Review Authenticity Check

Paste a provider review (or several). The tool runs heuristic checks for the patterns that fake or self-written reviews tend to share — template phrases, missing specifics, unrealistic ratings, copy-paste construction. Pure client-side; nothing leaves your browser.

How fake reviews work

The most common fake-review patterns: provider self-writes a glowing five-star review under a sock-puppet account; a paid “review service” generates lots of reviews with template phrases; or a single real review is template-cloned with names swapped. Genuine reviews usually contain odd-but-specific details (the name of a drink, an unusual conversation topic, a subtle physical observation) that fake reviews skip because they read as “risky.”

Heuristic, not verdict. Some genuine reviews are just unimaginatively written, and some fakes are well-crafted. Use the score as one input among several — alongside profile age, review distribution over time, and consistency with other reviews of the same provider.
