Holiday lettings availability calendar
Holiday lettings availability calendar
I don't know if anyone else has an issue with this calendar? I had an email today saying they have now "improved" their calendar by striking through the dates that are booked.
When I looked at my calendar I noticed that the changeover days were struck through as well. I was not happy about that and phoned Holiday lettings to tell them but they seemed to think it was a better option They told me that people with IE 7 have problems seeing the colours, but surely this is down to IE 7 to correct rather than us having to change a good system?
If I were looking for a holiday period from the availability calendar, I would presume the days that are struck through could not be booked, when in fact they are changeover days and could be booked. (not sure if I'm making much sense)!
I really am not happy about this, they say it "shouldn't" make any difference, but it could do and I feel we may be losing odd days of bookings because of this.
Am I the only person who has noticed/feels that there is a problem?

Mine aren't struck through either. In fact I like their availability calendar, it is like hoildaylets.net, very easy to update, just click on the squares, the changeover days are automatically taken into account. The one I find a pain is the H-R.com site. You have to find the dates on a drop down list, you can't just click on the calendar days as with the other 2 sites, then you have to make sure if a week is booked, for example 1st May - 8th May, that you only enter 1st May - 7th May. If you don't, the 8th May then shows as unavailable, meaning you could lose out on a booking for that week.
Can't you do better H-R.com?

What concerns me is that because the arrival date is scored through people who want to book directly before them may not think they can leave on that day as it is struck through, especially as they are saying that anyone who has changed over to IE 7 cannot differentiate the colours.HelenB wrote:The arrival date is scored though, as it is a booked night, but not the departure date, I would have thought that was fair enough.

It may be struck through but it is only half red, which to me means that it is a changeover and they can therefore leave on that day, so they will have the previous night and a part of the day. They can't have the whole day anyway, as the following week is booked, so I'm still not getting the problem!
