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.

Me and my family are from the UK and we had breakfast from diner’s 3 mornings in a row this was by far the poorest. The food literally didn’t taste of anything it was so bland and really overpriced. The wait staff were wonderful and the food came fast, but I couldn’t taste the Hollandaise whatsoever...
