House rules differ, so read the current policy for the specific property. Common questions include quiet hours, shoes, food, shared kitchens, visitor access and waste sorting.

Use the written house rules

Do not assume one guesthouse follows the same routine as another. Ask politely when a rule is unclear and avoid relying on an old review for a current policy.

Shared spaces

Keep calls and packing noise considerate, label food only where requested and leave common areas ready for the next guest.
