Sharing the cost of the accommodation for a weekend break

[anotherpyjamaday]

Genuinely interested in your opinions on this.
I arranged a weekend City break for myself and 2 friends in a gorgeous 3 bedroomed apartment this December. One of my friends then suggested inviting a mutual friend to join us and we agreed that would be fine.
Today in a group message I asked about bedrooms as there are now 4 of us going and only 3 bedrooms (2 twins and 1 single) My friends both think that the 4th person can use the sofa bed in the living room.
My issues with this are

1. I don't think it's reasonable for all 4 to pay the same amount when 1 person won't have a bedroom
2. I have the feeling I would end up on the sofa bed as my train would be last to arrive on the Friday. I would feel very uncomfortable with the lack of privacy and probably wouldn't sleep very well. So.. AIBU?

@mummy2017 that sounds fine apart from telling them "you want a room alone, as you can't share as it disrupts your sleep" - I think that's cheeky. Maybe express a wish to sleep alone but not to tell them so.

The more I read on here the more I realise that my friends are easy to go away with!

totally. We'd just split the total bill in 4 and no one would consider the sofa because what's wrong with sharing? Our next holiday let is 2 singles and 2 doubles. We'll just sort out who gets what on the say and all pay the same

Totally! All this business of working out a formula for percentages of this, that and the other is bonkers.

But a three bed apartment was booked by OP so she could have her own room.
Someone else changed the rules not her, and she will be the last to arrive.
God forbid she ends up on the sofa , hence why she states she will take either of the one person rooms.

Good grief. You're all grown ups. Two share a twin and you split the cost equally. Are people really so petty about having their own rooms that they quibble over money?

I go away with a friend every other year for around 4 nights. We always share a room in an apartment. We're in our late thirties. Husband regularly goes away on city breaks with the boys. They generally share rooms and have on occasion been known to share a bed if only doubles are available. Ages range from late thirties to early forties.
I shared a bed with a friend on my hen do, someone else would up with a private room. We all paid the same.

Why is this even an issue?!

It will be interesting to know what the OP thinks about this when she comes back and why they haven't even considered two people sharing a twin room!

Thank you all for your opinions-it's been very helpful!
For those who have asked about sharing a room and why it's an issue; we have always had separate rooms on our weekends away so for us it's the norm. As an introvert I need my own space to relax and recharge in but I know that everyone is different!
I have replied to the message saying that using the sofa bed would not be practical due to the open plan nature of the apartment living area. I have suggested that we draw names to decide who shares the largest twin room.
Hopefully my friend and mutual friend will offer to share before we have to pick the names out of the hat!! If I have to share I'll just suck it up and crack on-as a few of you said, if we are friends it shouldn't be a problem.
As for the money I'm now of the opinion that I'm over thinking it and we should just split it 4 ways. After all, we all get a break from the kids, a lie in and a chance to get our Christmas shopping done!

Thanks again for your input

Ah interesting.
I've just about concluded organisation for next years ladies ski weekend. I thought I was doing my friend a favour by ensuring there was an equal number of us so she could avoid a single supplement, but it turns out she much prefers to be on her own,whereas I have no objection to sharing a twin - in fact I quite enjoy it. However I'd never share a bed - I'd simply rather not go than do that.

In this case I'm surprised room arrangements weren't mentioned when the 4th holiday maker was mentioned.

OP, just hope you won’t be back on here in a few months time saying one of your friends cannot arrange childcare and wants to bring their DC. Have read so many threads about this happening, memorable hen party one where CF rocked up with baby and DH.

I think the op means two twin beds and a single....ie two bedrooms, one with two beds and one with one. Hence the need for a sofa. It wouldn't make sense otherwise surely!?

No, there are three bedrooms. Two twins and one single. She says so in the opening post.

Children are definitely not coming-we all know the drill!
3 bedrooms-1 double, 2 twins
I assumed that when the mutual friend was invited by friend that they would share but they haven't offered.
Wasn't sure if I was just being a bit of a dick about it hence the need for further opinions

Surely the person who wants her friend to come will share with her?!
