  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. 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!! :)

  3. Due to corona, German VAT for food was reduced from 19% to 7%. (There were other tax reductions already last year due to corona from 19-16% and mews handled everything fine).
    Now the problem is that the product "breakfast" includes both food and drinks and therefore has to have 2 splits of tax.
    I.e. if the total price is 15€, 10€ need to be taxed with 7% and 5€ with 19%. But in the mews products, I can only put one VAT Tax per procuct.
    So some German Mews hotels add an extra product after every booking of breakfast manually…

  4. Mews rounds per item at the end down to 0.00 (inconsistent) dropping the 3rd decimal.
    Channel Manager rounds at the end down to 0.000
    US Taxes the Total Price.

    Leaves $0.01 at times from 3rd party booking engine to the PMS.

    Example:
    Rate = 299.00
    Tax @ 13.45% = 40.2155 (IBE 3rd parties round up/down)
    Total = $339.22

    However, Mews drops the 3rd decimal in the tax and returns $40.21. Therefore, the Total in Mews is $339.21 versus the IBE by 3rd parties (iHotelier and SynXis) which round up/down at the 3rd decimal.

    This results in some cases a $0.01…

  5. Create a possibility to select

    Rate - Default Rate tax rate
    Product - Default Product tax rate
    Deposit - Default deposit tax rate
    CancellationFee - CNX fee tax rate
    NoShowFee - No-Show fee tax rate
    on the Service entity.

    Use a multi-value just like on Accounting setup of enterprise.

  6. Bonjour,

    Afin de pouvoir programmer correctement mon contrat de location sur Zapier, il me faudrait pouvoir retrouver le montant total de ma réservation pour l'intégrer dans mon document légal.

    Or mews n'envoie pas cette donnée dans Zapier (impossible de la retrouver dans les zap). Pourriez vous remédier à ce problème pour que mon établissement puisse se mettre dans le l'égalité du droit de location de meublés en France ?

    Merci par avance.

  7. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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

  14. 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…

  15. 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.

  16. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. 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:

    If possible, please create an automated report.

  20. The Mews T&C's need to be accepted by the guest when making a booking via the Mews Distributor. These T&C's are in English, but some guest find that hard to read. It would be great to have this available in local languages.
