    The biggest problem I see. Do you want to make money with bookings or make money sending customers elsewhere with the Adsense ads?

    Here's your biggest reservation killer. The page where credit card info is requested is not SSL. You have the Verisign logo and say it is but the address I get is http://naxos-hostels.com/online_booking.html (it's not an SSL page)

    It should start with https://

    Take your proxy pay out of the frame and make it your payment page.

    Seeing that little yellow lock makes all the difference in the world.

    The page where I was requested to enter cc info had the ssl page in an iframe so it the secure transfer is not reflected in the browser. Bottom line, people won't enter cc info if they don't see the secure lock in there browser.

    They need to see this at the point of cc info entry.

    the site look good but you need a new and better SEOs for your site. You need to make payment page look better and easy for visitor to click. And also in your website, you didnt say how much visitor can save if book it through your site. just a rant from me :p

    Dont put ads in there if you are trying to sell your service.....Just keep it professional.
    Also you may want to make the Reservation/Book now logo like in the top right corner or left side. its so small in the middle...maybe im missing it.
    Good Luck
