Categories of objects
Objects are classified into the following categories:
- Bike&Bed - smaller private facilities such as apartments or holiday houses or agrotourisms (with the possibility of accommodation). This group of objects has access to all quality levels. This is also the most numerous group that facilitates one of the basic ideas of the Bike&Bed system: the travel of guests from day to day, with an overnight stay every night in a different place - in a different facility.
- Boutique Bike hotels - small so-called family hotels. They offer an excellent combination of a personalized approach to guests and a higher quality of service, making them an excellent choice for guests of different profiles. Many of their guests return for years after their first stay, which confirms the good ratio between service and price.
- Bike hotels - hotels with larger accommodation capacities and a whole range of services they provide to their guests. Due to the already existing personnel and infrastructure capacity, a higher ranking of quality and scope of services is required from such facilities.
