If I call the police the owners of the condo do not suffer any repercussions, the tourists making the noise might get fined and maybe they learn a lesson maybe not, either way a new batch of tourists arrives a few days later and I have to go through the same ordeal. If the owners were the ones making the noise I could call the cops on them, they would get fined repeatedly and after sometime a judge might get fed up and put them in jail, see the difference?



The tourists will leave negative reviews causing that listing to become unviable. They might also complain to AirBnB who might remove the listing (though this seems unlikely..)


This could actually be pretty effective. Airbnb is very quick about disappearing anything from their platform with a less than perfect rating.

I discovered this after stumbling across some darkly funny bad reviews and then diving into their API to look for more of the same.

..Not that I am neither condoning nor condemning finding a way to dock the property a star over time. Personally I'm pretty tolerant of happy neighbourly noise - I like to feel like I have life around me, and I have a fairly good memory of how loud a neighbor I was when I was younger.
