By Judy J. Beasley Last updated Aug 6, 2021

In a report released this month, Airbnb listed the most hospitable hosts in all of Texas.

To qualify, guesthouses had to achieve exclusively five-star ratings in the categories of cleanliness, check-in and communication. To take an accurate temperature, each establishment had to have received at least 100 notices to be taken into account. In total, Texas is home to 29 Airbnbs with the honorable designation.

A few of the major stops happen to be in the San Antonio area. Here’s what you need to know before booking your next stay.
