The Availability block report is where you can view your availability blocks. Availability blocks are a fixed set of inventory that you provisionally remove from your public availability:

• for private groups such as wedding parties or
• for companies or travel agencies, 
• for a contractually agreed-upon rate,
• for a fixed set of space categories within a specified time interval before creating reservations.  

To view the Availability block report in Mews Operations, 

• on your Mews Dashboard, in the Occupancy section, click on  Availability block report or,
• go to the main menu  > Reservations > Availability block report. 

 

You can also search for the report by typing in the first three letters in the main search bar at the top.

 

If your property uses connected spaces, block availability in this report reflects parent and child relationships. You can learn more in our help article Using connected spaces in availability blocks.

 

Note: Availability block rates may ignore property-level restrictions during reservation pickup, depending on your Property settings. If you exclude availability block rates from global restrictions, these rates only follow restrictions you set directly on the availability block rate or rate group. This ensures that global restrictions like closed to stay do not unintentionally prevent group bookings. You can learn more about how to manage restriction settings for availability blocks.

• Arrival and Departure: Adjust the dates; choose an interval you want to view the availability blocks for.  
• Service: Select the service you want to see the availability blocks for. For example, Day use, Stay, etc. 
• Status: Choose if you want to view Canceled, Confirmed, Optional, or Inquired blocks.     
• Company: View the blocks related to a specific company.
• Travel agency: View the blocks attached to a travel agency contract.

• Status of the block: Canceled, Confirmed, Optional, or Inquired.

• Booker: Displays the name of the Booker for whom the block was created. This is a mandatory field in the report and is always filled.
