Is it better to stay in a B&B or a hotel?

This question cannot be directly compared with good and bad, because it varies from person to person and depends on personal preferences. B&Bs and hotels have their own advantages and needs, so the choices will be different.

Let’s talk about B&Bs first: B&Bs are generally located around scenic spots, with beautiful environment, unique design, and more experience and intimacy. I rarely stay in B&Bs, I mostly stay in hotels. But in 2017, when I was working on an ancient town project in Xingyi, Guizhou, in order to make a report to the government department, I went to several scenic B&Bs in Wanfenglin Scenic Area for special inspection and photography, and I gained a completely new understanding of B&Bs. I'm not afraid of making you laugh. I always thought that B&Bs were simply renovated farmers' houses and were called B&Bs. However, during this inspection, I had a very high understanding of B&Bs. What I saw this time was a B&B built on the slope of a hillside. There is a pool without edge, and you can sit around the deck chairs and have a panoramic view of Wanfeng Forest. The overall environment is carefully designed, very unique and wonderful; the other one is built next to Wanfeng Forest Scenic Area, and the window opens to the rice field scenic area, where you can lie in the bathtub and watch the stars. , wonderful. The owners of both places are literary and artistic people from some cities. They treat this B&B as a work of art. They can drink tea, chat and chat with you. They will cook some hometown meals according to the guests’ requirements every day. There is a feeling of being at home. Overall feeling: B&Bs are more unique, more elegant, closer, more integrated into nature, and feel more like home. B&B itself is part of travel.

But I feel that the price of B&Bs is higher than that of hotels (this is the case in Xingyi, I don’t know about other places), and B&Bs are generally not big, so you need to book in advance during the peak season. For reservations, the price is also higher than usual.

Let’s talk about hotels: Hotels should generally be far away from scenic spots, neat, clean, and satisfactory. Generally, hotels are built in the center of the city. Firstly, you can have a good rest and relax after leaving the scenic area; secondly, you can also go shopping in the street at night, which is also a kind of tourist mood and has a lot of fun. In general, hotel prices in cities are lower than those of good B&Bs, and the conditions are also very good. Finally, I would like to say that whether a hotel or a B&B varies from person to person and according to their needs.

From the former craze of star-rated hotels to the current popular trend of homestays, homestays have become the favorite of self-driving people.

Let me share with you what advantages a B&B has over a hotel?

1. Each room in the boutique B&B has its own theme, and this theme is very rustic and local cultural. In a big city of reinforced concrete, you can transport nature soil, but you can’t bring the rustic humanity of the countryside;

2. The B&B owner has his own hobbies and theme positioning, and his own circle of contacts, so in the public *** space, you can integrate into local niche circles, understand life with them, and improve the quality of your journey;

3. You can experience local woodworking, textiles, and tying Dyeing, farming and other activities can increase your travel experience, enrich your life experience, and master more skills;

4. You can make local snacks with the host, and then have a dinner together;

5. In the B&B space, you can have your own talent show, or you can make tea, practice calligraphy, and paint with the B&B host. ;

6. B&Bs are usually surrounded by beautiful scenery.

7. You can paddle or drive yourself to enjoy the beauty of the countryside.

8. Compared with star-rated hotels of the same quality, the cost of B&Bs will be much lower.

Moreover, private kitchens, public spaces, local salon gatherings, etc. are all things that star-rated hotels don’t quite have.

The materials in this article all come from Tiantai. I have been engaged in B&B operations for more than ten years. More discussions and exchanges are welcome. The comment area is waiting for you!

In the past few years, I have traveled by car and stayed in B&Bs. A family of five rented a B&B with three bedrooms and two living rooms. The price per day is between 300 and 400 yuan. It is well-furnished and hygienic, especially the kitchen utensils are provided so you can cook your own meals, which solves the problem of expensive and unpalatable dining out. Especially when traveling along the coast, you can buy fresh and low-priced seafood at the seafood morning market. You can cook it yourself in a B&B, which has a unique flavor.

