bathroom is a room that may have different functions depending on the cultural context. In the most literal sense, the word bathroom means "a room with a bath". Because the traditional bathtubs have partly made way for modern showers, including steam showers, the more general definition is "a room where one bathes". There can be just a shower, just a bathtub or both; and often both plumbing fixtures are combined in the bathtub. The room may also contain a sink, often called a "wash basin", "hand basin" or "lavatory" (USA), and often a toilet fixture.
In the United States, "bathroom" commonly means
"a room containing a toilet". In other countries this is usually called
the "toilet" or alternatively "water closet" (WC), lavatory
or "loo". In America they are categorized as a "full bathroom",
containing four plumbing fixtures: bathtub, shower, toilet, and sink; "half
(1/2) bath" (or "powder room") containing just a toilet and sink;
and "3/4 bath" containing toilet, sink, and shower. The word is also
used in the U.S. for a public toilet.
Travelers often get confused regarding different types of bathroom when booking rooms in hotels and bed and breakfast accommodation. Some common questions relate to en-suite, "private" and "shared" bathrooms (sometimes called "facilities"). Both en-suite and private bathrooms are for the exclusive use of the occupants of a particular bedroom. However, an en-suite bathroom is accessed from within the bedroom, whereas a private bathroom is accessed from outside the bedroom but is normally adjacent or near to the bedroom. A shared bathroom is a bathroom outside of any bedroom that is shared between guests staying in two or more separate bedrooms. Although the word bathroom may be used this can refer to a room with a shower rather than a bath. The bathroom would also normally include a toilet as well as washing facilities.
