Re-pricing to allow for spiraling energy costs
My head is spinning. Moreso than normal. We knew that all hosts will need to consider raising prices fairly dramatically to account for the increased energy costs. We've done nothing about it yet because we have been on the new tariffs for just a few months while the need for heating has been low. T...

Text enquiry response to Facebook ad
This is a new one to me, so I thought I'd mention it: I get a text on my phone: Hi, Is your ad on Facebook still available? https://fb-ads-9291112.000webhostapp.com/id/manager/ and, as you'd expect, it leads to a fake FB login page. I've changed one digit in the URL to ensure that it doesn't work. W...

I have the answer from them and it's not a good one: We recently made some changes to our calendar sync functionality, and we only work with a select list of calendar providers. I will submit your request to the relevant team but cannot promise that it will be added. You currently can work with the ...

holidayLettings / TripAdvisor calendar import bug
TripAdvisor is failing to pick up the linked calendar for both of our listings. It has even lost the linked calendar settings and fails to store them when we re-enter them.
I have no idea how long this problem has existed. I've contacted their support today.
Anyone else got this problem?

I do remember a problem like that from long ago on TripAdvisor. Their system didn't understand geography too well. We worked around it, in the end, by moving our property to a different (nearby) location. If I remember it right, it didn't involve a move of the pin on the map, but it did involve a ch...

Hi Nigel. The thing that impresses me most about OH is the quantity of listings that you have. You must have worked really hard on convincing the Property Managers to list and then to have worked really hard on the data integrations. What I'm not impressed by is the experience as a guest: I open the...

Security deposit shocker
Here's what our would-be guest said: I’m just a little concerned about such a big security deposit - it doesn’t sit right with me, so we won’t be going ahead. It's not as if she has accidentally added a zero on to the end of the deposit amount as she mentioned the amount in an earlier email and I co...

If credible is what you are after, I think that nothing beats photos of a visitors book, like:

You can't fake that.
