Two Irish Festival Bros Booked Our Family-home Room And Party Till Sunrise

Card image cap

Location: Netherlands

My partner (33F) and I (33M) rent one bedroom in our family house in a Dutch beach town. Normally I get quiet German couples who switch off the lights at ten. This weekend the algorithm gifted me two Irish lads on a four-day trance festival.

This is how the check-in yesterday at 3PM went: heavy beer breath, one guy with the classic white powder moustache, and our steep Dutch stairs already looked like Everest to them.

The house is compact and cozy. Their room and the shared bathroom are on the first floor, my girlfriend and I sleep right above them on the second. Same hallway, same front door.

At 06:30 this morning I left for a run and heard them talking at full volume. An hour later I came back, still the same chat. I knocked, thirty seconds of shuffling and then one of them opened the door with “Were we too loud?” I asked if they could lower their voices which they did.

They are here four more nights. Part of me laughs (nothing is broken yet) and I knew from the start there one day we could get a booking like this. The rest of me is bracing for five days of drunk and probably high festival energy drifting through the hallway while we try to keep a quiet vibe. They have not damaged anything, so I am not sure I have a solid reason to cancel the booking. But it feels like everyone would be happier if they found a place made for after-parties instead of our home.

What would you do in my place?
