Automated incidentals upon guests arrival
In the US, upon arrival the hotel puts hold (pre-authorizes) the guest card for certain amount/night (it's usually a flat rate). They keep the money on hold and when the guest exceeds their spending (restaurant, spa charges etc that they put on their room), the system should then pre-authorize additional amount. It's like credit the hotel holds for the spending of the guest during their stay.
In other PMS systems you can program the amount either per day (i.e. $50.00 per day on top of the room & tax) or per stay flat rate (i.e. $150.00 per stay). Then, as…

Split tax for one product in mews
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 votesHello from the Mews product team.

Rounding Precision
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 = $339.22However, 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…

VAT rates are not included in the rates/getall API call at the moment
The VAT rates applied cannot be extracted through the rates/getall API call or any other calls yet.
This is the "Tax Rate" field shown when you view a rate in the Mews website.
Due to various changes over the last year, this is crucial to have for reporting.

No city tax for children and free breakfast for children
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.

keep old price button
When changing the number of people in a booking if you select KEEP OLD PRICE, the system will change the city tax and add the difference to the room price. Please change this so that the price of the room is not changed, the city tax has nothing to do with room night prices.

Registration Card Report
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…

"Exclude from offer"
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…

Rate Rules setting, as Product Rules
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.

Have products included in rate visible during the reservation process in Commander
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 101.3 votesHi Peggy,

Different Tax: local vs foreign tourists
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.

Itemized fees in distributor with "taxes and fees excluded" corrected
In the USA, it is common to have a separate cleaning fee that is billed on top of the rate. Rather than have this blended into the nightly rate, which inflates the rate when a booker is doing comps, we propose that in the latter stages of the booking process fees are itemized along with the taxes.
With that, the message displayed next to the rate that says "excluding taxes and fees" will then make sense. Right now, it is inaccurate since we're blending cleaning fees into the rate and can only make it known that the fee exists via…

Build Resort Fee option or allow products to not display within Nightly Rate total on distributor
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…

With group reservations or reservations with more than one guest profile the invoice turns out very chaotic i.e.:

Hard Coded City Tax Financial Reports in Accounting Category Additional Expense when Rebated Automatically
Currently when a GDS, OTA, TA etc cancels a reservation, the Hard Coded City Tax is rebated in the Additional Expenses Accounting Category, even when the City Taxes have been configured as "City Tax" in the Accounting Configuration -> Additional Expenses. This creates 2 separate lines in the Accounting Report (1 in the Accommodation / Additional Expense Rebate and the other in the Taxes / Rebate City Tax).

deposit
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.1 voteHello from the Mews product team.

Bring more transparency around the price displayed in Mews booking engine
Final price in Mews booking engine does not provide enough transparency to guest of what does it consist from. That leads to several problems:
- guests complain about additional charges when products are added by product rule on the background
- in multi-tax environments, the final price is sometimes inflated by taxes and fees which are added by product rules. Guest is not aware that price already include that which makes properties to look more expensive than competition
- In single-tax environments, city taxes are posted as products. In order to stay competitive, property doesn't include them in price. Guests are later complaining…
