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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Terrific accommodation and hosts. Exceeded our expectations. Large room, very clean, great inclusions. Pool area was great too. Would have liked to stay longer than the 2 nights. Definitely recommend.

Hayden and Adam were great hosts and were so helpful with ideas for places to eat and things to do. The whole place was exceptionally clean and fresh, the pool area is stunning. The hotel is within an easy walk to the centre of town and heaps of restaurants.

The hotel was clean and basic. He is modelled upon the American motel style accommodation. Drive up to your room and park outside. The hotel was what it was. It was clean and functional without being luxurious in anyway, but there are not a huge range of choices to stay in Forster, so it sufficed and did what he needed to

A large room equip with a bar fridge, sink, microwave, 2 seater dining table, comfortable chair to watch tv, a large bed, pillows, additional blanket in cupboard, and great shower. The pool has to be seen to be believed. A generous size pool allowing you to swim without meeting other guests. The room was freshly renovated and chic with the use of grey tones. Would happily stay here again. It is located walking distance to shops and McDonalds, Service Station and a bus stop. Ample parking.

We had a wonderful 3 night stay at Hotel Forster. Our room was clean and comfortable. We particularly liked the spa bath. The receptionist Tania was friendly, helpful and efficient. Hotel Forster was in walking distance of takeaway shops and the supermarkets were not far away. We would certainly recommend a stay here and will stay here again when we are next in Forster.

Fabulous location and value. We would certainly recommend for anyone. Easy parking, great rooms with excellent kitchen and shower facilities. Friendly helpful staff. Our room was located upstairs - not sure if there is a lift so check access if you have mobility issues.
