Karma Spa - Karma Rottnest

It’s a great shame for our history of mankind in this world. Please watch the documentary on YouTube “Australia’s dark secret: The Inhumane Treatment of Indigenous” and you will find the answer.

Pretty crazy to make a concentration camp where so many people were killed into a hotel. such little mention of the sad history of the island, pretty disturbing

I just saw a documentary in YouTube regarding this hotel . This hotel was before a concentration camp where the British colonisers keep , torture , kill dozens of indigenous mens including children . Each luxury room where each guest pay to stay was once ago a 3 cells that could accommodate 7 prisoners , so 21 prisoners in each room . Outside the hotel there’s the surroundings where dozens of indigenous prisoners where buried . Is not any memorial to represent the victims and life loss . Please boycott Australia as a holiday destination , do not support arrogance , racism and hatred nation

Our experience was similar to many of the previous reviews...The location in proximity to the main settlement is great.I am only glad our stay wasn't in summer where it would have been unbearable due to the room not having air-conditioning.Room certainly wasn't cleaned very well, with previous debris from others in the shower stall, cobwebs evident.Maintenance seems hit and miss at this place...Look...for what it is and the tariff paid it is bearable...Owners should install split system air-conditioning in each room. This would make the stay much more comfortable, but it seems every review falls on deaf ears as nothing appears to change...

Our family had Xmas lunch and stayed the following night. Found the resort generally to have a really nice atmosphere and the staff to be all really friendly and helpful. The meals were all very enjoyable even with the extreme heat conditions. Our only complaint here was that a lot of the crockery wasn’t clean. The rooms, one a standard double and the other a lakeside standard were reasonably clean but very tired and not air conditioned, just ceiling fans which meant a very hot unpleasant night.My main complaint though is that I left a dress, a good dress, new and worn once, on Xmas day in the robe in the room. My fault for leaving it there I know, but I would have thought housekeeping would have removed it after we checked out on Boxing Day and either placed it in lost property or notified reception to contact us, but no the dress has disappeared. We contacted reception first thing on Monday 27th which would have been before the the next lot of guests in that room had checked out and then later that day only to be told there was no sign of it! Needless to say we are very disappointed, it has spoilt an enjoyable Xmas break.

Karma Rottnest is full of rustic charm and we had a very enjoyable stay. Everything is not perfect as it is due to be closed for refurbishment shortly but the bed was super comfy and the bathroom immaculate and there was a lovely view across the lake, overall a very pleasant room to stay in.

We loved our stay. Beautiful lake view, we went there during the school holiday with 3 young children. Kids loved playing with quokkas. Adults had very relaxing time. Lovely buffet breakfast, friendly staff. We will be back.

I was aware that the hotel was basic, no aircon, old decor. Which was fine, I was not expecting anything more, however, what I was expecting was clean, which is not a lot to ask. The room had probably only had a superficial clean after each guest. You know, change bedding, wipe down counters, rinse out glasses, that was it.The floor was so gritty, that you could not walk on it barefoot, as your feet go too dirty.The shower had not been cleaned properly.Only one bedside lamp.The Balcony, which would have been wonderful to sit on, however it was revolting. Bird poo all over the outside light, and in fact one morning I could not walk out onto the balcony, due to all the birds flying in the balcony.The screen sliding door/shutter had not been moved for a very long time as the cobwebs and dust attached was a sight to be seen.Stains on the seating cushions, which made it quite unpleasant to sit on.I heard, and I am not sure how true it is, that the lease has been terminated. If this is so, then you can see that the care value is less than zero, we actually left a night early as we could bear the thought of another night in a dirty room.The front desk were helpful, but I think a bit customer fatigued. The pool area was besieged with crows on the look out for an easy meal, and if you the customer, don't ask the staff to clear off a table, the crows on onto it in a second. the staff are definitely customer fatigued, which is a shame. I did not eat breakfast there, but my partner tried it one morning and it was awful.The only good thing about the hotel is the location, being so central to The Settlement. Would I stay there again, no, never.

Great view, but a terrible room considering what we paid per night (almost $400/night!)We paid for a deluxe room with a lake view. The main room was spacious but badly maintained, half of the lights didn't work and there were worn fixtures everywhere. Fly wire on the sliding door wouldn't close properly. The bed and bathroom were fine, thankfully.The layout was just strange.The couch faced away from both the view and the TV. The TV was placed so that it could only be watched while in bed. There was no table or coffee table to play cards or have tea. For some reason they thought it was more important to have a writing desk.Kettle's at the front, the fridge at the other side of the room and you have to go to the bathroom at the back of the suite to fill up the kettle. Why not just put the kettle near the fridge?The fridge was only powered when the key was in the holder, so we couldn't leave anything in it.Positives: The balcony was lovely, beautiful sunset views and quokkas foraging. Staff were nice and checked in on us during the blackout.

The atmosphere of the heritage building and the pool area is really nice, staff were excellent upon arrival and throughout my stay. The bar is well stocked and the restaurant was awesome. I loved my buffet breakfast and the chill atmosphere. I will be back.
