Yes we can arrange a room match with another solo traveler but this is not guaranteed. Please mark "Roommate Matching" in the additional services portion on your booking page. When booking you must select single occupancy payment plan and it will be switched to double occupancy payment plan when you have successfully been matched with a roommate. Please keep in mind that while we do offer roommate matching if your roommate cancels at any time it is your responsibility to pay for the single supplement fee if neccessary.
