house guests
People staying over
House guests are people staying temporarily in someone's home, typically for a visit of days or weeks rather than hours.
The term implies social obligation—hosts provide lodging and hospitality, while guests are expected to be considerate: Fish and house guests stink after three days.
Also spelled as one word: houseguests.
