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?

I’d pay 86 and say obviously your adult kids are paying their own way and leave it at that

Just out of interest, are you related to any of these people? The only situation where I think this might vaguely pass is if you are all siblings and a much beloved niece/nephew combo are coming along. Even that's a bit of a stretch.

So you don't know how many rooms there are, but you know for a fact that the 2 adult children aren't bunking in with their parent?

what does 'sleeps 10' mean? It rarely means 10 bedrooms. 5 tops. or fewer, and some bunks and sofas, as pp writes. I would not be too happy if I was originally supposed to get my own room and would now be expected to sleep on living room sofa.

In answer to your question - YES!

I'd give the organiser a choice - they reduce the cost to all attending/using the AirBnB or you circulate to everyone what they are doing and watch as people pull out of the arrangement.

If the two adult children are going to pay 1/7th each they should have the same quality of stay as the OG 5; ie their own bedrooms.

If they are dossing on their parents floor, or on the settee then they should pay a reduced rate or stay for free IMO

Just send the 87.50 fgs

Just say how many bloody rooms there are!

I'm being vague because it could he very outing.

It's an Airbnb, dh was sent a link, agreed to £120 for 5 adults, sleeps 10, but all 5 adults get their own room, no idea why we needed a place test sleeps 10 when only 5 were originally going. It's for 3 days. Group of friends, no relations.

They just have.

So did the 5 people include the organiser or has he spread the cost between paying invitees & also paid his £120 with his partner or otherwise.

He may feel having sorted everything out he deserves his adult children coming but it does make it different & I would most definitely check out what "sleeps 10 " means . No one wants to come downstairs for breakfast and find 2 people still asleep on a sofa bed. To me sleeps 10 ( comfortably ) would be 5 double bedrooms , which surely are already accounted for . If he is happy to have his DCs in sleeping bags in his room - well that is one thing. But This would change things for me.

If the sleeping arrangements can be sorted out to the paying people's satisfaction I would suggest him putting more into the pot for food ( if you are doing communal dinners or he pays for a takeaway one night. ) or everyone just says £87.50 or a refund.

He's put you in a difficult position for sure

From info op has provided so far, then all seven people should be paying.

why should a working adult expect to enjoy equal amenities for free?

if the two extra people (related or not) can pay zero, then surely anyone else among the seven has just as much “right” to go for free too.

As for the person known for being “prickly”, they prob know what their reputation is, and smugly supposes they won’t be questioned for fear of upsetting the atmosphere when the holiday takes place.

op, have asked why two of the original five five have paid the £120 that would’ve been applicable if the two extra weren’t coming?

So you and your DH were having a room each? Or is only your DH going?

Assuming you’re going with DH as he got sent the link?

Are the other three adults a couple, and a solo? Is so, are the adult children the solo travellers?

It's plain as day that the cost is per person (adult). Divide it by the number of adults and only agree to paying that. If the person with the 2 adult children wishes to pay 3x their share on their 'kids' behalf then fine.
No way should they make you pay towards extra adults' share.

5 rooms -Cost is split by 5
Person A's adult children are going to share their room,l.
Room 1 -3 people
Rooms 2-5 -1 Person in each room.

My concerns would be the adult DC changing the dynamics and also, what about food/breakfast etc...

This would be me too!

Being vague just makes it bloody difficult for people to provide useful responses, OP! Is your husband going as well as you?

This thread is giving me rage, as in the CF is. I’m due on so not helping.
But as others say, prickly Pete probably gets away with it by not being challenged.
Now, if his kids are sleeping on a shitty pull out in his room it makes a difference. If they both get their own rooms then be prickly right back. You may as well tell us the number of rooms- everything else in the story could give it away!
Some detail here can make all the difference but asking adult kids away with a group of friends is cheeky in itself

But who wants someone to bring their prickly adult children with them on a friends' trip away?

Have you actually said anything to the organiser about the additional guests? Have any of you mentioned anything about feeling. The cost should be lower now?

Are you now being expected to share rooms due to the new people? Are they on sofa beds or to? I'd definitely have asked these questions?

You must have the link to the Air B and B?

So if the plan was that everybody gets their own room, where will be the extra 2 people sleep?

YANBU. Message in the group saying is total now £85 per person has he has invited 2 further people?

I can't believe no one has called out the booker on this.
