“modern PMS software
Pros
Mews is very modern because it's a cloud-based PMS with a clean, easy to use interface. Staff can learn it quickly which cuts down training time and helps daily operations run more smoothly. Another big advantage is the range of integrations and automations available through the Mews marketplace. Also it is easy to connect with third-party tools like revenue management systems, POS platforms and channel managers.
Cons
The biggest limitation is around reporting and customization. The standard reports and built-in customization options are a bit restricted, so getting more detailed operational or financial insight often means relying on outside tools or doing extra manual work.

“standout for integrations
Pros
One of Mews biggest strengths is how flexible and integration friendly it is. That makes it easy to connect with other systems and adjust as business needs change. The support team also responds quickly and clearly knows the product well which is very helpful during technical setups or more complex configurations. Plus the interface is user-friendly and well built for daily operations. The automation for rate and product updates whether done directly in the system or through the API cuts down a lot of manual work and saves significant time. Another major benefit is being able to handle a wide mix of bookable services in one platform, from long stay, mid stay and short stay options to parking, MICE and even hourly services. This makes it a strong choice for hospitality businesses focused on efficiency and growth.
Cons
I noticed that the more advanced capabilities, particularly around event management and custom reporting are still somewhat limited or depend on workarounds.

“Modern pms with powerful integrations
Pros
Working with this software has been a positive experience. It's a modern, cloud based PMS with an user friendly interface so staff can pick it up quickly and start using it without much training. That really helps cut down onboarding time and makes daily operations more efficient. Another big advantage is the range of integrations and automations available through its marketplace. It connects well with a lot of third party systems including revenue management tools, POS platforms, channel managers and more.
Cons
An area that could be better is reporting and customization. The built in reports and customization features feel somewhat limited so getting more detailed operational or financial insights often requires manual work or the use of external tools.

One thing that really stands out is the Mews Marketplace as it offers a wide range of apps that connect with Mews and the setup process is very easy.

There is not much to complain about with�the platform�overall. The one downside is that credit card processing runs through a�platform�master account, so there is no direct relationship with the card processor which makes dispute handling and accounting reconciliation more complicated.

Pros
Mews has made a huge difference for us at the front desk. The automated processes especially payment handling, make our daily workflow much more manageable. We also really value the kiosk integration because it means we do not have to rely on third-party providers. On top of that Mews helps us save a lot of paper. Lists are digital now, both for breakfast service and housekeeping. The overall automation, including the guest journey, gives us more time to focus on guests on site.

The interface is also clean and user friendly, so it's pleasant to use and the integrations plus the open ecosystem make it very flexible.

“broken promises and no accountability
Pros
At first, Mews looked like the perfect PMS. The idea of a modern, cloud based platform that would make daily operations easier sounded great. The booking engine was presented as sleek and powerful, able to handle everything from upsells to cancellations without trouble. We were also sold on the promise of AI-driven support being available whenever needed. Sadly that was not the reality at all. Guests still cannot cancel reservations through the portal like we were told. Adding extras or upsells during booking is so limited that it would actually cost us revenue. The system keeps opening new browser tabs instead of letting us work in one organized window. And the interface itself is confusing, awkward and far from user friendly.
Cons
The worst part has been the complete lack of honesty and accountability. Every time we raised problems, the response was either excuses, delays or no reply at all. I even sent a formal termination letter on Monday and days later there was still no response. That says everything about the level of customer care they provide.

Pros
At first glance it looked like exactly the kind of PMS we wanted. The idea of a modern cloud based platform that would organize daily operations sounded perfect. The booking engine was presented as a polished tool that could manage everything from upsells to cancellations without trouble and the AI support was supposed to be available whenever help was needed. But in actual use none of those promises matched reality. Guests are unable to cancel reservations through the portal the way we were told they could. Adding extras or upsells during the booking process is so limited that it would actually hurt our revenue. The system keeps opening separate browser tabs instead of letting us work efficiently in one window. Also the interface is confusing, awkward and far from user friendly.
Cons
Worst of all was the lack of transparency and responsibility. Every time we raised a problem the response was either an excuse, a delay or no reply at all. I sent a formal termination notice on Monday and several days later there was still no acknowledgment. That says everything about the level of customer support we received.

