Guest Reviews
- Shane (10/5): - all ok
- David (10/5): - Friendly welcome from staff, nice cosy room, very clean!
- David (10/5): - Great location, friendly staff… perfect place to stay
- Jessica (6/5): - It was freezing cold internet didn't work hardly heater was more like a cold fan.
- Angela (8/5): - Very basic room, clean but needs some updates. Excellent location and friendly staff
- Chris (6/5): - Proximity to all
- Leon (10/5): - Owner could not be more helpful I had a vehicle breakdown and was stuck in town 40kilometres away and I rang to say I would be in late and she offered to come pick me up brilliant
- Troy (10/5): Excellent Getaway to Lakes Entrance - Fantastic location. Excellent self contained room with kitchenette. Walking distance to beach and shops/restaurants. Really enjoyed our stay. Kids loved the resident dog Fyfe.
- Kamaljit (8/5): - Near to beach and shops
- REMY (8/5): Good location - Great little spot right on the Main Street. Very close to playground & shops.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location! Central to local activities
- Michael (10/5): Perfect for our needs. - Very much met our expectations and our needs. Will use them again soon.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Loved the proximity to the water and restaurants. there was nothing I didnt like
- Peter (8/5): Well placed motel - The motel is one of many on the strip - I counted four between the coach stop & this one - but the only other things was a church & a restaurant. The motel was good & the staff particularly helpful.
- Sergey (8/5): Great owners - The property is small but the room was clean and looked after by the owners. The owner was very welcoming and helpful and waited for us in spite of us arriving quite late. Neighbours were rather loud at night and you can here everything if Neighbours speak loudly at night without thinking of others. You can only hope you get sensible guests who care about Neighbours at night and do not talk loudly. Other than that it's a good stop for 1 or a couple of nights at a very reasonable price right in the centre of the town.

- Tosh (4/5): - Advertised as $2 breakfast on booking. On check in, asked us to pay for $2 per item or $ 13 for full breakfast per person. Useless wifi..The code needs to renew every 24 hrs. Towels, bedsheets, Duvets were not clean. Pillows & mattress totally uncomfortable Parking spaces are very small. Lot of noise from the road traffic

- Verified traveler (6/5): - Close to beach. Courteous staff. Rooms are small.Parking is congested and risk of damaging car!
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Facilities a little old. Air con not working and internet unreliable. Good position and staff helpful. Living room sofa the most uncomfortable chaise we have ever encountered.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - Very Disappointed I haven’t got any thing else to say sorry
- Lala (6/5): - Room was very clean. Booked for double and 2 single beds. 1 single ended up being a fold out bed and was like a concrete slab, had to put other beds doona and towels on it to soften it up. Children complained about sleeping on it(we made them take turns). It also had a itchy wool blanket on it. Had to pull table out so we could use the only 2 chairs in the room. We pay for 4 people but not enough towels or crockery. Limited amount of WIFI. Rooms don’t get serviced but we got 2 clean towels the second day and the third day we got 4 clean towels. There is a BBQ but no utensils. Hotel is well maintained.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Pros • lots of places to eat very close by. Especially their local fish. • Close to the beach and right in the heart of Lakes Entrance. Cons • Very limited facility for the price. • Small parking spots
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice room . Friendly staff. Great location . Will coming back for next visit
- Ina (10/5): - The motel is old but has been refurbished. It was comfortable with every thing we needed. Staff was very friendly and helpful
- Gary (10/5): It's where we stay when we can! - lakeside, on the main strip just on the edge of town. Comfy, nice price. Walking distance to everything.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Room was clean with fridge n other facilities but was too small n was too near to the main road so we upgraded to a bigger room by paying extra but that room the toilets we could the other room people coughing n everything they were doing in the bath while I guess they could hear us too room was clean though
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Friendly staff and recommend to others Close to all amenities
- Allan (8/5): Top Spot - Excellent location. Most helpful staff. Clean and comfortable. Value for money. Plenty of eating options moments away.
- pat (6/5): Great location but no value - Rooms very small, you can't fit your car in the parking bay if hotel fully booked. Only a microwave and dirty dishes. Had to request more towels as only received 2 for 4 people. We had 2 small kids (9 and 10) they slept in the kitchen, that's was 2nd room. Surcharges for everything (have to leave it better than when you arrive).
- Verified traveler (6/5): Perfect location. - The only thing we really weren’t happy with was the main bed it was very hard.
- Shaun (8/5): - For the price, you can’t complsin. It’s simple and dated but it’s clean and functionable. Served its purpose for my needs, which was just somewhere to stay while fishing the area. I’d come back.
- Verified traveler (6/5): 3/5 - Pleasant check in. = 1 * Room cleanliness = 1 * Overall experience = 1 * Small but functional room & amenities were acceptable for the price = .5 * 3.5 / 5 for us :)
- Verified traveler (8/5): Overnight stay - This was an overnight stay. Checkin was efficient with some help on the local area and what to see. The room was very minimal. The shower worked well as will as wifi. The bathroom was very small hardly one person to turn around. The location was good and wifi worked well. The place is very dated. Old bedding etc.
- Don (6/5): basic hotel - Aircon only covers main bedroom. Wifi does cover all rooms.
- Ying (8/5): - Friendly staff, good location.
- Greg (4/5): Very basic hotel for overnight only - Noisy front room. Facilities were basic but it was very clean. Avoid Room 3 as it is close to busy highway. Close to shops etc
- Verified traveler (6/5): Close to the beach - Ok motel for a short stay. Could do with a cosmetic update.
