Hotels/boarding houses/youth hostels

Hotel: an establishment providing overnight accommodation that can be
booked per night and which may provide meals, snacks and beverages
to guests and non-guests. A guest is a person staying in the hotel
overnight, a non-guest is someone who is not staying in the hotel.
Boarding house: an establishment providing mainly overnight
accommodation that cannot be booked per night, and which may
provide meals, snacks and beverages to guests but not to non-guests.
The essential difference between a hotel and a boarding house is
that a hotel does provide food and drink for non-guests, while a boarding
house does not.
Youth accommodation comprises youth hotels and hostels (with mainly
young guests) and accommodation for groups at farms, camps, large
holiday homes, children's holiday homes, nature camps, stables and
sailing/outdoor adventure organisations.
Apartments with hotel services belong to the category hotels, boarding
houses and youth accommodation, and the establishment itself
determines whether it is hotel or a boarding house.
