Old but clean rooms. We were well looked after by all staff members. Microwave oven would of been good as lacking in cooking facilities. We stayed 9 nights whilst waiting for caravan repairs. Would stay there again. ##### David Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Polly May 9, 2023 Liked: Staff & service It was okay. Just hard to get into but then it’s really secure. Didn’t like the bond of $200 as there was nothing in the rooms that was worth the bond it pretty basic staff were lovely overall a good place to stay if your not sure of the outback town. ##### Polly Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Graham Oct 13, 2023 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Good location. Grumpy man demander a $200 security deposit. Rooms not very well equiped. Friday night music from the hotel was terrible. Could not watch tv or talk on phone. Music went till after 12.00 then patrons spilled out into car park making a lot of noise till about 2.00 ##### Graham Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### ANDREW Sep 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Staff have no eye for detail and not much experience with customer service. Lunch was very nice. ##### ANDREW Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Alex Aug 23, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities We had two rooms at this property. The property is very old and requires repairs; holes in walls, peeling paint, broken tiles, broken bathroom fixtures. Blood on the wall in one room. Beds old and not in great condition. Shower drain blocked in one of our two rooms. Bedding and linen clean and fresh. Water was hot. Very limited options in Derby. ##### Alex Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Terrence Mar 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Home away from home ##### Terrence Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Amy Feb 16, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The drains were blocked in the bathroom. The floor was dirty. The pool did not look swimmable so didn’t risk it. We will not be staying here again. We don’t usually care to much for where we stay, not much bothers us but definitely won’t be back. ##### Amy Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Mark Dec 17, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Couldn’t get access to property. Had to ring 7 times and ultimately jumped the fence and spoke with another resident to find the manager. Accommodation air cons not on so rooms hot for a long time. White ants in the skirting boards and pool green ##### Mark Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Elizabeth Sep 27, 2024 Liked: Staff & service I booked 2 rooms on Wednesday 25 September for my husband and me and the second room for an 83 year old gentleman. We were taking him to Derby to visit his old mate who is in a nursing. When we went to pick him up, he was ill and couldn’t go. When we got to Derby, we went immediately to the Boab Inn and explained the situation- they would not give us a refund or even move the booking to a different date. I was told to contact Hotel.com which I did. They said they would contact the owners and get back to me. I have heart nothing- needless to say we are pensioners and can’t afford to throw money away. There was no empathy or compassion! I am extremely disappointed with Hotel.com and the Boab Inn. ##### Elizabeth Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Leanne Sep 9, 2024 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities No working TV in the room as advertised. We moved room but still the TV was not working. Rooms were in need of maintenance. Reception was quite difficult to get hold of. Would not stay there again or recommend it to anyone. ##### Leanne Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Darelle Sep 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The property is old but clean and tidy flood damaged skirting boards?

Reception was supposed to be open 7am till 10pm manager finally arrived after 12 noon as for the pool non excestant I didn'tsee one.The front door of the unit was rotten at the bottom and the vinyl was lifting the courtyard was ripped up and had to drive around a large hole. This was a total disaster I would not recommend to my worst enemy. Please take this establishment off your books. There is no minus stars to give. There should be. In my opinion it doses not meet minimum standards for any accommodation ##### Mark Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Septu Jan 20, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Manager was rude and very poor people skills.

Unable to check in at reception - 1 x Eftpos machine shared between reception and bottle shop, check in completed in bottle shop. ##### Liz Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### anthony Aug 29, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Everything ##### anthony Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jo-Ann Jun 26, 2023 While the rooms we booked were clean, and the accommodation was relatively inexpensive, it was not the greatest motel. We were not able to get rooms close to each other; the fridge in one room had such a bad ice build up that the door didn't close, and the laundry only had one functioning washing machine, which was very busy. On check-in, we asked a question about the area, and were told there were no brochures. We were also not advised that the dining room would not be open that evening. Overall, it was a place to sleep, but not a great experience. OK sums it up. ##### Jo-Ann Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Mary-Ellen Oct 23, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort Very disappointed. Good bed but the rest was very very ordinary. Not a chair to sit on. More like a donga in a mining camp. We wouldn’t return. ##### Mary-Ellen Stayed 1 night in Oct 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Desmond Jun 29, 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had booked and paid for two rooms via Expedia. As it turned out, the facility was closed down due to lack of staff and we were not informed of this. We then had to find alternative accommodation. All efforts to get a refund from either Boab Inn or Expedia have to date been unsuccessful. The Boab Inn has since contacted us and we have been told that the refund has to come via Expedia as the original booking was made through them. No assistance has been offered from Boab Inn. ##### Desmond Stayed 1 night in Jun 2022
