We are just praying that in August the French will still travel. Luckily we have not had to rely on the Brits for our income as the bookings from the UK dropped off significantly over the the last few years and we advertise as much as possible for French guests. We have just had to cancel a Spanish ...

Just sending our Spanish guests, who were due to arrive for Easter, a cancellation e-mail, sadly. As we know Spain is on lockdown for 2 weeks so they will not be allowed to travel and can see this continuing past 2 weeks. With France having shut restaurants/bars etc and tourist sites closing there w...

B.com another money grabbing con
Those of you that advertise with this company will probably have seen this new amendment to their terms: With regards to the Commission clauses in relation to In Stay Services (breakfast, bicycles, meals etc) we have changed the wording ‘at the time of booking’ to ‘prior to check-in’. This means tha...

Owners did confirm that guest had asked for 2 extra guests, BUT owner was told they would visit for 1 day!!!! After they had gone we found a dry stone wall in the garden had been knocked down, presumably by the kids walking on it ... nothing said, just left a pile of stones .... another little job t...

When they leave they just walk away, no attempt at cleaning. No attempt to speak the language, just shout loud. B...

OH drove past towards end of their 2 week stay and 2 estate cars in drive. Odd that they would come in 2 cars! We called in day before they left to check if all ok and no...

Anyone know what B.com mean ...
A few weeks ago I received this from B.com - anyone know what they actually mean. I suspect it means that you can now advertise your property on any website at any price, but may be wrong. France took them to court and stopped them doing this several years ago and as I am reading it the rest of the ...
