To help inform your decision, we’re breaking down the key differences between a memory foam mattress versus a hybrid mattress and why one of these options might be just right for you. When it comes to choosing a new mattress, it’s important to know what makes them different and the benefits they provide. It can be tough to know which reigns supreme. It's not worth making a song and dance about Stacey, it happens probably around 20% of stays so I just let it go, I don't even make mention of it, I just accept that this stay will give me a bit more work to do and I just concentrate on having a couple of happy guests.Īs you say.'Suck it up'! All the best Stacey.If you’re in the market for a new mattress, you might have noticed there are quite a few options to choose from. Many times I will have, family relations who don't actually want to sleep together, or travelling friends, or simply two people not in a significant relationship.they see that my listing has two seperate sleeping spaces and simply assume that both are available and covered by the two person base rate that I charge. I have a similar situation in that I offer a 'studio' type listing with a Queen bed and a sofa that also becomes a bed to accommodate a couple of children or that third guest.and for this I can charge as an extra person cost after my two guest base rate! Airbnb allows us to charge by the guest, not the bed. Is it really is something we are all going to come accross at times Stacey. I don’t mean the price of the washing I feel that using every bed if there are 3 is a bit like taking a bite out of all the apples in a bowl - or a spoonful out of each bowl of porridge. Often someone has just laid down to read, or unpacked their bags all over the bed, but it can double and treble the work load. What about the larger environmental costs, by creating extra laundry, using more detergent, wasting power etc. as I find it weird to be like that but nearly everyone seems to be ‘hoping to get away with it’? Any room that has been touched needs to be thoroughly checked and cleaned. I have always made up all the beds and I refuse to put locks on individual doors etc. I do get a lot of couples who choose a bed each, which I have always been fine with, however frequent use of the third bedroom, with just 2 guests, has just annoyed me to the point where I have decided to charge for it anyway. Also I have now bumped up my price to cover the use of 3 beds. This has led me to really beef up my house rules and reiterate them frequently. This is not a party house, no extra guests, etc. Eventually Airbnb cancelled with no penalty on my behalf and I thanked them. It quickly descended into chaos as I tried to explain the rules. My friends from the area are coming to stay when we arrive and I am having a party!” A few minutes later my cell phone rang and I had a woman shouting at me: “ I have booked all the rooms. I wrote to welcome them, and asked If they were 2 singles or a couple, in terms of bed usage. I had a last minute IB a few weeks ago for 2 guests. When I asked her to make a new request reflecting 5 guests, she replied “oh no, then I will have to pay”. My cheapest winter price was £54 per night for this last minute week long potential booking. The potential guest believes they are getting the use of all the rooms because they are ‘paying for it’.

My subsequent enquiries show that there are actually 5 people travelling in the party. I have two 3 bedroom apartments around 1000 sq ft that have been, for example, booked or requested by a ‘single’ guest. This is this is an interesting point, which comes up regularly with me. “Goldilocks” Bed hopping - I love that term!
