Review Guidelines & Community Policy

Our guidelines ensure Complaint-Review remains the most trusted source of real consumer experiences. Every review must follow these principles.

What to Do
  • Write from first-hand experience: Review companies you have personally transacted with or used.
  • Be specific and factual: Include dates, clear details, order numbers or dispute context.
  • Remain constructive: Explain what went wrong or what went well with courteous language.
  • Update your review: If the company resolves your issue, update your rating to reflect the outcome.
What is Prohibited
  • No incentivized or fake reviews: Reviews for payment, discounts, or gifts will be permanently deleted.
  • No personal identifying information: Do not post private phone numbers, home addresses, or staff full names.
  • No hate speech or harassment: Profanity, hate speech, threats, and defamatory attacks are strictly prohibited.
