Its a group holiday one...

It wouldn't occur to me that people should pay differently depending on the room set up if im honest, splitting evenly would be fine

Id be annoyed about the 'baggsying' and suggest drawing lots or something to determine who slept where if some rooms are more desirable

All paying the same wouldn't bother me.

Sounds like the holiday from hell

What’s the actual cost of each room? Shouldn’t each person pay for the appropriate proportion of the room they’re actually staying in ?

I'd probably feel the same. If the rooms really are different sizes and everyone has an equal chance of ending up in any of them, splitting the cost by room seems like the fairest approach. Paying the same for sharing with one person as someone sharing with three doesn't feel particularly balanced to me. That said, if everyone else has already agreed, I'd only bring it up if you're happy to accept that they may still stick with the original plan. It doesn't seem unreasonable to ask the question politely though.

So many threads are going to drop out of this horror show of a holiday from various attendees (and probably fellow holiday makers appalled at their behaviour!!)

Single bed in the room for 3 would be by far my preference.

If you did t discuss this at the planning stage but really still want to go, I think you need to suck it up and get on with it. It could be a great holiday but it won’t be if it’s tainted with moaning. It’s so hard to organise these things to keep everyone happy cost wise and with every detail - I think I’d just be grateful someone else has that burden and try to make it easier for her by not complaining. It’s only a night or two and you’ve learnt something which is to state what you can and can’t tolerate before the booking is done.

I think these things need to be discussed at the planning stage. Reading these posts I often feel sorry for the person who gets stuck being the organiser. It always sounds like a group want to go away but only one person is willing to make the arrangements.
At the start when discussing the group trip you should have said can we make sure there are private rooms, I don't want to share. Or if you are happy to share you could have said can we book somewhere with twin beds. Even not all premier inns do proper twin rooms (I went with my mum and let her have the double while I took the single) so I imagine when trying to book for so many people it's hard to tick all boxes.

You should have said something before the booking. Honestly I thought you were going to complain you were in the two person room not with the group rooms. I don’t see by yours would be cheaper and think the organiser didn’t know what she was in for. If I was off with mates I wouldn’t care less - it could be a laugh. If it turns out to be a nightmare then you make a separate arrangement next time…

I agree with this, I recently went away for a friend's big birthday and we did get our own room each but I objectively had one of the worse rooms along with another woman as it was bunk beds, tiny and on the ground floor, everyone else was on the upper floors. However, it did have a great view and essentially I got a massive bathroom to myself as there was one on the ground floor plus could get water etc. From the kitchen without disturbing anyone. I think I was slow off the mark and it was my fault as I didn't bag of the the big rooms quickly enough. I think the organiser has to have a choice and the birthday person. It is very difficult to organise when lots of people and so I think you have to accept it is what it is.

I could handle the room sharing but not the beds, bollocks to that.

This.

Don't have any part of this. If you really want to go, book your own room and meet up with them there.

Let me guess. The organiser is in the room of 3 and the only one of the group in her own bed?

I'd opt out of this bollocks and organise my own room.

Yeah definitely! Sure my OH's sisters went on holiday together just a few weeks ago, just the two of them I might add & THEY even booked separate rooms & I know I'd be the same now

How many bathrooms and how will they be split?

sharing a room would be a no from me for anything. I’m too old for that now. In my younger days, a cheap holiday and sharing was generally fun.

Absolutely this! God knows in my 20's I've shared hotel rooms, beds even with my friends when we've had too but this is just hell on earth & the pp on pg1 (apologies I can't remember your name!) who came up with the very accurate scenarios, getting ready, showering, hair drying etc not to mention during the night wees, lights on & maybe the fan, snoring....you'll end up murdering each other!

I couldn't do it @Cornwall776 but all the best if you do & I hope you come back & let us all know how it goes!

I’d be fine with this. I go away with friends all the time and share beds. You’re asleep when you’re in it so it doesn’t really make any difference. And I’m 45 so not young. I don’t think there should be a discount because all the bed situations are th same. If someone had their own room that would be different.

Depends how well I know the others. With my four old mates from school I'd happily share a bed and split cost. With someone I barely know I wouldn't want to share even a twin room let alone the same bed.

Though the bed sharing is generally just overnight, for a longer holiday twin beds at least even with close friends, and definitely separate rooms with anyone else!

Yeah I wouldn’t want to share doubles.

If you are happy with that, I don’t understand why you wouldn’t just pay actual cost instead of splitting the total. For example one room is £100 per night, that is split between the two people sharing it. Another room is £150 per night, that is split between the four people sharing it. If it’s booked through a website or app, they usually show you the price per room even if it is all one group booking.

For me it depends on how close you all are.

With really close friends, I'd much rather a room of 4.

When I was younger and went away with friends we had a similar situation a few times, and the larger rooms ended up becoming the places where people gathered/met/hang out etc. And being in the smaller rooms could get a bit isolated - it kind of felt like you were missing the party. The bigger rooms seemed to have more fun.

That being said - to make it fair, it should be random/lots drawn, not something people can choose.

One night away I'd probably just go with it but anything longer I wouldn't be happy and probably just withdraw or book my own room. Even with 4 of my own close family, I'd see 4 in a room sharing one bathroom a nightmare plus the lack of physical space for people, clothes, shoes and bits & bobs just not worth it and wouldn't be a holiday. There will be fall outs for sure

This holiday will be a nightmare, I guarantee

Everyone is sharing a double bar one person so i’d just keep cost fair. But at my age now (50) I wouldn’t go on a holiday where I had to share a bed.
