Gay-friendly hotels selected by misterb&b

We help ensure gay travelers can travel and feel welcome anywhere they go. To help in that aim, we have added gay-friendly hotels as alternative to our community-based room and apartment sharing.

How do we select and designate these gay-friendly hotels?
To vet their welcoming attitude and acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community, we consider many criteria including: support or affiliation to LGBTQ+ organizations such as IGLTA, TagApproved, NGLCC (USA), LGBTNetwork, etc. We also look at how hotels reach out to the LGBTQ+ community (LGBTQ+ section on websites, marketing spend on LGBTQ+ outlets, staff training (Out Now), etc.) and we consider their HRC ratings (USA).
