A Look Back
In pre-Christian times and in the Middle Ages it was simply the done thing to greet travelers with food and drink. In return, they would tell exciting tales of their travels and all that they had experienced. Although life today is very different, BnB Switzerland continues to uphold traditional values and hospitality.
The history of BnB Switzerland
What Does BnB Switzerland Stand For?
BnB Switzerland was founded in 1995. With our marketing platform, we offer guests from around the world the opportunity to stay with private individuals in Switzerland, and get a taste of how the locals live. We are the official classification body for all B&Bs in Switzerland. Working alongside the Swiss Tourism Federation, we inspect all properties to ensure not only high standards, but that what you see on the website is what you get.
BnB Switzerland is a member of Switzerland Tourism, partner to the Swiss Tourism Federation, and an original member of the Parahotellerie Schweiz interest group. In 2020 the website was expanded to include classified guest rooms and vacation apartments, providing they meet the minimum requirements and look after their guests in person.

Tradition
Only verified accommodation makes it on to the BnB Switzerland website. All B&B providers must therefore participate in the classification system. Providers of homestays and vacation apartments must provide evidence of 'Guest Room' or 'Apartment' certification from the Swiss Tourism Federation.
All accommodation providers must satisfy each and every one of our minimum requirements. One of these is that they are present to welcome their guests in person when they arrive.
