A guest house is a kind of lodging. In some parts of the world, 

guest houses are a type of inexpensive hotel-like lodging.

 In others, it is a private home that has been converted for 

the exclusive use of lodging. In the first version of the guest house

 the guest probably has to live with a family where they get shelter

 and food  only and for the rest of the jobs like washing clothes and utensils, 

cleaning of room or area around their bed is to be done by the guest.

 In the second version, the guest receives all the necessary amenities 

which are required to live life comfortably like a fully furnished room,

 comfortable bed, air-conditioner, TV, hot and cold water supply, and also one important aspect, security.

In some areas of the world, guest houses are the only kind of accomm

odation available for visitors who have no local relatives to stay with.

 Among the features which distinguish a guest house from a hotel, or inn is the lack of a full-time staff.
