One of the reasons as to why people choose such accommodations is that, homestays usually accommodate a lot of people (as it is a house itself). Homestays are also much cheaper compared to hotel room since they are your typical houses sans the room service. For Chinese travelers, they prefer non-hotel accommodations because of the local experience that you get when you live in a house that’s filled with cultural emblems.

Non-hotel accommodations vary by every traveler’s interest and taste; while Filipinos ranked first in booking B&Bs, private homes are the go to type of accommodation of Singaporeans, Malaysians and Australians. Meanwhile, villas and guest houses are preferred by Indonesian and Thai travelers.
