Re: Airbnb extenuating circumstances

Thanks for the replies, especially the part about guests becoming aware of “how to get a free holiday” by using ABNB and complaining. I think I will just use ABNB for the weeks I suspect may not sell via my other OTA’s. I usually find that a lot of my bookings are made two or three months in advance...

Airbnb extenuating circumstances

Firstly, I would like to say a big thank you to Paolo for the new advice on the LMH website – it has been really useful.

I don't post much on LMH as I'm a relative newbie (3 years trading) and don't feel that I have much to give to the forum, but I would like to share this experience. I'm a bit of an anologue person living in a digital age. I've always been of the opinion that there isn't much point bothering with Fac...

Hello, I'm a relatively new owner (stared 2013/14) and have found that Homeaway (and Owners Direct) plus Holidaylettings (Tripadvisor) have accounted for a very large chunk of our enquiries and bookings so far.
