Review Guidelines

How to write a great review

Helpful reviews are honest, specific, and fair. These guidelines explain how to get the most out of your review — and keep it published.

Understanding the rating scale

PR.Wiki uses a 1–5 star rating. Each star level has a specific meaning — use the guide below to choose the rating that best reflects your experience.

ExcellentOutstanding — exceeded expectations in every way.
GoodPositive experience with only minor issues.
AverageMet basic expectations but nothing stood out.
PoorBelow expectations — notable problems or disappointments.
TerribleSeriously negative experience — significant harm or failure.

Tips for a credible review

Reviews that follow these tips are more useful to readers and less likely to be flagged or removed.

Write while it's fresh

Reviews written close to the experience are more accurate and more useful to readers. Aim to submit within a few weeks of the interaction.

Be specific

Vague reviews like "great person" or "terrible" don't help anyone. Describe what happened, what was said, and why it mattered.

Be balanced

Even in a negative review, acknowledge what went well if anything did. Balanced reviews are more credible and more likely to be trusted.

Match your rating to your words

A glowing review with a 2-star rating — or a scathing review with 5 stars — undermines your credibility. Make sure your score reflects your text.

Avoid personal attacks

Critique actions and outcomes, not personal characteristics. Reviews that attack appearance, identity, or unrelated personal traits will be removed.

One review per experience

Submit one review per genuine interaction. Duplicate reviews from the same person skew ratings and will be removed by our moderation team.

Review categories

When submitting a review, you'll be asked to choose a category. Pick the one that best describes the context of your experience.

ProfessionalWork history, business dealings, professional conduct, reliability as a colleague or contractor.
PersonalCharacter, trustworthiness, and conduct in personal or social contexts.
Landlord / TenantExperiences as a landlord or tenant — property condition, communication, lease adherence.
Seller / BuyerMarketplace transactions — item condition, communication, payment, and follow-through.
Service ProviderFreelancers, tradespeople, and independent service providers — quality, timeliness, and professionalism.
OtherAny genuine first-hand experience that doesn't fit the categories above.

Verified reviews carry more weight

When you verify your identity on PR.Wiki, your reviews are marked as verified and count twice as much in a person's weighted rating. Verification helps the community trust your feedback more — and gives your voice more impact.
