Always treated with respect and kindness when we stay here - The food is also delicious. Just be aware on Saturday they have a pool party - extremely loud music, open to all- but it did stop before 1700. Thank goodness. If you want peace and quiet on a Saturday- you will be disappointed.

Dear Nicole,Thank you for your review. Sorry to hear you weren’t happy with the service provided by our Front desk team. Ensuring a quality arrival experience to all our guests is important to the team and we will always look to assist where possible. We do apologise that our arrival process which requires Security bond and payment from the Guest or prior arrangement from your company meant the arrival experience didn’t meet your expectations.

Stayed at both the Best Western and the Karratha International during this trip and the Best Western was better by far and cheaper as well. The amenities in the rooms of the Karratha international were limited. Had to move the bed to get to a power socket close to the bed, didn't have terrestrial channels available on the television (just samsung internet-based channels), they didnt run the pool filter constantly, so the surface was covered in small flies and there was plenty of leaf detritus at the bottom of the pool. The pool was cold (quite a feat in Karratha) and the deck and terrace, which should have been a shady haven to chill in was ruined by a combination of non-stop 1950's, 1960's and 1970's italian music that was played at a volume perfectly designed to be impossible to ignore.

Dear Soner,Thank you for taking the time to provide us with feedback on your recent stay at the KI.I was sorry to read there were a number of areas that didn’t meet your expectations. We should have picked up that the TV wasn’t working correctly prior to your arrival; this is something our management team have discussed to ensure our room presentation checks are being followed at all times. Our friendly team are always happy to help at the time also if made aware. With our recently renovated pool and surrounds being an area that our guests enjoy relaxing at we appreciate your thoughts on the cleanliness, temperature and music played. While the pool filtration does run continuously, and the pool does get cleaned daily, our maintenance team have been made aware to ensure the pool presentation is always at its best. We will also review the volume of music playing as it is intended to sit in the background, not to disrupt relaxation.We understand our guests have a choice when booking and as such are continuously looking to adapt and improve our offering to provide a quality experience to those staying. Hopefully we have the opportunity to have you back at the KI so we may demonstrate our true commitment to exceeding guest expectations.Kind Regards Paul Gray - GM

Great place to stay.
Enjoyed staying here. Room was modern and clean, decent sized TV and a big bed. Internet access was fast and didnt drop out during my stay. As with all Australian hotels, not enough electrical sockets and the ones that are there and free, are never by the bed! Was also walking distance to main attractions Karratha has to offer.

The Karratha international was a reasonably expensive stay in my opinion. Pool was out of order due to renovations. The pool facilities were the main reason for booking there for our 4 day stay. We requested a partial discount on our stay but was told something could be sorted out if we were to book again. Room was clean and comfortable.

The cleanliness of the room was appalling the walls were dirty with marks and doors were dirty, the bathrooms had mould plus the shower head was not adjustable and when adjusted it broke. The fridges were hot with the doors closed. For the amount of each room it should have been cleaner. I've paid less and gotten more from other hotels and i definitely will not be staying at this property again

Property was a shambles looked like they started work and then stopped months ago with bits and bieces scattered around, holes dug etc. The "superior" garden room was a joke. When booking in I informed them I was there for a function that should have been at a lower rate. When I found this out the next day they refused to refund the difference for the first night. The room was clean and the A/C was on.

Good Evening, Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us. We are in the middle of a lot of renovations currently at the property with more scheduled through the year to improve the venue. Unfortunately without knowing the specific function or how you booked I cannot confirm the exact reason they were unable to refund you. If you have directly paid Wotif when you booked this is likely the issue as the travel agent themselves have charged your card and they are a third party which we do not control. If there is anything we can do please feel free to contact the hotel directly. Thank you again for your valuable feedback.

Swimming pool requires some work, not cleaned and paint was flaking off into pool. Looks like there is some work going on to improve the property, this will help in the future. Room was clean and tidy, happy with room, not so happy with the outside areas, marine ply on the ground as levelling platforms between pathways and gardens around the room very average.
