How Do I..

Hi, After i have connected Expedia direct, i have a lot of issues with my rates with breakfast.How is your setup done ?I want to make sure that the is a difference in the rates with breakfast depending on how many persons that are staying.

Hoping someone can assist me with an answer! We have a dynamic rate structure. The MEWS booking engine displays an average nightly rate when potential guests are shopping. However, guests are not made aware that the rate is an average rate and not a nightly rate. Has anyone ran into this issue and how did you get around it? Also does anyone have a suggestion on how to send rate breakdowns after booking? Thank you community!! 

Hello!Self-Checkin after midnight seems to be not possible, because the room status becomes reset to dirty at midnight even though the respective reservation has not been checked in yet. When the guest arrives after midnight check in is denied because „room not ready“.is there a work around or setting I missed?it would help if the time the cleaning status becomes reset could be set to a later time, like 4 am…what are your tips and experiences?kind regards,Jean-Philipp.

Hi there,Is there a way to manage parent room categories when using a CRS connectivity that calculates availability based on reservations rather than being sent per room type?For example, if we have two Standard Rooms with connecting doors that can also be booked as a "Family Room," the issue arises when both Standard Rooms are reserved. In Mews, the Family Room correctly becomes unavailable, but in the CRS, it remains bookable since no reservations are directly blocking that category. The same issue occurs in reverse—if the Family Room is booked, the Standard Rooms remain available in the CRS.Currently, the integration does not support parent room functionality, but developing this feature could unlock significant revenue potential. It would be great to explore the possibility of implementing it.Best regards,Robert

Hi everyone,Simple questions. During a booking on our website, we want only the room with the appropriate capacity to appear. For example, when a family of four wants to book through our system, only the family room should be shown, not the standard room. For the moment they can see all the types of room, so there is no filter in the booking ? Thank you.  

Liebe Mewser,was macht Ihr, um Gäste mit Kostenübernahme vom Bezahlen am Kiosk-Terminal freihalten zu können? 

Hallo Mewsler,seit dem 24.02.2025 haben wir ein Problem mit der Schnittstelle Mews Connector zu Messerschmitt. Wenn ein Gast über den Mews Kiosk eincheckt und eine Zimmerkarte erstellt, wird die Zimmernummer nicht angezeigt. Der Kartenerstellungsprozess wird in Mews als „in Arbeit“ angezeigt, und anschließend erscheint eine Fehlermeldung.Ablauf des Problems:Der Gast checkt über den Mews Kiosk ein. Die Zimmerkarte wird erstellt und ausgegeben. Im Mews Kiosk bleibt der Status „Kartenerstellungsprozess in Arbeit“. Danach erscheint eine Fehlermeldung.Fehlermeldung im Mews Connector:[ INFO ] - 12:04 [Fias server] Error while communication. | {"Exception":{"Type":"Mews.Connector.ConnectorException","Message":"No key request to complete.","Data":{},"StackTrace":"   bei Mews.Connector.Modularity.Fias.FiasServer.HandleKeyAnswer(String message)\r\n   bei Mews.Connector.Modularity.Fias.FiasServer.<>c__DisplayClass22_0.<DataReceivedHandler>b__0()\r\n   bei Mews.Connector.Modularity.Fia

Liebe Community,gibt es eine Möglichkeit, den Online Check einer Ratengruppe für ungarantierte Anreisen ab einer bestimmten Uhrzeit zu verpflichten, sodass der Gast von ungarantiert auf garantiert switchen kann? Danke für eine Antwort,beste Grüße Kerstin

Good morning everyone,Greetings from Charleroi, BelgiumHope your days are good where you are.I’m trying to get a report that show me 3 thnigs : Name of the company VAT number Revenue for this companyDo someone know how to have this kind of report ? Because the ones I got from Analytics or invoices or not correct in terms of REVENUE. Waiting for your replies. Antoine Dieudonné

Dear All, in my first impression (we went live 3 weeks ago) the online check-in asks for CC incl. verification at online check-in even if the guest has gone through 3Ds before (at time of booking for example)? Is that possible? I do understand the guests’ frustration there. While I do agree we need to have a mindset shift in the DACH region and normalize cc capture and verification I believe this is exaggerated. Could someone confirm if my first observation are correct? Where do I see if the guest has successfully gone through 3Ds in the profile?

Hello, our org does not permit the use of cellphones during working hours, so we are exploring alternative two-factor authentication methods. I can not see if Mews support FIDO2 security keys, or are there any plans to support them in the future?  

Hey there,is there any way to change the column width of the timeline? The daily view would be much better, if you could make the columns smaller so that you can see more days. We appreciate any help. Nicole

The trigger for a new booking event on Zapier isn't working, even though the zap test was successful.Which  values do i Have to use for the time starter if I want to search for reservations arriving in the next 5 days?

Dear Community,As you may be aware, if a client is delayed and arrives the day after their original arrival date, the new arrival date is reflected in the reservations report. However, is there any report available that allows us to view the original arrival date?Thank you in advance for your assistance.Best regards, Jonathan Saavedra

Howdy, does anyboy know how to import or implent public holiday events into the timeline? In Outlook there is a way to import a simple file with this information.  

