This study has three specific objectives that are: 1) to determine the effect of physical environment, social environment and price fairness on guest emotions within P2P accommodation sector in Malaysia; 2) to determine the effect of physical environment, social environment and price fairness on guest satisfaction within P2P accommodation sector in Malaysia; and 3) to determine the effect of guest emotions and guest satisfaction on guest’s behavioral intentions within P2P accommodation sector in Malaysia.
