How do I write a review?
Once you’ve logged in as a member, simply find the business you want to review and click ’Write a review’. A box pops up that lets you score the business out of five and write a review, up to 1000 characters.
Please remember to write responsibly and keep all reviews personal, objective, truthful and helpful. It’s worth reading the Ratings & Reviews Guidelines before you begin.
Provided you follow the guidelines, you can write what you like. Here’s a sample review for some inspiration:

What can I review?
You can have your say on pretty much any business you’ve found within TrueLocal, provided of course you have some personal experience of it. To give you some ideas on popular businesses to review, here’s a handy list:
- Health and beauty
Review your hairdresser, gym, beauty salon or health centre. - Professional services
Know a good lawyer, accountant, mortgage lender or financial planner? Spill the beans and do us all a favour. - Medical services
Review your vet, local chemist, favourite dentist or optometrist. It’s always good to know the better ones out there. - Restaurants and cafes
Everyone’s got a favourite coffee house and a handful of restaurants they can’t live without. Support them and tell others what you really think. - Trades
Know a reliable electrician, cleaner, builder, gardener or removalist. There are great trades people out there, and some not so great. Let us know. - Automotive
We’d love to get your feedback on the best car servicing and mechanics out there. You could also review your smash repairer, brake & clutch specialist or even the spare parts business you always go to. Car hire is also a popular search so don’t forget to think about them too.
