HOTEL
• Hotels provide private serviced rooms for
guests. They range from very basic
budget-style to extremely luxurious
accommodation.

HOSTEL
• Hostels (often referred to as "youth hostels" or
"backpackers") are a loosely- defined form of
guesthouse, generally low-budget compared to
other places to sleep. Although often used by
youth there is usually no upper age limit.

CAPSULE HOTELS
• Capsule hotels are a cheap form of
accommodation in Japan, usually
more or less on par with a dorm bed
in a hostel, in terms of pricing. The
"rooms" are little more than small
one-person capsules with only a
mattress, radio, and TV.
• Note that most capsule hotels are
segregated by gender, while many, if
not most, don't accept female
guests at all.

BED AND BREAKFASTS (B&BS) AND GUESTHOUSES
• Bed and Breakfasts (B&Bs) and
Guesthouses provide hotel style
rooms. However, they are typically
smaller residences and you will
interact with your hosts and other
guests, often eating together and
sharing common spaces. Bed and
Breakfasts and Guesthouses are
found both inside and out of major
centers. There are many
associations and websites that offer
help finding a Bed and Breakfast in
your travel area.

MOTELS
• Motels Rooms usually open out to a
parking lot. As the name implies it
caters mostly to motorists.

HOME STAY
• A hospitality exchange or home stay network is an
organization that connects travellers with local
residents in the cities they're visiting. If travellers
can connect with the right people at the right time,
they can get room and sometimes board in the
place they're visiting for free or at a deep discount.
Network size goes from a few thousands to a
hundred thousands, and most networks are
growing steadily.

SERVICED APARTMENTS
• Serviced apartments offer the comfort, privacy
and flexibility of a self-catering property,
combined with a city centre location and often
with the added benefits of many hotel-type
services – such as maid service, room service
and reception.

HOLIDAY VILLAGES/ RESORTS.
• Holiday villages/ resorts. With pools, sports centres,
horse riding, evening entertainment, and many other
activities you can’t help but have fun. Many also have a
‘Kids Club’, so Mum and Dad can relax a little more during
their stay. From the more traditional holiday camps, to
the modern climate-controlled sites, they are a great way
of combining accommodation with on-site leisure
facilities and entertainment.

CAR CAMPING, CARAVANNING, RV CAMPING
• Car camping, Caravanning, RV
camping... it goes by many names,
and the experience varies widely,
but this form of camping involves
carrying your equipment in your
motor vehicle, which you drive right
to your campsite. Unlike more
traditional camping, car camping
allows you to carry quite a bit more
equipment, and the focus is usually
to enjoy the site, cook-outs, day
hikes, and other outdoor activities

CAMPING
• Camping is do-it-yourself accommodation: you
carry your roof and your bedding in your
backpack or your car. It's often the only choice
of accommodation you have when you're
travelling off the beaten track, but there are also
very popular sites for camping holidays.

VACATION RENTALS
• Vacation rentals. Many residents of popular
tourist destinations lease their houses and
apartments to vacationers. The residence may
have been bought specifically for this purpose
or the normal occupants may vacate it during
some parts of the year.

EXOTIC HOTELS
