Everything the guest buys, in one checkout
Room, package, your own and partner activities, and table bookings. One payment for the guest, one bill for reception.
Extras at your Mews prices
Sell breakfast, late check-out and transfers next to the room. Activities appear in the same list.
Mews packages and extras : Extras at your Mews prices
One bill in Mews
Every purchase is its own line on the guest's Mews bill, so reception has less to reconcile by hand.
Sell more before arrival
Most guests book activities together with their stay, but sales don't stop there. On My Trip, guests keep adding to their trip right up to arrival.
See what activities bring in
The dashboard home page shows accommodation and add-on sales separately, day by day.

Mews runs operations. Wholestay runs sales.
Reception keeps working in Mews as before: rooms, rates and bills stay there. Wholestay puts them on sale on your website and writes every booking back to Mews.

Frequently asked questions
Can't find your answer? Ask us
Do I need Mews?
Yes. Wholestay runs on top of Mews: rooms, rates and availability come from Mews, and every booking is written back to it. If you use another PMS, tell us. We pick the next systems based on demand, but we don't promise a timeline.
Does Wholestay replace the Mews booking engine?
On your website, yes: guests book through Wholestay. Mews stays your property management system, and bills and payments are handled there as before.
Is Wholestay in the Mews Marketplace?
Yes. Find Wholestay in the Mews Marketplace: you connect it from the Mews side in a few clicks, and then we get access.
How are payments and refunds handled?
Guests pay once through Mews Payments. Refunds are made in Mews just as today. Extras and activities go on the same bill, and so do restaurant table bookings if the property has a restaurant.
Can guests add activities or change times after booking?
Yes. On their own My Trip page, guests add activities and extras and change times themselves before arrival. Changes sync automatically to the activity system, Mews and the guest's trip.
Which languages can guests book in?
Finnish and English, more languages on request, in every plan. You review the translations before launch.
What about data protection?
Bookings happen on your own domain, so cookies and tracking are yours and follow your own cookie banner. We sign a data processing agreement with you.
What happens to bookings in my current booking engine?
They stay in the old system and in Mews as they are. New bookings come through Wholestay from launch day, and old links are redirected to the new engine.
Do I need to change my website?
Only once: we add one code snippet or link to your website. After that, the search bar's look is changed in the dashboard, with no need to touch the website.
