Advantages of homestay families

What does homestay mean?

B&B refers to the use of idle rooms in self-occupied houses, combined with local humanities, natural landscapes, ecology, environmental resources and agricultural, forestry, fishery and animal husbandry production activities, to provide personalized accommodation for travelers who go out for an outing or travel far. In addition to ordinary hotels and guest houses, other places that can provide accommodation for tourists, such as houses, leisure centers, farms, farmhouses, pastures, etc. , can be classified as a homestay.

Three advantages of host families

1.B&B is convenient for communication and sharing.

Renting a hotel is all about communication and sharing, which is the essence of the inn for decades. From ancient times to the present, when you meet an old friend in a foreign country, you must enter the inn, and after three bowls of wine, you will recall the events of that year and shed tears. This is from China. People in China like to talk and chat. There are small groups and long queues. So this is the biggest difference between the inn and the hotel, and it is also the most attractive place of the inn.

Hotels are more about providing accommodation and catering services. China Online Inn has done a good job in their evaluation. There must be a boss who is very talkative and chats with you, not to mention the youth travel. Therefore, a good inn must have a good communication environment, share all kinds of happiness, and experience the most primitive but direct perceptual advantage of face-to-face communication between people, which is beyond the reach of large and best hotels such as Intercontinental, W and Sheraton.

Second, the homestay is small and refined.

There are generally not too many inns, up to dozens of roof days, or even more, just a few. In Hokkaido, Japan, there are many small hot spring hotels. These hotels are no longer hotels. Every corner and every decoration is a part carefully designed by the owner or boss. From the gate to the hall to the room, every place is filled with a deep and exquisite atmosphere.

As small as a saucer and a pair of tableware. It is this exquisite detail that makes it more attractive than the hotel, because perhaps a small pendant has a very touching and beautiful story. Living here requires not only communication, but also listening. Excellent inns have different decoration styles, but the only thing these inns have in common is that they can give you different stories and scenery.

Third, the hotel is warmer.

Hotels are usually concentrated in tourist attractions or hard-to-reach places, which also leads to the majority of tourists coming to the inn, that is, Yolanda in full bloom is also a young tourist. Although the service of some hotels is meticulous enough now, it can't achieve the warm effect at all. If I've ever seen a girl write about travel itinerary, it's actually a bowl of soybean milk for the innkeeper's breakfast.

Inn operators face fewer guests, which makes it easier to be a hotel. A good and excellent inn must be a warm and intimate inn. Many guests have become friends of the store after staying in the inn, which is the biggest difference between the inn and the hotel.

Three shortcomings of homestay

First, the hotel accommodation safety issues

Friends who travel frequently know that what we have to carry when we go out is our personal ID card, passport and so on. This is not only about buying tickets and boat tickets, but more importantly, preparing for staying in the hotel. Nowadays, it can be said that these regulations are very strict, and there is no doubt that the hotel will agree to let you check in with your ID card. However, many friends find that there are no formalities in homestays in many places. All they want is to pay the money, and they can check you in without filling in any personal information. Therefore, it is recommended to choose a well-known hotel with a formal business license.

Second, there is no standard for hotel prices.

For young people who like to travel, they all think that homestays are better than hotels, because they are beautifully decorated and closer to our lives, giving people a feeling of living at home. However, Bian Xiao found that the price of beautifully decorated and popular homestays was really unacceptable to us, not to mention those with elegant environment.

Third, the hotel is geographically remote.

B&B's geographical location, when we choose a hotel in the process of traveling, we usually choose a good location and convenient transportation, and we must be in a prosperous position. Because of this, it is convenient for us to walk out of the hotel anytime and anywhere and stroll around the busy blocks, which can also reduce our time on the road. However, folk customs are characterized by staying away from the noise and making our hearts feel calm. Therefore, the location of some homestays will be remote, because only in this way can we reflect the uniqueness of homestays, which is also the uniqueness of homestays.

The difference between a host family and a hotel.

First, the hotel is smaller than the hotel.

Our common homestays are generally 5- 10. After all, B&B evolved from family reception, and the owners of B&B are generally only a few people, so it is difficult to manage too many rooms. The scale of a hotel is generally dozens of times that of a B&B, but there are also many people. The best place to stay in B&B is Room 5- 15. Because it is too big, it is difficult for the host to have enough experience to communicate with the guests, and once this is lost, the true meaning of B&B will be lost.

At the same time, the public space of the hotel is small, while the public space of the hotel is relatively large. Generally, the area ratio of public * * * space to guest room space is between101.0 and 1.5/ 1.0. Some public * * * spaces in B&B will be equipped with a small library, a coffee bar, and even the collection and display of comics that the owner likes, providing public * * * spaces.

Second, homestays are more intimate than hotels.

B&B is actually a family life scene. Eating and living with the host can make you feel more at home. At the same time, residents can chat with other residents and hosts, learn more interesting stories from different places and get unforgettable journey experiences. Hotel management is more standardized, and the relationship with customers is the relationship between merchants and consumers. Once there is a problem, it will be solved according to the corresponding regulations, which lacks certain human feelings.

Third, hotels stress speed and efficiency, while homestays stress slow enjoyment.

Hotel check-in-check-out; ; When the host communicates and shares with the guests during their stay, he can often become friends with them. The two sides will keep in touch after the guests leave. Even the host will establish a circle of friends based on his homestay, and the guests will become active members of the circle of friends. The host will even receive gifts from guests from afar.

Fourth, hotels are more private and safer.

Hotels pay attention to customers' privacy, which is outstanding in design and service. At the same time, the hotel is equipped with 24-hour security personnel, and more customers will stay, which will make customers feel more at ease. As mentioned above, as a family life scene, we pay attention to communication and integration, which will reduce privacy while relaxing. However, with the rise of homestays in recent years, these two points are gradually improving, and now there is basically nothing to worry about.
