Guesthouse: what is it? Types of Gestures

Guesthouse, or guest house - is a kind of constantly functioning small hotel. He is deprived of reception, so tourists who wished to stay at the guest house, it is better to contact the owners in advance and agree on the details of their stay. Hostesses live somewhere nearby or occupy one of the rooms of their gesta.

Guests should not clean the temporary dwelling. This is the duty of the owners. The owners of the guesthouse or their hired helpers spend 2-3 hours a day cleaning in the guest rooms.

Requirements for numbers are not very strict. If in hotels the footage of the apartments and the availability of individual hygiene kits in them are strictly regulated, then the guest can be staffed in accordance with the financial capabilities of the owners. Therefore, staying in a guest house costs travelers much cheaper, and the rooms are much more modest than hotel rooms.

What you need to know when opening your guesthouse

The idea to open a guesthouse has long been no longer new. More and more tourists, admiring the beauties of Sri Lanka, Bali or Cambodia, catch themselves thinking that it would be nice to have your own guest house on a hot tropical island.

The main problems that beginners have to face are ignorance of the laws of the country with which they plan to link their business, and the craftiness of local businessmen. In any case, judging by the opinions of those who tried to open their business on the islands, there were already cases when, having bought an already working guest house, the new owner learned that his property was simply reissued to some of the islanders.

In the event that the transaction turned out to be successful and new owners of real estate can start to perform their functions, most of them make the same mistakes. For example, they can not (or forget) mentally draw a collective image of a guest who chose this guesthouse for recreation. What is this - the collective image of the guest?

For example, guesthouse is conceived as a hotel for young people engaged in sports. It means that:

• The building should be more like a hostel than a hotel;
• Guests will need to provide a hearty breakfast;
• One of the rooms will have to be converted into a storage room for storing sports equipment.

If new owners of gesta plan to accept elite representatives accustomed to luxury, then the decor of the premises, the assortment of dishes and the availability of ancillary facilities will have to meet completely different standards.
