Add a detail that only a real visitor would know
Keep it short, there's no need to write an essay
Add a photo if you want to boost authenticity
weRate isn't about long posts. It’s about real experiences that help others discover great places.
🔐 TrustScore and authenticity
Your review earns XP, LP, and Credits based on its TrustScore, a measure of how credible and grounded in real presence it appears.
Your TrustScore increases with signals like:
A previous check-in at the venue
A recent photo with location data
A receipt upload that will confirm location data & timing
Consistency between visit time and review time
Natural writing patterns that match human language
Higher TrustScore = higher rewards.
You choose how much authenticity you want to add. Nothing is mandatory, but every proof helps.
