Something to consider before allowing guests to use sleeping bags is the spread of bed bugs. Hostels do not permit their use for this very reason.

Figured there must be a downside to this idea.:)

Like I told one of my friends, "I always know who slept in my tent the night befor:eek:e"!

I've noticed over the years reports of a number of people being murdered by hotel employees so you're probably just as safe with a WS host as in the local hotel.

As a WS host myself I wouldn't welcome a visit from a 'local rep'. Can't really see the value of it anyway. If you were an axe murderer you'd hardly tell the 'rep' would you?
