Readers Comments Hi Scored 0 on the quiz. Over the last 22 years I've owned 3 bed and breakfast over the last 22 years. The quiz bruised my ego.. I decided to find out whether I was missing something, or you were full of hot air. I was aware of some of the changes you mention, but I was using some of the same procedures from my first place - 22 years ago. One change you mentioned to my website has increased my booking about 20% thus far. That makes my $20 a pretty good investment. Come visit us Joseph and Lee-Anne R.
