Accommodation in Everest Base Camp trek is mostly in teahouses located along the route. Actually, they are small lodges owned and managed by local Sherpas. Moreover rooms usually have basic beds, blankets, and sometimes a heater. However, rooms are cold at higher altitudes due to thin walls. For example, in Namche Bazaar at 3,440 meters, teahouses are good and well-decorated. But the higher you go, like in Dingboche at 4,410 meters, facilities are basic. Also, in Gorak Shep (5,164 meters), the teahouses are very basic due to harsh conditions. Once more, Everest Base Camp at 5,364 meters has only short-term tent facilities. Actually, there are no permanent teahouses at EBC. Even the tents are for those who are preparing for Everest Expedition. Therefore, trekkers doing Everest Base Camp Trek cannot stay overnight at Everest Base Camp Trek. So, you can have lesser amenities going higher. Also, some lodges have shared bathrooms, which could be cold and have limited water. In short, accommodation is based on altitude and inaccessibility.
