1. TYPES OF
ACCOMMODATION
BY TURKISH TEAM

2.  There are some certain types of
accommodation. Have a look over them
and then choose the best
accommodation type for yourself. Write
your ideas to the padlet.

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

4.  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

5.  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 (which usually boasts a variety of
Japanese porn channels). Note that most capsule
hotels are segregated by gender, while many, if not
most, don't accept female guests at all.

6.  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.
Many market themselves as providing a "quiet escape". There
are many associations and websites that offer help finding a
Bed and Breakfast in your travel area.

7.  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.

8. 
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

9.  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.

10.  Villas: When planning your holidays you have to take into
consideration not only the location, but also the best
accommodation that will provide you and your party with
value for money according to your requirements

11.  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.

12.  House Sitting. While travelling many people use house sitting as
a form of accommodation. It is free accommodation while you
get to live in the comfort of a house. This helps keep the costs
of travelling lower than other traditional accommodation
types. House sitting involves an agreement between the house
sitter and the home owner that the house sitter will occupy a
house while the home owner is away.
