  1. There is a specific "Counter" in Mews for the registration cards, but there is no report we can get sorted by Registration Card Number.

    In our case, we must register each guest (using a correlative registration number) at the time of check in.

    One of the reasons is that the Authorities / Country Administration requires from the hotel, a city tax report that consists in a list of guests sorted by registration number, that includes personal information and details of the stay.

    If we can get a list of invoices in Mews (using the Invoice Counter), why is it not…

  2. 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…

  3. 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.

  4. Make the invoice clearer by not putting taxes etc. on each item/line but only at the bottom of the invoice.
    Or if you need details in some countries, give us the possibility to choose the presentation style

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  9. We use resort fees at our property and have product rules in place so they are automatically attached to rate groups however this is never displayed on the distributor. It only appears once the reservation has been booked and can seem to some guests as a 'surprise fee' if they do not read the fine print.

    Would be best to have a resort fee option built or be able to include products on distributor without them being displayed as an addition to nightly rate but within the 'Fees and Taxes' section.

    The option to include price in offer does not…

  10. In Finland hotels must provide a monthly report on guest that have stayed at a property. The report can be created manually, however there is a possibility that the report can be created automatically.

    You can review this information here:
    http://www.stat.fi/meta/til/matk_en.html

    If possible, please create an automated report.

  11. 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.

  12. In Germany, we are legally required to send a monthly report of used and offered roomnights and nationalities to the authorities. In my last training, I found out that there is such a feature/integration already existing for Belgium, Switzerland and Italy etc. Can we please also have this for Germany so not every Hotelier has to check and calculate various reports to get all the information?
    That would be a great thing!! :)

    Hi Trini,

    Thank you vey much for your feedback.

    We are currently looking into integration providers such as AVS to provide statistical information for properties in Germany and would greatly appreciate your insights with regards to this.

    Please contact me via email so that we can look into your request further? In the interim, this request has bene updated as one to be upvoted by the Mews Community.

    Thanks & regards,

  13. All properties in the Alto Adige region have to report to the Landesverband der Tourismusorganisationen Südtirols (LTS) extranet. The following information must be reported per reservation or even per guest and it takes a lot of time to manually enter. Clients in this region would prefer automatic reporting.

    Information reported via LTS portal:

    Police Report
    ISTAT
    City Tax
    Brixen Card: Holiday card for guests plus all public transport of the South Tyrolean integrated transport network (this is offered in Bressanone province). Also requested from some Austrian clients.

    Hello Mewsers!

    Thank you for the suggestion. We have updated the status of your request to an idea to be upvoted by the Mews Community.

    You can share a link to this request with your colleagues and fellow hoteliers so that they too can upvote the request.

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. 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.

  18. 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…

  19. 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.

  20. Please use ISO country codes. There are countries with code GB, and reports, bills, customer profile following comes out: United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
    It occupies 3 lines on an invoice; each report pulled in excel has a wide gap to type the whole country name.
    Please change system as I think most people working in hotels, hostels, campings, and so on, are very well aware of country codes such as: CH, IT, DE, GB, US, CI, ....
