Hi Mews community!How do you set several rooms as Out of order, in one shot?For the moment we can only set one room by one and it can be a really long setting! 

Hi there!Did anybody knows if the system supports any option of getting notified a reservation is cancelled ( when the reservation is through the mews booking engine) ? 

Wie kann man das Rechnungsformular anpassen?#wenn ich rechnungen die per Überweisung bezahlt werden mit dem Zahlungsziel 14 Tag habe ich mit den Empfängern Problme, da die Rechnung unüberichtlich gestellt und einen Nullbetrag für bezahlt ausweist.

Hi everyone,I’m reaching out to the community to connect with others who are working with availability blocks that include parent rooms—i.e., room types that consist of two or more child rooms from different categories. We’re especially interested in setups where these blocks are used for seasonal or yearly contracts, and how availability is managed across those periods.Additionally, if anyone has experience integrating Zapier workflows into availability block management, we’d love to hear how you’ve approached automation or data syncing.Looking forward to exchanging ideas and best practices!Best,Adrian

Hallo zusammen,nutzt jemand von euch Hijiffy als Chatbot bzw. als Kommunikationstool per whatsapp?ich würde gerne wissen ob hier der Online Check-in per Whatsapp verschickt werden kann. laut meines Wissens gibt MEWS diesen “link” nicht frei?Hat hier jemand mehr insights?

Buenas tardes, quería saber si hay algún informe que pueda emitir Mews para saber el número de pensiones vendidas en el mes, diferenciando desayuno, media pensión y pensión completa entre adultos y niños.

Hallo, kann mir jemand sagen, wie ich für die Übertragung die Tagessalden ausstellen kann?Uns fehlt eine detaillierte Aufteilung pro Gast 

We want our guest to be able to use the guest portal to chat/message feature and modify their reservation dates if needed, but not check in or out online is there a way to disable online check in and out?

Hello — we’d like to test payment automation for card pre-authorization. How does this work for hotels that are already using it? My main concern is that pre-authorizations might be attempted on virtual cards or travel-agency cards. Has anyone had success with this? Thanks! 🌼

In the **Match and Merge** function for guest profiles, we often get suggestions to merge profiles based on phone numbers — but in many cases, the phone number in the guest profile actually belongs to the **travel agency**, not the guest.This means the profiles often do **not** belong to the same guest, so we usually choose **“Keep separate.”**Would it be possible to adjust the matching algorithm so that it **ignores certain phone numbers** (specifically those belonging to travel agencies) when matching guest profiles?I’m also curious if other countries are experiencing the same issue — that **bookings from TA's via Amadeus** always lack the guest’s email and use the **travel agency’s phone number** instead of the guest’s.I’d like to check if this problem is local or more widespread. Thanks for shedding light! 🌼(sorry for the typo in the heading *match*. Couldn't correct after uploading) 😅

Hi zusammen,wie wickelt ihr Gruppen in MEWS ab wenn es um Korrespondenzen und den ganzen Schriftverkehr?Wir nutzen MEWS in Kombination mit Event Temple aber beides ist nicht optimal?Habt ihr einen Workaround?Vielen Dank! 

We have multiple integrations with tour operators, including Booking.com. With some of these partners, we settle commissions. Mews currently offers a global commission calculation, but this setup is insufficient for our Finance department.For example, if the commission is 15% and the hotel price (including breakfast but excluding city tax) is €100 on Booking.com, is there a way to record €15 as commission and €85 as accommodation & breakfast?If so, could you please advise how we can configure this in Mews?It’s important that the guest does not see the split between the commission and the accommodation.Thank you in advance for your help.

