Room and board
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Room and board describes a situation where, in exchange for money, labor or other considerations, a person is provided with a place to live as well as meals ("board") on a comprehensive basis.
Two commonly encountered boards are:
- Half Board, where the host only provides a breakfast and dinner meal
- Full Board, where the host provides all three daily meals
