How Do I..

Hallo zusammen, gibt es jemand, der mir hierzu ein paar INFO´s geben könnte?Wir arbeiten aktuell mit alten Excel Reports und würden dies gerne überdenken. Vielen DankJohannes Rott

For the last couple mornings my head housekeeper has noticed that all stays are automatically being changed to clean, but they should be dirty so she has to manually change them to dirty? does anyone have a fix for this ? 

Moin zusammen,ich bin auf der Suche nach einem Bericht, der mir das Verhältnis der wiederkehrenden Gäste zur Belegung zeigt.Ich möchte dabei die Anzahl RN in einem Zeitraum im Verhältnis zur Gesamtbelegung. Hintergrund: Wir wollen herausfinden, in wie weit ein Goodie-Programm für Wiederkehrer sinnvoll ist.Was ich finde, sind Zahlen zu den Personen über die Gästestatistik, übrigens auch, wenn ich dort Nächte (!?) filtere,oder über den Reservierungsbericht die einzelnen Reservierungen, allerdings müsste man die manuell zählen und müsste zudem über die Aufenthaltsdauer die RN dazu ausrechnen. Das kann es nicht sein, aber ich werde nicht fündig.Hat jemand eine Idee? Viele GrüßeLeif

I just received an email from a bride saying that she is the only one receiving reservation confirmations--if her guests book online through the availability block link, they don’t get their own confirmation. Has anyone else had this issue or know how to fix it? Thanks! 

Would it be possible to add an optional company name field in the booking process?During the week we have a lot of business guests and they need an invoice in the name of the company. There are many reasons why this makes sense: It helps us already before check-in to see who's coming or identify several reservations by guests from the same company or a booking from a new guest from a “returning” company or you can reduce the number of change requests because of wrong billing address etc…..It’s useful and necessary in every way and the OTA’s send this information as well.This couldn't be too big of a deal, or?Thanks,Max 

When my head housekeeper is assigning rooms to the housekeeping team for cleaning she has to assign rooms for both checkouts and stays, checkouts take a lot more time then stays so she try’s to give the staff an equal amount of both but in the system there is no way to differentiate these so she has to do a manual process of figuring it out as there is not housekeeping report that can help with this either 

As the header reads. We make notes on the guest invoice in the restaurant but the notes don’t show on the final bill. Usually the notes are ref.numbers or group names. Essesntial for the billing department and also the customer. Help, please.

Hello mewsters!I have been struggling with for a long time: what would be the best way to manage apartments that are located in different addresses than our hoste/hotel? We currently have two separate mews “profiles” but it doesn’t seem to help. One of the problems is to send individual confirmation emails/arrival instructions. I know there is lot of PMS’s systems that can do this easily, but is there a way to do this with MEWS?Thanks for sharing your best practices and tips!

Hello .We are new to mew. I read an article on saving filters for reports and creating a custom link.Sounds like a great idea. i tried that. Created a custom link. When I click on the link ( In custom links section ) nothing happens. Does anyone use this feature ? Thanks.

Hello fellow Mews users,I'm currently facing a challenge with managing "sandwich days" in our booking setup. We typically require a minimum three-night stay for arrivals on Thursdays, Fridays, or Saturdays. However, when a guest books from Tuesday to Friday and there's another arrival scheduled for Sunday, this blocks potential guests from booking a Friday and Saturday stay.I'd like to enable two-night bookings starting on a Friday in such cases. Could anyone advise on the best way to create a manual restriction in Mews to allow this?Additionally, how does your team handle these types of sandwich days? At the moment, I'm manually scanning the timeline for the entire year to identify and adjust them, which is quite time-consuming.Any tips or best practices would be greatly appreciated!

Hello, we run a nature resort at visitlaagen.no. We have integrated with Zapier to give a better experience using automated SMS giving people all the info about their stay, including the code to the lock box of their exact unit on the day of arrival. It’s working like a charm.However, after having integrated with Booking.com, we got ourselves a problem. Having flexible tickets at Booking.com means that customers are free to rebook their stay at another date. This completely messes up the Zapier integration. There is a Zapier field called “Updated” which is supposed to provide info about the altered bookings. This field would probably help, because we could then listen to that field when it returns an updated booking and change it accordingly, However, the “Updated” field seems to return all the available bookings instead, making it impossible for us to discern the updated ones. Any ideas on how to fix this?Best,Jan

Hallo zusammen, kann eine bereits geschlossenen und “zurückerstattete” (bereits bearbeitete) Debitor Rechnung nochmals bearbeitet werden / zur Bearbeitung geöffnet werden? Falls ja, wie???  Besten Dank für Hilfe!!!!

