Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Friendly service, good meal at restaurant and tray breakfast provided to room to allow early start. BUT, charged $190 for a room - admittedly booked at lunch time the same day but still overpriced for Lithgow and for a room that is getting tired. Will be staying elsewhere on my next visit to Lithgow.

I have stayed here before, and management are so friendly and will go out of their way to help you. I have stayed in so many places in the last 2 months for work and it was the most comfortable, spacious, cleanest and just a lovely place to stay. The fire place in the dining room is just so special.

Dear Emma and Corey, Our group, the Harris Family, would like to thank you so much for your hospitality we experienced on the weekend of May 19th & 20th. Our group stayed with your motel for our son's wedding and you all went above and beyond to make sure our stay was delightful and it was! Your service was impeccable and the cooking fabulous! Thank you so much for creating our private dinner function when you were short of staff. You all made the Bowen Inn feel like a family place full of warmth! The beautiful fireplace sure helped with that! It was all greatly appreciated and you made our weekend a joyous family occasion! Thank you again and we look forward to visiting again! Kelly & Neil Harris 😊

The rooms could probably do with a bit of a spuce up as mine was showing its age in places, but overall quite comfortable. I was away from the highway side so was a quiet nights sleep. TV had a few foxtel channels that provided some alternate viewing.

Clean place but no restaurant on a Sunday, and when we asked the receptionist for Ideas for places to eat, she told us she had only been here for a week and had no idea where we should go. A little disappointing she would not help the wife and I find a place to eat, after a long drive. Other than that it was clean but noisy as we had a room on the road side. Better options in town I would say.

The hotel stay was excellent! The room was very clean, spacious and homey! Additionally, the beds were very comforable! We had a small microwave and fridge in our room, so we were able to eat all of our meals from the comfort of our own home. Only downside was that the restaurant next door was closed for the holidays, but there were still many other restaurants open around town as well as grocery stores to go to for food. The staff was also very friendly and helpful! I needed some silverware during one of the evening meals and the manager was able to find some for me even though it was pretty late! Will definitely be coming here again!!

While the room was a good size and comfortable it was let down by the shabby state of the couch and chairs. The vinyl was cracked and peeling so certainly not what is expected from a 4 star motel. The bathroom was also dated and the shower floor tiles were cracked. The meals in the restaurant were delicious and the manager Karen was extremely helpful and friendly.

Could not recommend this accommodation enough! We arrived late due to unforeseen circumstances and was not a problem for the staff. Wonderful friendly service, rooms were very clean, comfortable and well equipped. Will definitely stay again.
