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...).

AustraliaA nicely decorated, comfortable and bright room, close to shops and restaurants/cafes as well as beach walks and the tidal pool. The kitchenette was invaluable and great to see sustainability measures being taken. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this motel to others.

A small but nicely decorated room, perfect for a night or two while driving around Kangaroo Island.

AustraliaThe room is spacious, clean, and equipped with everything we need. However, it's worth noting that there is no toaster, toothpaste, or toothbrush provided, which is ok for us. The location is fantastic, close to the tidal swimming pool, cafes, and jetty. The staff are nice and polite. The only complaint I have is that the kettle wasn't quite clean enough for my liking.

SpainThe lights on the baranda/garden.are on during the whole night, so the room gets never dark, which can.be a bit annoying for some pitch dark sleepers. There are no restaurant/kitchen options within the motel.
Well located, close to the main.street, with cafés, restaurants and the tidal pool across the road. Very clean, with good heating/aircon and a coffee machine in the room. Nice garden to.eat or have your morning coffee.

AustraliaWe would have loved more curtains. If we had them open, other guests could look straight into our room when the walked past and when they were closed they did not block out the light at night. If you like to sleep in darkness, pack an eye mask.
Gorgeous motel, in a great location. Very welcoming staff and free parking. Rooms have been lovingly renovated.

United KingdomThe small kitchen has no actual cooking facilities - no oven or microwave, no plates or cutlery - but there is a sink, fridge and glasses. Shame, because it would make the room much more self sufficient.
Excellent location, easy stroll to sea pool, beachfront as well as local shops and cafes. Clean, modern room and good en-suite shower, etc.

United KingdomOverall, we had a great stay but the bed wasn't the most comfortable to sleep on.
We had a garden-view room with two double beds and a nice bathroom. I liked the aesthetics of the room. In the room, there was also a fridge and a kitchen sink but no microwave - which would have been useful since many places in Kangaroo Island close early for dinner. Near the motel, there are a few cafes and restaurants and a nice seafront walk. We arrived late so we had to arrange for a late check-in so our keys were left in a lockbox with instructions sent in an email.

United KingdomLovely motel, with clean, modern rooms. The room was a great size and was stocked with tea and coffee. The lady at reception was very friendly and helpful, and gave us lots of info on what to do on the Island. Location wise, there isnt much around the motel, but thats pretty standard for Kangaroo Island as its very quiet (and huge - prepare for lots of driving)
