- For those planning a vacation who are concerned about hotel and motel costs, staying in a monastery can save a significant amount of money. Most monasteries don't charge much more than hostels.
- Female travelers taking a trip alone who are interested in a quiet, safe environment can feel secure that most monasteries will allow them to stay as paying guests.
- Growing vegetables and fruits is a pastime that nuns and monks excel at, and travelers who choose to stay at a monastery dorm can expect meals that are uncomplicated and fresh from the monasteries that serve them.
- Expectations of modern conveniences such as high speed Internet, cable television, and room service will end in disappointment. Simplicity is the commandment when it comes to monastery dorm rooms.
- Sleeping in a bed designed for one person is part of the experience, and many monasteries expect their guests to be in by a certain time.
