Holiday home, Wi-Fi or not???

Thanks, we will be there for two months and have bookings for 3 weeks, so can't see it being worth while.

Perhaps the lack of wifi is why you only have bookings for three weeks.

I suspect so - I have nearly 8 weeks booked for this year - so I am sure you could do better with WiFi.

It's a pity that post 22 was deleted. I actually found it quite enlightening.

In case you missed it, the gist was that the poster's agency has 33,000 properties on their books. One third of which have wifi, two thirds that don't. The third with the wifi get 80% of the bookings.

I wouldn't rent a room without Wi-Fi

In France I wouldn't be too bothered due (as per my earlier post), but I remember a year or so ago when we stayed for a few days in a holiday let in Brazil that didn't have wifi. We weren't staying long so I hadn't bothered getting a local SIM and I wasn't going to pay roaming rates in Brazil, so it made it a bit complicated trying to organise trips etc. We managed OK, but it would have been a bit easier with wifi.

You can add me to the list of people who wouldn't rent anywhere without wifi

I rent out.
Generally with families the kids are already on social media talking to their friends before I've even started the welcome spiel.
For adults without kids the password is always the first thing they request.
And it should be free,unlimited wifi wherever possible.

I would never rent a property without Wi Fi.

Thanks again, trouble is that to get Wi-Fi for the two months will cost about 200€ and I cannot see us getting that back in bookings.
