Hotel rooms -how outdoor you divide the cost?

Indeed Tenko or the next might be the dreaded “well I didn’t have wine” when the bill comes in a restaurant. No dear, but you did have dessert, a soft drink (not cheap anymore unless it’s water from a tap) and coffee! 😂

If it is the single person's choice to have a double room then I think they should pay for the room.. why can't they book a single room?

All pay for your own rooms, then when it comes to outings, food etc, divide the bill up by the amount of people.

Our DD doesn’t earn anywhere near what her brothers earn, so when we all go out or away, her share is picked up by them and us.

No problems, or resentments just happy we all get on and can go away/out to eat together.

many hotels do not have single rooms.

Why can’t the singles share a twin room?

Why should they GG13 I would not consider sharing a room unless I chose to. Certainly not to make it cheaper for others.

Thank you for all your comments. Re the two singletons sharing , they are different gender , and in-laws ( i e my sister , and husbands brother), not short of money but one tends to whinge about it! If it was our children we would probably pay for them. Even in rented holiday homes it becomes difficult sorting out the rooms.

That does complicate things a bit. In that case, leave them to it. If there had been younger generations involved it might be different, but as you are all of an age there is no need to feel you should subsidise anyone. Having one’s own room is well worth the extra money, particularly on a family trip😀. Somewhere to grab half an hour’s peace is priceless.

In that case, each should pay for their own room.
If you feel that they’ll struggle financially then you could suggest that you share with your sister and your husband shares with his brother.
No problems, just solutions.

Sorry, just realised that you said they can afford but one will moan. Take up my solution or let them get on with it.
Either way enjoy your break.

If I was organizing a family get together I don’t get involved in accommodation, they can stay with others locally or book a Premier Inn, we can put 2 couples up ourselves if needed. Food I pay for, eat what they want, wine on the table, anything else order at the bar.

We are going to a wedding in May, my wife’s side, many I’ve never met, so weve booked 2 nights in a Premier Inn then fit in with whatever is planned.
