Backpackers
The Backpackers category includes budget "shared" accommodation in a hostel, lodge, or "hotel" where the emphasis is on the active travelling experience, facilitating cultural and social interaction for like-minded guests.
Most offer a mixture of dormitories, double, twin and single rooms. Some rooms may include linen; otherwise this can be hired. Some rooms may also have TVs, fridges, tea and coffee and storage facilities.
Facilities such as kitchens, bathrooms, lounges and laundries are usually shared, although private and ensuite bathrooms are sometimes available. Properties range from small converted houses to large hotel-like establishments.
