We work with 3 different agencies, all of them get 25% only for bookings, the management of the apartment is our responsibility. I know it is huge, however it is really necessary as the owners rental sites only provide us bookings for the high season. And we can always decide the rates, so we increa...

Hot Tub / Jacuzzi Maintenance
Hello, I was wondering what kind of maintenance do you give to your Hot Tub, specifically if someone uses Oxygen to maintain the water. We've been told that using the oxygen is enough, it wouldn't be necessary to control PH and remaining factors. We've been using only the Oxygen, and in deed the wat...

I've paid up for 4 different Listing Sites: Homeaway (PT) Flipkey Homelidays Holiday Velvet I can recommend all of them, except HV... it was an huge disappointment, ...

25% commission! I would never agree to such a high amount. Rental Systems charge 10% for bookings they generate, and 2% for processing our own bookings. I had a look at the home pages of the two sites you mention; they look remarkably similar, both based in Barcelona, Spain. It's up to you, but 25%...

Hello Richard, How's the weather down there? 8) About the banner - regarding some of the facilities we have in the apartment - I intended to symbolize a retreat at the city centre. I absolutely agree with you about the city spirit, the typical neighbourhoods have got nothing to do with that image......

I've been checking with the friends I've mentioned, and they work with the following commission based agencies: Waytostay FriendlyRentals According to them, these sites give them an average of over 20 days per year rented, without having to bother with enquiries and scams. Of course the percentages ...

Is that review honest? I ask because in your blog you open for business on the 20 August and you have already had a client staying there. That besides; A lot of photos do not have alternative text: Some links take you away from your website, which is not considered a good idea. The photo on the fir...

I cant read the text, its too small and dotty, but I am old. I think you should add the country to the introduction but the layout of tabs is nice and workable. I appreciate that you will change the photos, but maybe fewer with better angles, and remove the word shed in the description. Also apprec...

Comission based sites
This is my first post, however I would like to thank you all as LMH has been very helpful for quite some time now. I'm about to start in the holiday rental business in Lisbon, the apartment should be ready in just a couple of weeks. I'm aware of the best Owners Rental Listing Sites (free and paid), ...
