Went to Spa Francorchamps for the 6hr and to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Booked a studio close to the circuit which was spacious and well equipped. The studio was part of a larger building with other rooms. There were about 20 Dutch staying there. No problem until the music, singing, shouting and general racket started and went on till 3am. Complained to the host and to be fair didn’t hear another peep from them. The worst part however was the mosquitos in the studio. Each time we came back I killed at least 20 that I could find but we both got bitten at least 20 times each night. My wife has more than 20 bites on her face alone. The host has apologised but doesn’t really seem to believe me. I suggested they sleep in the studio and see how they get on.
Where do I stand?

I could understand it outdoors but this was in the studio.

TBF 20 bites on your face is not funny..I’ve experienced it in hotter climbs and always take the plug in things in the bedroom and spray bug killer liberally in the room prior to going out for the evening if I suspect there’s going to be a problem.

This is utterly appalling and I would be writing to my MP about it.

I mean, people enjoying themselves and mosquitoes in a forested area with an abundance of water, simply disgraceful.

It's just not cricket I tell thee.

But in all seriousness nothing a bit of planning would have negated. A pair of ear plugs and some mossy repellant was all that was needed.
