You talking Euro or USD?
My outlay averages 38 Euro per day for accommodation, but I am a recluse and have booked single rooms or bought out the other beds in a twin or triple room. Breakfast is included in many of the room rates, but I budgeted 25 euro per day in addition for food. I tend to err on the side of caution. If you can team up with someone then you'll reduce your accommodation outlay. Additionally, anyone who I can tolerate along my journey is going to score some cheap/free accommodation if they are nice...
