Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustraliaRoad was very busy, so could be a bit noisy if you had a room at the front.
Good location, handy to nearby theatre and excellent eateries. Also nice touch to have cereal and milk provided. Liked the retro look about the motel. Andies restaurant/bar on the premises is a bonus.

AustraliaInstructions in room said it could be made up in am if tag hanging on the door, but no tag to hang on door. cutlery & glassware needed auditing as only one knife, multiple forks, only 1 wine and 1 champagne glass. I wouldn't recommend room 1 as early am people bashing suitcases, loud kids and voices on stairs outside door from 6am. there is a restaurant at motel, so parking hard later in day outside room. Our room was an interconnecting and not very soundproof, could hear next door TV and occupant coughed most of the night. ( i know, beyond hotels control)
Very clean, bed comfy, good hot water service. Close to everything, walked to a couple of great restaurants... italian onsite, japanese 50 m away and duck heaven 150m , close walk to beach

AustraliaParking spaces are (too) narrow.
The Deluxe Queen room was a great option with unbeatable value. Very comfortable large bed, spacious apartment, very usable kitchenette. Can easily live here for a week. Many nearby food options. I had room 10 at the back of the property and had no road noise at all.

AustraliaThe decor is dated but you are aware of that from the information on line. The bathroom is very small with very little storage/shelf space/hooks - these accessories could be easily added.
Location near Anita’s theatre and restaurants was very convenient. It was very clean and bed was comfortable. It was surprisingly very quiet despite location on a busy road. On-site parking was great. The room is actually quite spacious with room for a small table and couch.

AustraliaThe property was old fashioned and partially renovated. Walls were thin, so you hear everything from the neighbours on all sides. There were cockroaches in the cupboard, which I only discovered after I had made a cup of tea. The amount of toilet paper was very mean (not enough for an overnight stay for 2 adults) and there were no staff on site to get some more paper from
Bed was comfortable and shower pressure was good. Towels were fine
