Hi Newtimber, Thank you for your entry. The cleaning fee was introduced so that we could make 3 night stays possible. In fact 7 night stays and longer get GBP50 back, which is the same amount as the cleaning fee. You'll find that several rentals separate the cleaning fee instead of incorporating it ...

Larry,

Thank you for your helpful feedback. I've placed the map on the contact page but I can see it will be more useful in the location page. Cheers.

The cleaning fee made it possible for us to offer shorter stays. We then gave it back in the form of a discount for stays of 7 nights and longer.

PW, are you sure you need to be linked in? I can still see the link buttons underneath when I log out. It doesn't need to be a honeymoon, does it? Valletta will be European Capital of Culture in 2018, the perfect excuse to stay with us. :-) Larry, Did you manage? Link button is below each of my post...

Hi Felicity, I love the clean look of it, in particular the landing page. I would recommend getting a professional photographer and consider larger pictures. I also think that the photos could make more out of having a drink while looking at the view. A photographer could set up these kind of pictur...

Refreshed website review

Dear all, I could do with some feedback after refreshing our website (see website link button below). I've tried to give a taste of what we provide - a boutique accommodation surrounded by history. I'd really appreciate your honest opinion. Thank you for taking the time.

...'Coolstays' is another website, which promotes owner/holidaymaker direct contact. They are different in that they choose you (i.e. your property) not you them. They just do annual subscriptions, and at a viable commercial rate. I am too new with them to make a comment about results, but what I l...

Multi currency display on website

The rates on my website are currently in GBP. I wish to have them represented also in Euro; updated with the current exchange value. I have found one website which does that (dynamicconvertor.com) but that seems to require a shopping cart whereas I wish to have this on my page where my rates are ( i...

The sale went through. Yippie! I did it without an agency since most local agencies were clueless to selling a business as opposed to a property. They also offered considerably less than what I thought it worth. I advertised it through international business selling websites but in the end, it was a...

Hi Nigel, The bookings I speak of are already there. The sale should happen later this month. There aren't many (just three bookings) and perhaps I should block the rest as you suggest. The thing is that the woman on the other side of the helpline was rather confused and changed her story twice rega...
