Manipulation score
SuspiciousCompleted Aug 5, 2026 · 385 reviews flagged
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.

Anthony and Silvio are the best servers in Miami hands down. Komodo is better with them there. Every time we go it’s all about the experience and making sure we are cared for and shown a good time. It’s the little things that make Komodo great, and they have mastered that. They are like family now....
