Is it safe to live in a homestay?

The so-called "don't stay in a homestay when traveling" is a great prejudice for cool girls who travel frequently. Kumeier doesn't know the reason and purpose of this proposal. I guess there are two possibilities: first, she was treated badly or had a poor experience when she lived in a homestay; One is to deliberately vilify or even attack the homestay.

Traveling abroad these years, the cool girls include a family. There are several ways to solve the accommodation problem: hotels, guesthouses, homestays, youth tours, tents, etc. The most choices are hotels and homestays, and homestays are the most important.

It can be said that if it is a family holiday and leisure tour, we basically choose hotels and homestays.

Not to mention the hotel, there are many facilities, even luxurious, including fitness, catering, entertainment, and conditions suitable for relaxing holidays and leisure. Similar to hotels, there are some characteristic homestays, such as some holiday villas, which should also be classified as "homestays". So, B&B doesn't necessarily mean low grade and poor facilities.

I believe you may also know that some places, especially popular tourist areas such as Erhai Lake in Dali, have some distinctive homestays with high decoration style and conditions, and the accommodation fee for one night may be higher than that of Shangri-La Hotel. There may be 200 yuan in one night, which means enjoyment from the environment to the senses. If you still say "staying in a homestay is not recommended", you can only understand it from the perspective of "money", but you can't afford it.

Baidu Encyclopedia defines B&B as: using idle resources such as local houses, the business premises are no more than 4 floors, the building area is no more than 800 ㎡, the host participates in the reception, provides small accommodation facilities for tourists, and experiences the local nature, culture, production and lifestyle.

Obviously, some villas used to receive tourists belong to the B&B category. I think, in addition to the price, it has many functions, and many aspects are not worse than the hotel, even more comfortable. I don't know where to start.

Generally speaking, homestays can be divided into urban homestays and rural homestays.

City B&B may be an alley in a residential area to better experience the feelings of local people. But to be honest, if I live in a city, I will basically choose a hotel, which is in line with this sentence. Because hotel management should be more standardized except that the price may be lower than that of hotels. If the hotel standard room is 200 yuan, Hotel 130 yuan, I'll choose the hotel. This can only be said to be psychological, and there is no strong reason.

If I travel to some places that deviate from the city, such as original ecological places or mountain scenic spots, my first choice is B&B.

Like the villa B&B and the characteristic high-end B&B mentioned above, there should be many kinds of rural B&B, and farmhouse and yurt should all be one kind of B&B.

The feeling of staying in a hotel is impossible for you.

I think many people have the idea of returning to the countryside, "picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and seeing Nanshan leisurely", while some homestays in rural areas or built in ravines have beautiful environment, mountains, water and forests, as well as fresh fruits and vegetables, birds and flowers. Do you want to stay here for a few days?

It is also very important that the operators and receptionists of B&B are usually the owners, relatives and villagers of B&B. They eat local native vegetables and vegetables with high nutritional value or health preservation value, although they are not as exquisite as hotels. Although the relationship between people is still paid service, the experience is different, so it will be more relaxed and you can experience the local folk customs, natural scenery and local cultural life. This is something you can't experience in a hotel.

Sometimes, when he comes back from a day's play outside, the boss or proprietress greets him cheerfully, talks for a while, stutters for a while, just like returning home. The proprietress says that she is going to eat today and is completely relaxed. This kind of feeling is not available in hotels.

Also, for example, when we go to different grasslands in Wulan, I will definitely choose to live in Mongolian yurts and go to Shangri-La, Yunnan, and I will definitely choose to live in Tibetan homestays. Living in a yurt and watching the starry sky and the decorative style of Tibetan dwellings are all different experiences. And the atmosphere of the boss lighting a bonfire at night is different from that of the hotel service staff.

Therefore, in terms of price, experience and feeling, B&B has many advantages that other accommodation methods do not have. It is recommended not to stay in a homestay when traveling, which is a bit unreasonable.
