Holiday accommodation

AIBU to expect teenage step siblings of similar age (mid teens) and sex to share a room on holiday? They have lived together full time for the last year and generally get on, though have their own bedrooms.

AIBU to expect 12 year old twins of the same sex to share a room and a double bed on holiday?

accommodation with flexible bed arrangements seems scarce!

Would both boys be happy to share a double if that means getting the plushier room and the en suite?

If so then I think the boys and girls need to flip a coin for who gets that room rather than it being assumed that the girls get it because they are twins/not step siblings.

I can’t see how one kid in the en suite double and the other 3 in the kids’ bunk room works at all !!

Gosh, I really think i'm a lot less fussy than a lot of people. I'm 5'6 and have slept in my child's toddler bed (i.e. what was a cot at one point, same mattress) on more than one occasion. It's not ideal, but fine - I slept well! Fair enough if a 6' teenage boy wouldn't fit in a bunk bed but a small female would.
