[Voice of Owner 6]: Result of Impactful Quality Reviews

Hello Fellow LGs,

Writing reviews for the places we visit is more than just sharing feedback, it’s a deeply satisfying experience. Every time I experience to write one, it feels like reliving the visit all over again. It helps me reflect on how much I truly understood about that place, its atmosphere, the service, the accessibility, and the little details that made my experience unique.

What’s even more rewarding is knowing that these reviews help others. Someone, somewhere, planning their visit to a place might read what I wrote and decide whether to visit. My words might prepare them for what to expect, how to plan their visit, what facilities are available, and what they should carry along to make their experience smoother and more enjoyable.

That’s why, whenever I write a review, I try to focus on practical details, things like accessibility :wheelchair_symbol:, sustainability efforts (such as recycling options :recycling_symbol: or eco-friendly practices :evergreen_tree:), whether the place is LGBTQ+ friendly :rainbow:, has waste bins :put_litter_in_its_place:, restrooms :restroom:, drinking water :potable_water:, parking :p_button:, pet-friendly :dog2:, payment modes :credit_card:, or is kids-friendly :family_man_woman_girl_boy:. These details, though small, make a big difference for visitors.

I have also learned that the best reviews are the ones grounded in personal experience, not general or philosophical statements about a business, but authentic, detailed accounts that truly reflect what we saw and felt. Those are what I call Quality and Impactful Reviews.

In my Voice of Owner series in Voice of Owner 1, I have shared some of the key principles I follow while writing such reviews. My last post on this series was Voice of Owner 5.

P.S.: Now a days ever since AI has started working abruptly, mostly I wish not to include photos in my review to minimize the chances of getting it hidden. Due to photos attached in the review, most of the time review gets hidden if the respective photo gets hidden. And, I do post photos separately for the specific POI.

And the best part? Such Quality and Impactful reviews often reach the business owners and result into the Voice of Owners. Which confirms that business owners do respect the Voice of Customers and ready to work on improvements (if any). That’s when you truly feel that your words have made a difference.

In this post, I have included another set of examples from ten different businesses where I received responses from the owners, some even thanking me for highlighting areas for improvement. Moments like these reaffirm why I continue to write reviews with care and honesty, because every genuine review has the power to create positive change.

Stay Happy, Stay Healthy!

Wow that’s really amazing too see coach @Kumaarsantosh You are truly an inspiration, i will try to start this practice regularly of entering only reviews and updating the photos separately and see if there are any changes in my reviews getting hidden. Thanks, coach, the voice of owners series is superb

Thank you, @TravellerG, for your kind words. This series was launched in August 2023 and has continued to appear at regular intervals, each edition inspired by a sequence of related events.

It’s great to know that your posts have been free from rejections and that you are mindful about uploading photos directly from the location. Following the guidelines is essential to ensure compliance with policies and to avoid any issues later on.

Thank you @Annaelisa for your appreciation. :folded_hands:

I am pleased to know that it is working well for you with media files.

Thank you, @Ssiddharth2000, for your kind and thoughtful words. Yes, this is indeed one of the several reasons why a review may not be publicly posted. While it’s not the only factor, it’s certainly something important to keep an eye on.

Often, while posting reviews, contributors unknowingly attach multiple photos or videos of the same place. If even one of those media files doesn’t comply with the content policy, the entire review may be made private. Therefore, it’s always advisable to be careful and selective when uploading multiple media files.

At times, such posts may still pass through AI moderation, but that shouldn’t be relied upon as a correct or consistent approach. We all make mistakes, but what truly matters is learning from them and striving not to repeat them in the future.

Thanks for bringing this discussion point Sid. :heart: :handshake:

Thank you coach @Kumaarsantosh for your detailed reply. This is a very important, yet underrated point which many people miss out on. Even I have many hidden reviews which I will revisit and act upon. Going forward, I will certainly be mindful to write reviews without media and then add the media later. Thank you once again
