Thanks for this codliveroil. I have received no email but just checked my booking policy and the new terms have been applied. I have emailed to ask if I can opt out, and if not I would like to unlist my property. It won't make much difference to them, bookings via this platform are few and far betwe...

Her flights are booked, if this booking falls through she might well struggle to find a 15 night stay, with an early check-in and late checkout for the price of a 14 night stay at 2018 rates. How would I react? To be honest, based on your experience of this guest, I would be happy to let this bookin...

Is the second cleaner coming in to do work that your own cleaner doesn't do, ie extra work? Or to help your cleaner who can't manage the normal work on a particular day due to her condition? If it's the former, I would pay her the same hourly rate as the first cleaner. Much as I sympathise with your...

Anglo, my listing is pay per booking on HomeAway. I have the new nightly rate calendar only - the old rates table has gone. I spent a week in January adjusting rates across listing sites and my own website, taking into account exchange rates, commission rates, minimum stays, etc. And then they do th...

HomeAway rates change
Just signed in to HomeAway to answer an enquiry which involved checking my nightly rates. It's all changed! The prices are all now listed nightly with a discount for stays of 7 nights or more, I have very little availability now for July/Aug - just a few nights here and there (flexible changeover da...

Andrew, the payment provider switch was from Yapstone to HomeAway UK according to the email I received. Many thanks for your information on the pledge, as opposed to a contract clause. I've jumped through every hoop HomeAway have asked of us but bookings via their platform have nosedived (on the plu...

I had the same thing from HomeAway, there is a clause in there that you will not offer lower prices anywhere else and that you will honour all quotations provided by HomeAway. I was separately asked to confirm that I would switch from Yapstone to HomeAway for payments. I ignored the pledge but confi...

I'm definitely completing the form. If enough holiday rental owners complete it we have more chance of our views being taken into account, or it might prompt them to investigate our concerns. Even if no action is taken, publicity surrounding this might encourage consumers to go beyond the OTAs when ...
