Mews PMS & Property Operations

We have multiple integrations with tour operators, including Booking.com. With some of these partners, we settle commissions. Mews currently offers a global commission calculation, but this setup is insufficient for our Finance department.For example, if the commission is 15% and the hotel price (including breakfast but excluding city tax) is €100 on Booking.com, is there a way to record €15 as commission and €85 as accommodation & breakfast?If so, could you please advise how we can configure this in Mews?It’s important that the guest does not see the split between the commission and the accommodation.Thank you in advance for your help.

At my property, we have poolside cabanas we rent and they have been set up as Daily rentals. However, Friday through Sunday, there are two day part rental options, one for 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM and another for 4:30 PM - 9:00 PM (when we have poolside entertainment on the pool deck).I set them up in early 2024 as three different bookable services, one for Monday through Thursday with one day part, 11:00 AM - 6:00 PM, one for Friday through Sunday, 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM, and one for Friday through Sunday, 4:30 PM - 9:00 PM, doing so because I believed at the time it would not be possible to make the three different options bookable through a single bookable service.Now, more than a year later, have I overcomplicated this and is it possible for me to make this a single bookable service? Understanding I can change the rate plan by day of the week, how would it be possible to have two different day parts within one bookable service? On our website,

We have some bookings under dedicated rate codes where we need to stay alert and take action when a reservation comes through those channels.Question: Does anyone know if it’s possible to set up a rate code so that a Task is automatically generated when a booking is created?Someone mentioned adding a “phony” bookable item that’s linked to a task — Linked to the ratecode that way, a task would be created for us to act on.Does anyone know if that works and how? Many thanks! 🌼

Hello,is there a way to hide the room rate on the reservation confirmation when the guest has made their booking through an OTA that will pay for the room with a VCC? Our issue is with Expedia bookings that are paid with Expedia VCC; and we receive Expedia reservations through iHotelier channel manager.I know that there is a general setting to exclude reservation confirmation sending for bookings through a channel manager, and that the email editor has a condition ‘Unless there is a travel agency’ available, and that by configuring billing automation the room charges can be directed to the OTA. We do want to send the reservation confirmation to the guests booking through an OTA  We would like exclude specific OTA bookings, like Expedia channel-collect bookings, from having the room rate displayed.  I believe - I do NOT know as I haven’t tested this - the billing automation cannot be modified so that the room charges are routed to

Ist es richtig, dass man die auszuwählenden Klassifizierungen (Fluggesellschaft, Militär, wichtig,...) nicht ändern kann? Ist das in nächster Zeit geplant? Das wäre sehr wichtig - sicher nicht nur für uns. Vor allem in Bezug auf unser CRM für die Übertragung der Kundenkategorie… Bitte um Rückmeldung! 

What is going on with the rate management? Until yesterday I could simply select a date, a window would open up, and I could override the price.Now I first have to select the date, then a window opens with the pricing details, then I have to select ‘edit’, then I have to select the date, and only then can I change the price (‘Base price (incl. tax)’*)Is this something temporary? 

If I want to block out dates for certain room types, I need to create a restriction for each space category separately which is time consuming plus confusing as at some point you might delete a restriction and as there are so many, mistakes could be madeI have 8 roomtypes, and only want to sell 1 category during certain dates. That means I need to create 7 restrictions. it would be easier if we could select from the list on which categories it applies. At the moment this is not possible, you can only select 1  category (it’s one or all categories)

We gonna using the new mailing editor pretty soon, and with the merge-tags and conditions there are quite a few very powerful options to customize the mailings.We want to utilize the conditions and therefore my question is:Is there any kind of documentation about the available variables?With the prebuilt conditions i can see that there are different data objects like reservation or enterprise that contain multiple sub informations / properties accessed in the condition like enterprise.logo or reservation.nights. I haven’t found any information about these objects in the help articles so a way to check what variables can be used in there would be awesome.Maybe there is a console statement to log the information of these variables … something like this:console.log( mews.mailingeditor.variables)

We gonna use the new Mews mailing editor soon and there is one question i have:How do i copy contents from one mailing to another?Create the same contents over and over via the editor interface is extremely tedious so there has to be a way to copy these contents i guess … i’ve found a “import” menu point that is accessible via the three dots menu so maybe there is a way to import a template. Any infos on that?

Hi there!There is an “Import” button under the three-doted menu button in the Email template builder: Does anybody know what that does? It opens a file open dialog where .json files can be selected, but what kind of json files are supposed to be imported?I looked at the help file but found nothing explaining it. Or did I miss it?Kind regards,JP.

