Four in a Bed: BnB owners accuse guests of playing games with underpayment
On Saturday's explosive episode of Four In A Bed, sparks flew as B&B operators gathered to discover what their rivals thought their stays were worth. The tension was aparant during the 'payment reveal', with one pair attracting particular attention for their hyper-critical reviews.
When Greg and Vicki received their dues, they were taken aback by Dill and Darsy's rating of seven for facilities, blaming it on the snugness of their room.
A visibly irate Greg snapped: "That's actually one of our biggest rooms, it's an old historic Cotswolds building and there was no other mention of anything bad about the facilities, which is why we thought three points for a small room was a bit unfair."
Despite their protests, Dill and Darsy stood firm on their feedback, citing the cramped conditions and shortchanged their visit by £40. As things heated up, Greg expressed his fury saying, "Our room is worth a lot more than that. I would task you with finding me a room like that for £80, you won't do it. Guys, welcome to the game players."
Outside of the confrontation, Darsy and Dill professed to the cameras they werent playing games. Nevertheless, scepticism lingered among the other participants, reports the Mirror.

When it was time for Ben and Freddie to confront Darsy and Dill's scathing hygiene score of three, the atmosphere could have been cut with a knife.
Darsy justified their rating by revealing that their stay was marred by so many cleanliness issues, to the point that Dill's face was swollen from the dust.
In response, the B&B owner commented: "A three for me, I'm very surprised you stayed in the room. The three is alarm bells, get out of that room and drive off."
Vicki weighed in, suggesting it seemed as though the critical couple had stayed at a completely different establishment, given that she and her partner encountered hardly any issues with cleanliness.
Dill and Darsy expressed their profound disappointment by underpaying a staggering £65, explaining: "That goes to show that we were truly disappointed, it's just not fair."
The owners extended an apology them both for the unsatisfactory conditions, assuring them that the matter would undergo a thorough investigation upon their return.
Nevertheless, when Brendon and Vicki's glamping service was up for scrutiny, Dill and Darsy remained unimpressed, not only due to the spotty Wifi but also because they disapproved of having to prepare their own breakfast, preferring full-service hospitality.
Opting to pay £29 less than the asking price, Darsy articulated: "We have been glamping quite a bit and we think there is competition out there and you have a nice place to offer if...".
Vicky, however, swiftly rebutted: "No, you're just supposed to compare our place for value for money, not compare it to somewhere else."
Another participant at the gathering spoke about financial aspects, saying: "I'm not surprised."
This was followed by a sarcastic remark from another individual: "We've seen three big underpayments today."
The collective accused Dilly and Darsy of deliberately underpaying individuals to edge ahead in the competition, while Darsy simply shook her head in denial.
Out of earshot from the rest, Vicky described the strategy as "outrageous".
Yet despite the high-strung atmosphere, Dilly and Darsy still managed to secure second place when the contest concluded.
