Among the distinguishing features that distinguish a guest house from a hotel or bed and breakfast is the lack of full time staff.^[1][2] Bed and breakfasts are usually family owned, with the family living on the premises. Hotels maintain a staff presence 24x7. A guest house on the other hand will have limited staff presence. Because of the limited staff presence checkin is often by appointment.

Specialized courses in how to run guest houses are available.^[3][4]

In Japan a tenant in a guest house has to pay a substantial damage deposit, and has to pay a cleaning fee when they leave.^[5] One great thing about using a guest house in Japan is the fact that you usually have free internet in your own room.

If you bring your own P.C. with an Ethernet card, and your own cable you can simply plug in for free. ^[6]
