Guest houses are typically smaller than hotels, which means that you can enjoy a more intimate and cozy atmosphere. Whether you're traveling as a couple or in a small group of friends or family, this can be very enticing.

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.

Bed & Breakfasts cater only for breakfast while guest houses may cater for even lunch and dinner. Both properties offer daily housekeeping and should have en-suite bathrooms. In short, B&Bs are private homes that offer lodging and breakfast facilities. B&Bs are more homely than guest houses.
