Greek kids - how many is enough?

This weekend I had a last minute booking for a party of 5 plus 19 month old twins - I had one travel cot but purchased another to accommodate.  Tonight I received another enquiry from a family with 3 kids age 2 and under (booking.com on this occasion and I have under 2s set as free).  How does everyone deal with multiple free toddlers?

start charging for toddlers and you will probably get fewer bookings from families with more than 1 toddler. Until it is free this is what you will get. A re you really willing to purchase more cots, high chairs, etc... ? 🙂 

Of course, you could state at your description that you can host max 2 toddlers but I don't think it will prevent others from booking and then you will face penalties for canceling etc... , it is too much trouble.

And of course, guests will say the kid is under 2 y.o. even if it already goes to school 😛

 

 

 

@Branka-and-Silvia0 I have had a guest ask for discount for her "kids" aged 18 and 23 🙂 

LOL @Ana1136  😄
