Lay My Hat

No advice I'm afraid but just to console you, I tested googling that and you came up on Page 1 so perhaps you are moving up in the world! Albeit, 3rd from the bottom.

Maybe, Casscat. You are probably right as I have been with VRBO since 2012 or thereabouts and all sections have been translated, albeit some bits a trifle odd.

Thank you, Casscat. I discovered that if you go into their main site as a visitor you can click on the Union Jack (if you are in the UK) and change the language into pretty well anything by going to a country's site. It is slightly strange (only looked at the Italian so far) and way out of date as I...

I find if I increase my price by 12% on the VRBO site, I end up roughly what I would be getting by taking the booking direct. But as their take varies from booking to booking, it is impossible to get it exactly right.

Thank you for letting us know about this Casscat. We used to be able to easily access the listing on all the other sites to check how they looked (and they used to be OKish for translation) but now I can't find out how to do this as I am keen to check my listing translations too. Where do you locate...

I have had the same experience as Pengman with a dramatic increase in views in March, over January and February, on Independent Cottages and was a bit suspicious about it. I think it may have something to do with the handover as in my case, the subscription is due in September. Perhaps they are chec...

I changed from subscription to commission about 3 years ago, partly because the subscription kept going up and up and I was still paying for the processing (which actually amounted to about 5% when the payment was from abroad) but mainly because I was going down and down in the listings and not gett...

I will PM you a code. Good luck. I have been with them since 2012 and don't have a bad word to say for them.

Thank you for updating, Cleanforum. Glad it was all sorted. I am permanently furious with VRBO but they do get me the longer bookings so I have to contain my outrage that they make so many mistakes (one person actually cancelled because of their messing up) and take 20% of the booking between the tw...

I'm stunned at the incompetence, Cleanforum Quite astounding. I have had VRBO overcharge people, undercharge people, get all their sums wrong in fact. I shouldn't really stay with them but I tend to get really nice people booking and a booking is a booking...... I rather hope that your guests just i...

I am finding the same, not a single week empty (and all full weeks or two week bookings) since early July up to 21st November and then I have a gap to 11th December for my first short break followed by Christmas and New Year booked as a two week one (Yay!!). We normally close down in November becaus...

I don't come in here very often now but remember your conversation and your properties, as aloneifly says, are fabulous. So pleased to hear you have been successful with this unusual pair of properties and I think you may well find some fleeing the virus in your neck of the woods!

I understood it was a grant to all small hotels, B and B's and holiday lets who already have zero rated business rates (because they won't benefit from the zero offer being made to other small businesses as they already have that) and it was to all of us! The only problem is - how do we apply and wh...

I know this is the French forum and I am in the UK but this is really weird as all our American guests since 2006 (and I have lots, including some who have returned -some 6 times, some 9 and lots of 2-4 times) have been delightful, save for ONE exception. Some are now true friends. I find them much ...

Oops. Working on a phone I managed to pm myself by mistake! Sorry for the delay. Sent now.
