Is it me or is this ridiculously unreasonable?

A friend is organising a trip for his 50th birthday. It's to an event related to a hobby we share in a European city he has family links to.

In the original group, there is me, 2 couples, another male friend and the birthday boy. We've been away as this group before and it's always been good.

Air BnB has been booked that can accomodate 8, plan being one room for each couple, the two men share and a room for me. All good, although I'd be happy to share if a female friend wanted to come.

So, male friend (not organiser) has invited a young, glamorous, married friend and told the rest of us she's coming and will be sharing with me. None of us know her, I've met her twice and frankly the behaviour between her and friend/her colleague is cringey. They literally can't keep their hands off each other.

So now, I'm sharing with someone I don't know, the group dynamic changes completely and we have this very strange "platonic" colleague relationship between a single middle aged man and a married young woman going on in the middle if it.

Her flights were booked before any of the rest of us were told. The rest of us have already booked flights and accommodation is paid for (she will contribute a share).

It's not me, is it? This is a terrible way to carry on? WWYD?

I sincerely hope you are paying more if you are insisting on having the room to yourself, when everyone else is sharing.
