Typically a Guest House or Guesthouse is a larger establishment than a Bed and Breakfast, with a range of different rooms. In many cases the difference between a Guesthouse and a Bed and Breakfast is one of choice on the owner’s part.
A Guest House usually also offers breakfast included in room rate but is not always licensed to serve alcoholic beverages. In an urban environment, a Guest House tends to be like small hotel and is generally more “urban” accommodation. In a rural area the same establishment may well have been designated a Bed and Breakfast.
Guest House is known as a Boarding House in the USA and Guest House can also be spelt Guesthouse. The term Boarding House is never used in the UK. The tourist boards and the AA have a common standard for awarding star ratings to a Guesthouse.
