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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

ChadIt's been a good first experience at Krystal Palace. I went for a week of rest. I appreciate the efforts and attention and hospitality of the crew. Thank you for that. The hotel is big ; meaning a lot of work is required to satisfy and attend to everyone's need and also ensure residents are safe and feel confortable. I appreciate the flexibility of breakfast time upto 11AM and the front desk team for proactively correct and compassate after my observations. The sunday brunch is enjoyable , entertaining with an interesting choice of food. The spa is net , well decorated and clean with a good team for each service. I would suggest to put some home/interior scents in the room to keep them as fresh as the elevators and the corridor at least for those who are not allergic. I faced some challenges with my flight at arrival which indeed impacted the airport transfer but I am glad it went well. I was upgraded to an Executive room.

CanadaThe hallway on our floor was under renovation, while this was a bit of a distraction, it was nice to see the hotel renovating the older areas of the building.
The hotel staff were very helpful and friendly. The hotel offers all modern amenities and comfort. The city of Doula is challenging but we felt very safe and comfortable during our stay.

CameroonThe only aspect I didn’t enjoy about Krystal Palace was their food and entertainment choices. In my opinion, a hotel serves as a gateway to a country, offering the perfect opportunity to showcase its culture. Unfortunately, the menu was dominated by Western dishes, with very few Cameroonian options. This was disappointing, especially since Cameroon is renowned for its rich and diverse cuisine. Similarly, the music played in the hotel was exclusively Western. This felt like a missed opportunity to promote Cameroonian culture and highlight the country’s vibrant musical heritage. By incorporating more local flavors and sounds, Krystal Palace could provide guests with a more authentic and memorable experience.
My stay at Krystal Palace was truly delightful. I spent four days at this hotel and enjoyed every moment. The staff was exceptionally friendly and respectful, even allowing me to check in early without any additional charges. Having stayed in numerous 5-star hotels worldwide, I was impressed by Krystal Palace's daily room cleaning service—something that many high-end hotels no longer offer. Another standout feature was the top-notch security. Guests cannot access the elevators without scanning their room key, adding an extra layer of safety. Additionally, when I had visitors, the front desk always called to confirm my approval before letting them in. The lobby was another highlight. My friends and I spent time there, and despite being quite loud, the staff remained gracious and accommodating. Lastly, I highly recommend trying their spa—it was a phenomenal experience and the perfect way to relax during my stay. Overall, Krystal Palace exceeded my expectations, and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.
