Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): AllegroTrans, Edith Kelly

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Family If this was an English text to start with, or Denglish, "family run" is the obvious answer. Otherwise, indeed, "family style" may be the intention?
Sarah Swift Jan 3, 2011:
Too true, Johanna It might indeed be one to clarify directly with the customer if the ownership/management question isn't obvious. "Casual atmosphere" might even fit better even if the hotel is actually family run.
Johanna Timm, PhD Jan 3, 2011:
Brigitte has a point - familiär can also mean "informal" : google for the phrase "sehr familiär geführt" and you will see that this term does not necessarily refer to a family-run business, but can also describe a relaxed, casual atmosphere
Darko Kolega (asker) Jan 3, 2011:
it's ok thanks!

managed by the owner family

I assume this is meant - it could also mean that the hotel is managed like a family business. You might need to check (google).
