Users leave reviews for other users about the places they have stayed, so you can learn everything you need to know about a place before booking your stay. Using the explanatory with the use of thematic analysis, it was concluded that the chosen B&B is still in need of some factors with regards to providing quality service to its guests or customers.

Event Management Facilities, Personalized Stuff, and In-need of Effective Managerial Team were the major key take-away of this study.