Pros
After using it for quite a while, we're genuinely thrilled not just with the software itself but especially with the company's overall mindset. It does not build features in isolation or without considering real world needs as they develop the product alongside the people who actually use it. User feedback is clearly taken seriously, shared internally and often reflected directly in ongoing improvements. That really gives us the sense that our voice matters as customers. The system itself is user friendly, modern and thoughtfully designed. Overall it's enjoyable to use and has made many parts of our daily work noticeably easier.
Cons

“Automation handles the heavy work
Pros
Running HOLI City Apart Hotel in Berlin, I have been genuinely impressed by Mews. It's a modern, well-designed PMS/POS system that takes a lot of work off our plate while also improving the service we can offer our guests. The interface is clean, well-organized and easy to use, with plenty of customization options especially in reporting which is essential for our daily operations. One of the biggest advantages for us has been the large number of integrations available. They've let us connect our existing systems to it without hassle and automate many processes along the way. In payments, it saves us valuable time every day. Automatic processing of virtual credit cards reduces errors and takes pressure off the team. The POS integration also went smoothly as the switch from our previous provider was easy and the system has been stable and reliable ever since. The team also deserves a lot of credit. From setup and training to ongoing support, we felt professionally guided at every stage. The developers also seem to constantly come up with practical new features that make daily work even more efficient. Online check-in and upselling have been especially valuable, improving both our guest reviews and our revenue.
Cons
Nothing major but a few smaller things we'd like to see added in the future, such as automatic invoice reductions for no-shows or automatic feedback sent to OTAs. That said, I am confident these points will be addressed too. The platform keeps evolving, listens to user feedback and continues to bring real innovation to hotel management.

Mews really stands out for its automation and how simple it is to use day to day. Tools like online check-in and check-out, automated payments and live updates between departments help us save a lot of time and cut down on manual mistakes. The interface is modern and user friendly, so training new staff is much easier than with other systems. Plus being able to access it from anywhere is another major advantage.
Cons
The weakest area for us is the business intelligence reporting. It does start to work better once you understand how it functions and spend some time getting familiar with it.

“Everything organized in one place
Pros
Compared with other property management systems I have used, I have rarely had trouble with Mews because the information is arranged in a very practical way. Guest details, reservations and payment information can all be accessed through different paths, so you don't have to follow one strict process just to find everyday details. A good example is the search bar which can filter through all reservations using just one reference number or a guest name. The Action Log is especially helpful because it shows the latest updates in each section, including who made the change and on what date. That makes it much easier to follow long-running guest procedures and figure out what happened later on when there has been a miscommunication.
Cons
There is a lot of value in how much information is available within just a few steps and the overall design looks modern and professional. At the same time, when I was learning how to use it, the layout and report views felt overloaded because there was so much information presented without much visual emphasis. I ended up memorizing the steps to reach things rather than recognizing them by how they looked, since most of�the interface�uses black, grey and white. I am not saying it needs to be overly colorful but certain things like prices or important notes would be easier to catch if they were highlighted more clearly.

Pros
For properties focused on holiday stays, the platform can work reasonably well especially when you do not deal with business guests, company bookings or cost assumption declarations. In that kind of setup, the system seems to function fine enough.
Cons
When it comes to business partners, the payment options are lacking and the whole workflow is extremely frustrating. Business customers cannot add their company address during the booking process which means every business invoice has to be canceled and recreated manually afterward. That is a very messy way to work. Support has also been disappointing because when you are getting started with�this platform, there is basically nobody available to guide you or answer questions.

There is not much to complain about but one thing to keep in mind is that it works very differently from a legacy system where you might only pay for an upgrade every year or two to access new features. With�this platform, updates roll out all the time, usually every week, sometimes major and sometimes minor. That means you and your staff have to stay attentive, keep learning and keep adapting to make the most of everything�the system�offers. With that level of functionality comes the responsibility to actually keep up with it.

“Missing basics and poor support
Pros
The booking engine is decent and even the sales rep's accent was pleasant.
Cons
There's no reconciliation, no batching and no night audit which creates a lot of unnecessary trouble. Payouts can take up to six days and they also keep part of your money as a reserve. Also their fees are deducted from every deposit instead of being charged monthly. Getting actual human support is nearly impossible (calls aren't returned, questions go unanswered and nothing gets properly explained). None of these issues were made clear during the buying process and if they had been we never would have chosen this system.

“powerhouse for hotels
Pros
After spending most of my time in the backend switching to this about five years ago has been a game changer for both me and the hotel. The number of integrations it offers and how smoothly they connect is on a completely different level from anything I had seen before. If you're still stuck on a legacy system moving to this software can open up a lot more revenue opportunities.
Cons
Really isn't much to complain about but one thing to keep in mind is that this isn't like an old legacy system where you pay for an upgrade every year or two and then just carry on. Here new features roll out constantly sometimes weekly with some updates being minor and others much more significant. To really get the full value you and your staff have to stay aware of what's changing and keep adapting along with the system. The functions are impressive but it does require ongoing attention to use them properly.