- kathy and karen (10/5): Very clean and close to beach and shop - Value for money close to shops no need for a car walking distance to beach ! Overt great little motel . Would go back again
- Rajinder (10/5): Very nice place to stay, close to beach and shops - We spent 2 nights over there. Fantastic experience, nice and clean rooms, quick check in. Overall very nice place.
- Bill (8/5): Very friendly staff - Close to centre of town but relatively quiet. Ideal for one or two night stopover.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Nice basic accomodation perfect for short stays would not want to be staying for more than a few day. However the staff we very nice to deal with.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Clean and comfortable overnight stay at a reasonable cost
- Lisa (10/5): great value - Best room I've stayed at in a long time, big room, air-con worked great, spotless. Absolutely recommend them.
- Anand (8/5): - The location of the hotel is excellent. It is fronting the lake and close to shops, restaurants and other attractions. The staff was excellent and looked after all our needs. It is the best you could get for that budget range.
- Anne (6/5): Too many rules and potential fines - A bit like Fawlty Towers, when you have pages of rules its time to retire from the motel game. Room was nice, comfy and no problems and the owner was friendly. We sent 20 minutes checking before we left that the key was in the right place, that the inside door was open, the screen door was locked and so on. We are good law abiding citizens and we got the feeling that we were all naughty kids who coudlnt be trusted.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great little break - Very friendly family owned motel. Comfortable bed and clean room. Close to all amenities, didn't have to move the car
- KP (8/5): Budget - Budget motel, no frills, but everything works, very comfortable, great location and excellent owners.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Small room, a bit outdated but good value for the price.
- John (8/5): Very centrally located. - Stayed over night with my family of 2 kids and we had a suite booked. The room was nice and comfortable.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Comfortable overnight stay - This was our second stay at Bamboo Inn. The room rates are very competitive and the hotel is very centrally located with respect to the waterfront. The room (suite) was comfortable and well appointed and we had a very nice over night stay.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Staff were friendly and informative. Room and bathroom were clean with fresh towels each day.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Good experience, helpful staff, clean and comfortable room, bed a little hard but would stay here again.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Great hosts and an excellent reasonably priced breakfast. Comfortable beds
- Jurnee (6/5): OK for a night - Very basic motel room. The room and bathroom are small and it's about on par with a Motel 6 but the location is good and the price is OK for an area that's on the expensive side. Only 2 devices are allowed per password on WiFi so get more passwords if you have more devices. Manager was nice.
- mike (8/5): Bamboo motor inn Lakes entrance. - Old motel in great position, suited all our needs for over night stay.Manager very helpful and friendly.
- Graeme (6/5): affordable, but you get what you pay for - needed a place to stay for a few days to chill out, and this one was downtown, affordable and within walking distance to everywhere.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Noisy as very near road
- Tim (8/5): Spot on. - A very good motel at the price break, easy to find right, on the waterfront. In easy reach of several good places to eat and the host was well informed about the amenities. His recommendation for a venue for an evening meal, was taken up and did not disappoint, a stunningly good meal at a sensible price.
- RAMESH (6/5): Nice Location, close to shops - Rooms ok, for a family of 4 , for low budget. Did not like the loud noise of AIR CONDITION running very close to the cot just beside head rest, disturbed sleep at summer night .
- Petal Power27 (6/5): Clean and convenient - Family style room, unusual set up, would not be comfortable for a longer stay, a lounge would be more suitable at the front rather than single bed, TV location made it difficult to watch for relaxation, no soap in shower
- Verified traveler (6/5): Clean and cosy for a one nighter - We booked this motel because it was cheap and all that was available for a last minute getaway. If all you need is a one night room or stop off for a road trip then this is fine. Owner was lovely, its in a good location to walk down the street or along the water that is just across the road. We were near the road side of the hotel so i would recommend earplugs if your a light sleeper as it is a busy road. Overall basic, clean, cosy room.
- Verified traveler (2/5): Bad hotel room. - Cramped tiny room with bad layout. Bathroom basin next to bed. Poor parking space that is cramped. No soap. One towel between 3 people. Bad all round. Waste of money.
- Steve (6/5): - Very old needs renovating
- Sarah (8/5): Central to town, value for money - Comfortable room,parking spaces too small
- Verified traveler (10/5): very nice motel - very helpful and friendly close to everything good parking
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Stay was pleasant. They couldn't accomodate for a late checkout though
- Verified traveler (4/5): Needs a lot of love! - The best thing about this motel was its friendly owners. It is well situated. Unfortunately the motel needs a lot of love. Maybe a knockdown and rebuild. Might be okay for a single traveler or a couple, but not a family of 5.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Friendly staff and extremely helpful - Staff were friendly and extremely helpful. Close walking distance to shops and lake
- Verified traveler (6/5): Good location & comfortable room - The location of the motel is great as everything is pretty much within walking distance. The room was quite spacious & comfortable as well.
- Traveller (4/5): Friendly but disappointing - Paid extra to have second bed but the rollaway was very basic and uncomfortable. Could not even sit on the couch because it had no padding left. Front desk was very friendly and location was good but overall room was fairly grubby.
- Alf & Joan (8/5): Good location, adequate facilities. - We had car concerns & he recommended a good mechanic. Our hot breakfast was lovely. They were most pleasant to deal with.
