Staying in a bed and breakfast is either a briliant way of getting a more authentic feel for a place than a hotel; or it's a dire way to feel like an unwanted guest in someone else's house. The key factor? The hosts.

We have scoured Been there for the tips which sing the praises of the wonderful people whose knowledge and banter created a stay to remember - for good reasons.

If you feel there's someone we've overlooked or who needs mentioning then post a tip on the site or drop us an email: been.there@guardian.co.uk

Lauan Village Homestay

Posted by fionabennie 3 September 2009

A lovely lady called Tabu has you to stay in her home.
We stayed in her spare room and she cooked us the most delicious crab curry for supper!
We talked into the night about her life and her family who have lived on the same plot of land for generations.
During the day we snorkelled and borrowed a couple of bikes to wander up and down the Bolominski Highway and hang out in some of the other nearby villages. We even managed to catch a local game of rugby sevens.
A great experience and two nights we won't ever forget.
