Noise & Cleanliness Complaint · 噪音与卫生投诉

basic
You

Hi, I'm in Room 412 and I have a couple of issues I need help with. First, the room next door has been extremely loud — music and yelling until 2 AM. I couldn't sleep at all last night.

你好,我住412房间,有几个问题需要帮忙。首先,隔壁房间非常吵——音乐声和喊叫声持续到凌晨2点。我昨晚完全没法睡。

I'm so sorry to hear that, sir. We do have a quiet hours policy after 10 PM. I'll look into who was in that room and issue a warning. If it happens again tonight, please call the front desk immediately and we'll send security up right away.

非常抱歉,先生。我们有晚上10点以后的安静时段规定。我会查一下那个房间是谁并发出警告。如果今晚再发生,请立即打电话给前台,我们会马上派保安上去。

You

Thank you. The second issue is about cleanliness. When I checked in yesterday, there were stains on the bedsheets, the bathroom floor was dirty, and there were used towels left from the previous guest. It looks like the room wasn't properly cleaned.

谢谢。第二个问题是卫生方面。昨天入住时,床单上有污渍,浴室地板很脏,还有上一位客人留下的用过的毛巾。看起来房间没有被好好清洁。

That is absolutely unacceptable, and I sincerely apologize. That should never happen. I'll send housekeeping to completely remake your room with fresh linens right away. I can also have them do a deep clean while you're at breakfast. Would you like to be moved to a different room instead?

这绝对不可接受,我真诚地道歉。这不应该发生。我马上派客房服务去你的房间重新铺上全新的床品。也可以在你吃早餐时给房间做一次深度清洁。您想换一个房间吗?

You

I'd prefer to move to a different room if possible — maybe on a higher floor, away from the noisy room. Can you also make sure the new room has been properly inspected?

如果可以的话我想换个房间——最好在高一点的楼层,远离吵闹的房间。能确保新房间经过了检查吗?

Absolutely. I have a room on the 8th floor — Room 805, a corner room with a city view. It was just cleaned this morning and I'll personally inspect it before you move in. I'll also upgrade you from a standard room to a deluxe room at no extra charge as an apology.

当然可以。8楼有一间——805房间,转角房有城市景观。今天早上刚清洁过,您入住前我亲自去检查。作为道歉,我还会免费为您从标准间升级到豪华间。

You

I appreciate the upgrade. Given the terrible experience last night, I'd also like some form of compensation — maybe a discount on my stay?

感谢升级。考虑到昨晚糟糕的体验,我还希望能有某种形式的补偿——也许住宿折扣?

💡 在欧美酒店,因为服务问题要求补偿是完全合理的。用 "I'd like some form of compensation" 比较礼貌但明确。

You're absolutely right to ask. I'll credit one night's stay to your account — so you won't be charged for last night at all. I'll also add complimentary breakfast for the rest of your stay. Is there anything else I can do to make up for this?

您提出来完全合理。我会在您的账户上减免一晚的费用——昨晚的完全不收费。剩余住宿期间还为您加上免费早餐。还有什么我能做的来弥补这次经历吗?

You

That's very generous, thank you. I appreciate you taking this seriously. I'll go ahead and move to Room 805.

非常慷慨,谢谢你。感谢你认真对待这件事。我这就搬去805房间。

I'll have a bellman come to help you move your luggage. Again, I'm truly sorry for the experience. Here's my direct number — if you have any more issues at all during your stay, please call me personally. We want the rest of your stay to be perfect.

我安排一个行李员来帮你搬行李。再次为这次经历道歉。这是我的直线电话——住宿期间如果还有任何问题,请直接打给我。我们希望你剩下的住宿体验是完美的。

Refund Request & Platform Complaint · 退款与平台投诉

intermediate
You

Hello, I booked this apartment through Airbnb and I'm very disappointed. The listing showed a clean, modern apartment, but what I found is completely different — the photos are misleading.

你好,我通过Airbnb预订了这间公寓,非常失望。页面展示的是一间干净现代的公寓,但实际完全不一样——照片有误导性。

I'm sorry you feel that way. Can you be more specific about what's different from the listing?

很抱歉你这样觉得。能具体说说跟页面有什么不同吗?

You

Several things. The listing says 'air conditioning' but there's only a fan. The 'fully equipped kitchen' has no microwave and the stove doesn't work. The bathroom has mold on the walls. And the 'quiet neighborhood' — there's construction right outside starting at 7 AM.

好几个方面。页面写着"有空调"但只有一个风扇。"全配厨房"没有微波炉而且炉灶不能用。浴室墙上有霉菌。还有所谓的"安静社区"——外面早上7点就开始施工。

I understand your frustration. The construction just started this week and I wasn't aware of it. About the AC, the unit broke down last week — I have someone coming to fix it tomorrow. I can offer you a 20% discount for the inconvenience.

我理解你的不满。施工这周才开始的,我不知道。空调的话,上周坏了——我明天安排人来修。可以给你打八折来弥补不便。

You

I appreciate the offer, but honestly, a 20% discount doesn't make up for a broken stove, mold in the bathroom, and no AC in this heat. I'd like a full refund for the remaining nights. I'm going to check out tomorrow and find somewhere else to stay.

感谢你的提议,但说实话,打八折弥补不了坏炉灶、浴室霉菌和这么热没空调的情况。我想要剩余晚数的全额退款。我明天退房去找别的地方住。

I can refund the remaining nights, but I'd need you to go through the Airbnb resolution center for that. I can't do a direct refund — the platform handles it. Do you know how to open a case with Airbnb?

剩余晚数我可以退款,但需要你通过Airbnb的纠纷解决中心来操作。我不能直接退款——是平台处理的。你知道怎么在Airbnb上开一个案例吗?

You

I'll contact Airbnb support. Before I go, I want to document everything. I've taken photos of the mold, the broken stove, and the missing AC unit. Is that okay?

我会联系Airbnb客服。走之前,我想记录一切。我已经拍了霉菌、坏炉灶和没有空调的照片。可以吗?

💡 在任何住宿投诉或纠纷中,拍照留证据是最重要的一步。照片是理赔和评价的关键依据。

Yes, that's fine. I understand. Look, I'll cooperate with the Airbnb resolution process. I'll accept the refund request for the remaining nights. I apologize that the place didn't meet your expectations.

可以的,没问题。我理解。这样吧,我会配合Airbnb的处理流程。剩余晚数的退款请求我会同意。很抱歉这里没有达到你的期望。

You

I also want to be refunded for tonight since the stove and AC issues existed from day one. That means a full refund, not just the remaining nights.

我还想退今晚的费用,因为炉灶和空调问题从第一天就存在。也就是说全额退款,不只是剩余晚数。

That's something you'll need to discuss with Airbnb directly. I can agree to the remaining nights, but the first night refund would need Airbnb to step in. They usually side with the guest when there's clear evidence like photos. Open the case through the app and they'll get back to you within 24 hours.

这个你需要直接跟Airbnb讨论。剩余晚数我可以同意退,但第一晚的退款需要Airbnb介入。在有明确证据如照片的情况下,他们通常会站在客人这边。通过App开一个案例,他们24小时内会回复你。

You

Fine, I'll do that. I'll also be leaving an honest review about my experience.

好的,我会的。我也会留下一个关于我的经历的如实评价。

That's your right. Again, I'm sorry about the experience. I hope you find a better place for the rest of your trip.

那是你的权利。再次为这次经历道歉。希望你旅途接下来能找到更好的住处。
