“Home isn’t a place, it’s a feeling”
(Cecelia Ahern)
Some claim that their home is their castle
and builds high impenetrable walls around this home
while they feel lonely and unloved at the same time.
Some travel a lot, very much – perhaps in connection with business too
and gain experience with many receptions worldwide
my experience with more than 100 different hotels
is that they are all doing a good job for the guests
really feel at home while they are at the hotel
there have only been a few bad experiences
my experience is that they know that satisfied customers are their way to success
and as a customer the best service you get by talking with the staff and not to staff.

I do a lot of traveling and always feel at home, even in the most remote areas when i have to stay with the people at their, sometimes very basic accommodation. So your story is more then true my friend.:-)

Thanks, really appreciate that you agree with me – we all have think about our own attitudes – sometimes we ask for trouble, because we start the trouble ourselves… 😉
If only all those ugly tourists would listen to your expert advice. All of the homes away from home would benefit.
#.emily
Many people would get a much better experiences
if they thought about their own attitude… ‘hahaha’
If we points to others with one finger
there are 2 of our fingers which pointing at ourselves… ‘hahaha’
Our own attitudes often starts the show… 🙂 😉
lovely thought to share

Hi, Andrikken,
I heard in the past the quote ” Home is the place on which your family lives!” I like this words.
Is the photo from your home?
Greetings from Susanne
#.susanne
Agree with you about this quote “home is the place on which your family lives” – in that way the family is the feeling here… 😉
No it isn’t my real home, it’s a hotel reception – from e smaller cozy hotel in Paris, where I feel home when I’m in Paris… 😉
🙂 🙂 🙂

Thanks, really glad you agree with me… 🙂
Right said – “home is where the heart is”… 🙂
Los lugares agradables lo hacen las personas, lo mismo en el hogar.
#.barbara
Agree with you… 🙂
So you have a castle almoste everywere, Drake. Good for you!
#.bente
I haven’t any castle… 😉
But I feel home most of the time – I believe in – the attitude we come with it affects how we are received – I’m always positive as a starting point – but has no problems at all with being the “bad” guy – if people are doing tricks on me, but I never starts from that point… 🙂 😉
that’s a nice statement, I like to agree:
“…my experience with more than 100 different hotels
is that they are all doing a good job for the guests
really feel at home while they are at the hotel…”
I even felt O.K. in London (could not shut the window, one foot of my bed disappeared in a hole, around noisy school classes, internet connection only for 5 Euros each hour (yes, that was the worst) – but nevertheless I liked to be there … [once in Dubrovnik high society entered the hotel and the management threw us out off our fine apartment, sent us to another hotel outside the city; but then after a week they spend us one week for free with the best ocean view balcony]
thank you, N., for inspiring me to this story!
Absolutely, with the right company 🙂

Thanks, really glad you like it… 🙂
I loved my business traveling too
– also because of all the hotels I was visiting… 🙂
When I was a child I gave every hotel or guest house a 5star rating if they had a dog!
#.windhound
A great story – previously the hotel dog was a very important “ingredient” around the life at the hotels especially road hotels – and in many smaller hotels it is still there… 🙂
Quite the spot… and talking with staff is impt 🙂
#.eliz
Agree totally – “talking with the staff” gives always the best result… 🙂
