I think the better practice is separate it into two TextView wrapped inside an Layout.

Because the texts "Check-in Date" and "Check-out Date" is always static. So use separate TextView will reduce String concatenate (Eg: textView.setText("Check-in Date \n" + checkInDate);), and make the source easier to read and extend.

If you still want to highlight part of text in TextView, there is already an answered question here: Android - Highlight a Word In a TextView?. This is all about SpannableString.

You should either use two textviews or you can use 

Textview tvcheckIn = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.checkIn);
tvcheckIn.setText( Html.fromHtml("First Line<br><b>Second Line"));
