In order to attract more potential customers, B&B owners have begun to build their B&B websites. Yet, many of the owners have not realized the importance how the websites can help for adm- inistering their B&B businesses, therefore the websites nowadays seem not able to exert the their significance in increasing tourists intention to stay. 　　Based upon the model of Ahn et al., this study explores the website qualities, which includes information quality, system quality, and service quality, the perce- ived beliefs, trust and satisfaction to see their influence on consumers' two kinds of intentions (intention to stay and re-browsing intention). 　　An online survey is conduct to those subjects who have experienced in browsing B&B websites before. A total of 505 returned data resulting in 420 valid samples. The findings show that service quality is the most influential factor to customers' perceived beliefs. As for the hypotheses for those perceived beliefs, trust, and satisfaction are all significant in influencing both the customers’ intention to stay and re-browsing intention; except the relationship between perceived ease of use and playfulness. The implications to academics and business are discussed.
