Advice needed - How much of a fight will Ryaniar put up with expenses?

Myself, my partner, and 4 friends have been on Holiday in spain. We were due to fly back to the UK but Barcelona airport shut down due to weather 2 hours before our flight.

We were left to find emergency accommodation for 2 nights as Ryanair were too busy to do it for us. Unfortunately they were not very clear on what "reasonable expenses" means.

The problem is that my and my gf booked together and the 4 friends booked together, so we have 2 bookings but doing the exact same activities e.c.t

We were looking at Hotels around the airport and in Barcelona. Because of the amount of people suddenly booking last minute hotels, there were very very few available. The ones that were available were €400+ per night per room (we would need 3 rooms)

At the last minute, we managed to find an Airbnb for just under €600. We booked it ASAP due to not wanting to lose it, but it would fall under the umbrella of "luxury" which Ryanair is funny with. We also had to take a €100 taxi to it due to the time of night.

I have paid for it all on my card to keep the payments simple for us. We will also need to be claiming for our food and basic necessities.

My question is, will ryanair kick up a fuss? Even though logically we have saved them easily €600+ by booking together in a villa rather than separate hotels at €400+.

Another question would be how does it work with me paying for 6 but only 2 being on my booking?

TIA. I wonder if this will even flag up for ryanair given the amount of claims they will be having
