Moderator Note:

Baba420, do you have any Bed and Breakfasts to recommend to the original poster? If so, please share them here, rather than offering to "hook you up"...

Dont most hotels include complimentary breakfast ? So, what does B&B then imply in India ?

I think it means staying in someone's home - a homestay as they call it in India.

I think most of any such hotel designations don't necessarily mean much of anything in an Indian context really.

Anyway, Rajesh had already specified he meant it to mean a homestay. But it would help if people asking would specify what they mean yes -- it's often impossible to tell. (And no, even in India, a B&B isn't the same thing as a homestay. Though to define either would be hard indeed, for the reasons mentioned. For that matter, there are many definitions of the concept of "homestay" alone; as there would again be of any of the other categories. Five star, four star, no star -- yes, but what does it mean exactly? Often impossible to say, indeed. You may find a couple-of-stars-place a really excellent-value budget place, or always vice versa, of course.

See also some earlier thoughts of mine on the homestay concept as such btw: Cannot believe this quote - Homestays in Kerala? Which were never affirmed nor disproved, it must be said -- although there was some confirmation there.
