The latter of these looks to be a 'private' guest house .. so the 
parking may be for guests?

An area tagged as amenity=parking with access=private is rendered 
differently to amenity=parking on the standard map ...

See https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/10271157994

This particular area is gated and usually locked, I assume it is for 
'officials' and 'catering' people. The area is unpaved and has no 
markings .. so difficult to map as an area.


We do map 'private' houses... while I won't be mapping personal parking 
if someone wants to then??? People map all sorts of 'private' things ... 
gardens and tennis courts for instance.
