Guest house

In some parts of the world (such as the Caribbean), a guest house is a type of inexpensive hotel-like lodging.

The owner usually lives in an entirely separate area within the property and the guest house may be as a form of lodging business.

In some areas of the world, guest houses are the only kind of accommodation available for visitors who have no local relatives with whom to stay.

In India, a tremendous growth can be seen in the guest house business especially in Delhi-NCR (national capital region) where progress in the IT sector and the Commonwealth Games 2010 were the two most influential factors.

A big plus point of a professionally run paying guest accommodation service is that the owner follows the safety norms set by the local government.
