The term
"Bed & Breakfast" is not widely used in Mauritius
probably because it has no equivalence in French. Difficult
to draw a line between these and guest houses, except
that the latter tend (but not always) to propose half-board
accommodation. Not all guest house owners live in
the buildings but their managers tend to live on or near the
spot.

Guest houses
and Bed & Breakfast are somehow the most recently
developed type of accommodation in Mauritius and
seem to have a bright future as the universal favour for
smaller structures gains ground; the better availability
of airline seats by individual travellers also helps.
What is the quality level of
Guest houses / Bed & Breakfasts in Mauritius?
It seems to be too early to judge as there are very few
of them in operation. The beginning is definitely promising;
in terms of quality of service and especially as far as
the locations / sites are concerned. They are usually
placed on beautiful stretches of beach or in unique |
private properties in remote and
authentic places like Chamarel. Their quality and general market
level is bound to be near the higher end owing to the initial
cost of flying to Mauritius.
What is the availability of Guest-houses
in Mauritius?
They tend to be constantly busy but rarely fully booked.
How much in advance should one
book Guest-houses?
No rule here, except that their occupancy rate follows the trend
set for hotels.
How to benefit from cheaper rates in
Guest-houses?
Guest houses like B & B’s tend to run
a flat rate all year round and no special offers.
Where to book Guest-houses / Bed &
Breakfasts in Mauritius?
They can be booked directly (using Tropicscope
as a directory) or via locally-based agencies as they are normally
disregarded by the big ones owing to their limited capacities
of generating cash. Rates would normally be uniform irrespective
of the channel used.
