Air BnB CF?

180 replies

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'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.

So if it's friends going, why has the organiser decided to bring their adult children along without checking that no-one else minds?

The accommodation costs need to be split per room, rather than per person.

So if the five adults = couple A, single B, single C, single D, and now it's going to be Couple A (room 1), Adult Kids A (room 2), single B (room 3), single C (room 4) single D (room 5) and Family A are paying £240, with B, C D paying £120 each, then perfectly fair - no CFers.

Equally if the five adults were Couple A (room 1), Couple B (room 2), Young children of B (room 3), Single C (room 4), single D (room 5), then it's not unreasonable for Couple A to also bring their adult children FOC to use room 6 or the sofa bed, as each family will be paying £120 per room used by their family.

I can't help wondering why OP won't tell us who is going (adults AND children) and how many rooms they are using v how many rooms in the Air B&B.

Sleeps 10, 5 people going, so 5 doubles? Where are grown up kids sleeping? I’d be fuming if they were in the living area and as you’re all friends, the last thing you want is your mate’s kids turning up to ruin the atmosphere (potentially).

OP obviously knows how many bedrooms there are as her DH has the link.

No not unreasonable. Yes CF. Transfer your share of 7 and wait for him to question it. If you don’t do something you will be splitting all bills for the weekend 5 ways and free riding his grown ass kids! They don’t have to pay for themselves but he sure has to!

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.

They will be using the shared rooms as well..so by 7 is fair. And spidey sense should be twitching rgds the dodgy excuses that will come into play if there's a shared kitty for expenses