“Company constantly seeks feedback
Pros
After working with Mews for the past 4 years, it's been impressive to see how quickly the company has grown. They've created a really strong product backed by an excellent team that is constantly asking for feedback to keep improving and move closer to the ideal PMS. The integrations are fantastic, the customer support is excellent and the technology is reliable and highly efficient.
Cons
They keeps improving the product and clearly spends a lot of time listening carefully to client feedback.

“Automation frees staff for guests
Pros
Running daily operations is much more streamlined with Mews. The interface is user-friendly and a lot of manual work is automated which gives our staff more time to focus on delivering better guest service. It also fits well with what modern travelers expect especially with contactless features and online check-in that make arrivals faster and more convenient. On the business side, the flexible rate management and the option to monetize extra spaces have helped us improve our pricing approach and uncover additional revenue opportunities. I am also very pleased with how committed they are to ongoing development. The beta program gives us a chance to try new features early and share feedback which helps keep Mews innovative and aligned with the needs of the hospitality industry.
Cons
The reporting tools are good overall but I'd still welcome more customization for deeper analysis. Having more flexible reporting options would make it easier to drill down into the data and get a more detailed view of hotel performance.

“Amazing support
Pros
It's been impressive to watch how quickly the company has grown after using this software for a few years. They've built an excellent product and a strong team and they're always asking for feedback so they can keep refining the PMS. The integrations are great, the customer support is excellent and the technology is reliable and highly efficient.
Cons
Nothing negative to point out that they aren't already actively addressing. It continues to improve its products and clearly invests a lot of time in listening to client feedback.

“good features and stronger revenue
Pros
Daily operations run much more efficiently with this software and the interface is easy enough that the team picked it up quickly. Because so many routine tasks are automated our staff can spend more time taking care of guests instead of dealing with manual admin work which has been a big plus overall. It also fits well with what modern travelers expect. Features like online check in and contactless options make arrivals faster and more convenient and guests really appreciate that added flexibility. On the business side it gives us more room to improve revenue through flexible rate management and by helping us monetize additional spaces. That has made it easier to fine tune pricing and uncover extra income opportunities. Another thing I value is how focused they are on continued development. The beta program lets us try upcoming features and share feedback which makes it feel like the platform is constantly evolving with the needs of the hospitality industry.
Cons
The reporting tools are solid overall but I would still welcome more customization for deeper analysis. Having more flexible reporting options would make it easier to drill down into the data and get a more detailed view of hotel performance.

“Updates have always proven beneficial
Pros
Between the integrations, automatic payments tied to the rate structure, the sleek booking engine, the user-friendly setup and the support team, There is a lot to appreciate here. They also keep rolling out updates and improvements based on feedback from properties which makes the platform feel like it's always moving in the right direction.
Cons
It would be even better if�the platform�included more built-in tools especially for revenue management and a stronger guest messaging system.

“much needed integrations
Pros
From the integrations to the automatic payments tied to the rate structure this software has been a pleasure to use. The booking engine looks sleek, the system is simple to figure out and the support team has been consistently helpful. I also appreciate that they keep improving the platform based on feedback from properties.

I'd still like to see more built in functions especially around revenue management and a stronger guest messaging platform.

“Continuously developing
Pros
The product is very flexible and the wide range of integrations is a big advantage. It's also clear that the platform is being continuously developed, with regular improvements that make the product better over time.
Cons
One area that still needs work is support handling. A dedicated support portal for tracking tickets would make a big difference because right now following up on older issues means digging through past emails and each reply from�the company�starts a separate email thread without much context.

“Platform with constant innovation
Pros
The platform is really flexible, offers a wide range of integrations and keeps evolving with continuous updates that improve the product over time.
Cons
One frustration is how support emails are managed. A dedicated support portal for tracking tickets would make a big difference because right now following up on older issues means digging through old emails and every reply from them starts a separate thread without any context.

Pros
Beyond the online booking side of things, Mews provides several tools that simplify day-to-day work which helps staff stay more attentive and available for guests.
Cons
Since we were using the trial version, I am not sure whether we actually had access to all of the features.

“Great for room booking management
Pros
If you're looking for software to handle room management and a booking engine, this does the job really well. We use it for a wedding venue, though and it hasn't been quite as flexible or adaptable for our setup as we had hoped.
Cons
Getting started was pretty complicated and most of the setup work fell on the venue side. We also had a lot of prepaid deposits to transfer from our old system and that process had to be done manually.
