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 →

I took 13 hours of lessons with Cercle des Langues with the goal of reaching a B1/B2 level (I'm currently at A2). While I don't think I'll reach my target level by the end of the course, my overall experience has been positive. My teacher,...

Huge disappointment with the organizers who cancel the class if the camera doesn't work. Considering the price of the English course, that's unacceptable!

Absolutely avoid this place! Le Cercle des Langues is a complete marketing rip-off. An overpriced course with poor, poorly structured content that is unworthy of the price. No follow-up, no real support: the student is left to their own d...
