[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How would you split this? 5 bedroom, 10 person house- adults and older kids (no babies).

Group 1 (2 adults, 2 teens)
Group 2 (2 adults, 1 kid)
Group 3 (1 adult, 1 teen)
Group 4 (1 adult)

[/quote]

If Group 1 gets 2 bedrooms I’d do 40/20/20/20.

If I’m in a bedroom with my kid I don’t want to pay a premium for that.

Other expenses should be split per person. [/quote]

A single adult should pay the same as 3 people? That doesn't seem fair. It's not a matter of paying a premium for sharing a room with your kid - it's paying for the people you bring along. [/quote]

Why not? It’s not like they could get a house with fewer bedrooms to save money if that other group had only one or two people in the bedroom instead of three.[/quote]

Kids still take up resources - bathroom time/space, utilities, common area space, etc. [/quote]

Splitting rooms and bills makes more sense when you have nice, even percentages and if these are your friends, things should even out over the lifetime of the friendship vs being even for just this trip.  I think 40/20/20/20 makes sense but the families should make larger contributions to the group food/supply pot.  If the single adult is grumpy about the arrangement, then perhaps this isn’t the group to travel with.[/quote]
