Why my friend's boyfriend won't be booking any more 'romantic' holidays / myLot

My friend has just posted the attached photo on her facebook page, swearing that she will NEVER again let her boyfriend 'sort out' the accommodation for a romantic getaway. I think he thought he had a bargain when he snapped up this hotel deal. I'd love to have seen his face when they walked into their little 'love-nest' and found BUNK BEDS! I don't dare ask if they've been fighting on who gets to 'go on top'.

I have no issues sleeping on the floor if that is the only hindrance

They had a chance to be creative, at least.

Such a bad thing that men don't always pay attention to details, luckily my boyfriend asks me what I think of something before buying or booking. Well, unless it's a surprise.

I'm just better at organizing.

Romance must not be cheap!

@CinnamonGrl at least it was candle lit, hope it was not because there was no power in that place

This is not something that I would call "romantic". I would divorce for something like this.

@boiboing I always check tripadvisor, it's better to risk to read a negative review and there is nothing wrong, than to fall in a scam like this.

I would not let him near a hotel booking website again. Doesn't he know that tripadvisor exists to stop stuff like that.

A very narrow four-poster, surely?

I guess that's one way of looking at it. I thought IKEA special.

Things aren't always what they seem. I booked a romantic getaway back in May to end up getting a room with 2 beds.. we made the best of it. Last month we brought the whole family on a trip and I booked a cabin that claimed it slept 6, but when we got there there were only 3 beds, one of them a full sized. 2 of the kids had to sleep on the floor

It looks like a room in a youth hostel.

That's exactly what I thought. They moved out and booked another hotel.

That would be funny if it wasn't so annoying. I wonder if he just didn't read the fine print, or if the hotel did not disclose the bedding type.

I will have to ask for more details when they get back - assuming she lets him come back.

Well, if he got a great deal, I'd have just taken the mattresses off the beds, moved them together, and made the best of things. It makes a fun story.
