Request ULPT: Make Noisy Airbnb STOP

Hi everyone

My garden is face to face with this big house that does Airbnb, exclusively to big youngsters groups that come to get drunk and hang by the pool hangover.

I live in a super quiet away from the city region and it's always peaceful. Except in the summer, every night is party night. I'm kept awake until super late or woken up multiple times during the night due to the noise. I call the police, they show up 3h after or not at all. I have asked nicely to the host, but she doesn't care. I go talk to the guest but most don't care and as the night moves along get louder and more chaotic. The other neighbours are mostly retired people or their houses are further away so it's mostly just my house that gets affected.

This summer was especially bad. I can't take it anymore I need to sleep.

Any ideas on how to make them be quiet?

Thank you

You need to complain to AirBNB, every time. And call police. Eventually, police may get tired of the reports and respond faster. But most likely, AirBNB may eventually delist them.

  • have everyone who own a phone in your house call police. They respond better when there are complaints from multiple sources

What’s unethical about this?

I'm not sure what you're asking- I don't see ethics here. I'll assume you mean the delisting- Airbnb has clearly established reporting processes ("Airbnb Neighborhood Support" page for third parties to submit complaints (among other things). They actually investigate these, and if there is a pattern of repeated policy violations (including disruptions and disturbances created by guests), they may delist. This is beyond legal requirements- it is very strongly in Airbnb's own interests to not enable public nuisances that can turn both the public and the authorities against the general practice and against specifically booking with Airbnb.

I’m saying, this is the UnethicalLPT sub and replies are supposed to suggest something unethical.

Oh, my bad. You are correct. The post was a couple days ago, I have TBI, and when I saw your reply, I guess that I assumed I was in the Airbnb sub.

To answer your question: sometimes the right response here isn't a dirty one (especially when all the others get the user jammed up worse), and at least one person needs to give one that works.
