Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

AustraliaIt felt like it was trying to be more up-market than it really is. The rooms were dated and missing basics that one would expect at the price point : Toilet paper, pool towels, tea or coffee to go with the jug that was provided. While everything we asked for was provided, some shouldn’t have had to be asked for. The main pool complex doesn’t open till 10am and staying guests dont get to use it any earlier - important to note if checking out at 10am or hoping to miss the crowds that pour into the pools in weekend. Note: This is a really popular place for locals to come for a big day out in the weekends, so it can get seriously busy! We had dinner the first night in the ‘restaurant’ after telling them we would do so. No restaurant hours were provided to us, so we got to restaurant just after 7pm. Our group of 6 were the only diners but it took over 90 minutes to get meals, and not even drinks brought out before then! The 3 kids were completely exhausted by the time dinner actually arrived that no one really enjoyed it. We didn’t eat there the rest of the time. Breakfast isn’t included in the price.
The pools, both the private guests pool and the main complex with water slides is a lot of fun for older kids / teens. The pools made this the favourite accomodation spot for this trip for the 13yr old in our party. The gardens were beautiful and the serenity of watching the sun rise over the rice fields was very special. Rooms were good sized, with roomy bathrooms, working AC, comfortable beds and each had a fridge and a jug. There was a washing machine - but no clothes line to hang anything to dry. Overall we did enjoy the stay at Leisure Land as it was somewhere quite different, but it was quite pricey compared to other places we stayed in Sri Lanka.

Sri LankaThe public pool itself was not cleaned and maintained. It was generally opened for public, and is especially full with locals during the weekends, making it hard to enjoy ourselves due to the abundance of people. In addition, due to the busy lunch time, the kitchen was reluctant to serve us during dinner time, and when they did serve us, they took an unreasonable amount of time for even a sandwich: this left us with a bitter taste as we were the only guests within premises that evening and the resort was located in a secluded area, which left us relying on the kitchen for its services. The main slide was under construction, but you could still use it from the halfway mark.
Absolutely enjoyed the private pool by the rooms, and the public pool was an absolute joy to enjoy and spend the day in. The staff were kind and willing to accommodate to our needs and requests. The rooms were decent-sized and had the required amenities.

NetherlandsThe pool was open for people outside the hotel, i was not aware. The visitors where almost only from Sri Lanka and they didnt see women in bikini a lot i suppose 🙃 maik slide is not finished but you can start using it halfway. Owner tolld me that they will finish end of the year.
Super awesome design of the pools, it is large and well designed with caves and waterfalls. Owner and his family is really friendly. Just a great stop in our journey. We looked with our simple bedroom into the ricefields with a large varaan. Shower was outside.l and really good looking. Food was lovely, it was served in our bungalow.

United Arab EmiratesWe really enjoyed our stay in Leisure Land. We stayed 4 nights and we are a family of 4. We stayed during the week and it was very calm and relaxing. We recommend avoiding weekends as it’s gets very busy. The owner, Ravi was an amazing host. We arrived early in the morning and checkin to our room was not until 2pm so he gave us a room to sleep and rest in until our room was ready. He also gave us a tour around his land and surprised us with lots of delicious treats and drinks throughout our stay. Nothing was too much trouble. The rooms had a great patio area with lovely natural views. This is where we ate breakfast. The rooms had comfy beds and beautiful outside bathrooms. We highly recommend Leisure Land for families as the outside area and pools were great fun.

United Arab EmiratesAt Check-in when we arrived, they took our payment straight away then told us there was an event on that day and that slides were closed for 2 hours. That was the only information we got about the whole resort. Not a great start. The room was very, very basic. It says it has AC, flat screen tv and tea and coffee making. However the AC wouldn’t work and would leak when it did. TV wouldn’t work Tea/ coffee was non existent in the room only kettle and cup. Eventually all was fixed but it took a long time with people coming and going in our room to fix everything that we lost a few hours of playtime once slides did open. Mattress very hard, very uncomfortable. Power went off overnight and generator also didn’t work so had to sleep in a very hot room without AC and nobody around to advise. There was No menu available to us so you would have no idea what food was on offer. Apart from the 2/3 hours we were finally able to enjoy the slides, The whole stay was not relaxing or enjoyable and we ended up checking out earlier than expected as I just wanted to leave at that point. This place has so much potential but very, very badly managed. Which is a shame. I would suggest go there on a day pass as you can have great fun on the slides etc without the hassle and unnecessary stress of staying there overnight.
