===> Thanks for arranging these bungalows for us, Ben.

arrange　手配する
「ものを秩序ある状態にする」という基本的な意味から派生して、「整理する」「きちんと並べる」などの意味になります。「手配する」も「手はずを整える」と言い換えれば基本的な意味から推測しやすいでしょう。

Ben:
△Sure. I felt in love with this place when my fishing buddies and I stayed here a few years ago.
===> Sure. I fell in love with this place when my fishing buddies and I stayed here a few years ago.

Judy:
△Yeah, this place costs about a third rest when I was expecting the pay for a week at tropical island resort.
===> Yeah, this place costs about a third less than I was expecting to pay for a week at a tropical island resort.

「a third」「one-third」で3分の1です。
ちなみに3分の2は「two-thirds」。thirdが複数形になります。

Ben:
△It's diffenently a bargain. And the electricity almost always works, as I recall.
===> It's definitely a bargain. And the electricity almost always works, as I recall.

definitely　絶対に
