A big thank you for the replies. I have treated it as a serious request and quoted them a two week rate discounted by 10%. As others have pointed out we would lose a week because with a minimum stay of 7 days we would not be able to let the odd days. We normally do not offer discounts but would do i...

Thanks we have a similar policy. The guests are from America and I guess this is only part of their holiday and understand that travel cannot be aligned with our change over days. However the point that I could take issue with is the fact that their enquiry is for 8 days and they are looking for a d...

Is this a serious request
We have just received an enquiry for a stay in June. Our normal occupancy starts and ends on Saturdays so this is for an eight day stay starting on a Monday, which is not too unusual and we can consider. Now comes the all important question - Do we offer discounts for stays in excess of a week? Is t...

Well I cannot begin to understand Flipkey's reply as that is completely at odds with the following: - Dear Jennifer, I wanted to personally reach out to you with a unique opportunity to reactivate your account with FlipKey absolutely FREE for a full year. There is no catch to this offer and you will...

Flipkey renewal
We listed with Flipkey some time ago on a freeby, but when they implemented charges we decided not to continue. They have now come back and offered a years free listing, but with all of the changes with TA and HL I am wondering whether the effort would be worthwhile. Has anybody got anything good or...

Rentability
I still receive stats from them, but because of total inactivity over the past 2 years have just deleted them.
So I just retreived the last ones and it shows 3 visits in the past month so the trend is good!!!!

Though Jenroy's links look very interesting, so clearly it can be done. Martha thank you for the mention, but I think it is Jenny C who needs the credit for providing the evidence!!! The subject is a good one as it reminds us of when we started and the same thought process was adopted - quality vs ...

Cancellation with a twist
It has not been the best of years for us, but for one of our guests it is a lot worse. Just to paint the picture - we are just recovering from dealing with the insurance company following a break in and theft of most of the contents of our villa. Together with the need for total excavation of the ar...

A newbie arrived this morning via twitter. They do not appear to have any listings yet. This is a real start up venture with no cost to the owner, until you carefully read the T & C's where you agree to giving the 15% deposit with the site owners to cover the cost of the website. The appeal is s...

Martha, As you can gather I am very taken with your site and am trying to learn from it, but do not have the time to go throught it in detail and provide a comprehensive report so will report as I find. Your link to 'ski' on the first page goes to photos and the link to Brevant and Flegere goes to w...

But, if the watermark is too in your face, it's the viewer who will move on. This surely is the nub of the matter - HL are happy to insert their watermark, which looks to all appearances as a direct marketing ploy, however whilst the visitor to the site, brainwashed with the HL corporate ethos, wil...
