The first question we receive on B&B etiquette is, should you tip the owner?
The owner of a B&B usually wears many hats.
They’re host, front desk attendant, and cook, for starters.
They welcome you, tidy up, and make you feel at home.

Another way to show your gratitude is with athank-you note.

When the server brings you the check, they also deserve a tip.