Hallo Zusammen, uns stellt sich folgendes Problem:Wir möchten einem Gast ein Angebot für einen Aufenthalt in der Kategorie “ANGEFRAGT” senden.Gibt es keine Möglichkeit die Kategorie ANGEFRAGT ohne Optionsende zu versenden?Der Gast erhält momentan bei jeder von uns verschickten ANFRAGE eine E-Mail mit dem Text: “Ihre Reservierung wird gehalten, bitte bestätigen sie bis zum XX.XX” Dies ist aber faktisch falsch, da wir in der Kategorie ANGEFRAGT kein Zimmer für den Gast zurück halten, diese sind alle weiterhin offen buchbar. Korrekterweise müsste der Text in der E-Mail umformuliert werden, es müsste von Angebot und nicht von Reservierung gesprochen werden und das Optionsende müsste gestrichen werden. Dies führte nun wiederholt zu unangenehmen Telefonaten und Mailverkehr.Hat jemand ähnliche Erfahrungen gemacht oder kennt eine elegantere Methode eine Anfrage für ein Zimmer zu versenden? Vielen Dank!

Hi :)I found this info: Mews automatically maps your space categories; you can remove any you do not wish to send. If you want to add more, you can manually map them.But how do i remove a space type from the booking engine ?Do i need to map all my categories to do this ? 

How do I undo a creditcard refund when the card is not at my disposal anymoore?Thank you for you help!

Has anyone found a way to make availability blocks visible on the timeline? Right now, I create availability blocks with the links so that guests can book online, but nothing shows up on the timeline to indicate that those spaces are blocked for those dates. The best I’ve done is to add the event to the calendar, which then shows up with blue dots along those days on the timeline. I like using the availability blocks for events, but our front desk staff hates that when they scroll through the timeline to check availability, there is no visible block or anything to indicate that those days are blocked until they try to create a reservation. 

Hi there, We’re in the process of starting with a new OTA. How do I make an incoming reservation immediately do the following? 1) create two bills: one for the guest (city tax + incidentals to be paid by guest); one for the OTA (prepays accommodation). How do I route specific items to specific bills?2) to have the bill for the OTA automatically associate with the OTA (so guest remains owner; OTA is associated profile)Thanks! 

A guests need a booking confirmation with all the guests names for Visa purpose.I have added all the names to the booking but when I send out the confirmation only the main booker name shows up. How can I sent out a booking confirmation with all the guests names on it? 

Buenos días,Nos gustaría consultarles acerca del proceso de traspaso de facturación desde Mews al programa de contabilidad SAGE. Actualmente, hemos observado que las ventas se traspasan desglosadas por cada día de consumo. Por ejemplo, si una reserva abarca cinco días, se generan cinco líneas contables con la cuenta de venta correspondiente.Este formato nos está generando dificultades a la hora de conciliar los ingresos con los movimientos bancarios, ya que no coincide fácilmente con los importes totales cobrados.¿Existe alguna manera de simplificar este proceso para que la información contable se agrupe de forma más manejable o resumida? Agradeceríamos mucho cualquier orientación al respecto.Quedamos atentos a sus comentarios.Un cordial saludo,

It would be a great development if there was the option of having saved filters for reports in the reporting area. Not in the export version, but that you can save reports with your own filters and create them as required. And not have to adjust the filter every time. Analytics is not an alternative for me here.

Bonjour, Je ne trouve plus le rapport Taxe de séjour dans la partie Finances Merci pour votre aide

I can't figure out if I can implement a restriction the way I want to. I wish to restrict a space type to a specific LOS based on lead time. For example: If it’s less than 10 days before arrival, a 3 day LOS requirement If it’s more than 10 days before arrival, a 4 day LOS requirementIs this possible? 

Hi everyone! Does anyone know if it's possible to configure a video to play or appear after a guest completes their online check-in?We'd love to use it for a quick welcome message :)

Hello! We are new to the Mews community and are running into a small issue.Currently we have a minimum stay set up for the Fridays (3 nights) and Saturdays (2 nights) throughout the year.We have this setup through a closed for arrival restriction with the exemption being the minimum nights. However, we would like for this restriction to disappear X amount of nights before the arrival date to fill in any remaining gaps.We have tried adding a Maximum Before exemption, but this does not seem to work. Do you have any tips & tricks? Kind regards, Patrick
