Re: Mathias Norup Denmark. Phishing SCAM enquiry from HA

The most recent one was to click on the link if I wanted to find out about this guest's "romantic secrets" or some such wording. Well, quite frankly I most certainly do not, so that one fell on stony ground! I bet that one has evolved through the publicity of 50 Shades of Grey! :lol: :lol...

99% of our guests are from the UK. They pay in Sterling and we like it that way. The odd 1% over the years have been from South Africa, Germany and Holland. Our villa is in Greece, but we have never received a booking from a Greek guest. PS. I have just remembered that this summer we have a week's b...

Re: Europe Holiday rentals

... they say they have 2,326 properties in England. I think that might be a tad exaggerated! ... Yes, I think "exaggerated" is the word. I looked at some Greek villas on their site, took an image from one and put it on a Google image search. The result was over 30 identical photos on othe...

Yes, a Favorites link which takes me direct to our OD page has changed also. The link-back from our own website now takes one direct to the OD home page. Looks like a major upheaval. :roll:

I have checked out your site, Roger, and I must say that what you have got there is gorgeous! With four bedrooms in that location I don't think you are overpriced, well not as I see it. I must say that I was put off when reading the script on your site's home page. The second paragraph appeared to b...

Since HL became 'free' the choice for holidaymakers is now huge, which is why I assume everyone seems to be reporting bookings are down with them.
