Are You a Good Neighbour?

  • When travelling the world and staying in hotels one of the challenges is noisy neighbours. How do you address the challenge when other consumers can become a problem?

    One hotel I stopped at in California had a noisy neighboiur policy and this got me thinking about whether this type of policy could work for other retailers. Could we have a policy for a pet store or garden centre where we kept neighbours happy or even a restaurant? Food for thought.

    Here is the policy and it may provide an idea to help you.
     
    Good Neigbour Policy
    If you disturb your neighbours you will be asked to leave the hotel. We do not knowingly book reservations for Batchelor, Batchelette or Birthday Parties. The hotel has a Good Neigbour Policy and does not allow gatherings in guest rooms. If the hotel receives a noise complaint from another room due to a gathering in your room or public space you will be financially responsible for the room charges of the rooms that complain. There will be no further warnings issued. No refunds will be given. Please be respectful of your neighbours.
