From the moment they step through the door your bookings become guests, and their experiences determine whether they ever come back.

Urgent translation from French needed!

Post by Tizfata »

Si je vous règle la semaine cache à la réservation faites-vous un rabais?
If I pay the week "cache" :?: , will you make me a discount?
Not sure about the meaning of "cache".
Thank you for you help!

He means cash in hand.
French use the word cash without translating it but he has spelled it phonetically.

Well, thank you ccazes!

(maybe because it is diffucult that someone from abroad pays "cache" on reservation... On arrival, mabye but on reservation...)

I think he means he will pay 100% upfront instead of by deposit and then a later payment in the hope that you give him a discount.

Just out of interest I ran that through both of the translators that I use and got:

a) If I rule the week hiding in the book are you a discount?

b) If I regulate you the week hiding place with the reservation does you do make a reduction? :roll: :lol:

Some guests just need a sympathetic pat. On the head. With a hammer.
