Questions Asked by Travelers

  • Q. Can you recommend a bed and breakfast in a particular area?

    A. One of my favorite parts of this site is the list of Recommended Inns, which includes recommendations from me and other travelers. If you don't find anything there that fits your need, post a note in the About Bed and Breakfasts Forum and you're likely to get recommendations from travelers around the world.

  • Q. How can I become an innkeeper?

    A. This site's collection of resources for future innkeepers is a great place to start. You can also post questions in the About Bed and Breakfasts Forum to get input from innkeepers and travelers around the world.

  • Q. How can I tell everyone about an inn I really like?

    A. The best way is to post a note in the About Bed and Breakfasts Forum. I'll see it there and add the recommendation to the Recommended Inns page as quickly as possible. You may also email recommendations to bandb.guide@about.com.

  • Q. How can I warn people about a bad inn?

    A. Post a note in the About Bed and Breakfasts Forum. Be sure that you provide specific examples of why you feel you were treated poorly, and do not resort to insults or foul language. Any inappropriate posts will be deleted.
