  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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).

  4. When receiving a message in commander app option should be available to display message as a translation ... eg message sent in english might display an option to show as a translation to a preselected language in the settings. Click on a "translate from english to X language" button and that will display as X language using google translate.

  5. 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…

  6. The Navigator Website has several different languages available. However, every guest that does not speak English will get the google translate notification. If a guest enables this option, any language will get translated to the selected language. For example: German to German, which results in an unreadable text.

    This is highly recommended especially for German houses. In some text it even says "you die".

  7. 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, ....

  9. 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.

  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 some cases rates are offered/contracted including city tax. It would be nice if reservations department can select a rate with city tax already included instead of having to calculate and deduct the city tax (which in our case is dependent on the number of guests and booked meals) from the rate first.

  13. 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).

  14. The VAT Act is very specific regarding the requirements for a Tax Invoice to be valid for VAT purposes. As per the SARS website (https://www.sars.gov.za/ClientSegments/Businesses/Government/Pages/Tax-Invoices.aspx) the following information is required on the document:

    As from 8 January 2016, the following information must be reflected on a tax invoice for it to be considered valid:
    • Contains the words “Tax Invoice”, “VAT Invoice” or “Invoice”
    • Name, address and VAT registration number of the supplier
    • Name, address and where the recipient is a vendor, the recipient’s VAT registration number
    • Serial number and date of issue of invoice …

  15. The button "Proceed to checkout" is now translated as "Proceder con el check-out" in spanish and "Procedi al checkout" in italian. However I find these translations a bit confusing as the spanish and italians are not really familiar with this english expression. "Ir al pago" o "confirmar reserva" (in spanish) and "procedi al pagamento" or "conferma prenotazione" in italian, would be a better translation. Furthermore, I've seen in a video of Mews University, that this button was "ir al pago" in spanish and I wonder why it got changed.
    Thank you!

  17. Must be splited on three different levels and presented to the guest with split details. Paris for instance :

    "Town" tax : 5% per night
    "Departemental" tax : +10%
    "Local" tax : +15%

    Stay tax must be automatically deducted for under 18 years old
