what's best here

LegacyUser

A pal of mine from college days lives abroad, and every couple of years we catch up.
This year, he emailed what dates he& his girlfriend were free, I booked flights.
However 2 days later I got an email to say his girlfriends' schedule had changed (family commitments), it was still ok for me to come visit that particular weekend, but that his girlfriend would like to be there to see me, so if I could also check if I was free on one of the other dates instead? And not to worry if it was hassle to change, I could still come otherwise. I'd confirmed the date but not the fact that I'd booked flights.
They're in a LTR, live together, and I usually stay with them.
I've met gf a few times, she's lovely but her English is limited.
The weekend I've booked suits me best as well as being a lot cheaper than peak times. I'm single, and this would be the first time I've gone out there without a +1.

So should I go+stay with my friend but without his gf,
go but stay in a hotel+ meet him whenever ,
or leave the flights go+ book a different date+ meet them both?

Option2 is what I'm thinking would be best, but I don't want to snub his hospitality, or make it seem overly awkward when there's no need!
Option 3 is good, but will be more expensive and also temperatures are a LOT higher a few weeks later.

Option Three.If you're going to visit someone you work around what suits THEM best.

Option two. The flights are booked already and you'll lose your money if you change it now. Just explain that you had them booked already and you hope to see the gf sometime soon too.
