Guestrooms are also known as lodgings, accommodations, quarters, chambers, living quarters or bedrooms. These synonyms can come in handy when looking for alternative ways to describe arrangements for visitors. Lodgings is a more general term that refers to any place where someone can stay overnight, it includes hostels, hotels and places for rent. Accommodations, on the other hand, usually refers to spaces that have been specifically designed for temporary stays, like guestrooms. Quarters and chambers are terms that are often associated with official or formal settings. Bedrooms and living quarters are more personal, and imply a home-like setting where guests can relax and feel at ease.
