Timeline Update

Dear CommunityWe used to be able to see all the rooms of the “group” (if a reservation belonged to one) lighted up when clicked on one in the timeline. This was easy for room allocation, to make sure reservations of two or three rooms were not placed on opposite sides of the hotel. I noticed today that this feature is no longer working. I preferred it when it was still possible to see the entire group, this made my work a lot easier. Now I have to manually go to each reservation to make sure I’m not missing something. Any one else having trouble with this?

Billing - added product displayed twice

Dear Mews, I noticed that on the billing screen, an added product is henceforth displayed twice.(although in fact consumed only once)I see this is to do with either “Linking product to reservation” or not.If you do (which is default), the 1 product is listed twice on the billing screen.If you don’t, the 1 product is listed once on the billing screen.1 product being listed twice on the same bill creates confusion - it gives the idea that there were two consumptions (whereas only one was taken).However, as the default setting is to link the product to a reservation, there must be a good reason to work this way? Please let me know what the best way to work is.Most clear way to work, as far as I am concerned, is that 1 added product is listed once on the billing screen (~ siutation 2).Any implications I should be aware of when not linking a product to a reservation?---I will visualise both situations:  Situation 1: one product (minibar consumption) is added and ‘product is linked to reserv

Suggestion for Time Allocation in Space Category Settings

Any thoughts on the below - upvote in feedback In housekeeping operations, efficiency and planning are key. Currently, housekeepers rely on a “fixed” amount of time per space, depending on the category, features, and other variables. To streamline this process, it would be highly beneficial to introduce a dedicated field within the Space Category settings for allocating the average time required to clean each space type.Example Time Allocations:Standard Room: 20 minutes Junior Suite: 45 minutes Shared Dormitory with 6 Beds: 1 hourBenefits of This Feature:Enhanced Planning: Housekeeping managers can better allocate staff and resources, ensuring optimal coverage during busy periods and more balanced workloads. Performance Monitoring: By linking this feature to the Activity Report, managers could track how individual housekeepers perform against the expected cleaning times for each space category. This insight can help identify high performers or staff members who may need additional trai

Housekeeping Intervals

Hi,I'm looking for clarification on housekeeping intervals for long-stay bookings. Our goal is to clean each room every 7 days, but we want to control the specific day of the week when this cleaning occurs.I assumed that marking a room as "clean" would reset the 7-day interval each time. However, it seems the interval is only tied to the "system" status change date. For example, one room was marked "dirty" on November 5, and we cleaned it on November 8. Ideally, the 7-day interval would start from the most recent clean date (November 8), resetting the next cleaning date to November 15. But in this case, the interval reset on November 12, which is 7 days after the system’s initial "dirty" mark on November 5.Is there a way to adjust settings so the 7-day interval starts from the last manual cleaning date rather than the system date?

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

Expedia Direct Connect with MEWS

Hello, I have been live with the Expedia direct connect with MEWS and been working with support, but I keep getting different answers. I try it, it doesn’t work. I am looking for advice on setting up Expedia Collect and Hotel Collect mapping in market place.We have 2 rate plans, 1 for Expedia Collect and 1 for Hotel Collect. I can only map 1 and I can only select Hotel Collect or Expedia collect.If I use the Expedia Collect rate code with the collect type Expedia, then ALL bookings go to the Expedia Collect rate plan. Meaning, if a guest books Hotel Collect, it books in MEWS against Expedia Collect. And, visa versa on that.This has been a back and forth with support for a month and no solutions from support are fixing the issue. Has anyone else found the right answer?

