I'm glad we now have a native English speaker clarify the issue for us. Thank you, Ethan.
Ethan Crossman Jan 7, 2021:
I feel as though homestay's meaning is more in the sense of you are living with a family. It's most commonly used for people studying abroad and living with a local family. I think guesthouse or bed and breakfast would much better suit 民宿.
jyuan_us Nov 18, 2019:
民宿是中国的新兴行业，实际上就是家庭开的小旅馆 而从这个字典上的解释来看，"homestay=a vacation or other period abroad"，homestay和中文的“民宿”根本不沾边。网上有人说I live in a homestay, 但是仔细看，这都是非英语国家的留学生写的错句， 而且，美国和英国的网页上，除了一两个网页含有外国留学生写的帖子中有I live in a homestay这样用的，基本上就看不到了。
jyuan_us Nov 18, 2019:
另一词典更明确:homestay=a vacation or other period abroad noun
noun: homestay; plural noun: homestays
a vacation or other period abroad spent staying in the home of a local family.
jyuan_us Nov 18, 2019:
Homestay 的字典解释仍然是动作名词：homestay = a stay at a residence by a traveler and especially by a visiting foreign student who is hosted by a local family。 有人那样说不等于那样说就是正确的说法。

Hey! Yes, that is the definition of homestay. But it refers to the physical accommodation as well. It is fine to say "I lived at a homestay/b&b/hotel". :)
jyuan_us Nov 18, 2019:
homestay是一个动作名词（见下边的字典解）而题目中的名词应该翻译为一个与 hotel/motel平行的词，因为民宿是一种physical的东西，更具体地说是用来招待客人的房子。就是家庭办的1旅馆，与一般旅馆的区别只是它规模小，只有一间或者几间客房。 homestay = a stay at a residence by a traveler and especially by a visiting foreign student who is hosted by a local family， 这个词典解释显然不符合题主的上下文。

中文的民俗是指实际的房子，供给游客下榻用。有人买了房子做这种生意，实际就是小型家庭旅馆。

有的民宿是不包早餐的，因此，译文不能含有“Breakfast”字样，见以下的参考：

旅行网上很多都用了“homestay house/homestay apartment”， homestay 起形容词作用
