[Sleeplessinthesouth71]

Ok so travelling with my 3 DC and a relative and need to stay in a hotel overnight. Without my relative we would need one room but with my relative two rooms. Rooms are £50 each.
What split is fair? I was thinking I pay £75 and she pays £25 or maybe £70/£30
Thanks.

What’s the sleeping arrangements? If you will be with all three DC as usual then you go halves.

If they have a room to themselves then 50 50

If you need one room, you pay £50 for yours.
If they need one room, they pay £50 for theirs.

I'm guessing the children are young and not paying a share?! Otherwise I can't see why the relative wouldn't just pay for their room - unless they are only coming at your request to help with the children etc.

In which case I'd pay for their room outright.

Depends on who the relative is and why they're travelling with you. If its because you need them there (for help with childcare) I'd be paying for both. But if its cause they've decided to come along I'd say pay 50/50 :)

I agree with this

I would always pay for my own room, so 50:50.

Unless your dc are in with relative it’s 50/50

If your family has one room and relative has other, pay for your own rooms.

Ot wouldn’t occur to me to do anything other than 50/50 - your relative gets their own room so pays for it.

I’d go on the starting basis of 50/50 if you’ll each have your own rooms.

then what are the circumstances, is your relative travelling to solely benefit you? Like childcare.
is the relative financially comfortable?

If one of your DC will stay in the room with the relative, then I would offer to contribute to their room so I think 75/25 is fair. If not, then 50/50.

Your room is £50 (assuming you and 3dc share).
Their room is £50.

Depends if the only reason you were having to share is because you have your kids with you. If, without the kids, you and your relative would share a room, then they now only need the second room because of your kids and a fairer split would be 25:75. If they would have their own room when going away with you anyway, then 50:50 seems fair.

If you and your kids are in one room and relative has room to themself then each of you just pay for your own room. If you've spread some of your kids across the two rooms then a proportionate split because in that case you're getting some of the benefit of the second room and relative is losing the benefit of complete privacy.

Ok. I think we were on the right lines. One of the kids is 18 so the kids decided to go in together. I shared with relative. So she paid half of that room and I of course paid for other room.

Why are you questioning it, if you were both happy with what was split?
