Uhob Videos (UVs) must fit into one of five Uhob's categories. Each category is labeled with a vowel to make it easy to name.
A | Amenities (mandatory). The Uhob Video Amenities (UVA) shows the architectural essentials of the hotel. From drone shots to lobby to key guest areas – clean, simple shots that give viewers a complete overview of hotel's amenities.
E | Experience (optional). The Uhob Video Experience (UVE) captures the essence of a stay. From culinary highlights and inspiring activities to authentic emotions and the atmosphere shaped by your guests. Comparable to lifestyle videography.
I | Associates (optional). Uhob Video Inside (UVIs) are used for storytelling about the hotel. Associates are heroes of this space. Driven by AI-translated voiceovers. Multiple UVIs can be published.
O | Room types (optional). Uhob Video Options (UVOs) are clear, simple room overviews that let guests see exactly what they can expect. In one Uhob Video per room type.
U | Specialities (optional). Uhob Videos Uniqueness (UVUs) highlight the hotel's special features. From rooftop terraces with views to wedding venues, water slides, and much more. Each special feature is dedicated its own Uhob Video.
Welcome guests with a drone shot and a view of the lobby. Avoid showing scenes if that are not typical, such as a welcome drink or a staff greeting.
In the UVA category, it’s important to show at least one standard guest room so viewers can get a genuine sense of the space. Please avoid adding decorations or elements that don’t reflect the hotel’s actual standard offering. Try not to include the toilet, bidet, or trash bin in the shot.
Provide an insight into the atmosphere and standard of hotel's restaurants. Food and drinks are not to focus. To showcase the hotel’s cuisine, Uhob Videos in the categories for experience (UVE) and specialities (UVU) are ideal. If you want to portait your chef, use an UVI.
UVAs refers hotel's amenities, such as a tennis court or stage. Mobile offerings, such as surfing, belong to the Uhob categories for experience (UVE) and specialities (UVU).
This section focuses on the facilities. Provide viewers with a glimpse of the wellness and fitness areas. If useful, you can also highlight the gym equipment. If the spa or gym is particularly extensive, dedicate a separate UVU to it.
Uhob Videos are limited to 30 seconds. That’s why motifs and settings without informative value or clear recognition of the hotel are not suitable for the UVA. Vibe shots are better placed in other Uhob categories.
We strive to create a safe, helpful, and inclusive platform for everyone. By avoiding these prohibited elements, you contribute to a positive and welcoming community for all travelers.
