Support India’s Swachh Bharat Mission with a #LooReview 🚽

[TiffanyL99]

Caption: A photo of the back view of a woman in India taking a photo of the outside of a public toilet using her phone.As Local Guides, we’re passionate about helping others in our communities. So Google teamed up with Prime Minister Modi's Swachh Bharat Mission in India—and Local Guides can contribute!

Inspired by Mahatma Gandhi's dream of cleanliness, the Swachh Bharat Mission has built over 30,000 public toilets in more than 500 cities across India. But many toilets need more information on the map so people can find them.

Here’s how Local Guides like you can help: contribute reviews, ratings, and photos of public toilets in your area to help more people get access to clean, well-maintained facilities.

Watch this video to see how one Local Guide writes great #LooReviews:

Here are more tips on how to write your own #LooReview:

Visit and review locations near you

Search for “public toilets near me” or “SBM Toilet” on Google Maps. Many public toilets are missing reviews, ratings, or photos on the map—there may be many of these in your area!

Add a photo of the outside so people can easily find it

Some toilets may be hidden or hard to find. Adding a photo of the outside is an easy way to help guide people to the right place.

Add photos of the inside—but not when people are there

If there are people using the toilet, wait until they are done with their business before taking pictures. If it’s too busy, try to photograph interior details that don’t include people.

Review how clean the facilities are

Cleanliness is essential for a good public toilet, so give praise to places that are clean and well-maintained. If a place is often dirty, mention that in your review.

Check for hours, cost, and privacy

Is the toilet open early in the morning or late at night? Is there a charge? Are there latches on doors? Take note of details like these so others know what to expect.

Note if anything is broken or not working properly

Some public toilets may require repairs, and your reviews help bring attention to those that need attention.

Mention any other helpful or unique details

Some public toilets have extras like showers and dressing rooms. Some are nicely decorated with art. Take note of anything else that makes the place stand out.

Include the hashtag #LooReview

We’ll be looking for our favorite reviews to share on social, and adding this hashtag makes your review easier for us to find. Your #LooReview could be featured next!

For more information on the campaign, visit the Swachh Bharat Mission’s portal.

I've already mapped all toilets in my city on Google maps and also created shared map so everyone can find easily on map. Have a look this map.

[jithinkg92]

Thank you @TiffanyL99 for sharing the information

[muzammil0078]

That's a really useful post, but our work shouldn't only locate a toilet on the map. we must have to verify, whether those toilets are really operational in condition or not.

Also, we must mention locality (considering safety - specifically for ladies) in our comments or review.

JUST LOCATING TOILET ON the MAP shouldn't be just our work. I hope you guys understand what I mean to say.

Thanks a lot.

[Gunmobileapps]

It't great.

[kepompong]

That's right

[HrishikeshB]

Thankyou for this post. I will do my best to update and review local public toilets.

This a great initiative and partnership. I got to know about the toilet projects during a UN organized event on Open Defecation. India has done a great thing and clearly it has helped their rating recently. Congratulations India. Health is wealth. Also, I see safer environment for girls and women too.

Hundred of thousands Toilets have been constructed in the resent past. Many states are now ODF. Used many public toilets in and around Delhi most which are constructed resaonably good but in the absence of running water all of them cannot be said clean. 

Hope needful will be done soon.

For this very Helpful and Necessary Post..

 Thankyou....

[TEJASJANI]

on the Mahatma Gandhi's 149 birthday we give a different type of gift to nation

many public toilet are in our city or country but can not find without asking someone.

On October 2, Gandhiji's 149 birthdays, we decided that any public accessible toilet in the city should be added to Google.

On that day we have organized events in different cities of Gujarat

In this Meetup we explore our city and find public toilets and mapping on Google maps also write reviews, ratings, and adding photos of public toilets in our area to help more people get access to clean, well-maintained facilities.

Thank you. You have done it nicely. Well done. 

[sagargaddam]

@TiffanyL99 This is very nice initiative and will definitely help people in india to look for toilets and check if they can access depending on the review.

Next step would be to use the reviews to maintain public toilets clean

[CeritaDepok]

Sangat menarik dan perlu dilakukan.......

[VickiPilcher]

What a great post! Thanks for sharing 

For the past few years I have been trying to start a Bog Blog on Instagram (@bogblog_sa) about ladies loos in South Africa, but it hasn't gotten off the ground yet. I think Google is the better place to share and map this information 🙂

[Avraham_Jurado]

Amazing job Tiffany! Me gustaria conocer ese lugar 🙂  

[Rahul_Suresh]

If you happen to be taking a photo of a public toilet, expect to get pretty much unwanted attention by "looks" from people around. I have had a similar experiance from a guy at a shop nearby when i took a photo for https://goo.gl/maps/te8zxz7MZLE2

Good job.

Help India with a #LooReview

We've teamed up with Prime Minister Modi's Swachh Bharat Mission to encourage people to use public toilets across 500 cities in India. Here's how to help: Visit and review locations near you so people know which ones are clean and well-maintained. Watch the video for tips on what details to include, and add #LooReview for a chance to be featured on our social channels.

Join the cause

1. Open Google Maps 2. Search public toilets near me 3. Visit different locations and add photos of the facilities 4. Write reviews that mention if places are clean, have latches on the doors, have soap, and other notable details like if there are showers, fees, or dressing rooms 5. Include #LooReview at the end of each one!

[maxwellnakitare]

@TiffanyL99 kudos to you.

[LogeshKumar]

I wholeheartedly appreciate your initiative.U R doing a great job. Also I asssure to follow. I also request google to give same priority to this as it was given to wheel chair accessibility, not only on India but all over the world. Because I find MANY toilets which's EXISTENCE has to be added to Google maps. Thanks☺

[PapiaMandal]

Very good work 🙂

[tuanlv93hp]

tks you so much

[AdrianLunsong]

Great initiative!! Also, just realised that I've never added hashtags before in my reviews. With the search features in reviews, this would come in really handy. However, my concern would be seeing loads of hashtag spam in reviews. It would be better to add the tags outside the review section. Also, is there a set of official tags that we could use to provide better consistency? Anyway, can't wait to do my first #LooReview!!
