Thanks! Can you share privately the review? I'm curious.

This is my most appreciated (positive) review, about Fontana di Trevi: https://goo.gl/maps/vAWSAqgcHJx
It's nothing special, but is all from my own thoughts.
My most appreciated reviews are for businesses that i will not share here, as extremely negative.

Anybody else wants to share the best reviews?

This isn't a review, but it's my feedback on a recent change to Google Apps.
Hopefully it's not too irrelevant to this thread. Awesome work on getting people to share their reviews, Lucio.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The new feature that tries to get you to rate a place after you submit an edit is really, really annoying. Please stop pestering me for reviews! Just because I know enough about a place to make an edit doesn't mean that I'm ready to give it a star rating.
You're making Google Maps act like a cheap, poorly built app that serves up too many annoying advertisements with this new window that asks you too often to rate businesses.
This feature doesn't seem to mesh with Google's overall philosophy of not annoying the customer. Plus, with the timing, you're going to get a lot of people accidentally clicking on it, and accidentally leaving 2-star ratings. That's why I say you're making it like a cheap app that's trying to fetch ad revenue by accidental clicks. You're trying to get accidental ratings, but in my head it's the same thing.

Hi @LucioV, that's an interesting topic, especially when we all are trying to write more descriptive reviews on maps. So, did you mean to say the most 'liked' reviews or the best review that I have posted?
The below review is probably the most liked one among all my reviews, but that is not my best review. I am still looking for the one that I posted around 2 years back, on a location in Sylhet. But I am not finding it on maps. Let me look for it, Will share it later.
