[I refuse] to give up my home office for my partners visiting friends who decided to extend their stay by a week

While many people in this world are affluent enough to have both a home office and a guest room, many others are forced to combine their efforts because of a lack of sufficient bedrooms. However, when you work from home, and your office is an established work area in your house, there's no reason why you should be forced to share.
The entitlement and blatant disrespect from these two “friends” become clear when they start complaining about the lack of amenities in their friend's house. If you wanted 24hr room service, a walk-in spa, and your own bedroom space for your vacation, perhaps you shouldn't have been so cheap and could have splurged on a hotel instead of bombarding your friends' house with bad reviews.

In my opinion, if anyone is willing to host you in their house for more than a day, that should be repaid with respect and appreciation, not complaints, messes, and tyranny.
Mutual respect is a critical component of long-term friendships, so this might have caused a rift in an otherwise comfortable relationship because these friends found their buddy's job and well-being to be secondary to their freeloading comfort. Although their partner should have backed them up, this work-from-home employee refused to concede any in-house territory to the tyrants on the pull-out couch, forcing them to reconsider their vacation time and learn to respect other people's homes.