Guten Morgen,nachdem ein paar Mal Mitarbeiter statt die Rechnung neu auszustellen die Rechnungen zurückbelastet haben, habe ich die Benutzerrollen eingeschränkt. Das heißt jetzt aber für alle, dass außer mir mit Admin-Rechten keiner mehr Rechnungen ändern kann. Zwar gibt es noch die Option “als offene Rechnung neu ausstellen”, aber es gibt für die Mitarbeiter dann nur einen weißen Bildschirm. Gleiches bei “Rechnungsdetails ändern”.Generell habe ich kein Problem damit, die Rechnungen zu ändern, doch sobald ich im Urlaub bin, müssen die Gäste dann warten, bis ich wieder zurück bin, um die Rechnung zu ändern und das möchte ich den Gästen nicht zumuten. Ich kann auch nicht nur bestimmte Rechnungsänderungsoptionen freischalten, sondern nur alles oder nichts. Hat irgendjemand eine Idee, wie dies besser zu lösen ist? 

Hi all,Currently all staff members can change the room status to Inspected. I would like this to be only available for our Housekeeping Manager. Housekeeping team members should only be able to change from Dirty to Clean. Is there a way to make this possible? Thank you!

Hello Mewters!Question: I need a guest communication add-on, capable of doing few things.. I wonder if this is possible. We want to make the whole customer journey digital without any human interfering at our end. What I would need is:1) Online check-in with ID check2) Automated, unique pin codes for SALTO door locks, created and sent to guests3) is possible, we would like to make upselling in our apartments. Example: you stay in an apartment, you see a locked boxed and would like to purchase the things inside. Scan the QR code, pay, get pincode/mobile key and open the lock. How would you solve these issues? The first two are crucial, last one on the wish list. Thanks for help!Ville​​​​​​​

Hello Community,I hope this post finds you well. Today, I want to open up a conversation about a topic that's been lingering in MEWS feedback portal – the addition of a third gender option in the Guest Profiles.In the MEWS feedback portal, there are currently three feature requests addressing this issue:Add Gender as Handling Criteria for Hostels (13 votes) Add Non-Binary as Genderline Check-In (120 votes) Add Non-Binary as Gender (26 votes)Surprisingly, all these requests are currently labeled as "Unlikely," with no roadmap commitment from the product team.I've been in touch with some hostels, particularly those offering female-only dorms. For them, having gender information before guests arrive is crucial. However, the current online check-in process only provides the choice between male and female, leaving out a significant portion, or simply not ask for this information.I'm curious to hear from other organizations. Do you consider gender information important for online check-in? A

Hi ,We've encountered an issue where, when a guest adds an extra payment method via the Guest Portal, Mews automatically charges the newly added card instead of the VCC, even when the nights are meant to be paid by a VCC.This is causing a lot of problems, as guests might not expect their personal card to be charged when the virtual card from the OTA should cover the stay. We have set up proper routings for Booking.com and Expedia, so the reception knows these reservations should be paid via VCC.Has anyone else experienced this issue? I have noticed that this was an issue before but that 4 months ago it was resolved. However I’m experiencing the issue now. Thanks in advance for your insights!Best,Emilie 

Good afternoon,Is anyone else experiencing issues with the Online Check-in process displaying the upgraded room category instead of the originally booked category (named in MEWS: Requested category) ?This can create confusion for guests who may assume the upgraded room comes with an additional charge. They will not realize that it’s a complimentary upgrade offered to them.If anyone has suggestions or insights on how to address this, your help would be greatly appreciated!Thank you,Carol

dringend suchen wir die Möglichkeit, das das Sekretariat unserer Gäste die Möglichkeit hat, sowohl eine Gastadresse anzugeben als auch  eine Rechnungsanschrift, das eine brauchen wir um gesetzeskonform zu arbeiten, das andere um Geld zu verdienen. Gleiches für den Online-Check-In und -Out.  Der Gast will die Daten einpflegen, kann er aber nicht. Stattdessen müssen wir etliche Rechnungen im Nachhinein korrigieren, umschreiben, stornieren was nur unnötige Arbeit für uns und unsere Firmenkunden darstellt.  

Does anyone know if it’s possible to use the same voucher code for two different vouchers with restrictions? In my case, I am trying to set up a voucher that provides 5% off all the time. However, on weekends that there is a concert in town, a second voucher will provide 10% off instead, on very specific dates that I was able to set up with restrictions.  However, I want these vouchers to be easy to use. I was thinking that if I used the same voucher code for both, when guests type that code in on our booking engine, it would bring up the appropriate rate based on the dates selected and the restrictions I have set up.  Has anyone done this before, or have an easier way to do it if this route isn’t feasible?  Thank you! 

Hi, is it possible to to delete the Newsletter field at the registration form?And also to delete it completely from the Guest Profil? Thank you and kind regards.Nina
