Almost a year ago we blogged about checking your site for old BedandBreakfast.com links and badges that were sending your site visitors away from your site - now we're back to ask you to check again.
The BedandBreakfast.com website is GONE!
See Image Below...
BedandBreakfast.com is no more - the domain redirects to VRBO.com, and the few inns that are still listed with them are interspersed with vacation rentals. It's so important to review your website regularly to make sure you don't have old and out-of-date information on it, but even more important when your old Bedandbreakfast.com badge or link could be taking your site's visitors - and their business - away to see competing vacation rentals in your area.
If you find an old link, image, or badge, remove it right away. If you don't have the ability to remove it yourself, have your webmaster take care of it for you. As it is now, inns are struggling to keep their direct bookings from all kinds of competitors, so don't unwittingly send your potential bookings away to VRBO!

Why did bed and breakfast.com close & or redirect to vrbo??
What does Acorn internet offer?
Hi Julie,
The story of BedandBreakfast.com is long and convoluted, but basically after being a premier directory for B&Bs for years, the company was sold to Homeaway in 2010, but continued as a B&B directory. In 2016, Expedia bought Homeaway (who owned VRBO), thereby acquiring BedandBreakfast.com. In 2018, Featured Listings went away and listings were switched from BedandBreakfast.com listings to Expedia’s Lodging Partner Services (EPC) platform. Now they have switched gears once again, and BedandBreakfast.com no longer exists and has been replaced by VRBO.
Acorn Internet Services is a full-services marketing and website design company.

How can I find out what the balance is on our BedandBreakfast.com gift card? I have tried searching numerous sites with no success.
Hi Sandra,
Acorn Marketing isn’t associated with bedandbreakfast.com, but I did find this article on how to redeem your bb.com gift certificates: https://help.vrbo.com/articles/How-do-I-redeem-my-BedandBreakfast-com-gift-card – you might be able to get some information from VRBO on this.
Thanks!
