Great that the number of stays is now shown in the returning guest icon on timeline, but it would be REALLY great (and more logical) if the number of stays was included everywhere the returning icon is displayed, like on the guest profile, reservation summary, manage reservation screen.  

Dear Community,As you may be aware, if a client is delayed and arrives the day after their original arrival date, the new arrival date is reflected in the reservations report. However, is there any report available that allows us to view the original arrival date?Thank you in advance for your assistance.Best regards, Jonathan Saavedra

Howdy, does anyboy know how to import or implent public holiday events into the timeline? In Outlook there is a way to import a simple file with this information.  

Guten Morgen,nachdem ein paar Mal Mitarbeiter statt die Rechnung neu auszustellen die Rechnungen zurückbelastet haben, habe ich die Benutzerrollen eingeschränkt. Das heißt jetzt aber für alle, dass außer mir mit Admin-Rechten keiner mehr Rechnungen ändern kann. Zwar gibt es noch die Option “als offene Rechnung neu ausstellen”, aber es gibt für die Mitarbeiter dann nur einen weißen Bildschirm. Gleiches bei “Rechnungsdetails ändern”.Generell habe ich kein Problem damit, die Rechnungen zu ändern, doch sobald ich im Urlaub bin, müssen die Gäste dann warten, bis ich wieder zurück bin, um die Rechnung zu ändern und das möchte ich den Gästen nicht zumuten. Ich kann auch nicht nur bestimmte Rechnungsänderungsoptionen freischalten, sondern nur alles oder nichts. Hat irgendjemand eine Idee, wie dies besser zu lösen ist? 

Hi all, Is there a way to configure the tourist tax for the islands of the Netherlands correctly, where the first day is paid on the ferry, and the guest needs to pay the hotel as of the second day per night/per person, with an automatic rule, so the hotel doesn’t need to credit the first day all the time ?Guy

Hello!As the title says, I’m looking to get in touch with some Hostels that are using both Mews and the Häfele Dialock lock system. I have some questions about integrating the two and your experience with getting everything to work. If you’re using these systems, or know a property that does, please let me know how I can get in touch. Thanks!

Hi all,Currently all staff members can change the room status to Inspected. I would like this to be only available for our Housekeeping Manager. Housekeeping team members should only be able to change from Dirty to Clean. Is there a way to make this possible? Thank you!

Hello Mewters!Question: I need a guest communication add-on, capable of doing few things.. I wonder if this is possible. We want to make the whole customer journey digital without any human interfering at our end. What I would need is:1) Online check-in with ID check2) Automated, unique pin codes for SALTO door locks, created and sent to guests3) is possible, we would like to make upselling in our apartments. Example: you stay in an apartment, you see a locked boxed and would like to purchase the things inside. Scan the QR code, pay, get pincode/mobile key and open the lock. How would you solve these issues? The first two are crucial, last one on the wish list. Thanks for help!Ville​​​​​​​

Hello Community,I hope this post finds you well. Today, I want to open up a conversation about a topic that's been lingering in MEWS feedback portal – the addition of a third gender option in the Guest Profiles.In the MEWS feedback portal, there are currently three feature requests addressing this issue:Add Gender as Handling Criteria for Hostels (13 votes) Add Non-Binary as Genderline Check-In (120 v

Hi ,We've encountered an issue where, when a guest adds an extra payment method via the Guest Portal, Mews automatically charges the newly added card instead of the VCC, even when the nights are meant to be paid by a VCC.This is causing a lot of problems, as guests might not expect their personal card to be charged when the virtual card from the OTA should cover the stay. We have set up proper routings for Booking.com and Expedia, so the reception knows these reservations should be paid via VCC.Has anyone else experienced this issue? I have noticed that this was an issue before but that 4 months ago it was resolved. However I’m experiencing the issue now. Thanks in advance for your insights!Best,Emilie 

