During our bimble round France the last few weeks we have stayed at quite a few ACSI sites and been very pleased with them all. We have however had a few problems correlating the ACSI guide book with their app and wondered if we were doing something wrong.
Several times we found sites on the app in the area we were looking at but couldn't find the same sites in the book. The site numbers didn't match either so we decided that either our book or the app was out of date (both new) so felt we couldn't go to a specific site unless it was in both mediums. This meant that a few sites missed out on our business as we looked elsewhere.
However, by accident we ended up at one lovely site that's nearly empty, but only shows on the app. It's not in the book, nor is there any mention of ACSI on their notice board. I asked the owner to clarify the situation and she explained that she couldn't afford the 700 euro charge that ACSI make for inclusion in the book and neither could many other site owners, so they make do with only being on the app. It's a bit short sighted of them I know but it's really confusing for the customers. Why do ACSI appear to have two levels of scheme membership?
