Why to choose home-stays over hotels?

Many tourists are used
to staying at hotels rather than home-stays on a vacation and return home after
a week. Many of you might be wondering what home-stay is? Home-stay is an accommodation
in which you stay at an individual’s home who lives in the same locality. Being
in a hotel or hostel can’t give you the satisfaction and happiness that is
offered by home-stays. There are many advantages of being in a home-stay:

• Do you want to get the comfort of home while being on tour? Home-stays provide you with the comfort and joy of being at your home.
• Traveling to a place is about getting exposure to the lifestyle and culture of that place. Home-stays gives you the experience of the locality firsthand.
• Enjoy the local cuisine found at that place and that too home-made.
• It is less costly and pocket friendly as compared to hostels/ hotels.
• Have the perk of staying in a family environment.
• In a home-stay, you get to meet interesting peoples and share with them your experience of life as well as listen to them and get a clear picture of the place.
• Being in hotels can’t build memories but home-stays will give you a memorable trip.
• You get to see the local culture (religion, making local dishes, understanding the local language, etc.)
• While hotels are highly professional, receiving personal care is less probable. Home-stays give you personalized services as each visitor is dear for home-stays due to the limited client-capacity of the houses.
• Get a peaceful environment away from the noise and clutter of cities.
• Do a good deed by financially supporting local families running a small business rather than multi-billion hotels.
