FAQ

• Why is it important to provide customers with Internet access?
  
  
  Internet access has now become one of the main criteria for choosing accommodation, whether it be for a family holiday or business travel.
  
  According to a study conducted in October 2005 on 700 people, 32% chose their accommodation based on the availability of Internet access. This percentage has risen even higher in the past 5 years.
  
  This same study also revealed that over 74% of European customers in tourism establishments consider Internet access to be useful or essential, as opposed to 26% who do not consider it useful. In terms of usefulness, Internet access ranks second, after television, but ahead of the radio, alarm clock and telephone.
  
  Another study (conducted in October 2006 on more than 1,000 customers in 6 European countries) shows that 84% of respondents are more inclined to spend in establishments with free Wi-Fi, and 96% said they returned to use this service. For half of the respondents, free Wi-Fi is an essential factor when choosing their accommodation.
  
  In short, Internet access has now become the main criterion for choosing accommodation.

• I provide Internet access, but why should I register with your site?
  
  
  Internet access has now become the main criterion for choosing accommodation. But simply providing Internet access is not enough - you have to make it known! Naturally, Web users looking for accommodation with Internet access will use a search engine, entering something like "Wi-Fi accommodation", or "hotels Internet Wifi", or "campgrounds Internet Wifi". And they will inevitably find our directory... and thus your accommodation.
  
  Bed & Breakfast with Wifi Internet access is in fact the first (and only) directory that lists all types of accommodation that offer Internet access (Wi-Fi or other). :

  • Hotels
  • Bed and breakfasts
  • Self-catering
  • Residences
  • Rentals
  • Campgrounds

  
  What is more, since tourism accommodation is, by nature, international, the Bed & Breakfast with Wifi Internet access directory is fully multi-lingual (publication in 6 languages). No need to speak all those languages - we take care of everything. You can also indicate on your presentation page all the languages you speak (and even your level in each language). This will let Web users know what language they can use to contact you.

• What are the advantages of your site for my accommodation?
  
  
  Your accommodation's listing in the Bed & Breakfast with Wifi Internet access directory is available starting from only 0 GBP per year, with a fully multi-lingual presentation.
  
  Your accommodation's listing in the Bed & Breakfast with Wifi Internet access directory offers many advantages:

  • Higher occupancy rate, particularly in mid- and off-season
    Bed & Breakfast with Wifi Internet access is the first (and to date only) directory that lists accommodation with Internet access. Given the number of tourists (and business travellers) who consider Internet access to be essential, being listed in our directory is an additional advantage to achieve an optimal occupancy rate in the off-season (with business travel) and mid-season, since many people cannot allow themselves to be "cut off" during their holidays.
  • Detailed description of your accommodation, in 6 languages
    Your accommodation's listing in our directory includes a detailed (and fully multi-lingual) description: detailed description, proposed services, activities on site and in the area, distances to main cities, map module, rates, photos, etc.
  • Calendar of rates and availability
    The rates management module lets you indicate rates per night, weekend and week, with the days divided into 4 periods (low season, mid season, high season, peak season) so you can specify rates for the different tourism periods. You can also update the availability calendar at any time (through your Customer Area):
  • Optimal exposure
    Thanks to our search engine optimisation technology, a Web user looking for accommodation with Internet access in your region using a search engine like Google is almost certain to find you.
  • Detailed ad hit statistics
    From your Customer Area, you can specify the language visitors can use to contact you, and you can also view the hit statistics for your ad (per month and per language).
