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...).

AustraliaThe rooms were in need of a bit of renovation. Broken pane of glass, missing light shade, few cobwebs from ceiling with a few spiders. Food at restaurant was expensive.

AustraliaNeeds a BIG clean. Needs fly screens on all windows and a general spruce up of curtains and windows (most of which were falling apart).
Lovely old world pub feel and great location for Port Arthur and other nearby attractions. The food in the restaurant was fabulous and the service there was spot on. Staff all very professional and friendly.

AustraliaThe day before our arrival the hotel advised via email that the tavern would be closed on Christmas Day (except for an buffet lunch offering for more than $100pp). This was quite disappointing as: i) the limited dining options and early closure were not advertised on the website; ii) the limited dining options and early closure were not advertised until after the cancellation period; iii) we did actually receive the mail until we arrived to check-in (by which time the buffet was basically over); iv) it resulted in us being unable to purchase dinner (because everywhere in Port Arthur unexpectedly closed by 3pm); and v) it meant we spent Christmas night alone in a motel room. In short, if you are staying mainly for the tavern, I recommend confirming that it will actually be open as the rooms themselves are just typical motel rooms.
The location is great, and the room was a decent size with a nice view (although quite basic as noted in other reviews). The historical tavern is nice, but the food is quite expensive.

AustraliaWe had lots of flies in the room. The outside lights shone in through the kitchen window even though there was a blind. The bathroom fan was very noisy and the light flickered. One of the bedside lights didn’t work. The curtains were tired and dirty. There was no seal around the door which also let in light. The fridge froze our bottle of soft drink.
Our room had a beautiful view. The water wasn’t drinkable so we were provided with ample bottled water. The bed was comfortable and clean. The towels plentiful too. The restaurant was good.

AustraliaWe went for a wander around the grounds and found a dumping site for rubbish they’d previously disposed of after renovating the units - couches, fridges - a bit messy considering they are in quite a pretty spot.
For newbies to Port Arthur, there is no township as such. Basically just pick something and go with it. This hotel met the needs and would easily accommodate family of 5 - provided a bed and had dinner on site. Potable water to cabins, but water bottles provided, so all good there.

AustraliaIt would be good if they did Breakfast in the dining room as there were very few alternatives in what is a remote and basically rural area. I doubt they would be at any risk of non attendance if they did, in fact, i believe they would be as busy as they were with dinners
it all went well, and the food in the dining room was excellent value for money, and very delicious. the beds were comfortable and the decor was simple, but clean and recently painted. Staff were friendly and helpful
