What makes a room the best guest room?
The staff think it is a great room that deserves it.

Can it be won multiple times?
Yes.

Does best guest room owners win a vip pin?
Only if they have won it before, they get it every other time (this includes other awards, such as getting VIP award instead of best quest because you already got best game).

Who decides who wins?
VMK Staff.

You can't win over and over for the same room but a person can win more than once. I have won it 3 times myself that was in more than a year of playing.

What staff looks for is a room that is different. They usually like things to be used in a different manner. So create something out of the items in the game that can get their attention.

It also makes a difference what other rooms they see in that week. Just having staff come in does not mean you will win. I not only had staff in my rooms one time she made everyone stop talking so she could get a good picture. Even that didn't mean I would win.

So make a room for the fun of it, if you make a room just to win you are most likely going to be disappointed. There are a LOT of people that play this game and most of them would like to in Best Guest. The odds are not great for any room or any player.

The fact that a staff member came to your room is good. It does not guarantee a win, but you cannot win without them seeing it.
One visit is all it took for my Best Guest Room.
I think it takes a unique room...in that I mean that maybe you have set up furniture is a new way...or you have created a room that people want to hang out in for what ever reason...something other than some furniture sprinkled around the room. Maybe you have a unique theme, or a good use of color. A person can win multiple times with different rooms. You win a best guest room pin, unless you have won already, then you get a VIP pin. Staff decides who wins, but we don't know exactly how that happens.

I won my Best Guest with a holiday room last year. I made a Hanukkah room,
and it was quite....bright. I tried to use a lot of color, and apparently the
judges saw it and liked it enough.

I won my Best Game award right after the Everest event. I created a game
that I hadn't seen before, and of the three games I've hosted, it's still my
favorite.

I didn't assume that I'd win Best Guest or Game again, but if I win either,
I will earn the VIP award. I have seen staff visit other rooms I've had
in the past month or so, but I just see it as a "staff being friendly" visit.

If you take all staff visits as a "OMG, I think I will win a best room award!",
you'll only disappoint yourself if you don't win.

Good luck in your efforts!

The only way that staff can visit your room is if it's popular right? How do you ppl get your room to be popular and stay popular? I've had popular rooms sometimes, a couple of times they were red mickeys and staff visited once but the one staff visited was a trade room and obviously a trade room wouldn't win an award would it? The other one that was red mickeys was a free stuff room and of course that would be popular. Is it only colors that win best room awards? Because I'm working on a room with not much color called Winter Wonderland. It has a little house made of pirate walls, blue crates, and ice cubes in the left of the room. I plan on putting a couple fireplaces in there. It has a campfire that is off to be a chimney on top of it. I'm putting toy soldiers on the outside of the walls. It has narnia teleporters as a door to get in. I am putting a christmas tree surrounded by presents in the middle of the room. It has two ice thrones with a street lamp in between them on the right of the room. On the top left I made a snowman out of ice cubes and an animator stool on top to be a hat. Do you think this could win best guest room. Do you think it could at least become popular.

Staff can go into your room even when they are empty so it doesn't matter how many people are in it. I won my last Best Guest when I was the only one in the room. The picture is of me by myself in the room.

When is the best time to open up your room?

In other words, when is staff most likely to visit guest rooms? Or do they just come in whenever they feel like it?

I can't believe how many times I've opened a new game and closed it right after. I'm usually working on a game or 2 at a time, as I am now...

I ran my most recent game about 4-5 times.

But you know what's really ironic? I just realized that with all three games
I've run, VMK has removed any prize I gave shortly thereafter .
I am scared to run another game or my "curse" will be in effect again!

Seriously! When I did Duck Duck Boats, I gave the Karo tiki chairs as prizes.
With my Home Run Race game, one of my prize levels was for the tiki idols.
And well, I know Halloween theme is temporary, so I don't think the Halloween
items I gave as prizes technically should count. But still...gone.

I would love to resurrect my Duck Duck Boats game, but I would need VMK
to start putting back my prizes in Shrunken Ned's!

Your room doesn't necessarily have to be popular...but do give it an interesting name that will catch the staff's eye. Like "Swimmingirl's Hang out room" would not be good.

For my "Ppiglett's Who Wants to be Rich" game room, it naturally became popular because 1) it's a good game and 2) people wait to play, so it fills up.

For my "Somewhere over the Rainbow" best guest room, it was never really more than a couple of Mickey's...it was just a very colorful, unique rainbow of a room.

did u ever win?

LisaInNC's advice is excellent. Staff seems to like it when you use furniture in a way it wasn't intended to be used. Be sure to organize your room to show you put thought into it and make sure the room is fun for your guests. If your room is just a jumble of random furniture, it probably won't win. One thing not to do - don't use dictionary dancing in your room title or description. Plenty of rooms have won with dictionary dancing but I had a game room that staff liked but they sent me a message saying they couldn't consider it for best game unless I removed the dictionary dancing from the room description.

I have won Best Guest room twice, both times because I made a unique dance floor. Based on that, I tell everyone to make a dance floor.

The first time I won was last Christmas. I made a dance floor out of stacked green tables and the green tiki rugs. The rest of the room was decorated with Christmas items. I came up with a catchy title, "Rock Around the Christmas Tree" or something close to that and invited people to come in and dance on the tree in the room description.

The second time I won was late this summer (I think). I was trying to come up with the strangest items to put on top of the palm tree trunks. I decided the water rugs were the item because in real life a puddle would not be able to be held up by four poles. I put the water rugs on different levels of tree trunks to make a multi-level floor. It's in a Typhoon Lagoon room so it is difficult to tell there are different levels until you walk around the room. You can walk on top of the water and sometimes you can walk under it. The effect is kind of cool because you can sort of see through the water rugs. I added some blue furniture to provide seating for those who didn't want to dance and invited people to come have fun. The room title is, "Floating Dance Floor."