Option to Issue Pro Forma Invoices or Invoices with a Percentage Deposit Requirement for Booking Confirmation

As we establish our group accommodation billing process, we've identified the need to issue pro forma invoices or invoices that specify a deposit amount—such as 33%—to confirm a booking. This functionality is particularly essential for group bookings, where securing reservations often requires a partial payment upfront.Currently, Mews does not provide the option to generate an invoice based on a percentage of the booking total. Instead, the system only allows invoicing for the entire amount, which can complicate transactions and discourage early booking confirmations. Adding a feature to invoice for partial payments would streamline the booking process, make payment terms clearer, and improve cash flow management.For group and corporate bookings, this capability would offer hotels a competitive edge by providing a more professional and flexible invoicing system. I believe developing this feature would be an invaluable enhancement to the platform, supporting both financial efficiency an

checked in online, room category reserved and room number

Hello, I don't know if this topic has already been discussed. We've noticed, following feedback from a customer who checked in online, that when the customer fills in the online check-in form, the form confirms “the room category assigned”. However, in my opinion, it would be preferable to indicate “the room category reserved”, especially in relation to the paid upgrade feature of the reservation. For example, if we have upgraded a guest for free (for whatever reason, construction work, overbooking, etc.) and then, when they arrive, we change them back to their original category, it could be confusing for them. We've also had the case where the room number assigned to him was confirmed on the form, even though this room number can change at the last minute. Wouldn't it be better in this case to indicate “the category of room booked” on the online check-in form, and above all not to indicate the room number? If this is something we can do ourselves, could you please get back to me and t

Booking.com deletes Online Check-In and Mews Messages Links

I am surprised that I couldn’t find any thread discussing this issue.Maybe I am the only one with this problemFor the past month, I’ve tried everything, but Booking.com continues to remove all links from every email we send. This prevents us from sharing the online check-in link or Mews Messages link with our guests.My booking.com account manager suggested writing out the link instead of using a button, but that didn’t work either.I even added the „app.mews.com“ link to Booking.com whitelist - „your approved links“The account manager is aware of the issue but hasn’t provided a solution.Does anyone know a solution to this issue?

Mews password reset email (unwanted)

Hello, We’ve been getting Mews emails lately: “as per your request; you can reset your account password ….”However, no (active) staff member or myself asked for a password reset.I can apparently disregard this e-mail. However, should I be worried someone is trying to get into my account?

action log - no possibility to undo actions?

Hi. I wonder why the action log does not offer any “undo” buttons? As an admin I am also only a human being and I do make mistakes when it comes to setting rates, adjusting rates, changing reservations ao. Pluss the lovely hotel guests make changes, want different rooms ao.Should be a no brainer to put up an “undo” feature? As this one will get logged too…Or am I blind for the actual possibility already being there?Best regards,Karola, Hindsæter, Norway

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?

Disable on day pre arrival mail

Is there a way to disable the pre arrival e-mail that is sent the morning of arrival.I know that there is a option in the bookable service but i am not sure if this deactivates both the mail two days before arrival and the mail on the day of arrival.Is there a way to disable only the mailing on the day of arrival?

Channelmanager

Liebe Community, mit welchem Channelmanager arbeitet Ihr?Hat jemand die Kombination von Mews und Diers und kann mir etwas zu Euren Erfahrungen sagen?Ich war sehr unzufrieden mit Cubilis, da der Setup mit Booking nie richtig funktionierte und ich die Fehelr ausbaden musste. Zur Zeit bin ich mit MEWS direkt mit Booking verbunden. Mir fehlt jedoch AIRBNB,Hier scheint ja die Schnittstelle nicht wirklich priorisiert zu sein. Oder interessiert das noch jemanden?Es gibt hier bereits eine Abstimmung zu dem Thema - jedoch ist das Commitment eher bescheiden.Fraglich, ob es nicht genügend Mewser wissen oder das Interesse nicht da ist. Hire mal der Link, falls es für Euch relevant ist:https://feedback.mews.com/forums/918733-mews-guest-journey/suggestions/45199465-airbnb-expedia-booking-com-chat-integration Liebe Grüße Simone

PDF Confirmation with and without rates

Hello, How can I have confirmation PDF to send to my clients? So far I can’t only download a pre invoice or a register document for the reception. And many of them wants the confirmation PDF without the rates, especially when it’s a Company booking or some agencies. Thank you!
