This rule has always been part of the product policy & it is to ensure that all members have an opportunity to holiday & experience the holiday to the maximum extent possible.

Hence minimizing the number of check-ins results in a smoother & better check-in experience.

Anything more than this would get automatically lapsed.

WHY DON'T YOU ALLOW MORE THAN 2 ADULTS IN A HOTEL UNIT (HU) APARTMENT?
