Do you visit Edinburgh for business or pleasure?
Do you live in or around Edinburgh?
Do you run a holiday rental business or are involved in the industry?

Edinburgh Council has asked for feedback on their implementation of licensing scheme for short-term lets.

Let's seize this moment to express our opinions and positively influence the future of the holiday rental sector in the city.

Are free websites from Property Management Software companies any good? 🤔

Some would say no. So we took the challenge to investigate the truth behind that! 💪 💪

One of the big problems is that we are biased. - we offer free websites with all packages.

So we went back to the hard facts: data.

Key takeaways: Bookster's free instant websites perform well when promoted effectively, offering cost-effective, scalable solutions.

However, it's not cut and dry.

If you want a website, it takes effort to get good photos and descriptions, to promote it, to link to it from social media and newsletters.

Discover more about how you can maximise bookings and streamline management with the right website.
