The spirit of the place
Rahhala is an honest travel friend: we praise what earns it and flag what annoys, without hype or smearing. Write as you would advise your brother before his trip.
What makes a great review?
A specific personal experience: when did you go? With whom? What surprised you, what disappointed? 'Clean hotel but breakfast jams after 8am' beats 'amazing!' a thousand times. One review per destination — edit it whenever you visit again.
Review or question?
A review = something you lived. A question = something you want to know. If your sentence ends in a question mark, it belongs on the Ask board — community answers arrive faster there.
The trust ladder
Every useful contribution raises your points: a review, an answer, an approved place, a local phrase. Points unlock abilities (confirming flagged places, direct edits later) — they are not currency and cannot be bought.
What gets removed, and why?
Phone numbers (protecting everyone from harassment and fraud), naming-and-shaming individuals (criticize the service, not the person), disguised promotion (identify yourself if it's your business), fake reviews, and nightlife/alcohol venues (we're family-oriented — they appear only as avoidance advisories or legal warnings that help travelers).
Your experience updates the guide
Our favorite feature: when your review carries a new factual update ('the museum now opens Fridays'), you may later find it on the guide page itself — attributed to you. You're not just writing a review; you're maintaining a guide for those after you.
Reporting and appeals
See a violation? The report button sits beside every piece of content. Had content hidden and think it unfair? Object via Contribute and a human will review it — sensitive decisions here are always human.
Your privacy, your hand
The privacy switch in your profile hides your map and trip log from others. Your saved list ('want to visit') is always private regardless of profile visibility. And 'Export my data' hands you a full copy anytime.
