What is another word for boarding house?
Pronunciation: [bˈɔːdɪŋ hˈa͡ʊs] (IPA) 
A boarding house is essentially a place where people can stay for a short period of time and pay for accommodation. There are numerous synonyms for boarding house, some of which include a guest house, hostel, lodging house, rooming house, and bed and breakfast (B&B). These terms are essentially interchangeable, with the only difference being the level of service provided. Guest houses and B&Bs, for example, may offer breakfast as part of the overall stay, while a hostel or rooming house is more likely to be self-catering. However, regardless of the term used, each of these accommodations is an affordable option for people looking for short-term living arrangements.
