Ganesha Homestay — Homestay accommodation | ganeshahomestay.com
Booking forms speak in two alphabets — S/D/T/TR/F for beds and EP/CP/MAP/HP/AI for meals. Each decodes in one table.
Room codes count beds, not rooms. S is a single with 1 bed. D is a double: 1 bed for 2 people. T is a twin with 2 beds. TR is a triple with 3 beds. F is a family room with 2-4 beds. The letter is a bed inventory, nothing more.
Widths sit behind the words. A single bed is 90-100 cm; a double is 140 cm; a queen is 160 cm; a king is 180 cm. Two adults in a D room share 140 cm — if that is not the plan, the correct code is T.
Meal codes count meals. EP is room only. CP adds breakfast, served 07:00-10:00. MAP is breakfast plus one other meal. HP is breakfast and dinner. AI is all meals included. The codes travel across hotels, guesthouses and homestays unchanged.
On narrow screens, swipe or scroll the plate sideways.
The Japanese minshuku shows the codes in practice: the rate includes two meals — dinner and breakfast, the HP pattern — and rooms are measured in tatami mats of 90 x 180 cm, about 1.62 m². A 6-8 mat room is roughly 9.7-13 m².
Read the codes as a pair. D/HP means one 140 cm bed with breakfast and dinner. T/EP means two beds and no meals. F/CP means two to four beds with a 07:00-10:00 breakfast. The pair describes the stay more precisely than any photo caption.
Use the codes inside the six-step routine in How to Book a Homestay Step by Step, and the four lodging types they apply to in Homestay vs Hotel: What Actually Differs.
