People around the world rely on reviews to make decisions about where to go for every situation. Your reviews on Google Maps help people plan trips and discover great new places.
Some of you may love to include details to help families. Others are dedicated to adding info to help people who use wheelchairs get around. Or maybe you’re on a quest to find the perfect burger and write detailed reviews to let others know where to order one, too.
Whatever you’re passionate about, we want to know what you think makes a great review. What do you love to write about? What details do you like to highlight about different types of places, like restaurants, shops, or other businesses? And what do you look for when you read reviews? Do you care if a review is entertaining, or just look for certain details?
In the comments below, link to a couple reviews you’re proud of and tell us why they’re your favorites. If you have links to other reviews you’ve used and love, be sure to share those with us too!
@LucioV Wow! I learned a lot reading your review of Yosemite. As someone who is prone to getting mosquito bites, I appreciate that you included that detail.
Is there anything specific you look for when reading reviews of restaurants or shops? I personally tend to scan for info about menu options, ambiance, and price. What things do you look for?
@AhsanBulbul Great review! I’m sure parents will appreciate your tip about where to sit with kids. Do you often share family-friendly details in reviews? What are other things you look out for?
Not that often @AriMar . I was used to give some highlights on how the food was, how the atmosphere was. But recently I have decided to give some family-friendly details. Also to put some details on wheelchair accessibility.
This is very important and responsible job when writing review about some business places
Like restaurant, cafe and amusement where people first see places photo and read other experience from reviewed so for honestly we could write the exactly fact and bow towards positive.
For institutions it becomes more important to decide parents to select a school or college for their children.
My most popular review that Google identified and notified me via email is about “Water World Park” located in Karachi and most helpful review is about " Data Darbar" located in Lahore.
What let me identify if a review was the best?
I got that one with 2977 views: sweet Sixteen about a cinema, where I put in information what is special about that place.
Then there is the one with most likes: LUDWIGGALERIE Schloss Oberhausen about an art gallery, where I put information about my experiences on the exhibition I visited.
Most of the time I write about my personal experience at the location and pointing out very different details, depending on what is (or was for me) important there. So as we had a meeting with a group at one location I pointed out what was good for us and what not, so I add information about the acoustics as it was not good and really bad for one of us who wears hearing aid.
wow nice topic @AriMar . my best hit review max negative comment like they tell me this but give something else this type . i think it’s more helpful to find out best place .

@user_not_found What do you think is some of the most helpful info someone can add to a review of a restaurant? What keywords or details do you look for when you look at reviews on Google Maps?
@MahabubMunna Thanks for sharing your review! What information do you look for when you read reviews? What are your favorite types of places to review? Personally, I love to review cafes and always appreciate when people add details about the kind of music the coffee shop plays.
yes @AriMar i read before travel any palace , and after back try to cover missing information what not add in other local guides review . focus on acceptability , chil zone and parking available or not and try to givehints about there price range also mention there which product / food / part is best .
tourist place focus on unique point and when they captured beautiful moment . toilet there or not and wifi available or not
Molto interessante l’articolo e in particolare i commenti dove si nota che non esiste una formula corretta per recensire un luogo. La cosa essenziale che accomuna tutte le recensioni di successo pare essere la sincerità nell’esprimere la propria esperienza e l’inserimento di dettagli che possano aiutare a capire meglio il posto. Grazie a tutti per il contributo
Thanks for your reply I just think when people want to choose a restaurant their first priority is Food Quality and Food items being served by the restaurant then comfortness environment to have time there others things have minor priority.
I can truly remember how many reviews I have created over the years! But for sure I have written them with passion and interest as well because like you said others around the world literally depend on this including me too. So I think it’s a cool idea to share my views where its needed and of course if I have time
