English term or phrase: berth

Two examples below. I would like to know if "berth" here is a beliche or just a bed.

FIRST EXAMPLE:
SEGUNDA CLASSE SUPERIOR
Tren 00475 - Reserva incluida
4 x T4 Tourist Family
Accommodation: 4-berths compartment with air-conditioninging, a wash basin and spacious luggage rack. Complimentary bottle of water and newspapers.
Purchase Conditions: Three or four passengers traveling together.

SECOND EXAMPLE:
PRIMEIRA CLASSE SUPERIOR
Tren 00475 - Reserva incluida
4 x Double Preferente Mini
Accommodation: 2-berths sleeper compartment with air-conditioning, spacious luggage rack and a wash basin. Breakfast included. Complimentary bottle of water and newspapers.
Purchase Conditions: 14 days advance purchase - 2 pax min for the doubles

These descriptions appear in the same filter, selected for a couple with two kids. But it seems that the SECOND EXAMPLE has only two beds...

beliche

Explanation:
I think in this context "berth" is "beliche" since the term is used in trains or ships.
berth-A built-in bed or bunk, as on a ship or a train.
I think you should have given more context. If the text talks about a train or a ship.
