How this score works
The score estimates how strongly this place's review record matches known manipulation patterns, from 0 (no signs) to 100. Verdicts: Clean below 40, Suspicious from 40, Likely Manipulated from 70; Review Drive when the flags are mostly staff asking customers for named reviews. It rises with the share of reviews flagged and how suspicious each one is.
- Burst
- — an abnormal spike of five-star reviews in a single day compared to the place's usual pace.
- Low activity account
- — the reviewer has almost no other reviews, photos, or Local Guide history; throwaway accounts look like this.
- Duplicate text
- — the wording is nearly identical to another review of the same place.
Verdicts are statistical estimates based on public review patterns, not accusations. Full methodology, signal definitions and known limits →

This Café is located at a busy crossing with indoor and outdoor seating. Because of the traffic, we went inside so that we could talk audibly. While waiting for our orders, it was nice to look out through the large glass panes and watch the...

Some of the staff were nice. However, I found the woman in charge somewhat inattentive and unfriendly – she wandered around with an overly serious expression and was constantly rearranging things. The café felt very sterile overall. It w...

Lured by the good reviews and appetizing photos here, I overcame the off-putting effect of the makeshift shop sign on the facade to see for myself. The cakes are undoubtedly all homemade, but with the inherent flaws of a home-baked cake. I...

I recently had breakfast at this café and, unfortunately, I have to say it didn't really impress me. In a city like Berlin, where it feels like there's a café on every corner, this place simply lacks that special something. While the selec...

A really nice cafe with friendly service. The food is healthy and freshly prepared – no frozen food, as is unfortunately so often the case. The Eggs Benedict are especially recommended.
