Review guidelines

Scores are only useful if reviews are honest. Here's what we expect — and what we remove.

Write about your own experience

Only review places you have actually visited or services you have actually used. First-hand detail — what you ordered, which room you stayed in, how the staff handled a problem — is what makes a review worth reading.

Be specific and fair

Describe what happened, good and bad. A critical review is welcome when it's factual; a rant with no detail helps no one. Ratings should reflect the experience, not a single moment taken out of context.

One review per listing, one account per person

You can review a listing once. If your opinion changes after a return visit, contact us and we'll help you update it. Running multiple accounts to boost or bury a listing gets every account involved closed.

No conflicts of interest

Don't review a business you own, work for, or compete with — and don't review on behalf of friends or family who do. Businesses cannot pay to change a score, and owners cannot list or edit their own pages.

What we remove

Moderation and reporting

Every review passes moderation before it's published, and anyone can report a published review using the Report button. Our staff investigate every report; the reviewer is never told who reported them. Repeated or serious violations lead to account closure.
