My B&B is in the county of Kent in the southeast of England (UK), in a rural area near Biddenden, Benenden and Tenterden. For more details, please visit www.bressenden.uk
Thanks for the feedback. Adding a fee for an "extra" bed doesn't solve the problem, as I'd have to state the occupancy of that room as 2. Couples with a child who is too old for a cot, would put "3" in the occupancy field in the search engine, in which case my room won't show up in their search results. Asad Chaudary's suggestion is a good one, but the policies are all menu-driven and choice-based, and they don't contain the. It is not possible to create tailor-made policies, and they don't seem to be room-specific. When three adults book, I do try to put them off by saying the bed is a child's bed and is very narrow. Doesn't seem to put them off, though! I expect they'd be happy to sleep on the floor, if it saves them money! It's a dilemma, as I want couples with a small child to find a room at a reasonable price, as it's a lovely place to stay with a big garden, chickens, cats, wild deer etc.
Simon and Jenny need to use a bit of imagination and see it from the point of view of the disappointed booker who is told she can stay in her preferred choice of place after all. Are we to believe that if they had booked somewhere sub-optimal, they would ignore an alert from Booking.com about a newly vacant first choice, because they wouldn't want to disappoint the hosts of the place they'd had to settle for?
Yes of course, I reply to all my reviews. It's great that we can respond!
