Teoria:
In order to speak about accommodation, you need to know the appropriate vocabulary.
There are different types of accommodation where people can stay at.
Name | Definition | Picture | Example |
hotel | short time accommodation | I need to reserve a room in a hotel for 2 days. | |
resort | accommodation providing also recreational facilities, such as swimming pool, spa, etc. | I believe I should stay at the resort in Hawaii to enjoy the sun and the nice weather there. | |
bed & breakfast | accommodation providing room and breakfast. | We only need to stay somewhere overnight and have a little breakfast- therefore we choose a Bed & Breakfast hotel. | |
motel | a hotel for people who are travelling by car | There is a motel! Let's stay there and park our car close to the room! | |
campsite | outdoor accommodation, usually in tents. | I prefer staying overnight at the campsite and enjoying the nature rather than sleeping in a hotel room with no air. | |
lodge | outdoor accommodation, usually made from logs and wood. | It is so nice to rent a lodge for the whole summer, which has all the comfortable facilities and is in the nature! | |
hostel | accommodation where rooms and bathrooms are usually shared with others | Hostels are great for students who want to get a cheap and fair accommodation. | |
yurt | a type of round tent with a wooden frame, used traditionally as a home by some Central Asian people, and now sometimes used for camping in Western countries | Sarah went to the US and stayed in a yurt last week! It sounds so crazy to sleep while being in the wild! | |
ice hotel | accommodation similar to a big igloo, built from big ice blocks. | I would never stay at an ice hotel, because it must be so cold! | |
capsule hotel | popular in Japan, where people stay when they miss the train. | We do not have capsule hotels in Europe! I would definitely use them! | |
cave hotel | accommodation in a cave. | Last summer John went to Greece, there were cave hotels! |
