Air BnB CF?

180 replies

Jbrown76 · 24/02/2024 17:52

Air BnB (sleeps 10) has been booked for £600, and has asked for £120 towards the cost as there are 5 adults who agreed to the price and number of people going (600 divided by 5 is 120).

The organiser has then invited his 2 adult children without asking anyone. The adult children both work full time, and they aren't being asked to pay or contribute their fair share.

£600 divided by 7 (7 adults including the 2 additional host children is £85.71).

The host is still asking for £120, so the remaining 5 adults are expected to cover the contribution of the organiser's children.

Is the host being a CF?

Who's to know the organiser hadn't planned it this way all along?

What's the reason they were invited along? Is it because there were bedrooms spare? Will there be any spare bedrooms left after these young adults come along? If so, decide between you and the non-CF guests who can come and use it for free. Don't ask the organiser. Just announce that your sister and her husband are coming to use the last bedroom seeing as it's going spare.

Yes if the ones who haven't yet paid give some money to those who have 'to make it easier' and just forward the lower level to CF. So the two who haven't yet paid forward £52 each to CF and £34 to the two who have paid.

It would very much depend on what the occasion was and the relationship with all concerned.

With regards to accommodation, that's a fixed price, so the inclusion of his two adult children isn't costing you any more.

But what is happening regarding catering? This is what I would be questioning. Is the host and/or his children going to cover their bill or is he going to split food costs 5 ways, not 7.

I could live with the accommodation issue, but I would be digging my heels in if I was being expected to pay extra to cover their share of food or other expenses.

Them being prickly is what helps them get away with it! Be prickly back. Why should you pay over £30 per adult to subsidise their kids??

Only 5 adults were originally going, then the organiser included his 2 adult children (no others are going)

Ok, so it does seem odd to stick to £120.

You haven’t explained the sleeping / room arrangements? Do you all have your own room? Presumably the adult children coming hasn’t meant sleeping arrangements have changed ?

And how old are they? Big difference between an 18 year old and 30 year old.

FlickFlackTrap · 24/02/2024 18:11

If the organiser is refusing to budge the 2 who have paid should ask for their ,only back and the others refuse to pay. He’s changed the original agreement.

CatamaranViper · 24/02/2024 18:11

I mean, I do agree with you but how many bedrooms are there?

The adult children are 21+

And we're not sure how they will react, as they have previously been quite prickly 😯

So you pay the correct portion not 120. Simple.

How old are these 'adults' - if they are teenagers/under 21. I'd pay, wouldn't bother me, but appreciate not everyone will feel the same. My friend's kids will always be their kids (until they have moved out , have their own homes etc) and I'm inclined to treat them that way.

Probably not how most people think, I admit.

So was it originally 5 adults and no-one else ? And now it’s 7?

Or was it 5 adults plus some children and now he’s invited his adult children ?

What’s the room situation ?

What's the occasion/context? Friends/family?

2 of the 5 adults have already paid their £120 contribution after being asked specifically for £120 , then the organiser said their 2 adult children were coming...when we asked the host, they confirmed their 2 adult children were invited and that there would be no more paying persons...aka their children are not paying and amount is still £120

How many people are going all together ?? Are other people bringing their children how old are the adult children ?? There is a difference of other couples bringing their 16 year olds and his 18 year old coming and no other kids and his are in there 30’s

Puzzledandpissedoff · 24/02/2024 18:01

I'd just transfer the £87.50 instead of £120 and if they comment, say that as there's now 7 people going, then that makes it cheaper

Perfect

FriendlyNeighbourhoodAccountant · 24/02/2024 18:01

So just send a message saying "now that there are 7 adults it looks like it's £85.70 each, right?"

MsPavlichenko · 24/02/2024 18:00

If it is by room only that’s fair enough I think. If he wants four adults in a room let him go ahead ( weird though). All other costs for food/booze etc should be a seven way split.

Jbrown76 · 24/02/2024 17:56

No adult children are not sharing room with their parent and we are still being asked for £120 and that there are no other paying persons ?!

So how many rooms are there??

After all, that's 2 extra people to fight for the bathroom(s)!