At my property, we have poolside cabanas we rent and they have been set up as Daily rentals. However, Friday through Sunday, there are two day part rental options, one for 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM and another for 4:30 PM - 9:00 PM (when we have poolside entertainment on the pool deck).I set them up in early 2024 as three different bookable services, one for Monday through Thursday with one day part, 11:00 AM - 6:00 PM, one for Friday through Sunday, 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM, and one for Friday through Sunday, 4:30 PM - 9:00 PM, doing so because I believed at the time it would not be possible to make the three different options bookable through a single bookable service.Now, more than a year later, have I overcomplicated this and is it possible for me to make this a single bookable service? Understanding I can change the rate plan by day of the week, how would it be possible to have two different day parts within one bookable service? On our website,

In the new email template system:Is there a way to filter content blocks depending on the arrival date?It would be great to i.e. show offers for a ski pass only for reservations in the winter season, or ebike offers in the summer season. 

We have some bookings under dedicated rate codes where we need to stay alert and take action when a reservation comes through those channels.Question: Does anyone know if it’s possible to set up a rate code so that a Task is automatically generated when a booking is created?Someone mentioned adding a “phony” bookable item that’s linked to a task — Linked to the ratecode that way, a task would be created for us to act on.Does anyone know if that works and how? Many thanks! 🌼

When guests use these services, for instance by having their card stored in their mobile or watch, the card cannot be reactivated for payment of food or other items. This happens because the technology behind it has created a virtual card number (different from the guest’s real one). I’m wondering if anyone knows a workaround? Thanks!

We would like to include more booking-specific details in the email sent after check-in — specifically the Mews Booking Number. This is important because guests need this number to generate a new key at the kiosk if they lose their original one. However, I can’t find where to access existing fields containing data from the booking? Where is it hidden 😅👍

When charging Secret Escapes Virtual cards in Mews, it's sending the guest a payment successful email, but does not for our other OTA virtual cards?

Hi everyoneWe’re running into a tracking and consent issue that I imagine others might have faced too — and I’d love to hear how you’ve solved it.First I’d like to add that the MEWS Booking Engine have been configured with the GTM-ID, and the GTM has been configured based on the documentation from MEWS. No issue here - everything works and it’s all good. The situation:Our main websites (www.steelhousecopenhagen.com and www.nexthousecopenhagen.com) uses Cookie Information as our CMP, and many visitors accept cookies there.However, when users move to the end of the MEWS Booking Engine flow, they are forwarded to the domain app.mews.com for payment and confirmation. Here they a

Does anyone know if it’s possible to *mirror* the guest registration card digitally — for example, on a tablet — and let the guest fill it out at check-in?We don’t use paper registration cards since we are **Green Key certified**.As far as I know, the guest can only complete the registration card through:a. **Online check-in**b. **Kiosk check-in**However, I’ve heard that the receptionist can also *mirror* the digital registration card during a regular check-in.Can anyone confirm or deny whether this function is available? 

We are new to MEWS. To the users that have experience with MEWS and ID Scanning, which ID scanner do you you recommend for MEWS at front desk running windows PC? For example Logitech webcam, any specific ID scanners, etc. Please suggest some options. Thank you in advance.

Hi Everyone, In our old system the housekeeping report would show linnen change after the guest stayed for 3 nights.how can i see this in Mews?thank you. :) Manpreet

Hello,is there a way to hide the room rate on the reservation confirmation when the guest has made their booking through an OTA that will pay for the room with a VCC? Our issue is with Expedia bookings that are paid with Expedia VCC; and we receive Expedia reservations through iHotelier channel manager.I know that there is a general setting to exclude reservation confirmation sending for bookings through a channel manager, and that the email editor has a condition ‘Unless there is a travel agency’ available, and that by configuring billing automation the room charges can be directed to the OTA. We do want to send the reservation confirmation to the guests booking through an OTA  We would like exclude specific OTA bookings, like Expedia channel-collect bookings, from having the room rate displayed.  I believe - I do NOT know as I haven’t tested this - the billing automation cannot be modified so that the room charges are routed to

Ist es richtig, dass man die auszuwählenden Klassifizierungen (Fluggesellschaft, Militär, wichtig,...) nicht ändern kann? Ist das in nächster Zeit geplant? Das wäre sehr wichtig - sicher nicht nur für uns. Vor allem in Bezug auf unser CRM für die Übertragung der Kundenkategorie… Bitte um Rückmeldung!
