Extra guest staying only 4 days when im staying 15

[Brandon1069]

Hello, 

I'm wondering if there's a way to add an extra guest to the booking but only for 4 days.

I'll be staying over the course of 15 days and when i try to add an extra guest the price doubles entirely.

Is there an option to only add an extra guest for 4 days without doubling the price because the system thinks the extra guest will be joining me the whole duration.

Hi @Brandon1069 

It would be easiest to message the host before you book. Explain the situation first, so that when you request the trip, the host can send you a "Special Offer" that is calculated according to the correct number of guests for the appropriate nights. 

{Another way to do it would be to make two separate bookings in a row (one for 2 guests and one for 1 guest), but if the listing has a cleaning fee, this will then be charged between the two bookings. Also, some listings block a day after check-out, so you may not necessarily be able to book this way.}

@Brandon1069. Contact the host via messages and ask. You should also consider whether this guest is sharing the same bedding or requires an extra bed/room. Depending on hosts pricing  structure even one night may require extra linen costs, not to mention utilities. Suggest you try and negotiate a special offer.

Hi @Brandon1069, 

I hope you're well! Shelley and Frances suggested some ways to approach this situation, did you get a chance to review their advice? 

It would be great to know how you're getting on and whether you've managed to find a solution for this booking. 🙂

Thanks,
