Understanding what drives guest satisfaction has become increasingly important as China’s B&B sector grows more competitive. Using 12,412 online reviews from nine B&Bs located in Mogan Mountain collected through Ctrip, this study examines the key experience dimensions associated with guest satisfaction. Semantic network analysis, CONCOR clustering, exploratory factor analysis, and regression analysis were employed to identify major service attributes reflected in customer reviews. The results show that professional service and family friendliness are positively associated with guest satisfaction, whereas dining, amenities, entertainment, and employee service are more frequently mentioned in lower-rated reviews. A comparison with prior literature further suggests that online reviews can reveal experience dimensions that are often overlooked in traditional survey-based studies. The findings offer practical insights for B&B operators seeking to improve service quality and customer experience.
