Splitting villa costs

[hattimehead]

We have a villa booked in France next year. The cost is £2300 for 10 nights. Me, DH and DD. My sister and her family are also going. They are in another villa so there will be a mix of family stuff and doing our own thing. Sister and I have a mutual friend who might like to come for a long weekend with her DH. We have space and can accommodate them in our villa for 3 nights. What contribution to the villa costs would you take?

They would only pay for your dinner out, not your sister's. If that's tricky to do then leave it and either accept money or hope for a thank you when you get home.

300 seems a lot when you have already paid for it
Rather greedy

Isn’t it also greedy for the friends to expect a free place to stay?

What amount do you suggest?

You've booked and paid for the villa already.

They are possibly coming along after you've booked.

You've got room for them.

I don't think I'd personally charge a room rate.
Treating you to dinner could be tricky given there is a wider group of you.

I'd invite them for the weekend stay with my blessing at no charge but on the understanding they cover the costs of their own meals & drinks and pitch in with tidying up after themselves - just to manage expectations (theirs & yours).

It’s wrong to expect them to contribute. Hopefully they will pay for some food and take you all out for nice meal. Asking for money is pure greed, she’s your friend not some Airbnb random.

I’m not expecting anything. They’ve asked us if they do come what can they contribute to the costs of the villa. They have said if they come they want to contribute and wouldn’t feel comfortable staying with us and not contributing. It’s nothing to do with being greedy.

For clarity they’ve been part of the holiday chat all along. They looked at a studio apartment but couldn’t commit. Back when we booked they said book without us. If we can come we will.

Thanks to those who suggested a food shop and cooking. I might suggest that. I have no intention of cooking anything while I am there but if they want to they can.
