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

[TiffanyL99]

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!

Thank you for creating this category google.. India Badly needed this.. alreay started with a review of one of delhi's busiest place Delhi Haat and its dilapidated conditions.. Hopefully the reviews are best used to create awareness among people and those with a duty to get things changed for better.

@TiffanyL99 . It’s a fantastic initiative . Being an Indian , I feel that we should start educating people to use the public toilets / and to keep it clean, along with adding this place in the map and reviewing it . I have been to few western countries and the standard of public toilets in India, compared to them is pathetic . So probably most of the reviews we are gonna get in this category will be of 1or 2 stars with lots of complaints in it. 

This program may not yield results in the immediate future , but definitely once we can keep the toilets clean - see the changes this program is gonna bring .

Hygiene is the first and foremost important thing which we should follow through this opportunity we will be able to improve and enhance the situations of public toilets in india. Please use these toilets as they are your own and keep them clean. As gandhi ji once said that "Be the change you wish to see in the world" so via this theme we all will be the change.

I participated in the campaign and it was  very useful, helpful and  need of the time. Such intiatives are always a feather to the cap of GM which not only improves the cleanliness but also  gives responsibilty to citizens in relevance to Mahatma's Birth Anniverssary. But need lot of improvements.

The Local bodies should take the atmost care to keep their town clean and the toilets clean. Unless they make provisions for storage & supply of water the user cannot keep it clean in the absence of water.The fund allotted for maintenance of such toilets should genuinely utilised for the purpose.... and not show the expenditure in books alon

Even in some places where they charge some fee do not provide water. Pathetically the user need to find some water from outside for his own use.

this the travelers are exploited when there is no other option for them to go for.

@TiffanyL99 , @Terraweb ,

This loo review and video was very inspiring and I felt connected to because it featured my City 😁.

I've been doing my bit to add #looreviews since couple of months and hope to cover the maximum I can.

Thanks
