I'm going to a friends hen do at the end of June. I have known this friend since I was at secondary school so we have developed different friends over the years so I'm only vaguely familiar with the other ladies going. The maid of honour has done all the booking and is now asking for the money for the accommodation she's booked except she's sent link to the air bnb she has booked and it's only got three bedrooms and three double beds for seven people. I questioned this if she had made a mistake or are we supposed to be sharing beds and she said yes. Aibu to not want to share a bed with a virtual stranger? Would you pay up or back out? I feel like I've been put in a difficult position now as if I don't pay the others price will go up so I can't even find my own accommodation. I honestly feel sick.

How did the bride react when she saw everyone sharing beds and you on an airbed?

I would reply back and tell the 7th that she owes x amount to each person for her share of the accommodation as she slept the night

I'd do the maths for the price of the overnight stay minus the Uber bill and send her a message with the breakdown. I'm sure she will shut up pretty quick when she realises she owes more than she is due. She can't really accuse you of being "tight" when she's asking people for £4 for a taxi. Can't STAND people like this, they are unbearable. I hope nobody pays.

definitely this
we owe you £4, you owe each of us £xx

You've done well to suck it up so far. I don't think I could resist asking blandly how much she is chipping in for the accommodation. But I do get myself in trouble sometimes.

Oh please tell me you wrote back "no worries, now here's your share of the hotel bill"

YANBU
I pulled out of a hen night because I was told I would share a room with a stranger.

Fortunately I was able to pull up my initial message where I clearly stated I wanted my own bedroom & bathroom & would not share.

I'm in my 50s, as we're all the other attendees (2nd marriage) and I only share a room with my partner thats it.
It's not like I'm in my 20s & broke any more
