When to count children as guests?

Upvote:5

The rule of thumb is that children count as soon as they need their own beds. Baby sleeping in same bed or in a cot? Doesn't count. Preschooler in a rollaway bed? Counts.

Obviously there is wide variation on this on a country, state, city and hotel policy level. In particular, as far as fire codes are concerned, a person is usually a person regardless of size, so a room with a maximum occupancy of three is a room for three, period, even if the hotel doesn't charge you extra for an infant. The best approach is to call the hotel and ask, they're often more lenient in practice than the booking site would indicate.
