Automatic Wait List Feature
The requested feature is that guests can register on a wait list on fully booked dates with automatic email notifications for when rooms are again available on the desired date(s).
This would remove any need for manual labor from the hotel side to handle wait lists.
Example:
- Guest tries to book a room Aug 1st - Aug 2nd
- Hotel is fully booked
- Guest opts in to our guest list by entering their email address
- Hotel opens up for bookings on Aug 1st
- Guest automatically receives email saying that the date(s) they searched for now have…18 votes -
Phone number recogniztion when booking
When guests are filling out mandatory fields in the booking engine, such as their phone number, they can fill out a number that does not exist and the booking engine will accept this as a phone number (e.g. just the number "0").
It would be helpful if the booking engine would recognize phone numbers as a valid phone number, so we have all contact details we may need from the guest after they make the booking.

Link to update credit card details
Have the possibility send a seperate, secured link just to update the credit card details (not through online check in, but prior to booking) when guests want to book through e-mail, so guests can update their cc details without having to call or send the details through email.

Average price for breakfast
When a reservation is done with 1 Adult + 1Child than the average price of the breakfast for both products will be displayed.Breakfast adults: 20€, Breakfast child 10€ then it displays 15€. This can be very confusing for guests + staff. It is better to display the price per each product and do not show the average price

Package-led sales in BE
Many properties with accommodation packages (eg. spa, activities/tours etc) want the ability to first chose the package, prior to chose the room type as this could be an "early stage" upsell in the booking flow.

Display Settlement Rules + Cancellation Policies on Booking Engine
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.

Upselling (same) products during Guest Journey
When a breakfast product (regardless of price) is attached to a reservation it should not be promoted again to the customer.
Current Mews logic: “a product will not be promoted to a guest if it is attached to the booking” - suggested change “products within the same product category will not be promoted to a guest if any product within that category is attached to the booking”.

Customizeable Email Templates
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.

Possibility to turn off bookable service in a specific booking engine
Currently we have a few services, such as bike rental, breakfast, and parking that can be added by the guests while making a reservation.
However, there are certain situations where we do not want this option to be visible for the guests. An example is guests that come for a specific conference, who book through their own booking engine.
It would be great if we can turn on/off bookable services for the specific booking engine when requested. We went through all settings, but are unable to find a way to do so.

multiple guest entry
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.

product restrictions
Allow customization on when a product should or shouldn't be shown to the guest.
Some examples:
- Don't show breakfast product for breakfast included rates
- Restrict a product in the guest journey depending on minimum/maximum advance (will allow for gradually more expensive versions of the product as it gets closer to the date of stay)
- Restrict a product for certain days of the week (only available on weekends)

Booker information
When a reservation goes through Siteminder the booker information is not added in Mews. We have alot of reservations made by a booker for a guest, when the guest arrives we only have their name and the booked details are gone so if the booker wants to pay we have to add this information manually after finding it in siteminder. its all there we just need the information to be added into Mews as well.

Autofill for Mews booking engine
I realised that the Mews booking engine does not use labels for the form (first name, last name, email address, ...). Autofill won't work properly.
Most browsers support autofill and I think Mews should make use of that. It will bring more convenience for guests.
You can find more information on this topic here: https://web.dev/learn/forms/autofill/

T&C's at the beggining of the customer's booking journey
Have the T&Cs at the beginning of the booking engine journey. They are currently on the last page - which means customers must go through all the steps before knowing what they are signing up for.

Allow to open the booking widget with a deeplink
There are currently two ways to open the booking engine and I would like to see them combined.
- Standalone: to open the booking engine with a URL on a new tab/page of the browser. It also allows deeplinks to preselect language, currency, dates, persons, category etc.
- Widget: to open the booking engine in a, iframe popup overlay by creating a button with the class 'distributor-open' and without link.
I would like to use a combination of them, so open the widget with a deeplink.
It should be as easy as adding the deeplink to a button with the class 'distributor-open'.…
