Practical guide for teams
A team can have six sleeping places without having six separate beds or six bedrooms. Making that distinction at the start avoids a quote that looks right on paper and fails when the crew arrives.
Use the terms precisely when requesting contractor, corporate or longer-stay accommodation. The proposed property's actual layout and sleeping arrangements must be checked before booking.
Send the location, dates and practical requirements. We will point you to a current home or explain what can be sourced.
Send your accommodation briefA guide is information, not a booking or availability result.
Write the number of people travelling and whether everyone needs a separate bed. Do not rely on a generic occupancy number if sofa beds, shared rooms or temporary arrangements are not acceptable.
If the group changes during the stay, give the maximum and the dates each person is present. That can change the suitable property and the total.
Bedrooms are private rooms, not sleeping places. State the number needed and who can share. A group may accept two people sharing a bedroom but still need separate beds; another group may need one room per person.
Mention shift patterns where people sleep at different times. Privacy, quiet and room access can matter as much as the total bed count.
Before booking, ask the provider to confirm bedrooms, bed types, who shares, sofa-bed use and whether the whole property is private. Read the actual home page where one exists.
If the stay is sourced, do not accept 'sleeps six' as the only answer. Request the arrangement that was used to assess the brief.
Not necessarily. Ask for the actual bedroom and bed arrangement, and state your separate-bed requirement explicitly.
That is a group decision. Put the rule in the brief so the search is not based on an assumption.
The required number of bedrooms, the size of the home and the dates can all affect which properties are suitable and what they cost.
