What is guest house?

Guest house is a building that provides temporary accommodation. It is traditionally a small, privately owned homestead that rents out its rooms at a daily rate. The concept of guest house is common in the south

Generally there are two variations of paying guest house:

1. Home converted guest house;

2. Professionally run guest house with all necessary amenities and staff

1. In the first version of the guest house the family can get shelter and food (bed and breakfast) only and for rest of the jobs like washing of clothes and utensils, cleaning of room or area around their bed is to be done by the themselves.It is used like a private home which has been converted for the exclusive use of lodging. The owner usually lives in an entirely separate area within the property and the guest house may serve as a form of lodging business. This type of accommodation presents some benefits such as:

o Personalized attention

o Healthy and homemade food

o Quietness

o Inexpensiveness

2. In the second version, the guest receives the all necessary amenities which are required to live life comfortably like a fully furnished room, comfortable bed, air-conditioner, TV, hot and cold water supply and also one important aspect, security. A big plus point of a professionally run paying guest accommodation service is that the owner follows the safety norms set by their local government. Some of the important safety points are:

o Fire safety with regular fire drills

o Disaster management

o Updated safety equipments

o Information sign boards for guests and staff

o Government certifications
