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.

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.

Generally B&Bs are smaller establishments than guest houses. A Bed & Breakfast is usually up to 3 guest rooms, while a guest house can be 4 even up to 16 or more rooms. In a nutshell, most B&Bs caters for maximum 6 guests at a time.

A guest house (also guesthouse) is a kind of lodging. In some parts of the world (such as the Caribbean), a guest house is a type of inexpensive hotel-like lodging. In others, it is a private home that has been converted for the exclusive use of visitor accommodation.
