A family of three went out for a trip and booked a double room. Will the hotel charge extra?

Regarding the question of "whether a hotel double room can accommodate three people", generally speaking, every hotel has relevant regulations, such as a family of three, using existing beds for children under the age of X free of charge, and a double room can accommodate three people; Above the age of X, bed fee is required; If you are over X years old, you need to charge adult100%; If it's three adults, there's usually an extra bed fee.

The check-in policies of every country and hotel are not exactly the same, but basically the requirements abroad are stricter and the domestic ones are more tolerant. In foreign hotels, the price is calculated strictly according to the number of people staying, and the price for one person staying in the same room type is different from that for two people. As shown in the figure below:

In this case, be sure to look at the "number of people staying" when booking or choose according to the accurate "number of people staying" when searching. Don't just pay attention to the price, choose the one with low price, so you will be asked to make up the difference when you check in. This kind of thing often happens. When customers complained that "I booked a standard room" and made a bad review, they didn't know that it was caused by their own operational mistakes. Similarly, it is not allowed for three adults to stay. Customers need to apply for an extra bed or book another room. Even if the room you booked is big enough and there are enough beds, the hotel will strictly count according to the head count.

There is only one situation in which three people are allowed to live in a standard room, that is, two large and one small, and parents travel with their children, but there are also strict age restrictions. The hotel will have a detailed "children's policy". Generally speaking, children under 6 years old (some hotels stipulate that they are 3 years old and some hotels stipulate that they are 5 years old) do not need extra beds, so they can share the existing beds with adults, so children can stay in and even enjoy breakfast for free. If some children are too young, some hotels will also provide bassinets. Children aged 6 ~ 12 usually need extra beds, but the cost is relatively low, usually half price, and breakfast needs to be included. For children over 12 years old, many hotels will treat them as adults and charge 100% for extra beds and meals.

Domestic hotels, if not high-end star-rated hotels, are also loosely managed, especially private youth tours or small hotels. Sometimes the boss doesn't care how many people live in a room. But there are also some greedy people who want to reduce their travel expenses and want to book a standard room for three people or choose a single room for two. If two people book and three people check in together, the general hotel will refuse this request, but if two people check in, the third person waits and then "slips" into the room, the general hotel will not care too much. However, once this kind of behavior is discovered by the hotel, on the one hand, it will face the punishment of "making up the difference" or refusing unregistered customers to stay, on the other hand, it may affect the image of individuals and even the country. I especially don't recommend tourists to do this.
