agree  sylvie malich (X): accomodation directory. I've even seen it as pension directory

  -> Thanks, Syl. 'Pension' doesn't work in the UK, unless you're saving for retirement. Also, the term stated would probably include anything from hotels to 'flophouses' ;-)
agree  Armorel Young: sounds much the most natural to me - "host directory" sounds too much like a computing term :-)

  -> Thanks Armorel. I don't think we want to know about 'hosting services' when on holiday, right? :)
agree  Jonathan MacKerron: I'm with Armorel
