Proper Behavior To Observe At Bed And Breakfast

By Annabelle Holman


Traveling to tourist destinations such as historical sites are exhilarating. Prior to visiting these sites, a place to sleep should be of importance to the tourists. Aside from that, getting food should also be prioritized.

There are tourists who are on a budget and could not afford to book a hotel room. For this matter, Stone Ridge Bed and Breakfast can be an effective solution. This place offers lodging at an affordable and cheaper daily rate than hotels. Hotel reservations are usually done by those tourists who have money to spare. Aside from lodging, a morning meal is also included in the daily rate but other meals will not be offered.

When looking for bed and breakfast, the traveler should ensure that he has read and understood the policies, the room rates, and the payment schemes that it has. This way, confusion and other unwanted incidents can be prevented. It would be a good thing if the traveler can discuss these policies with the innkeeper. He might have queries that the owner can provide answers to as well as clarifications for certain policies.

In cases that he may have to cancel the reservation he made, the traveler should be mindful of the cancellation procedures. This is to ensure that he will not be paying cancellation fees or penalties. He should also make inquiries if pets are free to roam the place and stay there, if he has a pet traveling with him. For smokers, a designated smoking area is put up in most lodgings as these establishments usually have no smoking policies.

Once reservations are made, arrival of the tourist on time is usually assumed by the owner. If the tourist encounter any trouble that will delay his arrival, he should call the host to notify him of the delay. Instead of waiting at the reception area, the host will have time to entertain other guests and do several preparations.

During his stay, the tourist should respect the privacy and rights of the host as well as his fellow guests. Loud music is not appreciated at these places and he may need to lower the volume down. Aside from that, he should not stay in the bathroom for a long time as other guests may need to use it. He should make sure that the bathroom is clean before leaving.

The tourist should be eating his meal within the allotted time for morning meals. Most of these places have a certain time frame for breakfast. If he has any concerns regarding the time frame, he may discuss them with the host. Both individuals may reach a consensus and take the necessary steps to enact this.

If appliances are not functioning properly and amenities are not working, as well, he needs to communicate the matter to the host. It would be respectful if he can do this first thing in the morning and not when the owner and the guests are sleeping. This action is reasonable if there is an emergency.

When it is time to leave, the tourist should not take items belonging to the place home. He should also leave the furniture and things in the condition that they were in before he came. As a part of etiquette, he should also thank the owner upon checking out.
