Thanks!! Interesting news!! I don’t think I will easily share a room with a stranger! 🙂
It’s an interesting concept. Single occupancy surcharges can be quite steep (up to double the per person rate), so it could save a lot of money.
I wouldn’t like to be the accommodation host having to sort out any disagreements.
