Lay My Hat

This is the first time I have replied to a suspicious enquiry and my gut feeling proved to be right. The enquiry came via Homelidays and using a yahoo.com address. This was the first contact from the scammer: Dear Sir/Ma, i will like to know the availabiltiy, prize of you rooms for rent....Myself an...

We only have daily rates and apply discounts for longer lets. I think this is a more attractive formula because you apply discounts rather than extra charges. We had demand for shorts stays only and created the 6x5 promotion to try and get longer bookings. With 6x5, the guests get to stay 6 nights f...

I’ve had GA for a while now and found it quite (but not very) useful. I know it’s down to the fact that I don’t know how to use most of the data. :oops: Only yesterday a made a huge discovery though and something I had been looking for for a long time. You can tell what sites the person that s...

Thanks.

I agree with the fact that quoting a surcharge is not the best approach. What we do for New Year and Easter is to create a package. This year’s New Year’s package includes accommodation for 4 nights, flexible dates, and 495 Euros. This is not a surcharge but the New Year’s package. So far I’...

google.com have PR8. So yes, 8-9 would be ideal but just a tad hard.

I think MG meant Page 2 rather than PR2. domuscolosseo does not seem to have a ranking yet.

MG, I am not sure I understand your question. You want to add the analytics code to your listing, is that it? You would need to change the HTML code of your page but you don’t have access to it.

Nice to be of some help.

Finally, and most importantly, I get more bookings by picking up the phone compared to just an email reply I checked my stats yesterday. About 1/3 of my enquiries are over the phone. However, 70% of my bookings come from those enquiries. I guess this either means that I can deal with enquiries bett...

Hi Pabbers. This would explain a few things. Thanks for the info.

Had a quick look for you, they are not as expensive as I thought they would be.

As Mouse says, they are coated in a variety of colours. Well, not that each blind has a variety of colours, although you could, really, I guess, if you wanted to. (I can confuse too, even myself). Balcony ones break because they are sooooo heavy. I have experience on that, believe me. You have to ta...

Christine, Helene, I think you may have a point there. In a way, no, the enquiries are not for out of season dates, they are for Christmas, New Year and some Spanish bank holidays happening before the end of the year. These are all very popular dates and often people struggle to find accommodation. ...

Ros, the metal ones that you have seen are actually made of aluminium. They are lighter and stronger than the plastic ones and no, they don’t need any maintenance apart from cleaning. Breaking slats is a common problem and it tends to happen more often when the blinds are big, like balcony windows...
