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.
