Services for accommodation-providers and travellers

Internet forum for accommodation providers:

Its purpose is to enable discussion, exchange of information and mutual assistance on a wide range of subjects.

The tone of our forum is genteel, respectful of and helpful to each other. Although the administrators of the forum have the right to censor posts, this power has never yet been used. The right tone is achieved simply by the registration procedure designed to ensure that applicants for membership are genuine prior to admission.

This information is requested at registration:

Your email address; your name; your establishment name; your website address: (If you have one); a username; a password:

You are then asked to agree to this statement:

This facility is made available free of charge to providers of serviced accommodation such as bed and breakfast establishments, guest houses, hotels and self-catering accommodation. Its purpose is to provide a forum for such providers to exchange views, opinions and information pertinent to this industry.

Note that it is impossible for the staff or the owners of this forum to confirm the validity of posts. Please remember that we do not actively monitor the posted messages, and as such, are not responsible for the content contained within. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any information presented. The posted messages express the views of the author, and not necessarily the views of this forum, its staff, its subsidiaries, or this forum's owner. Anyone who feels that a posted message is objectionable is encouraged to notify the administrator of this forum immediately. The staff and the owner of this forum reserve the right to remove objectionable content, within a reasonable time frame, if they determine that removal is necessary.

The owners of this forum retain the right to terminate any individual membership.

As this is a manual procedure on our part we apologise if there is any undue delay whilst we verify your membership credentials.

Although non-members and search engines cannot access the forum there is nothing to stop a member giving away his username and password or copying content although this is outside of the rules. Complete anonymity cannot be guaranteed but this does not seem to prevent free and frank discussion.

The subjects discussed range from serious to banal to fun. These are currently the most popular topics:

  • Fire Safety Inspection
  • Accreditation - is it worth it?
