Hello Mewsers,The daily receipts book no longer needs to be kept if a daily financial report is generated via the MEWS digital software, which is saved and can no longer be modified. Is it true that MEWS provides this in our package and thus the paper daily receipt book has become redundant?Best regards,Robin

Hi everyone! One week ago, I set up different age categories and loaded the city tax as a 0 euros in the products for them. However, when I have one reservation with 4 adults that finally are 2 adults and 2 children (the system does not recognise when there is children and put adults everywhere) and I change from 4 adults to 2 adults and 2 children, the system automatically put the children city tax a 0 euros but it adds the amount substracted to the daily rate and I have to rechange it manually. :( Send help please!!! :)

We are new to Mews. I'm finding it hard getting the answer for this! We have to add Zbed charges to bills as they're not being applied when people book through our site or 3rd party. These are being added on the bill by adding “product” and selecting miscellaneous. This is where we have the charges set up. Thing is, once its added, it cannot be corrected or removed. Is there a way to remove these items firstly. Second, is there an easier way to add things to bills?? I know there is an “item” section but these prices are incorrect and it also adds for every night. We cant add “breakfast” just for one night etc. Hoping this makes sense and any help is gratefully received!!

We are facing the problem of changes of the creditor very often such as address or name changes.Currently we need to cancel the whole invoice and recharge it - which is super complicated.As well as parts of the invoice are products which we received via API (Bizzon POS / Eventtemple). By German law it is not allowed to Do changes with Adobe or similar. How do you handle this? Thank you for your feedbacks in advanceBestMariusz

Hello, do you know if there is a report in which we can find the amount already paid by customers for future stays?

Is there a way to charge a credit card after the bill has been closed? Our guest checked out and then we had a report of incidental usage in the room. I checked them back in and do not have access to her credit card for incidentals. Thank you 

Hi There,Is there any way I can remove my family rooms from the inventory count? It now counts more rooms then I acctually have. So I can have 17 rooms available even if I only have 14 fysical rooms in the hotel but 3 are also bookable as a family room (so a combination of 3 rooms) Especially with my reporting, I cannot see what my actual occupancy was because Mews counts all my family rooms as additional rooms in the reporting. So I do all the counting manually now which takes a lot of time. Is there anyone with the same problem? and how to fix it? Warm regards,Sijtske

what is the difference between "Mews payments - stripe" and "terminal" when putting card payments in?

Hi! I'm quite new to Mews. Could anyone please tell me if there is a way of knowing if a bank account is directly linked to Mews to receive direct payments please? We have had a cancellation recently and was within 14 days of their arrival. If you go on to Charge and Close, does the payment automatically get taken via guests previously saved card and transferred in to the mews account? We usually take payments through a PDQ .Sorry I couldn't find this answer on mews.Thanks for any help!Lisa

Hi againIs there a way of seeing full card details once saved on Mews? We can only see last 4 digits and need to take a payment.

Hi! Is there any possibility of using the right arrival and departure times without overbooking my hotel because the check out time is at 12am and the next client is supposed to arrive around 11am? Thanks!!

Hey, We are using in our Hotel a Screen that you can basically set up yourself with different content also depending on what day it is. One thing i am trying to do is showing the live prices for direct booking but there is no way to scrape the prices. Did anyone ever manage that? Also would like to put the live prices on the website without clicking through the booking eninge . Is it possible to have a widget for that? Or is there any other way?  Curious if anyone ran into that. Cheers Hendrik

Hello! As far as I know, emails are always send at the preferred language of the guest. Would it be possible to always send it in English? We have our custom email and there’s important information that we want to share, but if the guest selects another language they receive the default email. Or the only way is to create emails for all languages and copy/paste the English version? Kind regards, Sergi

Is there any easy and quick way to see how often a guest has stayed?

Was wondering if anyone has a good format for running the accounting ledger report to get a better idea of how long an account has been in an open status from when the guest departed?

Dear Mewsers,We have been experiencing an ongoing issue with pre-authorizations not being released promptly after guest departures. Typically, the pre-authorization is cancelled on the following day, but we have been receiving frequent complaints from our guests stating that the pre-authorization remains blocked on their cards even after three weeks from their departure. We would like to understand if other hotels are also facing similar challenges with pre-authorizations not being released in a timely manner. It seems that the bank card companies are holding onto the funds even after we have released the pre-authorization. Is it legal for the bank card companies to retain the funds for such an extended period, even after the hotel has released the pre-authorization?Any insights, suggestions, or advice on how we can address this issue would be greatly appreciated. We strive to provide excellent service to our guests, and this delay in releasing pre-authorization

Hi MEWS Community! My hotel is in Indonesia, we are applying service charge and VAT. In MEWS we have to create service charge as a product hence rate+service charge will be sent to CRS (we are using SynXis/Sabre). We want to be able to send naked rate without service charge to CRS, and service charge to be displayed same as VAT. Anyone has similar situation and what is your setup in MEWS? I would appreciate your feedback or recommendation. Thank you guys!

Hi everyone,We are recently experiencing some issues with merging profiles due to multiple loyalty programs.Support advised me to use Mews Connector to delete one of the loyalty programs. I went over the documentation but have no idea where to start. Would someone be able to help me out with this ?Thank you in advance.

Hello Community! I am having a hard time understanding the difference between optional and inquired reservations. If a potential guest decides to book an inquiry, how do I know that it has been booked? Should I send optional quotes instead? Should I follow up with guests I have sent an inquiry quote too? If guest confirm optional quotes, how do they show up in the reporting? Please Help! Thank you.

Is there a way to remove a cancelled room from a group reservation?  It is getting a bit confusing with it hanging out at the bottom of the right-hand pane.  There is nothing I can see to be done with it there, and our front desk people are being overwhelmed. I’d love to even move it to another group.  Is there a way to move a single room off of a group to another?As I type this, I’m sure there must be?
