CharmingHotelsUSA - Find a hotel worth remembering.

Bed & breakfasts across the United States

US bed and breakfasts that clear our guest-score and review threshold - the highest-scoring property type in our dataset.

  • Property type: B&B

Bed & breakfasts are the highest-scoring property type in our entire qualifying set. Small room counts and owner operation show up clearly in guest data.

The trade-offs are equally consistent: fewer rooms means less availability, most have no restaurant, and check-in windows tend to be narrower than at a hotel.

9,184 qualifying stays reviewed. 12 made this shortlist.

We start from every hotel, inn, resort, lodge and bed & breakfast in our United States dataset that scores 8.5 or higher on Booking.com with at least 100 guest reviews. For this page we then looked only at properties in the United States. See how we select hotels.

Common questions

How many hotels in the United States made this shortlist?

430 properties cleared our criteria and 12 are shown above, ranked by Charming Score. The highest-scoring is 303 BnB Inn Flagstaff at 9.7, with a 9.7 guest rating from 348 Booking.com reviews.

What do these stays cost?

Indicative nightly rates for the shortlist run from about $143 to $396 in our data export. Rates move with date, season and availability, so the figure on each card is a starting point rather than a quote.

What is the Charming Score?

It is our own 0-10 selection score, not a guest rating. It combines the Booking.com guest score (45%), review volume (20%), property class (10%), amenity fit (10%), independence and property character (10%) and price positioning (5%). The full method is published on the Charming Score page.

Have you stayed at these hotels?

No, and we do not pretend otherwise. Our selections come from guest data, property facts and location, not from first-hand visits. Our editorial policy explains exactly what we do and do not claim.
