Which type of accommodation provides meals and room cleaning as part of the price?

1. Non-serviced accommodation

2. Serviced accommodation

3. All-inclusive accommodation

4. Hostel accommodation

The correct answer is: Serviced accommodation

Serviced accommodation is characterized by the inclusion of various services, such as meals and room cleaning, as part of the overall price. This option typically caters to guests seeking convenience and comfort, as they don't need to manage daily chores like cooking or cleaning. This can be found in hotels or guesthouses that provide daily breakfast or full meal services in addition to housekeeping. In contrast, non-serviced accommodation lacks these amenities, usually providing just a place to stay without additional services. All-inclusive accommodation often includes meals and various other amenities, but the term is generally more specific to packages that cover all aspects of a guest's stay, including activities and drinks, rather than just room cleaning and meals. On the other hand, hostels typically offer a more budget-friendly option with shared facilities and limited meals, focusing primarily on providing beds rather than full services.
