I made a proposal for tourism=apartment[1] so we have a place to refine the meaning of this tag. I think the difference between apartment and guest_house is not very clear, but I guess apartments are a bit bigger, often have kitchens, and there are less of them in an apartment house then there are rooms in a guest house. Guest_houses are a bit more like hotels.
Another reason is that people already use tourism=apartment, because it's obviously a more natural word for people in several countries. Maybe a better way to describe them is with a subtag, tourism=guest_house + guest_house=apartment. [1]http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_Features/Apartment
