Just wanted to say thanks to everyone I have had contact with on the forum. We have sold our guesthouse in Spain and are taking time out before deciding on our next adventure. I will be sure to let the new owners know about this wonderful site. Adios...Jaxdon

Just to make you all smile! (I have a Pensíon in Spain (Guesthouse) Had a very posh french lady come to ask if I had a room available for maybe up to 5 nights. Yes, of course come in and I show her the available rooms. She decides to take the larger room but I let her have it at the price of a singl...

Jaxdon, I am sorry for you. Would you like to listen to my experience for Easter? The nicest guy on earth calls me saying they are 10 (mixed group). Me: You're too many He: Actualy we are 11, so we might need 2 apartments. Me: Good! He: Actually it will be the 6 of us (did not mention they were al ...

Booked solid over easter, all 3 or 4 night bookings. think it was because the weather was so good and a lot of people from Madrid fancied a few nights at the coast. Also just had 5 rooms in for 4 nights but now nothing until mid May. Already 3 bookings for Mid July when we have our moors and christi...

Slightly different for me as I own a guesthouse with 5 letting rooms. However, I can tell you that even a small group can cause mayhem. Having just had 4 spanish guys in (only 3 had booked and the other one seemed to think that if he pulled his hoodie over his head I wouldnt see him - what age? 26!)...

I received an enquiry through my listing on Idealista. It seemed genuine enough, asking for more details of the property and the best price we would accept. I have now had another email from them...see below! I had heard this type of email was doing the rounds. Please watch out for anything similar....

Boilers drive me mad. As the weather changes so does the setting on the boiler. But, I have found that I can adjust them myself now. Also in spain we have a filter on each tap and in the shower heads and when this gets clogged with sediment the pressure drops. Unscrew filter, clean with a little bru...

We have four rooms plus a personal studio which we use for overflow, particularly in july/august. We had 100% occupancy in these two months with 78% june and sept. Last year we turned over 24k which is definetly enough to live on. We can run the business ourselves on 4 rooms (plus the studio) but wo...

We also have a bnb for sale in valencia region, spain. Not because it is a failing business, on the contrary, but with ailing parents in the UK we are spending more time there. I love this business and really dont want to give it up but we hope to sell, regroup and in the future do the same again.

I also had an email from this guy just this week.
