Hi everyone! I am a retired Hairstylist and a small boutique Bed and Breakfast owner in central Mexico. I live here full time with my husband of many years. We specialize in personal service and try our best to make our guests not only satisfied with our place, but we want to make them feel like they have really had a personal gourmet experience. We have only one room and therefore have the ability to make the experience more interesting for our guests than a larger property can.
I used to believe this program helped! It does!! It helps BDC, lots. As for the rest of us it does absolutely nothing unless you are in a very large city where there are many, many pages of places. For the rest of us we simply pay more money to BDC. I have had a 10 now after a year in business it is a 9.9. I had some lovely guests who stayed and loved it yet nmarked me down for things that I never claimed to have! Anyway Booking just kept harassing me to do this and that, which I did, to no avail! I have only one room and the algorithm does not like it because you are either 100 percent full or empty. The algorithm is set up for a business to maintain a certain percentage of occupancy. Most of us smaller places will not benift.
I too think that the preferred partner program is worth it. I am curious though Joey stated that it is free?? I thought I was paying an additional 3% to be a part of it, am I not? I am now confused!
Good question! We were wondering that as well! We have put notices on some of the gay travel sites and have found that it helps, as well in your photos you might add a reference to a gay flag or something like that! Hope I helped! I will follow this hopefully for more ideas!
