We discussed once on #osm-talk when I asked more or less the same question... The distinction between b&b and guest house is related to the law in your country, generally b&b need to have max x rooms for guests, otherwise they are guest houses (I try to use guest_house now also when the name is "Bed & Breakfast Mickey Mouse" but the legal status defines it as guest_house) > > Pieren > > Regards, Stefano > [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%AEte > > _______________________________________________ > Tagging mailing list > Tagging@openstreetmap.org > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging >
