Splitting holiday cost, what would you do?

What's Hot

Going away to Greece in July, a villa, 3 bedrooms, 2 couples with one child each and a single person, each party has a double bedroom. We (the couples) think it should be split across the 3 rooms equally, single person is putting her foot down a bit and saying it should be split between the 5 adults so we (the couples) pay more for squeezing into one room while she has a double room to herself, what you all think? It's getting a bit awkward. Yeah I know it's all very first world.

    Same rules as a hotel. A double room costs more than a single room, no matter how many people occupy it. 

    You're completely right. 

    On the other hand, when it comes to the food split, and babysitting, you're fucked!

    You’re talking about 20% more if you do it her way.  If she wants to spit the villa 5 ways then same should apply to food and other expenses, so kids go free.  She should also get last pick of the rooms.

    It all comes down to your relationship with the single person as to whether it’s better to dig in or not.

    Depends I think, but I have had the price go up when staying in a double room with a pull out bed when I said there was 3 of us.

    Are you just paying for three double rooms or the whole villa? If it's the whole property she may have a point.

    We've done this a few times ... normally 3 or 4 couples and a few single people in a big villa in Tenerife . It's the cost of the villa per person we split  ... so the single people pay half which seems fair to me

    So theres 7 people (5 adults + 2 kids?) - she should pay 1/7th of the cost ;)  (and have the 2 children in her room)
    Karma......

    I’d split it between the adults, so 20% each. It’s not her fault there isn’t a single bedroom for her.

    You’ll find you can avoid this kind of situation by not having any friends. 

    [ or agree this kind of thing a long time before you book the bloody villa] 

    but probably this…

    A holiday house is usually more than just bedrooms, and a lot of holiday cost once you get there is in food and drink. The metric which we’ve always used is that the cost is split equally between people of alcohol drinking age. As @Musicwolf says, she doesn’t get a choice of room, and is likely to end up with the smallest.

    Many a good friendship has ebbed away as a result of a shared holiday and many a good holiday has been spoilt by the company !

    If it was me, I'd split the cost per adult.
