IS YOUR GUESTHOUSE of CHOICE INSURED ?

As a guest at a B&B or guesthouse , you have found

the food superb
the accommodation great
and the setting beautiful


BUT WHAT ABOUT THE ESTABLISHMENT'S INSURANCE?

As a traveller, whether you are a South African travelling at home or an international visitor to South African shores you will want to ensure that wherever it is that you chose to stay during your travels that the accommodation is of the level you would expect. Accommodation that suits you, food you enjoy and a location in which you can relax.

But what about the insurance of the establishment you have chosen? Accidents can, and do, happen and you need to be certain that if you are the unfortunate victim of an accident that is clearly the fault of the owner of the establishment in which you are staying that you can seek compensation and know that the guesthouse has the correct and adequate insurances to look after you.

Sadly, many of the B&B and guesthouse establishments in South Africa do not have either correct or adequate insurances and an accident to you, the fault or negligence of the owner, resulting in major costs may result in you being able to recover very little. A relatively small claim in Pounds would probably be more than most B&B's are worth in South African Rands.

It is for this reason that it is so important that when making a reservation at a B&B or guesthouse in South Africa you confirm that they are insured by BnB SURE, a comprehensive policy for B&B's & guesthouses that will be there to look after you, the traveller, should you suffer an accident the cause of which was the negligence of your host. You can’t afford to ignore peace of mind when you travel.
