Hi all,

it would be nice if you could tell we which phrases people from GB search for,
when looking for holiday rentals in tenerife in private apartments/fincas/villas (no flights, no hotels).

I have no clue what british people would search for:
- tenerife holiday rentals
- tenerife vacation homes
- tenerife private lets
what would be used commonly? I am still learning english, so please be indulgent (:

Second question:
when you search from GB on google.co.uk, would you rather visit a .com domain or do
you prefer .co.uk, or something else in the search results?

Thank you in advance
Centurion

I would say it's probably the first one.. The word 'vacation' is mainly used by Americans....

Same here as regards Tenerife holiday rentals. I would prefer co.uk as it feels more local.
