Room Not Clean · 房间不干净

basic
You

I just checked into my room and it hasn't been properly cleaned. There are used towels on the floor and the bed sheets look like they haven't been changed.

我刚入住,房间没有打扫干净。地上有用过的毛巾,床单看起来没换。

I'm terribly sorry about that. That's completely unacceptable. I'll send housekeeping to your room immediately. Would you prefer to wait in the lobby while they clean?

非常抱歉。这完全不可接受。我马上派客房部去您房间。您愿意在大厅等打扫好吗?

You

Actually, I'd rather just get a different room if possible. I don't feel comfortable staying in this one now.

其实如果可以的话,我想换个房间。在这个房间我不太放心了。

Of course. Let me find you a freshly cleaned room right now. I'll personally inspect it before giving you the key.

当然。我现在就给您找一间刚打扫好的房间。给您钥匙前我会亲自检查。

You

Thank you. I'm also worried about hygiene. Can you make sure the bathroom is thoroughly sanitized?

谢谢。我也担心卫生。能确保浴室彻底消毒吗?

Absolutely. I've found room 1412 — it was cleaned and inspected this morning. I'll walk you up and you can check it yourself before settling in.

当然。我找到了1412房间——今早打扫并检查过。我陪您上去,您自己看看满意再入住。

You

I appreciate that. Will you also look into why this happened?

感谢。也能调查一下为什么会这样吗?

Definitely. I'll report this to our housekeeping manager. As an apology, I'm removing tonight's room charge from your bill. This shouldn't happen at our hotel.

一定会。我会向客房部经理汇报。作为歉意,今晚房费免单。这在我们酒店不应该发生。

You

That's fair. Let's go see the new room.

很合理。那去看看新房间吧。

Daily Housekeeping Complaint · 每日清洁投诉

intermediate
You

I've been here for three days and the housekeeping quality has been inconsistent. Today they didn't replace the shampoo, and yesterday the trash wasn't emptied.

我住了三天了,打扫质量不稳定。今天洗发水没补,昨天垃圾桶没倒。

I apologize for the inconsistency. I'll notify the housekeeping supervisor and assign a senior housekeeper to your room for the remainder of your stay.

为质量不稳定道歉。我会通知客房主管,安排资深清洁员负责您的房间直到退房。

You

Also, I put the 'Do Not Disturb' sign out yesterday morning, but housekeeping still knocked and tried to come in.

而且,昨天早上我挂了「请勿打扰」牌,但清洁员还是敲门想进来。

That's a serious policy violation. Our staff must always respect the Do Not Disturb sign. I'll address this with the team directly. Is there a preferred time for cleaning?

这违反了政策。我们的员工必须尊重「请勿打扰」牌。我会直接跟团队沟通。您希望什么时间打扫?

You

Between 1 and 3 PM would be best. We're usually out sightseeing then.

下午1点到3点最好。那时我们通常出去观光。

I'll note that in your preferences. Housekeeping will come between 1 and 3 PM only. I've also added extra toiletries and a fresh fruit basket to your room as an apology.

我记下了。客房部只在1到3点之间来。我还送了额外的洗漱用品和新鲜水果篮到您房间表示歉意。

You

Thank you. One more thing — can we get extra pillows? There are only two and we could really use four.

谢谢。还有一件事——能多给几个枕头吗?只有两个,我们需要四个。

I'll have two extra pillows brought up right away. Soft, medium, or firm? We have a pillow menu.

马上送两个枕头上去。软的、中等还是硬的?我们有枕头选单。

One soft and one firm, please. Thank you for addressing everything.

一个软的一个硬的。谢谢处理这些问题。
