Bed and Breakfast RegulationsThe most common regulations B&Bs must follow pertain to safety. They are required to have fire resistance, a sufficient fire escape plan in place and smoke detectors in each guest room. Kitchens and equipment used to serve meals must also be monitored for sanitation. Most B&Bs are generally compliant with their jurisdiction's laws. However, guests are mostly unfamiliar with these guidelines and tend to overlook any violations. Associations: While various local governments have regulations, membership in a state or national bed and breakfast association often indicates a higher standard of hospitality. Associations often review their members and tend to have additional standards of care. While the associations also facilitate marketing of the individual bed and breakfasts they also provide a stamp of approval that the business in question is reputable. |
