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 →

Beautiful structure, both inside and outside. But I'd say that the mall itself wasn't that amazing. There were some shops, but nothing really stood out. Great to visit and check out though.

Shopping mall, with access to subway.

Beautiful but either be affluent or prepared to go into debt.

Westfield World Trade Center mostly caters to high-end shopping. Most of the stores there, although they carry nice things, are quite expensive. These stores mostly sell to the wealthy, or tourists from overseas who come to New York. The av...

The restrooms are filthy, trash overflowing, no toilet paper in the stalls. The cleaner was standing there and just told us to complain to the owner to provide toilet paper cause there’s none available. Even the Men’s restroom was stinky ac...

I Love Westfield Mall & The Occulus. Yes, Bathrooms Lack Soap 🫧🧼, which is 🤢. But on April 11, 2026 Saturday at 730am, a lady with a yellow vest beeps the back of my head 🙂‍↕️ Twice On Purpose. I called her boss over. He was defensive....

I’m not kidding when I say this is one of the most stunning malls in America. It doesn’t have a million stores, but that’s part of its charm—it’s really about the atmosphere. The lighting, the open spaces, and the little details all make it feel airy, calm, and inviting. Walking around here is kind...

It’s a solid place to meet friends, grab a bite, or shop a little. Honestly, it's part mall, part art installation. Very NYC.

I truly enjoyed my stay at the World Center Hotel. The location is unbeatable, right next to the Westfield World Trade Center and within walking distance of major attractions like the 9/11 Memorial, Oculus, and One World Observatory.
