guesthouses
Modest traveler accommodations
Guesthouses are small lodging establishments, typically privately owned homes or buildings that offer overnight accommodations to travelers.
They tend to be smaller and more informal than hotels, often with fewer amenities but more personal service: We stayed at a charming guesthouse in the countryside.
In some contexts, a guesthouse is a separate building on a property for hosting visitors.
