Review policy
How reviews work, who can write them, and what we remove.
Reviews on JustNearby help people choose local businesses. To keep them useful and fair:
Who can review
- You must sign in with your email address before you review. We never show your email.
- One review per person per business. You can update it at any time.
- Owners and staff can't review their own business, and businesses must not review competitors.
- Reviews must be about your own, genuine experience. Don't post reviews you've been paid or rewarded for, or written for someone else.
What we publish
- We publish all genuine reviews, good and bad. Businesses can't remove reviews they don't like, and we don't hide negative reviews.
- We remove reviews that are fake, abusive, discriminatory, include personal information, or aren't about a real experience with the business.
- Businesses can reply publicly to any review.
Reporting a review
Anyone can report a review using “Report this review”. We look at reports within two working days and keep a record of what we decide.
JustNearby doesn't edit reviews and doesn't change the order of reviews for payment. Ratings are the average of all published reviews.
