...cottage, I expect to be able to use both bedrooms?

Could you take your own bedding?

It's a bit late to cancel really, it's a popular holiday destination, I wanted to stay in a specific town and the weather is lovely this weekend.

I was just a bit aghast at the extra cost.

If they're charging for the property rather than per person (so that a booking for two costs the same as a booking for three), then charging extra for using both rooms makes no sense whatsoever. If you're sure this is what's happened here, then cancel, stating why and expecting a full refund. And leave a factual review stating what took place.

Oops sorry posted too soon - DH snores which is why we have two bedrooms so we can sleep separately.

Have had a message off air bnb host this morning with details of our weekend away saying the double bed would be made up. I replied saying I wanted both rooms and she's wanting to charge me an extra £40. I'm already paying more than I would for a bloody one bedroomed place.

Yeah, I booked a two bed for me and DH, and got told only one bed would be made up, and I’d have to pay for the extra bed.🤷‍♀️

I got round all this, with lodges etc, afterwards, by putting DD on guest list, even though she wasn’t with us.🙄

YANBU the host is a CF.

Was it in the original booking info? If not then, yes it's unreasonable.

VickyEadieofThigh · 08/05/2024 17:35

We usually book cottages (never via Air bnb) with at least 2 bedrooms, largely because I suffer chronic insomnia and often need to decamp. The beds in the bedrooms have always been made up.

The owner is a CF.

YANBU, thats ridiculous!!

LakieLady · 08/05/2024 17:32

YANBU, the owner is a cheeky fucker.

GrannyAchingsShepherdsHut · 08/05/2024 17:30

YANBU.

Weird of the host to assume 2 people are a couple - not that couples have to share anyway, obviously - but you could be friends or relations for all they know.

InSpainTheRain · 08/05/2024 17:28

Of course you should be able to use both bedrooms without an additional charge. That's ridiculous!

LaurieFairyCake · 08/05/2024 17:27

Cancel

Book somewhere else, that's ridiculous !
