Reservation with an unused (first) night? (bookings with early arrival the following day)

Good afternoon, We sometimes have the following situation - the example of which is fictional.A guest makes a booking from 15 August until 19 August (4 nights).However, he will not stay on the first night.He booked the night of 15 August merely to guarantee an early check-in on 16 August.In essence, the guest will stay for 3 nights. What would be best in this case? [Especially the consideration of city tax plays here (as the guest did not spend the first night, it is not due for the first night)]1) split the reservation and cancel the first night with 100% cancellation cost?2) keep the reservation entirely but manually remove one city tax (mentioning this on the invoice for authority control purposes)3) another solution altogetherThank you for shedding your light on this.

Routing Rules to Customers

Is there a way to create a routing rule to a customer account? We have availability blocks with Customer Profiles that are set up at Paymasters for groups. We currently route the room, tax, and other fees to these paymasters based on the group contract. We would love to avoid this manual process. I think I am only seeing the option to create a routing rule to companies or TA’s. This is great for any group that pays via wire transfer but does not help if they pay via CC (80% of groups pay cc). Anyway around this?

And if it is possible for us to customize the events that are being sent by the booking engine?

Age categories are not getting mapped to SynXis

Hi! Anyone else here using the Sabre/SynXis integration and having trouble or has some tricks due to age categories? Set up in Mews must be right, because both BE and booking.com take the right rates/ extra fees for children, but somehow the mapping/ connection between Synxis and Mews is not working. Support ticket is going on, but wanted to ask the community too…Best regards, Karo, Hindsæter, Norway

Invoices

Hello everyone. The accounting department would like to have access to or view invoices in Mews. Unfortunately, I cannot select this as a permission in the user management. Which permission do I need to select or which role do I need to assign so that the accounting department can view invoices?

Asking guests for arrival time in Online Guest Services

We currently use a third party to handle online checkin and digital keys, one of the main reasons is that we find it useful to know approximately what time guests would like to check in, and this to be automatically reflected in the arrival time shown in Mews. It also gives the guest the opportunity to buy early check in as an extra.Now that Mews is offering digital keys, I want to see if we can stop using and paying for the third party system and do everything in Mews, hopefully also giving a more seamless experience for the guest.According to the Mews support chat it is possible to ask guests for arrival time in the Mews online check in, but I have never been able to find out how to do this.Has anyone got this working directly in Mews?

Override Restrictions

Hi Fellow Mewser, I´m trying to find a way to override restrictions. Once a (rate-)restriction is set, no one might be able to override them. Is there a way to give some users (like Mangager / Admin accounts) the permission to override restrictions? It would be very helfpul if you could assign those authorizations to some users.Looking foward to your input and maybe a helpful solution!Thanks in advance ;)Sascha

reoccuring tasks

Is there an option to mark tasks as reoccuring, let’s say you have a task that needs to be added to a reservation daily. A button that says “daily” or “every second day” or whatever, but just so you don’t have to manually create ten tasks for one booking that stays ten nights but just create it once with a specific rhythm?

Date-restricted Promo Code Offer

I am building a date-restricted bounceback offer for travel with arrival dates between06/28/24 - 06/30/24, minimum 2-night stay, with a specifically created voucher (FAREWELL) using specifically created rates (PRIDE 2024 BB). The rates are part of my existing bounceback rate group (Bounceback) in which I have an already-functioning bounceback offer (an offer that is valid for much longer than the one I’m now building).RATES: The rates accurately shows the 20% reduction on the Pricing tab, and they are enabled on the Details tab.RESTRICTIONS: Using the existing bounceback offer as a reference I have mirrored the type of restrictions on the new offer, Closed To Arrival To 06/27/24, Closed To Stay 06/28/24 - 06/30/24 Excluding Min 2 Nights, Closed To Arrival From 07/01/24. Other restrictions already in place block out two space types, and All Dates, All Rates Max Advance 180 days (which is irrelevant because the promo period is within 180 days from today.When viewing the restrictions on t

send different mails to an enquiry than to an optional booking

We would like to send different emails to a guest making an enquiry than to a guest placing an optional booking.Now they both get a quotation.But a guest who makes a quotation we would like to give only a quotation and clearly indicate that no accommodation is held for them.Whereas with an option, you actually want to indicate that the property is indeed being held.Now the chatbot gave the idea of using other languages to create a different mail. However, you are then faced with the problem that product names are also named in that language.I am sure we are not the only ones with this problem. How did you solve this?

Mention of "Billing automation applied" appears when making a reservation

Good morning, Since yesterday I have noticed something new (?) when making a reservation. A ‘lightning’ sign appears under the quotation total, mentioning ‘Billing automation applied’.Is this a new feature or something which impacts existing processes?No changes to Mews were made by me prior to this appearing.

Why can't Mews auto-translate all fields on booking engine including rates and rooms?

It is a pain to have to manually update all translations for room rates, products, and room names for each language. There should be a way to auto translate all of this like it does for other parts of the built-in booking engine. Any solutions out there?

overbooking

Who here has experienced overbooking managed by Mews, and has had to deal with their premium service? It's time to tell the truth: for the past three years, we've noticed significant shortcomings. We recently hosted a delegation from Mews at the hotel (finally), and our key account manager alone identified more than 30 areas for improvement.Today, I am tired of watching a ping pong match between Mews and their partners, with each side always blaming the other. In the end, it's Mews that isn't doing its job properly. To all the developers: when will you wake up and create a proper PMS for us, with invoice and amount splits, amount adjustments, and a kiosk that works correctly...?But let's get back to my overbooking problem, which has been ongoing for two weeks without a solution, neither for us hoteliers nor for the guest who has no room. This management is scandalous, and we're expected to be responsive. I am being taken for a fool, and so are the guests!

I have a full hotel (summer season started) and we have decided to change the room categories names and characteristics for a marketing point of view, so I have to change about 90 rooms…Thank you for your help,Kind regards from Luxembourg,Eline
