Hotel
The hotel has minimum ten rooms. Majority

of the rooms must be single or double. The
hotels should provide a wide variety of
services related to the stay of the guests,
including catering service.
Boutique hotel
Elegant, luxurious facilities, often located in

historic buildings. They provide hotel services
at the top-notch level, often with 5-star
hotels standards. Usually, they are small,
intimate, with a unique design, often
historical.
Motel
Hotel located by the road. Such

facilities must offer parking spaces.
The motel must have minimum ten
rooms, with mainly single and double
rooms. It should also provide catering
services. Motels are located mostly on
the outskirts and by the major
motorways.
Camping
Guarded facilities, where guests can stay in

the tents, cars or caravans. On the campsite,
guests may prepare the meals and park the
cars. Some facilities offer guests the option of
sleeping in the bungalows (camping houses).
Camping field
The accommodation facility offering stays in

the tents, but unlike the camping sites, they
are not guarded.
Tourist house
Accommodation establishment
providing basic services range related
to the guests’ stay. They can
accommodate minimum 30 people.
Youth hostel
Accommodation facilities offering stay for

youth.
Hostel
The hostel is cheaper and offers lower

standard than a hotel. Its main feature is the
offer of the multi-person rooms (from three
to nine beds or even more), usually with the
shared bathroom in the hall. Guests may also
use the shared kitchen, where they can
prepare the meals or they can spend the
time in the TV room. Nowadays many hostels
offer single and double rooms, sometimes
with a private bathroom. These rooms are
much more expensive than these multi-
person ones. They are supposed to resemble
youth hostels, but unlike them, they are
always private property and do not have such
strict rules.
Bungalow
Small holiday houses, usually wooden, with a

roof covered with palm leaves in exotic
countries. Bungalows are often located next
to the beach, and they have a porch with a
sea-view.
Agrotourism
Farms offering stay for tourists. There are

mainly family-run companies, giving guests a
chance to spend time in the countryside in an
active way, often this kind of leisure is related
to, for example, field work.
