With dozens of similar businesses often listed in the same category, choosing the right one can feel overwhelming. A few small details usually tell you more than a star rating alone.
Start with recency: a business with steady reviews over the last few months is a better signal than one with fifty reviews from three years ago and silence since.
Ratings tell you how people felt. Recent reviews tell you what's actually happening right now.
Look past the average
Read a few of the most recent reviews in full, check whether the business responds to feedback, and compare listed hours against when you actually plan to visit.
