Hello dear Mews Community! We have changed our tax advisor. Until now, we worked with a physical folder, and 7 pages of the Mews accounting report were manually recorded. Now, we are transitioning to a digital exchange with a digitally equipped tax advisor. Are there any comparable hotels that digitally transfer their Mews accounting reports to their tax advisor? If so, what experiences have you had, and how do you work with Excel exports or connections from Mews to DATEV Unternehmen Online via OmniBoost? I would appreciate specific feedback. Looking forward to your insights! 

Hi, Today a guest pointed out that our booking module does not save the guest changes. So when you first select a date range with 2 adults and then view the rooms and select a room and add a child it does not save it and the booking is made only for 2 adults.  I made a screen recording wish might explain it more clearly:  

Is anyone working with the combination MEWS - Booking.com - Vostio Digital Key?We've been experiencing issues from the very beginning, and so far, no one seems able to provide a solid solution.When a guest makes a reservation through Booking.com, they automatically receive a message from MEWS prompting them to check in online and create a digital key. Most guests are able to complete the online check-in, but then they don’t see the option to generate a digital key. In cases where guests do manage to create the key, it often doesn’t work upon arrival.In general, we’re also having ongoing issues with the functionality of the digital keys. The doors don’t open on the first attempts, and after multiple tries, it might eventually work.Is there anyone else who has experienced similar issues or has found a reliable way to resolve them?

👋 Hi everyone,We’re currently considering whether it’s worth paying for the SMS service from MEWS to notify guests about the online check-in. 📲💬Alternatively, we’re thinking about using WhatsApp messages via our local chatbot partner instead. 🤖📱Both options come with pros and cons.what do you think about? 

Can anyone clarify whether revenue from availability blocks is reflected in Mews Manager Analytics, particularly in cases where none of the blocked availability has been picked up? I had understood that it wouldn’t be included until converted into actual bookings, but I’ve noticed no revenue increase even after the block was released and the spaces were booked.

 🙋‍♂️ Hi Community,Is anyone here using MARA Guest Reply along with the integration to MEWS to automatically receive guest feedback as notes in the guest profile?📩 Is the feedback only imported from Booking.com, or are other platforms supported as well?🧾 My goal is to have guest notes automatically created based on review insights.🔗 Is your MARA ↔ MEWS integration active, and💬 is it working reliably for you? 

Hello community, does anyone have experience sharing the check-in URL? We need to send through a MEWS partner and also manually the URL that MEWS generates for each guest to iniciate the online check-in process.Also, I take this opportunity to ask if this is feasible, maybe MEWS has not developed this possibility yet or prohibits it for some reason. Any information on this topic, will be appreciated. Regards, Nicolas.

Kiosk Check In Meldescheindaten können nicht abgerufen werden, daher kein digitaler Check In möglich!! Fehlermeldung.Jemand Erfahrung??

Hello Community,Are you also experiencing issues with Mews not being able to send products with the charging type set to “once” in your channel manager connection?We sometimes offer packages that include products meant to be charged only once, but we’re unable to transmit these through the CHM connection.Additionally, since our CRS only allows us to send full ARI (Availability, Rates, Inventory) - and not partial data - we can’t let partners set prices on their side while we only send availability and inventory.This limitation is significantly restricting our ability to participate in certain campaigns. Has anyone else encountered the same challenge and found a feasible solution or workaround within Mews? Thanks in advance!

Hallo, gibt es jemanden, der die Digital Key Funktion für Assa Abloy oder Salto nutzt? Wir sind aktuell dabei, zu überlegen, ob das eine Möglichkeit für uns ist und hoffe auf den ein oder anderen Erfahrungsbericht :)  Liebe Grüße, Maxi

Hi everyone,Quick question — does anyone know if there’s a way to extract a payment link from Mews without having to send it via email first? I’d like to share it with guests through WhatsApp instead.Also, if anyone has experience with this, do you know if it would still be GDPR compliant to send the link that way?Thanks a lot in advance!

