Hotel, boat, flotel, chalet, B&B, apartments, hostels ... Many terms, let's define who is who)

A hotel - as a rule, this is the name for places of temporary residence in the city, and they differ in the level of service, the number of services provided, and can differ from a small room with one bed and a bathroom, to a full-fledged apartment. Whether or not they have a star rating, so a hotel is a very broad concept, and is divided, for example, into:

 The hotel - this is the name of the places that are located in the city center or city limits, offer a wide range of services and do not differ in high cost. They stop there either during a sightseeing tour (in particular a bus tour), or during short-term business trips. The standard classification also applies to them. The most popular type of hotel that can be easily booked online, even at the very last moment before departure, is usually 2-3 stars.

 Business hotels - In addition to what is in ordinary hotels, they have, for example, what is necessary for negotiating, arranging conferences, comfortable work "at a distance" from the office. Business hotels are most often located in places of business activity - large economic centers.

Resort hotels or resort hotels - (from the English resort - resort). On the territory of such hotels there is practically everything you need for recreation: fitness centers, tennis courts, spas, swimming pools, several restaurants and cafes. The disadvantages are usually the remoteness from cities, so it is difficult to get to know the country, its people and culture.

Boutique hotels are luxurious 5 * hotels that primarily care about style and design. The term "boutique hotel" appeared in the United States in the 1980s, when the first hotels of this level were opened in New York, San Francisco. Today boutique hotels can be found in Barcelona, ​​London and Paris. The cost of living in such hotels is very high, but they are located mostly in the very center of the city.

Apartments and apart-hotels - Apartments are apartments (less often - small houses, villas, half-houses with a separate entrance), which are rented to tourists from different countries for a long and not very long period. At the same time, it is important to understand that apartments and apart-hotels are a slightly different type of accommodation. The latter, as a rule, are located at hotels, or function on their own, but in terms of their type and range of services, they are similar to hotels. The essential difference between an apart-hotel and a simple one is the number of rooms in the rooms and the presence of a kitchen.

Bed and Breakfast (literally from the English. "Bed and breakfast") - budget hotels that first appeared in the UK. B&B is run by one family, and often do not have a "star" classification and even (for example, in England) the status of a hotel. At the same time, it is in the Bed and Breakfast that you can more than taste the traditional, homemade cuisine of the region, feel the homeliness and flavor of the country.

Ski hotels, chalets are both traditional hotel buildings and cozy two-three-storey log buildings with a sloping roof - chalets. These traditional alpine houses are today copied in many ski resorts, including the USA, Europe, Ukraine and Russia. Such hotels are located near slopes and lifts, sometimes skiing can be started right from the door.

Hostels are usually youth hostels where travelers who prefer to spend their vacation as economically as possible stay. The cheapest rooms in hostels, as a rule, are large rooms in which there are rows of double beds and bedside tables with locks (coded or miniature hinged). Up to 12-20 people stay in such rooms. The fewer beds, the more expensive the stay.

Inns or mini-hotels are one of the most popular types of accommodation in major cities. Mini-hotels have 6-20 rooms, a small kitchen and a reception. They are distinguished by a cozy atmosphere, silence, renovation and reasonable prices. The only drawback is the area of ​​the rooms (sometimes up to 10 square meters).

Motels are a roadside hotel, one or two storey buildings located along a major motorway. The entrance to the rooms, as a rule, is carried out from the street or directly from the parking place. The cost of an overnight stay in such establishments is low, as well as the level of security.

Guesthouses or guest houses - The term "guesthouse" appeared not so long ago and is now mostly applied to the countries of Southeast Asia. Guesthouses are budget Bed & Breakfast hotels for tourists who want to spend their holidays as economically as possible. For the most part, they are scattered around the main beach resorts in Asia - Bali, Goa, the islands of Thailand. Guesthouses are two or three storey buildings with 20-30 rooms, a homely atmosphere and a small number of staff. As a rule, in addition to tourists, the whole family of the owner of the hotel lives in the house. This type of accommodation is not subject to any classification and rarely complies with all the rules of sanitary and epidemiological standards. But tourists who come to the beaches of Goa for a month or two are not particularly upset by this fact.

Lodges (Lodge) - this is the main accommodation for safari in Africa (South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania). Such hotels are located either in the territory of national parks, or near them. Their distinctive feature is that outwardly they resemble the traditional dwellings of local residents, fit organically into the surrounding landscape, are built from environmentally friendly materials and at the same time meet all the rules of comfort and safety.
