I booked the double room for one person as I was visiting a friend for one day, who is staying at airport hotel provided by red cross.
At some point at noon while we've been looking for a quiet place (which we couldn't find) to have a cup of tea and very tired from a long hours walk in town, I thought to invite my friend for an hour or two to my place for a break before we continue with our lunch.
I contacted the host to ask if I can invite my friend for a cup of tea and I suggested to pay if needed (the policy of extra guest)
The host declined my request, and when I tried to explain the situation with the inconvenience of me sending her to the airport loosing valuable hours from the one day that I had to see my friend after a year, the host replied that I am annoying.
My concern is, the room eas double originally amd the extra guest cost was 10£, I don't see any reason why the amendment was not possible. Anything can happen when you're traveling and as a host myself I am almost ready to get in to position of the guest.
It could happen that a friend with who you're traveling had issues with their booking or you made mistake during reservation, for that reason flexibility and understanding is very appreciated from the people that hosting you.
In my occasion I felt unwelcome and been brought in a very inconvenient position.
This made diminished my experience although the place was lovely and the room big amd comfortable to host two people.
