Apparently their are scumbag lawyers filing over a 100 lawsuits a day against bed and breakfast and other public lodging owners. The attached was just posted on facebook by a B&B owner. I'm sharing it as a word of advice that you likely need to update your web site to include a statement about...

We had 2 married guests book through air. The woman said she was a model. They were from out of town. At 3:00 am this morning they let a 3rd guy in (the room was booked for 2) and proceeded to have sex about every 20 minutes. The plate on the vehicle for the 3rd guy was out of state. We...

Just heard a knock on the door and found two stunningly beautiful Russian women standing at the door wanting to come in for a tour. Needless to say, I took my time showing them around. :).

Hey...the Captcha used on the forum here really sucks. I mean...seriously sucks. I typed the code about 6 times before I got it right. That's because the captcha in many cases was completely illegible. That needs to get fixed because if its going to be that difficult to participate here...

We are getting bookings into 2019 already! Mostly people celebrating a wedding, etc. We were full this past weekend. We have a room filled tonight. We just got two more new bookings tonight (one for tomorrow night and the other for 2 nights in August) So fun to see all the hard work...

It was slow (in terms of bookings) the last couple of weeks and I was getting nervous. Then all of a sudden we had 4 bookings in 2 days. Guess spring break, Easter and bad weather were the causes of the slow couple of weeks. Excited to see things getting busy! We had the "build it and they...

If I search google using my county and "bed and breakfast" my listing will show up. If I search google using the nearest city and "bed and breakfast" I see a lot of hotels showing up and a few bed and breakfasts that are way further away from the city then we are and we don't show up at all...

Last weekend was the first weekend that we had 2 rooms rented at the same time. This weekend, we got an AirBnB booking for one room this Friday, A second booking for the same room on Saturday but booked through our web site. And then another booking through our web site for the other room...

Anyone try using groupon to market your B&B? If so, what was the offer? What kind of results did you get?

I set up a facebook page for the B&B. I have about 40 likes on it so far. My question is, what sort of things do you post so that you have some new stuff going on facebook at least once a week? I'm looking for ideas. I don't think its the sort of thing where people are going to be interested...

Went to airBNB and clicked on a property and then clicked on the booking option where you check the availability dates (check in, check out) and you can't even select anything from the date picker. You can type in a date but most people won't know how to do that. I was using chrome. So I...

I have not done a trial on beds24.com as of yet, I've only looked over the demos and the features list on the web site. But it looks really slick and seems to be really cheap. It would cost us about $13 a month and connects to pretty much all of the OTAs. For us, we only use Air and for that...

I have reservation Key set up and am using it for now. I was wondering if anyone has email templates from reservation key that they would be willing to share? I don't want to have to try and come up with the wording for the various emails and the default email templates they provide aren't the...

I just want to thank everyone here for always being so helpful. I wanted to recognize that there are really wonderful folks here and it's almost like family. I've learned a lot from you and really do appreciate hearing all of the opinions and advice. Thank you all.

The Google search on this forum is broken and using Googles "site" search didn't return anything. I apologize if this has been discussed before. I want to order some logo wine glasses and some coffee cups to make available to sell to guests. Does anyone have a place from which to purchase...

We had a couple staying here (booked through AirBNB). In the evening my wife and I heard a really loud crash from the room and it did not sound good. We looked at each other like what the heck was that? We opted to not go to the room as they had been using the whirlpool, etc, and were...

Hi All, So I'm looking for advice on what to do to promote the B&B and get more customers. I know about needing a facebook page, a web site, using sites like airbnb and vbro but what else should we be doing? I've read the older posts discussed here but this is one of those topics that I think...

Hi Everyone, How do you handle sales tax with bookings that come in through AIRBNB? I haven't looked at AirBNB in a while so maybe they have a provision for charging sales tax, I don't know. But from what I recollect I think the fee you charge is just for the room. I don't recall seeing...

Hi Everyone! We have a B&B in Minnesota that has two large suites. We have found that we spend too much time showing guests how to use things like the mini-split air conditioner/heater, whirlpool tub or the electronic door locks. While we will always have to explain some things, we just have...
