WIBU to think we should get the best room?

[TwoCoffeesPlease]

Haven’t raised this and highly possibly I won’t as I don’t like confrontation especially not with friends at the expense of a good time but canvassing to see if my expectations are reasonable or not.

Going away for new years for two nights with a group of friends. Was originally supposed to be 3 couples and one single man but one of the couples has split up so it is now 2 couples and 2 single men.

Rooms available are:
1x single
1x twin
1x double
1x double with en suite

all in a lodge type thing.

I found the accommodation (which was not easy as there were various requirements that needed to be met), paid for it on my credit card (everyone has paid me back), have organised an activity for this evening for everyone and generally corralled everyone together to facilitate the trip.

AIBU to think the en suite room should be offered up to me and my DH? It is it fairer to flip a coin between the two couples?

It's not a hotel tho. If he wants to pay single person supplement he can go book a hotel.

Presumably then op should also be paying for the whole thing, and doing all the cooking and cleaning as well? As the host that is.

So the single people pay the same but get the worst rooms? Seems pretty shitty to me, if everyone is paying the same. Draw names for them, its the best way to do it.

Game theory says you should have an internal per person auction.

I’m not sure why it’s one of the singles who gets stuck with the twin room, rather than getting a double bed, if you’re paying per room? They’re not using the second bed but could spread out in a double bed. So it’s a lot worse deal for them. Whereas the couples could take one twin bed each and have more space per person than in a double bed.

And why is it automatically a couple that gets the en suit if all have paid the same per room?

Obviously only a single person can take the single room but they should pay less for this than the couples pay for their rooms.

I wouldn't go away unless I had my own bathroom so would always be the one organising trips to ensure that. I wouldn't want to share a bathroom with anyone, even my best friends.
Hindsight and I do appreciate the restrictions you had but next time book somewhere with more en-suites/bathrooms in general? Only time we didn't get a lodge with all ensuites with friends was because there were four bedrooms and four bathrooms so worked out the same anyway!

Obviously only a single person can take the single room but they should pay less for this than the couples pay for their rooms.

Totally agree with all your points about this as unfair @GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing but couples rarely consider this. They assume ….

But they've passed d per person, so the single person is paying less....

I think expecting a bit of a special treatment/deference from others because you organised it all is setting yourself up for disappointment. I often organise accommodation which includes others and you rarely get more than a thank you. If you want the room just allocate it to yourself ahead of arrival as part of the 'organisation' communicated in advance. That's what I tend to do. Has in the past let to occasional resentment which I have brushed off as people knew the deal in advance and are welcome to organise the next trip and call the shots on room. I'd happily take the crappier room and not have all the organisation.

Thank you for reminding people. Every PERSON paid the same. The couples are basically paying double for the room, so they get the bigger rooms, as it has to fit two.
Why this is such a difficult concept for people is mind-boggling.

Besides, I thought this was all settled and there is no real ensuite--the bathroom is shared by the living room area, so not private.

Sealed auction bid it

Each couple puts cash in envelope. Higher bid wins the room. Cash split between the others/buys a load of drinks for everyone to compensate!
