Do i have to keep my Availability Chart up to date?
Nobody will force you to keep your Availability Calendar up to date, but it would be beneficial to all concerned if you did. There are a number of reasons for this. Firstly, as the search mechanism filters on property availability, you are more likely to only receive booking enquiries for weeks that are genuinely available, thus saving you the time and trouble of replying to the many requests often received for holiday periods.
Secondly, your ranking in the summary results page is influenced by the frequency with which you update your availability chart. The system sorts both on this and a daily randomise function. So in simple terms, updating your availability chart will help maximise your position in the directory and therefore help increase your number of property views and booking enquiries.

How do i up date the availability chart?
Simply click on 'Availability', in your personal owner area and you will be redirected to the calendar page. There you should mark the arrival and departure date and their availability. Then you should select the option 'Submit'. When you have set all periods select the 'Finished' button.
For example, if the date of arrival is Saturday you should click on Saturday, if the date of departure is a Saturday you should mark the Friday.

How will i be notified of booking inquiries?
With the subscription of a Standard Advert the prospective holidaymaker will contact you directly, either by email or by phone.
If by email, the request will follow a standard format and the email subject will read:
Booking Enquiry from Dotvilla.com:
The email will be sent to the address listed in the Owner Account details.
During the Free Trial period a notification will be sent to your personal email account informing that you have received a new enquiry. To read this enquiry you should login to your personal owner account and click on 'Read E-mails'.

Is there a Special Late Offers section?
Yes. On the first page you may choose to make one:
- Highlight of Property - with photo of the property. This highlight can help you in case of last minute cancellation or just to maximize the rental and attract potential customers.
You can also choose to index the property in:
- Vacation Ideas - thereby increasing the search criteria available, facilitating access to potential customers.
