I started the website last year. I know it can look better, but our focus is to make it easy to look and functionally. The main reason behid it is to promote our hotel to the world, using the internet for that.

Please give us a short summary of your website, business model, etc

Th hotel is a 3 star category, but we offer an exelent service to our guest. We want them to fell like they are at home, while they visit this great country

What has been the most difficult part of creating and running your website?

The positioning ;) It's a joke, i think that the online reservation script is the hardest part of it.

I think that everything. We put a lot in this web and we feel that customers are receptive about that. This make things a lot of easier

What was your biggest mistake?

Take so long to make the website. Now we can say that we reach the world.

Who maintains your website and why?

I do it. Why? Because it's my job ;)

Tell us how your business has benefitted from your website?

Bringing new customers. Now we are acepting around 9 to 10 online reservations.

It's very complicated to explain, but the work is even harder.

Directory listing. But be carefull when you select them, or you could finish in a linkfarm, wich is not good. Adwords of Google works good for us to when we use it.

The link exchange, few people will exchange links with a hotel.

What i hate from the internet and the "new webmasters" is that they force you to register in their site, when they don't have anything usefull to show the visitors.
