1. I imagine it's a Cabin with bunks in it, or camping beds
2. It's a common sleeping quarters -- no separate rooms or partitions, everybody's bed is in a single room.
3. I use bunkhouses quite a lot - they vary in accommodation facilities greatly. They are usually largish rooms with several bunks - some two high, sometimes three high. Rooms accommodate 10 to 20 people, sometimes mixed. You must take your own sleeping bag. Any heating or electricity has to be paid for. Hot showers are a luxury. Most have a communal dining room so everyone has to "muck in". Individuals or groups can book them in advance or just turn up and hope. Rates are very cheap but again vary. Hope this helps.
