Bermuda Guest Houses
While Guest houses and Inns in Bermuda are generally bed and breakfast type accommodations, they are not necessarily all cheap lodgings or private homes. Some of them can be quite up-market and all are inspected by Tourism Department of Bermuda and certified as commercial lodgings.
Although some of the guest houses in Bermuda are also called Inns, but unlike Inns in North America, they do not serve alcohol or even lunch or dinner. The guesthouses listed below are highly rated and conform to high standards of commercial accommodations.
The rates vary. The cheapest ($) category can be between $150 - $200 for two persons per night. During winter season (Nov - Mar) most of the guest houses in Bermuda offer lower rates. Keep in mind that there is generally 9.75% occupancy tax and 10% service charge applicable. This is apart from tips (often called gratuity). Extra charge is applicable for additional persons or even for kids above some age. Ask the property owner about any extras that you might have to pay. in general, the rates do not include any meals or breakfast unless explicitly specified.
Check if and what kind of breakfast is served in the guest house. Continental breakfast (usually some bread, jam and fruits) is way different from full American or British breakfast. Also note that all guest houses and inns may not have wi-fi or other form of internet access. You may like to check that before booking if that is your key requirement.
