KWHotel vs Mews Accounting

KWHotel is hotel management software for handling reservations, room details, rates, and guest records. Its desktop product is aimed at small and medium accommodation facilities and is deployed on-premise. KWHotel Cloud PMS makes reservations, rate plans, and guest information available from internet-connected devices, and syncs reservation data with KWHotel Pro desktop software. The cloud service can be used on iOS and Android through a browser or a home-screen shortcut. A separate Cloud Channel Manager syncs availability with online travel agencies; the booking engine is another edition-dependent feature. KWHotel Booking Engine supports nine languages and nine payment gateways and charges no commission on bookings made through it. Listed connections include YieldPlanet, SiteMinder, WuBook, Booking.com, Expedia, SMSAPI, POSbistro, and Espago. SMSAPI, POSbistro, and Espago are described for messaging, point of sale, and card payments. The booking engine can show hotel and GDPR regulations to guests when applicable. KWHotel advertises technical support by email, Skype, and phone, with remote connection through TeamViewer if needed. KWHotel Free is listed at free; feature availability varies by edition.

Mews Accounting is hotel accounting software that updates financial information from deposits through checkout and invoicing in real time. Its live ledger tracks deposits, in-stay balances, and receivables, with drill-down from totals to individual bills. Teams can download a date-locked trial balance as PDF or Excel, with taxes separated from revenue across rooms and outlets. Charge-routing rules assign nights, taxes, and extras to a guest, company, or group organizer, with reservation- or guest-level exceptions. Built-in Accounts Receivable supports invoice issuance through reconciliation; teams can also send reminder batches, produce company statements, pause reminders during disputes, and share reminder history. Shared settings and templates support consistent revenue categories and accounting mappings across properties. Ledger and trial-balance data can be exported as PDF, Excel, or CSV, or supplied through open APIs. Mews names QuickBooks, Xero, and Yardi among integrations and links to a marketplace with more than 1,000 integrations. It runs on web and through an API. Pricing is on request, varies by property, and payment processing fees are separate from the subscription.
