What earns trust

• Writing reviews for places you actually visited. Specifics help — what you ordered, who was working, what surprised you.
• Helpful votes from neighbors.When your reviews help someone decide, that's the strongest signal we have.
• Owners replying to you. When a verified owner takes time to respond, your review mattered.
• Adding photos. A real picture of what you ate or where you sat tells more than 500 words.
• Time on the platform.Drive-by accounts can't fake a year of showing up.

What loses trust

• Reviews that get reported by other neighbors or flagged by our moderators (off-topic, harassment, paid placements).
• Owner-reviewing-their-own-place. Not allowed.
• Brand-new accounts dropping 5 reviews in an hour. We notice. Tiers stay locked until activity looks real.
