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. 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.

I love popping into Hampton and Vouis as it’s a lovely friendly place to go to for food and coffee. I love having breakfast here with their Buxton coffee. It’s easy to get to and so close to St. Peter’s square and the tram stop. #relax #enjoy #goodfoodamdcoffee.

We came here around midday on a weekend there was a bit of a wait to get in. However the staff were lovely and informed you how long it would be offered a QR code to scan in the queue to look at the menu. All the food we had was lovely and managed to get something that fit each of our preferences....

Fantastic brunch! Lots of different and I interesting options making it hard to decide. Had the olive garden and it was so delicious. The coffees were great and service was very quick. Super friendly staff.
