Accommodation. P1
There are two different types of accommodation.
- Serviced
- Non-Serviced
Serviced accommodation is used when a service is provided along with an overnight stay. Meals and housekeeping staff also are provided with the serviced accommodation. The most common type of accommodation that requires service would be hotels. For example, The Hilton Hotel is a hotel in Manchester and it is a serviced accommodation because they have trained housekeeping staff and chefs that clean and cook everything for you to make sure you have a relaxed and non stressful stay.
Also, when people book a serviced accommodation, there are 3 different options that are available. These are,
- Half board: This is when people go to a serviced accommodation and they get their breakfast and their evening meals within the package.
- Full board: This package included all your daily meals, breakfast, lunch and evening meals.
- All Inclusive: This package comes with all your daily meals, breakfast, lunch and evening meals and it also includes drinks.
A non-serviced accommodation is also known as self-catering accommodations. Self-catering accommodation comes in many different types such as camping, self catering youth hostels, self catering holiday centres and villages and all types of caravan accommodation. Over the years the people taking self-catering holidays has increased loads. Non serviced accommodation is better for families with young children because it is suitable for the family as they are able to go out and explore the different areas around without worrying about times to be back for their meals. An example of non-serviced accommodation would be camping. These could be campsites such as Haven holidays or campsites that are either abroad with different companys such as Keycamp or campsites around the UK such as Ty Mawr in Wales. These campsites are non-serviced because you have to do the cooking and all the cleaning yourself.
