Review Reliability for Google Maps

Highlights the best-supported Google Maps reviews by our criteria, estimates a rating from them, and spots homemade local places.

Is that 4.8★ restaurant really that good? Review Reliability reads the reviews for you and puts forward the ones that are best supported — precise, detailed, written by reviewers who rate in a balanced way — and helps you find local places that cook homemade food with fresh produce. 1. PUT FORWARD THE BEST-SUPPORTED REVIEWS • Each review is labeled ✓ Kept, ? Uncertain or – Not kept — hover to see which criteria applied • Reviews that are not kept are greyed out, or hidden with one click • Content comes first: a detailed review is kept whatever its tone; the reviewer's profile only matters when the text is too thin to judge 2. A RATING BY OUR CRITERIA • A badge with the rating computed from kept reviews only, e.g. “✓ 4.2★ · 571 kept reviews” • A mention on every place: Very reliable · Reliable · Moderate gap · Notable gap · Large gap (1★ or more) · Too few reviews • The points many customers agree on (service, wait, prices…) with 👍 / 👎 3. HIGHLIGHT GOOD LOCAL PLACES • 🍳 badge and bonus points when kept reviews mention homemade dishes, fresh, local and seasonal produce, a named chef or a short, changing menu • These places move up in the ranking so you see them first • 🧊 “Frozen food mentioned” when several customers mention frozen, processed or reheated dishes WHAT OUR CRITERIA LOOK AT • The review itself: concrete details, balance, photos; very short or generic praise carries little weight • The account: single-review or very recent accounts, reviewers who only ever give 5★ or 1★ (when the text alone is not enough) • The place: copy-pasted reviews, bursts of reviews from brand-new accounts • Landmarks and places with tens of thousands of reviews are judged with lighter criteria IMPORTANT Results are automatic estimates based on our own criteria. They are neither facts nor accusations: no review is declared untrue and no place is called into question. Always form your own opinion. PRIVACY Everything is computed in your browser.
