Yes! Utter bastards.
Underpaying because the previous lot of feedback wasn't to your liking - not good.
But actually, I have written a book about how to win Four in a Bed.
It is a book in my head only, so it is not actually published, but if contestants read it, they would win.
So - if you're going last, give everybody else good feedback otherwise they'll all give you bad feedback.
Never say you wouldn't return to a B & B (unless it's the last one). There is nothing more horrible for a B & B host to read. It is a value judgement on them as human beings. They will get their own back on you, so it's your own fault if you do not win.
If your B & B is third, do not diss the first and second B & Bs. They will also get their own back.
If the breakfast was shite, do not say so, unless people have already been to your B & B.
If you're going first, you have a definite advantage. You can then say what you like about the rest of them.
If guests are vile and impossible to please, just smile and agree with them. Remember that they have to give you feedback.
If you're second to host, and you've been horrible guests, the first lot will be horrible to you if you've given them negative feedback and said their place is dirty.
Even if a place is filthy, do not mention it if they haven't been to your B & B yet. Pretend it's like the Ritz and give them ten out of ten for most things. Say you'd return even if you'd rather stick pins in your eyes than go back (looking at you, that weird B & B where the hosts had cameras set up to watch everyone while they ate).
If you're a glamping site, do not expect to win because nobody wants to get up in the night and pad across a field to get to a toilet.
If your B & B is in Blackpool, also do not expect to win because most of the other people are very snobby about Blackpool.
If you have shared bathroom facilities, you absolutely won't win, because nobody wants to have to wait to go to the toilet in the morning. And nobody wants to have to wander round the B & B in the dark, falling downstairs, looking for the loo.
Do not bother entering if your B & B is a caravan site.
Do not bother entering if you give people menus to complete the night before.
Do not bother entering if you serve a buffet-style breakfast. People like freshly-cooked food.
If you only serve a continental breakfast, you will not win.
If you do not serve breakfast at all, you will not win. Especially if you recommend a cafe which is several yards/miles away.
And most important of all
If you're a trained chef, do not mention it because you will invariably have a bad hair day when it's your turn to serve breakfast and everything will go tits-up.
If you're a retired hotel inspector, keep your gob shut because if even so much as one small hair is found on your bedlinen, you'll get 2/10 for cleanliness.
