Each episode of Three in a Bed follows a similar format. The show begins with the three hosts meeting each other for the first time and exchanging pleasantries. They then draw lots to determine the order in which they will host each other. The first host takes his guests on a tour of his home, showing off his tastefully decorated rooms and unique features. He then offers them a home-cooked meal, which he prepares himself, and entertains them with a fun activity, such as a board game or karaoke.

The guests then retire to their bedrooms, which are usually decorated to reflect the host's personality or interests. They spend the night and rate their experience the next morning based on factors such as comfort, cleanliness, and hospitality. The host then bids them farewell and gives them a parting gift before sending them on their way.

The other two hosts then take turns to host their guests in a similar fashion, with each trying to outdo the others with their hospitality and creativity. At the end of the final visit, the guests reveal their scores to the hosts, who eagerly await the results. The host with the highest score is declared the winner and receives the cash prize.
