Hi there, I have been running a small B&B for the past 3 years and we are doing fairly well. However this season we have had over 15 cancelations, even a day before! We do not take deposits because the 2 years before this we have only had maybe 5 canceltions in total. We only charge 30euro per person sharing. I am unsure if I should start doing deposits and if so how much? I am only 22 and am not as firm in my knowledge about this. I am unable to get a credit card machine due to our location (no internet as I have to use special means even to get my laptop online), plus 15% cut of our payment is just too much. We would have to start raising prices and I really do not feel we should have to. I was looking at doing it on paypal but to be honest I cannot seem to find the exact tarifs, I will be calling them shortly though.
Any idea's on what I should do? I may make a lil less sense today I had a family of 6 who wanted a 6am breakfast and never came down to 9am... (mutters dark thoughts).
