We're writing an article on Booking.com insurance and we'd love to get your first-hand insights. In return, we offer a link to your 1) direct booking website 2) listing page or 3) a business page explicitly linked to the STR industry. STR insurers are also welcome to reply and get a link. Please note you must meet one of the criteria above. I'm afraid we can't feature anyone who doesn't have a clear online link to the industry - explaining your business ties in your response isn't enough. Here are the questions. Feel free to answer as few or as many as you like. 1) What was the most confusing thing about Booking.com insurance when you first came across it? 2) Has Booking.com insurance been sufficient for your setup? Why/why not? 3) Do you use damage deposits for Booking.com? Why/why not? 4) How do manage inconsistencies between Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com insurance? 5) Which risks would you never rely on Booking.com to cover and why? 6) How do you supplement Booking.com's insurance with other protection? Thanks in advance for any help you can give us!
