The facts in this riddle are clear: There is an initial €30 charge. It should have been €25, so €5 must be returned and accounted for. €3 is given to the 3 friends, €2 is kept by the bellhop - there you have the €5.
The trick to this riddle is that the addition and subtraction are done at the wrong times to misdirect your thinking - and quite successfully for most.
Each of the 3 friends did indeed pay €9, not €10, and as far as the friends are concerned, they paid €27 for the night. But we know that the clerk will tell us that they were charged only €25 and when you add the €3 returned with the €2 kept by the bellhop, you come up with €30.
