Its a group holiday one...

[Cornwall776]

13 girls going on holiday.
In hotel there is 2 rooms of 4 people, 1 room of 3 people and 1 room of 2 people.
The organiser has planned that everyone pays the same so the people who only have to share with 1 person will pay the same as the people who have to share with 3.
Surely this isnt fair and the cost should be split by room? So for example if a room for 4 is 200, that group pays 50 each.
What would you do in a group whatsapp situation where everyone else has agreed to this...
AIBU to speak up and ask for the cost to be split more fairly? The room for 2 has obviously already been bagged.

It’s only fair to all pay the same if everyone gets a fair shot at the rooms and they’re allocated at random, not faster finger first.

Although in your scenario the most valuable spot is clearly the single in the room of 3 so if others are busy bagsying the double take advantage to get in there and call dibs on your own bed!!

This wouldn't bother me at all. It would annoy me more if people wanted to pay by room and I'd find that tight and a bit miserable.
Also wouldn't bother me sharing a bed, assuming you're all friends. If that's not the case just make your excuses and don't go.
Might have been better to draw rooms out of a hat.

I think I'd book my own room. I'm 37 and recently went on a hen weekend where we were all expected to bunk up and share double beds. It was a bit awkward, but I said no.
I like my own bed space and sharing a room with single beds wouldn't have bothered me at all, but sharing a bed with a drunk pal? Noooo. I wasn't willing to flex my preference that far!

Have you tried organising anything for 13 people? It’s fucking hellish! The majority add zero value yet whine like little bitches after the fact that it’s ‘not fair’. Either put up or shut up.

That is so passive aggressive.

please don’t say this OP

if you are getting this woukd up without even having left, I dint think this holiday is for you. Is it ideal? No.

but really, it’s not worth causing a fuss over and it will be a terrible start to the holiday. Just deal with it.

@Cornwall776 - I think you need to say that you don’t think the arrangements are fair and that either the people in the rooms for 3 and 4 should pay less, to reflect the fact that there’s so many of them per room, or there needs to be a fair distribution of the rooms - some sort of draw, rather than someone getting to ‘bag’ the room for 2.

Tell her not to book, because you will take over and do all the booking now as you obviously better at it than they are.

To be fair if a 2 person room is 1 double bed, a 3 person room has a double and a single and a 4 person has 2 doubles, I don't think the 4 people get more privacy that the 2.

I suppose there's a higher probability that 2 people will be very close friends who are happy to see each other naked... than all 4 will be, but otherwise the space in the 4 person room divided by 4 is probably the same as the space in the 2 person room divided by 2... and they will all change in the bathroom!

If it's a hotel booking you actually know the cost per room, so each room should be paid for by its occupants. If that means the people in the double object you can offer to swap!

I would ask that rooms are drawn by lots to keep it fair rather than people bagsying otherwise, I would not agree to pay the same as 2 sharing and 4 sharing.

Screw the room for 2 if its a double bed.

I'd bag the single bed in the room of 3 or refuse to go.

There is no way I'd want to share a double bed.

I went on a hen party and they were sharing doubles so I just paid for my own room!

Is it a package holiday? If so splitting out room costs from transfers and flights will be a nightmare.
I think this is the holiday either embrace it or not - the majority don’t seem to have an issue.

If everyone in whatever sized room is sharing beds then I think the split per person is reasonable.

What is not reasonable is expecting people to share beds in the first place! Had you all agreed you were OK with that before it was booked?!

I wouldn't share a bed with someone other than DP or DD if I was being paid to - I certainly wouldn't be paying for the privilege!!

Interesting how many people won't share a bed with a friend. I go away for a girls weekend every year and we always share.

Can you do a dummy booking on the hotel website and see what the difference is between a 2 person and 4 person room?

Some people are very extroverted and really don’t mind being constantly in the company of others, sharing rooms and even beds, without a second to themselves all holiday. I think some even consider it part of the fun.

Hell on earth for me too though! I’m like a dog that needs its retreat to go back to 😄

me too

Sounds awful. Definitely not for me

But... Sounds like this the start of it, so decide on your boundaries now as there will be more issues to come

It depends on ages I think. You use the term girls so I'm thinking it's a young group. As a youngster 18 into mid 20's I wouldn't have cared less about the sleeping arrangements !! Now at 55 I'd probably have a different attitude !!

ohh no YANBU if you’re sharing a bed you pay half surely!! Pay per bed, not per person

Honestly, splitting by room sounds a pain to sort out. Everyone is sharing a double bed, so not loads of difference imo. I guess you can volunteer to organize next time and do it differently if you like?

I just wouldnt be going

I also wouldn’t go. If there will be drinking going on you’ll get snoring or worse. Absolute hell.

Well more fool you other 12 for letting this happen. I wouldn't agree to anyone booking anything until I knew what they were booking!

You must have agreed to this room arrangement when the booking was made so at this point I think you either go along with it or don’t go.

Everyone gets half a double bed so I don’t see why everyone shouldn’t pay the same tbh.
