How changing guest expectations are reshaping accommodation types

Blogs

The leisure market has clearly shifted in recent years. Where price and location once dominated, guests now prioritise comfort, convenience, ambience and a seamless overall experience. They expect more than “a bed in a nice setting”: clear information, flexible arrival/departure options and amenities that make the stay effortless. This is especially true for holiday parks and campsites, where experience and service increasingly drive both the booking decision and the review afterwards.

At the same time, different audiences make different choices. Families look for facilities like pools, play areas and restaurants; couples seek tranquillity and a charming, smaller-scale or boutique atmosphere; and guests who favour luxury expect wellness and added services. On campsites and glamping sites, the growth of comfortable tents and chalets with private bathrooms is attracting a wider audience and lengthening the season. This article outlines what guests expect today by accommodation type, and which product choices help you meet those expectations.

Holiday parks: where experience meets comfort

Holiday parks remain a mainstay. Guests particularly value modern accommodation, strong facilities and clear communication. There is also growing demand for flexible arrival and departure instead of fixed changeover days.

✔ What do guests expect?
• Comfortable, modern accommodation – from standard to premium, including child‑friendly and pet‑friendly options
• Facilities for all ages (swimming pools, indoor play zones, food & beverage)
• Clear information and flexible services (e.g., self‑service, easy rebooking)

Campsites: the charm of the outdoors with rising comfort needs

Camping is still about outdoor living, but expectations have evolved. Guests increasingly assess campsites on hygiene, sanitary quality, comfort and clarity of information. Improved facilities, more motorhomes and comfortable chalets are also extending the season.

✔ What do camping guests expect?
• A natural setting and relaxed atmosphere
• Reliable essentials: clean sanitary blocks, good Wi‑Fi

Glamping: luxury, ambience and nature combined

Glamping appeals to guests who want to enjoy nature without giving up comfort. Safari tents and lodges often feature full kitchens, high‑quality beds and private bathrooms. This makes glamping attractive to families and couples who want that extra touch.

✔ What do glamping guests expect?
• A stylish, high‑quality interior
• Comfort: good beds, private bathroom, thoughtful details
• Access to park facilities (F&B, pool) if the glamping site is part of a larger park
