What Do Star Ratings Mean and What Makes Us Special?
Hotel star ratings, such as those determined by Google, reflect a property’s overall quality, comfort, and service standards. Google compiles data from third-party sources, direct hotel feedback, research, and other sources to assess attributes like price, location, room design, and amenities. A Google 4- or 5-star hotel rating signifies an upscale guest experience, characterized by premium furnishings, thoughtful design, and high-quality service and amenities.
At Alpine Bed and Breakfast, we’re proud to share that we’ve earned a 4-star hotel rating, joining only two other top-tier properties in the Big Bend of Texas: Lajitas Golf Resort (4-star) and Cibolo Creek Ranch (5-star)!
What truly sets us apart, though, are the experiences our guests have. With over 420 5-star guest reviews on Google, TripAdvisor, Yelp, Facebook & Expedia (plus one 4-star review because no one’s perfect), we are the highest guest-rated accommodation in the Big Bend area including Terlingua, Presidio, Marfa, Alpine, Fort Davis, and Marathon.
With a 4-star hotel rating and a 5-star guest rating, it’s like being rated 5-💗!
