First AIBU, please go easy!

So DFriend and I are going on a short trip.
I have found a really lovely homestay option but she likes her own room when travelling.

If DF doesnt want to stay in homestay AIBU to stay there anyway and let her source her own accomodation?

The alternative is we go back to the drawing board and look for apartment or guesthouse together.Homestay is free whereas other accomodation likely to be pricey.

IABU - I need to suck it up and forgo homestay option so we can stay together on trip.

IANBU- I can opt for homestay which works for me and leave her to make her own accom arrangements.

I have been in correspondence with the homestay host who seems delightful.

AIBU?

It's not for eurovision is it? If so £500 for 3 nights is amazing I'd snap the hand off the booking system.

You didn't discuss this properly, I'd be very annoyed if I were your friend. You clearly had your own ideas and agenda when doing the planning and it was really unfair not to communicate that. If a friend was organising something for me, I'd assume they'd look at hotels or apartments. A honestly wouldn't be on my radar.

The fact you didn't even look at alternatives speaks volumes.

YABVU.

Staying in a random stranger's house would not be enjoyable for me - you should have discussed with her first if you couldn't afford a hotel.

No way in hell I would do a home stay.

Homestay is an unusual form of accommodation that wouldn't even occur to most people, so definitely something you should have raised as an option before starting your accommodation search.

Thank you all for your thoughts.
I asked my friend and she's up for it!
Really delighted.😊
A load off my mind.
