What are the differences between a paid featured listing and a free listing?

For a monthly fee of £4.95 a featured listing provides many benefits to increase your likelihood of finding guests in a shorter timeframe.

It is possible to switch between the two types of listing at anytime. A free listing can be upgraded simply by clicking the 'Upgrade' link above.
A featured listing can be downgraded in the Billing section of our site, or on the PayPal website - their instructions are in any payment receipt.
