You are on the FAQs answer page for:
Why is other self-catering holiday accommodation valued for less bed spaces than they advertise?
Our definition of a single bed space does not normally include bunk beds or sofa bed spaces.
If the advertised number of spaces includes bunk beds as more than one space, or sofa beds in the living accommodation then there may be a difference between the advert and our valuation.
If you think we should review the details we hold, you can contact us. Please include the address and postcode of the property.
