Air BnB CF?

[Jbrown76]

Air BnB (sleeps 10) has been booked for £600, and has asked for £120 towards the cost as there are 5 adults who agreed to the price and number of people going (600 divided by 5 is 120).

The organiser has then invited his 2 adult children without asking anyone. The adult children both work full time, and they aren't being asked to pay or contribute their fair share.

£600 divided by 7 (7 adults including the 2 additional host children is £85.71).

The host is still asking for £120, so the remaining 5 adults are expected to cover the contribution of the organiser's children.

Is the host being a CF?

Id be annoyed at that and would ask for the cost to be split fairly

Reply along the lines of 'so the cost will now be x per person?'

Given they are working adults, the cost should be split per person. YANBU.

Are the adult children sharing the room with organiser or anything?

Sleeps 10 - is that 5 bedrooms? So it should be split per bedroom.

If the organiser is having his two adult children sharing his room then that's fair enough!

If they're getting their own room then it should be split more equally.

No adult children are not sharing room with their parent and we are still being asked for £120 and that there are no other paying persons ?!

So how many rooms are there??

I'd just transfer the £87.50 instead of £120 and if they comment, say that as there's now 7 people going, then that makes it cheaper.

After all, that's 2 extra people to fight for the bathroom(s)!

If it is by room only that’s fair enough I think. If he wants four adults in a room let him go ahead ( weird though). All other costs for food/booze etc should be a seven way split.

So just send a message saying "now that there are 7 adults it looks like it's £85.70 each, right?"

Perfect

How many people are going all together ?? Are other people bringing their children how old are the adult children ?? There is a difference of other couples bringing their 16 year olds and his 18 year old coming and no other kids and his are in there 30’s

2 of the 5 adults have already paid their £120 contribution after being asked specifically for £120 , then the organiser said their 2 adult children were coming...when we asked the host, they confirmed their 2 adult children were invited and that there would be no more paying persons...aka their children are not paying and amount is still £120

What's the occasion/context? Friends/family?

So was it originally 5 adults and no-one else ? And now it’s 7?

Or was it 5 adults plus some children and now he’s invited his adult children ?

What’s the room situation ?

How old are these 'adults' - if they are teenagers/under 21. I'd pay, wouldn't bother me, but appreciate not everyone will feel the same. My friend's kids will always be their kids (until they have moved out , have their own homes etc) and I'm inclined to treat them that way.

Probably not how most people think, I admit.

Only 5 adults were originally going, then the organiser included his 2 adult children (no others are going)

So you pay the correct portion not 120. Simple.

How old are they?

The adult children are 21+

And we're not sure how they will react, as they have previously been quite prickly 😯

Prickle away CF Grown-up kids!

I mean, I do agree with you but how many bedrooms are there?

If the organiser is refusing to budge the 2 who have paid should ask for their ,only back and the others refuse to pay. He’s changed the original agreement.

Ok, so it does seem odd to stick to £120.

You haven’t explained the sleeping / room arrangements? Do you all have your own room? Presumably the adult children coming hasn’t meant sleeping arrangements have changed ?

And how old are they? Big difference between an 18 year old and 30 year old.
