Morphology
The meaning 'a building providing lodging' follows directly from combining 'accommodation' (lodging/housing) with 'house' (a building), so the sense is compositionally predictable. This noun–noun compound mirrors common patterns in English and other languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the overall meaning.
Etymology
Accommodation house comes from the simple idea of a house that offers accommodation — it 'makes room' for guests. So today accommodation house means a building that gives 'temporary lodging' to travelers or visitors.
