Very cosy rooms with sunny outdoor area. The staff were so welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed drinks in the bar and a delicious meal in the Bistro. The location is excellent walk to everything in Town. We really felt at home here and enjoyed our time in Lightning Ridge.

The room was clean and comfy. Due to remoteness it was reasonably priced. The meals at the bistro were good and staff friendly. Overall facility was tidy, lawns mowed however the accomodation building is tired, and maintenance needed. Timber slats need repair, windows n flyscreens need cleaning, aircon unit was noisy. We were comfy and warm and would stay again.

The shower did not work, while this was repaired, half of the lights in the room didn’t work, the fridge had what looked like mould in it (can’t be sure it was to dark). The room had an unpleasant smell and just didn’t seem clean at all.

Booked and paid $205 for a deluxe room. Assigned room number 1. Bathroom basic but clean. Room it self was old and smelled earthy. Carpet tiles shrunken and stained. Bed cover stained. Thin old blanket on bed not warm enough. Receptionist rude.

The worst place I've ever stayed in . Itsdirty, old, bugs and cocroaches. Carpet old and dirty. The staff didn't bring towels and had to get it . Old used ones left on the bathroom floor. No chairs in room. So many bed lights not working or are missing. Bed linen old and terrible colours. The bed too small and wobbly for a couple. The price absolutely outrageous. $195 per night. An absolute joke. The whole place needs to be renovated or closed down. Wouldn't stay there in the future even if was for free. Me and my wife stayed there twenty years ago and it has really been run down and urgent upgrade is needed. I'd be embarrassed to recommend it to my worst enemy. Sorry but this is an honest review. The management should be ashamed for charging such high rates for such a terrible place to stay in. Love the Lightning ridge and its people but your place needs an urgent make over.
