How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewSize of the room, friendliness of staff.
The furniture in the room was catastrophic. A cupboard for clothes 30cm wide. You have to put your belongings on the floor. The pool had greenish water. Only in the brochure it has light blue water.
Dear Andreas, Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you appreciated the room and the friendliness of our team! We’ve taken note of your comments regarding the furniture. As for the pool, please rest assured that the water is filtered and checked daily. The color you observed was most likely temporary. Since its opening, our rooftop pool has enjoyed growing popularity throughout Yaoundé — a success largely due to its cleanliness and regular maintenance. We look forward to welcoming you again. Best regards, The Résidence MASSOU Team

Dear JOSEPH, Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations. Your reservation was made without a credit card, which, as indicated on our Booking.com listing, requires confirmation from the guest. Despite several attempts to reach you on the day of arrival, we were unable to get in touch. When you arrived later in the evening, the reserved studio was no longer available. To assist you, we offered our last available unit—a Premium apartment—at a significantly reduced rate. We regret that this solution did not suit you; but unfortunately, you chose to leave without further discussion. Please know that guest satisfaction remains our top priority. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again and provide you with the quality of service Residence MASSOU is known for. Kind regards, David

Verified reviewRoom was good and view from balcony very nice
We stayed 6 nights, The room was not cleaned, we did not have enough towels and only one large one (towels were never changed during stay) The wifi was terrible which meant I had to go to the Hilton Hotel to work, The kitchen had very little in the way of cooking accessories, we had to ask for pans, cooking utensils, a rubbish bin. The staff were very efficient at collecting payment and woke me up twices having rang the door 4 times. When we arrived the pool area was a mess after what looked like a party. The bathroom shower was very small and poorly designed.
Dear Mr. Rudolf, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review following your stay at Residence Massou. We’re grateful for your feedback and would like to respond to the points you raised: *WiFi Connectivity* We regret the inconvenience you experienced with the WiFi. At the time of your stay, we were addressing service disruptions with our provider. We’ve since upgraded our equipment to provide a much more reliable and stable connection for all guests. *Room Amenities* Our studio units include basic kitchen facilities suitable for light cooking. For guests seeking a more fully equipped kitchen, our premium apartments offer a wider range of appliances. We’re sorry if this wasn’t clearly communicated before your arrival. *Cleaning and Linen Service* Rooms are thoroughly cleaned prior to guest check-in. We provide fresh towels and linens every three days, and additional items are always available on request from our team. *Payment Policy* Full payment is due before check-in, and any follow-up during a guest’s stay usually indicates that the balance was not settled at arrival. Bathroom Layout The bathroom is approximately 5sqm, as accurately shown in our photos. We understand preferences vary, and we strive to offer practical, ergonomic spaces to suit most guests. We appreciate your comments and are committed to improving our guest experience. We hope to welcome you back in the future and provide a smoother and more enjoyable stay. Best regards, Manager, Residence Massou

Verified reviewThe pool.
The WiFi didn’t work- AT ALL. The AC in the ground floor apartment DID NOT WORK. The bed in the 3rd bedroom was broken. They offered to move us to a higher floor for an extra 20,000. Then they were magically booked up even though rooms were available on booking .com. I had to kill a giant cockroach in my room.
Dear Monica, Thank you for your valuable feedback. We sincerely apologize for the WiFi issues and the air conditioning problem in one of the bedrooms. We understand how important comfort is, and we’re glad our team provided a portable fan as a temporary solution while arranging for the HVAC technician to repair the unit the next day. As a gesture of goodwill, we also offered a complimentary bottle of wine to enhance your stay. Additionally, we’ve recently expanded WiFi coverage in the shared spaces, pool area, and rooftop terraces, so guests can enjoy the beautiful nature views while staying connected. We appreciate your understanding and hope you’ll give us another chance to provide an even better experience in the future. Sincerely, Residence Massou Team
