Our goals:

  • We aim to give honest, fair reviews that are a true reflection of reality, and are not limited by a desire to be unhealthily, eternally positive, nor by a fear of causing offence.
  • All reviews are based on first-hand experiences, with zero influence from businesses aiming to receive a more favourable review.
  • The language that we strive to utilise is oriented towards a more down-to-Earth style of speaking. We hope that it will be a thoroughly pleasant experience for you to read our content.
