How cabin rentals should handle booking forms

How cabin rentals deals with booking forms — and what usually goes wrong.
The problem: a robots.txt that disallows the blog. This breaks booking forms for cabin rentals.
A form that collects data for cabin rentals should say where the message goes. Nine fields and a captcha on a quiet Tuesday will cost you the person who actually wanted to pay.
The job started when cabin rentals realised their booking forms had been wrong for months. Nobody noticed because the site still loaded.
For cabin rentals, the boring path won: HTTPS, a backup that we have restored once on purpose, and a calendar reminder for booking forms.
Email deliverability is nobody’s favourite topic, but cabin rentals lost two bookings because booking forms was misconfigured and replies landed in spam for a week.
The vendor portal had silently rotated the key for booking forms, but cabin rentals was still using the old one. Every outbound message bounced quietly.
The real issue was not booking forms itself — it was a robots.txt that disallows the blog. One feeds the other, and fixing only the visible symptom means it comes back in three weeks.
