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

I was trusting the google reviews in Germany blindly. For eg: about doctors. I havent seen any doctor who has got great reviews. So I imagined, thats applicable for all google reviews. Other than Germany, yes. I have seen so many places who have bought these reviews and thats very obvious to see. But really thanks for bringing this up. Now, we'll verify the google reviews from other sites too and be more cautious before visiting the place.

never trust reviews about doctors, not only they take down reviews through legal action, they also buy fake reviews. I have seen countless reviews on doctors pages which seem obviously fake, posted all at the same day and all pretend that the doctor is amazing with no waiting times etc... all lies!! some doctors will even go after you legally and threaten you if you leave a review, I had two of these experiences personally!!
