Ich musste zwei Anzahlungen für eine Anzahlung korrigieren, da sie falsch abgerechnet wurde und habe die Rechnung storniert dabei entstand eine Rückerstattung, die allerdings nicht rückerstattet werden soll und habe das auch storniert. neu gebucht um es richtig zu fakturieren, allerdings habe ich jetzt zu viele Sachen und finde mich nicht mehr zurecht. 

Is there a way to make the notes in guest profiles more visible or to have like a pop up once you open a profile or reservation? I would love the pop ups so reservation agents don’t forget to look into the notes

Dear Mews freaks here,does anyone have the same problem as me? If there is a direct reservation from a customer or is a returning customer who has a credit card in his customer record an automatic mail is still sent to the customer to say that there is no credit card in the system for him even though he has given it on the phone. Is there any way to do this when a reservation is made for a returning customer that the credit card is automatically linked to the new reservation? And furthermore, when we are checking in a customer, Mews indicates that no pre-authorization was made for the reservation even though it is present in the system. Is there any way to avoid this. Hope someone can help me with this? Robin 

How can I add more custom payment types? E.g. for AIRBNB payouts (reservations fully paid by AIRBNB), what “payment type” can I use? I want to use “AIRBNB” as a payment type, but there is nothing similar.

Is iot correct that our corporate guests cannot cancel their reservation through the booking engine, even though the reservation is made through the booking engine ? 🤓

Hello, I want to build an availibilty calendar on my hotel website. For that I wanted to use the services/getAvailibilty API Route. Mews Support said to me that I need register a private integration in order to use it. But for that I would have to become a Mews Partner. Do have to that really just to use the API? Thanks.

Hi can anyone help?we had a guests physical card charged when there was a virtual on their file, when the checked in online. Is this something that is common?

Hello, I am new to Mews. I wanted to know how to activate the “alternative payment methods” plugin for the Mews Booking Engine Widget. Thanks

Hello,We use parking as a bookable service. Just like the hotel, it has a timeline. The hotel timeline shows; the parking timeline does not. Anyone can help? Thank you!

Hi hope someone can help.We are going to be updating our rates that are currently set up. When we include a New item, the old item is not deleted from a booking already in the system. This means we have to go into each individual booking and cancel the item we don’t want included anymore. Can anyone suggest another way to do this to make it easier?

Hi :)We want to offer our guest a 10% discount if they sign up for our newsletter.How can we do that ?If i make a voucher i Mews, they can use it many times. But i want the voucher to be valid for just one booking.

How do you handle guest profiles if they pass away? Is there a best practice?Unfortunately there is no classification for that right now which would make sense i guess. So right now we remove all mailing checkboxes (newsletter, postal) and add a guest notice.

Hi all, Is there anyone that really uses the Mews Analytics here?In my opinion it’s way to slow. Most of the time you have to made about 10min before all data is loaded.If you change one of the filters or want to dive deeper, it takes ages again to load… It's so bad, you often just get errors that data cannot be loaded due to a timeout. Who has time to wait so long if you just want to look something up quickly? Anyone here that has a different experience and is actually able to use this feature properly?

Hi everyone, Does Mews have a report where the booking window is displayed?I would like to know how short (or long) in advance guests book rooms, and preferebly where they book it (their origin).Is there some sort of report already available? Thank you in advance! Robin Lindaart

HiI'm going live with Mews next week and would like to know how you’ve set up Expedia and Booking. Expedia:I’ve created all the brands as companies with travel contracts. I want to make sure that bookings made through Expedia Collect are routed properly, so the team knows that these bookings have already been paid by the guest to Expedia.I’ve also made a special rate plan for Expedia VCC because we charge the credit card the day before arrival (we need full payment since our reception isn’t open 24/7, and guests must pay before accessing their room). The problem is that the VCC is only valid on the day of arrival. Now, I’m considering deleting this rate plan and relying on the routing for all Expedia Collect travel agents instead. I’m curious about how you set up your rate plans and routing for Expedia. Do you have separate rate plans for Expedia Packages, business rates, mobile, etc.? Booking:We have a mandatory cleaning f

Hi, i need you help. In my Trial Balance report, i have an amount posted under account category Other.How can i find out what is posted here ? 

In looking for information on how to block a Guest in Mews, a page listing the classifications and their meanings was presented. The term “blacklist” is a derogatory term offensive individuals who identify as black, as also mentioned by one of my Staff members who is of African American descent. Respectfully, please remove this term throughout the Mews platform. Last year or earlier this year, I requested this to be changed in the classification drop-down menu and this was done. I expected that Mews would have searched the platform and changed this everywhere but this is another location where it has resurfaced. 

Dear MEWS Community,Screen real estate is precious, especially when managing reservations, yet there are many ways to maximize the use of this limited space. A simple improvement would be to display more information in the hover-box that appears when you mouse over a reservation.Currently, the hover-box only shows the guest's first and last name along with their arrival and departure dates. This information is almost redundant, as it’s already visible on the timeline screen. Additionally, the hover-box is relatively small compared to the available screen space, which leaves room for more relevant details.Why not make better use of the hover-box by adding more useful information? The possibilities are endless. Here’s an example of what it could display:Name: Mr. Donald Duck Dates: Sun 29.09.24 - Mon 30.09.24 (1 night) Rate: Flexible Rate Total Amount: 888 EUR Note: This is a sample.Ideally, these settin

Hello, Just checking if I’m the only one here having this issue? Normally speaking, when we receive a reservation via Booking.com, the credit card details are automatically loaded into Mews (in the payment methods). Now this is not the case, and we have to do it manually. Anyone else with this issue? I thought this might be an issue on the side of the channel manager, but other OTA cards load in correctly. Thank you.

Are there any best practices in entering guest extensions to ensure KPI tracking is correct (eg sales channel, number of guests etc.) and avoid conflicts with OTA trackings which trigger a commission?Any tips would be helpful. Thank you!
