How Guests Really Choose Your B&B

Guests don’t choose your B&B the way you think they do.

Most booking decisions happen emotionally and quickly, long before guests compare amenities or pricing. In this episode, Gerry MacPherson explains how guests really decide where to stay, why clarity matters more than perfection, and how B&B owners can attract better-fit guests without trying to appeal to everyone.

This weekly hospitality podcast is for current and aspiring B&B owners who want calmer operations, more direct bookings, stronger guest experiences, and less stress.

Expect practical hospitality advice, real-world stories, simple systems, and honest conversations about independent accommodation life.

Gerry MacPherson knows hotel ownership is not always glamorous.

Years ago, he helped operate a small hotel in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where he experienced first-hand the pressure, unpredictability, and daily chaos that many hospitality properties still face today.

Since then, Gerry has spent decades working in hospitality and tourism, visiting properties across the world and learning what truly makes independent hotels succeed.

Today, through Beds, Breakfast & Business, he helps B&B owners create calmer operations, stronger guest experiences, more direct bookings, and less stress through practical systems and honest hospitality conversations.
