How to Write Helpful Reviews
Tips for great reviews:
- • Be specific about what you liked or didn't like
- • Mention particular dishes, products, or services
- • Include both good and not-so-good parts if relevant
- • Think about what would help other customers decide
- • Be respectful, even if you had a bad experience
Example of a helpful review:
Sarah M. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Had lunch at Maya's Café yesterday. The chicken curry was really well spiced and came with fresh naan. Service was friendly even though they were busy. The outdoor area is nice with good shade. Only thing was the smoothies took a while, but they were worth waiting for. Would definitely recommend for authentic local food!"
This works well because it mentions specific food, talks about service and atmosphere, includes a minor issue, and gives a clear recommendation.
