Many people travel for months on end sleeping in dorm rooms in bunk beds with lots of other people every night. We can't imagine it - we would have probably been home within a few weeks had we had to stay in dorms. We have heard horror stories as follows: someone waking up in the middle of the night to find a stranger massaging them; a stolen camera; a stolen guidebook; bad wind; being awoken at 5am by spoilt British 18-year olds drinking and snorting drugs; people bringing back their conquests of the evening for further exploration. The list goes on. Everyone seems pretty cheerful about the state of affairs and presumably if you're travelling by yourself then there's also the appeal of meeting people easily.
We spent our first night in this dorm because we had spent 3 nights in a double room at the hostel and got a night in the dorm for free. It was hardly tough as we were the only people in there. Evenso, the room was dark and cramped and would have been hideous had it been full. We don't plan to repeat the experience. Maybe it's our age! Are we getting old?!

If you are, we are. Not being able to find a private room at any hostel in bruges we opted for what others have termed a shed. But I liked it.