Hello!I´m encountering the following problem. Most of our rates are linked to our Rack rate, hence it is the one I adjust based on occupancy. For this I usually use the occupancy chart which is directly available within the rate, for convinience purposes and to avoid having to switch between several windows.However, we do also work quite a lot with availability blocks for our group requests, also using the “optional/tentative” option for these groups. Hence, it does happen that certain room categories have a very low availability, because optional groups take over the capacity, however the occupancy shown in the rate window is still low because the group is optional and not definite. Would it be possible to include a tab in the rate window, that you can decide whether or not it shows the occupancy including optional bookings? This would be very helpful for us!Or did anyone else find a better solution? As said, we want to avoid have to constantly switch be

Hi everybody,I might need your help again with rate management — maybe there's a workaround I’m not aware of.🛏️ For example:We usually charge an additional €100 per night for a suite.In high season, this increases to €200 per night.📅 Current issue:Right now, I have to update this manually every day, because: The €100 is set as an add-on linked to the room category, while The €200 needs to be manually adjusted in the daily rate during the high season. 🤔 My question:Is there a way to apply the €200 add-on only for a specific time frame,without affecting the original €100 setup for other dates?Any tips or workarounds would be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance 🙏

Where can I find the serial number of the eAs / software app from Mews? 

I would like to adjust the email templates. Only when I look at the help article does it seem that adjusting the templates has had an update. I can only adjust the templates by changing the text; adjusting a layout does not work.Does anyone have any idea how I can also use the new feature?

Good morning ☀️Does anyone know how to add the company address on the invoice, separately from the logo?🏷️ Goal:We’d like to display the address clearly on the invoice, not just embedded in the logo image.🧾 Example placement options: 📍 Below or next to the logo in the header 📬 In a dedicated address section at the top 📄 Or in the footer area of the invoice 🔧 Issue:Right now, only the logo is visible — but we’d like the actual address to appear as editable text for clarity and compliance.❓ Does anyone know how or where this can be set up in our system?Thanks a lot in advance! 🙏

Dear community,we are managing apartments for private owners. As they all also book their holidays in their own units and want to have an overview of the OTB numbers in their unit, we are searching for a suitable integration or tool which does work with Mews. Any experiences out there? Thank you!

Hello, We use MEWS Kiosk check-in and I would like to offer lunch as an add on service to our guests during check-in process but it’s only available Monday - Friday. How do I do this in MEWS? I dont know where to start. Can someone please help? Much appreciated. RegardsRazi

Hallo Zusammen,bezüglich dieser Info wollte ich mal nachfragen ob das bei euch schon möglich ist?Wir haben versucht die E-Mails anzupassen aber bei uns wird noch die alte Variante angezeigt. Liebe GrüßeNina

Hallo zusammen,wir haben aktuell ein Problem mit den E-Mail-Templates in Bezug auf die Spracheinstellungen. Obwohl wir alle Mails in drei Sprachen hinterlegt haben (Deutsch, Englisch und Englisch (USA)), werden derzeit ausschließlich die deutschen Versionen versendet – selbst wenn die Nationalität oder Sprache des Empfängers angepasst wurde.Hat jemand von euch eine Idee, woran das liegen könnte?Vielen Dank im Voraus!Beste GrüßeMathias

Hi everyone,I'm trying to find a simple and effective way to digitally collect guest signatures for registration cards using a tablet or phone, without having to print and scan the documents.Currently, Mews sends the online check-in, and while many guests complete it, not all do. So when they arrive at reception, we scan their ID using the Mews scanner, which works great — but we quickly hit a wall:➡️ There’s no way to collect a digital signature.➡️ The only option is to print the registration card and scan it again with the signature.Honestly, I’m surprised that Mews hasn’t built a simple solution for this yet.And for those about to say "Mews Kiosk" — I get it, but not all hotels can afford the upgrade to that level. What would be great is something similar to the ID scanner tool, which opens the camera — but in this case, a feature that activates a signature pad on a tablet or the Mews terminal, where the guest can sign with their finger.

Hi, is there anybody around from Salzburg or sourindings and using the FRIVA API to connect to Feratel?
