What does workforce accommodation cost?

Costs & quotesWritten by the Workbeds team · Updated · 3 min read

Short answer

The price per worker per night depends mostly on six things: the city and how close to the centre, the season and local events, the length of the stay, how many people share a room, what is included, and how early you ask. Compare offers as a total for the whole stay.

The six things that move the price

Location
Centres and airports cost more; towns a few kilometres out often cost less. See how far from the site to stay.
Season and events
Trade fairs, festivals and summer holidays fill beds and raise prices for the same weeks.
Length of stay
Weekly and monthly prices are usually lower per night than a few nights.
Room sharing
Two per room costs less per person than singles; supervisors often get singles.
What is included
Cleaning, linen, laundry, utilities and parking can be included or charged on top.
Notice
Asking early gives more providers time to answer and more choice.

Why we do not print an average price

An average across a country hides everything that matters for your crew: the city, the dates, the rooms. Workbeds shows a price range for a city only once there are enough real offers to make it meaningful; until then, a request gives you exact totals for your dates.

How to lower the total without lowering the standard

  • Widen the radius a few kilometres.
  • Accept two addresses close together instead of one large one.
  • Share rooms two per room, singles only where needed.
  • Ask for a monthly price if the stay is longer than four weeks.
  • Avoid the weeks of large local events if the planning allows.

Questions people also ask

Is it cheaper per week or per night?

Usually per week or month for long stays. Convert every quote to a price per person per night to compare fairly.

Are utilities included in the price?

Often, but not always. Ask for energy, water, heating and WiFi to be named in the offer.
