Bed and Breakfast is also termed as B&B and it is a small accommodation where the guests are given accommodation facilities and breakfast. Bed and Breakfast does not offer any other meal. This term was originated in United Kingdom but now it is used all over the world. There are less than 10 bedrooms in a typical Bed and Breakfast. These accommodations are used for the commercial purpose.

Bed and Breakfast accommodations are designed very simply to keep their costs low. In most of the Bed and Breakfasts there are private rooms for guests with an attached bathrooms with each room. There are some accommodations in which there is a private bedroom with a bathroom but the bathroom is usually shared between the guests. Private rooms of Bed and Breakfasts are not luxurious rooms but they are designed to provide maximum comfort to the people. Only breakfast is served in these private homes and breakfast is usually served in the bedroom, dining room or in the kitchen of the host.

Bed and Breakfast has become a primary business for the people but some individuals are also running it as a secondary source of income. In many Bed and Breakfasts the owner or the runner of the business does maximum of the work on his own like cleaning of the rooms and cooking etc. In the large Bed and Breakfast the professional staff is hired for cooking and cleaning of rooms. In order to keep Bed and Breakfasts different from the Small Hotels, professional management is not hired in these accomodations. In these guests rooms high standards of services are not offered therefore, Bed and Breakfasts are usually considered as the tertiary business.

There are various ideas which have been introduced in Bed and Breakfasts like floating Bed and Breakfast. The first Floating Bed and Breakfast was introduced in Seattle Washington.

Floating Bed and Breakfasts are made in the houseboats or boats and they give extreme entertainment to the guests. The Bed and Breakfasts are available all over the world but their services vary because of the national differences.

The common regulation that is followed in all Bed and Breakfasts is safety. Fire sensitive alerts, fire escape plan, smoking detectors and bathrooms are required in all of the Bed and Breakfasts. This shows that all necessities are usually offered in Bed and Breakfasts.

Hence, a Bed and Breakfast is the best option for the travelers who are not able to afford the high expenses linked with accommodating in Hotels and Inns.
