The Guest Favorite Award, based on guest preferences and independent reviews posted to the site, is the gold standard and highest distinction awarded by BnBFinder.

“Guests at the Grand Living B&B gave it high marks for its relaxing atmosphere and the gourmet breakfasts provided by Innkeepers Bill & Gloria Job,” according to Mary White, founder of BnBFinder and author of the book, Running a Bed & Breakfast For Dummies.

“It is so gratifying to see them (guests) with enjoyment each morning, sharing friendly conversations over the breakfast table,” said Gloria. “I am now fulfilling my lifelong dream of owning a B&B and I couldn’t ask for more.”

User-generated reviews have surpassed inspections, rating systems and traditional travel guides as an important resource for researching potential accommodations.
