Tips for writing great reviews
Be informative and insightful: Be specific and relevant to the place you’re reviewing, and describe what other visitors are likely to experience. Highlight what makes the place special, and try to share something novel and new. From signature dishes to secret sale racks, reviews should reveal the unique experiences that places offer.
Keep it real: Be authentic. Review your own experience, and explain why you liked or disliked the place. Try to be as accurate as possible, and include both the positive and negative aspects of your visit.
Be respectful: Not every experience with a place is going to be perfect. Sometimes you’ll want to share negative feedback. Even if you’re frustrated, make sure your criticism is constructive. Business owners often use feedback to improve their offerings.
Reviews not General Commentary: At times certain locations may become the subject of larger public debate or conversation due to recent news coverage or current events. While we respect and value your opinion, Local Reviews are not meant for social or political commentary. We think there are other forums that are more suited to those kinds of conversations, like blogs or social networks. Please write about your firsthand experience with the place and not general commentary on the place in relation to recent news.
Write with style: People will pay attention when you write thoughtful reviews. Keep them readable and avoid excessive capitalization or punctuation. Use good grammar, check your spelling, and avoid profanity. Choose the right length - a paragraph is great. Be creative and have fun!
Muy buena información, y estoy de acuerdo en hacer reseñas de alta calidad para ayudar a otros a tomar mejores decisiones y no confundirlos, me gusta escribir reseñas agregar fotos de lugares que visito
Also in terms of a negative (or should we say constructive feedback I actually think that it may potentialy damage a business and we need to give a business owner a second chance in most cases.
So it would be cool and pretty innovative (as I don’t think any other review service allows to do this yet) to enable Local Guides (as well as all other users) to send a private message to business owners that no one else can see and give them that chance to improve their product or service. And it would be nice to give Local Guides an option to send this constructive feedback anonymously to be 100% honest.
The dream would be to create this collaborative and productive ecosystem between businesses and Local Guides via Google Maps. And I’d love to be part of making this happen.
