If bookings need follow-ups, your flow is broken

A flexible booking layer built on top of Mews

A custom booking flow guides guests from first click to confirmed stay, collecting the right details, showing clear pricing, and handling contracts and payments in one place.

Everything syncs with Mews, so your team spends less time fixing bookings and more time focusing on guests.

case study

Student housing, without manual onboarding

"Managing nearly 500 student units would have been impossible with manual forms and emails.The Custom Booking Engine allowed us to collect all student information, contracts, and payments in one flow. It gave us the scalable foundation we needed as we expanded to four new properties across Spain."

Structured booking for long stays

“Guests dropped off when they couldn’t find the right stay or understand pricing.  The Custom Booking Engine gave us a clear, structured flow that matches how we actually sell long stays.”

case study

We’re not correcting bookings anymore

"I’m really pleased with the results and enjoyed working with you all on this new booking engine. Mews never really let us meet our clients’ needs. Our offer is quite unique and our retreat house doesn’t operate like a typical hotel, so making Mews fit was tough, but the default booking engine was a real headache. Now, we finally see some progress and I’m confident we’ll get lots of positive feedback. Working with your team was not only easy, but you've helped us even improve the booking process."

FAQs

What is the Custom Booking Engine?

A flexible booking layer on top of Mews that lets you design your own booking flow, capture the data you need, and improve conversion without changing your PMS.

How is this different from the standard Mews booking engine?

Mews handles reservations and inventory.
 We customize the guest experience before and around that.
 That means better UX, more control over the flow, and the ability to collect data and upsell in ways Mews doesn’t support out of the box.

Do I need to learn a new tool or manage this myself?

No.
 We design, configure, and implement everything with you.
 You don’t need to learn a new system or manage technical setup.

How does it integrate with Mews?

Directly via the Mews API.
 All availability, pricing, reservations, and payments stay in Mews.
 We don’t replace your PMS, we extend it.

How long does it take to go live?

Typically 2 to 6 weeks.
 It depends on the complexity of your booking flow, number of properties, and any custom requirements.

Can we customize the booking flow to match our business model?

Yes.
 You can define the steps, structure, and logic of the flow.
 Examples include long-stay logic, retreat bookings, per-person pricing, add-ons, data collection, and pre-arrival steps.

Can I collect custom guest information?

Yes. You can collect details like travel schedules, dietary preferences, consent forms, and contract signatures before arrival.

Does this help increase direct bookings or revenue?

Yes.
 By improving clarity, reducing friction, and enabling upsells and personalization, most clients see higher conversion rates and more direct revenue.

Can this connect to our CRM like HubSpot?

Yes.
 We can sync booking and guest data into HubSpot or other tools to enable automation, segmentation, and personalized communication.

What does pricing look like?

There is a one-time setup fee based on complexity, and a monthly fee based on usage (typically per room or property).
 We’ll define this clearly after a short discovery call.
