When it comes to hotels or lodging, it's important to communicate what you're willing to spend per night.

I've ever been taken there has been at least one awkward meal. Usually it's the breakfast after a night of arguments where someone dramatically declares they will be leaving early.

Travel reporter Victoria M. Walker says there is usually one culprit responsible for group trip conflict: the budget. "Don't set unreasonable expectations," Walker says. "If you know somebody is on a budget you can't say, 'Oh we want to stay at a $3,000-a-night hotel.' If budget constraints have been communicated beforehand, I think there is room for some middle ground."

"For whatever reason people never seem to factor in food," she says. "You'll get to a dinner and someone will say, 'Oh this is way too expensive.'"
