1/ Reviews and post photos
Each review is about interesting features of the place or my good and bad experiences in real-life.
Example:
ISPC Gent Market.

ISPC Gent is a big supermarket with lots of food and drinks, good prices but a membership card is required to go shopping. It mainly serves wholesaler, restaurants and hotels.

Royal city is a new urban area in Hanoi capital. Especially, it has five large basements. This is the most modern shopping, dining and entertainment complex in Vietnam

When you drink beer with a special tall glass, you have to hand them a shoe of yours as collateral. The shoe was put in a basket hanging from the ceiling. After you’ve finished your drink and returned the glass to the shop, you will get your shoe back.
In my opinion, reviews are very important to help people make the right decision. It encourages the people who work there to work better. Whenever I give reviews and ratings, I always try to evaluate them correctly. I feel happy when the owner thanks me for writing a review about them
Example:

Post photos:
I usually take various kind of photos from overview to detail. I try to take pictures that contain a lot of information. The information is simple but really useful. When posting photos of the restaurant, I tried to take photos of the restaurants’ address, the menu photos gave viewers information about the dishes, prices.
Example:
Abu Dhabi airport has a library

Thanh Lich Restaurant is popular in Can Gio, Ho Chi Minh City

When I went to the restaurant the food was delicious, the space was cool, the price was good but the toilet was dirty so I could not rank high.
Every time I received a letter from the Google map announcing that many people saw my photos. I feel so happy to bring information to them. I wonder why this picture is viewed by so many people, what are people interested in? Content or technique?
2/ I have learned a lot of knowledge from people’s reviews
I am not only writing reviews but also seeing people’s comments.
I found very good accommodation and restaurants in Phnom Penh when I was traveling to Cambodia.

Experience has shown me that some people comment on google maps incorrectly, so I have to see many reviews to make a decision whether or not to use the service.
In general, comments by high-level Local Guides people are often of better quality. Higher level Local Guides experience more practical, fairly accurate reviews. They are knowledgeable, can be trusted. I like to see where they go, where they eat, where to play and what hotel? Learn knowledge from good people.
I am grateful for everyone’s comments so when I finish the service I always respond.
