Bunk Beds in Shared Room?

Greetings all,

Has anyone tried the SHARED ROOM model on Airbnb?

I currently rent out 4 private rooms in a shared house. Each room has a full size bed for 2 and rents for $30/night.

I have seen some successful listings in my are where folks have set up a “hostel style” house - fitting up to 4 people in a shared room using 2 twin bunk beds - and charging $20 a night for each bunk. That’s turning a $30 room into potentially an $80 room!

Sound weird? Well, these listings get GREAT reviews and have a steady amount of booking. Seems that there is a segment of the market totally OK with sleeping with strangers.

Has anyone tried this?? Success stories? Horror stories? I may try out this model with one of my rooms and see how it goes!

Every year there is a group of 8 guys that go pheasant hunting in western Kansas.  We sleep in a bunkhouse with 4 bunkbeds.  By we, I mean 8 guys, a dozen guns, 5 dogs, a keg of beer and many bottles of whiskey.  I had a top bunk.  In the middle of the night I fell out.
