Of course they are. Are you paying the host to stay in a room they own? Hotel.
- Karunamon 9y agoWhich isn't what most people think of when they hear "hotel".
- enraged_camel 9y agoReally? What do "most people" think when they hear "hotel"? edit: for all you down voters, he is the dictionary definition of the word "hotel": "an establishment providing accommodations, meals, and other services for travelers and tourists." Which means every "Airbed and Breakfast" is a hotel.
- DINKDINK 9y agoMost Airbnbs I've stayed at do not offer meals. In my local jurisdiction, all hotels must provide meals like your definition lays out. By that fact an Airbnb would /not/ qualify as a hotel legally
- dragonwriter 9y agoIf providing a meal is part of the definition that makes something a hotel, that's true; the way you state it is a requirement that hotels must comply with, though, which would mean AirBnB might qualify as a hotel, but also be in violation of the requirement. Theres lots of places where AirBnB (or hosts on the platform) meets the definition of a hotel and simultaneously often fail to meet the legal obligations of a hotel.
