  1. I am a gite owner myself and recently joined up with gitecompare.com. It is set up in the style of a comparison website and I think this in itself makes it a lot easier for holidaymakers to search for and find exactly what they are looking for- everyone is searching for something different out of a holiday afterall.  I paid for my listing so am 'highlighted' which means that I also have my photos listed; I agree the more photos the better as everyone prefers to know what your property looks like and I think it seems a bit like you have something to hide if you don't put pictures. I also agree with Montcigoux that knowing the exact description of the property is important and on this site when uploading your information you have to fill out exactly how many bedrooms you have, whether your pool is above ground etc for example- whilst this may not be for all gite owners, for my property it works well and I am happy to be as honest as possible as I would like to think that I would receive the same honesty in return if I were searching for holiday accommodation. On a negative note they don't have availability calendars, but instead you are encouraged to untick on a form when you are not available which means that in searches you will only appear when you are available. I guess it just depends on your personal preference with this. My last point about the site that I have really liked so far is that they link the nearby tourist attraction, bars, restaurants etc to my gite which I think is really great for my prospective holidaymakers. Sorry that you have had many bad expereinces with accommodation, Montcigoux and I hope that your future stays improve!
