2/10 Poor

Not sure why they always use as pet friendly room the disgusting rooms even when they charge too much.

Christopher, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The welcome was refreshing and kind, local knowledge helped find a nice place to eat in town. Room and facilities very clean and well appointed. Would recommend it for a nice clean room to relax and revive between places
Garth, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The property doesn’t look like it has had any remodeling one since it was built and it wasn’t built yesterday. Very ordinary, and it is situated between the highway and the railway line. the highway is busy at night with trucks. the cook was off sick and the owner (breakfast cook) was on holidays. Understandably is was cheap, and booked up for 3 weeks. Not what i would call the cleanest establishment either. The staff were friendly.

Eva, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

A necessary stay en route to Melbourne but Bordertown deserves better. Cost was exactly the same as a far superior room at Robe- no comparison.

Nice to find accomodation that is disabled friendly. Very pleased with our stay.
