What's the difference between an inn and a homestay?

The difference between an inn and a homestay lies in the nature of operation, professional level, service scope, scale and volume.

1. nature of operation: homestays are usually operated by individuals or families, renting their own houses or rooms to tourists and providing basic accommodation facilities and services. The inn is a commercial accommodation service, managed and operated by a professional management team, providing more comprehensive accommodation, catering, entertainment and other services.

2. Professional level: inns are more professional than homestays, because they are managed and operated by professional management teams and provide more comprehensive services. B&Bs are usually run by individuals or families, and may not be managed and operated by professional teams.

3. Service scope: The inn provides a wider range of services, including accommodation, catering and entertainment. The B&B mainly provides accommodation services, and may provide some simple catering and travel guides.

4. scale and volume: in terms of scale and volume, homestays and inns are small accommodation forms with fewer rooms. But the scale and volume of the inn may be larger.
