A guest house is a separate space from a main home that provides accommodations for guests, family members, or even renters. A guest house can range in size from a small 200 square foot studio with a kitchenette to a large two-bedroom, two-bathroom space with a full-sized kitchen, living room, and dining area.

In some areas of the world, guest houses are the only kind of accommodation available for visitors who have no local relatives with whom to stay.

A guest house is a small, separate building on the grounds of a larger building. It always has at least a bedroom area, almost always has its own bathroom, and often has some small kitchen facilities.
