Your teacher isn't asking for a complete list. He/She wants to know how many you can think of, and how you can explain the differences between them.
Starting with your examples, how would you describe the differences between a house, a flat and an apartment? What kind of accommodation do you live in?
1
Hotel, motel, bed and breakfast, guest house, back packers' hostel, caravan park, camper van.

Accommodation is not the first word that comes to mind when think of a living space. Housing and dwelling type surely rank higher. A person could live in a hut, a cabin, a shanty, a tent, a lean to, a lodge, to say nothing of a motel, hotel, officetel, or loft. House, mansion, and castle are good places to live while barracks, holding cells, and prisons are less desireable. An apartment/flat, duplex, quadraplex, condo, townhouse, or high rise have common or shared walls. More unusual homes are tree houses and yurts.
