We're currently staying in a studio apartment that I didn't realise on booking was actually the double garage of the owner's home that has been converted and is now rented out as a holiday let. It's absolutely beautiful and I'm really pleased with it, except for that there is a locked door which leads into the main house. The owners are away for the weekend and their teenage sons (I presume teenage from how they're behaving!) have got some mates around and behind this door must be some sort of games room as there's lots of chatting, swearing and every few minutes, excited shouting going on. I can hear every word and although it's only 9:30pm, we've got a one year old who, though currently sleeping, is going to be woken up any minute. They've been at it for over an hour and the peaceful evening I was looking forward to hasn't been so peaceful so far!

WIBU to knock on and ask them to quietened down? I'm getting more and more cross because we're paying £80 per night for this and thought it would be quieter than a hotel! I know it's not late but I had I known this was a possibility, I would have booked elsewhere.

YANBU. The swearing alone is grounds for complaint.

susiedaisy · 25/10/2014 21:36

Can you contact the owners and let them know. Yanbu.

SchroSawMargeryDaw · 25/10/2014 21:37

YANBU, do you have a contact number for the actual owners (parents?)? Would maybe be better going through them.

Well think of it this way, if you were in a hotel and it was other residents, would you complain? I'd say something.

Get knocking YADNBU

Was going to give them until 10pm then whatever game they're playing set one of them off in a almighty shouting fit, I thought he might be being attacked! In my PJs and DH's massive trainers I've just trudged outside and knocked on. The lad who answered the door was apologetic, I think perhaps they thought we were out as the lights are off but I explained we could hear everything and we have a baby and he said they'd keep it down. So far, silence... Result! I was just having one of those moments when I wondered whether I was expecting too much but you're right, whoever said it, I'd not even think about complaining in a hotel. If they keep up the quiet, I won't say anything to the parents when they get back as he was very polite (though the swearing I've been listening to for the last hour or so wasn't! Teenagers, eh?!) Thanks all!
