  2. Would be easier to just add breakfast and city tax in case it's necessary than having to counterbook it with every single reservation where children are involved.

  4. Let's take for an example the hotel "Hôtel Golf Château de Chailly".
    After calling the "rules/getAll" and "products/getAll" we see that the product "6c5ed799-2e8a-4a18-8325-ac7a0086a886" is applied for "ResourceCategoryType" equals to "Room" and "Suite". But it's not added to the price displayed on the booking engine, for example, for tarif "7c58c0e7-64f2-41d6-aaff-ac6f00c31da1" and room "7599d179-e235-4894-9310-ac6f00c320ff".

    You colleague explained us that this product is the city tax. And as this product has the option Exclude price from offer so only the price of the room will appear on the distributor.

    But how can we know if the product has this option (Exclude from…

  5. Would be nice to have a Rate Rules settings (as also Product Rules) to be able to make more tailor made rates. At this moment we use the Rate Rules settings to setup rates, but this results in wrong city tax, because the Product Rules settings are not included in the (hard coded) city tax calculation.

  6. When making a new reservation in Commander, there is no way to see a breakdown of the product(s) included in the rate until after the reservation is confirmed.
    This is even more confusing when the product price is added to the rate. For example if the rate is EUR 100 per night and a compulsory city tax of EUR 1 per night is automatically added, there is no way for me to see instantly why I selected a EUR 100 but the total value of the booking is EUR 101.

    Hi Peggy,

    Thank you for the clarification. We have updated your request and set it as one to be upvoted by the Mews Community.

  7. We should have a unified solution for updating the cost of items that are outside of EHW or closed on a bill. For example in some Legal Environments, taxes are applied based on the length of reservation. Upon the change of length, taxes should be updated on all nights.
    This should be somehow reflected in reports and values such as average night rate etc.

  8. City taxes amount is different between adults and children, and among children based on their age.
    Would be useful to create a rule that recognises the different kind of partecipants and their age among children, showing, then, the different amounts due

  9. Some countries require to collect different tax based on the nationality of their guests. Local (national) tourists pay less taxes than foreign tourists.

    Example of such country is Peru. Since Mews is live in Peru, this feature would be great to have.

  10. in the UK the VAT drops from 20% to 4% from the 29th night.. which is currently happening in Mews however the total amount doesn’t change just the internal split changes. So properties are not able to pass the benefit of the reduced tax to guests which ideally they should do or at least would like to do.

  11. Some guests have valid government documents which exempt them from paying any lodging taxes, etc. (VAT etc). There should be some checkbox that allows for the room rate to stay fixed but no taxes to be posted as liabilities.

    There should be a separate report of such reservations per month as well.

  13. In order to successfully use Google META Search, the VAT and all city taxes should be displayed at some point during the booking process in the booking engine. This is a requirement from Google when you want to use META Search: https://support.google.com/hotelprices/answer/6064432?hl=en

    If you don't have this, your website might be penalized, because the hotel is not allowed to show in the top positions in META.

  14. It would be interesting to be able to enter the tourist tax with a unit or relative amount for adults, and to have the possibility of setting exemption categories such as: "children under the age of 12, invaled, police, etc.". also have the possibility to insert a period of applicability for seasonal hotels (Sea, Mountain).

  15. In most of the United States, if a guest stays longer than 30 days in a row, then their entire stay is no longer eligible for lodging taxes. Most PMS systems then refund the entire tax liability for the month and credit it to the guest folio. All room nights for any reservation with over 30 days is tax free after the guest has actually stayed for 30 days.

    This needs to be a feature that is rolled out in Mews sooner rather than later if Mews wants to scale into mid-sized hotels which often see corporate travelers stay longer…

  16. When a stay is extended and the original bill (with the city tax) was already closed, no city tax is automatically added on the new bill for the extended nights.

  17. For Amsterdam Properties, the virtual Credit card amounts are for less than the full price since the guest needs to pay the 3 euro tourist tax upon arrival. I wonder if the automatic charging could read the amount imported under credit card information.

  19. Remove the need to generate an Invoice if the prepayment (Deposit) was 100% of the stay.
    Currently, if we generate a Deposit to add the customer prepayment we need to generate the Invoice (in advanced) with the IVA tax (it may be country specific).
    Even if the prepayment covers 100% of the customer bill we still need to generate a second Invoice (zero amount) after checkout to be able close the bill. This second Invoice is time consuming and very confuse.

  20. It would be helpful to add a field with calendar format to register guest date arrival into the country. At least in southamerica we need to know how many days a pax is staying in the country since arrival for tax requirements in order to have correct payments amounts.

    Otherwise, costumizable fields for guest profile with formats (calendar, open field, others).
