduled messages.

    This can cause confusion and doubts as to whether a booking has actually been made.

    This is a very common feature.

    I suggest integrating double authentication (twice the email address) at the end of the booking process on the booking engine.

  7. Via The booker flow, it would be useful to offer a button that can help the guests determine who is truly financially responsible for the booking Booker Vs Staying Guest. In this manner, this can also help redirect the cost of the reservation more efficiently to the one truly responsible versus the fact that it always defaults to the booker account.

    This flexibility can reduce some of the manual work on the team when they must correct the billing and find the real responsible party.

  8. We need more customization options in the mail templates. To create a new template and choose when it is sent would be greatly beneficial. We also need more options to customize the existing templates, we should be able to use all existing placeholders in all emails, so for example we could include just arrival date or number of guests, without departure date and rate.

  9. When people are entering from e.g. Google Hotel Ads the landing page is always the distributor link (technically it is not possible to link the ads to the widget integrated booking engine)

    Problem then is that users can not go to the homepage of the hotel directly.

    It is a learned & normal website usability that logos are clickable and lead to the homepage if a website.

    For me it is a must have.

  10. Ability to enter a nickname for the guest (preferred name) that is not part of their legal names, sio it would allow staff to address guests accordingly.

  11. When keeping track of a guest's journey, the notes quite often get lost in the reservation.
    Therefore we would like an add-on to have a seperate guest journey, to log every step of their reservation and safe all important details.

    This way, we know what happened and what might be important for a next shift or for their next stay.

  12. SMS package - the minimal top up amount is 50 € monthly. It should be customized to the user needs, as we were not able to spend 50 € for monthly sms usage in the past 12 months.
    There should be a smaller package available. In our case it's roughly 20-20€/month.

  13. We have a bookable service for beach chairs. When guest book this throughout their stay it creates an entirely new booking which influences our repeat business reporting and the guest profile stats on how frequently the guest has stayed.

  14. Since the new guest portal release, once a guest has checked in they are no longer able to edit their personal details including phone number or credit card.
    I'm not sure why this feature was removed? If a guest adds their info at the time of booking, it would be helpful if they can amend their own data if things were to change closer to their arrival time.

  15. When the space categories are displayed in the second step of the booking engine, it can be confusing for the guest/booker to see conflicting booking term labels. If there are different rates available, e.g. one with free cancellation and another one that is non-refundable, both of these labels (free cancellation and non-refundable) are shown before the Show rates button is clicked.

    This might create the idea that both are applicable for all the rates displayed at the next step, even if the rates are correctly labeled.

  17. When changing colors of placeholders, it still appears blue on gmail accounts. Would be great to allow the change of color to apply across all apps to make it more consistent with overall branding for each property

  18. There would be two useful improvements to the online check-out of guests.
    1. the date is not shown for additional services. For example, the guest has consumed 10 beers in 10 days. However, the guest only sees 10 beers in the online check-out. Not when he has consumed which beer. This can sometimes lead to confusion.

    1. there is no possibility to give a tip

  19. Many properties operate with a multitude of connections to distribution partners:-
    - Direct connectivity to Booking & Expedia (and I expect more in the future)
    - A channel Manager ex. SiteMinder to connect to all the others
    - A GDS / BE representing company like SynXis on behalf of Relais & Châteaux (RC) or Small Luxury Hotels (SLH)

    It should be possible when setting up Channel Managers (all of the above) or Distribution partners if this is a better terminology to indicate in the connection if a confirmation should be sent.

    I know that most OTA's will not allow for…

  20. Spaces are shown in the BE based on the rate group and cancellation policy. For a hostel with dorms, rooms and beds, this make the dorms and rooms to be displayed firt (more expensive) rather than the beds (less expensive) and potential customers are easily discouraged when they only look at the first elements shown. It would be helpful to choose wich space type show first regardless of the pricing configuration.
