Hen Do sharing rooms

[LMSLMS]

I'm going on a hen do this weekend and one of my friends has been told she's sharing a room with someone she doesn't know, this would be fine however we've just found out it's double beds, how would other people feel about this, would you be comfortable?

Nope, definitely wouldn't be happy with that. Who booked that?! Has your friend had to pay for the privilege?

I wouldn't sleep a wink next to a stranger.

No thanks.

Why can't the stranger sleep with someone she knows?

Reminds me of the 1st hen party I went to. Unknown to me, they had planned 3 of us to each double bed! I slept on the floor.

Absolutely not. Just NO!

No way. Maybe a room but own bad. That's very strange . Yanbu. Your poor friend

I could just about get over a room with someone you’ve only just met, but only with separate beds.

I'm going on a hen do soon with the bride to be being a good friend of many years but I don't know any of the others who are going.
The accommodation will be double beds and sharing that bed with strangers which is not at all something I'm comfortable with. Luckily I found out early so I'm paying extra to have my own room otherwise I wouldn't be going.
OP- it's a bit out of order that the accommodation set up wasn't explained to your friend properly from the start. I can't imagine many people would be happy to share a bed with someone they didn't know for a weekend.

I would have hated it when I was married and most of my trips were nicely coupled up. I thought I needed my privacy, unless I was with DH, but actually, since I've been single needs must and I've shared with all sorts. Friends, aquaintances, strangers, men and women and it's fine. Mostly it's been an absolute blast, and how bad can it be if it's only a night or two?

I'd have missed out on some really good trips if I'd refused to share a bed.

I think it can be pretty standard but you should be asked before payment is made if you’re happy about that. With these things someone often ends up having to share a room but I hate bed sharing anyway so I wouldn’t be happy and if I’d paid already I’d be asking why I wasn’t told

I wouldn't care

This would just chuck a sleeping bag in the car. Shared a friend with male and female friends in the past which was fine we were very drunk and fully clothed.

No, I wouldn't share a bed with anyone and I wouldn't share a room with a stranger.

I’ve done it but hated it.

Nowadays I won’t share a room with anyone but DH as it affects my sleep - except at hen dos when I think you unfortunately have to make sacrifices. Finding shared accommodation within budget, with the right number of rooms, in the right location is nearly impossible as it is ime, so I think sometimes the sacrifice has to made - unpleasant as it is.

Nope, not for me!

I definitely would not be comfortable with that.
I could just about cope with sharing a room but even then it’d have to be someone I knew and not a stranger.

Am I reading this right...... they expected three people to share one double bed?

Who the hell thought that was a good idea?

I've shared a bed with several of my friends, it's better than sleeping on the floor! I wish hotels and holiday accommodation would have beds which can convert into twin or doubles

I would share a room, but not keen on sharing a bed with a stranger. Especially not a drunk one (yes, I am making generalised assumptions). Don't want to wake up with someone else's sick in my hair 🤮

Nope.

Don't think I'd be agreeable to that, no.

I turned down a good friends hen do for this very reason

Or then with yours!

Generalised assumption obviously

Only ok if agreed beforehand and price reflects this. Not ok to just tell someone after the fact.

Wouldn’t bother me at all
