Quirky requests, discover 10 things guests say or do when staying at a bed and breakfast.

  • Guests will always ask for the "best room," even if they're all exactly the same.
  • No matter how many times you explain the breakfast schedule, someone will still show up late and expect a fresh, hot meal.
  • Some guests will try to sneak their pets in, even if your B&B doesn't allow pets. They think they're being sly, but you can usually tell.
  • At least one guest per season will ask if you can turn off the sound of the crickets outside their window at night.
  • If you offer Wi-Fi, there will always be that one guest who complains that it's too slow.
  • Some guests will try to bargain with you for a lower rate, even if you've already given them a discount.
  • You'll get a lot of people asking for directions to the nearest Starbucks or Costa Coffee, even though you serve great coffee in-house.
  • At least one guest per season will bring their own pillow from home and insist on using it instead of yours.
  • Can you move the sun a bit? It's shining directly into my room and it's too bright
  • Some guests will use all the towels in the room, even if they're only staying for one night.


Despite all the quirks our Q-Book clients say owning a B&B is still one of the most rewarding jobs out there!
