It could make you famous

Your review might be chosen as our Review of the Week and published on our Facebook or Twitter page, or appear in one of our sister publications such as The Daily Telegraph and The Sunday Mail.

Also, people value word of mouth and are more likely to use a business they’ve read a review of. But not only are you helping other customers you’re also providing feedback for businesses.

Here are some great reviews that stand out from the crowd

Rands4035 reviewed Cha Cha Char Wine Bar and Grill: If you want the best steak in the whole world (no joke, I didn’t believe it either) come here. Don’t bother going anywhere else... at all. The steaks are between $30-$35 but that is probably only $5-$7 more than you would pay elsewhere. The quality is phenomenal. The service is great, and the restaurant enjoys fab views of the Brisbane river. Don’t wait, go there. Now!
Drappy reviewed Calabro Movers: I researched for a removalist for some time and Calabro’s seemed to have the best reviews so I booked them. I was not disappointed with the service, the guys were excellent and worked non stop up and down those stairs without a fuss. They also bought along some portarobes and had a special box for our flat TV which they said we could use and it doesn’t cost extra. I guess the main thing I was happiest with is there were no hidden costs just a flat hourly fee which included everything, and the guys were lovely and very careful and professional at all stages of the job. Very happy with this service and would recommend to anyone moving.

Some extra guidance

All reviews must be based on personal experiences with the business and its services. Keep reviews truthful, objective and helpful.

All reviews are moderated before being published to ensure nothing offensive, defamatory or derogatory is published.

It’s worth reading the Member Guidelines before you start.

Our rating system

We use the star ratings for businesses. Half a star is the lowest you can award, while five stars is, obviously, for superb service.

To avoid confusion with the internationally recognised hotel star system, TrueLocal uses ticks when rating accommodation, be it hotel, motel or hostel. It relies purely on consumer opinion, from people like you who know a great place when they sleep in one.
