Is the expiation for residing in and consuming water and electricity at a government rest house without right to be done by donating money equivalent to the value of the consumption and lodging? And must it be given to government agencies or public benefit organizations, or can it be given to the poor and needy, or donated for the construction of mosques if that is not possible?

If the rest houses are designated for employees only, without their families, then you have erred in your stay there. You must pay the value of the electricity, water, and accommodation you used. This money can be spent on public welfare, such as building mosques, schools, hospitals, and care homes, or given to the poor and needy.
