Re: Electricity prices / guest usage rules / price hikes since booking
Thank you CSE that second link is the most informative I've seen. It seems very unfair on people like me who changed contracts after 26th April. In June, July and, especially, in August, gas has reached scandalous prices, of up to €250/MWh. In addition, a large amount has been used to generate elect...

It also includes, Mecanismo de Ajuste Real Decreto-Ley 10/2022 121,11€ I found an explanation but I'm none the wiser, anyone up to speed with ...

We generally have guests staying for 6-10 weeks in the winter. Normally they bring a dog. We offer a 20% discount on stays of 4 weeks or more. On the plus side it gives us winter income and keeps the property aired. The down side for us depends on how much heating they need to use with rising fuel p...

If you log in to their extranet you can see guests phone numbers, their unique bookingdotcom email address and you can msg them through their webs...

I have checked the Goldcar conditions and it states. Charge for 'special cleaning' for the costs incurred from an additional valeting service arising from the clearly inadequate state of the vehicle at the time of its return, with a maximum charge of €150. So I don't think they will get any joy. Jus...

I know about Goldcar and even advise people not to use them on my website. There was no option in this instance at short notice, I even tried all the local companies here. Thanks for the complaints idea, I will look into that, we have a complaints book for our accommodation, thankfully we haven't ha...

Been with SH since 2005. Couldn't decide about Bookiply and let them talk me into signing with them for SH but not any of their other links, vrbo etc. They rewrote my copy, which was awful and I never felt comfortable about them so have de-listed. I am with Campaya which was the offshoot of SH and h...

A few weeks ago I thought I would list with Bookiply (not bookify which I have called it by mistake) now when I log in I can see my 2 spain holiday properties, imported and waiting for me to sign the contract, which I will not do. I was on commission with SH so have not lost anything. They only have...
