Room should contain a reference to Hotel. Typically keys and foreign keys aren't string-values (words) but id numbers. I would add a "hotelno" field to Hotel and use that in Room.

Also, I would change "hotel" in your Booking table to "roomno"... a guest is booking a specific room, right?

Is suburb the same as city? That might be helpful in a separate table. This way there's no spelling mistakes.