I think it is better to stay in a B&B, which is convenient and not expensive.

Accommodation is an important issue when traveling. How well you rest during the trip is directly related to the quality of tourism. Accommodation is also a large part of tourism expenses. How to choose a place to stay? Firstly, it must be comfortable and safe, and secondly, it must be quiet and clean, which is pleasing to the eye and ensures sleep quality. When traveling over the years, I have stayed in both B&Bs and hotels, and I have seen both those with good conditions and those with average conditions. There is still a difference in experience between staying in a hotel and staying in a B&B. When choosing, you can make a comparison from the following aspects. Accommodation atmosphere, sense of security and privacy

Staying in a hotel is more secure than staying in a B&B. The hotel has security personnel on duty 24 hours a day. The hotel attaches great importance to customer privacy and the space is more private. B&Bs are based on families and pay more attention to communication and integration between people. While people are relaxing, there is less privacy. I remember my first self-guided trip to Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village. Because I was not sure about the accommodation there, I booked a B&B online. When I got there at night, I saw that the rooms were separated by wooden boards and the sound insulation effect was not very good. The tourists next door were talking and could be heard in the room. The bathroom facilities were simple. I barely stayed for one night and quickly changed accommodation the next day. The security and privacy were too poor. From then on, whenever I stayed in a B&B during a self-guided tour, it was... After visiting the venue and deciding whether to stay, I rarely book online. Hardware facilities and scale

Hotels are more formal than B&Bs. The hardware facilities are relatively complete. The number of rooms is several times that of B&Bs. There are many staff members, each performing their own duties and responsibilities. B&Bs evolved from families, so they have fewer rooms, are smaller in scale, and are simpler and easier to manage. I once went to Vietnam, and the hotel I stayed in was very high-end and grand. It was similar to five-star hotels in China. It had first-class service and I really felt that the customer was God. The room was very comfortable and quiet. The breakfast was exquisite and there were countless varieties. In particular, the beef noodles left a deep impression on me. This is an experience that is impossible to have when staying in a B&B.

In short, traveling is about relaxing, appreciating the scenery and experiencing the customs of other places. Rest is the most important part. Group tours are where the travel agency arranges accommodation. Only self-guided tours can choose where to stay and where to stay. Whether you stay in a hotel or a B&B depends on your personal preferences and needs. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. However, whether you stay in a hotel or a B&B, you must choose a place with better conditions. I prefer B&Bs. Personally, I think it is best not to stay in a B&B while traveling. Save on accommodation fees and focus on comfort and safety. After all, the travel experience is the most important. Is it better to stay in a B&B? Is it better to stay in a hotel? To answer this question, you must first make it clear whether you are traveling for an in-depth tour or a sightseeing tour.

If it is a fleeting sightseeing tour, since the time is short and the itinerary is long, there is no time to stay in one place and play quietly, so it is a wiser choice to choose to stay in a hotel. Because hotels have more convenient and complete services for guest accommodation than B&Bs, making it easy to live and eat, and fast to come and go. They are suitable for sightseeing in multiple locations and projects.

If you want to experience the original ecological life of tourism in depth, then staying in a B&B is the best choice. Because the time is long and the projects are few, staying in a B&B is economical and affordable.

You can go shopping for food, cook and visit shops, chat with the surrounding residents, have a deep understanding of the local culture and history, quietly savor the local customs, and leisurely enjoy various local delicacies and delicacies. , integrate into local life and truly understand the origin of a place.

Therefore, whether it is better to stay in a B&B or a hotel when traveling depends entirely on your travel style, which determines whether to stay in a B&B or a hotel.

If you can stay for a few days, I recommend staying in a B&B. Firstly, it’s affordable, and secondly, it’s free, so you can maximize your travel experience. Wouldn’t that be better? So I think staying in a B&B is the best choice.
