Flagging reviews, created without ever visiting the point of interest.

Going through reviews provides first-rate information about the places of interests and is also an excellent learning tool.
For that, I often go through the POIs around or the ones in my upcoming trips.

Incidentally, I came across a few occurrences in which the writer said, - “Not been there, so no question of reviewing the place.”
However, the shock was that, in ratings the LG allowed a single star to that spot.
That is sheer injustice to the underlying business.

I wanted to report one such case.
Nonetheless, in the standard template, there are only four options to select.

  1. Hateful, violent, or inappropriate, 2. Advertising or spam, 3. Off-topic, 4. Conflict of interest.
    Frankly, the review described above does not fit in any of these categories. Finally, I gave up that endeavour!

Hello @C_T ,

Sorry to hear that, unfortunately I often come across such reviews too =/. I personally would choose one of the options listed that I think fit it best: Off-topic. You can find more information on this post How and when to report reviews on Google Maps.

Additionally, I also would report this Local Guides in question. =)
