Review tips

[Conrad]

Just remembered I meant to do this today. I am thinking that above the review we have something about "see review tips" and when clicked on it a drops a list of tips on what improves a review. My starter for ten.

• Mention what the pub serves: Real Ale, Food?
• Did you notice any facilities/problems for access?
• Was the pub friendly to children and/or pets?
• If you are leaving a rating, please mention what added or lost the pub points?
• Would you go back to the pub?
• Was there a nice selection of decorative twigs?
• If you are employed by the pub, please mention your interest.

What are peoples feelings on this, any improvements to phrasing and other suggestions?

Pub reviews might also include:
The general ambience/welcome (or lack of)/volume that Motorhead is played on the juke box.
Open all day every day or just when the gaffer can be bothered?
Modern/contemporary/traditional/dilapidated.
Number and type of public rooms.
Cleanliness - of bar/toilets/barmaid's fingernails.
Beer garden/patio/yard/pavement.
Price guide
Access in terms of public transport/car parking/remoteness
Anything that makes the pub different from most other places
Oh, and does it serve the best Carling for miles around

One other tip: avoid using text-speak

Added to the list. Wonder what made you think of that .

Quite an important one really, so hopefully will soon be done, shouldn't be too hard to do.

No idea how it is done, but Trip Advisor has tips, which remain in window whilst adding review, just a thought

Never actually used it and not keen to sign up. If it is like the pop up that just abused me as I went in then I have considered it. The problem is whenever I try that they come out rubbish, something about me finds them impossible to design.

Also not sure if some would be bothered by perpetually showing them, there seemed to be a certain amount of offence in the thread that I was even suggesting there should be a way of doing reviews.

I'm not keen on review guidelines as I think it will put people off commenting if they think they have to fulfill certain criteria for their comment to be accepted.

A comment of 'This place is wicked, full of fit burds and the music is banging' isn't an ideal review, but it's better than nothing and I'd hate to think someone didn't post as they thought the site was a bit up itself.
