Say what you bought and when

Start with the facts: what you ordered or the service you used, roughly when, and in which city. It helps readers judge whether your experience applies to them.

Describe what happened

  • Was the item or service what was promised?
  • Was it on time, and how did they communicate?
  • If something went wrong, how did the business respond?
  • Would you use them again?

Keep it honest and fair

  • Write about your own experience, not rumours.
  • Stick to facts you can stand behind, and avoid insults.
  • Leave out personal details such as phone numbers, account numbers and addresses.
  • If the business fixes the problem later, you can update your review.

Pick a star rating that matches your words

Five stars means you would happily recommend them; one star means you would warn a friend away. A rating that matches the text makes your review more useful and more trusted.
