A guest named Sarah booked a 3-night stay at one of our managed properties in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. At 2:00 AM on her second night, she messaged me on Airbnb:
"Hi, I'm really sorry to bother you this late, but the neighbors in the apartment next door are having a loud party. I have an important work meeting at 8 AM tomorrow and I cannot sleep. Can you please do something about this? I'm really frustrated."

Subject: Re: Noise Complaint — Ulaanbaatar
Hi Sarah,
Thank you for bringing this to my attention, and I am so sorry you're dealing with this noise at 2 AM. That is the last thing anyone should experience during a stay, especially when you have an important meeting tomorrow.
Here is what I am doing right now:
1. I have contacted the neighbor and asked them to lower the noise immediately. I've also reminded them of the building's quiet hours policy (10 PM – 7 AM).
2. I have contacted the building security and asked them to do a wellness check on the unit to ensure the noise stops.
3. As a gesture of goodwill, I have issued a 20% refund for tonight's stay. You should see this reflected in your Airbnb account within 24 hours.
4. If the noise continues, I have arranged for you to move to a quieter unit in the same building tomorrow morning at 9 AM. I will send you the new unit details as soon as possible.
Please let me know if the noise continues, and I will take further action immediately. I will also follow up with you at 8 AM to make sure you were able to get some rest.
Again, I sincerely apologize for this inconvenience. Your comfort is my top priority.
Best regards,
Miracle.
