    Pro Photos Received

    I would like to give my opinion too, considering that photography is my hobby. An important question: were the photos taken in RAW format and processed via Lightroom? I see a lot of room for improvement if you have the RAW files and the photographer didn't bother with them. Decreasing highlights...

    What's your number 1 advice about innkeeping? Share please :)

    I've actually met a few of these individuals (as a customer, not as a host). It was really funny to see grumpy people arriving at 14:00, and the next time you see them, in the evening or in the morning - happy, splashing water at the pool like little children, etc.

    Thank you everybody for your input! So far I got emails from 3 people. I'll keep this alive for a few more days, in case someone else wants to participate. If there will be a few more "submissions", I might have to make this a separate article just with real-life advice from real heroes :)

    What's your number 1 advice about innkeeping? Share please :)

    Hello people, Currently I'm working on an extensive article about starting a B&B and things that this involves. It would be amazing if some of you would like to share some info about your experience, a small tip/advice, maybe a weird story that surprised you. Something about starting, things you...

    Looking at real estate

    The best photos are the ones where you can see the photographer or the host in window/mirror reflections butt-naked (or just in underwear). Are you considering using HDR photos too? A few years ago I read a pro-HDR article where some real estate agents mentioned that properties with HDR photos...

    Where are you?

    I read somewhere that Google rewards (ranking-wise) websites that have a full address, email and phone number in the header or footer of a website. So just having your complete contact address (not just an email) on every page is important, both for usability and for rankings.

    Booking

    I have sent Bookingdotcom this suggestion last year, a real problem, which they have pleasantly ignored :) If your property is set to accept "minimum 2 nights" bookings, and someone searches for a single night - your property shows up as "no rooms available", instead of "this property requires a...

    I got my website finished!

    Hi, They are "WordPress themes", so they are for WordPress. Yes, the site admin populates the theme with its own content, that's not something the theme can do automatically.

    Question for the Americans :)

    You mean on the Showcase page? With 200+ listed websites it is often that somebody's websites goes down from time to time... But thanks for the heads up :)

    Question for the Americans :)

    How so? If you check-in your luggage and you have some bottles inside - why would that be a problem? You don't take them into the cabin. Or is that a real problem in the US? I have an American friend that came back some months ago and it wasn't an issue.

    Question for the Americans :)

    Which broken link? I haven't posted any links in this thread.

    Question for the Americans :)

    So basically the rule is "no open containers inside the car"? But if it is something in the trunk - no worries?

    Question for the Americans :)

    Hi all, Just a quick question for the American members here: is it legal to transport wine across state lines? For example I'm coming from Portland to Austin, Texas by car or plane - am I allowed to just grab 2-3 bottles of wine from Portland and take them with me? Is there any major law that...

    Am I overly sensitive on this review?

    Personally I would hate for a hotelier to bring up in a public review some personal information about me, even if I leave a 3-4 star review (never did that before). So I always try to make the review about the property and the amenities, and not about the people running it or about the general...

    Help choosing the name for my new Inn (Como Lake, Italy)

    Let me start by congratulating you with the purchase in such a wonderful (and expensive) location. Second: whatever the name is, please make sure that you search for other properties with the same name: in Google and on Booking. You don't want to have a neighbor with the same (or a very similar)...
