Question:
Does a guest staying at someone else's home need to light Shabbat candles in the specific bedroom assigned to them?
Answer
No, because the room where you are staying is still considered connected to the rest of the house; for example, if a child forgets something there, they would feel free to enter and take it.
However, if the room is completely closed off and private specifically for the guest’s honor, then it is considered their own private domain. In that case, one would be required to light candles there. If candles are lit in the bedroom, one must ensure they remain burning until the guests return to the room after the Shabbat meal, so they can benefit from the light.
