On a lovely holiday in Greece. We are staying in a small, family friendly apartment complex with only 8 apartments. Everyone has been so considerate, no noise, quiet around the pool, just generally nice and chilled.
Yesterday, two middle aged women and a teenage boy arrived and have been put in the apartment next to ours. We’ve had gangsta rap at full volume yesterday afternoon, this morning the women are chain smoking on the balcony (which is only separated by a glass screen), burping loudly, discussing their sex lives and every other word is ‘Fuck’.
Why? What makes them think it’s ok to be inconsiderate? Just hoping they’re only here a week!

Have you any updates. This sounds awful x

I'd rather move than put up with these idiots, as long as the accomodation are fine.

Keep reporting, some people are just anti-social nuisance. If it makes you feel better, they are somebody's neighbour.

DeRigueurMortis · 13/07/2019 16:52

How awful for you.

My guess is they see nothing wrong with their behaviour because that's how they behave normally - completely lacking in any social graces.

You should absolutely not have to put up with it.

If you get the opportunity I'd record the noise/language from your balcony to show to the hotel manager.

I'm not adverse to swearing in RL but there's not way I'd use inappropriate language on a semi-private balcony near to others (irrespective of whether they had children or not - thought it's obviously worse if they do).

Hope you get it resolved. They sound like utter thugs.

I hope the management have spoken to them and it's done the trick.

Aftertheparty · 13/07/2019 16:57

Well, it’s reasonably quiet at the moment, they are talking loudly on their balcony but that’s fine, I’m not against all noise completely, they have a right to enjoy their holiday the same as us. We’ve gone out for the evening now, let’s see what tonight brings!

Good luck! Have a lovely evening.

Blankspace4 · 13/07/2019 17:01

TUI and the hotel / complex owners really should take this seriously. The noise, abuse and vandalism just aren’t on. I really do despair of people sometimes!!!

Marmozet · 13/07/2019 17:01

Perhaps knocked on the door of those staying in the apartment the other side of these people? See if they are suffering and would be also willing to complain to management and then would put more pressure on them.

RebootYourEngine · 13/07/2019 17:02

This would annoy me.

The management should have asked them to leave by now.

proseccoandbooks · 13/07/2019 17:06

This is not inconsiderate- this is pure stupidity. People just get crazier and crazier nowadays.

Were they quiet overnight OP?

Aftertheparty · 14/07/2019 07:06

Nope! 2.30ish they came back, laughing loudly, singing, talking at the tops of their voices and then dragging furniture around and generally making noise. Someone from the apartment opposite shouted across for them to be quiet and around 3.40am it did.
So no doubt there’ll be more complaints about them today. They obviously will not listen, I’m not one for ‘tit for tat’ stuff but the temptation to bang about a bit when we get up is strong...

God, OP, this sounds awful. What utter assholes. They really should be told to leave, as you're going to feel uneasy the rest of your stay with them next door. Completely unacceptable behaviour, and shouldn't be tolerated. More places need to adopt a no tolerance policy to any sort of antisocial behaviours, which affect other paying customers, as it would encourage people to pay a little more respect. Hope things improve for you and you get to enjoy the rest of your holiday. X

Poloshot · 14/07/2019 07:27

Hope you get this resolved sounds like the rep was just giving you lip service

Rosielily · 14/07/2019 07:34

Can you speak to the people who told them to be quiet and escalate your complaint together? This shouldn't really be happening on holiday should it? Do you have an emergency contact number for Tui locally who you can raise this with? What has your rep actually said/done?

I hope you have a more peaceful day today.

Sodamncaughtinthemiddle · 14/07/2019 07:44

I would keep on complaining
Thats awful behavior

QOD · 14/07/2019 07:47

Oh what a nightmare ☹️

Electrocute1980 · 14/07/2019 08:02

Feel so sorry for you, this sounds awful. I really hope there are more complaints about them today and they get asked to leave!

KatherineJaneway · 14/07/2019 09:42

They really are scum Sad

user12345796 · 14/07/2019 09:57

this isn't inconsiderate, this is threatening behaviour and you should ask to be moved today and the spoilt nights refunded. This is the kind of behaviour you would expect if you were remanded in custody, not on an expensive holiday that you have looked forward to.

DanielRicciardosSmile · 14/07/2019 10:05

Hopefully more complaints will mean the manager has to do something. Surely better to kick one group out than potentially have to refund seven groups?

Candymay · 14/07/2019 10:44

Just a little story this brings to mind- years ago I was single mum with my son and stayed in a little guest house in Greece. After the first couple of nights another mum and son (two adults) came to stay in the room opposite. That night there was some sort of loud altercation and the end result was their front door was broken off it’s hinges. The main thing that sticks in my mind about this was that the couple seemed to think absolutely nothing of this vandalism- it was a completely normal end to a night as far as their attitude showed!

In my case we were lucky that it was just a bit of extra noise and didn’t impinge on our holiday particularly. It was just a pretty little family guesthouse and I felt embarrassed to be English! I really hope the management move the people away from you. Good luck!

ShinyMe · 14/07/2019 14:30

Any progress today OP? Please say you have been and complained again. They sound awful.

Aftertheparty · 14/07/2019 16:34

I saw the day manageress who asked if we’d had any more noise overnight so I told her yes, it was a repeat performance of the night before. She said that they’d not been over to the main part of the hotel so she’d not seen them. I take it they’ve not been spoken to at all then I said. No, I’ll leave a note for the main man who comes for the evenings to have a word.
I think when they start tonight I’ll dress and go over the main block to get the security guy. It’s the only way.
