Gratuitous bailee is one who makes no charge and is therefore bound to take
the same care of the property entrusted to him/her as a reasonably prudent and careful man may fairly be expected to take care of his own property of the like description. This type of bailee is only liable for gross negligence However A bailee for reward is one who makes a specific charge.

Bailee for reward is liable for ordinary negligence.
