"Vertical rate groups" is a set of listings at the same address that has a certain standard of structure and services, thus forming a category of listing.
In this case, the units are marketed as hotel rooms and not individually.
In the example above, extracted from Booking.com, Standard Double Room represents a set of listings and the guest only chooses the reservation category. It is up to the listing provider to define in which unit the guest will be allocated.
