Hello, working with maps you can simply delete the dublicates, but you can do nothing when some objects are already deleted as dublicates, but they was absolutely different places located quite far one from another, so the photos and reviews became mixed.
For example Лесопарк Уручье
проспект Независимости 191а, Минск
https://maps.app.goo.gl/NcWeY1UgGfjh4fPW9
Now the point is located at forest park - small piece of real forest with nothing more in it, but looking at the photos you can think that there is a river and the bridge and church and accurate sidewalks, arbors, large stones and flowerbeds. But all this is situated in different places around.
All photos are beautiful and reviews are truly, the places exist and the best way would be claim the wrong connection and to divide these places back with their photos and reviews.
Unfortunately my review in maps app. didn’t help to solve the problem.

Hi @OlgaKlimchik ,
Thanks for reaching out to us!
Just to be sure first on the suggestion, you were referring to the situation when a location, which was previously reported to be as a duplicate to another one, would have wrongly posted reviews?
Feel free to elaborate a bit more on the example as well, as the Google Maps link to Lesopark Uruch’ye would show incorrect photos, describing another location, correct? : ]
@sonnyNg
At the beginning there were at least 5 parks not far from each other (but not so close to confuse):
Парк камней аллея Валунов, Минск 220141 https://maps.app.goo.gl/GDeJMjv9BTqgpH5s9
Парк Уручье ул. Городецкая 38, Минск https://maps.app.goo.gl/J3TD9ivzg7jfjhx59
Храм Всех Святых улица Калиновского 121, Минск 220086 8 017 385-91-62 https://maps.app.goo.gl/43xxa8fiWDeVEYXe8
Now the park around this church disappeared.
Лесапарк Зялёны Луг МКАД, Минск https://maps.app.goo.gl/Nduaj12Tgp8JU5AX8
And
Лесопарк Уручье проспект Независимости 191а, Минск https://maps.app.goo.gl/NcWeY1UgGfjh4fPW9
In the winter (don’t remember definitely) I have noticed that the last lesopark disappeared and the park near
Храм всех святых with all its photos and reviews appears in its place. I desided to correct the situation and have changed its location. But now I think it was my mistake, because the parks weren’t transfered, but united.
I can’t say for sure the further story, but now the photos and reviews of all this parks (and some other photos, maybe random) belong to Лесопарк Уручье.
Most likely this situation is not unique and there are not instruments to correct it.

Hi @OlgaKlimchik ,
Thanks for sharing the links and details!
Just wanted to make sure, as to follow up from the description, you have sent a feedback, regarding irregularities being spotted in the locations Lesopark Uruch’ye and Храм Усіх Святых, correct? (with the supposed missing reviews and photos)
As a result, it is suggested that currently some reviews and/or photos of the four locations, Парк камней аллея Валунов, Парк Уручье would happen to be related to Lesopark Uruch’ye, correct?
It is much appreciated for your dedication to explain to us, however I am still yet to fully grasp the whole specter of the issue.
It would be great if you could help out with the matter. : ]

@sonnyNg Not quite so. I reported about incorrect location (don’t remember strictly) , which changed several times. There was hard situation in maps due to hackers attacks and I left this question then and only now I noticed the reviews and photos of several places. I wrote in maps app, I didn’t know about Local Guides Connect then.
Yes, it’s very similar that Lesopark Urucca is now related to all other paks. It can’t be an accident, because there are a lot of photos and reviews by different users and the parks are not so close each other for mistake.

Hi @OlgaKlimchik ,
Thanks for the further details!
It is really important that you have pointed out the important remarks, as we may have to take a further look on specific examples from the locations.
If there would be any update, please do not hesitate to share with us!
For the moment, due to the main subject being inclined towards investigating of a possible specific issue, the post would be relocated to How-tos.
P/s: As a side note, you may proceed to create a separate post for the Idea Exchange, taking this exact case as an example.
