Question

    Hotels are no longer the first and only choice for travellers in China to sleep at night. A new type of accommodation (住宿) choice called bed-and-breakfast (B&B) is welcoming more visitors in China.

During this month’s Golden Week, bookings for the B&Bs in China grew by 400 percent from 2016, according to B&B booking website Tujia.com.

Starting in Europe, B&B is often a private family home. Travellers pay to stay overnight and have breakfast. In China, many B&Bs are in rural (农村的) areas and are more about fun, experiences and new friendships, reported by China Daily.

“The meals are cooked by the host. Very often, vegetables are homegrown. Hosts and guests chat over a meal and play with the pets together,” Yu Minliang, a 23-year-old tourist from Shanghai, told China Daily.

However, as more B&Bs come out, the service sometimes may not be good enough. Some guests complained the soundproofing (隔音) is bad and the house is dirty.

To solve the problem, the first national industry standards were carried out on Oct.1. For example, every B&B should provide no more than 14 guest rooms and things like towels and sheets must be changed after every visitor.

The standards will help the B&B industry develop in a healthy and sustainable (可持续的) way, reported CNR (中国广播网).
