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.

Helpful, sunny staff who went above and beyond to help me find what I was looking for. Great ambassadors for Cooma and the Monaro. Also, a good assortment of quality Australiana on sale, much of it Made in Australia. Quite a relief not having to sort through piles of (made elsewhere) kitch before finding something tasteful. Well done ladies!

Travelling to Jindabyne we had to spend the night in Cooma as unexpected snow dump closed the road to Jindy and we didn't have chains with us.
Went to the info centre in the morning for updates on road and weather, and were served by two lovely ladies who gave us the current status ( not yet accessible).
Resigned to staying in Cooma, we went off for a wander, and a little while later were caught by one of the ladies who had run around town looking for us to let us know that status had changed and we could drive now before later temps would make the roads icy again.

I have visited Cooma many times over the 60-80’s snow skiing up the mountains. But I wanted to make sure I haven’t missed out on any new additions. The ladies were most helpful and pleasant. They also helped me find my favourite store...I use for online clothes shipping :-) Also learnt they employ 150 local people, made me most happy to think locals in a small regional town are employed. Much information for the whole area...which in winter is the town nearest to our huge snowy mountain ski fields.

This is by far the best tourist information office I have ever been in. We visited on 2 separate days, and the the 3 staff members we met were super friendly, very informative and so lovely. Thanks for making our visit so nice.

Wow, what an awesome experience in local knowledge by Kate and Heather.
Listened to what we were looking for in our visit and the information shared by them, catered to this perfectly.
We will be back for a second visit to cover what we missed.

Visited the centre today, couldn't be happier. Fantastic help with local road closures and called Gov offices to confirm information. Printed out extra info for remote travel to bush areas. Kirsten and Heather were polite, helpfull and made us feel welcome. Well done girls.

What a lovely Visitor Information Centre. Suzanne and Marilyn are just wonderful. Full of local knowledge and clearly love what they do. They sorted us out for our trip to Yarrangobilly Caves. If it wasn't for them we would have purchased park passes that weren't needed. Great tips for food and other interesting sites around Cooma. Thank you Suzanne and Marilyn, you made our trip much easier. Well done Cooma.

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!
