Hi, Yeah, that's exactly what the process was at the last place I helped. The owner told me his difficulties and I also asked guests about everything. Straightening out the issues then putting some marketing to work made a big difference. Some owners I have met can have trouble seeing the...

I don't feel bad, but It's tough to keep anger in check and not lash out... Considering this is where innkeepers hangout and I just wanted some honest feedback from them then it obviously is the right place.

It must be tough not to get criticism for being snarky, condescending or trying to make people feel stupid! On the flipside, I stayed in a resort recently that had a sign at the pool saying not to swim if you have had gastroenteritis or diarrhea in the last 14 days. blush Sort of funny! But...

Do you mean the challenge of people not reading signs/rules?

Perhaps the nosy guest doesn't have a place giving advice in certain situations. I'm not sure how this discussion arrived here. I'm not sure if it's directed towards myself, if so, let me know and I share my opinion about it with you.

First, I have asked what your challenges were. I didn't presume to know from your perspective. Secondly, no, I haven't been an innkeeper, but I have skills that can be put to use in your business. For example, a teacher is usually good at more than just teaching, they're also good at things such...

Hi, Thanks, I've realized that now. To be honest I'm not a big forum guy. I'm aware that there are many differences between a B&B in Bali and other places in the world. But of course there are also many similarities. Everybody's B&B goal is to fill the beds and give the visitors a good...

I have a lot of experience with online marketing and business turn-arounds. Previously I have mostly been in the health & wellness field. That's how I've earned my money and had the nice opportunity to travel so much and stay in many nice bed and breakfasts and hotels. I always like to stay in...

Thank you for your more thoughtful response. I wasn't aware you getting hit with unwanted sale offers. Of course I'm happy to introduce myself. My name's Josh. I'm 34. Travelling is a very large part of my life. Recently I became very interested in the B&B industry. The reason is right now I'm...

Thanks Camberley.... Pretty harsh responses from the others. Far from the positive group of people I was expecting. I didn't realize it wasn't fair for someone to ask or there was some protocol to follow either. The reason I ask the question is to find out what issues owners are facing and...

I've been helping B&Bs get more customers. I'm doing a bit of research and need some help. If you're not making the amount of revenue you want, what do you think your main challenge is with getting more customers? Thanks, I'd love to hear your input.
