Notes about Packages and Membership: 3 Plans are offered, no link to your site before the “Gold” plan.
The Good: Lots of unique content. Articles, stories, contests, they seem to do a lot for the innkeeping community as a whole. Excellent 2 Clicks and I am at the link to your page layout. The inns website links are as prominent as the detail page link. The search includes a map as well as an “AJAXy” auto-complete. Hover-tips include enlarging images and detail information. Social content generation with add to Del.icio.us etc.
The Bad: The Google map integration is either CPU or browser intensive. In repeated tests that function cost almost 5 seconds of pageload and in several instances froze the browser temporarily. Its not that important and not worth waiting for. The auto complete feature for the search function is buggy, selecting the auto completed text doesn’t work cross browser.

Great website ! Very informative.
Thank You! It’s always nice to hear from innkeepers.
Is there any way to review B&B’s and get paid for it? Any information would be helpful.
Thank you
Back in the day, there were B&B/Inn guide books written by dedicated folks like Sandra Soule (who is now with BedandBreakfast.com). She would probably tell you that it was not very financially rewarding.
There are still opportunities for free-lance travel writers to sell articles to travel sections of newspapers and magazines.
Select Registry uses an independent company to perform its quality assurance inspections. You could contact that company about being an inspector.
We advertise on iloveinns.com as of May of this year. We are in a mildly competitive area on their site, there are about a half dozen inns listed in our region. Since May we received 42 click throughs to our website from this one. The visitors viewed an average of 5 pages and spent an average of 5 minutes on our site. Of those there were 3 who followed our preset conversion path and became a reservation. (This does not account for others that may have become a reservation through alternate paths i.e. phone sale, return visit to our site or booking directly via an alternate channel).
We are a homestay in Delhi India. We visited iloveinns.com but they do not have listing for India and asia. They should try to put listing in Asia region too as the travel is also increasing in Asia.
Otherwise they are really nice site.
Sham Nath Villa New Delhi has 5 elegantly furnished bedrooms. All bedrooms have balconies and are with modern bathrooms. We offer a complimentary continental or traditional Indian breakfast.
Set amidst lush gardens and shady trees, Sham Nath residence has retained its old world charm and colonial architecture. It escapes the constant noise and pollution of the inner city, yet remains within easy access to the city’s most magnificent Mogul monuments like, Red Fort, Jamma Masjid and the famous shopping centre of historic Chandni Chowk with its quaint bazaars and meandering lanes.
A stay at Sham Nath Villa is really a home away from home!
