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.).

The hotel is clean and very good condition. Rooms are really nice with staff being very friendly. Also internet is running relatively stable, which is pretty uncommon in Yaoundé. Breakfast is nice and plenty while lunch and dinner options are affordable and of good quality.

United StatesOne of the elevators did not like to stop on my floor when going up. The other elevator was fine. AC had one temperature setting at 21 C (which can actually get cold after awhile). It is great when you are coming in, but it would be nice to bring the temp to 24 C.
Location, convenience of frequent shuttle transport to/from airport (already included in room charge), buffet breakfast with omelette table (already included in room charge), different daily dinner buffet (extra charge), strong wifi, soundproof windows, quiet hotel, fast room service, spacious bathroom, lots of lighting, and air purifier in the room. Friendly bilingual staff. Great open air balcony in the dining room.

ColombiaThe room was recently renovated, and there is no carpet in the room, which is great. The bed was comfortable, and the Internet was good, especially compared to the average in the city. The air conditioned worked well. Breakfast had many options (sweet and salty), and it was possible to order omelets directly to the kitchen. There is a Carrefour market nearby. The hotel provided shuttle service to the airport, I really appreciated it, especially because I arrived after midnight.

RwandaMy stay at United Hotel International was a pleasant one. The hotel is chic with beautiful and well maintained amenities. The rooms are cosy and clean, the staff is warm and service in general is great. Okay internet connectivity with a small restaurant serving à la carte. Breakfast was equally good. When Back to Yaoundé the hotel is definitely going to be among my top options to consider.

United KingdomTheir service I find it very poor. They put with with WiFi when they isn’t WiFi in the room
The manager at the hotel is very disrespectful and Rude he doesn’t value customers. I think maybe cuz he thinks his white. I pay for a room with WiFi as I’m working at nights on my laptop. I called reception to report the WiFi wasn’t working in my room. Her reply was I don’t know why. I have to roaming in my phone to work what cost me 57£ without VAT. The next day! I ask to speak to the manager who refused to come talk to me 😳😳😳 The head receptionist put me in touch with their IT guy who confirmed to me the WiFi in my room was faulty. Still then the manager didn’t even come to apologise or refund what I spent. I’m very very disappointed with united hotel I think it doesn’t deserve 4 stars.
