Note 1. An active free courtesy link to the websites of all properties will be always be shown gladly when they do likewise with a reciprocal link to this site. Active email addresses will also be shown when properties agree to link. Another benefit of linking in this way is that potential or repeat customers can see accommodation prices posted on websites to which this site links. There is no obligation at all for any properties not linking to this site to be included on this page.  Sorry, but websites that won't reciprocate the free courtesy active reciprocal hyperlink we offer are not linked to on this page. Nor is there is no obligation at all for any properties not linking to this site to be included on this page. 

Housekeeping units are their names in Bermuda. But in North America, where Bermuda gets 95 percent of its tourism business, they are efficiency units. In British terminology  they are self-catering units ("European Plan" in North America). A few have their own private beach but none are far from lovely public beaches. See our list of Bermuda Beaches. Most have a pool and pleasant views but not usually a clubhouse. 

They don't serve breakfast unless they have their own restaurant (very few do), but there are many restaurants available in every Parish. See our list of Bermuda Restaurants. Otherwise, staying guests buy and prepare their own food, obtainable at local supermarkets or convenience stores. The Wednesday or Friday local daily newspaper will have details of weekly prices in the local food stores. Or see the Cost of Living Guide. With Bermuda's resident population of 61,400 in only 21 square miles, plus 550,000 visitors a year, pick a place that will give you peace and quiet.

Most places shown below are commercial operations, licensed and inspected by the Bermuda Government's Department of Tourism and up to international standards. But a few are select private homes, not licensed or inspected - the main reason why only a few of them are here - taking paying guests, offering a limited number of bedrooms to visitors. 

Some owners of private homes may be employed during the day at other places so you may find it more productive to contact them at weekends or after 6 pm Bermuda time (one hour ahead of EST and 4 hours behind GMT). 

Some have lower rates from November to March. Those with web sites and E-mail addresses can receive or send any e-mail messages from your family or friends or colleagues or associates or employer. When properties mentioned have their own distinctive websites (as most do), a simple hyperlink to Bermuda Online will not only be reciprocated (cross-linked) immediately, but will ensure via the cross linking system that all visitors to Bermuda, via this site, can see their current accommodation prices. In addition to what properties charge - ask them directly - visitors should expect to pay the following Bermuda Government Taxes (a) Occupancy Tax of  7.25% and (b) a Resort Levy of 10%. Ask any property at which you stay about this and any further extras.

• If a participating hotel is unable to continue operations due to damage incurred by a hurricane (as determined by the Bermuda Weather Service), the hotel will invite you to return for a complimentary stay within one year from the reopening
• The replacement stay must be taken within one year from the hotel’s reopening and will be in an equivalent room category to the original booking. Other expenses, including airfare and incidentals, are not covered by this guarantee
