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.

We popped into the Cooma Visitors Centre to get some local knowledge on the best spots to camp and enjoy all that Cooma and its surrounds has to offer. We were very ably assisted by Kate who was very helpful and obliging in answering our questions and enquiries. While we are happy to do our own research on the net, we rarely go past a ‘visitors centre’ if the town has one as we find speaking to a ‘local’ gives us lots of local insight that suits our particular needs and preferences. Well done Cooma!

Kate and Heather were so helpful! Advised and looked up location for a Hip Camp, double checked National Park spots and free camp suggestions. Also the highlights of Cooma to drop in for a visit.
We were not rushed and left with maps all highlighted and lots of information regarding walks . Recommend to be your first stop.🌸

Learnt so much about Cooma & its surroundings. Maralyn was exceptional in her knowledge. We appreciated her friendliness and above all her knowledge was exceptional. Definitely important to visit these centres as they really do promote and help visitors to not only learn the history of towns, but they give helpful information on the best routes to travel.

My family was well looked after by the lovely staff here. They offered very helpful and thoughtful advice on how my parents (aged 60+) could access Mt Kosciuszko via lift, walk or drive. They had a wonderful day thanks to their advice. Thank you to Heather and Nicole for your good listening, assistance with maps, accurate information and warm customer service. It was very much appreciated!

We were staying in Canberra and looking for information about the snow and how best to navigate all the required information. We called a lot of places but didn't find it easy to get the info we needed UNTIL we called the Cooma Visitors Centre and spoke to Emily!
Emily was incredible, she literally helped us plan our whole trip, and all from over the phone! I was so happy and our family had the best day, well organised with transport, gear hire and drive times, all because we called the right place!
Thanks be being amazing :) James, Cristine and the kids
