Misterb&b is not a hotel or chain, but rather a booking site for rooms, apartments and homes. Similar to Airbnb, misterb&b is an online service that allows you to rent short- or long-term spaces from gay and gay-friendly hosts around the world. They have hosts in more than 135 countries with more than 300,000 total listings.

Meeting new people is a great benefit of renting your place on misterb&b. When you open your home to other gay travelers, you open yourself up to the possibility of new friendships. Sure, some travelers are just looking for a place to crash but others will be happy to chat with their host, grab drinks or even share a meal. As misterb&b hosts ourselves, we’ve kept in touch with some of our guests long after checkout. Find out what past hosts have to say about misterb&b.

A little extra cash in your account couldn’t hurt. Renting your spare room on misterb&b is a fast and easy way to reach your financial goals while offering someone a great gay travel experience. They have a safe and secure payment method, and everything is handled within the trusted website.

The ‘Sharing Economy’ has made a big impact on the travel industry in the past decade with major leaders like AirBnB and Uber to the hundreds of other home and ride-sharing businesses available. Today’s travelers are often choosing home rentals over hotels and it’s no wonder why. They can get a more comfortable, cost-effective stay and personal attention from their host instead of the sometimes impersonal offerings of an outdated or overpriced hotel room. Nowadays travelers even have a large selection of home-sharing sites to choose from. If you’re a gay traveler, the top choice for renting a room or home while traveling is misterb&b.

Also, if you’re serious about earning some extra cash, it’s definitely worth listing your space on both misterb&b and on Airbnb. While misterb&b is solely focused on the LGBT+ community, you will actually get more bookings from Airbnb as the company has a larger client base. So if you’re comfortable with non-LGBT+ guests staying in your place as well, then listing on both places will give you the best opportunity to maximize your space and earn more money from visitors. Airbnb is a major supporter of the LGBT+ community and has a strict non-discrimination policy so you shouldn’t worry too much about receiving intolerant guests. But one way we were able to ensure there were no surprises was to specifically mention in our Airbnb profile that we were a gay couple so that any guests viewing our space understood the situation before booking. Click here to list your room or space on Airbnb as well!

Provide a Safe Space for Your Guest

When you’re a host, there is a business mentality to providing accommodation, which is perfectly ok. You should treat it as such by offering quality service that is still more personal than a hotel. However, you’re also doing a positive thing for the gay community by providing accommodation that gay travelers can rely on. Being in a foreign country can be concerning at times for gay travelers and you can be the best source for guidance beyond just explaining the gay neighborhood as you know how to navigate being gay in your culture and in your city. This is an extra reassurance a hotel often can’t provide for such a niche community, but gay hosts can do so easily.
