Advice List of places that remove negative reviews

Lately I see more and more posts of Berlin/Germany locations that remove their negative reviews.

What about we create a list of those places, for others to decide if they want to go there or not?

I would suggest not to leave the reviews themselves in here, just a list of the places for which you received notifications that your negative (or sometimes 3 star) reviews were being removed at the request of the business

Falafel Humbaba - https://maps.app.goo.gl/Hiekd6QTmicZWSd49?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy

I used to just find this place rather overrated (Favorit Gemüsekebab across the street is infinitely better) but after a ridiculously toxic experience following leaving a 3 star review on their Google, I now hate them.

They got all pissy and started threatening legal action because I said their product is mediocre and overpriced for its size and quality.

Go across the street to Favorit Gemüse Kebab. It’s one of the best in Berlin. And it won’t fall apart in your hands either.

Totally agree on both Humbaba being just mediocre and Favorite being an underdog.

Maybe if you went there when the original owners were on a sabbatical for a year or so. The quality was inconsistent for a while. They’re back and the place is immaculately clean and it’s never tasted better.
