Choose the right accommodation type

Hotels
This type of accommodation is an establishment that provides paid accommodation, generally for a short duration of stay. Hotels often provide several additional guest services including spa/wellness services, conferencing, restaurant amongst others.
Hotels revolve around bringing their guests into a world of world class luxurious accommodation. However, this depends merely on a person’s budget. The most extraordinary hotels range 5-stars and offer a range of luxurious amenities. This type of accommodation is equipped with all fancy necessities a guest needs and more.
Hotels offer breathtaking views and have 24 hours reception services. The star rating of the hotel will reflect the quality of services and facilities they provide – which makes choosing between them much easier.
With all the luxury, hotels lack the kind of intimacy and lack of personal services as they serve quite a big number of other guests. Rooms may lack personal touch and personality.

Guest houses
Guest houses bring a more intimate homely feel with a budget tailored to suit the needs of travellers who want affordable but serene accommodate. Guest houses are relatively much smaller hence offering a sense of security and privacy to guests. They also offer at least two meals a day.
With guesthouses, guests get a homely environment with home-style cuisine and a personalized service. Guests have a chance to even interact straight with the owners. Moreover, they still get quirky, charming architecture style.
The affordable rates however mean a little less luxury and number of additional services and amenities. It is also trickier to get the best one as most of them do not get star graded. Furthermore, reception services have lesser hours than those of a hotel.

Bed and Breakfast (BnB)
Bed and Breakfasts are almost the same as guest houses although slightly cheaper in prices. BnBs usually have lesser rooms available. In similar fashion to guest houses, the facilities and services are not necessarily standardized in B&Bs either. Until you arrive, you never really know what you will get until you are at the establishment.
BnBs are less likely to have star grading which makes it difficult to find an ideal one. This may lead to the place not living up to your expectations when it comes to facilities or services. Meals are limited to only just breakfast. The reception has opening/ closing hours which may be a disadvantage for guests. However, this setting offers the best privacy and personal touch.
