The best reviews are personal, passionate, and reflect your consumer experience. They offer a rich narrative, a wealth of detail, and a helpful tip or two for other consumers. Here are some additional thoughts for conscientious reviewers:
- Personal experience: We want to hear about your first hand experience, not what you heard from your partner or co-worker, or what you saw in the news. Tell your own story without resorting to broad generalizations and conclusory allegations.
- Accuracy: Make sure your review is factually correct. Feel free to air your opinions, but don’t exaggerate or misrepresent your experience. We don’t take sides when it comes to factual disputes, so we expect you to stand behind your review.
- Demanding payment: Writing a review should be informative and meant to help the broader Reviewbah community. You should not threaten to post or offer to remove a negative review as a way to extract payment from a business.
- Review updates: Review updates should reflect a new experience or interaction with the business. Don’t keep posting about the same old story you’ve already told.