Ich komme noch einmal auf das Thema zurück. Vielleicht habe ich es nicht richtig verstanden: Preise und Restriktionen kann man für alle Zeiträume eingebenBuchbarkeit ist jedoch auf 365 Tage beschränkt Wie kann ich den Buchbarkeitszeitraum für uns intern und unserer Website öffnen? Oder müsste ich da mit anderen Raten arbeiten? Wir haben Gruppen, die teilweise 2 Jahre im Voraus buchen und können diese nicht eingeben. Welche Möglichkeit gibt es da?Danke für die Hilfe

Hallo zusammen,wir sind von HS3 zu Mews gewechselt. In HS3 haben wir mit sogenannten Dummy-Zimmern gearbeitet, um Gäste auf eine Warteliste zu setzen, wenn wir zum Zeitpunkt der Anfrage ausgebucht waren. Sobald ein Zimmer wieder frei wurde, konnten wir die jeweilige Person unkompliziert übernehmen.In Mews stoßen wir hier an Grenzen:Wenn wir zur internen Planung eine Überbuchung anlegen, lässt sich zwar die automatische Buchungsbestätigung unterdrücken, allerdings erhält der Gast dennoch im nächsten Schritt automatisch den Online-Check-in-Link und weitere Informationen. Das vermittelt schnell den Eindruck, dass das Zimmer bereits sicher sei, obwohl intern noch keine finale Zusage vorliegt.Dummy-Zimmer sind leider keine Option, da sie in allen Statistiken und in der Buchungsstrecke erscheinen, also weder intern noch extern geeignet.Wie geht ihr mit solchen Fällen um? Gibt es bei euch eine praxistaugliche Lösung, um Gäste intern als „Wart

Hi everyone, My Team have noticed that when we look at a guest billing page and they have future reservations the bills do not display in chronological date order.A future stay for next year will sit above the stay for today and one for next week for example and it really confuses new hires. Also, why when we add a new product, it automatically makes a new bill now?This update is a wasting on our property and we waste a lot of time merging bills back together.Am I missing something?Does anyone have any tips on how to revert back to before the last update or to amend our property specifically? Any advice would be great. Thanks! 

Hello Mews Community, We would likes to offer a Black Friday promotion! From 31 October to 31 December (booking window) guests will be able to use a special voucher code when booking via our website. This voucher allows them to reserve stays for the entire year of 2026. Important details: The voucher applies only to a non-refundable rate, already discounted by 20%. This special non-refundable rate is valid for Suite categories only. All other (standard) rates remain available for all room categories and dates (outside the voucher-only setup). To participate, guests enter the voucher code at booking. We’d like if the MewsTeam could share more details and tutorials. Thank you!

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 wit

Hallo zusammen, mich interessiert das Thema vorzeitiger Check-out. Ein Gast bleibt beispielsweise vom 19.10. bis 23.10. und hat seine Rechnung bereits beglichen. Am 22.10. teilt er mir mit, dass er um 18:00 Uhr abreisen wird und er ist einverstanden, dass ich 100% Stornogebühren berechne bzw dass er kein geld zurück kriegt. Wenn ich jedoch das Abreisedatum in den Eigenschaften ändere, werden mir Stornokosten gutgeschrieben, die ich ausgleichen muss. Das möchte ich aber vermeiden und keine Stornokosten im Bericht haben. Gibt es eine Möglichkeit, einen manuellen Check-out durchzuführen, ohne eine Gutschrift zu erstellen?

Is it possible to enter instalments for longer than one year in advance? I can only find the option for 365 days. Thank you.

Hallo in die Runde, ich wollte mal nach Euren Tipps zu einem guten Workflow bei selbst zuzahlenden Leistungen bei Tagungsteilnehmern fragen: Wie legt ihr unkompliziert die jeweiligen Rechnungsanschriften an?Wie ordnet ihr Restaurantbelege korrekt zu?Wie bucht ihr Leistungen, die nicht von der Firma übernommen unkompliziert, am besten in einem Rutsch, auf die jeweiligen Teilnehmer? Ich freue mich auf Eure Tipps und Tricks. Vielen Dank. Carina 

Hallo Community, mir ist die Berechnung der Bettensteuer nicht ganz verständlich. Laut Gesetz muss sie auf den Nettoübernachtungspreis ohne Umsatzsteuer berechnet werden. In unseren Buchungen wird jedoch offenbar der Bruttobetrag (inklusive Umsatzsteuer) als Grundlage verwendet.  In dem Fall sind es 41,66 € (7.5%) vom Bruttobetrag (555,40 €). Gesetzestext: > Die Steuer bemisst sich nach dem Aufwand für die Übernachtung ohne Umsatzsteuer und ohne den Aufwand für andere Dienstleistungen.Link zum Gesetzestext: https://gesetze.berlin.de/bsbe/document/jlr-%C3%9CnStGBEpP4  Meine Fragen: Ist bei uns eventuell eine falsche Einstellung hinterlegt? Oder wird die Berechnung von Mews möglicherweise automatisch so vorgenommen?
