its an interesting question. both sides are right in ways.
i would like to see boards opinion on it

Planning a trip with my friends and their wives. 7 people total including me. We’re getting 4 bedrooms (3 couples have their own rooms, I have my own room) Just as we were about to book 2 people brought up how it would be unfair if we split up the total cost of the Airbnb evenly 7 ways because couples act as a unified body. They want to split the cost 4 ways and make me pay for 2 people ($600 vs 300) while the couples pay $300 total for their rooms. If the couples just split it 7 ways they’d have to pay $77 more per couple. Why should I have to pay more just because I am single? The couples will be taking up more room in the house, more of their food will be in the fridge, they’ll have more stuff in the bathroom. And if the shoe was on the other foot I’d 100% split by person. Or am I crazy?

Is anyone else finding the math in the OP impossible to work out? Why would the single person have to pay 600 for their room if the couples are paying "300 total" for theirs? Or is my math below totally off given I suck at math?

If we work it out from the "77" am I right in thinking the total cost of the room is therefore 2156?

Which means in a 7 way split the single would pay 308 euro and a couple 616? But in a 4 way split the single and the couples would each pay 539. (Hence the claim 616 is 77 bigger than 539).

So who is being asked to pay "600 vs 300" here? And how exactly are the couples in either scenario paying "$300 total for their rooms"? What am I missing?

"From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs": so you'd need to know the earnings, savings and outgoings of each participant to properly calculate their share.

And then just to keep the Communist theme of the holiday going, everyone has to queue for their food, and anyone who complains about anything gets marched to the gulag.

In Soviet Russia, holiday takes you!

Bring a 'ho with you OP , that'll show em you're no pushover.

If it's an Air B&B that has four rooms and is rented out as a whole (same price whether two, three or four of the rooms are occupied), then it would be a 7 way split.

If it was rented out on a charge per room basis like a hotel, then it's a 4 way split.

some random drunk

Payment should be per room, assuming the 4 rooms are comparable, so split 4 ways. The single person could bring someone with them to share their room if they want to reduce their cost.

Pay by room and then OP sleeps with each wife for 2 nights of the week.

I see sheep

I think he should be paying for the room (so 4 way split).
What if he pulls every night? He'd be getting 2 people to stay for the price of one then.

Personally I wouldn't go on holidays with people like that.

4 way split if the rooms are comparable

Ubbquittious

I'd bail out. The aim would be to go on a relaxing trip away not worried and arguing about who is paying slightly more or slightly less for their fair share
