Holiday situation - AIBU?

[Mirrors123]

6 adults go on holiday. 2 couples have nice double bedrooms. 1 couple has a twin room with two single beds and has to pay the same. Is this unfair or AIBU?

Omfg. How do some people get through life making such a fuss over such a small thing?

The couple who want it should be in with the single beds.

Book separate hotel rooms, OP.

We go on group holidays all the time. It works because no one feels resentful if there's a shit room because they don't pay as much if they end up in it.

I can only imagine some people here have never been on holiday with friends. But then no one on MN would ever dream of doing that, even though they can't bear the thought of sharing a bed with their husband for a week

I’ve had sex numerous times on single beds in the past and one or other of you invariably ends up falling out or down the middle if pushed together

Well maybe you’re a bit a bit clutz/comedy/heavy.

Lol tatiana far from any of those things. Maybe try the moving thing sometime during sex. You both night enjoy it

I would much prefer to be in the twin room.............

What @Cambionome said!

Nope we just move. start on back and roll over, you end up in the middle.
Knee or hand in the wrong position.
And before you know it your swallowed by the gap.
The bed itself can also be an issue if there’s wheel or no carpeting the bed moves.

Engage your brains people, it’s not that difficult.

I would take the single room as a double bed is only 4feet 6inches wide and a single bed is 3feet wide. This means you’ll each have 3 feet (and all the covers) to yourself, rather than 2 feet, 3inches (if you could actually share the double equally).

My children (9 years old) each have a double bed, but no way would I share anything less than an Australian King (6feet wide) with my husband.

In a single you’ll probably get a great sleep too!

Personally as long as I had a bed I wouldn't care if it was singles, you'll actually get 3ft of bed space compared to 2ft 3 inches so a single is better value for money

You actually get more room in a single.

What you are suggesting OP sounds mega petty and really amounts to a no-sex tax you'd be sticking on the double-bed couples.

A double bed is quite pokey.....I'd be pretty happy with 2 singles tbh. Also if you have sex in your partners bed you can leave him with the clear-up operation and quietly withdraw to your own nice clean sheets 😁

.....and no duvet wars! I'm seeing nothing but good in the arrangement.

This happens to us on a couples weekend we go to every year. We started by drawing straws but now we just offer to take the singles room if it’s our turn. No one pays less. We’re still using all the same facilities and getting the same experience just in single beds. I don’t understand what the fuss is personally and why you’d expect to pay less.

It's everyone's holiday and no adult wants to be cramped in a single bed all week

I'm finding this odd because I find I have more room in a single bed than I do with my dh in a double. In fact I prefer single beds in hotels and holiday accommodation because the doubles are often 4' 6", which is even worse.

Anyway YABU.

You can push singles together BUT the no en suite would be the kicker for me. That's annoying.

It's the lack of an ensuite that would be the deal breaker for me. I like single beds and feel I get a better sleep in them.

I think you're getting a slightly hard time on here, OP. I have been on dozens of this sort of holiday. Usually, it's pot luck on rooms and all of you pay the same, but you have to adjust for extremes - if Couple A is in a huge suite and Couple B is in a tiny box room, I'd expect A to pay more.

I thought you were going abroad at first and was tempted to yell JUST PUSH EM TOGETHER.

But actually, if you're booking a house here and the other 2 rooms have doors and en suites I would be be like

Don't even bother booking it. Book a nice log cabin with 3 doubles and a hot tub.

I'd far rather have the room with two singles - more space and freedom. No annoying cuddling in the night - I hate it!

ust looked at the listing again, hadnt looked at all the details. One Has a super king-size, one a double. Both have ensuites....Twin room has two single beds no ensuite

It's common sense - you should NOT be paying the same rate as the others when you don't have the same services/accomodation.

I'd just book my own double room separately and THEY can absorp the cost of the 'empty' room if they refuse to reduce your rate.

I actually wouldn't go on holiday with CF's like this if they got arsey about it.

Push the single beds together ! Also if it’s a hot place then it’s quite nice to actually have your own space. I wouldn’t expect to pay any less and tbh it wouldn’t bother me at all to have that room. Would be more put out if We didn’t have our own en suite. I would like our own privacy then.
