Live Like Royalty in Transylvania for $200.

The Prince of Wales Guesthouse in Transylvania, Romania, owned by King Charles, offers commoners the chance to stay in one of seven rustic rooms for about $200 a night, meals included. The guesthouse is far from luxurious, but it offers a unique experience in a quiet corner of the world where time seems to have stopped. The profits from operations go to the Prince of Wales Foundation in Romania, which supports educational programming and skills training. The guesthouse is a nod to the king's heritage, as he is related to Countess Claudine Rhédey von Kis-Rhéde, who was born in Transylvania and is a great-great grandmother of Queen Elizabeth II.

Abandoned Japanese home becomes stunning guesthouse.

Japanese traveler Daisuke Kajiyama and his Israeli partner Hila transformed two abandoned homes in Tamatori, Japan, into a guesthouse after struggling to find a traditional Japanese house. Kajiyama used traditional materials and repurposed items to keep the house authentic. He also learned about bamboo farming to register the property as an agriculture guesthouse. The couple welcomed their first guests in 2014 and have been hosting travelers from all over the world ever since.
