Room Types
What configuration do each of the room types represent?
(hotel / resort) Rooms
Single Room
A room with 1 bed designed for 1 person.
Double Room
A room designed for 2 people that share the same 1 bed.
Twin Room
A room designed for 2 people who each have their own beds (2 beds). The beds are typically single beds athough 2 x king sized beds are not unusual in a double room for upmarket lodgings.
Family Room
Usually the room that sleeps the most people. A room designed for at least 2 adults and 1 child. So there will be at least 2 beds, a double and a single typically. 3 single beds are typically alled 'triple rooms'.

Studio Apartment
An apartment without a bedroom. Usually, a large room containing a bed, kitchen, desks & chair. Ensuite bathrooms tend to be the only extra room in a Studio.
1 Bedroom Apartment
An apartment with 1 separate bedroom. This bedroom usually contains at least a double bed.
2+ Bedroom Apartment
An apartment with 2, or more separate bedrooms. The bedrooms usually each contain at least a double bed.
Apartment Other
We use this room type as a flexible apartment to differentiate from other Room Types that have been used already.
Dorms
Dormitories are common in hostels and some coliving spaces. They are typically rooms of single beds shared between people that have booked independently from each other and generally don't know each other.
Mixed Dorms
Mixed dorms have beds suitable for anyone.
Male Dorms
Male dorms have beds for people that identify or express as males only.
Care should be taken when describing these rooms as the definitions of 'male' and 'female' varies between countries & cultures around the world and can be confusing for some people.
Female Dorms
Male dorms have beds for people that identify or express as females only.
Care should be taken when describing these rooms as the definitions of 'male' and 'female' varies between countries & cultures around the world and can be confusing for some people.
