About us

What we do

BedBreakdown is a curated directory of hotels and resorts where a family of five, two adults and three children, can stay together in one room or suite, in a single booking. Every property listed here has been researched by hand, with the bed configuration read directly from the property's own page rather than taken from the "sleeps 5" badge a booking site displays.

Each card shows you exactly what's in the room: how many beds and what type, including any sofa bed or cot. You'll know who sleeps where before you book.

Why we built it

Finding a hotel room that genuinely takes five is harder than it looks. Most hotel rooms stop at four, so bigger families end up booking two rooms and paying twice. "Family room" means different things in different countries, on different booking sites, and sometimes in different rooms at the same property.

We got tired of clicking through pages of results only to find a room couldn't actually be booked for five. So we built the resource we wished existed: every room here can be booked for two adults and three children in one go.

How we verify

Every room type in the directory has been checked against the property's own website or a primary source — not an OTA's repackaged description. We read the bed configuration from the room detail page, count the beds by type (king, single, bunk berth, sofa bed, cot), and record that alongside the date we checked it.

That date matters. Hotels reshuffle furniture, room categories get renamed, and configurations change between seasons. A check from two years ago is still useful — it tells you the room existed and had those beds at that point — but you should still confirm the details with the property before you book.

How we stay up to date

Each card shows the date the bed configuration was last verified. We revisit listings periodically and mark cards that are getting stale, so you can see at a glance how fresh the information is.