Good afternoon,Is anyone else experiencing issues with the Online Check-in process displaying the upgraded room category instead of the originally booked category (named in MEWS: Requested category) ?This can create confusion for guests who may assume the upgraded room comes with an additional charge. They will not realize that it’s a complimentary upgrade offered to them.If anyone has suggestions or insights on how to address this, your help would be greatly appreciated!Thank you,Carol

dringend suchen wir die Möglichkeit, das das Sekretariat unserer Gäste die Möglichkeit hat, sowohl eine Gastadresse anzugeben als auch  eine Rechnungsanschrift, das eine brauchen wir um gesetzeskonform zu arbeiten, das andere um Geld zu verdienen. Gleiches für den Online-Check-In und -Out.  Der Gast will die Daten einpflegen, kann er aber nicht. Stattdessen müssen wir etliche Rechnungen im Nachhinein korrigieren, umschreiben, stornieren was nur unnötige Arbeit für uns und unsere Firmenkunden darstellt.  

Hi,We’ve noted that the Before Start email has disappeared from the MEWS emails?  We can’t see anything in MEWS updates about this and its still showing as an email in the Knowledge Base, so just to ask is this an update?  Many thanks

Does anyone know if it’s possible to use the same voucher code for two different vouchers with restrictions? In my case, I am trying to set up a voucher that provides 5% off all the time. However, on weekends that there is a concert in town, a second voucher will provide 10% off instead, on very specific dates that I was able to set up with restrictions.  However, I want these vouchers to be easy to use. I was thinking that if I used the same voucher code for both, when guests type that code in on our booking engine, it would bring up the appropriate rate based on the dates selected and the restrictions I have set up.  Has anyone done this before, or have an easier way to do it if this route isn’t feasible?  Thank you! 

Hi guys, how do you deal with requests for one big group doing individual reservation, paying separately.So far I’ve only had big groups doing one reservation for everyone and then we check them in individually. This request has left me puzzled. Is there an integration from Marketplace that does it, or is it much simpler than I think?Margo 

Hi, is it possible to to delete the Newsletter field at the registration form?And also to delete it completely from the Guest Profil? Thank you and kind regards.Nina

When trying to download an unpaid invoice as a PDF, Mews only offers only the option to issue a proforma invoice. However, some companies cannot make payments based on a proforma invoice. How can I generate an invoice that is not proforma?

I need to control my payments received per month. That is, matching payments to invoices. How to do it?The amount received each month does not correspond exactly to the invoices paid for the month because there are also deposits for future stays.I need to follow up on a monthly basis.Can you help :) ?

Hey everyone!I'm looking for tips and tricks on transitioning from an old-school front office to a fully self-service front office with a front office host. Anyone with experience making this shift? What were the biggest challenges and how did you overcome them? Any advice or ideas are welcome!What we have already prepared:training for employees: the new service flow, basics of the new role and responsibilities of a front office host, tasks, etc.  2 pilot-hotels: 1 with Mews Kiosk and 1 with Duve  overview of needed renovations, hardware and software Some questions I have: which solution(s) (Kiosk and/or Guest Journey) do you use and why?  How did you help guests embrace this change? Did you use specific communication strategies?  How did the new role of the front office evolve compared to the traditional front office?  How did you deal with staff resistance and did you find effective way

Hallo zusammen,wir nutzen den ‘Gäste im Haus’ Report immer für die Frühstücksliste.Und nun ist uns aufgefallen, dass dieser, trotz Auswahl ‘alle Produkte’, nicht alle Frühstücke anzeigt.Ging es ggf. euch auch schon so? Wie kann man das zuverlässig einstellen, dass wirklich alle Produkte angezeigt werden?Danke für Eure Hilfe.

Hello everyone We are looking for an integration that would help us manage our direct events and groups reservations (meaning not the “block booking” ones) and so we’re wondering if we could get any advice from you Mewsers. The idea, in a nutshell, is to be able to manage everything from encoding the reservation to the sending of the confirmation letter and/or contract Are you using one of those? With good results ? Easy to use? Is the level of encoding’s error or interface glitch with Mews acceptable ? Is the month fare interresting ? Thanks in advance for your feedback and inputs Regards to you all Stephane
